1. Organization and Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
Organization
We are a growth-oriented limited partnership focused on the midstream segment of the oil and gas industry in the Gulf Coast area of the United States. We conduct our operations through our operating subsidiaries and joint ventures. We manage our businesses through four divisions:
|
· |
Pipeline transportation of crude oil and carbon dioxide; |
|
· |
Refinery services involving processing of high sulfur (or “sour”) gas streams for refineries to remove the sulfur, and sale of the related by-product, sodium hydrosulfide (or NaHS, commonly pronounced nash); |
|
· |
Supply and logistics services, which includes terminaling, blending, storing, marketing, and transporting by trucks and barges of crude oil and petroleum products; and |
|
· |
Industrial gas activities, including wholesale marketing of CO2 and processing of syngas through a joint venture. |
Our 2% general partner interest is held by Genesis Energy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect subsidiary of Denbury Resources Inc. Denbury and its subsidiaries are hereafter referred to as Denbury. Our general partner and its affiliates also own 10.2% of our outstanding common units.
Our general partner manages our operations and activities and employs our officers and personnel, who devote 100% of their efforts to our management.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end and the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared
by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they reflect all adjustments (which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for interim periods. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the information contained in the periodic reports we file with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Except per unit amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in thousands of dollars.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes present our consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and our results of operations, changes in comprehensive income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and changes in capital for the three months ended
March 31, 2009. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include Genesis Energy, L.P. and its operating subsidiaries, Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. and Genesis NEJD Holdings, LLC, and their subsidiaries.
We participate in three joint ventures: DG Marine Transportation, LLC (DG Marine), T&P Syngas Supply Company (T&P Syngas) and Sandhill Group, LLC (Sandhill). We acquired our interest in DG Marine in July 2008, and, since then DG Marine has been consolidated in our financial statements. We account for
our 50% investments in T&P Syngas and Sandhill by the equity method of accounting.
Our general partner owns a 0.01% general partner interest in Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. and TD Marine, LLC (TD Marine), a related party, owns the remaining 51% economic interest in DG Marine. The net interest of our general partner and TD Marine in our results of operations and financial position are reflected in our financial statements
as non-controlling interests.

2. Recent Accounting Developments
Implemented
SFAS 141(R)
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R) “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This statement retains the purchase method of accounting used in business combinations but replaces
SFAS 141 by establishing principles and requirements for the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities and goodwill, including the requirement that most transaction costs and restructuring costs be charged to expense as incurred. In addition, the statement requires disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) will apply to acquisitions we make after December 31, 2008. The
impact to us will be dependent on the nature of the business combination.
SFAS 160
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160). This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests, which have been referred to as minority interests in prior literature. A
noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent company. This new standard requires, among other things, that (i) ownership interests of noncontrolling interests be presented as a component of equity on the balance sheet (i.e. elimination of the mezzanine “minority interest” category); (ii) elimination of minority interest expense as a line item on the statement of operations and, as a result, that net income be allocated
between the parent and the noncontrolling interests on the face of the statement of operations; and (iii) enhanced disclosures regarding noncontrolling interests. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009. SFAS 160 changed the presentation of the interests in Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. held by our general partner and the interests in DG Marine held by our joint venture partner in our consolidated financial statements. Amounts
for prior periods have been changed to be consistent with the presentation required by SFAS 160.
SFAS 161
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No.133” (SFAS 161). This Statement requires enhanced disclosures about our derivative and hedging activities. This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009, and have included the enhanced disclosures in Note 15.
EITF 07-4
In March 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (or EITF) of the FASB in issue EITF 07-4, “Application of the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, to Master Limited Partnerships.” Under this
consensus, the computation of earnings per unit will be affected by the incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) we are contractually obligated to distribute at the end of the current reporting period. In periods when earnings are in excess of cash distributions, we will reduce net income or loss for the current reporting period (for purposes of calculating earnings or loss per unit) by the amount of available cash that will be distributed to our limited partners and general partner for its
general partner interest and incentive distribution rights for the reporting period, and the remainder will be allocated to the limited partner and general partner in accordance with their ownership interests. When cash distributions exceed current-period earnings, net income or loss (for purposes of calculating earnings or loss per unit) will be reduced (or increased) by cash distributions, and the resulting excess of distributions over earnings will be allocated to the general partner and limited
partner based on their respective sharing of losses. EITF 07-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted EITF 07-4 on January 1, 2009 and have reflected the calculation of earnings per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 in accordance with its provisions. See Note 9.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FASB Staff Position No. 142-3
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (FSP 142-3). This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and other Intangible Assets.” The purpose of this FSP is to develop consistency between the useful life assigned to intangible assets and the cash flows from those assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. We adopted FSP 142-3 on January 1, 2009 and adoption had no effect on our consolidated financial statements.
SFAS 157
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), on January 1, 2008. On February 12, 2008 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP 157-2) which amends
SFAS 157 to delay the effective date for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for those that are recognized at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, to January 1, 2009. Non-recurring non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities for which we did not apply the provisions of SFAS 157 included those measured at fair value in goodwill impairment testing and asset retirement obligations initially measured at fair value. We adopted the deferred
provisions as of January 1, 2009. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The adoption of FSP 157-2 as described above had no material impact on us. See Note 17 for further information regarding fair-value measurements.
3. Consolidated Joint Venture – DG Marine
DG Marine is a joint venture we formed with TD Marine. TD Marine owns (indirectly) a 51% economic interest in DG Marine, and we own (directly and indirectly) a 49% economic interest. This joint venture gives us the capability to provide transportation services of petroleum products by barge and complements our other supply and
logistics operations.
We have entered into a subordinated loan agreement with DG Marine whereby we may (at our sole discretion) lend up to $25 million to DG Marine. The loan agreement provides for DG Marine to pay us interest on any loans at a rate to be determined which is expected to be the prime rate plus 4%. Those loans will mature on
January 31, 2012. Under that subordinated loan agreement, DG Marine is required to make monthly payments to us of principal and interest to the extent DG Marine has any available cash that otherwise would have been distributed to the owners of DG Marine in respect of their equity interest. DG Marine also has a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions that includes restrictions on DG Marine’s ability to make specified payments under our subordinated loan
agreement and distributions in respect of our equity interest. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were no amounts outstanding under the subordinated loan agreement. We have, however, provided a $7.5 million guaranty to the lenders under DG Marine’s credit facility. That guaranty will be terminated on May 31, 2009, if DG Marine maintains a leverage ratio under its credit facility of less than 4.50 to 1.00 for the month ending May 31, 2009.

We are recording amortization of our intangible assets based on the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to our future cash flows. Generally, the contribution to our cash flows of the customer and supplier relationships, licensing agreements and trade name intangible assets is expected to decline over time,
such that greater value is attributable to the periods shortly after the acquisition was made. The favorable lease and other intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis. Amortization expense on intangible assets was $8.2 million and $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Goodwill
The carrying amount of goodwill by business segment at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $302.0 million to refinery services and $23.1 million to supply and logistics.

Sandhill Group, LLC
We are accounting for our 50% ownership in Sandhill under the equity method of accounting. We received a distribution from Sandhill of $124,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Other Projects
We have also invested $4.6 million in the Faustina Project, a petroleum coke to ammonia project that is in the development stage. All of our investment may later be redeemed, with a return, or converted to equity after the project has obtained construction financing. The funds we have invested are being used for project
development activities, which include the negotiation of off-take agreements for the products and by-products of the plant to be constructed, securing permits and securing financing for the construction phase of the plant. We have recorded our investment in this debt security at cost and classified it as held-to-maturity, since we have the intent and ability to hold it until it is redeemed.
No events or changes in circumstances have occurred that indicate a significant adverse effect on the fair value of our investment at March 31, 2009; therefore, our investment is included in our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at cost.

Genesis Credit Facility
We have a $500 million credit facility, $100 million of which can be used for letters of credit, with a group of banks led by Fortis Capital Corp. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. Our borrowing base is recalculated quarterly and at the time of material acquisitions. Our borrowing base represents the amount that we can
borrow or utilize for letters of credit, and it is calculated based on our EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), as defined in accordance with the provisions of our credit facility.
The borrowing base may be increased to the extent of pro forma additional EBITDA, (as defined in the credit agreement), attributable to acquisitions or internal growth projects with approval of the lenders. Our borrowing base as of March 31, 2009 exceeds $500 million. At March 31, 2009, we had $335.0 million borrowed
under our credit facility and we had $3.4 million in letters of credit outstanding. The total amount available for borrowings at March 31, 2009 was $161.6 million under our credit facility. Due to the revolving nature of loans under our credit facility, additional borrowings and periodic repayments and re-borrowings may be made until the maturity date of November 15, 2011.
DG Marine Credit Facility
DG Marine has a $90 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by SunTrust Bank and BMO Capital Markets Financing, Inc. That facility, which matures on July 18, 2011, is secured by all of the equity interests issued by DG Marine and substantially all of DG Marine’s assets. Other than the pledge of our
equity interest in DG Marine, that facility is non-recourse to us and TD Marine. At March 31, 2009, our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet included $123.7 million of DG Marine’s assets in our total assets.
At March 31, 2009, DG Marine had $63.8 million outstanding under its credit facility. The total amount available for borrowings at March 31, 2009 was $26.2 million under this credit facility. Due to the revolving nature of loans under the DG Marine credit facility, additional borrowings and periodic repayments and re-borrowings
may be made until the maturity date.
In August 2008, DG Marine entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix the underlying LIBOR rate on $32.9 million of its borrowings under its credit facility through July 18, 2011. The fixed interest rates in the swap agreements range from the three-month interest rate of 3.23% in effect at March 31, 2009 to 4.68%
at July 18, 2011.
9. Partners’ Capital and Distributions
Partners’ Capital
Partner’s capital at March 31, 2009 consists of 39,456,774 common units, including 4,028,096 units owned by our general partner and its affiliates, representing a 98% aggregate ownership interest in the Partnership and its subsidiaries (after giving affect to the general partner interest), and a 2% general partner interest.
Our general partner owns all of our general partner interest, our incentive distribution rights, and all of the 0.01% general partner interest in Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. (which is reflected as a non-controlling interest in our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets) and operates our business.
Without obtaining unitholder approval, we may issue an unlimited number of additional limited partner interests and other equity securities, the proceeds from which could be used to provide additional funds for acquisitions or other needs.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Distributions
We will distribute 100% of our available cash (as defined by our partnership agreement) within 45 days after the end of each quarter to unitholders of record and to our general partner. Available cash consists generally of all of our cash receipts less cash disbursements adjusted for net changes to reserves.
Pursuant to our partnership agreement, our general partner receives incremental incentive cash distributions when unitholders’ cash distributions exceed certain target thresholds. The allocations of distributions between our common unitholders and our general partner (including its general partner interest and the incentive
distribution rights) are as follows:

Net Income Allocation to Partners
Net income is allocated to our partners in the Consolidated Statements of Partners’ Capital as follows:
|
· |
To our general partner – income in the amount of the incentive distributions paid in the period. |
|
· |
To our general partner – expense in the amount of the executive compensation expense to be borne by our general partner (See Note 12.). |
|
· |
To our limited partners and general partner – the remainder of net income in the ratio of 98% to the limited partners and 2% to our general partner. |
Net Income Per Common Unit
Our net income is first allocated to our general partner based on the amount of incentive distributions to be paid for the quarter. The adoption of EITF 07-4 effective January 1, 2009 resulted in a change in the calculation of net income per common unit by changing the amount of the incentive distributions to be considered in the calculation
from the distributions paid during the quarter to the distributions to be paid with respect to the quarter. As required by EITF 07-4, we have retrospectively applied the provisions of EITF 07-4 to the calculation of net income per common unit for the first quarter of 2008 in the table below. As a result, basic and diluted net income per common unit both decreased by $0.01 from amounts previously reported for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We then allocate to our general partner the expense related to the Class B Membership Awards to our executive officers, as our general partner will bear the cash cost of those awards. The remainder of our net income is then allocated 98% to our limited partners and 2% to our general partner. Basic net income per
limited partner unit is determined by dividing net income attributable to limited partners by the weighted average number of outstanding limited partner units during the period. Diluted net income per common unit is calculated in the same manner, but also considers the impact to common units for the potential dilution from phantom units outstanding. (See Note 12 for discussion of phantom units.)
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common unit.

10. Business Segment Information
Our operations consist of four operating segments: (1) Pipeline Transportation – interstate and intrastate crude oil and CO2; (2) Refinery Services – processing high sulfur (or “sour”) gas streams as part of refining operations to
remove the sulfur and selling the related by-product; (3) Supply and Logistics – terminaling, blending, storing, marketing, gathering and transporting by truck and barge crude oil and petroleum products, and (4) Industrial Gases – the sale of CO2 acquired under volumetric production payments to industrial customers and our investment in a syngas processing facility. All of our revenues are derived from, and all of our assets
are located in the United States.
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the fourth quarter of 2008, we revised the manner in which we internally evaluate our segment performance. As a result, we changed our definition of segment margin to include within segment margin all costs that are directly associated with the business segment. Segment margin now includes costs such as general
and administrative expenses that are directly incurred by the business segment. Segment margin also includes all payments received under direct financing leases. In order to improve comparability between periods, we exclude from segment margin the non-cash effects of our stock-based compensation plans which are impacted by changes in the market price for our common units. Segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2008 has been retrospectively revised to conform
to this segment presentation. We now define segment margin as revenues less cost of sales, operating expenses (excluding non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization), and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our equity in distributable cash generated by our joint ventures. Our segment margin definition also excludes the non-cash effects of our stock-based compensation plans, and includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases. Our
chief operating decision maker (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including segment margin, segment volumes where relevant and maintenance capital investment.

Transportation Services
We provide truck transportation services to Denbury to move its crude oil from the wellhead to our Mississippi pipeline. Denbury pays us a fee for that trucking service which varies with the distance we haul its crude oil. Those fees are reflected in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations as supply and logistics
revenues.
Denbury is the only shipper (other than us) on our Mississippi pipeline, and we earn tariffs for transporting its oil. We earned fees from Denbury for the transportation of its CO2 on our Free State pipeline. We also earned fees from Denbury under
the direct financing lease arrangements for the Olive and Brookhaven crude oil pipelines and the Brookhaven and NEJD CO2 pipelines and recorded pipeline transportation income from those arrangements.
We also provide pipeline monitoring services to Denbury. That revenue is included in pipeline revenues in our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Directors’ Fees
We paid Denbury for the services of each of four of Denbury’s officers who serve as directors of our general partner. The annual rate and rate for attendance at meetings are the same as the rates at which our other directors were paid.

Denbury charges us a transportation fee of $0.16 per Mcf (adjusted for inflation) to deliver CO2 for us to our customers. In the first three months of 2009, the inflation-adjusted transportation fee averaged $0.1978 per Mcf.
Operations, General and Administrative Services
We do not directly employ any persons to manage or operate our business. Those functions and personnel are provided by our general partner. We reimburse our general partner for all direct and indirect costs of those services, excluding any payments to our management team pursuant to their Class B Membership Interests. See
Note 12.
Amounts due to and from Related Parties
At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we owed Denbury $2.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for CO2 transportation charges and purchases of crude oil. Denbury owed us $1.6 million and $2.0 million for transportation services at March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively. We owed our general partner $0.8 million and $2.1 million for administrative services at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. At both March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Sandhill owed us $0.7 million for purchases of CO2.
DG Marine Joint Venture
Our partner in the DG Marine joint venture is TD Marine, a joint venture consisting of three members of the Davison family.
Financing
Our credit facility is non-recourse to our general partner, except to the extent of its pledge of its 0.01% general partner interest in Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. Our general partner’s principal assets are its general and limited partnership interests in us. Our credit agreement obligations are not guaranteed by Denbury
or any of its other subsidiaries.
We guarantee 50% of the obligation of Sandhill to a bank. At March 31, 2009, the total amount of Sandhill’s obligation to the bank was $3.0 million; therefore, our guarantee was for $1.5 million.
Approximately 14% of the outstanding common shares of Community Trust Bank are held by Davison family members. Community Trust Bank is a 17% participant in the DG Marine credit facility. James E. Davison, Jr., a member of our board of directors, also serves on the board of the holding company that owns Community Trust
Bank.

As of March 31, 2009, there was $1.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to these units. This unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average
period of one year.
Class B Membership Interests
As part of finalizing the compensation arrangements for our Senior Executives on December 31, 2008, our general partner awarded them an equity interest in our general partner as long-term incentive compensation. Those Class B Membership Interests compensate the holders thereof by providing rewards based on increased shares of the cash distributions
attributable to our incentive distribution rights (or IDRs) (See Note 9) to the extent we increase Cash Available Before Reserves, or CABR (defined below) (from which we pay distributions on our common units) above specified targets. CABR generally means Available Cash before Reserves, less Available Cash before Reserves generated from specific transactions with our general partner and its affiliates (including Denbury Resources Inc.) The Class B Membership Interests do not provide any Senior
Executive with a direct interest in any assets (including our IDRs) owned by our general partner.
Our general partner has agreed that it will not seek reimbursement (on behalf of itself or its affiliates) under our partnership agreement for the costs of these Senior Executive compensation arrangements to the extent relating to their ownership of Class B Membership Interests (including current cash distributions made by the general partner
out of its IDRs and payment of redemption amounts for those IDRs) and the deferred compensation amounts. Although our general partner will not seek reimbursement for the costs of the Class B Membership Interests and deferred compensation plan arrangements, we will record non-cash compensation expense. The Class B Membership Interests awarded to our senior executives are accounted for as liability awards under the provisions of SFAS 123(R). As such, the fair value of the
compensation cost we record for these awards is recomputed at each measurement date and the expense to be recorded is adjusted based on that fair value. Management’s estimates of the fair value of these awards are based on assumptions regarding a number of future events, including estimates of the Available Cash before Reserves we will generate each quarter through the final vesting date of December 31, 2012, estimates of the future amount of incentive distributions we will pay to our general
partner, and assumptions about appropriate discount rates. Additionally the determination of fair value is affected by the distribution yield of ten publicly-traded entities that are the general partners in publicly-traded master limited partnerships, a factor over which we have no control. Included within the assumptions used to prepare these estimates are projections of available cash and distributions to our common unitholders and general partner, including an assumed level of growth
and the effects of future new growth projects during the four-year vesting period. These assumptions were used to estimate the total amount that would be paid under the Class B Membership awards through the final vesting date and do not represent the contractual amounts payable under these awards at the reporting date.
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At March 31, 2009, we computed the fair value of the awards utilizing a discount rate of 15%, representing the risks inherent in the assumptions we used and the time until final vesting. Due to the limited number of participants in the Class B Membership awards, we assumed a forfeiture rate of zero. At March 31, 2009,
management estimates that the fair value of the Class B Membership Awards and the related deferred compensation awards granted to our Senior Executives on that date is approximately $19.9 million. Management’s estimates of fair value are made in order to record non-cash compensation expense over the vesting period, and do not necessarily represent the contractual amounts payable under these awards at March 31, 2009.
The fair value of these incentive awards will be recomputed each quarter through the final settlement of the awards. The fair value to be recorded by us as compensation expense in each quarterly period will be the excess of the recomputed estimated fair value over the previously recorded amounts, and will consider the vesting conditions
for the awards. This expense will be recorded on an accelerated basis to align with the requisite service period of the award. Changes in our assumptions will change the amount of compensation cost we record. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded expense of $2.1 million.

Cash paid for income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $917,000 and $62,000, respectively.
At March 31, 2009, we had incurred liabilities for fixed asset and other asset additions totaling $0.6 million that had not been paid at the end of the first quarter, and, therefore, are not included in the caption “Payments to acquire fixed assets” and “Other, net” under investing activities on the Unaudited Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows. At March 31, 2008, we had incurred $1.3 million of liabilities that had not been paid at that date and are not included in “Payments to acquire fixed assets” under investing activities.
14. Major Customers and Credit Risk
Due to the nature of our supply and logistics operations, a disproportionate percentage of our trade receivables consist of obligations of energy companies. This industry concentration has the potential to impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that our customers could be affected by similar
changes in economic, industry or other conditions. However, we believe that the credit risk posed by this industry concentration is offset by the creditworthiness of our customer base. Our portfolio of accounts receivable is comprised in large part of integrated and large independent energy companies with stable payment experience. The credit risk related to contracts which are traded on the NYMEX is limited due to the daily cash settlement procedures and other NYMEX requirements.
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have established various procedures to manage our credit exposure, including initial credit approvals, credit limits, collateral requirements and rights of offset. Letters of credit, prepayments and guarantees are also utilized to limit credit risk to ensure that our established credit criteria are met.
Shell Oil Company accounted for 13% and 18% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The majority of the revenues from this customer in both periods relate to our crude oil supply and logistics operations.
15. Derivatives
On January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS 161 which requires enhanced disclosures about (1) how and why we use derivative instruments, (2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133), and (3) how derivative instruments
and related hedged items affect our financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
Commodity Derivatives
We have exposure to commodity price changes related to our inventory and purchase commitments. We utilize derivative instruments (primarily futures and options contracts traded on the NYMEX) to hedge our exposure to commodity prices, primarily crude oil, fuel oil and petroleum products; however only a portion of these instruments
are designated as hedges under the provisions of SFAS 133. Our decision as to whether to designate derivative instruments as fair value hedges under SFAS 133 relates to our expectations of the length of time we expect to have the commodity price exposure and our expectations as to whether the derivative contract will qualify as highly effective under SFAS 133 in limiting our exposure to commodity price risk. Most of the petroleum products, including fuel oil, that we supply cannot be hedged with a
high degree of effectiveness with derivative contracts available on the NYMEX, therefore we do not designate derivative contracts utilized to limit our price risk related to these products as hedges for accounting purposes. Typically we utilize crude oil and natural gas futures and option contracts to limit our exposure to the effect of fluctuations in petroleum products prices on the future sale of our inventory or commitments to purchase petroleum products, and we recognize any changes in fair value
of the derivative contracts as increases or decreases in our cost of sales. The recognition of changes in fair value of the derivative contracts not designated as hedges under SFAS 133 can occur in reporting periods that do not coincide with the recognition of gain or loss on the actual transaction being hedged, therefore we will, on occasion, report gains or losses in one period that will be partially offset by gains or losses in a future period when the hedged transaction is completed.
We have designated certain crude oil futures contracts as hedges of crude oil inventory due to our expectation that these contracts will be highly effective in hedging our exposure to fluctuations in crude oil prices during the period that we expect to hold that inventory. We account for these derivative instruments as fair value
hedges under the provisions of SFAS 133. Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges are used to offset related changes in the fair value of the hedged crude oil inventory. Any hedge ineffectiveness in these fair value hedges and any amounts excluded from effectiveness testing are recorded as a gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations.
In accordance with NYMEX requirements, we fund the margin associated with our loss positions on commodity derivative contracts traded on the NYMEX. The amount of the margin is adjusted daily based on the fair value of the commodity contracts. The margin requirements are intended to mitigate a party’s exposure to
market volatility and the associated contracting party risk. We offset fair value amounts recorded for our hedge contracts against margin funded to the NYMEX in Other Current Assets in our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Interest Rate Derivatives
DG Marine utilizes swap contracts with financial institutions to hedge interest rates for $32.9 million of its outstanding debt through July 2011. The weighted average interest rate of these swap contracts is 4.04%. Because DG Marine expects these interest rate swap contracts to be highly effective in limiting its exposure
to fluctuations in market interest rates, we have designated these swap contracts as cash flow hedges under the provisions of SFAS 133. The effective portion of the derivative represents the change in fair value of the hedge that offsets the change in fair value of the hedged item. The effective portion of the gain or loss in the fair value of these swap contracts is reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI) and reclassified into future earnings contemporaneously
as interest expense associated with the underlying debt under the DG Marine credit facility is recorded. To the extent that the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps do not perfectly offset the change in the fair value of our exposure to interest rates, the ineffective portion of the hedge will be immediately recognized in interest expense in our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Represents the amount of loss recognized in income for derivatives related to the fair value hedge of inventory. The amount excludes the gain on the hedged inventory under the fair value hedge of $1.0 million. |
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the first quarter of 2009, DG Marine’s interest rate hedges fully offset the hedged risk; therefore, there was no ineffectiveness recorded for the hedges.
We expect to reclassify $0.8 million in unrealized losses from AOCI into interest expense during the next 12 months. Because a portion of these losses are based on market prices at the current period end, actual amounts to be reclassified to earnings will differ and could vary materially as a result of changes in market conditions. We
have no derivative contracts with credit contingent features.
16. Fair-Value Measurements
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2009. As required by SFAS 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant
to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Level 1
Included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are commodity derivative contracts are exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded option contracts. The fair value of these exchange-traded derivative contracts is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and is, therefore, included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 2
Included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are physical commodity contracts that meet the definition of a derivative but are not excluded from SFAS 133 under the normal purchase and normal sale scope exception. The fair value of the commodity contracts are measured with Level 1 inputs for similar but not identical
instruments and therefore must be included in Level 2 of the hierarchy.
Level 3
Included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are our interest rate swaps. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is based on indicative broker price quotations. These derivatives are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because broker price quotations used to measure fair value are indicative quotations rather
than quotations whereby the broker or dealer is ready and willing to transact. However, the fair value of these Level 3 derivatives is not based upon significant management assumptions or subjective inputs.

17. Contingencies
Guarantees
We guaranteed $1.2 million of residual value related to the leases of trailers from a lessor. We believe the likelihood that we would be required to perform or otherwise incur any significant losses associated with this guarantee is remote.
We guaranteed 50% of the obligations of Sandhill under a credit facility with a bank. At March 31, 2009, Sandhill owed $3.0 million; therefore our guaranty was $1.5 million. Sandhill makes principal payments for this obligation totaling $0.6 million per year.
We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations. Policies and procedures are in place to monitor compliance and to detect and address any releases of crude oil from our pipelines or other facilities; however, no assurance can be made that such environmental releases may not substantially affect our business.
Other Matters
Our facilities and operations may experience damage as a result of an accident or natural disaster. Such hazards can cause personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage and suspension of operations. We maintain insurance that we consider
adequate to cover our operations and properties, in amounts we consider reasonable. Our insurance does not cover every potential risk associated with operating our facilities, including the potential loss of significant revenues. The occurrence of a significant event that is not fully-insured could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
We are subject to lawsuits in the normal course of business, as well as examinations by tax and other regulatory authorities. We do not expect such matters presently pending to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are the following sections:
|
· |
Available Cash before Reserves |
|
· |
Liquidity and Capital Resources |
|
· |
Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements |
|
· |
New Accounting Pronouncements |
In the discussions that follow, we will focus on two measures that we use to manage the business and to review the results of our operations. Those two measures are segment margin and Available Cash before Reserves. During the fourth quarter of 2008, we revised the manner in which we internally evaluate our segment performance. As
a result, we changed our definition of segment margin to include within segment margin all costs that are directly associated with a business segment. Segment margin now includes costs such as general and administrative expenses that are directly incurred by a business segment. Segment margin also includes all payments received under direct financing leases. In order to improve comparability between periods, we exclude from segment margin the non-cash effects of our stock-based
compensation plans which are impacted by changes in the market price for our common units. Previous periods have been retrospectively revised to conform to this segment presentation. We now define segment margin as revenues less cost of sales, operating expenses (excluding non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization), and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our equity in distributable cash generated by our joint ventures. In addition, our segment margin
definition excludes the non-cash effects of our stock-based compensation plans, and includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases. Our chief operating decision maker (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including segment margin, segment volumes where relevant, and maintenance capital investment. A reconciliation of segment margin to income from before income taxes is included in our segment disclosures
in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.
Available Cash before Reserves (a non-GAAP measure) is net income as adjusted for specific items, the most significant of which are the addition of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation), the substitution of cash generated by our joint ventures in lieu of our equity income attributable to such joint ventures, the elimination of gains and
losses on asset sales (except those from the sale of surplus assets) and the subtraction of maintenance capital expenditures, which are expenditures that are necessary to sustain existing (but not to provide new sources of) cash flows. For additional information on Available Cash before Reserves and a reconciliation of this measure to cash flows from operations, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Non-GAAP Reconciliation”
below.
Overview
In the first quarter of 2009, we reported net income of $5.3 million, or $0.16 per common unit. Non-cash expense related to our senior executive compensation arrangements totaling $2.1 million reduced net income during the first quarter. See additional discussion of our senior executive compensation expense in “Results
of Operations – Other Costs, Interest and Income Taxes” below.
During the first quarter of 2009, we generated $21.3 million of Available Cash before Reserves, and we will distribute $14.7 million to holders of our common units and general partner for the first quarter. During the first quarter of 2009, cash provided by operating activities was $3.2 million.
Segment margin for most of our segments increased in the first quarter 2009 as compared to the first quarter of 2008. A significant portion of the increase was attributable to acquisitions during 2008, specifically the two drop down transactions with Denbury in May 2008 and the acquisition of our interest in DG Marine in July 2008.
On April 7, 2009, we announced that our distribution to our common unitholders relative to the first quarter of 2009 will be $0.3375 per unit (to be paid in May 2009). This distribution amount represents a 12.5% increase from our distribution of $0.30 per unit for the first quarter of 2008. During the first quarter
of 2009, we paid a distribution of $0.33 per unit related to the fourth quarter of 2008.
The current economic crisis has restricted the availability of credit and access to capital in our business environment. Despite efforts by U.S. Treasury and banking regulators to provide liquidity to the financial sector, capital markets continue to remain constrained. While we anticipate that the challenging economic
environment will continue for the foreseeable future, we believe that our current cash balances, future internally-generated funds and funds available under our credit facility will provide sufficient resources to meet our current working capital needs. The financial performance of our existing businesses, $177.0 million in cash and existing debt commitments and no need, other than opportunistically, to access the capital markets, may allow us to take advantage of acquisition and/or growth opportunities
that may develop.
Our ability to fund large new projects or make large acquisitions in the near term may be limited by the current conditions in the credit and equity markets which may impact our ability to issue new debt or equity financing. We may consider other arrangements to fund large growth projects and acquisitions such as private equity
and joint venture arrangements.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
Pipeline segment margin for the first quarter of 2009 increased $5.6 million as compared to the first quarter of 2008. The significant component of this change is an increase in revenues from CO2 financing leases and tariffs of $6.7 million and a related
increase in non-income payments from the same financing leases of $0.8 million. Reducing the impact of this increase were decreases in revenues from sales of pipeline loss allowance volumes of $1.7 million and revenues from crude oil tariffs and related sources of $0.2 million.
Tariff and direct financing lease revenues from our crude oil pipelines decreased $0.2 million primarily due to volume decreases on our Jay pipeline system totaling 5,183 barrels per day as compared to the first quarter of 2008. The decreased volumes were principally due to a producer connected to our Jay System shutting in production in
the first quarter of 2009. Volumes on the Mississippi and Texas systems increased in the 2009 first quarter slightly offsetting the impact on tariff revenue of the Jay System decline.
The decline in market prices for crude oil reduced pipeline loss allowance revenues. Average crude oil market prices decreased approximately $54 per barrel between the two quarters. Additionally, pipeline loss allowance volumes combined with net volumetric measurement gains were 10,700 barrels greater in the first quarter
of 2008 than the first quarter of 2009. The combination of these two declines resulted in a decrease of $1.7 million in pipeline loss allowance revenues.
Revenues and payments related to CO2 pipelines increased by a total of $7.5 million between the two quarters, with $5.2 million attributable to the NEJD pipeline and $2.3 million to the Free State pipeline. The average volume transported on the Free State
pipeline for the first quarter of 2009 was 171 MMcf per day, with the transportation fees and the minimum payments totaling $2.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
Refinery Services Segment
Segment margin from our refinery services for the first quarter of 2009 was $12.8 million. Segment margin from our refinery services for the same period in 2008 was $12.4 million. The increase in segment margin is primarily related to the decline in sales volumes of NaHS being substantially offset by increased sales
of caustic soda and by cost management and logistics optimization. The current macroeconomic conditions have negatively impacted the short-term demand for NaHS, primarily in mining and industrial activities. To help mitigate the financial effects of the decline in NaHS sales, we have been successful in selling caustic soda not needed in our operations and using our existing logistical assets to support such marketing to third parties. The key cost components of the provision of
the refinery sulfur removal service continued to be volatile in the first quarter of 2009. Market prices for caustic soda, as published by the Chemical Market Associates, Inc. (CMAI) ranged from $400 to $500 per dry short ton (DST) during the first quarter of 2008 compared to a range of $580 to $750 per DST in the first quarter of 2009. Our freight costs during the first quarter periods fluctuated with freight demand and fuel prices, both of which were significantly higher in the 2008
period. We believe that we were successful in mitigating some of the impact on segment margin of the volatility of these costs through our management of caustic acquisition and freight costs and by indexing our sales prices for NaHS to caustic market prices.
The table below reflects information about NaHS sales for first quarters of 2009 and 2008 volumes and sales prices.

NaHS sales prices per DST increased as we adjusted these prices throughout 2008 for fluctuations in the cost components of our services. As discussed above, market prices for caustic were volatile in both periods. Additionally, freight costs for delivering NaHS to our customers fluctuated in both periods in a manner
similar to the freight costs associated with our caustic supply as discussed above. We were generally successful in increasing our sales prices for NaHS to compensate for these cost fluctuations by indexing approximately 60% of our NaHS sales volumes to market prices for caustic soda and by adjusting sales prices for NaHS as fuel surcharges billed to us increased.
In the first quarter of 2009, the contribution to segment margin of the other activities of our refinery services segment was $2.1 million more than in the first quarter of 2008, primarily resulting from selling caustic soda not needed in our operations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 as Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
Fluctuations in the market price of crude oil and petroleum products have limited impact on our segment margin. Therefore, although our supply and logistics revenues and crude oil and product costs fluctuated significantly between the first quarters of 2009 and 2008 due to an almost $50 per barrel market price variance, we will
focus our discussion of our operating results on segment margin.
Segment margin increased $2.0 million comparatively between the first quarters of 2009 and 2008. The key factors affecting this comparison are as follows:
|
- |
Acquisition of inland marine transportation operations of Grifco in third quarter of 2008 (increased segment margin); |
|
- |
Reduction in opportunities for us to take advantage of purchasing and blending of products (reduced segment margin); and |
|
- |
Crude oil contango market conditions (increased segment margin). |
The inland marine transportation operations of Grifco Transportation, acquired by DG Marine in the third quarter of 2008, added $3.1 million to segment margin in the first quarter of 2009. These operations provided us with an additional capability to provide transportation services of petroleum products by barge.
In the first quarter of 2008, the high demand for gasoline by consumers led refiners to operate at increased production levels. Refineries are willing to sell the “heavy” end of the refined barrel, in the form of fuel oil or asphalt, at more attractive pricing (to us) in order to free up capacity to meet the gasoline demand. Due
to our logistics equipment, we were able to take advantage of these opportunities and acquire product at attractive prices for our petroleum products marketing and blending.. In the first quarter of 2009, demand for gasoline declined significantly. With refiners reducing their production rates volumes available to us to purchase were limited, resulting in a decrease in our petroleum products volumes of 16% and segment margin of $2.0 million.
During the first quarter of 2009, crude oil markets were in contango (oil prices for future deliveries are higher than for current deliveries), providing an opportunity for us to purchase and store crude oil as inventory for delivery in future months. The crude oil markets were not in contango in the first quarter of 2008. During
the first quarter of 2009, we placed 188,000 barrels of crude oil in our storage tanks and hedged this volume with futures contracts on the NYMEX. We are accounting for the effects of this inventory position and related derivative contracts as a fair value hedge under SFAS 133. The effect on segment margin for the amount excluded from effectiveness testing related to this fair value hedge was a $0.5 million gain in the first quarter of 2009.
Industrial Gases Segment
Our industrial gases segment includes the results of our CO2 sales to industrial customers and our share of the operating income of our 50% joint venture interests in T&P Syngas and Sandhill.
CO2 - Industrial Customers - We supply
CO2 to industrial customers under seven long-term CO2 sales contracts. The sales contracts contain provisions for adjustments for inflation to sales prices based on the Producer Price Index, with a minimum price.
Our industrial customers treat the CO2 and transport it to their customers. The primary industrial applications of CO2 by those customers include beverage carbonation and food chilling
and freezing. Based on historical data for 2004 through the first quarter of 2009, we can expect some seasonality in our sales of CO2. The dominant months for beverage carbonation and freezing food are from April to October, when warm weather increases demand for beverages and the approaching holidays increase demand for frozen foods.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
The decrease in margin from the industrial gases segment between the two quarterly periods was the result of a decrease in volumes sold, slightly offset by an increase in the average sales price of CO2 to our customers. During
the first quarter of 2009, volumes declined 4% as compared to the 2008 first quarter as customers reduced volumes while performing maintenance activities at their facilities. Variations in the volumes sold among contracts with different pricing terms resulted in the average sales price of the CO2 increasing $0.01 per Mcf, or 2%.
The inflation adjustment to the rate we pay Denbury to transport the CO2 to our customers resulted in greater CO2 transportation costs
in the first quarter of 2009 when compared to the 2008 quarter. The transportation rate increase between the two quarters was 4.4%.
Our share of the available cash before reserves generated by our equity investments in each quarterly period primarily resulted from our investment in T&P Syngas.

The increase in our common unit price since December 31, 2008 and the issuance of additional stock appreciation rights and phantom units resulted in equity-based compensation expense for the first quarter of 2009 of $0.4 million related to personnel included in general and administrative expenses. As compared to the first quarter
of 2008, this was an increase in expense of $0.9 million. |
|
- |
Reductions in travel costs, audit and tax professional services and bonus expense totaling $1.8 million offset some of the increased amounts. |
On December 31, 2008, our general partner and our senior executive management team entered into a compensation arrangement whereby our executive team may earn an interest in our incentive distribution rights owned by our general partner. While our general partner will bear the cash cost of the arrangement with our senior executives,
we record the expense of the arrangements with an offsetting non-cash capital contribution by our general partner. As discussed in Note 12 under Class B Membership Interests, we estimate the fair value of the awards to our senior executives at each reporting date and adjust the expense we have recorded based on that fair value. Based on the fair value estimate at March 31, 2009 of $19.9 million, we recorded expense for the first quarter of 2009 of $2.1 million. The fair value
of the awards is being recorded on an accelerated basis due to the vesting conditions contained in the awards, so as to match the expense recorded to the service period required for vesting.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the same quarter in 2008 primarily as a result of the amortization
expense recognized on intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization totaled $15.4 million and $16.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
We are amortizing our intangible assets over the period during which the intangible asset is expected to contribute to our future cash flows. As intangible assets such as customer relationships and trade names are generally more valuable in the first years after an acquisition, the amortization we record on these assets is greater
in the initial years after the acquisition. As such the amount of amortization we have recorded has declined since the intangible assets were acquired in 2007.

On May 30, 2008, we increased our debt to fund the drop-down transactions from Denbury. As a result, our average outstanding debt balance under our credit facility increased by $248.2 million over the average outstanding debt balance in the first quarter of 2008. Our average interest rate, however, was 4.1% lower during
the 2009 quarter, resulting in a decrease for the quarter of $0.1 million. DG Marine incurred interest expense in the first quarter of $1.4 million under its credit facility.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense is based on non-qualified income generated in the period. In the first quarter of 2009, non-qualified income increased in relation to the tax deductions
attributable to that income, resulting in an increase in income tax expense. As the majority of our operations are not taxable to us, income tax expense is not expected to be significant.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources/Sources of Cash
Credit and access to capital continues to be negatively impacted by current economic conditions in our business environment. We believe that the challenging economic environment will continue for the foreseeable future, however, we anticipate that our short-term working capital needs will be met through our current cash balances,
future internally-generated funds and funds available under our credit facility. Existing capacity in our credit facility and $15.4 million of cash on hand, as well as the absence of any need to access the capital markets may allow us to take advantage of acquisition and/or growth opportunities that may develop.
Long-term, we continue to pursue a growth strategy that requires significant capital. We expect our long-term capital resources to include equity and debt offerings (public and private) and other financing transactions, in addition to cash generated from our operations. Accordingly, we expect to access the capital markets (equity
and debt) from time to time to partially refinance our capital structure and to fund other needs including acquisitions and ongoing working capital needs. Our ability to satisfy future capital needs will depend on our ability to raise substantial amounts of additional capital, to utilize our current credit facility and to implement our growth strategy successfully. No assurance can be made that we will be able to raise the necessary funds on satisfactory terms. If we are unable to raise
the necessary funds, we may be required to defer our growth plans until such time as funds become available.
We continue to monitor the credit crisis and the economic outlook to determine the extent of the impact on our business environment. While some increase in commodity prices for copper has occurred during the first quarter of 2009, continuing weak demand in the United States for fuel has impacted refiners to whom we sell crude oil
and reduced the availability of petroleum products for our marketing activities due to reduced refining operating levels. Difficulties for companies in the mining, paper and pulp products and leather industries has reduced demand by producers of these goods for the NaHS used in their processes. We continue to adjust to the effects of these macro-economic factors in our operating levels and financial decisions.
At March 31, 2009, we had $335 million of loans and $3.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under our $500 million credit facility, resulting in $161.6 million of remaining credit, all of which was available under our borrowing base. DG Marine had $63.8 million of loans outstanding under its $90 million credit facility. As
of March 31, 2009, DG Marine had one remaining barge under construction and one push boat remaining to be purchased with an estimated total remaining cost of $4.1 million, which transactions were subsequently completed in April 2009 and funded under DG Marine’s credit facility.
Uses of Cash
Our cash requirements include funding day-to-day operations, maintenance and expansion capital projects, debt service, and distributions on our common units and other equity interests. We expect to use cash flows from operating activities to fund cash distributions and maintenance capital expenditures needed to sustain existing
operations. Future expansion capital – acquisitions or capital projects – will require funding through various financing arrangements, as more particularly described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Capital Resources/Sources of Cash” above.
Cash Flows from Operations. We utilize the cash flows we generate from our operations to fund our working capital needs. Excess funds that are generated are used to repay borrowings from our credit facilities and to fund capital expenditures. Our operating cash
flows can be impacted by changes in items of working capital, primarily variances in the timing of payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to capital expenditures.
Debt and Other Financing Activities. Our sources of cash are primarily from operations and our credit facilities. Our net borrowings under our credit facility and the DG Marine credit facility totaled $23.5 million. These borrowings related primarily
to the investment in fixed assets and the payment of liabilities accrued at year end such as annual bonus payments and property tax obligations. We paid distributions totaling $14.1 million to our limited partners and our general partner during the first quarter of 2009. See the details of distributions paid in “Distributions” below.
Investing. We utilized cash flows for capital expenditures. The most significant investing activities in the first quarter of 2009 were expenditures by DG Marine of $11.4 million for additional barges and related costs as well as other capital expenditures
as shown in the table below.
Capital Expenditures, and Business and Asset Acquisitions

During the remainder of 2009, we expect to expend approximately $7.6 million for maintenance capital projects in progress or planned. Those expenditures are expected to include approximately $0.9 million of improvements in our refinery services business, $1.5 million in our crude oil pipeline operations, including $0.8 million
for rehabilitation of a segment of the Mississippi System as a result of integrity management plan, or IMP testing, $3.5 million related to integration and upgrades of our information technology systems, and the remainder on projects related to our truck transportation operations, including $1.7 for replacement vehicles. In future years we expect to spend $4 million to $5 million per year on vehicle replacements as the average age of our fleet increases.
We will also complete construction of an expansion of our existing Jay System that will extend the pipeline to producers operating in southern Alabama. That expansion will consist of approximately 33 miles of pipeline and gathering connections to approximately 35 wells and will include storage capacity of 20,000 barrels. We
expect to spend a total of approximately $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 to complete this project, including the acquisitions of crude oil linefill.
DG Marine expended approximately $4.1 million in April of 2009 for the last barge that was under construction and one additional push boat. As of April 30, 2009, DG Marine had twenty barges and ten push boats. DG Marine’s capital expenditures are funded through its credit facility.
Expenditures for capital assets to grow the partnership distribution will depend on our access to debt and equity capital discussed above in “Capital Resources -- Sources of Cash.” We will look for opportunities to acquire assets from other parties that meet our
criteria for stable cash flows.
Distributions
We are required by our partnership agreement to distribute 100% of our available cash (as defined therein) within 45 days after the end of each quarter to unitholders of record and to our general partner. Available cash consists generally of all of our cash receipts less cash disbursements adjusted for net changes to reserves. We
have increased our distribution for each of the last six quarters, including the distribution to be paid for the first quarter of 2009, as shown in the table below (in thousands, except per unit amounts).

Non-GAAP Reconciliation
This quarterly report includes the financial measure of Available Cash before Reserves, which is a “non-GAAP” measure because it is not contemplated by or referenced in accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., also referred to as GAAP. The accompanying schedule provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP
financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Our non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management, lenders, analysts, and other market participants.
Available Cash before Reserves, also referred to as discretionary cash flow, is commonly used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) the financial performance of our assets without regard to
financing methods, capital structures, or historical cost basis; (2) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest cost and support our indebtedness; (3) our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing and capital structure; and (4) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Because Available Cash before Reserves excludes
some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Available Cash before Reserves data presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Available Cash before Reserves is net cash provided by operating activities.
Available Cash before Reserves is a liquidity measure used by our management to compare cash flows generated by us to the cash distribution paid to our limited partners and general partner. This is an important financial measure to our public unitholders since it is an indicator of our ability to provide a cash return on their
investment. Specifically, this financial measure aids investors in determining whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that can support a quarterly cash distribution to the partners. Lastly, Available Cash before Reserves (also referred to as distributable cash flow) is the quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly-traded partnerships.
The reconciliation of Available Cash before Reserves (a non-GAAP liquidity measure) to cash flow from operating activities (the GAAP measure) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows (in thousands):

|
· |
our inability to borrow or otherwise access funds needed for operations, expansions or capital expenditures as a result of existing debt agreements that contain restrictive financial covenants; |
|
· |
the effects of competition, in particular, by other pipeline systems; |
|
· |
hazards and operating risks that may not be covered fully by insurance; |
|
· |
the condition of the capital markets in the United States; |
|
· |
loss or bankruptcy of key customers; |
|
· |
the political and economic stability of the oil producing nations of the world; and |
|
· |
general economic conditions, including rates of inflation and interest rates. |
You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. When considering forward-looking statements, please review the risk factors described under “Risk Factors” discussed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Except as required

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the participation of our management, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report is accumulated and communicated to them and our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
There were no changes during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
