Crude Oil Hedges

We have exposure to commodity price changes related to our crude oil inventory and purchase commitments. We utilize derivative instruments (futures, options, basis differentials and swap contracts) to hedge our exposure to crude oil. Our decision as to whether to designate derivative instruments as fair value hedges for accounting purposes relates to our expectations of the length of time we expect to have the commodity price exposure and our expectations as to whether the derivative contract will qualify as highly effective under accounting guidance in limiting our exposure to commodity price risk. We recognize any changes in the fair value of our derivative contracts as increases or decreases in “Onshore transportation and services product costs” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The recognition of changes in fair value of the derivative contracts not designated as hedges for accounting purposes can occur in reporting periods that do not coincide with the recognition of gain or loss on the actual transaction being hedged. Therefore, we will, on occasion, report gains or losses in one period that will be partially offset by gains or losses in a future period when the hedged transaction is completed.

We have designated certain crude oil futures contracts as hedges of crude oil inventory due to our expectation that these contracts will be highly effective in hedging our exposure to fluctuations in crude oil prices during the period that we expect to hold that inventory. We account for these derivative instruments as fair value hedges under the accounting guidance. Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges are used to offset related changes in the fair value of the hedged crude oil inventory. Any hedge ineffectiveness in these fair value hedges and any amounts excluded from effectiveness testing are recorded as a gain or loss within “Onshore transportation and services product costs” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Balance Sheet Netting and Broker Margin Accounts

Our accounting policy is to offset over-the-counter derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty based on the contract settlement month. We also offset fair value amounts recorded for our exchange-traded derivative contracts against required margin funding in “Current Assets - Other” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our exchange-traded derivatives are transacted through brokerage accounts and are subject to margin requirements as established by the respective exchange. Margin requirements are intended to mitigate a party’s exposure to market volatility and counterparty credit risk. On a daily basis, our account equity (consisting of the sum of our cash margin balance and the fair value of our open derivatives) is compared to our initial margin requirement resulting in the payment or return of variation margin.

As of December 31, 2025, we had a net broker receivable of approximately $0.8 million (consisting of initial margin of $0.7 million increased by $0.1 million of variation margin). As of December 31, 2024, we had a net broker receivable of approximately $0.9 million (consisting of initial margin of $1.1 million decreased by $0.2 million of variation margin). At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, none of our outstanding derivative contracts contained credit-risk related contingent features that would result in a material adverse impact to us upon any change in our credit ratings.

At December 31, 2025, we had the following outstanding derivative contracts that were entered into to economically hedge inventory, fixed price purchase commitments or forecasted purchases.

Financial Statement Impacts

Unrealized gains are subtracted from net income (loss) and unrealized losses are added to net income (loss) in determining cash flows from operating activities. To the extent that we have fair value hedges outstanding, the offsetting change recorded in the fair value of inventory is also eliminated from net income (loss) in determining cash flows from operating activities. Changes in the cash margin balance required to maintain our exchange-traded derivative contracts also affect cash flows from operating activities.

The following table summarizes the accounting treatment and classification of our derivative instruments on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables reflect the estimated fair value position of our derivatives at December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Fair Value of Derivative Assets and Liabilities

(1)As noted above, our exchange-traded derivatives are transacted through brokerage accounts and subject to margin requirements. We offset fair value amounts recorded for our exchange-traded derivative contracts against required margin deposits recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets under “Current Assets - Other”.
