Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements	Phillips 66 Partners LP

Note 1—Business and Basis of Presentation

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, all references to “Phillips 66 Partners,” “the Partnership,” “us,” “our,” “we,” or similar expressions refer to Phillips 66 Partners LP, including its consolidated subsidiaries. References to Phillips 66 may refer to Phillips 66 and/or its subsidiaries, depending on the context.

Description of the Business

We are a growth-oriented master limited partnership formed to own, operate, develop and acquire primarily fee-based crude oil, refined petroleum products and natural gas liquids (NGL) pipelines, terminals and other transportation and midstream assets. Our common units trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PSXP.”

Effective March 1, 2016 (the Effective Date), we acquired from Phillips 66 a 25 percent controlling interest in Phillips 66 Sweeny Frac LLC (Sweeny Frac LLC) for total consideration valued at $236 million (the Sweeny Fractionator Acquisition). Sweeny Frac LLC owns an NGL fractionator and an associated NGL salt dome storage facility, which are collectively referred to as the Acquired Assets. See Note 4—Sweeny Fractionator Acquisition for more information.

Our assets consist of crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL transportation, terminaling and storage systems, including an NGL fractionation facility. We conduct our operations through both wholly owned and joint venture operations. The majority of our assets are connected to, and integral to the operation of, seven of Phillips 66’s owned or operated refineries.

We generate revenue primarily by charging tariffs and fees for transporting crude oil and refined petroleum products through our pipelines, and for terminaling and storing crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL at our terminals, rail racks and storage facilities. In addition, we also generate revenue from the fractionation of NGL. Our equity affiliates generate revenue primarily from transporting NGL and refined petroleum products. Since we do not own any of the NGL, crude oil and refined petroleum products we handle and do not engage in the trading of NGL, crude oil and refined petroleum products, we have limited direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices, although these risks indirectly influence our activities and results of operations over the long term.

Basis of Presentation

We acquired assets from Phillips 66 that were considered transfers of businesses between entities under common control. This required the transactions to be accounted for as if the transfers had occurred at the beginning of the transfer period, with prior periods retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results and financial position of these acquired businesses prior to the effective date of each acquisition. We refer to these pre-acquisition operations as those of our “Predecessors.”

The combined financial statements of our Predecessors (inclusive of noncontrolling interests) were derived from the accounting records of Phillips 66 and reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of our Predecessors as if such businesses had been combined for all periods presented.

All intercompany transactions and accounts within our Predecessors have been eliminated. The assets and liabilities of our Predecessors in these financial statements have been reflected on a historical cost basis because the transfer of the Predecessors to us took place within the Phillips 66 consolidated group. The consolidated statement of income also includes expense allocations for certain functions performed by Phillips 66 and historically not allocated to the Predecessors’ operations, including allocations of general corporate expenses related to executive oversight, accounting, treasury, tax, legal, information technology and procurement; and operational support services such as engineering and logistics. These allocations were based primarily on relative values of properties, plants and equipment (PP&E) and equity investments, or number of terminals and pipeline miles, and secondarily on activity-based cost allocations. Our management believes the assumptions underlying the allocation of expenses from Phillips 66 were reasonable. Nevertheless, the financial results of our Predecessors may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had our Predecessors been a stand-alone publicly traded partnership during the periods presented.

Note 2—Interim Financial Information

The interim financial information presented in the financial statements included in this report is unaudited and includes all known accruals and adjustments necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Unless otherwise specified, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this report. Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 3—Changes in Accounting Principles

Effective January 1, 2016, we early adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.” The new update simplified the presentation of deferred income taxes and required deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The classification was made at the taxpaying component level of an entity, after reflecting any offset of deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and any related valuation allowances. We applied the amendments prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities (VIE) Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation.” The new standard removes the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standard Codification and the related financial reporting requirements specific to development stage entities. This ASU is intended to reduce cost and complexity of financial reporting for entities that have not commenced planned principal operations. For financial reporting requirements other than the VIE guidance in ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” ASU 2014-10 was effective for annual and quarterly reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2014. For the financial reporting requirements related to VIEs in ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” ASU 2014-10 was effective for annual and quarterly reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted this standard and updated our disclosures about the risks and uncertainties related to our joint venture entities that have not commenced their principal operations.

Note 4— Sweeny Fractionator Acquisition

On February 17, 2016, we entered into a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement (CCAA) with subsidiaries of Phillips 66 to acquire a 25 percent controlling interest in Sweeny Frac LLC for a total consideration of $236 million, consisting of the assumption of a $212 million note payable to a subsidiary of Phillips 66 and the issuance of 412,823 newly issued common units to Phillips 66 Project Development Inc. and 8,425 general partner units to Phillips 66 Partners GP LLC (General Partner) to maintain its 2.0 percent general partner interest. The Sweeny Fractionator Acquisition closed on March 1, 2016, with total transaction costs of $0.9 million expensed as incurred. In connection with the Sweeny Fractionator Acquisition, we entered into various commercial agreements with Phillips 66 and amended the omnibus agreement and the operational services agreement with Phillips 66.

Sweeny Frac LLC is engaged in the business of fractionating and storing NGL through an NGL fractionator and storage caverns:


•	Sweeny NGL Fractionator. A newly constructed NGL fractionator located within Phillips 66's Sweeny refinery complex in Old Ocean, Texas. The Sweeny NGL Fractionator has a processing capacity of 100,000 barrels per day. The NGL fractionator uses distillation to process a raw (Y-grade) NGL stream into its individual purity components, such as propane and butane.


•	Clemens Caverns. A newly constructed underground salt dome NGL storage facility located near Brazoria, Texas. The Clemens Caverns facilitate handling of Y-grade NGL for input into the Sweeny NGL Fractionator, as well as storage of purity NGL products produced by the fractionator.

Table of Contents

Construction activities on the Sweeny NGL Fractionator and Clemens Caverns began in 2013. Commercial operations at the Sweeny NGL Fractionator commenced in December 2015, and commercial operations at the Clemens Caverns commenced in September 2015.

Operating revenues are generated by charging fees based on contracted throughput volumes in the Sweeny NGL Fractionator and storage of NGL at the Clemens Caverns. We do not own any of the NGL handled and do not engage in the trading of NGL.

After the acquisition, Phillips 66 owns:


•	58,761,865 common units representing an aggregate 69.5 percent limited partner interest.


•	1,691,850 general partner units, representing a 2 percent general partner interest.


•	All of the incentive distribution rights (IDRs).

Because the Sweeny Fractionator Acquisition was considered a transfer of businesses between entities under common control, the Acquired Assets were transferred at historical carrying value. The net book value of our 25 percent interest acquired was $283 million at March 1, 2016. Our historical financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the Acquired Assets as if we owned the Acquired Assets for all periods presented.

We consolidate Sweeny Frac LLC as we determined that it is a variable interest entity (VIE) and we are the primary beneficiary. As the general partner of the partnership that owns Sweeny Frac LLC, we have the ability to control its financial interests, as well as the ability to direct the activities of Sweeny Frac LLC that most significantly impact its economic performance. The most significant assets of Sweeny Frac LLC that are available to settle only its obligations are its net PP&E of $1,151.4 million at March 31, 2016.

The following tables present our results of operations and financial position giving effect to the Sweeny Fractionator Acquisition. The combined results of the Acquired Assets prior to the Effective Date are included in “Acquired Assets Predecessor.” The consolidated results of the Acquired Assets after the Effective Date are included in “Phillips 66 Partners LP.” “Net income (loss) attributable to Predecessors” includes earnings of $3.7 million and a loss of $2.0 million attributable to noncontrolling interests in the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. “Net investment—Predecessors” at December 31, 2015, includes $800.2 million attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Note 5—Equity Investments

Bakken Joint Ventures

In January 2015, we closed on agreements with Paradigm Energy Partners, LLC (Paradigm) to form two joint ventures to develop midstream logistics infrastructure in North Dakota. At closing, we contributed our Palermo Rail Terminal project for a 70 percent ownership interest in Phillips 66 Partners Terminal LLC (Phillips 66 Partners Terminal), and $4.9 million in cash for a 50 percent ownership interest in Paradigm Pipeline, LLC (Paradigm Pipeline). We account for both joint ventures under the equity method of accounting due to governance provisions that require supermajority voting on all decisions that significantly impact the governance, management and economic performance of the joint ventures.

As of March 31, 2016, the planned principal operations of Paradigm Pipeline have not commenced. Until the planned principal operations have commenced, Paradigm Pipeline does not have sufficient equity at risk to fully fund the construction of all assets required for principal operations, and thus represents a VIE in which we are not the primary beneficiary. Our maximum exposure to loss represented the carrying value of our investment of $53 million.

Sand Hills/Southern Hills/Explorer Pipeline Joint Ventures

In February 2015, we entered into a CCAA with subsidiaries of Phillips 66 to acquire 100 percent of Phillips 66’s one-third equity interests in DCP Sand Hills Pipeline LLC (Sand Hills) and DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC (Southern Hills) and 19.46 percent equity interest in Explorer Pipeline Company (Explorer). The transaction closed in March 2015. Total consideration for the transaction was $1.01 billion consisting of $880 million in cash, funded by a portion of the proceeds from a public offering of unsecured senior notes and a public offering of common units; in addition, the Partnership issued 1,587,376 common units to Phillips 66 and 139,538 general partner units to our General Partner to maintain its 2 percent interest. Total transaction costs of $0.9 million were expensed as incurred in general and administrative expenses.

Bayou Bridge

In October 2015, we entered into a CCAA with Phillips 66 to acquire its 40 percent interest in Bayou Bridge Pipeline, LLC (Bayou Bridge Pipeline), a joint venture in which Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. and Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (Sunoco Logistics) each hold a 30 percent interest, with Sunoco Logistics serving as the operator. Bayou Bridge Pipeline is developing a pipeline which will deliver crude oil from the Phillips 66 and Sunoco Logistics terminals in Nederland, Texas, to Lake Charles, Louisiana, and onward to St. James, Louisiana.

Total consideration for the transaction, which closed in December 2015, was approximately $69.6 million, consisting of the assumption of a $34.8 million note payable to Phillips 66 that was immediately paid in full; the issuance of 606,056 common units to Phillips 66; and the issuance of 12,369 general partner units of the Partnership to our General Partner to maintain its 2 percent general partner interest.

As of March 31, 2016, the planned principal operations of Bayou Bridge Pipeline had not commenced. Until the planned principal operations have commenced, Bayou Bridge Pipeline does not have sufficient equity at risk to fully fund the construction of all assets required for principal operation, and thus represents a VIE in which we are not the primary beneficiary. Our maximum exposure to loss represented the carrying value of our investment of $92 million. In April 2016, commercial operations commenced on the first segment of the pipeline from Nederland, Texas, to Lake Charles, Louisiana; we will reassess Bayou Bridge Pipeline’s VIE status in the second quarter.

The acquisitions of interests in the Sand Hills, Southern Hills, Explorer and Bayou Bridge Pipeline joint ventures represented transfers of investments between entities under common control. Accordingly, these equity investments were transferred at historical carrying value, but are included in the financial statements prospectively from the effective date of each acquisition.

Notes Payable

On March 1, 2016, the Partnership entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Note with subsidiaries of Phillips 66, pursuant to which the Partnership assumed the obligations under the Note. The Note matures on October 1, 2020, and bears interest at the rate of 3.0 percent per annum. Interest on the Note is payable quarterly, and all principal and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Note is due and payable at maturity. The Note may be paid in whole or in part prior to that date with no penalty, and contains customary default provisions for failure to pay principal or interest.

Note 8—Equity

Common Units Offering

In February 2015, we completed the public offering of an aggregate of 5,250,000 common units representing limited partner interests at a price of $75.50 per common unit (Units Offering). The Partnership received proceeds (net of underwriting discounts) of $384.5 million from the Units Offering. The Partnership utilized a portion of the net proceeds from the Units Offering to partially fund the acquisition of the Sand Hills, Southern Hills and Explorer equity investments and to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We used the remaining proceeds to fund expansion capital expenditures and for general partnership purposes.

Note 9—Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit

Net income per unit applicable to common and subordinated units is computed by dividing these limited partners’ respective interests in net income attributable to the Partnership by the weighted average number of common units and subordinated units, respectively, outstanding for the period. Because we have more than one class of participating securities, we use the two-class method to calculate the net income per unit applicable to the limited partners. The classes of participating securities as of March 31, 2016, included common units, general partner units and incentive distribution rights (IDRs). Basic and diluted net income per unit are the same because we do not have potentially dilutive instruments outstanding for the periods presented.

Net income earned by the Partnership is allocated between the limited partners and the General Partner (including the General Partner’s IDRs) in accordance with our partnership agreement. First, earnings are allocated based on actual cash distributions made to our unitholders, including those attributable to the General Partner’s IDRs. To the extent net income attributable to the Partnership exceeds or is less than cash distributions, this difference is allocated based on the unitholders’ respective ownership percentages, after consideration of any priority allocations of earnings.

When our financial statements are retrospectively adjusted after a dropdown transaction, the earnings of the acquired business or asset, prior to the closing of the transaction, are allocated entirely to our General Partner and presented as net income (loss) attributable to Predecessors. The earnings per unit of our limited partners prior to the close of the transaction do not change as a result of the dropdown. After the closing of a dropdown transaction, the earnings of the acquired business are allocated in accordance with our partnership agreement as previously described.

This distribution is payable May 12, 2016, to unitholders of record as of May 3, 2016.

Note 10—Contingencies

From time to time, lawsuits involving a variety of claims that arise in the ordinary course of business are filed against us. We also may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical, mineral and petroleum substances at various sites. We regularly assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. In the case of all known contingencies (other than those related to income taxes), we accrue a liability when the loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. We do not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. If applicable, we accrue receivables for probable insurance or other third-party recoveries. In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, we use a cumulative probability-weighted loss accrual in cases where sustaining a tax position is less than certain.

Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures. Estimates particularly sensitive to future changes include any contingent liabilities recorded for environmental remediation, tax and legal matters. Estimated future environmental remediation costs are subject to change due to such factors as the uncertain magnitude of cleanup costs, the unknown time and extent of such remedial actions that may be required, and the determination of our liability in proportion to that of other potentially responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.

Environmental

We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. We record accruals for environmental liabilities based on management’s best estimates, using all information that is available at the time. We measure estimates and base liabilities on currently available facts, existing technology, and presently enacted laws and regulations, taking into account stakeholder and business considerations. When measuring environmental liabilities, we also consider our prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites, other companies’ cleanup experience, and data released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or other organizations. We consider unasserted claims in our determination of environmental liabilities, and we accrue them in the period they are both probable and reasonably estimable.

At March 31, 2016, we had $1.6 million of environmental accruals. In the future, we may be involved in additional environmental assessments, cleanups and proceedings.

Legal Proceedings

Under our amended omnibus agreement, Phillips 66 provides certain services for our benefit, including legal support services, and we pay an operational and administrative support fee for these services. Phillips 66’s legal organization applies its knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. The process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables tracking of those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, Phillips 66’s legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. As of March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, we did not have any material accrued contingent liabilities associated with litigation matters.

Table of Contents

Indemnification

Under our amended omnibus agreement, Phillips 66 will indemnify us for certain environmental liabilities, tax liabilities, and litigation and other matters attributable to the ownership or operation of the assets contributed to us in connection with our Initial Public Offering (the Offering) (the Initial Assets) and which arose prior to the closing of the Offering. Indemnification for any unknown environmental liabilities provided therein is limited to liabilities due to occurrences prior to the closing of the Offering and that are identified before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Offering, subject to an aggregate deductible of $0.1 million before we are entitled to indemnification. Indemnification for litigation matters provided therein (other than legal actions pending at the closing of the Offering) is subject to an aggregate deductible of $0.2 million before we are entitled to indemnification. Phillips 66 will also indemnify us under our amended omnibus agreement for failure to obtain certain consents, licenses and permits necessary to conduct our business, including the cost of curing any such condition, in each case that is identified prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Offering, subject to an aggregate deductible of $0.2 million before we are entitled to indemnification. We have agreed to indemnify Phillips 66 for events and conditions associated with the ownership or operation of the Initial Assets that occur on or after the closing of the Offering and for certain environmental liabilities related to the Initial Assets to the extent Phillips 66 is not required to indemnify us.

Excluded Liabilities of Acquired Assets

Pursuant to the terms of the various agreements under which we acquired assets from Phillips 66 since the Offering, Phillips 66 assumed the responsibility for any liabilities arising out of or attributable to the ownership or operation of the assets, or other activities occurring in connection with and attributable to the ownership or operation of the assets, prior to the effective date of each acquisition. We have assumed, and have agreed to pay, discharge and perform as and when due, all liabilities arising out of or attributable to the ownership or operation of the assets, or other activities occurring in connection with and attributable to the ownership or operation of the assets, from and after the effective date of each acquisition.

Note 11—Cash Flow Information

Sweeny Fractionator Acquisition

The Sweeny Fractionator Acquisition was a noncash transaction. The historical book value of the net assets of our 25 percent interest acquired was $283 million. Of this amount, $212 million was attributed to the note payable assumed (a noncash investing and financing activity). The remaining $71 million was attributed to the common and general partner units issued (a noncash investing and financing activity).

Sand Hills, Southern Hills and Explorer Acquisition

Our acquisition of equity investments in Sand Hills, Southern Hills and Explorer had both cash and noncash elements.

We attributed $734.3 million of the total $880.0 million cash consideration paid to the investment balance of the Sand Hills, Southern Hills and Explorer pipeline joint ventures acquired (an investing cash outflow). The remaining $145.7 million of excess cash consideration was deemed a distribution to our General Partner (a financing cash outflow). The common and general partner units issued to Phillips 66 in the transaction were assigned no value, because the cash consideration exceeded the historical net book value of the acquired assets in the transaction. Accordingly, the units issued for these acquisitions had no impact on partner capital balances, other than changing ownership percentages.

Commercial Agreements

In connection with the Offering and subsequent acquisitions from Phillips 66, we entered into multiple commercial agreements with Phillips 66, including transportation services agreements, terminal services agreements, storage services agreements, stevedoring services agreements, a fractionation service agreement and rail terminal services agreements. Under these long-term, fee-based agreements, we provide transportation, terminaling, storage, stevedoring, fractionation and rail terminal services to Phillips 66, and Phillips 66 commits to provide us with minimum quarterly throughput volumes of crude oil, NGL and refined petroleum products or minimum monthly service fees. Under our transportation and terminaling services agreements, if Phillips 66 fails to transport, throughput or store its minimum throughput volume during any quarter, then Phillips 66 will pay us a deficiency payment based on the calculation described in the agreement.

Table of Contents

Amended Operational Services Agreement

Under our amended operational services agreement, we reimburse Phillips 66 for providing certain operational services to us in support of our pipelines, terminaling and storage facilities. These services include routine and emergency maintenance and repair services, routine operational activities, routine administrative services, construction and related services and such other services as we and Phillips 66 may mutually agree upon from time to time.

Amended Omnibus Agreement

The amended omnibus agreement addresses our payment of an annual operating and administrative support fee and our obligation to reimburse Phillips 66 for all other direct or allocated costs and expenses incurred by Phillips 66 in providing general and administrative services. Additionally, the omnibus agreement addresses Phillips 66’s indemnification to us and our indemnification to Phillips 66 for certain environmental and other liabilities related to our Initial Assets, and the prefunding of certain projects by Phillips 66. Further, it addresses the granting of a license from Phillips 66 to us with respect to the use of certain Phillips 66 trademarks.

Tax Sharing Agreement

In connection with the Offering, we entered into a tax sharing agreement with Phillips 66 pursuant to which we will reimburse Phillips 66 for our share of state and local income and other taxes incurred by Phillips 66 as a result of our results of operations being included in a combined or consolidated tax return filed by Phillips 66 with respect to taxable periods including or beginning on or after the closing date of the Offering. The amount of any such reimbursement will be limited to the tax that we (and our subsidiaries) would have paid had we not been included in a combined group with Phillips 66. Phillips 66 may use its tax attributes to cause its combined or consolidated group, of which we may be a member for this purpose, to owe no tax. However, we would nevertheless reimburse Phillips 66 for the tax we would have owed had the attributes not been available or used for our benefit, even though Phillips 66 had no cash expense for that period.

For additional information on our commercial and other agreements with Phillips 66, see our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

*Prior-period financial information has been retrospectively adjusted for acquisitions of businesses under common control.

Currently, we pay Phillips 66 a monthly operational and administrative support fee under the terms of our amended omnibus agreement in the amount of $3.0 million. The operational and administrative support fee is for the provision of certain services, including: executive services; financial and administrative services (including treasury and accounting); information technology; legal services; corporate health, safety and environmental services; facility services; human resources services; procurement services; corporate engineering services, including asset integrity and regulatory services; logistical services; asset oversight, such as operational management and supervision; business development services; investor relations; tax matters; and public company reporting services. We also reimburse Phillips 66 for all other direct or allocated costs incurred on behalf of us, pursuant to the terms of our amended omnibus agreement. The classification of these charges between operating and maintenance expenses and general and administrative expenses is based on the functional nature of the services being performed for our operations. Under our amended operational services agreement, we reimburse Phillips 66 for the provision of certain operational services to us in support of our

pipelines, rail racks and terminaling and storage facilities. Additionally, we pay Phillips 66 for insurance services provided to us. Operating and maintenance expenses also include volumetric gain/loss associated with volumes transported by Phillips 66.

Note 13—Income Taxes

We are not a taxable entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes or for the majority of states that impose an income tax. Taxes on our net income generally are borne by our partners through the allocation of taxable income. Our income tax provision results from laws of states that apply to entities organized as partnerships, primarily Texas.

Our effective tax rate was 0.3 percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, compared with 0.6 percent for the corresponding period of 2015. The decrease in the 2016 three-month period was primarily attributable to a legislated reduction in the Texas margin tax rate.

Note 14—Leases

We are the lessor for transportation service agreements, terminal services agreements, storage services agreements and a fractionation service agreement with Phillips 66 as lessee that are considered operating leases under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Certain of these agreements include escalation clauses to adjust transportation tariffs and terminaling and storage fees to reflect changes in price indices. Revenues from all of these agreements are recorded within “Operating revenues—related parties” on our consolidated statement of income.

As of March 31, 2016, future minimum payments to be received related to these agreements were estimated to be:

Note 15—New Accounting Standards

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, “Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting.” The new standard eliminates the requirement that an investor retroactively apply equity method accounting when an investment that it had accounted for by another method initially qualifies for the equity method. Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2016-07 for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-07 and assessing the impact on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” In the new standard, the FASB modified its determination of whether a contract is a lease rather than whether a lease is a capital or operating lease under the previous GAAP. A contract represents a lease if a transfer of control occurs over an identified property, plant and equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset includes the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct its use. The FASB continued to maintain two classifications of leases - financing and operating - which are substantially similar to capital and operating leases in the previous lease guidance. Under the new standard, recognition of assets and liabilities arising from operating leases will require recognition on the balance sheet. The effect of all leases in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows will be largely unchanged. Lessor accounting will also be largely unchanged. Additional disclosures will be required for financing and operating leases for both lessors and lessees. Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2016-02 for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and assessing its impact on our financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” to meet its objective of providing more decision-useful information about financial instruments. The majority of this ASU’s provisions amend only the presentation or disclosures of financial instruments; however, one provision will also affect net income. Equity investments carried under the cost method or lower of cost or fair value method of accounting, in accordance with current GAAP, will have to be carried at fair value upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, with changes in fair value recorded in net income. For equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, a company may elect to carry such investments at cost less impairments, if any, adjusted up or down for price changes in similar financial instruments issued by the investee, when and if observed. Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2016-01 for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption prohibited. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-01 and assessing the impact on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The new standard converged guidance on recognizing revenues in contracts with customers under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This ASU is intended to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.” The amendment in this ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities for one year. Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Retrospective or modified retrospective application of the accounting standard is required. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and assessing the impact on our financial statements. As part of our assessment work to-date, we have formed an implementation work team, completed training on the new ASU’s revenue recognition model and begun contract review and documentation.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Partnership Overview

Effective March 1, 2016 (the Effective Date), we acquired from Phillips 66 a 25 percent controlling interest in Phillips 66 Sweeny Frac LLC (Sweeny Frac LLC) for total consideration valued at $236 million (the Sweeny Fractionator Acquisition). Sweeny Frac LLC owns an NGL fractionator located within the Phillips 66 Sweeny refinery complex in Old Ocean, Texas (Sweeny NGL Fractionator), and the Clemens Caverns, an NGL salt dome storage facility located near Brazoria, Texas, which are collectively referred to as the Acquired Assets. See Note 4—Sweeny Fractionator Acquisition, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for more information.

We have multiple commercial agreements with Phillips 66, including transportation services agreements, terminal services agreements, storage services agreements, stevedoring services agreements, a fractionation service agreement and rail terminal services agreements. Under these long-term, fee-based agreements, we provide transportation, terminaling, storage, stevedoring, fractionation and rail terminal services to Phillips 66, and Phillips 66 commits to provide us with minimum quarterly throughput volumes of crude oil, NGL and refined petroleum products or minimum monthly service fees. We also have several other agreements with Phillips 66, including an amended omnibus agreement and an operational services agreement. See Note 12—Related Party Transactions, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a summary of these agreements.

Basis of Presentation

See the “Basis of Presentation” section of Note 1—Business and Basis of Presentation, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for important information on the content and comparability of our historical financial statements.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance, including: (1) volumes handled (including pipeline throughput, terminaling throughput and storage volumes); (2) operating and maintenance expenses; (3) net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); (4) adjusted EBITDA; and (5) distributable cash flow.

Volumes Handled

The amount of revenue we generate primarily depends on the volumes of crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL that we handle in our pipeline, terminal, rail rack, and storage systems and our NGL fractionator system. In addition, our equity affiliates generate revenue from transporting NGL and refined petroleum products. These volumes are primarily affected by the supply of, and demand for, NGL, crude oil and refined petroleum products in the markets served directly or indirectly by our assets, as well as the operational status of the refineries served by our assets. Phillips 66 has committed to minimum throughput volumes under many of our commercial agreements.

Operating and Maintenance Expenses

Our management seeks to maximize the profitability of our operations by effectively managing operating and maintenance expenses. These expenses primarily consist of labor expenses (including contractor services), utility costs, and repair and maintenance expenses. These expenses remain relatively stable across broad ranges of throughput volumes, but can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of activities, particularly maintenance activities, performed during that period. Although we seek to manage our maintenance expenditures on our pipelines, terminals, rail racks, fractionator and storage facilities to avoid significant variability in our quarterly cash flows, we balance this approach with our high standards of safety and environmental stewardship, such that critical maintenance is performed regularly.

Our operating and maintenance expenses are also affected by volumetric gains/losses resulting from variances in meter readings and other measurement methods, as well as volume fluctuations due to pressure and temperature changes. Under certain commercial agreements with Phillips 66, the value of any crude oil, refined petroleum product or NGL volumetric gain/loss is determined by reference to the monthly average reference price for the applicable commodity. Any gains or losses under these provisions decrease or increase, respectively, our operating and maintenance expenses in the period in which they are realized. These contractual volumetric gain/loss provisions could increase variability in our operating and maintenance expenses.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization attributable to both the Partnership and our Predecessors.

Adjusted EBITDA is the EBITDA directly attributable to the Partnership after deducting the EBITDA attributable to our Predecessors and noncontrolling interests, adjusted for:


•	The difference between cash distributions received and equity earnings from our affiliates.


•	Transaction costs associated with acquisitions.


•	Certain other noncash items, including expenses indemnified by Phillips 66.

Distributable cash flow is generally defined as adjusted EBITDA less net interest, maintenance capital expenditures and income taxes paid, plus adjustments for deferred revenue impacts and prefunded maintenance capital expenditures.

Table of Contents

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are not presentations made in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may find useful to assess:


•	Our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, financing methods.


•	The ability of our business to generate sufficient cash to support our decision to make distributions to our unitholders.


•	Our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.


•	The viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

The GAAP performance measure most directly comparable to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow is net income. The GAAP liquidity measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and distributable cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income or net cash provided by operating activities. They have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Business Environment

Our throughput volumes depend primarily on the volume of crude oil processed and refined petroleum products produced at Phillips 66’s owned or operated refineries with which our assets are integrated, which in turn is primarily dependent on Phillips 66’s refining margins and maintenance schedules. Refining margins depend on the cost of crude oil or other feedstocks and the price of refined petroleum products. These prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our or Phillips 66’s control, including the domestic and global supply of and demand for crude oil and refined petroleum products. Our equity investment throughput volumes depend primarily on upstream drilling activities, refinery performance and product supply and demand.

While we believe we have substantially mitigated our indirect exposure to commodity price fluctuations through the minimum volume commitments in our commercial agreements with Phillips 66 during the respective terms of those agreements, our ability to execute our growth strategy in our areas of operation will depend, in part, on the availability of attractively priced crude oil in the areas served by our crude oil pipelines and rail racks, demand for refined petroleum products in the markets served by our refined petroleum product pipelines and terminals, and the general demand for midstream services, including NGL transportation and fractionation.

Minimum Volume Commitments

Under certain of our transportation services agreements, if Phillips 66 fails to transport a minimum throughput volume during any quarter, then Phillips 66 will pay us a deficiency payment based on the calculation described in the agreement. Billings to Phillips 66 for these shortfall volumes are initially recorded as “Deferred revenues—related parties” on our consolidated balance sheet, as Phillips 66 generally has the right to make up the shortfall volumes in the following four quarters. The deferred revenue is recognized at the earlier of the quarter in which Phillips 66 makes up the shortfall volumes or the expiration of the period in which Phillips 66 is contractually allowed to make up the shortfall volumes.

Detail on these deferred revenues follows:

Statement of Income Analysis

Operating revenues increased $32.3 million, or 51 percent, in the first quarter of 2016. The increase was mainly attributable to a full quarter of Sweeny NGL Fractionator and Clemens Caverns operations, which fully commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Equity in earnings of affiliates increased $18.7 million in the first quarter of 2016, mainly due to a full quarter of earnings from our equity interests in Sand Hills, Southern Hills and Explorer pipeline companies, which we acquired on March 2, 2015.

The increases in operating and maintenance expenses, depreciation and taxes other than income taxes are all primarily due to the impact of a full quarter’s commercial operation of the Sweeny NGL Fractionator and the Clemens Caverns in the first quarter of 2016. These assets were under construction during the first quarter of 2015.

Interest and debt expense increased $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to a higher average debt principal balance as a result of the note payable to subsidiaries of Phillips 66 assumed in March 2016 and the issuance of $1.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes in February 2015. See Note 7—Debt, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.

Table of Contents

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Significant Sources of Capital

Our sources of liquidity include cash generated from operations, borrowings from related parties and under our revolving credit facility, and issuances of additional debt and equity securities. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements and long-term capital expenditure requirements, and make our quarterly cash distributions.

Operating Activities

Our operations generated $66.7 million in cash from operations during the first three months of 2016, an improvement over cash from operations of $29.7 million for the corresponding period of 2015. The improvement was mainly driven by earnings from the Sweeny NGL Fractionator, which became operational in December 2015. This increase was partially offset by higher operating and maintenance expenses and working capital impacts.

Senior Notes

In February 2015, we issued, through a public offering, $1.1 billion of debt consisting of:


•	$300 million of 2.646% Senior Notes due February 15, 2020.


•	$500 million of 3.605% Senior Notes due February 15, 2025.


•	$300 million of 4.680% Senior Notes due February 15, 2045.

Total proceeds (net of underwriting discounts) received from the Notes Offering were $1,092.0 million. We utilized a portion of the net proceeds to partially fund the acquisition of the Sand Hills, Southern Hills and Explorer equity investments. In addition, we used a portion of the proceeds to repay three notes payable to a subsidiary of Phillips 66. Interest on each series of senior notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2015. Our senior unsecured long-term debt has been rated investment grade by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (BBB) and Moody’s Investor Services (Baa3).

Common Units

In February 2015, we issued an aggregate of 5,250,000 common units representing limited partner interests to the public at a price of $75.50 per common unit. We received proceeds (net of underwriting discounts) from the Units Offering of $384.5 million. We utilized a portion of the net proceeds from the Units Offering to partially fund the acquisition of the Sand Hills, Southern Hills and Explorer equity investments and to repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit agreement. We used the remaining proceeds to fund expansion capital expenditures and for general partnership purposes.

Notes Payable

On March 1, 2016, the Partnership entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Note with subsidiaries of Phillips 66, pursuant to which the Partnership assumed the obligations under the Note. The Note matures on October 1, 2020, and bears interest at the rate of 3.0 percent per annum. Interest on the Note is payable quarterly and all principal and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Note is due and payable at maturity. The Note may be paid in whole or in part prior to that date with no penalty, and contains customary default provisions for failure to pay principal or interest.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that would result in off-balance sheet liabilities.

Capital Requirements

Capital Expenditures and Investments

Our operations can be capital intensive, requiring investments to expand, upgrade, maintain or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational requirements of our wholly owned and joint venture entities. Our capital requirements consist of maintenance capital expenditures and expansion capital expenditures, including contributions to our joint ventures. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are those made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets, to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and to extend their useful lives, or other capital expenditures that are incurred in maintaining existing system volumes and related cash flows. In contrast, expansion capital expenditures are those made to expand and upgrade our systems and facilities and to construct or acquire new systems or facilities to grow our business, including contributions to joint ventures that are using the contributed funds for such purposes.

Our capital expenditures and investments for the first three months of 2016 and 2015 were:

Maintenance	1.2		1.7
Total capital expenditures and investments	$	57.0	213.0

*Prior-period financial information has been retrospectively adjusted for acquisitions of businesses under common control.

Our capital expenditures and investments for the first three months of 2016 were $57.0 million, primarily associated with the following activities:


•	Contributions to our Sand Hills joint venture.


•	Increased storage capacity at Clemens Caverns.


•	Construction of a 200 MB tank with connection to the Hartford Connector and Explorer Mainline.


•	Construction of the segment of the Bayou Bridge pipeline from the Phillips 66 Beaumont terminal to our Clifton Ridge Terminal. In April 2016, commercial operations commenced on this segment of the pipeline.

Cash Distribution

On April 20, 2016, the Board of Directors of our General Partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.481 per common unit which, combined with distributions to our General Partner, will result in a total distribution of $55.5 million, payable on May 12, 2016, to unitholders of record as of May 3, 2016.

Cash distributions will be made to our General Partner in respect of its two percent general partner interest and its ownership of all incentive distribution rights (IDRs), which entitle our General Partner to receive increasing percentages, up to 50 percent, of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.244375 per unit. Accordingly, based on the per-unit distribution declared on April 20, 2016, our General Partner will receive approximately 28 percent of the total cash distributions for the first quarter.

Table of Contents

Contingencies

Regulatory Matters

Our interstate common carrier crude oil and refined petroleum products pipeline operations are subject to rate regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under the Interstate Commerce Act and Energy Policy Act of 1992, and certain of our pipeline systems providing intrastate service are subject to rate regulation by applicable state authorities under their respective laws and regulations. Our pipeline, rail rack and terminal operations are also subject to safety regulations adopted by the Department of Transportation, as well as to state regulations.

Legal and Tax Matters

Under our amended omnibus agreement, Phillips 66 provides certain services for our benefit, including legal and tax support services, and we pay an operational and administrative support fee for these services. Phillips 66’s legal and tax organizations apply their knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases and uncertain tax positions. Phillips 66’s legal organization employs a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. The process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables tracking of those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, Phillips 66’s legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and determines if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. As of March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, we did not have any material accrued contingent liabilities associated with litigation matters. In the case of income-tax-related contingencies, Phillips 66’s tax organization monitors tax legislation and court decisions, the status of tax audits and the statute of limitations within which a taxing authority can assert a liability.

Environmental

We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These requirements, which change frequently, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relate to protection of the environment. Compliance with these laws and regulations may require us to remediate environmental damage from any discharge of petroleum or chemical substances from our facilities or require us to install additional pollution control equipment at or on our facilities. Our failure to comply with these or any other environmental or safety-related regulations could result in the assessment of administrative, civil, or criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory and remedial liabilities, and the issuance of governmental orders that may subject us to additional operational constraints. Future expenditures may be required to comply with the Clean Air Act and other federal, state and local requirements in respect of our various sites, including our pipelines and storage assets. The impact of legislative and regulatory developments, if enacted or adopted, could result in increased compliance costs and additional operating restrictions on our business, each of which could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Table of Contents

As with all costs, if these expenditures are not ultimately reflected in the tariffs and other fees we receive for our services, our operating results will be adversely affected. We believe that substantially all similarly situated parties and holders of comparable assets must comply with similar environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on each may vary depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the age and location of its operating facilities.

We accrue for environmental remediation activities when the responsibility to remediate is probable and the amount of associated costs can be reasonably estimated. As environmental remediation matters proceed toward ultimate resolution or as additional remediation obligations arise, charges in excess of those previously accrued may be required. New or expanded environmental requirements, which could increase our environmental costs, may arise in the future. We believe we are in substantial compliance with all legal requirements regarding the environment; however, it is not possible to predict all of the ultimate costs of compliance, including remediation costs that may be incurred and penalties that may be imposed, because not all of the costs are fixed or presently determinable (even under existing legislation) and the costs may be affected by future legislation or regulations.

At both March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, we had $1.6 million of environmental accruals. In the future, we may be involved in additional environmental assessments, cleanups and proceedings.

Indemnification

Under our amended omnibus agreement, Phillips 66 will indemnify us for certain environmental liabilities, tax liabilities, and litigation and other matters attributable to the ownership or operation of the assets contributed to us in connection with our Initial Public Offering (the Offering) (the Initial Assets) and which arose prior to the closing of the Offering. Indemnification for any unknown environmental liabilities provided therein is limited to liabilities due to occurrences prior to the closing of the Offering and that are identified before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Offering, subject to an aggregate deductible of $0.1 million before we are entitled to indemnification. Indemnification for litigation matters provided therein (other than legal actions pending at the closing of the Offering) is subject to an aggregate deductible of $0.2 million before we are entitled to indemnification. Phillips 66 will also indemnify us under the amended omnibus agreement for failure to obtain certain consents, licenses and permits necessary to conduct our business, including the cost of curing any such condition, in each case that is identified prior to the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Offering, subject to an aggregate deductible of $0.2 million before we are entitled to indemnification. We have agreed to indemnify Phillips 66 for events and conditions associated with the ownership or operation of the Initial Assets that occur on or after the closing of the Offering and for certain environmental liabilities related to the Initial Assets to the extent Phillips 66 is not required to indemnify us.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Commodity Price Risk

Our commodity price risk at March 31, 2016, did not differ materially from that disclosed under Item 7A of our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Interest Rate Risk

In connection with the Sweeny Fractionator Acquisition, on March 1, 2016, we assumed a $212 million note payable to a subsidiary of Phillips 66 that bears interest at a fixed rate of 3 percent per annum. Because the note has a fixed rate, its fair value is sensitive to changes in U.S. interest rates. The following table presents the principal cash flow and associated interest rates of this note by its expected maturity dates, as of March 31, 2016. We estimated the fair value using quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our General Partner’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of March 31, 2016, our General Partner’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of the General Partner’s management, carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Act, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Act). Based upon that evaluation, our General Partner’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of March 31, 2016.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act, in the quarterly period ended March 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Although we are, from time to time, involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, we are not a party to any litigation or governmental or other proceeding that we believe will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. In addition, under our amended omnibus agreement, Phillips 66 indemnifies us, subject to an aggregate deductible of no more than $0.2 million, for liabilities relating to litigation and environmental matters attributable to the ownership or operation of the assets contributed to us in connection with our Initial Public Offering (the Offering) prior to the closing of the Offering. Pursuant to the terms of the various agreements under which we acquired assets from Phillips 66 since the Offering (the Acquired Assets), Phillips 66 assumed the responsibility for liabilities relating to litigation and environmental matters attributable to the ownership and operation of the Acquired Assets prior to our acquisition of those assets.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
