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, 2018, owned 99.0% 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 owns 19,953,631 of PBFX’s common units constituting an aggregate 44.0% limited partner interest in PBFX and owns all of PBFX’s incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”), with the remaining 56.0% limited partner interest owned by public unitholders as of September 30, 2018.
 
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 the completion of certain acquisitions from PBF LLC, refer to PBF MLP Predecessor, our predecessor for accounting purposes (our “Predecessor”), which includes assets, liabilities and results of operations of certain crude oil, refined products, natural gas and intermediates transportation, terminaling and storage assets, previously operated and owned by certain of PBF Holding’s currently and previously held subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2018, 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.

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 the completion of certain acquisitions from PBF LLC, 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, which 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; 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 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, 2017, which we refer to as our 2017 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, and to realize the benefits from such acquisitions;
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, natural gas and logistics services;
our ability to successfully implement our business plan;
our dependence on PBF Energy for a substantial majority of our revenues subjects us to the business risks of PBF Energy, which includes the possibility that contracts will not be renewed because they are no longer beneficial for PBF Energy;
a substantial majority of our revenue is generated at certain 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;
the price and availability of debt and equity financing;
operating hazards and other risks incidental to handling crude oil, petroleum products and natural gas;
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 natural gas 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;
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.

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, 2018, owned 99.0% 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 owns 19,953,631 PBFX common units constituting an aggregate 44.0% limited partner interest in PBFX and owns all of PBFX’s incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”), with the remaining 56.0% limited partner interest owned by public unitholders as of September 30, 2018.

PBFX engages in the receiving, handling, storage and transferring of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and intermediates. The Partnership does not take ownership of or receive any payments based on the value of the crude oil, products, natural gas 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, and as a result, the Partnership continues to generate a substantial majority of its revenue from transactions with PBF Holding. Additionally, certain of PBFX’s assets also generate revenue from third-party transactions.

On April 16, 2018, the Partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Logistics Products Terminals LLC (“PLPT”), completed the purchase of two refined product terminals located in Knoxville, Tennessee, which include product tanks, pipeline connections to the Colonial and Plantation pipeline systems and truck loading facilities (the “Knoxville Terminals”) from Cummins Terminals, Inc. (“Cummins”) for total cash consideration of approximately $58,000, excluding working capital adjustments (the “Knoxville Terminals Purchase”). This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Refer to Note 3 “Acquisitions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the Knoxville Terminals Purchase.

On July 16, 2018, PBFX entered into an agreement with Crown Point International, LLC, formerly known as Axeon Specialty Products LLC, to purchase its wholly-owned subsidiary, CPI Operations LLC (the “East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition”) for total consideration of $107,000, which is comprised of an initial payment at closing of $75,000 with the balance being payable one year after closing. The East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition closed on October 1, 2018. This acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination under GAAP.

On July 16, 2018, the Partnership entered into four contribution agreements with PBF LLC pursuant to which PBF Energy contributed to PBFX certain of its subsidiaries (the “Development Assets Contribution Agreements”). Pursuant to the Development Assets Contribution Agreements, the Partnership acquired from PBF LLC all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of: Toledo Rail Logistics Company LLC (“TRLC”), whose assets consist of a loading and unloading rail facility located at PBF Holding’s Toledo Refinery (the “Toledo Rail Products Facility”); Chalmette Logistics Company LLC (“CLC”), whose assets consist of a truck loading rack facility (the “Chalmette Truck Rack”) and a rail yard facility (the “Chalmette Rosin Yard”), both of which are located at PBF Holding’s Chalmette Refinery; Paulsboro Terminaling Company LLC (“PTC”), whose assets consist of a lube oil terminal facility located at PBF Holding’s Paulsboro Refinery (the “Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal”); and DCR Storage and Loading Company LLC (“DSLC”), whose assets consist of an ethanol storage facility located at PBF Holding’s Delaware City Refinery (the “Delaware Ethanol Storage Facility” and collectively with the Toledo Rail Products Facility, the Chalmette Truck Rack, the Chalmette Rosin Yard, and the Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal, the “Development Assets”). The acquisition of the Development Assets closed on July 31, 2018 for total consideration of $31,586, consisting of 1,494,134 common units issued to PBF LLC (the “Development Assets Acquisition”). This acquisition was accounted for as a transfer of assets between entities under common control under GAAP. Refer to Note 3 “Acquisitions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the Development Assets Acquisition.

Principles of Combination and Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

In connection with, and subsequent to, PBFX’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the Partnership has acquired certain assets from PBF LLC (collectively referred to as the “Contributed Assets”). Such acquisitions completed subsequent to the IPO were made through a series of drop-down transactions with PBF LLC (collectively referred to as the “Acquisitions from PBF”). 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 consolidated financial statements and related notes present the results of operations and cash flows 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 Energy 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 (i) the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”) for additional information regarding the Acquisitions from PBF and the commercial agreements and amendments to other agreements with related parties executed in connection with these acquisitions, and (ii) Note 3 “Acquisitions” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the Development Assets Acquisition.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by 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 for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The Predecessor generally did not historically operate its respective assets for the purpose of generating revenues independent of other PBF Energy businesses prior to PBFX’s IPO or for assets acquired in the Acquisitions from PBF, prior to the effective dates of each transaction, with the exception of the Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Goodwill

Goodwill, related to an acquisition, is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets and is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes; however, it is subject to annual assessment to determine if an impairment of goodwill has occurred. The Partnership performs this impairment review annually as of July 1, or in any period prior to the annual assessment in which the Partnership experiences any circumstances that would indicate an impairment exists, such as disruptions in its business or other significant declines in results. An impairment loss is recorded if the implied fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value. Reporting units are based on a component of the business with discrete financial information that management reviews on a regular basis. The Partnership reviews its reporting units on an annual basis.

Intangibles

The Partnership’s intangibles are comprised of customer relationships, which were acquired in connection with the Knoxville Terminals Acquisition and were recorded at estimated fair value at the date of acquisition.

Intangibles with definite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their relative estimated useful life, or the period of which they provide an economic benefit. The customer relationships estimated useful life for

the Knoxville Terminals Acquisition were determined to be 10 years. Intangible assets are included in “Other non-current assets.”

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Topic 606), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605”), and requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Partnership adopted ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. See Note 2 “Revenue” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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. Additional ASUs have been issued subsequent to ASU 2016-02 to provide supplementary clarification and implementation guidance for leases related to, among other things, the application of certain practical expedients, the rate implicit in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and purchase options, variable payments that depend on an index or rate and certain transition adjustments (collectively, the Partnership refers to ASU 2016-02 and these additional ASUs as the “Updated Lease Guidance”). The Updated Lease 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. The Updated Lease Guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. While early adoption is permitted, the Partnership will not early adopt the Updated Lease Guidance. The Partnership has established a working group to study the implementation of the Updated Lease Guidance and has instituted a task plan designed to meet the requirements and implementation deadline. The Partnership has also evaluated and purchased a lease software system, completed software design and configuration of the system, and substantially completed testing the implementation of the selected system. The working group continues to evaluate the impact of the Updated Lease Guidance on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has designed and begun implementing business processes and controls to address the new guidance. While the assessment of this standard is ongoing, the Partnership has identified that the most significant impacts of the Updated Lease Guidance will be to bring nearly all leases, with the exception of certain short-term leases, on its balance sheet reflected as right of use assets and lease obligation liabilities as well as accelerating recognition of the interest expense component of financing leases. The new standard will also require additional disclosures for financing and operating leases. The Updated Lease Guidance allows for certain practical expedients, certain of which the Partnership has elected to adopt, including, among others, the expedient to carry forward the classification of leases under current lease guidance once the Updated Lease Guidance becomes effective, the expedient to not include short-term leases on the Partnership’s balance sheet and to avail itself of the additional transition method whereby the Partnership will apply the Updated Lease Guidance on the effective date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”) to provide updated guidance on goodwill impairment testing. Under ASU 2017-04, goodwill impairment Step 2 would be eliminated. This step required a comparison of the implied fair value and carrying value of goodwill of the reporting unit. Subsequent to the effective date of ASU 2017-04, during the annual, or if applicable, interim goodwill impairment assessment, entities would perform the test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying value of the reporting unit. The impairment charge would be the excess amount of which carrying value is greater than fair value, with the total amount limited to the carrying value of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or, if applicable, interim goodwill impairment assessments beginning

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


after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. REVENUE

Adoption of ASC 606

Prior to January 1, 2018, the Partnership recognized revenue from customers when all of the following criteria were met: (i) persuasive evidence of an exchange arrangement existed, (ii) delivery had occurred or services had been rendered, (iii) the buyer’s price was fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability was reasonably assured. Amounts billed in advance of the period in which the service was rendered or product delivered were recorded as deferred revenue. 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Partnership adopted ASC 606. As a result, the Partnership has changed the accounting policy for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers as detailed below.

The Partnership adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, which has been applied for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Partnership has applied ASC 606 only to those contracts that were not complete as of January 1, 2018. As such, the financial information for prior periods has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605. The Partnership did not record a cumulative effect adjustment upon initially applying ASC 606 as there was not a significant impact upon adoption; however, the details of significant qualitative and quantitative disclosure changes upon implementing ASC 606 are discussed below.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Partnership expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

As noted in Note 11 “Segment Information” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Partnership’s business consists of two reportable segments: (i) Transportation and Terminaling and (ii) Storage.

The following table provides information relating to the Partnership’s revenues for each service category by segment for the periods presented:

PBFX recognizes revenue by charging fees for crude oil and refined products terminaling, storing and pipeline services based on the greater of contractual minimum volume commitments (“MVCs”), as applicable, or the delivery of actual volumes transferred or stored based on contractual rates applied to throughput or storage volumes.

PBF LOGISTICS LP

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


Minimum Volume Commitments

Transportation and Terminaling

The Partnership’s Transportation and Terminaling segment consists of product terminals, pipelines, crude unloading facilities and other facilities capable of handling barges and ships. Certain of these commercial agreements contain MVCs. Under these commercial agreements, if the Partnership’s customer fails to transport its minimum throughput volumes during any specified period, the customer will pay the Partnership a deficiency payment equal to the volume of the deficiency multiplied by the contractual rate then in effect. The deficiency payment is initially recorded as deferred revenue on the Partnership’s balance sheets for all contracts in which the MVC deficiency makeup period is contractually longer than a fiscal quarter.

Certain of the Partnership’s customers may apply the amount of any such deficiency payments as a credit for volumes transported on the applicable pipeline or terminal system in excess of its MVC during the following quarters under the terms of the applicable agreement. The Partnership recognizes operating revenues for the deficiency payments when credits are used for volumes transported in excess of MVCs or at the end of the contractual period. If the Partnership determines, based on all available information, that it is remote that the Partnership’s customer will utilize these deficiency payments, the amount of the expected unused credits will be recognized as operating revenues in the period when that determination is made. The use or recognition of the credits is recorded as a reduction to deferred revenue.

Storage

The Partnership earns storage revenue under the crude oil and refined products storage contracts through capacity reservation agreements, where the Partnership collects a fee for reserving storage capacity for customers in its facilities. Customers generally pay reservation fees based on the level of storage capacity reserved rather than the actual volumes stored.

As of September 30, 2018, future fees for MVCs to be received related to noncancelable commercial terminaling, pipeline and storage agreements were as follows:

$
1,342,477


Leases

Certain of the Partnership’s commercial agreements are considered operating leases. Under these leasing agreements, the Partnership provides access to storage tanks and/or use of throughput assets that convey the right to control the use of an identified asset to the customer. The Partnership accounts for these transactions under ASC 840 “Leases.” These lease arrangements accounted for $31,514 and $91,439 of the Partnership’s revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, which have been retrospectively adjusted for the Development Assets Acquisition.

Deferred Revenue

The Partnership records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable. Deferred revenue was $1,183 and $1,438 as of


13

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


September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The decrease in the deferred revenue balance as of September 30, 2018 is primarily driven by the timing and extent of cash payments received in advance of satisfying the Partnership’s performance obligations for the comparative periods.

The Partnership’s payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the services offered. The period between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant (i.e., generally within two months). For certain services and customer types, the Partnership requires payment before the services are performed for the customer.

Significant Judgment and Practical Expedients

For performance obligations, the Partnership determined that customers are able to obtain control of these services over time. The Partnership determined that these performance obligations, which are satisfied over time, are considered a series that generally have the same pattern of transfer to customers. For stand ready performance obligations, the Partnership generally recognizes revenue over time on a straight-line basis under the time-elapsed output method as the Partnership believes this is a reasonable basis in determining how customers obtain the benefits of the Partnership’s services. For non-stand ready performance obligations, the Partnership generally recognizes revenue over time based on actual performance (current period volumes multiplied by the applicable rate per unit of volume) as the Partnership believes this accurately depicts the transfer of benefits to customers.
  
The Partnership did not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Partnership recognizes revenue at the amount to which the Partnership has the right to invoice for services performed.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Knoxville Terminals Purchase

On April 16, 2018, the Partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PLPT, completed the third-party Knoxville Terminals Purchase. The Knoxville Terminals consist of two refined product terminals located in Knoxville, Tennessee, which include product tanks, pipeline connections to the Colonial and Plantation pipeline systems and truck loading facilities.

The aggregate purchase price for the Knoxville Terminals Purchase was $58,000, excluding working capital. The consideration was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Partnership’s Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6 “Debt” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

PBFX accounted for the Knoxville Terminals Purchase as a business combination under GAAP whereby the Partnership recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Any excess consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The fair value allocation is subject to adjustment pending completion of the final purchase valuation which was in process as of September 30, 2018.

Development Assets Acquisition

On July 31, 2018, the Partnership closed the Development Assets Acquisition. Pursuant to the Development Assets Contribution Agreements, the Partnership acquired from PBF LLC all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TRLC, whose assets consist of the Toledo Rail Products Facility; CLC, whose assets consist of the Chalmette Truck Rack and the Chalmette Rosin Yard; PTC, whose assets consist of the Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal; and DSLC, whose assets consist of the Delaware Ethanol Storage Facility. In connection with the Development Asset Acquisition, the Partnership entered into various commercial agreements with PBF Holding and assumed a commercial agreement with a third-party. The Development Assets Acquisition closed on July 31, 2018 for total consideration of $31,586, consisting of 1,494,134 common units issued to PBF LLC.

As the Development Assets Acquisition was considered a transfer of assets between entities under common control, TRLC’s, CLC’s, PTC’s and DSLC’s assets and liabilities were transferred at their historical carrying value, or $12,677, as of July 31, 2018. The financial information of PBFX contained herein has been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of the Development Assets, with the exception of the Delaware Ethanol

Storage Facility, which is considered an asset purchase, as if the Development Assets were owned by the Partnership for all periods presented. Net loss attributable to the Development Assets 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.

____________________
(a) PBFX had $4,010 outstanding letters of credit and $445,990 available under its Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) as of September 30, 2018.

On July 30, 2018, the Partnership entered into a $500,000 amended and restated revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The Revolving Credit Facility amends and restates the Partnership’s five-year $360,000 revolving credit facility entered into on May 14, 2014, concurrent with the closing of PBFX’s IPO.

The Revolving Credit Facility is available to fund working capital, acquisitions, distributions and capital expenditures and for other general partnership purposes. The Partnership has the ability to increase the maximum amount of the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate amount of up to $250,000, to a total facility size of $750,000, subject to receiving increased commitments from lenders or other financial institutions and satisfaction of certain conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $75,000 sublimit for standby letters of credit and a $25,000 sublimit for swingline loans. Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Partnership’s restricted subsidiaries, and are secured by a first priority lien on the Partnership’s assets and those of the Partnership’s restricted subsidiaries. The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility is July 30, 2023, but may be extended for one year on up to two occasions, subject to certain customary terms and conditions. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest either at the 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 agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for revolving credit facilities of this nature which, among other things, limit or restrict the Partnership’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee debt, incur liens, make investments, make restricted payments, amend material contracts, engage in certain business activities, engage in mergers, consolidations and other organizational changes, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into burdensome agreements, or enter into transactions with affiliates on terms which are not at arm’s length.

Additionally, commencing with the Measurement Period (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) which ended on September 30, 2018, the Partnership is required to maintain the following financial ratios, each as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement: (a) Consolidated Interest Coverage of at least 2.50 to 1.00, (b) Consolidated Total Leverage of not greater than 4.50 to 1.00 and (c) Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains events of default customary for transactions of their nature, including, but not limited to (and subject to grace periods in certain circumstances), the failure to pay any principal, interest or fees when due, failure to perform or observe any covenant contained in the Revolving Credit Facility or related documentation, any representation or warranty made in the agreements or related documentation being


22

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


untrue in any material respect when made, default under certain material debt agreements, commencement of bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings, certain changes in the Partnership’s ownership or the ownership or board composition of PBF GP and material judgments or orders. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the agreements, the lenders may, among other things, terminate their commitments, declare any outstanding loans to be immediately due and payable and/or exercise remedies against the Partnership and the collateral as may be available to the lenders under the agreements and related documentation or applicable law.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, PBFX paid down $43,700 and subsequently borrowed $64,000 under the Revolving Credit Facility to fund the Knoxville Terminals Purchase and other capital expenditures and working capital requirements. On October 1, 2018, the Partnership borrowed $75,000 to fund the East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition. Refer to Note 12 “Subsequent Events” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition.

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.

The estimated fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates its carrying value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, as this borrowing bears interest based upon short-term floating market interest rates. The estimated fair value of the Partnership’s 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “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 $539,494 and $544,118 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The carrying value and fair value of PBFX’s debt, exclusive of unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized premium on the 2023 Notes, was approximately $575,000 and $589,494 as of September 30, 2018 and $554,700 and $573,818 as of December 31, 2017, respectively.

7. EQUITY

PBFX had 25,393,565 common units outstanding held by the public as of September 30, 2018. PBF LLC owns 19,953,631 of PBFX’s common units constituting an aggregate 44.0% limited partner interest in PBFX as of September 30, 2018.

Share Activity

PBFX’s partnership agreement, as amended, authorizes PBFX to issue an unlimited number of additional partnership interests for the consideration and on the terms and conditions determined by PBFX’s general partner without the approval of the unitholders. It is possible that PBFX will fund future acquisitions through the issuance of additional common units, subordinated units or other partnership interests.

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

8. 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. There were 8,750 and 145,500 anti-dilutive phantom units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 13,375 and 84,750 anti-dilutive phantom units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. 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 IDRs 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. On July 30, 2018, PBFX closed the Registered Direct Offering of an aggregate of 1,775,750 common units for gross proceeds of approximately $35,000. On July 31, 2018, PBFX funded the $31,586 purchase price for the Development Assets Acquisition through the issuance of 1,494,134 common units to PBF LLC.

On June 1, 2017, following the May 31, 2017 payment of the cash distribution attributable to the second quarter of 2017, the requirements under PBFX’s partnership agreement, as amended, for the conversion of all subordinated units into common units were satisfied and the subordination period for such subordinated units ended. As a result, in the second quarter of 2017, each of the Partnership’s 15,886,553 outstanding subordinated units converted into common units and began participating pro rata with the other common units in distributions of available cash. The conversion did not impact the amount of the cash distribution paid or the total number of the Partnership’s outstanding units representing limited partner interests. The Partnership’s net income was allocated to the limited partners, including the holders of the subordinated units through May 31, 2017, and IDR holders, in accordance with the partnership agreement.

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 limited partners and IDR holders for that reporting period. Net loss attributable to the Development Assets 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.
