REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors of NGL Energy Holdings LLC and
Unitholders of NGL Energy Partners LP
Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NGL Energy Partners LP (a Delaware limited partnership) and subsidiaries (the “Partnership”) as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated May 29, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis for opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical audit matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit - goodwill impairment assessments
As described further in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Partnership’s goodwill balance attributable to their Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit was $310 million as of March 31, 2025. Management performed quantitative impairment assessments for the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, to test goodwill for impairment. As a result of the assessments performed, the Partnership determined that the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit was more likely than not greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025. We identified the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit goodwill impairment assessments as a critical audit matter.
The principal consideration for our determination that the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit goodwill impairment assessments is a critical audit matter is due to the estimation uncertainties and significant management judgment when estimating the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to management’s forecasted future cash flows and evaluation of the reasonableness of the valuation model used. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.
Our audit procedures related to the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit goodwill impairment assessments included the following, among others:
We tested the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessments, including those over the determination of the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit.
With the assistance of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge, we tested management’s process for calculating the goodwill impairment assessments, including the reasonableness of the valuation methodology and certain significant assumptions used in the calculations including the discount rate applied to the estimated future cash flows.
We evaluated the reasonableness of significant judgments including forecasted revenue and operating expenses. We tested whether these forecasts were reasonable and consistent with historical performance and industry projections and conditions found in industry reports, as applicable.

Our Water Solutions segment transports, treats, recycles and disposes of produced and flowback water generated from crude oil and natural gas production. We also sell produced water for reuse and recycle and brackish non-potable water to our producer customers to be used in their crude oil exploration and production activities. As part of processing water, we aggregate and sell recovered crude oil, also known as skim oil. We also dispose of solids such as tank bottoms, drilling fluids and drilling muds and perform other ancillary services such as truck and frac tank washouts. Our activities in this segment are underpinned by long-term, fixed fee contracts and acreage dedications, some of which contain minimum volume commitments with leading oil and gas companies including large, investment grade producer customers.
Our Crude Oil Logistics segment purchases crude oil from producers and marketers and transports it to refineries or for resale at pipeline injection stations, storage terminals, barge loading facilities, rail facilities and other trade hubs, and provides storage, terminaling and transportation services through its owned assets. Our activities in this segment are supported by certain long-term, fixed rate contracts with acreage dedications and which include minimum volume commitments on our storage tanks and owned and leased pipelines.
Our Liquids Logistics segment conducts supply operations for natural gas liquids to commercial, retail and industrial customers across the United States and Canada. These operations are conducted through ourfive owned terminals, third-party storage and terminal facilities, nine common carrier pipelines and a fleet of leased railcars (updated for the transactions discussed below). We also provide services for marine exports of butane through our facility located in Chesapeake, Virginia and we also own a propane pipeline in Michigan. We attempt to reduce our exposure to price fluctuations by using back-to-back physical contracts and pre-sale agreements that allow us to lock in a margin on a percentage of our winter volumes. We also enter into financially settled derivative contracts as economic hedges of our physical inventory, physical sales and physical purchase contracts.
As of March 31, 2025, we completed winding down our biodiesel business (see Note 17 for a further discussion).
On March 17, 2025, we signed a purchase and sale agreement to sell our refined products business, including certain working capital items, to a third-party. This sale closed on April 30, 2025.
The sale of our refined products business and winding down of our biodiesel business represent a strategic shift in our operations and will have a significant effect on our operations and financial results going forward. Accordingly, the results of operations and cash flows for our refined products and biodiesel businesses within our Liquids Logistics segment have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, the assets and liabilities related to our refined products and biodiesel businesses have been classified as either held for sale or discontinued operations within our March 31, 2025 and 2024 consolidated balance sheets (see Note 18 for a further discussion).
On February 5, 2025, we signed a purchase and sale agreement to sell 17 of our natural gas liquids terminals, most of our wholesale propane business, our interest in an unconsolidated entity and working capital to a third-party. This sale closed on April 30, 2025. The assets and liabilities of this portion of our Liquids Logistics segment have been classified as held for sale within our March 31, 2025 consolidated balance sheet (see Note 18 for a further discussion). We incurred $7.3 million of costs related to this transaction during the year ended March 31, 2025, and these costs have been recorded within loss on disposal or impairment of assets, net in our consolidated statement of operations.
As this sale transaction did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations or financial results, operations related to this portion of our Liquids Logistics segment have not been classified as discontinued operations.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of March 31, 2025, we entered into definitive agreements with third-parties to sell certain railcars, which have been classified as held for sale within our March 31, 2025 consolidated balance sheet (see Note 18 for a further discussion).
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments we do not control, but can exercise significant influence over, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting (see further discussion below). We also own an undivided interest in a crude oil pipeline, and include our proportionate share of assets, liabilities, and expenses related to this pipeline in our consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets and liabilities reported at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses reported during the periods presented.
Critical accounting estimates we make in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements include, among others, determining the impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, useful lives and recoverability of property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, the fair value of derivative instruments, estimating certain revenues, the fair value of asset retirement obligations, the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in acquisitions, the recoverability of inventories, the collectability of accounts and notes receivable, the valuation of contingent consideration liabilities and accruals for environmental matters. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is based upon assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. We use the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation technique inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and (iv) inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Instruments categorized in Level 2 include non-exchange traded derivative financial instruments such as over-the-counter commodity price swap and option contracts and forward commodity contracts. We determine the fair value of all of our derivative financial instruments utilizing pricing models for similar instruments. Inputs to the pricing models include publicly available prices and forward curves generated from a compilation of data gathered from third parties.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We record all derivative financial instrument contracts at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets except for normal purchase and normal sale transactions that are expected to result in physical delivery. For these transactions, we do not record the physical contracts at fair value at each balance sheet date; instead, we record the purchase or sale at the contracted value once the delivery occurs. We periodically enter into interest rate swaps to hedge variability in interest rates and effectively lock in the benchmark interest rate at the inception of the swap.
We have not designated any financial instruments as hedges for accounting purposes. All changes in the fair value of our physical contracts that do not qualify as normal purchases and normal sales and settlements (whether cash transactions or non-cash mark-to-market adjustments) are reported either within revenue (for sales contracts) or cost of sales (for purchase contracts) in our consolidated statements of operations, regardless of whether the contract is physically or financially settled, and within cash flows from operations in our consolidated statements of cash flows. The change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps is recorded as a net gain or loss within interest expense in our consolidated statement of operations and within cash flows from operations in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
We utilize various commodity derivative financial instrument contracts to attempt to reduce our exposure to price fluctuations. We do not enter into such contracts for trading purposes. Changes in assets and liabilities from commodity derivative financial instruments result primarily from changes in market prices, newly originated transactions, and the timing of settlements and are reported within cost of sales on the consolidated statements of operations, along with related settlements. We attempt to balance our contractual portfolio in terms of notional amounts and timing of performance and delivery obligations. However, net unbalanced positions can exist or are established based on our assessment of anticipated market movements. Inherent in the resulting contractual portfolio are certain business risks, including commodity price risk and credit risk. Commodity price risk is the risk that the market value of crude oil or natural gas liquids will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions. Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by suppliers, customers or financial counterparties to a contract. Procedures and limits for managing commodity price risks and credit risks are specified in our market risk policy and credit policy, respectively. Open commodity positions and market price changes are monitored daily and are reported to senior management and to marketing operations personnel. Credit risk is monitored daily and exposure is minimized through customer deposits, letters of credit, monitoring customer receivables relative to previously-approved credit limits, restrictions on product liftings, entering into master netting agreements that allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain transactions, reviewing the receivable aging and suspending sales to customers that have not timely paid outstanding invoices.
Cost of Sales
We include all costs we incur to acquire products, including the costs of purchasing, terminaling, and transporting inventory, prior to delivery to our customers, in cost of sales.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization in our consolidated statements of operations includes all depreciation of our property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets other than debt issuance costs, for which the amortization is recorded to interest expense and certain contract-based intangible assets, for which the amortization is recorded to either cost of sales or operating expense.
Income Taxes
We qualify as a partnership for income tax purposes. As such, we generally do not pay federal income tax. Rather, each owner reports his or her share of our income or loss on his or her individual tax return. The aggregate difference in the basis of our net assets for financial and tax reporting purposes cannot be readily determined, as we do not have access to information regarding each partner’s basis in the Partnership.
We have certain taxable corporate subsidiaries in the United States and Canada, and our operations in Texas are subject to a state franchise tax that is calculated based on revenues net of cost of sales. Our fiscal years 2021 to 2024 generally remain subject to examination by federal, state, and Canadian tax authorities. We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Changes in tax rates are recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
A publicly traded partnership is required to generate at least 90% of its gross income (as defined for federal income tax purposes) from certain qualifying sources. Income generated by our taxable corporate subsidiaries is excluded from this qualifying income calculation. Although we routinely generate income outside of our corporate subsidiaries that is non-qualifying, we believe that at least 90% of our gross income has been qualifying income for each of the calendar years since our initial public offering.
We have a net deferred tax liability of $29.9 million and $38.0 million at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, as a result of acquiring corporations in connection with certain of our acquisitions, which is included within other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in the deferred tax liability during the year ended March 31, 2025 was due to the sale of our ranches in April 2024, one ranch of which was treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes (see Note 17). The deferred tax liability is the tax effected cumulative temporary difference between the GAAP basis and tax basis of the acquired assets within the corporation. For GAAP purposes, certain of the acquired assets will be depreciated and amortized over time which will lower the GAAP basis. The deferred tax benefit recorded during the year ended March 31, 2025 was $7.1 million with an effective tax rate of 133.4%. The deferred tax benefit recorded during the year ended March 31, 2024 was $1.2 million with an effective tax rate of 31.7%. The change in the effective tax rate from March 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025 was due to the sale of our ranches in April 2024 and the associated net deferred tax liabilities.
We evaluate uncertain tax positions for recognition and measurement in the consolidated financial statements. To recognize a tax position, we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more likely than not threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. We hadno uncertain tax positions that required recognition in our consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2025 or 2024.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Management considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. We place our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; however, we maintain deposits in banks which exceed the amount of deposit insurance available. Management routinely assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes that any possible credit loss would be minimal.
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
We operate in the United States and Canada. We grant unsecured credit to customers under normal industry standards and terms, and have established policies and procedures that allow for an evaluation of each customer’s creditworthiness as well as general economic conditions. Accounts receivable are generated through transactions accounted for under the guidance of contracts with customers (ASC 606), leases (ASC 842) and non-monetary transactions (ASC 845). See Note 16 for a further discussion of our allowance for expected credit losses.
We execute master netting agreements with certain customers to mitigate our credit risk. Receivables and payables are reflected at a net balance to the extent a master netting agreement is in place and we intend to settle on a net basis.
We did not have any customers that represented over 10% of our consolidated revenues for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Inventories
Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using either the weighted-average cost or the first in, first out (FIFO) methods, including the cost of transportation and storage, and with net realizable value defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. In performing this analysis, we consider fixed-price forward commitments.
Inventories consist of the following at the dates indicated:
| March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Crude oil | $23,962 | $44,056 |
| Butane | 22,674 | 20,400 |
| Propane | 11,847 | 34,225 |
| Other | 11,433 | 7,917 |
| Total | $69,916 | $106,598 |
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
Investments we do not control, but can exercise significant influence over, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in partnerships and limited liability companies, unless our investment is considered to be minor, and investments in unincorporated joint ventures are also accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, we do not report the individual assets and liabilities of these entities on our consolidated balance sheets; instead, our ownership interests are reported within investments in unconsolidated entities on our consolidated balance sheets. Under the equity method, the investment is recorded at acquisition cost, increased by our proportionate share of any earnings and additional capital contributions and decreased by our proportionate share of any losses, distributions paid, and amortization of any excess investment. Excess investment is the amount by which our total investment exceeds our proportionate share of the net assets of the investee. We consider distributions received from unconsolidated entities which do not exceed cumulative equity in earnings subsequent to the date of investment to be a return on investment and are classified as operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. We consider distributions received from unconsolidated entities in excess of cumulative equity in earnings subsequent to the date of investment to be a return of investment and are classified as investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
At March 31, 2025, cumulative equity earnings and cumulative distributions of our unconsolidated entities since they were acquired were $21.3 million and $23.9 million, respectively.
Our investments in unconsolidated entities consist of the following at the date indicated. As of March 31, 2025, all of our investments in unconsolidated entities have been classified as assets held for sale within our March 31, 2025 consolidated balance sheet (see Note 18).
| March 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Entity | Segment | Ownership Interest | 2024 |
| (in thousands) | |||
| Water services and land company | Water Solutions | 50% | $15,228 |
| Water services and land company | Water Solutions | 10% | 2,926 |
| Water services and land company | Water Solutions | 50% | 2,026 |
| Natural gas liquids terminal company | Liquids Logistics | 50% | 125 |
| Total | $20,305 | ||
Other Noncurrent Assets
Other noncurrent assets consist of the following at the dates indicated:
| March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Linefill (1) | $5,240 | $37,861 |
| Loan receivable (2) | 3,089 | 4,776 |
| Minimum shipping fees - pipeline commitments (3) | — | 356 |
| Other | 11,646 | 9,135 |
| Total | $19,975 | $52,128 |
(1) Represents minimum volumes of product we are required to leave on certain third-party owned pipelines under long-term shipment commitments. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, linefill consisted of 90,881 and 502,686 barrels of crude oil, respectively. Linefill held in pipelines we own is included within property, plant and equipment (see Note 4).
(2) Represents the noncurrent portion of loan receivables, net of allowances for expected credit losses, primarily related to the sale of certain saltwater disposal assets (see Note 17). At March 31, 2025 and 2024, the loan receivable balance (which includes interest receivable) was $6.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively, of which $3.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, are recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
(3) Represents the noncurrent portion of minimum shipping fees paid in excess of volumes shipped, or deficiency credits, for a contract with a crude oil pipeline operator. This amount can be recovered when volumes shipped exceed the minimum monthly volume commitment. At March 31, 2024, the deficiency credit was $4.6 million, of which $4.3 million is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheet.
Accrued Expenses and Other Payables
Accrued expenses and other payables consist of the following at the dates indicated:
| March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Accrued compensation and benefits | $45,081 | $33,061 |
| Distributions payable | 29,845 | — |
| Accrued interest (1) | 25,308 | 58,335 |
| Excise and other tax liabilities | 13,100 | 13,192 |
| Derivative liabilities | 6,427 | 1,982 |
| Product exchange liabilities | — | 3,366 |
| Other | 15,472 | 62,666 |
| Total | $135,233 | $172,602 |
(1) Includes amounts accrued related to the LCT Capital, LLC (“LCT”) legal matter at March 31, 2024. On June 13, 2024, we paid LCT $63.3 million related to the legal judgment against us, of which $27.2 million represented interest and $0.1 million of costs awarded to LCT.
Amounts in the table above do not include liabilities classified as either held for sale or discontinued operations within our March 31, 2025 and 2024 consolidated balance sheets (see Note 18).
Property, Plant and Equipment
We record property, plant and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Acquisitions and improvements are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. As we dispose of assets, we remove the cost and related accumulated depreciation from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included within loss on disposal or impairment of assets, net. We compute depreciation expense of our property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (see Note 4).
Intangible Assets
Our intangible assets include contracts and arrangements acquired in business combinations, including customer relationships, customer commitments, pipeline capacity rights, rights-of-way and easements, water rights, and executory contracts and other agreements. In addition, we capitalize certain debt issuance costs associated with the ABL Facility (as defined herein). We amortize the majority of our intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (see Note 6). We amortize debt issuance costs over the terms of the related debt using a method that approximates the effective interest method.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate the carrying value of our long-lived assets (property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets) for potential impairment when events and circumstances warrant such a review. A long-lived asset group is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group is less than its carrying value. If the carrying value is not recoverable, an impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. When we cease to use an acquired trade name, we test the trade name for impairment using the relief from royalty method and we begin amortizing the trade name over its estimated useful life as a defensive asset. See Note 4 and Note 6 for a further discussion of long-lived asset impairments recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the fair value of such investment may have experienced a decline to less than its carrying value and the decline is other than temporary.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired businesses over the net fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Business combinations are accounted for using the “acquisition method.” We expect that all of our goodwill at March 31, 2025 is deductible for federal income tax purposes.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are evaluated for impairment at least annually. We perform our annual assessment of impairment on January 1 of our fiscal year, and more frequently if circumstances warrant.
For purposes of the goodwill impairment assessment, assets are grouped into “reporting units.” A reporting unit is either an operating segment or a component of an operating segment, depending on how similar the components of the operating segment are to each other in terms of operational and economic characteristics. For each reporting unit, we perform a qualitative assessment of relevant events and circumstances about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. If it is deemed more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we calculate the fair value of the reporting unit. Otherwise, further testing is not required. If the fair value of the reporting unit (including its inherent goodwill) is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the implied fair value of the goodwill of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, limited to the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit.
Estimates and assumptions used to perform the impairment evaluation are inherently uncertain and can significantly affect the outcome of the analysis. The estimates and assumptions we used in the annual goodwill impairment assessment included market participant considerations and future forecasted operating results. Changes in operating results and other assumptions could materially affect these estimates. See Note 5 for a further discussion and analysis of our goodwill impairment assessment.
Product Exchanges
Quantities of products receivable or returnable under exchange agreements are reported within prepaid expenses and other current assets and within accrued expenses and other payables in our consolidated balance sheets. We estimate the value of product exchange assets and liabilities based on the weighted-average cost basis of the inventory we have delivered or will deliver on the exchange, plus or minus location differentials.
Variable Interest Entities
We decide at the inception of each arrangement whether an entity in which an investment is made or in which we have other variable interests is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Generally, an entity is a VIE if: (1) the entity does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, (2) the entity’s investors lack any characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (3) the entity was established with non-substantive voting rights.
We consolidate VIEs when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the party that both: (1) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. If we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we account for the investment or other variable interests in a VIE in accordance with applicable GAAP.
During the year ended March 31, 2025, we created two new aviation entities whereby we own a 90% interest and members of management own a 10% interest (see Note 17 for a further discussion of these transactions). We also executed guarantees for the benefit of the lender that obligates us for the payment and performance of the aviation entities with respect to the repayment of the loans. Since we guaranteed the payment of the outstanding loans, we have concluded that the aviation entities are VIEs because the equity is not sufficient to fund the aviation entities activities without additional subordinated financial support. We have the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the aviation entities and have benefits through our ownership interest. Therefore, we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary and will consolidate the aviation entities in our consolidated financial statements and will include the noncontrolling interest as redeemable noncontrolling interest as discussed below.
The following table summarizes the balances related to the VIEs that are consolidated in our March 31, 2025 consolidated balance sheet (excluding intercompany eliminations at the time of consolidation) as well as our equity in the VIEs (in thousands):
| Cash and cash equivalents | $14 |
|---|---|
| Accounts receivable-affiliates | 135 |
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 108 |
| Property, plant and equipment, net | 15,984 |
| Accounts payable | (24) |
| Accrued expenses and other payables | (190) |
| Current maturities of long-term debt | (1,805) |
| Long-term debt, net | (9,818) |
| Redeemable noncontrolling interest | (424) |
| Partnership's equity in VIEs | $3,980 |
Generally, the assets of the individual consolidated VIEs can be used only to settle liabilities of each respective individual consolidated VIE and the liabilities of the individual consolidated VIEs are liabilities for which creditors or beneficial interest holders do not have recourse to the general credit of the Partnership. In general, our maximum exposure to loss due to involvement with the VIEs is limited to the amount of capital investment in the VIEs, if any, or the potential obligation to perform on the guarantees of the outstanding loans.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of certain consolidated subsidiaries that are owned by third-parties. Amounts are adjusted by the noncontrolling interest holder’s proportionate share of the subsidiaries’ earnings or losses each period and any distributions that are paid. Noncontrolling interests are reported as a component of equity, unless the noncontrolling interest is considered redeemable, in which case the noncontrolling interest is recorded between liabilities and equity (mezzanine or temporary equity) in our consolidated balance sheet. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is adjusted at each balance sheet date to its maximum redemption value if the amount is greater than the carrying value. The following table summarizes changes in our redeemable noncontrolling interest in our consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):
| Redeemable noncontrolling interests at March 31, 2024 | $— |
|---|---|
| Contributions from redeemable noncontrolling interest owners (Note 17) | 378 |
| Net income from continuing operations attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests | 46 |
| Redeemable noncontrolling interests at March 31, 2025 | $424 |
Acquisitions
To determine if a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or an acquisition of assets, we first calculate the relative fair values of the assets acquired. If substantially all of the relative fair value is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, or if not but the transaction does not include a significant process (does not meet the definition of a business), we record the transaction as an acquisition of assets. For acquisitions of assets, the purchase price is allocated based on the relative fair values and goodwill is not recorded. All other transactions are recorded as business combinations. We record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at their acquisition date fair values. For a business combination, the excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities is recorded as goodwill, which is not amortized but instead is evaluated for impairment at least annually (as described above).
Pursuant to GAAP, an entity is allowed a reasonable period of time (not to exceed one year) to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.
Contingent Consideration Liabilities
Certain business combinations in our Water Solutions segment included future royalty payments to the seller, which we recorded as contingent consideration liabilities as part of our purchase price allocation. The initial fair value was calculated based on an estimate of the activity related to the assets acquired in the transaction, either volumes or revenue, and an estimate of the expected useful life of the assets and discounted to its present value using an appropriate discount rate. The contingent consideration liabilities are recorded within accrued expenses and other payables and other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities are assessed each period to determine if there are any changes to the estimated expected activity and the expected useful life of the assets. The same process to calculate the initial fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities is used to calculate the updated fair value. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities are recorded within revaluation of liabilities in our consolidated statement of operations. The fair value estimates used in the analysis of the contingent consideration liabilities were primarily based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
The following table summarizes changes in our contingent consideration liabilities (in thousands):
| Contingent consideration liabilities at March 31, 2023 | $24,600 |
|---|---|
| Liabilities settled | (2,470) |
| Valuation adjustment (1) | 2,680 |
| Contingent consideration liabilities at March 31, 2024 (2) | 24,810 |
| Liabilities settled | (2,308) |
| Valuation adjustment (3) | (6,705) |
| Contingent consideration liabilities at March 31, 2025 (4) | $15,797 |
(1) Increase due primarily to higher expected produced water volumes from our customers, resulting in an increase to the expected future royalty payment.
(2) Includes $3.3 million which is recorded within accrued expenses and other payables and $21.5 million which is recorded within other noncurrent liabilities in our March 31, 2024 consolidated balance sheet.
(3) Decrease due primarily to lower expected produced water volumes from our customers, resulting in a decrease to the expected future royalty payment.
(4) Includes $2.0 million which is recorded within accrued expenses and other payables and $13.8 million which is recorded within other noncurrent liabilities in our March 31, 2025 consolidated balance sheet.
Reclassifications
In addition to the reclassifications related to assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations discussed in Note 1, we have also reclassified certain prior period financial statement information to be consistent with the classification methods used in the current fiscal year. For the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the income statement was revised to present revenues and cost of sales by product and service and other, compared to presenting revenues and cost of sales by segment in the March 31, 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”). Also, for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the elimination of intersegment sales is included in “Corporate and Other” as discussed in Note 11. These reclassifications did not impact previously reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, net income or cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which includes amendments requiring, among other things, disclosure of disaggregated information about specific categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in certain expense captions on the income statement. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and an annual disclosure of the definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 (which is the Partnership’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2027), and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 (which is the Partnership’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2028), with early adoption permitted. The ASU may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for the Partnership’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied prospectively with retrospective application permitted. We are currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, which includes amendments intended to improve the accounting for and disclosure of crypto assets. The ASU requires crypto assets to be measured at fair value each reporting period and for changes from remeasurement to be recognized in net income. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures for both annual and interim reporting periods to provide investors with relevant information to analyze and assess the exposure and risk of significant individual crypto asset holdings. The ASU is effective for the Partnership’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025, including interim periods during that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted and requires a cumulative-effect adjustment upon adoption. This ASU does not currently impact our financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which includes amendments intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU is effective for the Partnership’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2024, and interim periods within our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted and requires retrospective application. We adopted this ASU beginning with our March 31, 2025 Annual Report. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements but did change the presentation of the results of our reportable segments (see Note 11).
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) interest rate or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 which deferred the sunset date from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024 and left all other provisions of ASU 2020-04 unchanged. On April 13, 2022, the ABL Facility (as defined herein) was amended to replace the LIBOR benchmark with the SOFR (as defined herein) benchmark (as discussed further in Note 7). As of September 30, 2024, we no longer have any agreements outstanding that include a LIBOR reference rate.

Fiscal Year 2025 Goodwill Impairment Assessment
Due to lower than expected operating results in our Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit, it was decided that the goodwill within the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit should be tested for impairment as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025. We estimated the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit based on the income approach, also known as the discounted cash flow method, which utilizes the present value of future expected cash flows to estimate the fair value. The future cash flows of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit were projected based upon estimates as of the test date of future revenues, operating expenses and cash outflows necessary to support these cash flows, including working capital and maintenance capital expenditures. We also considered expectations regarding: (i) the crude oil price environment as reflected in crude oil forward prices as of the test date, (ii) volumes based on historical information and estimates of future drilling and completion activity, as well as expectations for future demand recovery and (iii) estimated fixed and variable costs. The discounted cash flows for the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit were based on five years of projected cash flows and we applied a discount rate and terminal multiple that we believe would be applied by a theoretical market participant in similar market transactions. Based on this testing, we concluded that as of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 2% and as of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 3%.
Due to the decision to wind-down our biodiesel business, it was decided that the goodwill within the Refined Products and Renewables reporting unit should be tested for impairment as of December 31, 2024. We estimated the fair value of the Refined Products and Renewables reporting unit based on the income approach, also known as the discounted cash flow method, which utilizes the present value of future expected cash flows to estimate the fair value. The future cash flows of the Refined Products and Renewables reporting unit were projected based upon estimates as of the test date of future revenues, operating expenses and cash outflows necessary to support these cash flows, including working capital and maintenance capital expenditures. We also considered expectations regarding: (i) volumes based on historical information and future demand and (ii) estimated fixed and variable costs. The discounted cash flows for the Refined Products and Renewables reporting unit were based on five years of projected cash flows and we applied a discount rate and terminal multiple that we believe would be applied by a theoretical market participant in similar market transactions. Based on this test, we concluded that the fair value of the Refined Products and Renewables reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 75%.
We performed a qualitative assessment as of January 1, 2025 to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit. Based on these qualitative assessments, we determined that the fair value of each of our reporting units was more likely than not greater than the carrying value of the reporting units as of January 1, 2025, with the exception of our Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit. See below for a further discussion of the testing.
Due to lower than expected operating results and the expected sale of a significant amount of the reporting units’ assets (see Note 1), it was decided that the goodwill within the Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit should be tested for impairment as of January 1, 2025. We estimated the fair value of the Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit based on both the market approach, which utilizes quoted prices, and the income approach, also known as the discounted cash flow method, which utilizes the present value of future expected cash flows to estimate the fair value. The market approach was used for the assets we expected to sell and the fair value was based on the negotiated sales price to be received for the transactions. The income approach was used to determine the fair value of the portion of the reporting units we were retaining. The future cash flows of the portion of the business being retained reporting unit were projected based upon estimates as of the test date of future revenues, operating expenses and cash outflows necessary to support these cash flows, including working capital and maintenance capital expenditures. We also considered expectations regarding: (i) the margins to be generated on product sold, (ii) estimated volumes based on historical information and estimates of future growth, (iii) renewal of certain customer contracts and (iv) estimated fixed and variable costs. The discounted cash flows for the portion of the reporting unit to be retained were based on five years of projected cash flows and we applied a discount rate and terminal multiple that we believe would be applied by a theoretical market participant in similar market transactions. The fair value calculated by the market approach and by the income approach were added together to calculate the fair value of the entire reporting unit. Based on this test, we concluded that the fair value of the Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit was less than its carrying value by approximately 27%.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, in our Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $17.9 million within loss on disposal or impairment of assets, net in our consolidated statement of operations.
Fiscal Year 2024 Goodwill Impairment Assessment
We performed a qualitative assessment as of January 1, 2024 to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit. Based on these qualitative assessments, we determined that the fair value of each of our reporting units was more likely than not greater than the carrying value of the reporting units as of January 1, 2024, with the exception of our Crude Oil Logistics and Wholesale/Terminal reporting units. See below for a further discussion of the testing.
Due to lower than expected operating results, it was decided that the goodwill within the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit should be tested for impairment as of January 1, 2024. We estimated the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit based on the income approach, also known as the discounted cash flow method, which utilizes the present value of future expected cash flows to estimate the fair value. The future cash flows of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit were projected based upon estimates as of the test date of future revenues, operating expenses and cash outflows necessary to support these cash flows, including working capital and maintenance capital expenditures. We also considered expectations regarding: (i) the crude oil price environment as reflected in crude oil forward prices as of the test date, (ii) volumes based on historical information and estimates of future drilling and completion activity, as well as expectations for future demand recovery and (iii) estimated fixed and variable costs. The discounted cash flows for the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit were based on five years of projected cash flows and we applied a discount rate and terminal multiple that we believe would be applied by a theoretical market participant in similar market transactions. Based on this test, we concluded that the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 4%.
Due to lower than expected operating results, it was decided that the goodwill within the Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit should be tested for impairment as of January 1, 2024. We estimated the fair value of the Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit based on the income approach, also known as the discounted cash flow method, which utilizes the present value of future expected cash flows to estimate the fair value. The future cash flows of the Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit were projected based upon estimates as of the test date of future revenues, operating expenses and cash outflows necessary to support these cash flows, including working capital and maintenance capital expenditures. We also considered expectations regarding: (i) the margins to be generated on product sold, (ii) estimated volumes based on historical information and estimates of future growth, (iii) renewal of certain customer contracts and (iv) estimated fixed and variable costs. The discounted cash flows for the Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit were based on five years of projected cash flows and we applied a discount rate and terminal multiple that we believe would be applied by a theoretical market participant in similar market transactions. Based on this test, we concluded that the fair value of the Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit was less than its carrying value by approximately 23%.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, in our Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $69.2 million within loss on disposal or impairment of assets, net in our consolidated statement of operations.
Fiscal Year 2023 Goodwill Impairment Assessment
We performed a qualitative assessment as of January 1, 2023 to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit. Based on these qualitative assessments, we determined that the fair value of each of our reporting units was more likely than not greater than the carrying value of the reporting units as of January 1, 2023, with the exception of our Crude Oil Logistics and Wholesale/Terminal reporting units. See below for a further discussion of the testing.
Due to lower than expected operating results, it was decided that the goodwill within the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit should be tested for impairment as of January 1, 2023. We estimated the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit based on the income approach, also known as the discounted cash flow method, which utilizes the present value of future expected cash flows to estimate the fair value. The future cash flows of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit were projected based upon estimates as of the test date of future revenues, operating expenses and cash outflows necessary to support these cash flows, including working capital and maintenance capital expenditures. We also considered expectations regarding: (i) the crude oil price environment as reflected in crude oil forward prices as of the test date, (ii) volumes based on historical information and estimates of future drilling and completion activity, as well as expectations for future demand recovery and (iii) estimated fixed and variable costs. The discounted cash flows for the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit were based on five years of projected cash flows and we applied a discount rate and terminal multiple that we believe would be applied by a theoretical market participant in similar market transactions. Based on this test, we concluded that the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 18%.
Due to lower than expected operating results, it was decided that the goodwill within the Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit should be tested for impairment as of January 1, 2023. We estimated the fair value of the Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit based on the income approach, also known as the discounted cash flow method, which utilizes the present value of future expected cash flows to estimate the fair value. The future cash flows of the Wholesale/Terminal reporting unit were projected based upon estimates as of the test date of future revenues, operating expenses and cash outflows necessary to support these cash flows, including working capital and maintenance capital expenditures.

(1) Debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility are reported within intangible assets, rather than as a reduction of the carrying amount of long-term debt. The unamortized debt issuance costs for Term Loan B include a $4.4 million discount.
ABL Facility
Total commitments under the ABL Facility are $550.0 million, which we reduced from $600.0 million effective February 13, 2025, and it includes a $200.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. Availability under the ABL Facility is subject to a borrowing base that is determined by calculating the amount equal to the sum of our eligible cash, outstanding accounts receivable balances with investment and non-investment grade counterparties, certain inventory, including inventory on railcars and unsettled derivative contracts. These amounts are subject to certain percentage and dollar amount caps, as described within the ABL Facility. The borrowing base is calculated monthly pursuant to a borrowing base certificate we deliver to the administrative agent. Availability under the ABL Facility is based on the lower of the current borrowing base and the total commitments, less borrowings and outstanding letters of credit. At March 31, 2025, $109.0 million was outstanding under the ABL Facility, letters of credit outstanding were $60.9 million, and we had a borrowing base of $397.7 million. The ABL Facility is scheduled to mature at the earliest of (a) February 2, 2029, or (b) 91 days prior to the earliest maturity date in respect to any of our indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million or greater, subject to certain exceptions.
All borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) or the alternative base rate to provide for a 0.25% decrease based on our consolidated net leverage ratio. The applicable margin for alternate base rate loans varies from 1.50% to 2.00% and the applicable margin for SOFR varies from 2.50% to 3.00%. In addition, a commitment fee will be charged and payable quarterly in arrears based on the average daily unused portion of the revolving commitments under the ABL Facility. Such commitment fee will be 0.50% per year, subject to a reduction to 0.375% in the event our fixed charge coverage ratio is greater than or equal to 1.75 to 1.00.
At March 31, 2025, the borrowings under the ABL Facility had an average interest rate of 9.50% calculated as the prime rate of 7.50% plus a margin of 2.00% on the alternate base rate borrowings. On March 31, 2025, the interest rate in effect on letters of credit was 3.00%.
The ABL Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, distributions and other restricted payments, investments (including acquisitions) and transactions with affiliates. The ABL Facility contains, as the only financial covenant, a fixed charge coverage ratio that is tested based on the financial statements for the most recently ended fiscal quarter upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event (as defined in the ABL Facility). At March 31, 2025, no Cash Dominion Event had occurred.
At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants under the ABL Facility.
Term Loan B
The Term Loan B was issued at 99.25% of par for gross proceeds of $694.8 million. The Term Loan B was issued pursuant to a credit agreement dated February 2, 2024 (“Term Loan Credit Agreement”).
The Term Loan B bears interest at a SOFR-based rate or an alternate base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for alternate base rate loans varies from 3.25% to 3.50% and the applicable margin for SOFR-based loans varies from 4.25% to 4.50%, in each case, depending on our consolidated first lien net leverage ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement). On August 5, 2024, we amended the Term Loan B agreement to reduce the SOFR margin from 4.50% to 3.75%.
The Term Loan B matures on February 2, 2031 and will amortize in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount beginning with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, with the balance payable on maturity. We have the ability to prepay the Term Loan B at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs and a premium of 1% of the principal amount prepaid, if the prepayment occurs prior to the six-month anniversary of the closing date. The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary mandatory prepayment requirements, including mandatory prepayments as a result of (a) excess cash flow (subject to certain customary exceptions and thresholds), (b) asset sales (subject to reinvestment rights and certain customary exceptions and thresholds) and (c) the incurrence of non-permitted indebtedness.
Under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, we are permitted to request, from time to time, (i) increases in the Term Loan B, and/or (ii) the establishment of new tranches of incremental term loans, in an aggregate principal amount of up to the greater of $150 million and 20% of consolidated EBITDA plus such additional amounts depending upon satisfaction of certain ratio tests and other conditions, in each case subject to commitments from lenders and customary conditions.
The Term Loan B is secured by first priority liens on substantially all of our assets other than our accounts receivable, inventory, pledged deposit accounts, cash and cash equivalents, renewable energy tax credits and related assets and second priority liens on our accounts receivable, inventory, pledged deposit accounts, cash and cash equivalents, renewable energy tax credits and related assets.
At March 31, 2025, the borrowings under the Term Loan B had an interest rate of SOFR of 4.32% plus a margin of 3.75%.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, distributions and other restricted payments, investments (including acquisitions) and transactions with affiliates. The Term Loan Credit Agreement requires that we maintain, on a quarterly basis, beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2024, a debt service coverage rate (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) of no less than 1.1 to 1.0. At March 31, 2025, our debt service coverage rate was approximately 2.15 to 1.0.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains other customary terms, events of default and covenants.
At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants under Term Loan B.

Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
In August 2015, LCT Capital, LLC (“LCT”) filed a lawsuit against the GP and the Partnership seeking payment for investment banking services relating to the purchase of TransMontaigne Inc. and related assets in July 2014. After pre-trial rulings, LCT was limited to pursuing claims of (i) quantum meruit (the value of the services rendered by LCT) and (ii) fraudulent misrepresentation against the defendants. Following a jury trial conducted in Delaware state court from July 23, 2018 through August 1, 2018, the jury returned a verdict consisting of an award of $4.0 million for quantum meruit and $29.0 million for fraudulent misrepresentation, subject to statutory interest. On December 5, 2019, in response to our post-trial motion, the Court issued an Order overturning the jury’s damages award and ordering the case to be set for a damages-only trial. Ultimately, the Supreme Court of Delaware issued a ruling that (a) LCT was not entitled to “benefit-of-the-bargain” damages on its fraud claim; (b) LCT was not entitled to receive fraudulent misrepresentation damages separate from its quantum meruit damages; (c) the trial court abused its discretion when it ordered a new trial on damages relating to LCT’s claim of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (d) the trial court properly ordered a new trial on LCT’s claim of quantum meruit damages. The re-trial of the quantum meruit claim was conducted in Delaware state court from February 6, 2023 through February 15, 2023 and resulted in the jury returning a verdict consisting of an award of $36.0 million, subject to statutory interest and costs, as applicable. The GP and the Partnership contended that the jury verdict was not supportable by controlling law or the evidentiary record, and on July 28, 2023, filed our notice of appeal to the Supreme Court of Delaware. On February 7, 2024, the Supreme Court of Delaware held before the Court en Banc oral arguments for the appeal matters. On May 28, 2024, the Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the jury verdict and remanded the case back to the trial court to re-calculate the amount of the pre- and post-judgment interest accrual. As of March 31, 2024, we accrued $62.1 million related to this matter, of which approximately $26.1 million represents interest accrued through March 31, 2024 and $0.1 million of costs awarded to the plaintiff. Interest accrued until the amount of the judgment was paid. On June 13, 2024 we paid LCT $63.3 million related to the legal judgment against us, of which $27.2 million represented interest and $0.1 million of costs awarded to LCT.
The Partnership is a party defendant to a purported class action complaint filed in the federal court in the Northern District of Oklahoma styled Gary R. Underwood, Successor Trustee for the James L. Price Revocable Living Trust, on behalf of the Trust and all others similarly situated v. NGL Energy Partners LP, Case No. 4:21-cv-00135-CVE-SH. This case seeks class certification on behalf of owners who allege the Partnership’s Crude Oil Logistics group violated Oklahoma’s Production Revenue Standards Act when it failed to include statutory interest on proceeds payments it made to certain mineral owners and to state unclaimed property divisions for oil purchased from certain Oklahoma wells. A substantial portion of the statutory interest claimed to be owed in the lawsuit related to suspended proceeds we inherited from our predecessors and remitted to various state unclaimed property divisions in 2016. With no admission of liability or wrongdoing, but only to avoid the expense and uncertainty of future litigation, the Partnership entered into a settlement agreement in this case to resolve all claims made against it by the plaintiff and the proposed class and paid approximately $8.4 million to the plaintiff and the proposed class. During the final fairness hearing on June 15, 2023, the settlement agreement was approved by the court and an order granting final approval of the class action settlement was entered into record.
We are party to various other claims, legal actions, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of our management, the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions, and complaints, after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage, and other arrangements, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently uncertain, and estimates of our liabilities may change materially as circumstances develop.
Environmental Matters
At March 31, 2025, we have an environmental liability, measured on an undiscounted basis, of $1.2 million, which is recorded within accrued expenses and other payables in our consolidated balance sheet. Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. Although we believe our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, risks of additional costs and liabilities are inherent in our business, and there can be no assurance that we will not incur significant costs. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from the operations, could result in substantial costs. Accordingly, we have adopted policies, practices, and procedures in the areas of pollution control, product safety, occupational health, and the handling, storage, use, and disposal of hazardous materials designed to prevent material environmental or other damage, and to limit the financial liability that could result from such events. However, some risk of environmental or other damage is inherent in our business.
We have contractual and regulatory obligations at certain facilities for which we have to perform remediation, dismantlement or removal activities when the assets are retired. Our liability for asset retirement obligations is discounted to present value. To calculate the liability, we make estimates and assumptions about the retirement cost and the timing of retirement. Changes in our assumptions and estimates may occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events.
The following table summarizes changes in our asset retirement obligations, which is reported within other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):
| Asset retirement obligations at March 31, 2023 | $35,163 |
|---|---|
| Liabilities incurred | 23,088 |
| Liabilities associated with disposed assets (1) | (3,718) |
| Liabilities settled | (222) |
| Liabilities held for sale (2) | (356) |
| Accretion expense | 2,619 |
| Asset retirement obligations at March 31, 2024 | 56,574 |
| Liabilities incurred | 12,161 |
| Liabilities associated with disposed assets (3) | (274) |
| Liabilities settled | (1,940) |
| Liabilities held for sale (4) | (1,149) |
| Accretion expense | 4,200 |
| Asset retirement obligations at March 31, 2025 | $69,572 |
(1) Relates to the sale of certain saltwater disposal wells and other long-lived assets within our Water Solutions segment and the sale of a natural gas liquids terminal in our Liquids Logistics segment (see Note 17).
(2) Relates to asset retirement obligations classified as held for sale for the sale of certain saltwater disposal assets within our Water Solutions segment (see Note 18).
(3) Relates to the sale of certain saltwater disposal wells within our Water Solutions segment (see Note 17).
(4) Relates to asset retirement obligations classified as held for sale for the sale of a portion of our Liquids Logistics segment and certain assets within our Water Solutions segment (see Note 18).
In addition to the obligations described above, we may be obligated to remove facilities or perform other remediation upon retirement of certain other assets. However, the fair value of the asset retirement obligation cannot currently be reasonably estimated because the settlement dates are indeterminable. We will record an asset retirement obligation for these assets in the periods in which settlement dates are reasonably determinable.
Pipeline Capacity Agreement
We have a noncancelable agreement with a crude oil pipeline operator, which guarantees us minimum monthly shipping capacity on the pipeline. As a result, we are required to pay the minimum shipping fees if actual shipments are less than our allotted capacity. Under this agreement, we have the ability to recover minimum shipping fees previously paid if our shipping volumes exceed the minimum monthly shipping commitment during each month remaining under the agreement, and this agreement allows us to continue shipping up tosix months after the maturity date of the contract in order to recapture previously paid minimum shipping delinquency fees.
All future minimum throughput payments under this agreement were recognized during the year ended March 31, 2025.
Sales and Purchase Contracts
We have entered into product sales and purchase contracts for which we expect the parties to physically settle and deliver the inventory in future periods.
At March 31, 2025, we had the following commodity purchase commitments:

We account for the contracts shown in the tables above using the normal purchase and normal sale election. Under this accounting policy election, we do not record the physical contracts at fair value at each balance sheet date; instead, we record the purchase or sale at the contracted value once the delivery occurs. Contracts in the tables above may have offsetting derivative contracts (described in Note 10) or inventory positions (described in Note 2).
Certain other forward purchase and sale contracts do not qualify for the normal purchase and normal sale election. These contracts are recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet and are not included in the tables above. These contracts are classified as either held for sale or discontinued operations within our March 31, 2025 and 2024 consolidated balance sheets (see Note 18).
Other Commitments
We have noncancelable agreements for product storage, railcar spurs, capital projects and real estate. The following table summarizes future minimum payments under these agreements at March 31, 2025 (in thousands):

Note 9—Equity
Partnership Equity
The Partnership’s equity consists of a 0.1% GP interest and a 99.9% limited partner interest, which consists of common units. Our GP has the right, but not the obligation, to contribute a proportionate amount of capital to the Partnership to maintain its 0.1% GP interest. Our GP is not required to guarantee or pay any of our debts or obligations. At March 31, 2025, we owned 8.69% of our GP.
General Partner Equity
In connection with the issuance of common units for the vesting of restricted units during the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we issued 586 and 1,232, respectively, notional units to our GP for less than $0.1 million in each of the years, in order to maintain its 0.1% interest in the Partnership.
In connection with the repurchase of common units (see below for further discussion), we repurchased 500 notional units from our GP for less than $0.1 million.
Common Unit Repurchase Program
On June 5, 2024, the board of directors of our GP authorized a common unit repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common units from time to time in the open market or in other privately negotiated transactions. This program does not have a fixed expiration date. The common unit repurchase program authorization does not obligate us to repurchase any dollar amount or number of common units. During the year ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 500,000 units for an aggregate price of $2.1 million, including commissions.
Common Unit and Preferred Unit Distributions
The board of directors of our GP temporarily suspended all distributions (common unit distributions which began with the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and preferred unit distributions which began with the quarter ended March 31, 2021) in order to deleverage our balance sheet and meet certain financial performance ratios.
On February 6, 2024, the board of directors of our GP declared a cash distribution of 50% of the outstanding distribution arrearages through December 31, 2023 to preferred unitholders.

(1)The distribution rate was 10.00% (equal to $100.00 per every 1,000 in unit value per year).
At any time after July 2, 2019 (“Closing Date”), the Partnership shall have the right to redeem all of the outstanding Class D Preferred Units at a price per Class D Preferred Unit equal to the sum of the then-unpaid accumulations with respect to such Class D Preferred Unit and the greater of either the applicable multiple on invested capital or the applicable redemption price based on an applicable internal rate of return, as more fully described in our Partnership Agreement. At any time on or after the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, each Class D Preferred Unitholder will have the right to require the Partnership to redeem on a date not prior to the 180th day after such anniversary all or a portion of the Class D Preferred Units then held by such preferred unitholder for the then-applicable redemption price, which may be paid in cash or, at the Partnership’s election, a combination of cash and a number of common units not to exceed one-half of the aggregate then- applicable redemption price, as more fully described in our Partnership Agreement.

The consent of a majority of the then-outstanding Class D Preferred Units, with one vote per Class D Preferred Unit, shall be required to approve any matter for which the preferred unitholders are entitled to vote as a separate class or the consent of the representative of the Class D Preferred Unitholders, as applicable.
Equity-Based Incentive Compensation
Our GP adopted a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), which allowed for the issuance of equity-based compensation. Our GP granted certain restricted units to employees and directors, which vest in tranches, subject to the continued service of the recipients through the vesting date (“Service Awards”). The Service Awards may also vest upon a change of control, at the discretion of the board of directors of our GP. No distributions accrue to or are paid on the Service Awards during the vesting period. As the LTIP expired on May 10, 2021, we hadno common units available for grant during the year ended March 31, 2025, and the last of our outstanding Service Awards vested on November 15, 2023.
During the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded compensation expense related to Service Awards of $1.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
Note 10—Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current assets and liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Therefore, these assets and liabilities are not presented in the following table.

These contracts are derivatives we have entered into as an economic hedge against the risk of mismatches between fixed and floating price physical obligations.
(2) See further discussion of these instruments in “Interest Rate Risk” below.
Amounts in the tables above do not include assets and liabilities classified as either held for sale or discontinued operations within our March 31, 2025 and 2024 consolidated balance sheets (see Note 18).
The following table summarizes the net (losses) gains recorded from our commodity derivatives to revenues and cost of sales in our consolidated statements of operations for the periods indicated (in thousands):
| Year Ended March 31, | |
|---|---|
| 2025 | $(4,482) |
| 2024 | $(12,836) |
| 2023 | $19,111 |
Amounts in the table above do not include net gains and losses from our commodity derivatives related to our refined products and biodiesel businesses, as these amounts have been classified within discontinued operations within our consolidated statements of operations (see Note 18).
During the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded a net loss of $0.4 million and a net gain of $0.5 million, respectively, from our interest rate swaps to interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
Credit Risk
We have credit policies that we believe minimize our overall credit risk, including an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition (including credit ratings), collateral requirements under certain circumstances, and the use of industry standard master netting agreements, which allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain transactions. At March 31, 2025, our primary counterparties were retailers, resellers, energy marketers, producers, refiners, and dealers. This concentration of counterparties may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, as the counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other conditions. If a counterparty does not perform on a contract, we may not realize amounts that have been recorded in our consolidated balance sheets and recognized in our net income.
Interest Rate Risk
Long-Term Debt
The ABL Facility is variable-rate debt with interest rates that are generally indexed to the prime rate or SOFR plus an applicable margin (see Note 7 for the current rates on the ABL Facility).
The Term Loan B is variable-rate debt with interest rates that are generally indexed to SOFR plus an applicable margin (see Note 7 for the current rates on the Term Loan B).
Interest Rate Swaps
In March and April 2024, we entered into interest rate swaps totaling $400.0 million to reduce the variability of cash outflows associated with our floating-rate, SOFR-based borrowings, including borrowings on the Term Loan B. Under these arrangements, we pay fixed interest rates of 4.32% and 4.79%, respectively, in exchange for SOFR-based variable interest through April 2026. In September 2024, we entered into the following transaction:
For the $200.0 million interest rate swap entered into in April 2024, we extended the original maturity date of April 20, 2026 to a new maturity date of April 19, 2028; and
Blended the existing swap rate for this extended swap with the then prevailing interest rate swap rate, which lowered the rate from 4.79% to 3.842%.
Preferred Unit Distributions
The current distribution rate for the Class B, Class C and Class D Preferred Units is a floating rate of the three-month CME Term SOFR plus a fixed spread (see Note 9 for the current distribution rates).
Fair Value of Fixed-Rate Notes
The following table provides fair values estimates of our fixed-rate notes at March 31, 2025 (in thousands):
| 2029 Senior Secured Notes | $902,250 |
|---|---|
| 2032 Senior Secured Notes | $1,299,458 |
For the 2029 Senior Secured Notes and 2032 Senior Secured Notes, the fair value estimates were developed based on publicly traded quotes and would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Note 11—Segments
Our operations are organized into three reportable segments: (i) Water Solutions, (ii) Crude Oil Logistics and (iii) Liquids Logistics. These segments have been identified based on the differing products and services, regulatory environment and the expertise required for these operations. Our Liquids Logistics reportable segment includes operating segments that have been aggregated based on the nature of the products and services provided. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our chief executive officer. Adjusted EBITDA is reviewed by the CODM to evaluate performance and make business decisions. We define Adjusted EBITDA for Water Solutions as revenue minus operating and general and administrative expense, which excludes, accretion expense for asset retirement obligations (“Accretion Expense”) and legal and advisory costs associated with acquisitions and dispositions (“Acquisition Expense”), and plus or minus other reconciling items. We define Adjusted EBITDA for Crude Oil Logistics and Liquid Logistics as revenue minus cost of sales, which excludes unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or realizable value adjustments and amortization expense for certain intangible assets, and plus or minus other reconciling segment items. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for ourthree reportable segments is presented in the Reportable Segment Information tables below.
See Note 1 for a discussion of the products and services of our reportable segments. The remainder of our business operations is presented as “Corporate and Other” and consists of certain corporate expenses that are not allocated to the reportable segments and the amounts to eliminate intercompany or intersegment transactions. Intercompany or intersegment transactions are recorded based on prices negotiated between the segments. Intrasegment transactions eliminations are recorded within each reportable segment. All of the tables below do not include amounts related to our refined products and biodiesel businesses, as these amounts have been classified as discontinued operations within our consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented (see Note 1).

Other Related Party Transactions
During the year ended March 31, 2025, we created two new aviation entities whereby we own a 90% interest and members of management own a 10% interest (see Note 17 for a further discussion of these transactions).
On November 22, 2024, we purchased 16,734,375 of our outstanding warrants for $5.0 million from a greater than 10% beneficial owner of our common units (see Note 9 for a further discussion).
Note 13—Employee Benefit Plan
We have established a defined contribution 401(k) plan to assist our eligible employees in saving for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. The 401(k) plan permits all eligible employees to make voluntary pre-tax contributions to the plan, subject to applicable tax limitations. For every dollar that employees contribute up to 4% of their eligible compensation (as defined in the plan), we contribute one dollar, plus 50 cents for every dollar employees contribute between 4 and 6% of their eligible compensation (as defined in the plan). Our matching contributions vest over an employee’s first two years of employment, subject to a participant’s continued service. Expenses under the plan for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $2.7 million, $2.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Expenses for matching contributions related to our refined products and biodiesel businesses have been classified within discontinued operations within our consolidated statements of operations (see Note 18).
Note 14—Revenue from Contracts with Customers
We recognize revenue for services and products under revenue contracts as our obligations to either perform services or deliver or sell products under the contracts are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in the contract and is recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Our revenue contracts in scope under ASC 606 primarily have a single performance obligation. The evaluation of when performance obligations have been satisfied and the transaction price that is allocated to our performance obligations requires significant judgment and assumptions, including our evaluation of the timing of when control of the underlying good or service has transferred to our customers and the relative stand-alone selling price of goods and services provided to customers under contracts with multiple performance obligations. Actual results can vary from those judgments and assumptions. We do not have any material contracts with multiple performance obligations or under which we receive material amounts of non-cash consideration. Our costs to obtain or fulfill our revenue contracts were not material as of March 31, 2025.
The majority of our revenue agreements are in scope under ASC 606 and the remainder of our revenue comes from contracts that contain nonmonetary exchanges or leases in the scope of ASC 845 and ASC 842, respectively. See Note 11 for a detail of disaggregated revenue.
Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to allow customers to secure the right to reserve the product or storage capacity to be received or used at a later date, not to receive financing from our customers or to provide customers with financing.
We report taxes collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities, such as sales and use taxes, on a net basis. We include amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs in revenues in our consolidated statements of operations.
Water Solutions Performance Obligations
Within the Water Solutions segment, revenue is disaggregated into two primary revenue streams that include service revenue and commodity sales revenue. For contracts involving disposal services, we accept produced water and solids for disposal at our facilities. The determination of transaction price, which is generally considered to be variable, under these contracts involves significant judgment as it is dependent upon the amount of volume of produced water or solids that are delivered to us by the customer over the term of the contract and the fees charged per barrel, which can either be a fixed amount per barrel or variable due to changes in inflation or other factors. Under certain contracts, the customer has committed to delivering to us a minimum volume of produced water over a specified time period. If the customer does not deliver the committed volumes, we receive a shortfall fee if the customer does not deliver their commitment. At each reporting period, we make a determination as to the likelihood of earning this fee. We recognize revenue from these contracts when (i) actual volumes are received; and (ii) when the likelihood of a customer exercising its remaining rights to make up the deficient volumes under minimum volume commitments becomes remote (also known as the breakage model).
For all of our disposal contracts within the Water Solutions segment, revenue will be recognized over time utilizing the output method based on the volume of produced water or solids we accept from the customer. For contracts that involve the sale of recovered crude oil and reuse, recycled and brackish non-potable water, we will recognize revenue at a point in time, based on when control of the product is transferred to the customer.
Crude Oil Logistics Performance Obligations
Within the Crude Oil Logistics segment, revenue is disaggregated into two primary revenue streams that include revenue from the sale of commodities and service revenue. For sales of commodities, we are obligated to deliver a predetermined amount of crude oil, primarily on a month-to-month basis, to our customers. For these types of agreements, revenue is recognized at a point in time based on when the crude oil is delivered and control is transferred to the customer.
For revenue received from services rendered, we are obligated to provide throughput services to move crude oil via pipeline or railcar or to provide terminal maintenance services. In either case, the obligation is satisfied over time utilizing the output method based on each volume of crude oil that is moved from the origination point to the final destination or based on the passage of time.
Liquids Logistics Performance Obligations
Within the Liquids Logistics segment, revenue is disaggregated into two primary revenue streams that include revenue from the sale of commodities and service revenue. For sales of commodities, we are obligated to deliver a specified amount of product over a specified period of time. For these types of agreements, revenue is recognized at a point in time based on when the product is delivered and control is transferred to the customer.
For revenue received from services rendered, we offer a variety of services which include: (i) railcar transportation services; (ii) transloading services; and (iii) logistics services. We are obligated to provide these services over a predetermined period of time. All revenue from services is recognized over time utilizing the output method based on volumes stored or moved.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Most of our service contracts are such that we have the right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date. Therefore, we utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18 under which we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice. Applying this practical expedient, we are not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations under these contracts. The following table summarizes the amount and timing of revenue recognition for such contracts at March 31, 2025 (in thousands):
| Year Ending March 31, | |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $81,881 |
| 2027 | 69,896 |
| 2028 | 59,402 |
| 2029 | 62,433 |
| 2030 | 53,717 |
| Thereafter | 57,989 |
| Total | $385,318 |
Many agreements are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, we utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50 that exempts us from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. Additionally, for our product sales contracts, we have elected the practical expedient set out in ASC 606-10-50-14A, which states that we are not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these agreements, each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation and therefore future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. Under product sales contracts, the variability arises as both volume and pricing (typically index-based) are not known until the product is delivered.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Amounts owed from our customers under our revenue contracts are typically billed as the service is being provided on a monthly basis and are due within 1-30 days of billing, and are classified as accounts receivable on our consolidated balance sheets. Under certain of our contracts, we recognize revenues in excess of billings, referred to as contract assets, within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Accounts receivable from contracts with customers are presented within accounts receivable and accounts receivable-affiliates in our consolidated balance sheets.
Under certain of our contracts, we may be entitled to receive payments in advance of satisfying our performance obligations under the contract. We recognize a liability for these payments in excess of revenue recognized, referred to as deferred revenue or contract liabilities, within advance payments received from customers in our consolidated balance sheets. Our deferred revenue primarily relates to:
Prepayments. Some revenue contracts contain prepayment provisions within our Liquids Logistics segment. In some cases, we also receive prepayments from customers purchasing commodities, which allows the customer to secure the right to receive their requested volumes in a future period. Revenue from these contracts is initially deferred, thus creating a contract liability.
Contracts with variable volumes and pricing. As described above in our Water Solutions segment, we revise the estimate of variable consideration at each reporting period. As the actual amount billed and received from the customer may differ from the amount of revenue recognized, a contract asset or liability is recorded.
Capital reimbursements. Certain contracts in our Water Solutions segment require that our customers reimburse us for capital expenditures related to the construction of long-lived assets, such as water gathering pipelines, booster stations and custody transfer points, utilized to provide services to them under the revenue contracts. Because we consider these amounts as consideration from customers associated with ongoing services to be provided to customers, we defer these upfront payments in deferred revenue and recognize the amounts in revenue over the life of the associated revenue contract as the performance obligations are satisfied under the contract.
The following tables summarize the balances of our contract assets and liabilities at the dates indicated:

Note 15—Leases
Lessee Accounting
Our leasing activity primarily consists of product storage, office space, real estate, railcars, and equipment. We determine if an agreement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If an arrangement is determined to contain a lease, we classify the lease as an operating lease or a finance lease depending on the terms of the arrangement. Our leases are classified as operating and finance leases. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term when we control the use of the asset by obtaining substantially all of the economic benefits of the asset and directing the use of the asset. Operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities with an initial term of greater than one year are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the interest rate implicit in our leases is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our incremental borrowing rate represents the interest rate which we would pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term in a similar economic environment. We do not have any leases that provide for guarantees of residual value.
Our lease agreements may include options to extend or terminate the lease which are included in the measurement of our operating lease liability when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Lease renewal terms vary fromone year to 30 years. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have variable lease payments, including adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate, such as a consumer price index, fair value adjustments to lease payments, and common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and insurance payments in certain real estate leases. We also have certain land leases within our Water Solutions segment that require us to pay a royalty, which could be based on a flat rate per barrel disposed or a percentage of revenue generated. Variable lease payments are excluded from operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred. Operating lease right-of-use assets also include any lease prepayments and exclude lease incentives. For leases acquired as a result of an acquisition, the right-of-use asset also includes adjustments for any favorable or unfavorable market terms present in the lease.
Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less that do not include a purchase option, with the exception of railcar leases, are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is disclosed below.
We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For certain leases of buildings and land, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component based on the election of the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components.
At March 31, 2025, we had operating lease right-of-use assets of $109.9 million and current and noncurrent operating lease obligations of $27.9 million and $85.2 million, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2024, we had operating lease right-of-use assets of $95.4 million and current and noncurrent operating lease obligations of $29.4 million and $70.6 million, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet. These amounts do not include assets and liabilities classified as either held for sale or discontinued operations within our March 31, 2025 and 2024 consolidated balance sheets (see Note 18). During the year ended March 31, 2024, we recorded an impairment of $2.4 million for certain leases in our Water Solutions segment due to underutilization of certain freshwater wells.

Lessor Accounting and Subleases
Our lessor arrangements include storage and railcar contracts, of which certain agreements contain renewal options for periods of betweenone year andfive years. We determine if an agreement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If an arrangement is determined to contain a lease, we classify the lease as operating, sales-type or direct financing. Lessor accounting under ASC 842 is substantially unchanged and all of our leases will continue to be classified as operating leases. We also, from time to time, sublease certain of our storage capacity and railcars to third-parties. Fixed rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. During the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, fixed rental revenue was $15.0 million, $17.8 million and $13.9 million, which includes $3.4 million, $6.2 million and $3.8 million of sublease revenue, respectively.

Note 16—Allowance for Current Expected Credit Losses
ASU 2016-13 requires that an allowance for expected credit losses be recognized for certain financial assets that reflects the current expected credit loss over the financial asset’s contractual life. The valuation allowance considers the risk of loss, even if remote, and considers past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
We are exposed to credit losses primarily through the sale of products and services and notes receivable from third-parties. A counterparty’s ability to pay is assessed through a credit process that considers the payment terms, the counterparty’s established credit rating or our assessment of the counterparty’s credit worthiness and other risks. We can require prepayment or collateral to mitigate credit risks.
We group our financial assets into pools of counterparties with similar risk characteristics for the purpose of determining the allowance for expected credit losses. Each reporting period, we assess whether a significant change in the risk of expected credit loss has occurred. Among the quantitative and qualitative factors considered in calculating our allowance for expected credit losses are historical financial data, including write-offs and allowances, current conditions, industry risk and current credit ratings. Financial assets will be written off in whole, or in part, when practical recovery efforts have been exhausted and no reasonable expectation of recovery exists. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded as an increase to the allowance for expected credit losses. We manage receivable pools using past due balances as a key credit quality indicator.
The following table summarizes changesin our allowance for expected credit losses for the periods indicated:
| Accounts Receivable | Notes Receivable and Other | |
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | ||
| Allowance for expected credit losses at March 31, 2022 | $2,372 | $458 |

Note 17—Other Matters
Dispute Settlement

At March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of our unsecured claim was $0.6 million, net of an allowance for an expected credit loss, which was recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we received $1.0 million to settle our unsecured claim and we reversed the allowance for the expected credit loss.

The following tables summarize our unaudited quarterly financial data. The computation of net income (loss) per common unit is done separately by quarter and year. The total of net income (loss) per common unit of the individual quarters may not equal net income (loss) per common unit for the year, due primarily to the income allocation between the general partner and limited partners and variations in the weighted average units outstanding used in computing such amounts.
Our Liquids segment is subject to seasonal fluctuations, as demand for propane and butane is typically higher during the winter months. Our operating revenues from our other segments are less weather sensitive.
