Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We make these forward-looking statements in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this Form 10-Q regarding the prospects of our industry, our anticipated financial performance, management’s plans and objectives for future operations, planned capital expenditures, business prospects, outcome of regulatory proceedings, market conditions and other matters, may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “foresee,” “project,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plans,” “forecasts,” “continue” or “could” or the negative of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks, and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, entitled “Risk Factors,” risk factors discussed in other reports and documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the following:
Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to enable us to pay our debt obligations and our current and expected dividends or to fund our other liquidity needs;
Any sustained reduction in demand for, or supply of, the petroleum products we gather, transport, process, market and store;
The effect of our debt level on our future financial and operating flexibility, including our ability to obtain additional capital on terms that are favorable to us;
Our ability to access the debt and equity markets, which will depend on general market conditions and the credit ratings for our debt obligations and equity;
The failure to realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisition of HFOTCO LLC, doing business as Houston Fuel Oil Terminal Company LLC (“HFOTCO”);
Our ability to pay the second payment related to our HFOTCO acquisition and the consequences of our failing to do so;
The loss of, or a material nonpayment or nonperformance by, any of our key customers;
The amount of cash distributions, capital requirements and performance of our investments and joint ventures;
The consequences of any divestitures of non-strategic operating assets or divestitures of interests in some of our operating assets through partnerships and/or joint ventures;
The amount of collateral required to be posted from time to time in our purchase, sale or derivative transactions;
The impact of operational and developmental hazards and unforeseen interruptions;
Our ability to obtain new sources of supply of petroleum products;
Competition from other midstream energy companies;
Our ability to comply with the covenants contained in our credit agreements, continuing covenant agreement and the indentures governing our notes, including requirements under our credit agreements and continuing covenant agreement to maintain certain financial ratios;
Our ability to renew or replace expiring storage, transportation and related contracts;
The overall forward markets for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids;
The possibility that the construction or acquisition of new assets may not result in the corresponding anticipated revenue increases;
Any future impairment of goodwill resulting from the loss of customers or business;
Changes in currency exchange rates;
Weather and other natural phenomena and climate conditions;
A cyber attack involving our information systems and related infrastructure, or that of our business associates;

Page 3


The risks and uncertainties of doing business outside of the U.S., including political and economic instability and changes in local governmental laws, regulations and policies;
Costs of, or changes in, laws and regulations and our failure to comply with new or existing laws or regulations, particularly with regard to taxes, safety and protection of the environment;
The possibility that our hedging activities may result in losses or may have a negative impact on our financial results; and
General economic, market and business conditions.
New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors, or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to any forward-looking statements. 
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Investors and others should note that we announce material company information using our investor relations website (www.semgroupcorp.com), SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. We use these channels, as well as social media, to communicate with our investors and the public about our company, our businesses and our results of operations. The information we post on social media could be deemed to be material information. Therefore, we encourage investors, the media and others interested in our company to review the information we post on the social media channels listed on our investor relations website.
As used in this Form 10-Q, and unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “the Company,” “SemGroup,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “ours,” and similar terms refer to SemGroup Corporation, its consolidated subsidiaries, and its predecessors. We sometimes refer to crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (natural gas liquids, or “NGLs,” include ethane, propane, normal butane, iso-butane, and natural gasoline), refined petroleum products, residual fuel oil and liquid asphalt cement, collectively, as “petroleum products” or “products.”

SEMGROUP CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

OVERVIEW
SemGroup Corporation is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “SemGroup,” “the Company” and similar language used in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements refer to SemGroup Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016, which is derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and its cash flows.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our controlled subsidiaries. All significant transactions between our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017.
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes normally included with financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform previously reported balances to the current presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC.
Our significant accounting policies are consistent with those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Prior year amounts have been recast from the amounts originally reported to correct for an immaterial error identified by management in the fourth quarter of 2016 related to an under capitalization of interest on certain capital projects. Previously reported interest expense has been decreased by $1.4 million, $0.9 million and $2.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2016, respectively, with a corresponding increase to net income before tax. Earnings per basic share was increased by $0.03, $0.02 and $0.05 per share for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2016, respectively.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”, to provide clarity and reduce diversity in practice in determining which changes to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018. The impact is not expected to be material.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost”, which requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from other components of net benefit cost. This ASU also provides explicit guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018. The impact is not expected to be material.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”, which removes Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amended guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit

OVERVIEW, Continued


with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We adopted this guidance in the third quarter of 2017 in conjunction with the impairment test of our Field Services business unit. See Note 4 for information related to the impairment of Field Services goodwill and intangible assets.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory”, which requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted in the year prior to the effective date. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018. The impact is not expected to be material.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)”, to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The update addresses eight different transaction types and clarifies how to classify each in the statement of cash flows, where previously there was unclear or no specific guidance. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted in the year prior to the effective date. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018. The impact is not expected to be material.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which introduces new guidance for estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments based on expected losses and the timing of the recognition of such losses. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted in the year prior to the effective date. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2020. The impact is not expected to be material.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting’’, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. We recorded adjustments of $2.1 million and $1.7 million to “accumulated deficit” and “additional paid-in capital”, respectively, upon adoption offset by changes to our income tax liabilities.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which amends the existing lease guidance to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by operating and finance leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. This ASU also provides clarifications surrounding the presentation of the effects of leases in the income statement and statement of cash flows. For public entities, this ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. The new guidance will be applied using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements, but are not yet able to quantify the impact. We continue to monitor FASB activity related to this ASU and have engaged with various peer groups to assess certain interpretive issues related to this ASU. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2019.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”, which requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in the statement of financial position. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. The new guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted and the impact was not material.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”, which requires that inventory within the scope of the guidance be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value rather than the lower of cost or market. The standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new guidance shall be

applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The impact was not material.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, as amended, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard permits using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We continue to evaluate the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements. We have completed the first phase of our implementation process which included a review of contracts and transaction types from each significant revenue stream across all of our business segments. In addition, we are currently evaluating the methods of adoption and analyzing the impact of the standard on our internal controls, accounting policies and financial statements and disclosures and are nearing completion of the overall project. We expect to use a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption.
Based on the current phase of our implementation process, we have identified certain potential areas of impact, such as non-cash consideration and “take-or-pay” arrangements.
We have certain contractual arrangements where we retain commodities as consideration for processing of customer product. These arrangements could be impacted by the non-cash consideration guidance under ASU 2014-09. Currently revenue related to non-cash consideration is recognized when we sell the commodity. Under ASU 2014-09, we could recognize revenue when the commodity is received, rather than when it is sold.
In addition, certain contractual arrangements include “take-or-pay” provisions. The fixed fees to which we have an unconditional right under these contracts could be subject to certain recognition changes and additional disclosure under ASU 2014-09. Under our current policies, revenues related to certain “take-or-pay” deficiency payments received from customers are deferred until the contractual right to make up volumetric deficiencies has expired. Under ASU 2014-09, these revenues are expected to be recognized when make up of the volumetric deficiencies is no longer considered probable. Deferred revenues related to these agreements at December 31, 2017, which will then be recognized through retained earnings at adoption, are not expected to be material.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, we will complete the remainder of our implementation process, which will include quantification of impact and final development of policies. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018.

2.     ACQUISITION

On July 17, 2017, we acquired Houston Fuel Oil Terminal Company (“HFOTCO”), one of the largest oil terminals in the U.S., for a purchase price paid, or to be paid, in two payments. This acquisition establishes our position in the premier energy market, the Houston Ship Channel, and provides a strategic platform to refinery-facing growth. The first payment consisted of $297 million in cash, (which is net of an estimated $4.2 million preliminary adjustment for working capital, net indebtedness and capital expenditures), funded from our revolving credit facility, issuance of approximately 12.4 million shares of our Class A common stock and the assumption of existing HFOTCO debt of approximately $766 million. The second payment requires us to pay the sellers $600 million in cash, if paid on December 31, 2018 (the “Second Payment”). If paid prior to December 31, 2018, the amount payable will be discounted by 5% per annum. If not paid by December 31, 2018, the amount payable increases to $680 million and is due by December 31, 2019, or earlier if requested by the sellers. The Second Payment is reflected on the balance sheet as the present value of cash flows based on a weighted average of the expected timing of payment under various scenarios and using an 8% discount rate.
We are in the process of finalizing the determination of the fair value of consideration exchanged and assets and liabilities acquired at the acquisition date to record the business combination. The acquisition date fair value of the

ACQUISITION, Continued


common shares issued is approximately $330 million, based on $26.68 per common share market price at issuance. The determination of the estimated fair values of the Second Payment, assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including HFOTCO net debt, is not yet complete and adjustments to preliminary amounts could be material. We expect to finalize the amounts in the fourth quarter of 2017.
As of September 30, 2017, we have recorded the preliminary purchase price allocation as follows (in thousands):

Finite-lived intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The non-compete agreement is effective for two years from the acquisition date and will be amortized straight-line over the two-year period. Customer relationships are being amortized over 20 years on an accelerated basis which matches the incremental cash flow models used to value the intangible assets and in consideration of a historical customer attrition rate of 5%. Customer contracts are being amortized over three years on an accelerated basis. Goodwill primarily relates to the location of the business and potential for future growth. Goodwill is amortizable over 15 years for income tax purposes. Acquired property, plant and equipment has been assigned useful lives consistent with our accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
From the acquisition date through September 30, 2017, HFOTCO contributed $34.7 million of revenue and $0.6 million of net income to our consolidated financial results. Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, include $19.1 million of acquisition related expenses. Included in the results of HFOTCO for the post acquisition period is a gain of $3.0 million related to the curtailment of HFOTCO’s defined benefit pension plan. Subsequent to the acquisition, SemGroup closed the plan to new members and stopped the accrual of future benefits under the plan to better align HFOTCO with SemGroup’s compensation strategy. Accordingly, the pension liability assumed at acquisition of $10.0 million was reduced to $7.0 million as of September 30, 2017.

These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of HFOTCO to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets had been applied from January 1, 2017. Additionally, incremental interest expense has been added related to the Second Payment assuming an 8% interest rate and cash consideration paid assuming a 5.5% interest rate. The income tax impact of these adjustments has been included in pro forma net income using our historical blended statutory rate of 37.7%. This unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what our actual results would have been if the acquisition had occurred on the date assumed, nor is it necessarily indicative of our future operating results. However, the pro forma adjustments reflected in this unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information are based on estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable.
The assets and credit of the acquired entities and their holding companies, all of which are included in the HFOTCO segment, are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations of other SemGroup entities. HFOTCO is not a subsidiary guarantor of SemGroup’s senior unsecured notes or revolving credit facility.

Our equity in earnings of White Cliffs for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, is less than 51% of the net income of White Cliffs for the same periods. This is due to certain general and administrative expenses we incur in managing the operations of White Cliffs that the other owners are not obligated to share. In addition, our equity in earnings is also impacted by the elimination of earnings on commodity sales with White Cliffs. Revenue related to inventory transactions with White Cliffs is deferred until a sale of the inventory has been made with a third party.
The members of White Cliffs are required to contribute capital to White Cliffs to fund various projects. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we contributed $1.4 million to White Cliffs related to capital projects.
Glass Mountain Pipeline, LLC
We own a 50% interest in Glass Mountain Pipeline, LLC (“Glass Mountain”), which we account for under the equity method. The excess of the recorded amount of our investment over the book value of our share of the underlying net assets represents equity method goodwill and capitalized interest at September 30, 2017. Capitalized interest is amortized as a reduction of earnings from equity method investments.

We own an 11.78% interest in the general partner of NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE: NGL) (“NGL Energy”) which is being accounted for under the equity method in accordance ASC 323-30-S99-1, as our ownership is in excess of the 3 to

5 percent interest which is generally considered to be more than minor. The general partner of NGL Energy is not a publicly traded company.
Our policy is to record our equity in earnings of NGL Energy on a one-quarter lag, as we do not expect information on the earnings of NGL Energy to always be available in time to consistently record the earnings in the quarter in which they are generated. Accordingly, the equity in earnings from NGL Energy, which is reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, relates to the earnings of NGL Energy for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

IMPAIRMENT

Based on current market conditions, management has lowered the long range forecast for our Field Services business unit, which provides truck transportation services as part of our Crude Transportation segment. The decrease in the long range forecast for Field Services is primarily due to the on-going challenging business environment. We viewed the decrease in the forecast as a triggering event that indicated a potential impairment and performed an interim impairment analysis on the business unit’s assets including goodwill and intangible assets.
We performed a recoverability test of our definite lived assets under ASC 360 whereby we compared the undiscounted cash flows of the asset group, which was determined to be the entire Field Services reporting unit and included goodwill, to the carrying value of the assets at September 30, 2017. This test indicated that the assets were not fully recoverable. Therefore, we estimated the fair value of the definite lived assets using an income approach, supplemented by a market approach to measure impairment. We also performed an interim impairment test of our goodwill associated with the Field Services reporting unit and determined the estimated fair value was less than the adjusted carrying value of the reporting unit resulting in impairment of goodwill. The cash flow models used to determine recoverability of our assets and to measure impairment expense involved using significant judgments and assumptions, which included the discount rate, anticipated revenue and volume growth rates, estimated operating expenses and capital expenditures, which were based on our operating and capital budgets as well as our strategic plans. We considered the market approach by comparing the revenue and earnings multiples implied by our income approach to those of comparable companies for reasonableness and for estimating the fair value of certain assets of our reporting unit.
At September 30, 2017, we have recorded a $26.6 million impairment of Field Services’ goodwill and a $12.1 million impairment of intangible assets, which are reflected in “loss on disposal or impairment, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

SEGMENTS
Our businesses are organized based on the nature and location of the services they provide. Certain summarized information related to our reportable segments is shown in the tables below. None of the operating segments have been aggregated. The results of HFOTCO subsequent to the acquisition date are shown as a separate segment below. Although Corporate and Other does not represent an operating segment, it is included in the tables below to reconcile segment information to that of the consolidated Company. Eliminations of transactions between segments are also included within Corporate and Other in the tables below.
The accounting policies of each segment are the same as the accounting policies of the consolidated Company. Transactions between segments are generally recorded based on prices negotiated between the segments. Certain general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level were allocated to the segments based on our allocation policies in effect at the time.
Our results by segment are presented in the tables below (in thousands):

(1) Relates primarily to exchange traded futures. Gain and loss positions on multiple contracts are settled net on a daily basis with the exchange.
(2) Commodity derivatives are subject to netting arrangements.
“Level 1” measurements are based on inputs consisting of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. These include commodity futures contracts that are traded on an exchange.
“Level 2” measurements are based on inputs consisting of market observable and corroborated prices for similar derivative contracts. Assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 include over the counter (“OTC”) traded physical fixed priced purchases and sales forward contracts.
“Level 3” measurements are based on inputs from a pricing service and/or internal valuation models incorporating observable and unobservable market data. These could include commodity derivatives, such as forwards and swaps for which there is not a highly liquid market and therefore are not included in Level 2 above and interest rate swaps for which certain unobservable inputs are used in the valuation.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified 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 measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value levels. At September 30, 2017, all of our physical fixed price forward purchases and sales contracts were being accounted for as normal purchases and normal sales.

There were no financial assets or liabilities recorded at fair value which were classified as Level 3 during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Commodity derivative contracts
Our consolidated results of operations and cash flows are impacted by changes in market prices for petroleum products. This exposure to commodity price risk is managed, in part, by entering into various commodity derivatives.
We seek to manage the price risk associated with our marketing operations by limiting our net open positions through (i) the concurrent purchase and sale of like quantities of petroleum products to create back-to-back transactions that are intended to lock in positive margins based on the timing, location or quality of the petroleum products purchased and delivered or (ii) derivative contracts. Our storage and transportation assets can also be used to mitigate time and location basis risks, respectively. All marketing activities are subject to our Comprehensive Risk Management Policy, a Delegation of Authority policy and their supporting policies and procedures, which establish limits in order to manage risk and mitigate financial exposure.
Our commodity derivatives can be comprised of swaps, futures contracts and forward contracts of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. These are defined as follows:
Swaps – OTC transactions where a floating price, basis or index is exchanged for a fixed (or a different floating) price, basis or index at a preset schedule in the future, according to an agreed-upon formula.
Futures contracts – Exchange traded contracts to buy or sell a commodity. These contracts are standardized by the exchange in terms of quality, quantity, delivery period and location for each commodity.
Forward contracts – OTC contracts to buy or sell a commodity at an agreed upon future date. The buyer and seller agree on specific terms (price, quantity, delivery period and location) and conditions at the inception of the contract.
The following table sets forth the notional quantities for commodity derivative instruments entered into (in thousands of barrels):

We have posted margin deposits as collateral with brokers who have the right of set off associated with these funds. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our margin deposit balances were in net asset positions of $4.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively. These margin account balances have not been offset against our net commodity derivative instrument (contract) positions. Had these margin deposits been netted against our net commodity derivative instrument (contract) positions as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we would have had asset positions of $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Interest rate swaps
In conjunction with the HFOTCO acquisition (Note 2), we acquired HFOTCO’s interest rate swaps. The swaps allow us to limit exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The swaps only apply to a portion of our outstanding debt and provide only partial mitigation of interest rate fluctuations. We have not designated the swaps as hedges, as such changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded through current period earnings as a component of interest expense. At September 30, 2017, we had interest rate swaps with notional values of $491.8 million. At September 30, 2017, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was $2.7 million which was reported within “other liabilities” in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized unrealized gains of $0.6 million related to interest rate swaps.
Concentrations of risk
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, one customer, primarily of our Crude Supply and Logistics segment, accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue with revenues of $89.9 million. No suppliers accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated costs of products sold.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, one customer, primarily of our Crude Supply and Logistics segment, accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue with revenues of $345.3 million. No suppliers accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated costs of products sold.
At September 30, 2017, one third-party customer primarily of our Crude Supply and Logistics segment accounted for approximately 19% of our consolidated accounts receivable.

8.
INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate was 66% and 164% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate was 63% and 135% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, is impacted by a discrete tax expense of $1.4 million related to the vesting of restricted stock during the period and a discrete tax benefit of $31.6 million related to a change of position to deduct foreign taxes in lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit for the tax years 2013 through 2016. The foreign tax credit for these years was previously offset by a full valuation allowance and accordingly, there is no net tax expense or balance sheet impact from their reversal. The discrete benefit arises from recognition of the increase in our net operating loss carryforward resulting from the deduction of foreign taxes. The decision to deduct foreign taxes or claim the foreign tax credit is made with respect to each tax period. The rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, is impacted by a non-controlling interest in Rose Rock Midstream, L.P. (“Rose Rock”) for which taxes are not provided. Significant items that impacted the effective tax rate for each period, as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%, include earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and foreign earnings taxed in foreign jurisdictions as well as in the

8.     INCOME TAXES

U.S., since they are disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These combined factors, and the magnitude of the permanent items impacting the tax rate relative to income from continuing operations before income taxes, result in rates that are not comparable between the periods.
We have a valuation allowance on a small portion of our state net operating loss carryovers with shorter carryover periods and our remaining foreign tax credit carryover generated in tax years prior to 2013. We have not released the valuation allowance on the foreign tax credits due to the foreign tax credit limitation and the relative subjectivity of forecasts of the relational magnitude of U.S. and foreign taxable income in future periods, as well as the shorter carryover period available for the credits. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when a determination is made that it is more likely than not that some, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on the weight of all available evidence. Evidence which is objectively verifiable carries a higher weight in the analysis. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryback and carryforward period available under the tax law. Sources of taxable income include future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future earnings and available tax planning strategies.
We have analyzed filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns and determined that no accruals related to uncertainty in tax positions are required. All income tax years of the Company ending after the emergence from bankruptcy remain open for examination in U.S. jurisdictions under general operation of the statute of limitations, including special provisions with regard to net operating loss carryovers. In foreign jurisdictions, all tax periods prior to the emergence from bankruptcy are closed. The statute of limitations has not been waived with respect to any foreign jurisdictions post emergence and tax periods are open for examination in accordance with the general statutes of each foreign jurisdiction. Currently, there are no examinations in progress for our federal and state jurisdictions. Canada Revenue Agency has initiated an income tax audit of SemCAMS ULC for the tax years 2013 through 2015. No other foreign jurisdictions are currently under audit.

Early extinguishment of senior unsecured notes due 2021
On March 15, 2017, we purchased $290 million of our outstanding $300 million, 7.50% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) through a tender offer. The purchase price included a premium and interest to the purchase date. On March 17, 2017, a notice of redemption was issued for the remaining $10 million of 2021 Notes which were not purchased through the tender offer pursuant to the redemption and satisfaction and discharge provisions of the indenture governing the 2021 Notes. These remaining 2021 Notes were redeemed on June 15, 2017, including a redemption premium and accrued unpaid interest to the redemption date. We recorded a loss on early extinguishment of $19.9 million for the above transactions, which included premiums totaling $15.9 million and the write off of $3.6 million of associated unamortized debt issuance costs.
Issuance of senior unsecured notes due 2025 and 2026
On March 15, 2017, we sold $325 million of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). The 2025 Notes were sold at 98.467% of par, a discount of $5.0 million. The discount is reported as a reduction to the face value of the 2025 Notes on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is being amortized over the life of the 2025 Notes using the interest method.
The net proceeds from the offering of $315.2 million, after the discount and $4.9 million of initial purchasers’ fees and offering expenses, together with cash on hand, were used to purchase and redeem the 2021 Notes.
On September 20, 2017, we sold $300 million of 7.25% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The 2026 Notes were sold at 98.453% of par, a discount of $4.6 million. The discount is reported as a reduction to the face value of the 2026 Notes on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is being amortized over the life of the 2026 Notes using the interest method.
The net proceeds from the offering of $290.6 million, after the discount and $4.8 million of initial purchasers’ fees and offering expenses, were used to repay amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility.
The 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) were each issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”) by and among the Company, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our existing subsidiaries that guarantee our revolving credit facility. Interest on the 2025 Notes accrues at a rate of 6.375% per annum and is payable in cash semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2017. The 2025 Notes will mature on March 15, 2025. Interest on the 2026 Notes accrues at a rate of 7.25% per annum and is payable in cash semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2018. The Notes will mature on March 15, 2026.
Prior to March 15, 2020, for the 2025 Notes, or prior to March 15, 2021, for the 2026 Notes, we may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at a price equal to the principal amount of the such notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date and a “make-whole premium.” Additionally, from time to time before March 15, 2020, for the 2025 Notes, or prior to September 15, 2020, for the 2026 Notes, we may choose to redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of such notes at a redemption price equal to 106.375% of the face amount thereof, for the 2025 Notes, or 107.25%, for the 2026 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds that we raise in one or more equity offerings. On or after March 15, 2020, for the 2025 Notes, or on or after March 15, 2021, for the 2026 Notes, we may redeem such notes, in whole or in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on March 15 of the years indicated below:

Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event, as defined in the Indenture, each holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all of such holder’s Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date.
The Indenture contains customary covenants restricting our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; (ii) pay dividends and make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments; (iii) create certain liens; (iv) sell assets; (v) enter into transactions with affiliates; (vi) enter into sale and lease-back transactions; (vii) merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and (viii) designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries under the Indenture. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, including certain provisions permitting us, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to transfer assets to certain of our unrestricted subsidiaries.
The Indenture also contains customary events of default. Upon an event of default under the Indenture, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of such notes then outstanding may declare all amounts owing under such notes to be due and payable.
Registration rights agreements
In connection with the closing of the offerings of the Notes, the Company and the Guarantors entered into registration rights agreements (the “Registration Rights Agreements”). Under the Registration Rights Agreements, the Company and the Guarantors have agreed to file registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission so that holders of the Notes can exchange the Notes and the related guarantees for registered notes and guarantees that have substantially identical terms as the Notes and related guarantees, within 365 days after the original issuance. In certain circumstances, the Company and the Guarantors may be required to file shelf registration statements to cover resales of the Notes. We are required to pay additional interest on the Notes if we fail to comply with our obligations to register the Notes and related guarantees, within the specified time periods.
Pledges and guarantees
Our senior unsecured notes are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries. See Note 15 for additional information.
Our $1.0 billion corporate revolving credit facility is guaranteed by all of SemGroup’s material domestic subsidiaries, with the exception of Maurepas Pipeline LLC and HFOTCO, and secured by a lien on substantially all of the property and assets of SemGroup Corporation and the other loan parties, subject to customary exceptions.
The HFOTCO term loan B, HFOTCO tax exempt notes payable and HFOTCO $75 million revolving credit facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of HFOTCO and its immediate parent, Buffalo Gulf Coast Terminals LLC. The HFOTCO tax exempt notes payable have a priority position over the HFOTCO term loan B and HFOTCO revolving credit facility.

Capitalized interest
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we capitalized interest of $15.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively. As described in Note 1, capitalized interest for the prior year has been recast.
Fair value
We estimate the fair value of our consolidated long-term debt, including current maturities, to be approximately $3.0 billion at September 30, 2017, based on unadjusted, transacted market prices near the measurement date, which are categorized as Level 2 measurements.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental
We may, from time to time, experience leaks of petroleum products from our facilities and, as a result of which, we may incur remediation obligations or property damage claims. In addition, we are subject to numerous environmental regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in the assessment of fines or penalties by regulatory authorities.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (the “KDHE”) initiated discussions during our bankruptcy proceeding regarding six of our sites in Kansas (five owned by Crude Transportation and one owned by SemGas) that KDHE believed, based on their historical use, may have had soil or groundwater contamination in excess of state standards. KDHE sought our agreement to undertake assessments of these sites to determine whether they are contaminated. We reached an agreement with KDHE on this matter and entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order with KDHE to conduct environmental assessments on the sites and to pay KDHE’s costs associated with their oversight of this matter. We have conducted Phase II investigations at all sites. Four sites are in various stages of follow up investigation, remediation, monitoring, or closure under KDHE oversight.  The environmental work at these sites is being completed under consent orders between Rose Rock Midstream Crude, L.P. and the KDHE. Two of the remaining sites have limited impacts to shallow soil and groundwater and the groundwater is currently being monitored on a semi-annual basis until such time that closure can be granted by the KDHE.  No active remediation is anticipated for these two sites.  The final two sites have required additional investigation and soil and groundwater remediation may be necessary to achieve KDHE closure. We do not anticipate any penalties or fines for these historical sites.
Other matters
We are party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of our management, the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions and complaints, after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage and other arrangements, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently uncertain, and estimates of our consolidated liabilities may change materially as circumstances develop.
Asset retirement obligations
We will be required to incur significant removal and restoration costs when we retire our natural gas gathering and processing facilities in Canada. At September 30, 2017, we have an asset retirement obligation liability of $21.8 million, which is included within other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. This amount was

Page 24

SEMGROUP CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
10.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued


calculated using the $131.5 million cost we estimate we would incur to retire these facilities, discounted based on our risk-adjusted cost of borrowing and the estimated timing of remediation.
The calculation of the liability for an asset retirement obligation requires the use of significant estimates, including those related to the length of time before the assets will be retired, cost inflation over the assumed life of the assets, actual remediation activities to be required, and the rate at which such obligations should be discounted. Future changes in these estimates could result in material changes in the value of the recorded liability. In addition, future changes in laws or regulations could require us to record additional asset retirement obligations.
Our other segments may also be subject to removal and restoration costs upon retirement of their facilities. However, we are unable to predict when, or if, our pipelines, storage tanks and other facilities would become completely obsolete and require decommissioning. Accordingly, we have not recorded a liability or corresponding asset, as both the amount and timing of such potential future costs are indeterminable.
Purchase and sale commitments
We routinely enter into agreements to purchase and sell petroleum products at specified future dates. We account for derivatives at fair value with the exception of commitments which have been designated as normal purchases and sales for which we do not record assets or liabilities related to these agreements until the product is purchased or sold. At September 30, 2017, such commitments included the following (in thousands):

Certain of the commitments shown in the table above relate to agreements to purchase product from a counterparty and to sell a similar amount of product (in a different location) to the same counterparty. Many of the commitments shown in the table above are cancellable by either party, as long as notice is given within the time frame specified in the agreement (generally 30 to 120 days).
Our SemGas segment has a take-or-pay contractual obligation related to the fractionation of natural gas liquids through June 2023. The approximate amount of future obligation is as follows (in thousands):

SemGas also enters into contracts under which we are responsible for marketing the majority of the gas and natural gas liquids produced by the counterparties to the agreements. The majority of SemGas’ revenues were generated from such contracts.
Our Crude Supply and Logistics segment has a take-or-pay obligation with our equity method investee, White Cliffs, for approximately 5,000 barrels per day of space on White Cliffs’ pipeline. The agreement became effective in October 2015 and has a term of five years. Annual payments to White Cliffs under the agreement are expected to be $9.4 million. In addition, we have a throughput commitment for 5,000 barrels per day on a third-party pipeline. The agreement, effective June 1, 2017, has a seven year term. The approximate amount of annual payments is as follows (in thousands):

There were no significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Equity issuances
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, 39,545 shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan were issued and 132,031 shares related to our equity based compensation awards vested. See Note 2 for shares issued as consideration to acquire HFOTCO.
Equity-based compensation
At September 30, 2017, there were 1,117,138 unvested shares that have been granted under our director and employee compensation programs. The par value of these shares is not reflected in common stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as these shares have not yet vested. For certain of the awards, the number of shares that will vest is contingent upon our achievement of certain specified targets. If we meet the specified maximum targets, approximately 521,000 additional shares could vest.
The holders of certain restricted stock awards are entitled to equivalent dividends (“UDs”) to be received upon vesting of the related restricted stock awards and will be settled in cash. At September 30, 2017, the value of the UDs to be settled in cash related to unvested restricted stock awards was approximately $1.7 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we granted 377,766 restricted stock awards with a weighted average grant date fair value of $35.22 per award.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is calculated based on income from continuing and discontinued operations, less any income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Income attributable to noncontrolling interests represented third-party limited partner unitholders’ interests in the earnings of our consolidated subsidiary, Rose Rock, prior to completion of our purchase of the noncontrolling interests in the third quarter of 2016 (the “Merger”).  Rose Rock allocated net income to

Page 27

SEMGROUP CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
12.
EARNINGS PER SHARE, Continued

its limited partners based on the distributions pertaining to the current period’s available cash as defined by Rose Rock’s partnership agreement. After adjusting for the appropriate period’s distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, were allocated to Rose Rock’s general partner, limited partners and participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of Rose Rock’s partnership agreement and as further prescribed under the two-class method. Incentive distribution rights did not participate in undistributed earnings. Subsequent to the Merger, there is no longer a noncontrolling interest.
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of unvested equity compensation awards.
The following summarizes the calculation of basic earnings per share for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with NGL Energy and its subsidiaries primarily relate to crude oil marketing, leased storage and transportation services, including buy/sell transactions. Transactions with White Cliffs primarily relate to leased storage, purchases and sales of crude oil, transportation fees for shipments on the White Cliffs Pipeline, and management fees. Transactions with Glass Mountain primarily relate to transportation fees for shipments on the Glass Mountain Pipeline, fees for support and administrative services associated with pipeline operations and purchases of crude oil.
In accordance with ASC 845-10-15, the buy/sell transactions with NGL Energy and White Cliffs were reported as revenue on a net basis in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) because the purchases of inventory and subsequent sales of the inventory were with the same counterparty and entered into in contemplation of one another.
During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we generated the following transactions with related parties (in thousands):

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our senior unsecured notes are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries as follows: Rose Rock Finance Corporation, Rose Rock Midstream Operating, LLC, Rose Rock Midstream Energy GP, LLC, Rose Rock Midstream Crude, L.P., Rose Rock Midstream Field Services, LLC, SemGas, L.P., SemMaterials, L.P., SemGroup Europe Holding, L.L.C., SemOperating G.P., L.L.C., SemMexico, L.L.C., SemDevelopment, L.L.C., Mid-America Midstream Gas Services, L.L.C., SemCrude Pipeline, L.L.C., Wattenberg Holding, LLC and Glass Mountain Holding, LLC (collectively, the “Guarantors”).
Each of the Guarantors is 100% owned by SemGroup Corporation (the “Parent”). Such guarantees of the Notes are full and unconditional and constitute the joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. There are no significant restrictions upon the ability of the Parent or any of the Guarantors to obtain funds from its respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan. Distributions of cash flows from HFOTCO, a non-guarantor, are restricted by the existing indebtedness of HFOTCO. None of the assets of the Guarantors represent restricted net assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.
Subsequent to the Merger as described in Note 12, SemGroup assumed the obligations of Rose Rock under Rose Rock’s senior unsecured notes. Supplemental indentures were entered into with respect to the previously existing SemGroup senior unsecured notes and the senior unsecured notes assumed from Rose Rock to include the Guarantors as listed

above to the extent the entity was not already a Guarantor. Prior period comparative information has been recast to reflect the addition of Rose Rock subsidiaries as Guarantors.
Unaudited condensed consolidating financial statements for the Parent, the Guarantors and non-guarantors as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, are presented on an equity method basis in the tables below (in thousands).
Intercompany receivable and payable balances, including notes receivable and payable, are capital transactions primarily to facilitate the capital needs of our subsidiaries. As such, subsidiary intercompany balances have been reported as a reduction to equity on the condensed consolidating Guarantor balance sheets. The Parent’s net intercompany balance, including notes receivable, and investments in subsidiaries have been reported in equity method investments on the condensed consolidating Guarantor balance sheets. Intercompany transactions, such as daily cash management activities, have been reported as financing activities within the condensed consolidating Guarantor statements of cash flows. These balances are eliminated through consolidating adjustments below.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In the fourth quarter of 2017, we have made considerable progress on our strategic initiatives to finance the deferred payment associated with our HFOTCO acquisition and to enhance our balance sheet.  Those initiatives may include, but are not limited to, multiple asset sales.  At September 30, 2017, we had not met the accounting criteria for those assets and liabilities to be presented as Held for Sale.  If we progress further toward potential divestitures, gains or losses may be recorded to the extent the fair value of the assets divested are more or less than the carrying value of those assets, and those gains or losses may be significant. 
On November 8, 2017, we reached an agreement to sell our 50% interest in Glass Mountain for $300 million and expect to record a gain on disposal.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC.

Overview of Business
Our business is to provide gathering, transportation, storage, distribution, marketing and other midstream services primarily to producers, refiners of petroleum products and other market participants located in the Gulf Coast, Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States of America (the “U.S.”) and Canada. We, or our significant equity method investees, have an asset base consisting of pipelines, gathering systems, storage facilities, terminals, processing plants and other distribution assets located between North American production and supply areas, including the Gulf Coast, Midwest, Rocky Mountain and Western Canadian regions. We also maintain and operate storage, terminal and marine facilities at Milford Haven in the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”) that enable customers to supply petroleum products to markets in the Atlantic Basin. We also operate a network of liquid asphalt cement terminals throughout Mexico. At September 30, 2017, our operations are conducted directly and indirectly through our primary business segments – Crude Transportation, Crude Facilities, Crude Supply and Logistics, HFOTCO, SemGas®, SemCAMS, SemLogistics and SemMexico.
Our Assets
At September 30, 2017, our segments owned the following:
Crude Transportation operates crude oil pipelines and truck transportation businesses in the U.S. Crude Transportation’s assets include:
a 450-mile crude oil gathering and transportation pipeline system with over 720,000 barrels of associated storage capacity in Kansas and northern Oklahoma that is connected to several third-party pipelines and refineries;
the Wattenberg Oil Trunkline (“WOT”), a 75-mile, 12-inch diameter crude oil gathering pipeline system that transports crude oil from production facilities in the DJ Basin to the pipeline owned by White Cliffs Pipeline, L.L.C. (“White Cliffs”). The WOT also has 360,000 barrels of operational storage;
a crude oil trucking fleet of approximately 245 transport trucks and approximately 245 trailers;
Maurepas Pipeline, consisting of three pipelines, with an approximate total of 106 miles, that service refineries in the Gulf Coast region (the “Maurepas Pipeline”);
a 51% ownership interest in White Cliffs, which owns a 527-mile pipeline, consisting of two parallel 12-inch common carrier, crude oil pipelines, that transports crude oil from Platteville, Colorado to Cushing, Oklahoma (the “White Cliffs Pipeline”) that we operate; and
a 50% ownership interest in Glass Mountain Pipeline, LLC (“Glass Mountain”), which owns a 215-mile crude oil pipeline in western and north central Oklahoma (the “Glass Mountain Pipeline”) and 1.5 million barrels of associated storage, that we operate.

Page 39


Crude Facilities operates crude oil storage and terminal businesses in the U.S. Crude Facilities’ assets include:
approximately 7.6 million barrels of crude oil storage capacity in Cushing, Oklahoma, of which 6.25 million barrels are leased to customers and 1.35 million barrels are used for crude oil operations and marketing activities; and
a 30-lane crude oil truck unloading facility with 350,000 barrels of associated storage capacity in Platteville, Colorado which connects to the origination point of the White Cliffs Pipeline.
Crude Supply and Logistics operates a crude oil marketing business which utilizes our Crude Transportation and Crude Facilities assets for marketing purposes. Additionally, Crude Supply and Logistics’ assets include approximately 61,800 barrels of crude oil storage capacity in Trenton and Stanley, North Dakota.
HFOTCO, acquired in July 2017, operates a large terminal facility located on the U.S. Gulf Coast. HFOTCO’s assets include:
approximately 16.8 million barrels of product storage with crude pipeline connectivity to the local refining complex, deep water marine access and inbound crude receipt pipeline connectivity, as well as rail and truck loading and unloading capabilities; and
330 acres on the Houston Ship Channel.
SemGas, which provides natural gas gathering and processing services in the U.S. SemGas owns and operates gathering systems and four processing plants with 595 million cubic feet per day of capacity.
SemCAMS, which provides natural gas gathering and processing services in Alberta, Canada. SemCAMS owns working interests in, and operates, four natural gas processing plants with a combined operating capacity of 695 million cubic feet per day.
SemLogistics, which provides refined product and crude oil storage services in the U.K. SemLogistics owns a facility in Wales that has multi-product storage capacity of approximately 8.7 million barrels.
SemMexico, which purchases, produces, stores, and distributes liquid asphalt cement products in Mexico. SemMexico operates an in-country network of 12 asphalt cement terminals and modification facilities and two marine terminals with a third under construction.
Additionally, we hold an 11.78% ownership interest in the general partner of NGL Energy Partners LP (“NGL Energy”) (NYSE: NGL) which is reported within Corporate and Other.

Recent Developments
In the fourth quarter of 2017, we have made considerable progress on our strategic initiatives to finance the deferred payment associated with our HFOTCO acquisition and to enhance our balance sheet.  Those initiatives may include, but are not limited to, multiple asset sales.  At September 30, 2017, we had not met the accounting criteria for those assets and liabilities to be presented as Held for Sale.  If we progress further toward potential divestitures, gains or losses may be recorded to the extent the fair value of the assets divested are more or less than the carrying value of those assets, and those gains or losses may be significant. 
On November 8, 2017, we reached an agreement to sell our 50% interest in Glass Mountain for $300 million and expect to record a gain on disposal.

Revenue and Expenses
Revenue and expenses are analyzed by operating segment below.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expenses of each corporate department are allocated to the segments based on criteria such as actual usage, headcount and estimates of effort or benefit. The method for allocating cost is based on the type of service being provided. For example, internal audit costs are based on an estimate of effort attributable to a segment. In contrast, accounting department costs are allocated based on the number of transactions processed for a given segment compared to the total number processed. The overall increase in general and administrative expense compared with prior periods is primarily due to HFOTCO acquisition related costs of $13.6 million and $19.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased in the three months ended September 30, 2017, to $32.7 million from $18.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to debt issued during the three months ended September 30, 2017, including increased borrowings on the revolving credit facility and debt assumed in the HFOTCO acquisition. Interest expense increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, to $60.1 million from $54.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to debt issued during the three months ended September 30, 2017, as discussed above, partially offset by higher capitalized interest amounts as compared to the prior year, primarily related to the Maurepas Pipeline.

Page 41


Loss on early extinguishment of debt
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we purchased $290 million of our outstanding $300 million senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) through a tender offer. The price included a premium and interest to the purchase date. A notice of redemption was issued for the remaining $10 million of 2021 Notes, which were not redeemed through the tender offer pursuant to the redemption and satisfaction and discharge provisions of the indenture governing the 2021 Notes. The redemption price includes a redemption premium and interest to the redemption date. As a result, we recognized a loss of $19.9 million on the early extinguishment of the 2021 Notes, which included premiums of $15.9 million and the write off of $3.6 million of associated unamortized debt issuance costs.
Loss on sale or impairment of equity method investment
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized a $30.6 million net loss on sale or impairment of equity method investment from the sale of limited partner units of NGL Energy.
Income tax expense (benefit)
We reported an income tax benefit of $33.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to a benefit of $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The effective tax rate was 66% and 164% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 63% and 135% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, is impacted by a discrete tax expense of $1.4 million related to the vesting of restricted stock during the period and a discrete tax benefit of $31.6 million related to a change of position to deduct foreign taxes in lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit for the tax years 2013 through 2016. The foreign tax credit for these years was previously offset by a full valuation allowance and, accordingly, there is no net tax expense or balance sheet impact from their reversal. The discrete benefit arises from recognition of the increase in our net operating loss carryforward resulting from the deduction of foreign taxes. The decision to deduct foreign taxes or claim the foreign tax credit is made with respect to each tax period. The rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, is impacted by a non-controlling interest in Rose Rock Midstream, L.P. (“Rose Rock”) for which taxes are not provided. Significant items that impacted the effective tax rate for each period, as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%, include earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and foreign earnings taxed in foreign jurisdictions as well as in the U.S., since they are disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These combined factors, and the magnitude of the permanent items impacting the tax rate relative to income from continuing operations before income taxes, result in rates that are not comparable between the periods.

Three months ended September 30, 2017 versus three months ended September 30, 2016
Revenue
Pipeline transportation revenue increased to $12.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $6.8

Page 42


million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily the result of $5.8 million related to the start-up of the Maurepas Pipeline and a $1.0 million increase on the WOT, partially offset by a $0.9 million reduction related to the Tampa pipeline that was sold in the first quarter of 2017 and a $0.2 million reduction to intersegment transportation attributed to our Crude Supply and Logistics segment.
Truck transportation revenue decreased to $15.3 million in three months ended September 30, 2017, from $16.1 million for the same period in 2016 as a result of lower average rates.
Operating expense
Operating expense increased slightly to $17.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $17.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was the result of higher field expenses and outside services, partially offset by decreases in compensation and insurance and taxes.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense increased to $2.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $1.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily a result of higher overhead allocations largely due to certain Rose Rock corporate costs being allocated to the former Rose Rock segments subsequent to SemGroup’s acquisition of the outstanding non-controlling interest in Rose Rock in September of 2016. These costs were included in Corporate and Other in the prior year. Insurance and taxes and other expense also increased as compared to prior period.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $11.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $6.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily a result of the Maurepas Pipeline coming on line during the third quarter of 2017.
Loss on disposal or impairment, net
Crude Transportation recorded a loss on impairments of $40.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, resulting from a $38.9 million impairment in our trucking division primarily related to goodwill and intangible customer relationships and a $1.3 million impairment to a 5.3 mile section of our Oklahoma pipeline system. See Note 4 of the accompanying financial statements for additional information related to the impairment of goodwill and customer relationship intangible assets. Crude Transportation recorded a loss on disposal of long-lived assets of $1.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to a write down of vehicles in our trucking division.
Earnings from equity method investments
Crude Transportation’s earnings from equity method investments increased in the three months ended September 30, 2017, to $17.4 million from $15.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, due to an increase in volume.

Nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus nine months ended September 30, 2016
Revenue
Pipeline transportation revenue increased to $25.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $21.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase included a $5.8 million increase related to the start-up of the Maurepas Pipeline and a $2.4 million increase on the WOT. These increases were partially offset with a $2.8 million decrease related to the Tampa pipeline that was sold early in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a $1.7 million reduction in intersegment activity and a $0.2 million reduction to other income.
Truck transportation revenue decreased to $44.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $46.6 million in the same period in 2016, as a result of lower average rates.
Operating expense
Operating expense decreased to $49.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $52.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was the result of lower compensation, insurance and taxes and other expenses, partially offset by increases in outside services and field expense.

General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense increased to $9.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $3.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily a result of higher overhead allocations largely due to certain Rose Rock corporate costs being allocated to the former Rose Rock segments subsequent to SemGroup’s acquisition of the outstanding non-controlling interest in Rose Rock in September of 2016. These costs were included in Corporate and Other in the prior year. Increases were also seen in insurance and taxes, legal and other expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $23.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $18.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily a result of the Maurepas Pipeline coming on line during the third quarter of 2017.
Loss on disposal or impairment, net
Crude Transportation recorded a loss on disposal or impairment of $42.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, resulting primarily from a $38.9 million impairment in our trucking division primarily related to goodwill and intangible customer relationships, a $1.3 million impairment to a 5.3 mile section of our Oklahoma pipeline system and a $4.8 million write down of right-of-ways, partially offset with a gain from the Tampa pipeline sale. The write down of right-of-ways included $4.5 million related to the correction of immaterial prior period errors. See Note 4 of the accompanying financial statements for additional information related to the impairment of goodwill and customer relationship intangible assets. Crude Transportation recorded a loss on disposal of long-lived assets of $2.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily the result of an abandonment of a 13-mile section of the Kansas and Oklahoma pipeline system.
Earnings from equity method investments
Crude Transportation’s earnings from equity method investments decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, to $52.2 million from $53.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due to a reduction in volume.

Three months ended September 30, 2017 versus three months ended September 30, 2016
Revenue
Revenue decreased to $11.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $12.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is due to a reduction in storage revenue of $0.6 million, primarily resulting from scheduled tank cleanings, as the average capacity used internally for crude oil operations and marketing activities decreased to 1.3 million barrels from 1.4 million barrels and the average capacity leased by storage customers decreased to 6.2 million barrels from 6.6 million barrels. The remainder is due to decreases in pump-over revenue of $0.5 million.
Operating expense
Operating expense increased to $2.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of increased field expense, maintenance and repair and other expense.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense decreased to $0.3 million for three months ended September 30, 2017, from $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of a reduction in overhead allocations.

Revenue
Revenue decreased to $36.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $38.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is due to a reduction in storage revenue of $1.9 million, primarily resulting from scheduled tank cleanings, as the average capacity leased by storage customers decreased to 6.3 million barrels from 6.6 million barrels, with the remaining amount due to reduction of pump-over revenue.
Operating expense
Operating expense increased to $8.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of increased field expense, compensation, outside services and maintenance and repair expense.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense decreased to $1.5 million for nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of a reduction in overhead allocations.

Gross product revenue increased in the three months ended September 30, 2017, to $1.1 billion from $862.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the volume sold to 22.2 million barrels at an average sales price of $47 per barrel in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to volume sold of 19.0 million barrels at an average sales price of $45 per barrel in the three months ended September 30, 2016.
Gross product revenue was reduced by $708.5 million and $690.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 845-10-15, “Nonmonetary Transactions”. ASC 845-10-15 requires that certain transactions -- those where inventory is purchased from a customer then

resold to the same customer -- to be presented in the income statement on a net basis, resulting in a reduction of revenue and costs of products sold by the same amount.
Cost of products sold
Costs of products sold increased in the three months ended September 30, 2017, to $342.3 million (including $11.6 million of intersegment charges) from $167.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 (including $9.8 million of intersegment charges). Costs of products sold reflect reductions of $708.5 million and $690.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in accordance with ASC 845-10-15. There was an increase in the barrels sold, as described above, combined with an increase in the average cost per barrel of crude oil to $47 in the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $45 in the three months ended September 30, 2016.
Operating expense
Operating expense increased to $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to higher outside services and other expenses.
General and administrative expense

On July 17, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), we completed our acquisition of Houston Fuel Oil Terminal Company pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) among us, Beachhead I LLC (“Buyer I”), Beachhead II LLC (“Buyer II” and, together with Buyer I, the “Buyers”), which are each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of us, Buffalo Investor I, L.P. (“Buffalo I”) and Buffalo Investor II, L.P. (“Buffalo II” and, together with Buffalo I, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we acquired 100% of the equity interests in Buffalo Parent Gulf Coast Terminals LLC (“BPGCT”), the parent company of Buffalo Gulf Coast Terminals LLC (“BGCT”) and HFOTCO LLC doing business as Houston Fuel Oil Terminal Company (“HFOTCO”), in exchange for a purchase price paid or to be paid by the Buyers to the Sellers in two payments.
The first payment (the “First Payment”) occurred on the Closing Date and was composed of estimated assumed net indebtedness at HFOTCO of approximately $766 million, issuance of approximately 12.4 million shares of our Class A common stock, and $297 million in cash, which is net of an estimated $4.2 million adjustment for working capital, net indebtedness and capital expenditures. We funded the cash portion of the First Payment and certain other transaction costs with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We intend to make the second payment on or prior to December 31, 2018. The second payment will consist of $600 million of cash if paid on December 31, 2018, which amount is discounted at a rate of 5% per annum if paid prior to December 31, 2018, and increases to $680 million if not paid by December 31, 2018, but which amount must be paid any time after December 31, 2018, upon the written request of Sellers and, in any event, not later than December 31, 2019 (the “Second Payment”). Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries other than BPGCT, the Buyers and Beachhead Holdings LLC, the parent company of the Buyers (“Beachhead Holdings” and, together with BPGCT and the Buyers, the “Guarantors”), will have any obligation to pay the Second Payment to Sellers. Instead, the Second Payment is secured by a guarantee by the Guarantors and a pledge of the equity interests in BPGCT and the Buyers in favor of the Sellers.
This acquisition establishes our position in the premier energy market, the Houston Ship Channel, and provides a strategic platform to refinery-facing growth. This acquisition adds to our existing assets a 16.8 million barrel terminal strategically located on the U.S. Gulf Coast with crude pipeline delivery connectivity to the local refining complex, deep water marine access and inbound crude receipt pipeline connectivity, as well as rail/truck loading and unloading capabilities. The terminal, located on 330 acres on the Houston Ship Channel, stores, blends and transports residual fuel and crude oil as well as asphalt via pipeline, barge, rail, truck and ship for major oil companies, refiners, international trading firms and others. HFOTCO is currently executing on contractually supported growth projects, including a new ship dock, a new pipeline and connections, as well as an additional 1.45 million barrels of crude oil storage, expected to be in service mid-2018.
The results of HFOTCO subsequent to the acquisition are included in the table above. General and administrative expense for the period subsequent to the acquisition includes the benefit of a $3.0 million reduction to the assumed pension

Page 47


liability due to the curtailment of HFOTCO’s defined benefit pension plan. Subsequent to the acquisition, SemGroup closed the plan to new members and stopped the accrual of future benefits under the plan to better align HFOTCO with SemGroup’s compensation strategy. Accordingly, the pension liability assumed at acquisition of $10.0 million was reduced to $7.0 million as of September 30, 2017.

Three months ended September 30, 2017 versus three months ended September 30, 2016
Revenue
Revenue decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2017, to $56.2 million from $60.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is primarily due to lower volumes (25,120 MMcf in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 28,068 MMcf for the same period in 2016) and decreased fees ($13 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, versus $14 million for the same period in 2016). Volume decreases are primarily due to reduced drilling coupled with natural well production declines. The decrease was offset by a higher average natural gas NYMEX price of $2.99/MMbtu in the three months ended September 30, 2017, versus $2.81/MMbtu for the same period in 2016, higher average NGL basket price of $0.75/gallon in the three months ended September 30, 2017, versus $0.54/gallon for the same period in 2016.
Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold remained constant in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, at $33.1 million.
Operating expense
Operating expense decreased to $7.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $8.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease is due to lower equipment leases, maintenance and repair cost and field expense (which includes materials and supplies, lubricants, water disposal, electricity and fuel). All decreases are primarily driven by lower volume in northern Oklahoma. These decreases were offset by an increase in employment expense.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense increased slightly to $2.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $2.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is due primarily to an increase in intercompany, employment and insurance costs, offset by a decrease in office expense.
Nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus nine months ended September 30, 2016
Revenue
Revenue increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, to $176.3 million from $157.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to a higher average natural gas NYMEX price of $3.17/MMbtu in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, versus $2.29/MMbtu for the same period in 2016, a higher average NGL basket price of $0.71/gallon in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, versus $0.51/gallon for the same period in 2016 and

increased fees ($41 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, versus $37 million for the same period in 2016). The increase was offset, in part, by lower volume (77,773 MMcf in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 88,470 MMcf for the same period in 2016). Volume decreases are primarily due to reduced drilling coupled with natural well production declines.
Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, to $100.7 million from $84.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is attributable to higher prices offset, in part, by lower volume processed in northern Oklahoma.
Operating expense
Operating expense decreased to $22.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $24.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease is due to lower equipment lease expense, maintenance and repair cost and field expense (which includes materials and supplies, lubricants, water disposal, electricity and fuel). All decreases are primarily driven by lower volume in northern Oklahoma. These decreases were offset by an increase in employment costs and taxes.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense increased to $7.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $6.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is due primarily to an increase in employment costs, intercompany, outside services and facilities lease expense, offset by a decrease in office and insurance expense.
Loss on disposal or impairment, net
Net loss on disposal or impairment decreased to $21.0 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $13.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease is primarily due to a $13.1 million goodwill impairment recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Three months ended September 30, 2017 versus three months ended September 30, 2016
Revenue
Revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2017, increased to $39.5 million from $36.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates between periods, higher gathering and processing revenue, higher operating cost recoveries and higher overhead recovery income of $1.5 million, $1.4 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. In addition, a 11-day unplanned outage at the KA plant reduced gathering and processing revenue by $0.7 million.

Page 49


Operating expense
Operating expense increased in the three months ended September 30, 2017, to $22.8 million from $19.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is primarily due to turnaround costs related to the K3 plant and changes in foreign currency exchange rates between periods offset, in part, by lower contractor costs.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense increased in the three months ended September 30, 2017, to $4.9 million from $3.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is primarily due to higher compensation costs, write-off of capital projects, higher office costs and changes in foreign currency exchange rates between periods.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased slightly in the three months ended September 30, 2017, to $4.7 million from $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of project completions.
Nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus nine months ended September 30, 2016
Revenue
Revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, increased to $136.4 million from $100.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is primarily due to higher operating costs recoveries, higher gathering and processing revenue, true-up of take-or-pay minimum volume commitments, higher overhead recovery income, changes in foreign currency exchange rates between periods and higher maintenance capital fees of $26.2 million, $4.3 million, $3.8 million, $2.7 million, $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively. In addition, a 36-day planned outage at the K3 plant and an 11-day unplanned outage at the KA plant reduced gathering and processing revenue by $1.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Operating expense
Operating expense increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, to $83.7 million from $57.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is primarily due to turnaround costs related to the K3 plant and higher compensation costs. These increases were offset, in part, by lower contractor costs, repair costs in 2016 related to the K3 plant outage and changes in foreign currency exchange rates between periods.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense increased to $13.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $10.8 million in nine months ended September 30, 2016, due primarily to higher compensation costs, higher office costs, write-off of capital projects and changes in foreign currency exchange rates between periods.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, to $13.7 million from $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of project completions.

Three months ended September 30, 2017 versus three months ended September 30, 2016
Revenue
Revenue increased in the three months ended September 30, 2017, to $42.9 million from $36.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. An increase in the average sales price per metric ton between periods accounted for $5.2 million of the increase and lower volumes between periods (95,015 metric tons in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 97,966 metric tons in the three months ended September 30, 2016), resulted in a decrease of $1.1 million. The change in the foreign currency exchange rate between periods resulted in an increase of $2.1 million.
Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold increased in the three months ended September 30, 2017, to $36.6 million from $30.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. These increases were primarily due to a higher average cost of asphalt along with the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, offset by decreases resulting from lower volume between the periods.
Operating expense
Operating expense increased in the three months ended September 30, 2017, to $2.2 million from $1.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of increases in bad debt expense, maintenance and repair expense and the changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the periods.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2017, to $2.1 million from $2.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of decreased outside services, legal and travel expenses and an overall reduction in expenses due to the implementation of strict cost control measures.
Nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus nine months ended September 30, 2016
Revenue
Revenue increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, to $110.9 million from $97.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. An increase in the average sales price per metric ton between periods accounted for $15.4 million of the increase and higher volumes between periods (257,565 metric tons in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 254,082 metric tons in the nine months ended September 30, 2016), resulted in an increase of $1.3 million. Changes in the foreign currency exchange rate between periods resulted in a decrease of $2.5 million.
Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, to $93.5 million from $77.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is a result of higher average cost of asphalt and higher volume between the periods, offset by the effect of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates between periods.

Corporate and Other is not an operating segment. This table is included to permit the reconciliation of segment information to that of the consolidated Company. The increase in general and administrative expense in the current period is primarily due to HFOTCO acquisition costs of $13.6 million and $19.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Earnings from equity method investments, which includes loss on issuance of common units by equity method investee in the table above, relate to our investment in NGL Energy.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our principal sources of short-term liquidity are cash generated from our operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities. The consolidated cash balance on September 30, 2017, was $68.0 million. Of this amount, $21.0 million was held in Canada and portions may be subject to tax if transferred to the U.S. Potential sources of long-term liquidity include issuances of debt securities and equity securities and the sale of assets. Our primary cash requirements currently are operating expenses, capital expenditures and our quarterly dividends. In general, we expect to fund:
operating expenses, maintenance capital expenditures and cash dividends through existing cash and cash from operating activities;
expansion capital expenditures and any working capital deficits through cash on hand, borrowings under our credit facility and the issuance of debt securities and equity securities;
acquisitions, including the Second Payment, through cash on hand, borrowings under our credit facility, the issuance of debt securities and equity securities and proceeds from the divestiture of assets or interests in assets; and
debt principal payments through cash from operating activities and refinancing when the credit facility becomes due.
Our ability to meet our financing requirements and fund our planned capital expenditures will depend on our future operating performance and distributions from our equity investments, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in our industry. In addition, we are subject to conditions in the debt and equity markets for any issuances of debt securities and equity securities. There can be no assurance we will be able or willing to access the public or private markets in the future. If we would be unable or unwilling to access those markets, we could be required to restrict future expansion capital expenditures and potential future acquisitions.

Page 53


We believe our cash from operations, our remaining borrowing capacity and other capital markets activity allow us to manage our day-to-day cash requirements, distribute our quarterly dividends and meet our capital expenditures commitments for the coming year.

Adjustments to net income (loss) for non-cash expenses, net increased $3.1 million to $135.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $131.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This change is primarily a result of:
$27.8 million increase in losses on disposal or impairments, net, primarily due to current year impairment of goodwill and intangible assets related to our truck transportation business;
$26.3 million in depreciation and amortization expense, primarily as a result of the acquisition of HFOTCO and completion of the Maurepas Pipeline;
$19.9 million increase related to a loss on early extinguishment of $300 million of senior unsecured notes;
$3.8 million reduction in earnings from equity method investments;
$1.5 million increase in non-cash equity compensation; and
$1.3 million increase in provision for uncollectible accounts receivable, net of recoveries.
These increases to the adjustments to net income for non-cash expenses were offset by decreases due to:
$30.6 million from prior year losses on the sale or impairment of equity method investment which did not recur in the current year;
$30.0 million primarily due to the impact of a discrete tax benefit of $31.5 million related to a change of position to deduct foreign taxes in lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit for the tax years 2013 through 2016 in the current year;

Page 54


$7.1 million in distributions from equity investments due to our prior year disposal of our limited partner ownership in NGL Energy and lower distributions from White Cliffs;
$5.4 million in currency exchange losses in the prior year, compared to currency exchange gains in the current year;
$3.0 million gain on pension curtailment related to the HFOTCO pension plan; and
$1.7 million in decreases in amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts.
All other adjustments to net income for non-cash expenses, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, remained relatively comparable to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, generated a net decrease in operating cash flows of $22.9 million. The decrease to operating cash flow due to the change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of an increase in assets related to accounts receivable, inventories, other assets and other current assets of $36.2 million, $28.3 million, $17.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, offset by a decrease in receivables from affiliates of $19.9 million. Liabilities increased $57.1 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $7.4 million in other noncurrent liabilities, offset by a decrease in payables to affiliates of $21.6 million. The increase in other noncurrent liabilities is primarily due to the accretion of the Second Payment. Changes in receivables, inventory, payables and accrued liabilities are primarily due to our segments’ operating activities and are subject to the timing of purchases and sales and fluctuations in commodity pricing.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, generated a net increase in operating cash flows of $6.9 million. The increase to operating cash flow due to the change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of increases in assets of $14.4 million and $4.2 million related to inventory and accounts receivable, respectively, offset by decreases in other current assets and receivables from affiliates of $2.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities saw an increase of $22.1 million, offset by a decrease in other noncurrent liabilities of $1.3 million. Changes in receivables, inventory, payables and accrued liabilities are primarily due to our segments’ operating activities and are subject to the timing of purchases and sales and fluctuations in commodity pricing.
Investing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we had net cash outflows of $622.1 million from investing activities, due primarily to $346.2 million of capital expenditures, $293.0 million in payments to acquire HFOTCO, net of cash received and $18.8 million of contributions to equity method investments. These cash outflows were offset by investing cash inflows of $19.3 million of distributions in excess of equity in earnings of affiliates and $16.6 million in proceeds from the sale of long-lived assets. Capital expenditures primarily related to the Maurepas Pipeline. Contributions to equity method investments primarily related to Glass Mountain growth projects. Proceeds from the sale of long-lived assets related to the sale of non-core assets. Distributions in excess of equity in earnings of affiliates represent cash distributions from White Cliffs and Glass Mountain in excess of our cumulative equity in earnings and are accounted for as a return of investment.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we had net cash outflows of $124.2 million from investing activities, due primarily to $203.8 million of capital expenditures and $3.8 million of contributions to equity method investments. These cash outflows were offset by investing cash inflows of $60.5 million in proceeds from the sale of our common limited partner units of NGL Energy and $22.8 million of distributions in excess of equity in earnings of affiliates. Capital expenditures primarily related to the Maurepas Pipeline, crude oil pipeline projects, SemGas’ Northern Oklahoma expansion projects and SemCAMS’ Wapiti plant. Distributions in excess of equity in earnings of affiliates represent cash distributions from White Cliffs and Glass Mountain in excess of our cumulative equity in earnings and are accounted for as a return of investment.
Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we had net cash inflows of $519.0 million from financing activities, which related to borrowings on credit facilities and the issuance of senior unsecured notes, net of discount, of $1.4 billion, offset by principal payments on credit facilities and other obligations of $711.9 million, dividends paid of $94.7 million, debt extinguishment costs of $16.3 million, debt issuance costs of $10.8 million and $1.4 million to repurchase common stock for payment of statutory taxes due on equity-based compensation. Net borrowings were used primarily to extinguish senior unsecured notes, acquire HFOTCO and for capital expenditures. Debt issuance costs related to the issuance of senior unsecured notes.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we had net cash inflows of $89.1 million from financing activities, which related to borrowings on long-term debt of $362.5 million and proceeds from the issuance of common shares, net of offering costs, of $223.7 million, partially offset by principal payments on long-term debt of $394.0 million, dividends paid of $63.3 million, distributions to non-controlling interests of $32.1 million and debt issuance costs of $7.5 million. Net

Page 55


borrowings were used primarily for capital expenditures. Proceeds from the issuance of common shares were used to repay borrowings on our credit facility and for capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Debt issuance costs related to the increase and extension of our revolving credit facility.
Long-term Debt
Senior Unsecured Notes
At September 30, 2017, we had outstanding $400 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due 2022, $350 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due 2023, $325 million of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2025 and $300 million of 7.25% senior unsecured notes due 2026.
SemGroup Revolving Credit Facility
At September 30, 2017, we had $332.0 million of cash borrowings outstanding under our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. We had $39.4 million in outstanding letters of credit on that date. The maximum letter of credit capacity under this facility is $250 million. The facility can be increased up to $300 million. The credit agreement expires on March 15, 2021.
At September 30, 2017, we had available borrowing capacity of $628.6 million under this facility.
On April 4, 2017, we amended the credit agreement to restate the pricing grid. The applicable margin for borrowings under the facility were amended to the following:

SemMexico Credit Facility
At September 30, 2017, SemMexico had no amounts outstanding on its $70 million Mexican pesos (U.S. $3.8 million at the September 30, 2017 exchange rate) credit facility which matures in May 2018. At September 30, 2017, SemMexico had outstanding letters of credit of $292.8 million Mexican pesos (U.S. $16.0 million at the September 30, 2017 exchange rate).
HFOTCO Debt Assumption and Revolving Credit Facility
On July 17, 2017, we completed the acquisition of HFOTCO and assumed approximately $766 million of existing net debt at HFOTCO, which has been adjusted to fair value through acquisition accounting. As of the Closing Date, the assumed debt at HFOTCO consisted of $534.9 million of senior secured term loans and $225 million of limited obligation revenue bonds due November 1, 2050 (the “IKE Bonds”). In addition, HFOTCO has a $75 million senior secured revolving credit facility. HFOTCO indebtedness is non-recourse to the Company. At September 30, 2017, HFOTCO’s senior secured revolving credit facility had outstanding borrowings of $25.0 million.
At HFOTCO’s option, outstanding senior secured term loan and outstanding senior secured revolver borrowings bear interest at either the Eurodollar rate or an alternate base rate (“ABR”) plus, in each case, an applicable margin. After the Closing Date, the applicable margin relating to outstanding senior secured term loans is 3.5% per annum for Eurodollar loans or 2.5% per annum for ABR loans and the applicable margin relating to outstanding senior secured revolver borrowings is 3.25% per annum for Eurodollar loans or 2.25% per annum for ABR loans. The rate of interest for the IKE Bonds is determined to August 19, 2019, at 1-month LIBOR plus the applicable spread, which ranges from 1.25% to 1.65% per annum based on reference to a super senior leverage based pricing grid. Senior secured term loans require quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original $550 million loan amount and mature on August 19, 2021. Senior secured revolving borrowings mature on August 19, 2019. HFOTCO may request an increase of up to an additional $25 million of incremental revolving commitments under the revolving credit facility or the incurrence of up to an additional $100 million of incremental term loans. Senior secured term loans, borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility and the IKE Bonds are guaranteed by BGCT and secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of HFOTCO.
The agreement governing HFOTCO senior secured term loans or senior secured revolver borrowings (the “HFOTCO Credit Agreement”) includes customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, which were made only for the purposes of the HFOTCO Credit Agreement and as of the specific date (or dates) set forth therein, and may

Page 56


be subject to certain limitations as agreed upon by the contracting parties, and apply only to BGCT, HFOTCO and any subsidiaries of HFOTCO party to the HFOTCO Credit Agreement. Such limitations include the creation of new liens, indebtedness, making of certain restricted payments and payments on indebtedness, making certain dispositions, making material changes in business activities, making fundamental changes including liquidations, mergers or consolidations, making certain investments, entering into certain transactions with affiliates, making amendments to material agreements, modifying the fiscal year, dealing with hazardous materials in certain ways, entering into certain hedging arrangements, entering into certain restrictive agreements, and funding or engaging in sanctioned activities.
In addition, the HFOTCO Credit Agreement contains a financial performance covenant as follows (the “HFOTCO Financial Covenant”): if the aggregate revolving exposure exceeds 25% of the HFOTCO Revolving Commitments, the total adjusted net leverage ratio of BGCT and its restricted subsidiaries under the HFOTCO Credit Agreement may not exceed 7.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. The financial performance covenant is solely for the benefit of the lenders holding HFOTCO Revolving Commitments or HFOTCO Revolving Loans.
The HFOTCO Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including events of default relating to inaccuracy of representations and warranties in any material respect when made or when deemed made, non-payment of principal and other amounts owing under the HFOTCO Credit Agreement, including in respect of letter of credit disbursement obligations, violation of covenants, cross acceleration to any material indebtedness of BGCT, HFOTCO and its subsidiaries, bankruptcy and insolvency events, certain unsatisfied judgments, certain ERISA events, certain invalidities of loan documents and the occurrence of a change of control (excluding the change of control occurring on the Closing Date). A default of the HFOTCO Financial Covenant will not constitute an event of default unless lenders holding a majority of the HFOTCO Revolving Commitments and HFOTCO Revolving Loans request that the administrative agent accelerate the maturity of the outstanding HFOTCO Revolving Loans due to a breach of the HFOTCO Financial Covenant. A default under the HFOTCO Credit Agreement would permit the participating banks to terminate commitments, require immediate repayment of any outstanding loans with interest and any unpaid accrued fees, require the cash collateralization of outstanding letter of credit obligations, and subject to intercreditor arrangements with the holders of the IKE Bonds referred to below, exercise other rights and remedies.
The IKE Bond Indentures include customary events of default, including non-payment of principal of or interest on the IKE Bonds, violation of covenants (including under the applicable HCIDC Loan Agreement), bankruptcy and insolvency events, and an event of default under the Continuing Covenant Agreement described below. On August 19, 2019, the IKE Bonds may be converted to bear interest on other terms for a successive term or terms on certain conditions at the option of HFOTCO and, if not converted, will continue to bear interest for successive 5-year terms at 3-month LIBOR plus a spread to be determined by a remarketing agent. If the IKE bonds are not remarketed to investors on August 19, 2019, or the end of any successive interest rate term, at a price equal to their principal amount, they must be purchased by HFOTCO under the HCIDC Loan Agreement for a price equal to their principal amount. The IKE Bonds mature on November 1, 2050.
In connection with the conversion of the interest rate mode of the IKE Bonds from the Weekly Mode to the LIBOR Term Indexed Mode contemporaneously with execution and delivery of the IKE Bond Indentures, certain purchasers purchased the IKE Bonds, and BGCT and HFOTCO, entered into a Continuing Covenant Agreement (the “Existing Continuing Covenant Agreement”), dated as of August 19, 2014, by and among BGCT, as the parent, HFOTCO, as obligor, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the bondholders party thereto. In connection with the Closing, the Existing Continuing Covenant Agreement was modified pursuant to that certain Consent and Amendment (the “CCA Amendment”; the Existing Continuing Covenant Agreement, as modified by the CCA Amendment, the “Continuing Covenant Agreement”), dated as of June 5, 2017 and effective as of the Closing Date.
The Continuing Covenant Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, which were made only for the purposes of the Continuing Covenant Agreement and as of the specific date (or dates) set forth therein, may be subject to certain limitations as agreed upon by the contracting parties, and apply only to BGCT, HFOTCO and any subsidiaries of HFOTCO party to the Continuing Covenant Agreement. Such covenants include limitations on the creation of new liens, indebtedness, making of certain restricted payments and payments on indebtedness, making certain dispositions, making material changes in business activities, making fundamental changes including liquidations, mergers or consolidations, making certain investments, entering into certain transactions with affiliates, making amendments to certain credit or organizational agreements, modifying the fiscal year, creating or dealing with hazardous materials in certain ways, entering into certain hedging arrangements, entering into certain restrictive agreements, funding or engaging in sanctioned activities, taking actions or causing the trustee to take actions that materially adversely affect the rights, interests, remedies or security of the bondholders, taking actions to remove the trustee, making certain amendments to the bond documents, and taking actions or omitting to take actions that adversely impact the tax-exempt status of the IKE Bonds.
In addition, the Continuing Covenant Agreement contains financial performance covenants as follows:
the super senior leverage ratio of BGCT and its restricted subsidiaries under the Continuing Covenant Agreement may not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter; and

Page 57


the interest coverage ratio of BGCT and its restricted subsidiaries under the Continuing Covenant Agreement may not be less than 2.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter.
The Continuing Covenant Agreement includes customary events of default, including events of default relating to the inaccuracy of representations and warranties in any material respect when made or when deemed made, non-payment of principal and other amounts owing under the Continuing Covenant Agreement, violation of covenants, acceleration of or right of holders to accelerate any material indebtedness of BGCT, HFOTCO and its subsidiaries, bankruptcy and insolvency events, certain unsatisfied judgments, certain ERISA events, certain invalidities of bond, guaranty or collateral documents and the occurrence of a change of control (excluding the change of control occurring on the Closing Date). A default under the Continuing Covenant Agreement would permit the bondholders to accelerate outstanding obligations under the Continuing Covenant Agreement (other than the IKE Bonds), direct the trustee to accelerate the IKE Bonds, and subject to intercreditor arrangements with the creditors of the HFOTCO Credit Agreement, exercise other rights and remedies.
HFOTCO Second Payment    
In addition to the assumed debt discussed above, we are required to make the Second Payment as part of the consideration for the acquisition of HFOTCO. The Second Payment requires us to pay the Sellers $600 million in cash if paid on December 31, 2018. If paid prior to December 31, 2018, the amount payable will be discounted by 5% per annum. If not paid by December 31, 2018, the amount payable increases to $680 million and is due by December 31, 2019 or earlier if requested by the Sellers.
Shelf Registration Statement
We have access to a universal shelf registration statement which provides us the ability to offer and sell an unlimited amount of debt and equity securities, subject to market conditions and our capital needs. This shelf registration statement expires in March 2019.
We have also established an “at the market” offering program under this shelf registration statement, which provides for the offer and sale, from time to time, of common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $300 million. We are able to make sales over a period of time and from time to time in transactions at prices which are prevailing market prices at the time of sale, prices related to market prices or at negotiated prices. Such sales may be made pursuant to an Equity Distribution Agreement between us and certain agents who may act as sales agents or purchase for their own accounts as principals. To date, there have been no such sales.
Registration Rights Agreements
In connection with the closing of the offerings of the 2025 and 2026 senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”), the Company and the Guarantors entered into registration rights agreements (the “Registration Rights Agreements”). Under the Registration Rights Agreements, the Company and the Guarantors have agreed to file registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission so that holders of the Notes can exchange the Notes and the related guarantees for registered notes and guarantees that have substantially identical terms as the Notes and related guarantees, within 365 days after the original issuance. In certain circumstances, the Company and the Guarantors may be required to file shelf registration statements to cover resales of the Notes. We are required to pay additional interest on the Notes if we fail to comply with our obligations to register the Notes and related guarantees, within the specified time periods.
Capital Requirements
The midstream energy business can be capital intensive, requiring significant investment for the maintenance of existing assets or acquisition or development of new systems and facilities. We categorize our capital expenditures as either:
expansion capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures incurred for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating income or operating capacity over the long-term; or
maintenance capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures (including expenditures for the addition or improvement to, or the replacement of, our capital assets or for the acquisition of existing, or the construction or development of new, capital assets) made to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity.
Projected capital expenditures for 2017 are estimated at $575 million in expansion projects, including capital contributions to affiliates for funding growth projects and acquisitions, and $50 million in maintenance projects. These estimates may change as future events unfold. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” During the

Page 58


nine months ended September 30, 2017, we spent $346.2 million (cash basis) on capital projects and $18.8 million in capital contributions to equity method investees primarily for funding growth projects.
In addition to our budgeted capital program, we anticipate that we will continue to make significant expansion capital expenditures in the future. Consequently, our ability to develop and maintain sources of funds to meet our capital requirements is critical to our ability to meet our growth objectives. We expect that our future expansion capital expenditures will be funded by cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, the issuance of debt and equity securities and proceeds from the divestiture of assets or interests in assets.

Credit Risk
We are subject to risks of loss resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers. We examine the creditworthiness of third-party customers to whom we extend credit and manage our exposure to credit risk through credit analysis, credit approval, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and for certain transactions, we may request letters of credit, prepayments or guarantees.
Customer Concentration
Shell Trading (US) Company, a customer of our Crude Supply and Logistics segment, accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017, at approximately 16%. Shell Trading (US) Company, a customer of our Crude Supply and Logistics segment, accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, at approximately 23%. The contracts from which our revenues are derived from this customer relate to our crude marketing operations and are for crude oil purchases and sales at market prices. We are not substantially dependent on such contracts and believe that if we were to lose any or all of these contracts, they could be readily replaced under substantially similar terms. Although we have contracts with customers of varying durations, if one or more of our major customers were to default on their contract, or if we were unable to renew our contract with one or more of these customers on favorable terms, we might not be able to replace any of these customers in a timely fashion, on favorable terms or at all. In any of these situations, our revenues and our ability to pay cash dividends to our stockholders may be adversely affected. We expect our exposure to risk of non-payment or non-performance to continue as long as we remain substantially dependent on a relatively small number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenues.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303 of Regulation S-K.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
This discussion on market risks represents an estimate of possible changes in future earnings that would occur assuming hypothetical future movements in commodity prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates. Our views on market risk are not necessarily indicative of actual results that may occur, and do not represent the maximum possible gains and losses that may occur since actual gains and losses will differ from those estimated based on actual fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and the timing of transactions.
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in (i) petroleum prices, particularly crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, (ii) interest rates and (iii) currency exchange rates. We may use from time-to-time various derivative instruments to manage such exposure. Our risk management policies and procedures are designed to monitor physical and financial commodity positions and the resulting outright commodity price risk as well as basis risk resulting from differences in commodity grades, purchase and sales locations and purchase and sale timing. We have a risk management function that has responsibility and authority for our Risk Governance Policies, which govern our enterprise-wide risks, including the market risks discussed in this item. Subject to our Risk Governance Policies, our finance and treasury function has responsibility and authority for managing exposure to interest rates and currency exchange rates. To manage the risks discussed above, we engage in price risk management activities.

Revenue from our asset-based activities is dependent on throughput volume, tariff rates, the level of fees generated from our pipeline systems, capacity leased to third parties, capacity that we use for our own operational or marketing activities and the level of other fees generated at our terminalling and storage facilities. Profit from our marketing activities is dependent on

Page 61


our ability to sell petroleum products at prices in excess of our aggregate cost. Margins may be affected during transitional periods between a backwardated market (when the prices for future deliveries are lower than the current prices) and a contango market (when the prices for future deliveries are higher than the current prices). Our petroleum product marketing activities within each of our segments are generally not directly affected by the absolute level of petroleum product prices, but are affected by overall levels of supply and demand for petroleum products and relative fluctuations in market-related indices at various locations.
However, the SemGas segment has exposure to commodity price risk because of the nature of certain contracts for which our fee is based on a percentage of proceeds or index related to the prices of natural gas, natural gas liquids and condensate. Given current volumes, liquid recoveries and contract terms, we estimate the following sensitivities over the next twelve months:
A 10% increase in the price of natural gas and natural gas liquids results in approximately a $2.8 million increase to gross margin.
A 10% decrease in those prices would have the opposite effect.
The above sensitivities may be impacted by changes in contract mix, change in production or other factors which are outside of our control.
Additionally, based on our open derivative contracts at September 30, 2017, an increase in the applicable market price or prices for each derivative contract would result in a decrease in our crude oil sales revenues. Likewise, a decrease in the applicable market price or prices for each derivative contract would result in an increase in our crude oil sales revenues. However, the increases or decreases in crude oil sales revenues we recognize from our open derivative contracts are substantially offset by higher or lower crude oil sales revenues when the physical sale of the product occurs. These contracts may be for the purchase or sale of crude oil or in markets different from the physical markets in which we are attempting to hedge our exposure, or may have timing differences relative to the physical markets. As a result of these factors, our hedges may not eliminate all price risks.
The notional volumes and fair value of our commodity derivatives open positions as well as the change in fair value that would be expected from a 10% market price increase or decrease is shown in the table below (in thousands):

Margin deposits or other credit support, including letters of credit, are generally required on derivative instruments used to manage our price exposure. As commodity prices increase or decrease, the fair value of our derivative instruments changes, thereby increasing or decreasing our margin deposit or other credit support requirements. Although a component of our risk-management strategy is intended to manage the margin and other credit support requirements on our derivative instruments, volatile spot and forward commodity prices, or an expectation of increased commodity price volatility, could increase the cash needed to manage our commodity price exposure and thereby increase our liquidity requirements. This may limit amounts available to us through borrowing, decrease the volume of petroleum products we purchase and sell or limit our commodity price management activities.
Interest Rate Risk
We use variable rate debt and are exposed to market risk due to the floating interest rates on our credit facilities. Therefore, from time-to-time we may use interest rate derivatives to manage interest obligations on specific debt issuances. Our variable rate debt bears interest at LIBOR or prime, subject to certain floors, plus the applicable margin. At September 30, 2017, an increase in these base rates of 1%, above the base rate floors, would increase our interest expense by $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, an increase in these base rates of 1%, above the base rate floors, would increase our interest expense by $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Increases in interest expense due to an increase in interest rates as presented above, would have been partially offset by a $1.3 million reduction in interest expense from interest rate swaps, discussed below, in each period.
The average interest rates presented below are based upon rates in effect at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The carrying value of the variable rate instruments in our credit facilities approximate fair value primarily because our rates fluctuate with prevailing market rates.

In conjunction with the HFOTCO acquisition, we acquired HFOTCO’s interest rate swaps. The swaps allow us to limit exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The swaps only apply to a portion of our outstanding debt and provide only partial mitigation of interest rate fluctuations. We have not designated the swaps as hedges, as such changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded through current period earnings as a component of interest expense. At September 30, 2017, we had interest rate swaps with notional values of $491.8 million. At September 30, 2017, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was $2.7 million which was reported within other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized unrealized gains of $0.6 million related to interest rate swaps.
Currency Exchange Risk
The cash flows related to our U.K., Canada and Mexico operations are based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of such amounts measured in British pounds, Canadian dollars and Mexican pesos. Assets and liabilities of our U.K., Canadian and Mexican subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting period. Revenue, expenses and cash flows are translated using the average exchange rate during the reporting period.
A 10% change in the average exchange rate during the three months ended September 30, 2017, would change operating income by $1.6 million. A 10% change in the average exchange rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, would change operating income by $5.4 million.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act), are effective as of September 30, 2017. This conclusion is based on an evaluation conducted under the supervision and participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer along with our management. Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
On July 17, 2017, we closed on the acquisition of HFOTCO. We are in the process of assessing and, to the extent necessary, making changes to the internal control over financial reporting at HFOTCO to conform such internal control to that used in our other segments. Based on the information presently available to management, we do not believe such changes will adversely impact our internal control over financial reporting. Subject to the foregoing, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
