The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (MIC) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere herein.
MIC is a Delaware corporation formed on May 21, 2015. MICs predecessor, Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, was formed on April 13, 2004. Except as otherwise specified, all references in this Form 10-Q to MIC, we, us, and our refer to Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation and its subsidiaries.
MIC is externally managed by Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc. (our Manager), pursuant to the terms of a Management Services Agreement, that is subject to the oversight and supervision of our Board of Directors. The majority of the members of our Board of Directors, and each member of all Board Committees, is independent and has no affiliation with Macquarie. Our Manager is a member of the Macquarie Group of companies comprising the Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. Macquarie Group Limited is headquartered in Australia and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
We currently own and operate a diversified portfolio of businesses that provide services to other businesses, government agencies and individuals primarily in the U.S. The businesses we own and operate are organized into four segments:
| International-Matex Tank Terminals (IMTT): a business providing bulk liquid terminalling to third parties at 17 terminals in the U.S. and two in Canada; |
| Atlantic Aviation: a provider of fuel, terminal, aircraft hangaring and other services primarily to owners and operators of general aviation (GA) jet aircraft at 70 airports throughout the U.S.; |
| Contracted Power: comprising electricity generating assets including a gas-fired facility and controlling interests in wind and solar facilities in the U.S.; and |
| MIC Hawaii: comprising an energy company that processes and distributes gas and provides related services (Hawaii Gas) and several smaller businesses collectively engaged in efforts to reduce the cost and improve the reliability and sustainability of energy in Hawaii. |
Our businesses generally operate in sectors with barriers to entry including high initial development and construction costs, long-term contracts or the requirement to obtain government approvals and a lack of immediate cost-effective alternatives to the services provided. Collectively, they tend to generate sustainable, stable and growing cash flows over the long-term.
In addition to our results under U.S. GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures to assess the performance and prospects of our businesses. In particular, we use EBITDA excluding non-cash items, Free Cash Flow and certain proportionately combined financial metrics. Proportionately combined financial metrics reflect our proportionate interest in our wind and solar facilities.
We measure EBITDA excluding non-cash items as it reflects our businesses ability to effectively manage the volume of products sold or services provided, the operating margin earned on those transactions and the management of operating expenses independent of the capitalization and tax attributes of those businesses.
In analyzing the financial performance of our businesses, we focus primarily on cash generation and Free Cash Flow in particular. We believe investors use Free Cash Flow as a measure of our ability to sustain and potentially increase our quarterly cash dividend and to fund a portion of our growth.
1
See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) excluding non-cash items, Free Cash Flow and Proportionately Combined Metrics for further information on our calculation of EBITDA excluding non-cash items, Free Cash Flow and our proportionately combined metrics and for reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.
At IMTT, we focus on providing bulk liquid storage, handling and other services to customers who place a premium on ease of access and operational flexibility. The substantial majority of IMTTs revenue is generated pursuant to take-or-pay contracts of varying maturities providing access to storage tank capacity and ancillary services.
At Atlantic Aviation, our focus is on attracting and maintaining relationships with GA aircraft owners and pilots and encouraging them to purchase fuel and other services from our fixed based operations (FBOs). Atlantic Aviations gross margin is correlated with the number of GA flight movements in the U.S. and the business ability to service a portion of the aircraft involved in those operations.
The businesses that comprise our Contracted Power segment generate revenue by producing and selling electric power pursuant primarily to long-dated power purchase agreements (PPAs) or tolling agreements all with creditworthy off-takers.
MIC Hawaii comprises Hawaii Gas and several smaller businesses collectively engaged in efforts to reduce the cost and improve the reliability and sustainability of energy in Hawaii. The businesses of MIC Hawaii generate revenue primarily from the provision of gas services to commercial, residential and governmental customers, the generation of power and the design and construction of building mechanical systems.
Since January 1, 2017, MIC has paid or declared the following dividends:

We currently intend to maintain, and where possible, increase our quarterly cash dividend to our shareholders. The MIC Board has authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $1.00 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. MIC has been structured to provide investors with an opportunity to generate an attractive total return and we intend to distribute the majority of the cash generated from operations by our businesses as a quarterly dividend.
Our board of directors regularly reviews our dividend policy and payout ratio. In determining whether to adjust the amount of our quarterly dividend, our board will take into account such matters as the state of the capital markets and general business and economic conditions, the Companys financial condition, results of operations, indebtedness levels, capital requirements, capital opportunities and any contractual, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Company to its stockholders or by its subsidiaries to the Company, and any other factors that it deems relevant, subject to maintaining a prudent level of reserves and without creating undue volatility in the amount of such dividends where possible. Moreover, the Companys senior secured credit facility and the debt commitments at our businesses contain restrictions that may limit the Companys ability to pay dividends. Although historically we have declared cash dividends on our shares, any or all of these or other factors could result in the modification of our dividend policy, or the reduction, modification or elimination of our dividend in the future.
2
We are exploring the potential sale of a portion or all of Bayonne Energy Center (BEC), a business within the Contracted Power segment. If an agreement for a sale can be reached, it is possible that such a transaction could be concluded before the end of 2018. We are also undertaking a review of strategic options available to us with respect to certain other, smaller businesses in our portfolio and after quarter end, we completed the sale of OMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (OMI), an environmental response subsidiary of IMTT. We may, as a result of this review, undertake to sell, or otherwise divest of other businesses, although we cannot assure you as to whether, or on what terms, any such transaction will occur. We currently anticipate that proceeds, if any, from such sales would be available to support investment in any of the businesses or segments in which we currently operate or to reduce indebtedness as we and our board of directors may deem appropriate.
In 2017, we completed the development of our shared service center to consolidate common back office functions across our businesses. We use an efforts model to allocate costs incurred by our shared service center to each of MICs operating segments and Corporate and Other based on the allocable effort deployed in delivering those services to that particular segment. These costs are reflected in Selling, general and administrative expenses.
To date, we have realized approximately $11.0 million of savings from our shared services center, of which approximately 65% is procurement related and 35% is headcount-related. These headcount reductions have been partially offset by Selling, general and administrative expenses increases associated with acquisitions that were completed in 2017 and 2018 as well as additional functionality that we have added to our shared service center in areas such as legal and procurement. Savings from our procurement initiative will be reflected in a reduction in Costs of services and Cost of products sold, Selling, general and administrative expenses and capital expenditures and may not be evenly allocated to any individual operating segment.
Our consolidated results of operations for the quarter demonstrate the importance of maintaining a suitably diversified portfolio of infrastructure businesses and investing prudently in the growth of those businesses. An expected decrease in the contribution to our overall results from our IMTT business was largely offset by strong performance by Atlantic Aviation and Contracted Power businesses resulting in the generation of EBITDA excluding non-cash items that were broadly flat year over year.
The decreased contribution from IMTT reflected the non-renewal of certain contracts for bulk liquid storage and handling services in late 2017 and early 2018, partially offset by contributions from an acquisition in 2017. Atlantic Aviation performed well versus the prior comparable period as a result of increases in GA flight activity, contributions from acquisitions of additional FBOs in 2017 and the operational leverage inherent in the business.
Results for Contracted Power were better than anticipated, driven by favorable weather conditions with respect to BEC and improved operations of certain of our renewable power generation assets from better resourcing and the internalization of the oversight of operations. MIC Hawaiis results were below expectations primarily as a result of cost increases at Hawaii Gas and underperformance by our design-build mechanical contractor.
Our financial performance versus the prior comparable period reflects the absence of implementation costs related to shared services and the related benefit of reductions in procurement.
Capital deployed in 2017, including into various acquisitions, contributed to our overall results in the first quarter as expected. Acquisitions by each of IMTT and Atlantic Aviation performed in line with their respective investment cases while investment in significant projects, such as the development of additional power generation capability at BEC, are expected to contribute in the second and subsequent quarters.

(1) | Interest expense includes gains on derivative instruments of $15.1 million and $954,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. |
Consolidated revenues increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily as a result of, (i) an increase in the wholesale cost and the volume of jet fuel sold at Atlantic Aviation; (ii) an increase in revenue from our mechanical contracting business and an increase in the wholesale cost and volume of gas sold at MIC Hawaii; (iii) improved operations and utilization at our Contracted Power businesses; and, (iv) contributions from acquisitions.
4
Consolidated cost of services and product sales increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to, (i) an increase in the wholesale cost of jet fuel at Atlantic Aviation; (ii) the increase in the wholesale cost of gas and lower margins at MIC Hawaii; and, (iii) incremental costs associated with acquired operations. The changes in consolidated cost of services and product sales also reflect lower unrealized losses on commodity hedges at Hawaii Gas compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 (see Results of Operations MIC Hawaii below).
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to incremental costs associated with acquired businesses and increases in salaries and benefits. The increase was partially offset by the absence of costs incurred in connection with the implementation of our shared services center.
Our Manager is entitled to a monthly base management fee based primarily on our market capitalization and potentially a quarterly performance fee based on total stockholder returns relative to a U.S. utilities index. For the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we incurred base management fees of $12.9 million and $18.2 million, respectively. No performance fees were generated in either period. The unpaid portion of base management fees and performance fees, if any, at the end of each reporting period is included in the line item Due to Manager-related party in our consolidated condensed balance sheets.
In all of the periods shown below, our Manager elected to reinvest any fees to which it was entitled in additional shares. In accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement, our Manager has currently elected to reinvest future base management fees and performance fees, if any, in new primary shares.

Depreciation expense increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to contributions from acquisitions and assets placed in service.

Interest expense includes gains on derivative instruments of $15.1 million and $954,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Gains and losses on derivatives recorded in interest expense are attributable to the change in fair value of interest rate hedging instruments. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $29.8 million and $25.9 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase reflects primarily higher average debt balances and an increase in the weighted average interest rate. See discussions of interest expense for each of our operating businesses below.
We file a consolidated federal income tax return that includes the financial results for IMTT, Atlantic Aviation, BEC, MIC Hawaii and our allocable share of the taxable income (loss) from our wind and solar facilities. The wind and solar facilities in which we have less than 100% equity interests are held by limited liability companies treated as partnerships for tax purposes. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, the businesses included in our consolidated federal income tax return, pay MIC an amount equal to the federal income tax each would have paid on a standalone basis as if they were not part of the consolidated federal income tax return. In addition, our businesses also file income tax returns in the jurisdictions in which they operate.
For the year ending December 31, 2018, we expect any consolidated federal income tax liability our businesses may generate to be fully offset by net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards. Our federal NOL balance at December 31, 2017 was $347.3 million. We believe that we will be able to utilize all of our federal prior year NOLs and, together with planned tax strategies, we do not expect to make material regular federal income tax payments, with our current portfolio of businesses, any earlier than 2020.
For the year ending December 31, 2018, we expect current year federal taxable income to be approximately $55.0 million and we expect our businesses collectively to pay state or provincial income taxes of approximately $13.5 million. In calculating our consolidated state income tax provision, we have provided a valuation allowance for certain state income tax NOLs, the use of which is uncertain.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law on December 22, 2017 includes provisions that will have an impact on our federal taxable income. The most significant of these are 100% bonus depreciation on qualifying assets (which is scheduled to decrease ratably to 0% between 2023 and 2027) and a reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also includes a new limitation on the deductibility of net interest expense that generally limits the deduction to 30% of adjusted taxable income. For years before 2022, adjusted taxable income is defined as taxable income computed without regard to certain items, including net business interest expense, the amount of any NOL deduction, tax depreciation and tax amortization. We do not expect to incur net interest expense that is greater than adjusted taxable income prior to 2022.
The increase in loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 is primarily driven by the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on certain partnership entities within the Contracted Power segment.
In addition to our results under U.S. GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures to assess the performance and prospects of our businesses. In particular, we use EBITDA excluding non-cash items, Free Cash Flow and certain proportionately combined financial metrics. Proportionately combined financial metrics reflect our proportionate interest in our wind and solar facilities.
6
We measure EBITDA excluding non-cash items as it reflects our businesses ability to effectively manage the volume of products sold or services provided, the operating margin earned on those transactions and the management of operating expenses independent of the capitalization and tax attributes of those businesses. We believe investors use EBITDA excluding non-cash items primarily as a measure of the operating performance of MICs businesses and to make comparisons with the operating performance of other businesses whose depreciation and amortization expense may vary widely from ours, particularly where acquisitions and other non-operating factors are involved. We define EBITDA excluding non-cash items as net income (loss) or earnings the most comparable GAAP measure before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash items including impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, adjustments for other non-cash items and pension expense reflected in the statements of operations. EBITDA excluding non-cash items also excludes base management fees and performance fees, if any, whether paid in cash or stock.
Given our varied ownership levels in our Contracted Power and MIC Hawaii segments, together with our obligations to report the results of these businesses on a consolidated basis, GAAP measures such as net income (loss) do not fully reflect all of the items we consider in assessing the amount of cash generated based on our proportionate interest in our wind and solar facilities. We note that the proportionately combined metrics used may be calculated in a different manner by other companies and may limit their usefulness as a comparative measure. Therefore, proportionately combined metrics should be used as a supplemental measure and not in lieu of our financial results reported under GAAP.
Our businesses are characteristically owners of high-value, long-lived assets capable of generating substantial Free Cash Flow. We define Free Cash Flow as cash from operating activities the most comparable GAAP measure which includes cash paid for interest, taxes and pension contributions, less maintenance capital expenditures, which includes principal repayments on capital lease obligations used to fund maintenance capital expenditures, and excluding changes in working capital.
We use Free Cash Flow as a measure of our ability to provide investors with an attractive risk-adjusted total return by sustaining and potentially increasing our quarterly cash dividend and funding a portion of our growth. GAAP metrics such as net income (loss) do not provide us with the same level of visibility into the performance and prospects of the business as a result of: (i) the capital intensive nature of our businesses and the generation of non-cash depreciation and amortization; (ii) shares issued to our external Manager under the Management Services Agreement; (iii) our ability to defer all or a portion of current federal income taxes; (iv) non-cash unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments; (v) amortization of tolling liabilities; (vi) gains (losses) on disposal of assets; and (vii) pension expenses. Pension expenses primarily consist of interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial and performance gains and losses. Any cash contributions to pension plans are reflected as a reduction to Free Cash Flow and are not included in pension expense. We believe that external consumers of our financial statements, including investors and research analysts, use Free Cash Flow both to assess MICs performance and as an indicator of its success in generating an attractive risk-adjusted total return.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have disclosed Free Cash Flow on a consolidated basis and for each of our operating segments and MIC Corporate. We believe that both EBITDA excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow support a more complete and accurate understanding of the financial and operating performance of our businesses than would otherwise be achieved using GAAP results alone.
Free Cash Flow does not take into consideration required payments on indebtedness and other fixed obligations or other cash items that are excluded from our definition of Free Cash Flow. We note that Free Cash Flow may be calculated differently by other companies thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Free Cash Flow should be used as a supplemental measure and not in lieu of our financial results reported under GAAP.
7
We categorize capital expenditures as either maintenance capital expenditures or growth capital expenditures. As neither maintenance capital expenditure nor growth capital expenditure is a GAAP term, we have adopted a framework to categorize specific capital expenditures. In broad terms, maintenance capital expenditures primarily maintain our businesses at current levels of operations, capability, profitability or cash flow, while growth capital expenditures primarily provide new or enhanced levels of operations, capability, profitability or cash flows. We consider a number of factors in determining whether a specific capital expenditure will be classified as maintenance or growth.
We do not bifurcate specific capital expenditures into maintenance and growth components. Each discrete capital expenditure is considered within the above framework and the entire capital expenditure is classified as either maintenance or growth.
A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA excluding non-cash items and a reconciliation from cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow, on a consolidated basis, is provided below. Similar reconciliations for each of our operating businesses and MIC Corporate follow.

IMTT recorded financial results for the first quarter of 2018 that reflect an expected decline in storage capacity utilization levels, partially offset by contributions from an acquisition in 2017. During the first quarter, the decline was principally the result of previously disclosed non-renewals of certain contracts for storage and handling involving a portion of the business heavy and residual oil capacity on the Lower Mississippi River. Contract non-renewals, inclusive of a small number of contracts involving clean refined products in the New York Harbor, reduced capacity utilization to an average 88.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with 96.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and utilization of 90.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. Given some customers for certain petroleum products are renewing contracts for short durations, this will increase the frequency with which contracts are renewed.
IMTT is currently both involved in and evaluating opportunities related to:
| Tank Repurposing: cleaning and repurposing approximately 3.0 million barrels of primarily heavy and residual oil capacity on the Lower Mississippi River to increase exposure to growth product segments; |
| Enhancing Connectivity: investing in truck, pipeline, marine and rail infrastructure that will enhance supply chain efficiencies for its customers and provide better integration with IMTTs facilities; and |
| Terminal Repositioning: leveraging IMTTs existing geographic footprint to selectively increase capacity to meet customer demand and further diversify product mix (i.e. chemical and tropical oil). |
9
The successful implementation of these initiatives is, over time, expected to, (i) improve utilization and pricing, (ii) increase exposure to growth markets, (iii) generate a larger proportion of IMTTs revenue from longer-dated contracts, and (iv) reduce IMTTs heavy and residual oil capacity.

IMTT generates the majority of its revenue from contracts typically comprising a fixed monthly charge (that typically escalates annually with inflation) for access to or use of its infrastructure and land. We refer to revenue generated from such contracts or fixed charges as firm commitments. Firm commitments are generally of medium term duration and at March 31, 2018, had a revenue weighted average remaining life of 2.2 years. Revenue from firm commitments comprised 77.0% of total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
10
For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, total revenue increased by $572,000 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to contribution from an acquisition, the recognition of deferred revenue resulting from customer cleaning obligations upon contract expiration and higher heating revenues as a result of colder weather in the Northeast. The increase in revenue is partially offset by lower utilization and average storage rates and lower revenue generated from spill response activity.
Cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses combined increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The increase was primarily the result of incremental costs from an acquisition and increased repair and maintenance expenses. These increases in costs were partially offset by lower costs related to spill response activity.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to incremental expense associated with an acquisition.
Interest expense includes gains on derivative instruments of $4.0 million and $521,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $11.4 million and $9.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase reflects primarily higher average debt balances and a higher average cost of debt.
The interest rate on IMTTs tax-exempt Gulf Opportunity Zone Bonds (GO Zone Bonds) increased by 0.6% in 2018 as a result of the reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
The taxable income generated by IMTT is reported on our consolidated federal income tax return. The business files state or provincial income tax returns in the jurisdictions in which it operates. For the year ending December 31, 2018, the business expects to pay state and provincial income taxes of approximately $4.8 million. The Provision for current income taxes of $4.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 in the above table includes $2.3 million of federal income tax expense and $2.0 million of state and provincial income tax expense. Any current federal income tax payable is expected to be offset in consolidation with the application of NOLs at the MIC holding company level.
The majority of the difference between IMTTs book and federal taxable income relates to depreciation of terminal fixed assets. For book purposes, these fixed assets are depreciated primarily over 5 to 30 years using the straight-line method of depreciation. For federal income tax purposes, these fixed assets are depreciated primarily over 5 to 15 years using accelerated methods. In addition, most terminal fixed assets placed in service between 2012 through 2017 qualify for the federal bonus tax depreciation. A significant portion of Louisiana terminal fixed assets constructed in the period after Hurricane Katrina were financed with GO Zone Bonds. GO Zone Bond financed assets are depreciated, for tax purposes, primarily over 9 to 20 years using the straight-line depreciation method. Most of the states in which the business operates do not allow the use of bonus tax depreciation. However, Louisiana allows the use of bonus depreciation except for assets financed with GO Zone Bonds.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, IMTT incurred maintenance capital expenditures of $7.0 million and $6.4 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, compared with $2.5 million and $5.3 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The increase for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 is primarily as a result of the timing of tank inspections and repairs. Maintenance capital expenditure for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 also includes approximately $1.0 million of capital expenditure associated with repurposing existing tanks. In 2018, IMTT anticipates spending up to $15.0 million in maintenance capital expenditure on repurposing existing tanks in addition to the $20.0 million to $25.0 million of recurring capital expenditure.
11
Industry-wide, domestic GA take-offs and landings increased by 2.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 according to data reported by the FAA. GA take-off and landings at airports on which Atlantic Aviation operates increased by 0.7% during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The modest increase in flight activity at airports on which Atlantic Aviation operates reflects primarily decreased traffic at Santa Monica Municipal Airport in Santa Monica, CA as a result of the shortening of the runway and decreased traffic into West Palm Beach Airport in West Palm Beach, FL due to temporary flight restrictions. Flight activity at the remainder of the airports on which Atlantic Aviation operates increased by 2.1% during the quarter.
Atlantic Aviation seeks to extend FBO leases prior to their maturity to improve our visibility into the cash generating capacity of these assets. Atlantic Aviation calculates a weighted average remaining lease life based on EBITDA excluding non-cash items in the prior calendar year adjusted for the impact of acquisitions/dispositions. The weighted average remaining lease life was 20.1 years at March 31, 2018 compared with 19.4 years at March 31, 2017. Notwithstanding the passage of one year, the length of the remaining lease life increased as a result of acquisitions and successful extensions of certain leaseholds.

Atlantic Aviation generates a significant portion of its revenue from sales of jet fuel. Accordingly, revenue can fluctuate based on the cost of jet fuel to Atlantic Aviation and reported revenue may not reflect the business ability to effectively manage volume and price. For example, an increase in revenue may be attributable to an increase in the cost of the jet fuel and not an increase in the volume sold or price per gallon to the customer. Conversely, a decline in revenue may be attributable to a decrease in the cost of jet fuel and not a reduction in the volume sold or price.
Gross margin, which we define as revenue less cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, is the effective top line for Atlantic Aviation as it is reflective of the business ability to drive growth in the volume of products and services sold and the margins earned on those sales over time. We believe that our investors view gross margin as reflective of our ability to manage volume and price throughout the commodity cycle. Gross margin can be reconciled to operating income the most comparable GAAP measure by subtracting selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization in the table above.
The majority of the revenue and gross margin earned by Atlantic Aviation is generated through fueling GA aircraft at facilities located on the 70 U.S. airports at which the business operates. Atlantic Aviation seeks to maintain and, where appropriate, increase dollar-based margins on fuel sales. Generally, fluctuations in the cost of jet fuel are passed through to the customer.
Revenue and gross margin are driven, in part, by the volume of fuel sold and the dollar-based margin/fee per gallon on those sales. Revenue increased by 16.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 as a result of higher wholesale cost of fuel, contributions from acquisitions and an increase in the volume of fuel sold. The higher wholesale cost of fuel was largely offset by a corresponding increase in cost of services, resulting in an increase in gross margin of 9.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
Our discussion of same store results in the current and prior comparable periods reflects contributions from FBOs that have been in operation for the same full months in each period, and excludes the costs of acquiring, integrating or disposing of FBOs. On a same store basis, gross margin increased by 5.3% in the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 driven by an increase in hangar rentals, deicing, ancillary services and fuel gross margin.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to incremental costs associated with acquisitions and higher salaries and benefit costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily as a result of contributions from acquisitions and assets placed in service.
Operating income increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 due to the increase in gross margin, partially offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and the increase in depreciation and amortization expense.
13
Interest expense includes gains on derivative instruments of $5.0 million and losses on derivative instruments of $133,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $6.2 million and $4.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase reflects primarily higher average debt balances.
Cash interest expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 is inclusive of the interest expense related to the $402.5 million of the MIC Corporate 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due October 2023, proceeds of which were used in part to reduce the drawn balance of Atlantic Aviations revolving credit facility in October 2016.
The taxable income generated by Atlantic Aviation is reported on our consolidated federal income tax return. The business files state income tax returns in the states in which it operates. The tax expense in the table above includes both state taxes and the portion of the consolidated federal tax liability attributable to the business.
For the year ending December 31, 2018, the business expects to pay state income taxes of approximately $7.4 million. The Provision for current income taxes of $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 in the above table includes $4.3 million of federal income tax expense and $2.2 million of state income tax expense. Any current federal income tax payable is expected to be offset in consolidation with the application of NOLs at the MIC holding company level.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, Atlantic Aviation incurred maintenance capital expenditures of $1.3 million and $1.5 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, compared with $925,000 and $1.7 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
14
Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 were ahead of expectations driven by improved wind resources, increased utilization at BEC and additional tariff-based ancillary services at BEC. The cold snap in early January in New York City led to a significant increase in the demand for peaking power.

Revenue increased by $7.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Revenue from BEC increased due to, (i) higher electricity generation driven by cold weather in January 2018; (ii) increased revenue from BECs transmission congestion contracts; and, (iii) additional revenues from tariff-based ancillary services provided to the grid operator. Revenue from renewable facilities increased primarily due to strong wind resources.
15
Cost of product sales increased due to higher generation levels at BEC in the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017, resulting in an increase in gas consumed and higher variable operations and maintenance expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to incremental costs associated with the improvement projects constructed at BEC, incremental costs from acquisitions and development-related expenses, partially offset by insurance savings at BEC.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to incremental expenses associated with acquisitions completed in 2017 and projects placed in service during the year.
Other income, net, increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to an increase in financing income from a third party renewable developer on a revolving credit facility provided by the business.
Interest expense includes gains on derivative instruments of $5.4 million and $410,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $6.5 million and $6.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease reflects primarily lower average debt balances on all facilities.
Our wind and solar facilities are held in limited liability companies that are treated as pass through entities for tax purposes. As such, these entities do not pay federal or state income taxes on a standalone basis, but each partner pays federal and state income taxes based on their allocated share of taxable income. For the year ending December 31, 2018, MIC expects its allocated share of the federal taxable income from these facilities to be a loss of approximately $425,000. For 2017, MICs allocated share of the federal taxable income from these facilities was a loss of approximately $10.7 million.
The taxable income generated by BEC is reported on our consolidated federal income tax return and is subject to New York state income tax as part of a combined return. For the year ending December 31, 2018, the business does not expect to have a federal or a state income tax liability. Future current federal taxable income attributable to BEC may be offset in consolidation with the application of NOLs at the MIC holding company level.
The increase in loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 is primarily driven by the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on certain partnership entities.
MIC Hawaii generated results that were below expectations driven by continued underperformance at our design-build mechanical contractor and lower non-utility margins and higher production, transmission and distribution costs at Hawaii Gas.
In August 2017, Hawaii Gas filed a general rate case with the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (HPUC). The rate case seeks an increase in revenue of $15.0 million per year and, if approved, interim rates are expected to be implemented in mid-2018.
16
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is expected to have both positive and negative impacts on the businesses of MIC Hawaii. The positive aspects primarily benefit the non-regulated MIC Hawaii businesses and include the reduction in federal corporate tax rates and the expensing of a portion of capital expenditures. On the other hand, the regulated MIC Hawaii business expects a reduction in revenues as a result of the lower federal corporate tax rate. The HPUC has opened a proceeding that is expected to result in a determination of the final impact of the new tax law on regulated utilities in Hawaii, including the treatment of accumulated deferred taxes as of the date of the change in federal corporate tax rate.

MIC Hawaii comprises Hawaii Gas and several smaller businesses collectively engaged in efforts to reduce the cost and improve the reliability and sustainability of energy in Hawaii. The businesses of MIC Hawaii generate revenue primarily from the provision of gas services to commercial, residential and governmental customers, the generation of power and the design and construction of building mechanical systems.
Hawaii Gas generates a significant portion of its revenue from the sale of gas. Accordingly, revenue can fluctuate based on the wholesale cost of the commodity to Hawaii Gas and may not reflect the business ability to effectively manage volume and price. For example, an increase in revenue may be attributable to an increase in the wholesale cost of gas and not an increase in the volume sold or price per therm. Conversely, a decline in revenue may be attributable to a decrease in the wholesale cost of gas and not a reduction in volume sold or price per therm.
Gross margin, which we define as revenue less cost of product sales and services, excluding depreciation and amortization, is the effective top line for Hawaii Gas as it is reflective of the business ability to drive growth in the volume of products and services and the margins earned on those sales over time. We believe that investors utilize gross margin as it is reflective of our performance in managing volume and price throughout the commodity cycle. Gross margin is reconciled to operating income the most comparable GAAP measure by subtracting selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization in the table above.
Revenue increased by $7.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The increase is primarily attributable to higher revenue at the mechanical contracting business, increase in the wholesale cost of gas and higher volumes of gas sold by Hawaii Gas, partially offset by lower rates. On an underlying basis, adjusting for changes in customer inventory, the volume of gas sold increased by 5.6% in the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
Gross margin decreased by $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower margins at Hawaii Gas and the mechanical contracting business, partially offset by lower unrealized losses on commodity hedges.
Gross margins were lower at Hawaii Gas due to higher production and transmission & distribution costs, and a lower contribution margin per therm resulting from competitive activity. Unrealized losses on commodity hedges were $4.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with unrealized losses of $5.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Lower margins on mechanical contracting projects resulted from increased costs on fixed revenue contracts attributable to higher labor costs, project delays and general construction cost escalation in Hawaii.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to higher salary and professional fees, partially offset by lower IT and legal costs.
18
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to assets placed in service.
Operating income decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 due to the decline in gross margin and the increases in selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses.
Interest expense includes gains on derivative instruments of $801,000 and $156,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Excluding the derivative adjustments, cash interest expense was $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The slight increase reflects primarily higher average debt balances outstanding.
The taxable income generated by the MIC Hawaii businesses is reported on our consolidated federal income tax return and is subject to Hawaii state income tax on a stand-alone basis. The tax expense in the table above includes both state tax and the portion of the consolidated federal tax liability attributable to the businesses. For the year ending December 31, 2018, the business expects to pay state income taxes of approximately $850,000. The Provision for current income taxes of $639,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 in the above table includes $599,000 of federal income tax expense and $40,000 of state income tax expense. Any current federal income tax payable is expected to be offset in consolidation with the application of NOLs at the MIC holding company level.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, MIC Hawaii incurred maintenance capital expenditures of $1.5 million and $1.3 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, compared with $1.1 million and $1.5 million on an accrual basis and cash basis, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
19
Corporate and Other includes expenses paid by the holding company, including base management fees and performance fees, if any, professional fees and costs associated with being a public company.

We will, in general, apply available cash to the repayment of revolving credit facility balances as a means of minimizing interest expense and draw on those facilities to fund growth projects and for general corporate purposes.
We use revolving credit facilities at each of our operating companies and the holding company as a means of maintaining access to sufficient liquidity to meet future requirements, managing interest expense and funding growth projects. We base our assessment of the sufficiency of our liquidity and capital resources on the assumptions that:
| our businesses overall generate, and are expected to continue to generate, significant operating cash flow; |
| the ongoing capital expenditures associated with our businesses are readily funded from their respective operating cash flow or available debt facilities; and |
| we will be able to refinance, extend and/or repay the principal amount of maturing long-term debt on terms that can be supported by our businesses. |
We capitalize our businesses in part using floating rate bank debt with medium-term maturities between five and seven years. In general, we hedge the floating rate exposure for the majority of the term of these facilities. We also use longer dated private placement debt and other forms of capital including bond or hybrid debt instruments to capitalize our businesses. In general, the debt facilities at our businesses are non-recourse to the holding company and there are no cross-collateralization or cross-guarantee provisions in these facilities.
Our wind and solar facilities are financed primarily with fully amortizing non-recourse project finance style debt with maturities prior to or coterminous with the expiration of the underlying PPAs.
The following section discusses our sources and uses of cash on a consolidated basis. All intercompany activities such as corporate allocations, capital contributions to our businesses and distributions from our businesses have been excluded from the table as these transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities is generally comprised of EBITDA excluding non-cash items (as defined by us), less cash interest, tax and pension payments, and changes in working capital. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations for discussions around the components of EBITDA excluding non-cash items on a consolidated basis and for each of our businesses above.
22
The increase in consolidated cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to:
| timing of payment of insurance premiums; |
| collection of interest receivable from a third party renewables developer on a revolving credit facility provided by our Contracted Power business; and |
| timing of customer payments; partially offset by |
| an increase in the cost of jet fuel at Atlantic Aviation and the increase in the cost of gas at MIC Hawaii; and |
| an increase in interest expense. |
Cash provided by investing activities include proceeds from divestitures of businesses and fixed assets. Cash used in investing activities include acquisitions of businesses in new and existing segments and capital expenditures. Acquisitions of businesses are generally funded by raising additional equity and/or drawings on credit facilities.
In general, maintenance capital expenditures are funded by cash from operating activities and growth capital expenditures are funded by drawing on our available credit facilities or with equity capital. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operation for maintenance capital expenditures for each of our businesses.
The decrease in consolidated cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to:
| a decrease in capital expenditures at BEC and IMTT; and |
| a decrease in net borrowings by a third party renewables developer on a revolving credit facility provided by our Contracted Power business; partially offset by |
| an on-field consolidation of an FBO by Atlantic Aviation. |
Capital deployment includes growth capital expenditures and bolt-on acquisitions, the majority of which are expected to generate incremental earnings. For the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we invested $39.0 million and $51.4 million, respectively, of growth capital expenditures in our existing businesses. In addition, we completed an on-field consolidation of an FBO for $11.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
We prudently evaluate opportunities to deploy capital in acquisitions and projects, whether into our existing businesses or new lines of business. For example, we expect to deploy approximately $22.5 million of additional capital in the completion of an expansion of our BEC facility in 2018. We also expect to undertake a number of capital projects related to the repurposing and repositioning of certain assets at IMTT and the improvement in capacity and capabilities of the businesses in our other segments. As a consequence of having reduced internally generated capital as a result of the non-renewal of a number of contracts for storage and handling of bulk liquids at IMTT, we have reduced our planned capital deployment for the year from a previous estimate of approximately $350.0 million to approximately $300.0 million.
Cash provided by financing activities primarily includes new equity issuance and debt issuance related to acquisitions and capital expenditures. Cash used in financing activities primarily includes dividends to our stockholders and the repayment of debt principal balances on maturing debt.
23
The decrease in consolidated cash used in financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to:
| increased net borrowings used partially to fund capital deployment and general corporate purposes; partially offset by |
| an increase in dividends paid to stockholders in 2018. |
During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, IMTT borrowed $17.0 million and repaid $10.0 million on its revolving credit facility primarily for general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2018, IMTT had $1.3 billion of total debt outstanding consisting of $600.0 million of senior notes, $509.0 million of tax-exempt bonds and $217.0 million drawn on its revolving credit facility. IMTT has access to $600.0 million of revolving credit facilities, of which $383.0 million remained undrawn at March 31, 2018.
Cash interest expense paid by IMTT was $11.4 million and $9.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. At March 31, 2018, IMTT was in compliance with its financial covenants.

At March 31, 2018, Atlantic Aviation was in compliance with its financial covenants.
At March 31, 2018, the businesses within our Contracted Power segment had $570.6 million in term loans outstanding. Cash interest expense paid by these businesses was $6.5 million and $6.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

At March 31, 2018, we did not have any material purchase obligations. For a discussion of our other future obligations, due by period, under the various contractual obligations, off-balance sheet arrangements and commitments, please see Liquidity and Capital Resources Commitments and Contingencies in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2018.
At March 31, 2018, we did not have any material reserves for contingencies. We have other contingencies occurring in the normal course of business, including pending legal and administrative proceedings that are not reflected at this time as they are not ascertainable.
Our sources of cash to meet these obligations include:
| cash generated from our operations (see Operating Activities in Liquidity and Capital Resources); |
| issuance of shares or debt securities (see Financing Activities in Liquidity and Capital Resources); |
| refinancing of our current credit facilities at or before maturity (see Financing Activities in Liquidity and Capital Resources); |
| undrawn balances on credit facilities (see Financing Activities in Liquidity and Capital Resources); and |
| if advantageous, sale of all or part of any of our businesses (see Investing Activities in Liquidity and Capital Resources). |

For critical accounting policies and estimates, see Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Part II, Item 7 and Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and see Note 2, Basis of Presentation, in our Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for recently issued accounting standards. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed materially from the description contained in our Annual Report.
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since February 21, 2018, the filing date for our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Under the direction and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The purpose of disclosure controls is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2018.
Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue. The adoption of this accounting standard had no impact on our operating income, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. While the adoption of ASC 606 did not materially affect our internal control over financial reporting, we did implement certain changes to our related revenue recognition control activities, including changes to our policies related to the revenue recognition model, training, ongoing contract review requirements and gathering of information to comply with disclosure requirements. Furthermore, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the ended March 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (MIC) is a Delaware corporation formed on May 21, 2015. MICs predecessor, Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, was formed on April 13, 2004. Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation, both on an individual entity basis and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is referred to in these financial statements as the Company or MIC.
MIC is externally managed by Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc. (the Manager), pursuant to the terms of a Management Services Agreement, that is subject to the oversight and supervision of the board of directors. The majority of the members of the Board of Directors, and each member of all Board Committees, is independent and has no affiliation with Macquarie. The Manager is a member of the Macquarie Group of companies comprising the Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. Macquarie Group Limited is headquartered in Australia and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
The Company owns its businesses through its direct wholly-owned subsidiary MIC Ohana Corporation, the successor to Macquarie Infrastructure Company Inc. The Company owns and operates a diversified portfolio of businesses that provide services to other businesses, government agencies and individuals primarily in the U.S. The businesses it owns and operates are organized into four segments:
| International-Matex Tank Terminals (IMTT): a business providing bulk liquid terminalling to third parties at 17 terminals in the U.S. and two in Canada; |
| Atlantic Aviation: a provider of fuel, terminal, aircraft hangaring and other services primarily to owners and operators of general aviation (GA) jet aircraft at 70 airports throughout the U.S.; |
| Contracted Power: comprising electricity generating assets including a gas-fired facility and controlling interests in wind and solar facilities in the U.S.; and |
| MIC Hawaii: comprising an energy company that processes and distributes gas and provides related services (Hawaii Gas) and several smaller businesses collectively engaged in efforts to reduce the cost and improve the reliability and sustainability of energy in Hawaii. |
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 has been derived from audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain reclassifications were made to the financial statements for the prior period to conform to current period presentation.
The interim financial information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2018. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or for any future interim periods.
33
The preparation of unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures related thereto at the date of the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.
The Companys financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and variable-rate senior debt, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of either the short-term maturity, or competitive interest rates assigned to these financial instruments.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2018-02 allow entities to reclassify from AOCI to retained earnings stranded tax effects resulting from passage of the Act. An entity that elects to reclassify these amounts must reclassify stranded tax effects related to the change in federal tax rate for all items accounted for in other comprehensive income (i.e. employee benefits, cumulative translation adjustments). Entities may also elect to reclassify other stranded tax effects that relate to the Act but do not directly relate to the change in the federal tax rate (i.e. state taxes). However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Act, the underlying guidance requiring the effect of a change in tax laws or rates to be included in income from operations is not affected. Upon adoption of ASU 2018-02, entities are required to disclose their policy for releasing the income tax effects from AOCI. ASU 2018-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in 2018-02 may be applied retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Act is recognized or an entity may elect to apply the amendments in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU.
On January 26, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the measurement of goodwill subsequent to a business combination, and no longer requires an entity to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation when computing implied fair value to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment will be assessed by quantifying the difference between the fair value of a reporting unit and its carrying amount. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units fair value, on condition that the charge doesnt exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 for public issuers and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU during the first quarter of 2018. There was no goodwill impairment recorded during the quarters ended March 31, 2018 or 2017.
34
On January 5, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which provides a restrictive framework for determining whether business transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Determining whether a Company acquires a set of assets or a business will impact the initial measurement, the accounting treatment of direct acquisition related costs, contingent considerations and the bargain purchase price. The guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 for public issuers and shall be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this ASU during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and will apply this ASU prospectively for asset acquisitions and business combinations.
On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires companies to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This reconciliation can be presented either on the face of the statement of cash flows or in the notes to the financial statements. The guidance will be applied retrospectively and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this ASU during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and included the retrospective application of this ASU in the accompanying consolidated condensed statement of cash flows.
On February 25, 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, ASU 2016-02 will require all leases with an initial term greater than one year to be recognized on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The Company also serves as a lessor primarily through operating leases. The accounting for lessors is not expected to fundamentally change except for changes to conform and align existing guidance to the lessee guidance under ASU 2016-02, as well as to the new revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is allowed. The standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company has begun evaluating and planning for the adoption and implementation of ASU 2016-02, including assessing the overall impact. ASU 2016-02 will have a material impact on the Companys consolidated balance sheets; however, the full impact to the overall financial statements has not yet been determined. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on the Companys results of operations, the changes to its systems, processes and internal controls to meet the reporting and disclosure requirements.
The Company recognizes revenue 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. The Company has revenue that is derived from long-term contracts and leases that can span several years. The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue, or ASC Topic 840, Leases, depending upon the terms of the agreements. See Note 11, Long-Term Contracted Revenue, for further discussions and disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance sets forth a five-step revenue recognition model that replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety. It is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance and requires more detailed disclosures. This ASU includes identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the
35
transaction price to each separate performance obligation. To further assist with adoption and implementation of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued and the Company considered the following ASUs:
| ASU 2015-14 (Issued August 2015) Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date; |
| ASU 2016-08 (Issued March 2016) Principal versus Agent Consideration (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net); |
| ASU 2016-10 (Issued April 2016) Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; |
| ASU 2016-12 (Issued May 2016) Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and |
| ASU 2016-20 (Issued December 2016) Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. |
The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method. There was no adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings and the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact to the Companys consolidated financial statements other than the additional required qualitative and quantitative disclosures. As part of the adoption, the Company has not elected to apply any practical expedients available under ASC Topic 606.
Revenue from IMTT is generated from the following sources and recorded in service revenue.
Lease. Contracts with predominantly non-cancelable terms of generally one to three years for access to and the use of storage capacity at the various terminals owned and operated by the business. These contracts generally require payments in exchange for the provision of storage capacity and product movement (thruput) throughout their term based on a fixed rate per barrel of capacity leased. A majority of the contracts include terms that adjust the fixed rate annually for inflation. These contracts are accounted for as operating leases and the related lease income is recognized in service revenue over the term of the contract based upon the rate specified. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 840, Leases.
Other terminal services. Revenue from the provision of ancillary services includes activities such as heating, mixing, and blending, and is recognized as the related services are performed based on contract rates. Revenue from other terminal services is recognized at a point in time as services are performed. Other terminal services also include payments received prior to the related services being performed or as a reimbursement for specific fixed asset additions or improvements related to a customers contract and are recorded as deferred revenue and ratably recognized as revenues over the contract term.
Other. Other revenue is comprised primarily of environmental response service activities and railroad operations. These revenues are generally recognized at a point in time as services are performed.
Revenue from Atlantic Aviation is recorded in service revenue. Services provided by Atlantic Aviation include:
Fuel. Fuel services are recognized when fuel has been delivered to the customer, collection of the resulting receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the fee is fixed or determinable. Fuel services are recorded net of volume discounts and rebates. Revenue from fuel sales are recognized at a point in time as services are performed.
36
Hangar. Hangar rentals includes both month-to-month rentals and rentals from longer term contracts. Hangar rental revenue excludes transient customer overnight hangar usage (see Other FBO services below).
Other FBO services. Other FBO services consisting principally of de-icing services, landing, concession, transient overnight hangar usage, terminal use and fuel distribution fees that are recognized as sales of services. Revenue from these transactions is recorded based on the service fee earned and does not include the cost of fuel.
Bayonne Energy Centers (BEC) revenue is derived from contracts that are accounted for as operating leases that do not have minimum lease payments. This revenue is recorded within product revenue as electricity is delivered.
With respect to BECs contracted capacity, revenue is recognized as energy, capacity and ancillary services are sold to the off-taker under the third-party tolling agreements. The agreements are based on a fixed rate per megawatt (MW) of capacity and not subject to dispatch or utilization. A portion of the revenues under the tolling agreements are subject to annual price increases. Revenue under the tolling agreements is subject to availability of capacity (subject to a historical rolling average forced outage factor). Variable operating and major maintenance revenue under the tolling agreements is a function of net plant output and a negotiated rate, which is adjusted annually based on historical plant experience.
With respect to BECs residual capacity, revenue is recognized as energy, capacity and ancillary services are sold into the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) energy market. Revenue for such services is based on prevailing market rates at the time such services are sold. Volumes of energy and ancillary services sold are subject to BECs market based dispatch from NYISO.
Owners of the wind and solar facilities sell substantially all of the electricity generated at a fixed price to primarily electric utility customers pursuant to long-term (typically 20 25 years) power purchase agreements (PPAs). Substantially all of the PPAs are accounted for as operating leases and have no minimum lease payments and all of the lease income under these leases is recorded within product revenue when the electricity is delivered.
Revenue from Hawaii Gas is recorded in product revenue. Hawaii Gas recognizes revenue when products are delivered. Sales of gas to customers are billed on a monthly-cycle basis. Earned but unbilled revenue is accrued and included in accounts receivable and revenue based on the amount of gas that has been delivered but not billed to customers from the latest meter reading or billed delivery date to the end of an accounting period. The related costs are charged to expense.
The other businesses within MIC Hawaii consist of primarily a mechanical contractor focused on designing and constructing energy efficient building infrastructure and controlling interests in renewable and distributed power facilities including two facilities on Oahu. Revenue generated by the mechanical contractor business is recognized from long-term construction contracts (commonly referred to as the percentage-of-completion method) and is recorded in service revenue. PPAs at the renewable facilities are accounted for as operating leases and the related lease income is recorded in product revenues when the electricity is delivered.

The Company and certain of its businesses have in place variable-rate debt. Management believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of the business interest payments. To meet this objective, the Company enters into interest rate agreements, primarily using interest rate swaps and from time to time using interest rate caps, to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk on a portion of its debt with a variable-rate component. Interest rate swaps change the variable-rate cash flow exposure on the debt obligations to fixed cash flows. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt for the portion of the debt that is swapped.
At March 31, 2018, the Company had $3.7 billion of current and long-term debt, of which $1.4 billion was economically hedged with interest rate contracts, $1.6 billion was fixed rate debt and $692.4 million was unhedged. The Company does not use hedge accounting. All movements in the fair value of the interest rate derivatives are recorded directly through earnings.
The risks associated with fluctuations in the prices that Hawaii Gas, a business within the MIC Hawaii reportable segment, pays for propane is principally a result of market forces reflecting changes in supply and demand for propane and other energy commodities. Hawaii Gas gross margin (revenue less cost of product sales excluding depreciation and amortization) is sensitive to changes in propane supply costs and Hawaii Gas may not always be able to pass through product cost increases fully or on a timely basis, particularly when product costs rise rapidly. In order to reduce the volatility of the business propane market price risk, Hawaii Gas has used and expects to continue to use over-the-counter commodity derivative instruments including price swaps. Hawaii Gas does not use commodity derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Over-the-counter derivative commodity instruments used by Hawaii Gas to hedge forecasted purchases of propane are generally settled at expiration of the contract.
The Company measures derivative instruments at fair value using the income approach which discounts the future net cash settlements expected under the derivative contracts to a present value. These valuations use primarily observable (level 2) inputs, including contractual terms, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals.

At March 31, 2018, the Companys businesses consisted of four reportable segments: IMTT, Atlantic Aviation, Contracted Power and MIC Hawaii.
IMTT provides bulk liquid storage, handling and other services in North America through seventeen terminals located in the United States, one terminal in Quebec, Canada and one partially owned terminal in Newfoundland, Canada. IMTT derives the majority of its revenue from storage and handling of petroleum products, various chemicals, renewable fuels, and vegetable and tropical oils. Based on storage capacity, IMTT operates one of the largest third-party bulk liquid terminals businesses in the United States. Revenue from IMTT is included in service revenue.
Atlantic Aviation derives the majority of its revenue from fuel delivery services and from other airport services, including de-icing and aircraft hangar rental. All of the revenue of Atlantic Aviation is generated at airports in the U.S. The business currently operates at 70 airports. Revenue from Atlantic Aviation is included in service revenue.
At March 31, 2018, the Contracted Power business segment has controlling interests in seven utility-scale solar photovoltaic facilities, two wind facilities and 100% ownership of a gas-fired facility that are in operations in the United States. The wind and solar facilities that are operational at March 31, 2018 have an aggregate generating capacity of 345 megawatt (MW) of wholesale electricity to utilities. Revenue from the wind, solar and gas-fired power facilities are included in product revenue.
These projects are held in LLCs, and are treated as partnerships for income tax purposes, with co-investors. The acquisition price on these projects can vary depending on, among other things, factors such as the size of the project, PPA terms, eligibility for tax incentives, debt package, operating cost structure and development stage. A completed project takes out all of the construction risk, testing and costs associated with construction contracts.
44
The Company has certain rights to make decisions over the management and operations of these wind and solar facilities. The Company has determined that it is appropriate to consolidate these projects, with the co-investors interest reflected as Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated condensed financial statements.
The Company owns 100% of BEC, a 512 MW gas-fired facility located in Bayonne, New Jersey, adjacent to IMTTs Bayonne facility. BEC has tolling agreements with a creditworthy off-taker for 62.5% of its power generating capacity and power produced is delivered to New York City via a dedicated transmission cable under New York Harbor. The tolling agreements generate revenue whether or not the facility is in use for power production. In addition to revenue related to the tolling agreement and capacity payments from the grid operator, BEC generates an energy margin when the facility is dispatched. Revenue from BEC is accounted for as an operating lease that does not have minimum lease payments. All of the lease income under the lease is recorded within product revenue when natural gas transportation services are performed.
MIC Hawaii comprises: Hawaii Gas, Hawaiis only government-franchised gas utility and an unregulated liquefied petroleum gas distribution business providing gas and related services to commercial, residential and governmental customers; a mechanical contractor focused on designing and constructing energy efficient and related building infrastructure; and controlling interests in two solar facilities on Oahu. Revenue from Hawaii Gas and the solar facilities are recorded in product revenue (see above in Contracted Power for further discussion on revenue from PPAs). Revenue from the mechanical contractor business is recorded in service revenue.
Revenue from the Hawaii Gas business is generated from the distribution and sales of synthetic natural gas (SNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Revenue is primarily a function of the volume of SNG, LPG and LNG consumed by customers and the price per British Thermal Unit or gallon charged to customers. Revenue levels, without organic growth, will generally track global commodity prices, namely petroleum and natural gas, as its products are derived from these commodities.
All of the MIC business segments are managed separately and management has chosen to organize the Company around the distinct products and services offered. Selected information by segment is presented in the following tables.

In accordance with FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has disclosed earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding non-cash items as a key performance indicator for the businesses. EBITDA excluding non-cash items is reflective of the businesses ability to effectively manage the volume of products sold or services provided, the operating margin earned on those transactions and the management of operating expenses independent of the capitalization and tax attributes of its businesses. The Company defines EBITDA excluding non-cash items as net income (loss) or earnings the most comparable GAAP measure before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash items including impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, adjustments for other non-cash items and pension expense reflected in the statements of operations.
EBITDA excluding non-cash items for the Companys consolidated reportable segments is shown in the tables below ($ in thousands). Allocations of corporate expenses, intercompany fees and the tax effect have been excluded as they are eliminated in consolidation.

Long-term contracted revenue consists of revenue from future minimum lease revenue accounted in accordance with ASC 840, Leases, and estimated revenue to be recognized in the future related to performance conditions that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied accounted in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue. The recognition pattern for contracts that are considered leases is generally consistent with the recognition pattern that would apply if such contracts were not accounted for as leases and were instead accounted for under ASC Topic 606. Accordingly, the Company has combined the required lessor disclosures for future lease income with the disclosures for contracted revenue in the table below.

The above table does not include the future minimum lease revenue from the Companys Contracted Power and the renewable businesses within the MIC Hawaii reportable segments. The payments from these leases are considered variable as they are based on the output of the underlying assets (i.e. energy generated).
In addition, the above table excludes contract revenue from the mechanical contractor business in the MIC Hawaii reportable segment. Revenue generated by the mechanical contractor business is recognized from long-term construction contracts (commonly referred to the percentage-of-completion method). At March 31, 2018, this business had a backlog of approximately $35.0 million of future contract revenue which primarily is expected to be recognized within one to two years.

The Manager is not entitled to any other compensation and all costs incurred by the Manager, including compensation of seconded staff, are paid by the Manager out of its base management fee. However, the Company is responsible for other direct costs including, but not limited to, expenses incurred in the administration or management of the Company and its subsidiaries, income taxes, audit and legal fees, acquisitions and dispositions and its compliance with applicable laws and regulations. During the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Manager charged the Company $268,000 and $289,000, respectively, for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.

The Company uses the resources of the Macquarie Group with respect to a range of advisory, procurement, insurance, hedging, lending and other services. Engagements involving members of the Macquarie Group are reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Companys board of directors. Macquarie Group affiliates are engaged on an arms length basis and frequently as a member of syndicate of providers whose other members establish the terms of the interaction.
The Macquarie Group, and wholly-owned subsidiaries within the Macquarie Group, including Macquarie Bank Limited (MBL) and Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. (MCUSA) have provided various advisory and other services and incurred expenses in connection with the Companys equity raising activities, acquisitions and debt structuring for the Company and its businesses. Underwriting fees are recorded in stockholders equity as a direct cost of equity offerings. Advisory fees and out-of-pocket expenses relating to acquisitions are expensed as incurred. Debt arranging fees are deferred and amortized over the term of the credit facility.
The Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with sales agents, including MCUSA, providing for the sale of shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from time to time having an aggregate gross offering price of up to $400.0 million. The equity distribution agreement also provides for sales of shares to any sales agent as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of the sale. For the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not engage MCUSA for such activities.

In January 2018, the Company completed the refinancing and upsizing of its senior secured revolving credit facility to $600.0 million from $410.0 million and extended the maturity through January 3, 2022. As part of the refinancing and upsizing, MIHI LLCs $50.0 million commitment was replaced by a $40.0 million commitment from Macquarie Capital Funding LLC. As part of the closing, the Company paid Macquarie Capital Funding LLC $80,000 in closing fees.
For the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $4,000 and $34,000, respectively, in interest expense related to MIHI LLCs portion of the MIC senior secured revolving credit facility, prior to the refinancing. For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred $107,000 in interest expense related to Macquarie Capital Funding LLCs portion of the MIC senior secured revolving credit facility.
Macquarie Energy North America Trading, Inc. (MENAT), an indirect subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited, entered into contracts with IMTT to lease barrels of capacity. At March 31, 2017, MENAT leased 200,000 barrels of capacity from IMTT and recognized $613,000 in revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The contracts expired during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
The Company expects to incur federal consolidated taxable income for the year ending December 31, 2018, which will be fully offset by the Companys net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards. The Company believes that it will be able to utilize all of its federal prior year NOLs, which will begin to expire after 2029 and completely expire after 2035.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law and includes provisions that may have an impact on the Companys federal taxable income. The most significant of these are 100% bonus depreciation on qualifying assets (which is scheduled to phase down ratably to 0% between 2023 and 2027) and a reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.
In response to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, on December 22, 2017 the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), to provide guidance for companies that are not able to complete their accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the period of enactment. The SEC Staff noted in SAB 118 that in these cases a company should continue to apply Topic 740, Income Taxes, based on the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act being enacted. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under Topic 740. While the Company was able to make reasonable estimates of the impact of the changes to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code related to its foreign entities on its tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the final impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may differ from these estimates, due to, among other things, changes in the interpretations and assumptions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and additional guidance that may be issued by the Internal Revenue Service. As a result, the Company will continue to gather additional information to determine the final impact of these changes.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also includes a new limitation on the deductibility of net interest expense that generally limits the deduction to 30% of adjusted taxable income. For years before 2022, adjusted taxable income is defined as taxable income computed without regard to certain items, including net business interest expense, the amount of any NOL deduction, tax depreciation and tax amortization. The Company does not expect to incur net interest expense that is greater than 30% of adjusted taxable income prior to 2022.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In managements opinion, the Company has adequate legal defenses and/or insurance coverage with respect to the eventuality of such actions, and does not believe the outcome of any pending legal proceedings will be material to the Companys financial position or result of operations.
On April 23, 2018, a complaint captioned City of Riviera Beach General Employees Retirement System v. Macquarie Infrastructure Corp., et al., Case 1:18-cv-03608 (VSB), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A substantially identical complaint captioned Daniel Fajardo v. Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-03744(VSB) was filed in the same court on April 27, 2018. Both complaints assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder on behalf of a putative class consisting of all purchasers of MIC common stock between February 22, 2016 and February 21, 2018. The named defendants in both cases are the Company and four current or former officers of MIC and one of its subsidiaries, IMTT Holdings LLC. The complaints allege that the Company and the individual defendants knowingly made material misstatements and omitted material facts in its public disclosures concerning the Companys and IMTTs business and the sustainability of the Companys dividend to stockholders. The Company intends to vigorously contest the claims asserted in the City of Riviera Beach and Fajardo complaints, which the Company believes are entirely meritless.
On May 1, 2018, the board of directors declared a dividend of $1.00 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, which is expected to be paid on May 17, 2018 to holders of record on May 14, 2018.

In February 2018, results of emissions testing at BEC by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) exhibited ammonia emissions levels which exceeded levels outlined in BECs air permit. BEC is finalizing a remediation plan with the NJDEP, and anticipates that the NJDEP will issue a notice of violation and a fine that BEC estimates, based on currently available information, at $100,000 to $200,000.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2018, except for the following:
We value constructive input from our stockholders and the investment community. However, there is no assurance that the actions taken by our Board of Directors and management in seeking to maintain constructive engagement with our stockholders will be successful. Certain of our shareholders have expressed views with respect to the operation of our business, our business strategy, corporate governance considerations or other matters. Responding to actions by activist stockholders can be costly and time-consuming, disrupting our operations and diverting the attention of management and our employees. The perceived uncertainties as to our future direction due to activist actions could affect the market price of our securities, result in the loss of potential business opportunities and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel, board members and business partners.
We are required to pay real property taxes in respect of our properties and such taxes may increase as our properties are reassessed by taxing authorities or as property tax rates change. An increase in the assessed value of our properties or our property tax rates may not be passed along to our customers and could adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
