Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements	Phillips 66 Partners LP

Note 1—Business and Basis of Presentation

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, all references to “Phillips 66 Partners,” “the Partnership,” “us,” “our,” “we,” or similar expressions refer to Phillips 66 Partners LP, including its consolidated subsidiaries. References to Phillips 66 may refer to Phillips 66 and/or its subsidiaries, depending on the context. References to our “General Partner” refer to Phillips 66 Partners GP LLC, and references to Phillips 66 PDI refer to Phillips 66 Project Development Inc., the Phillips 66 subsidiary that holds a limited partner interest in us.

Description of the Business

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

Our assets consist of crude oil, refined petroleum products and NGL transportation, terminaling and storage systems, as well as an NGL fractionator. We conduct our operations through both wholly owned and joint-venture operations. The majority of our wholly owned assets are associated with, and integral to the operation of, nine of Phillips 66’s owned or joint-venture refineries.

We primarily generate revenue by providing fee-based transportation, terminaling, storage and NGL fractionation services to Phillips 66 and other customers. Our equity affiliates primarily generate revenue from transporting and terminaling NGL, refined petroleum products and crude oil. Since we do not own any of the NGL, crude oil and refined petroleum products we handle and do not engage in the trading of NGL, crude oil and refined petroleum products, we have limited direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices, although these risks indirectly influence our activities and results of operations over the long term.

Basis of Presentation

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

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

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

Note 2—Interim Financial Information

The interim financial information presented in the financial statements included in this report is unaudited and includes all known accruals and adjustments necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Unless otherwise specified, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this report. Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 3—Changes in Accounting Principles

Effective January 1, 2017, we early adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates the second step from the goodwill impairment test. Under the revised test, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This ASU is applied prospectively to goodwill impairment tests performed on or after January 1, 2017.

Effective January 1, 2017, we early adopted ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” The new update changes the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The amendment requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Adoption of this ASU on a retrospective basis did not impact our financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2017, we early adopted ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The new update clarifies the treatment of several cash flow categories. In addition, the new update clarifies that when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated, classification will depend on the predominant source or use. Adoption of this ASU on a retrospective basis did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 4—Acquisitions

River Parish Acquisition

In November 2016, we acquired the River Parish NGL System, a third party’s NGL logistics assets located in southeast Louisiana, consisting of pipelines and storage caverns connecting multiple fractionation facilities, refineries and a petrochemical facility. At the acquisition date, we recorded $183 million of PP&E and $3 million of goodwill. Our acquisition accounting was finalized during the first quarter of 2017, with no change to the provisional amounts recorded in 2016.

During 2016, we completed three acquisitions that were considered transfers of businesses between entities under common control, and therefore the related acquired assets were transferred at historical carrying value. Because these acquisitions were common control transactions in which we acquired businesses, our historical financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted as if we owned the acquired assets for all periods presented.

Fractionator Acquisitions

Initial Fractionator Acquisition. In February 2016, we entered into a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement (CCAA) with subsidiaries of Phillips 66 to acquire a 25 percent controlling interest in Phillips 66 Sweeny Frac LLC (Sweeny Frac LLC) for total consideration of $236 million (the Initial Fractionator Acquisition). Total consideration consisted of the assumption of a $212 million note payable to a subsidiary of Phillips 66 and the issuance

Table of Contents

of 412,823 common units to Phillips 66 PDI and 8,425 general partner units to our General Partner to maintain its 2 percent general partner interest. The Initial Fractionator Acquisition closed in March 2016.

Subsequent Fractionator Acquisition. In May 2016, we entered into a CCAA with subsidiaries of Phillips 66 to acquire the remaining 75 percent interest in Sweeny Frac LLC and 100 percent of the Standish Pipeline for total consideration of $775 million (the Subsequent Fractionator Acquisition). Total consideration consisted of the assumption of $675 million of notes payable to a subsidiary of Phillips 66 and the issuance of 1,400,922 common units to Phillips 66 PDI and 286,753 general partner units to our General Partner to maintain its 2 percent general partner interest in us after also taking into account the public offering we completed in May 2016. The Subsequent Fractionator Acquisition closed in May 2016.

Eagle Acquisition

In October 2016, we entered into a CCAA with subsidiaries of Phillips 66 to acquire certain pipeline and terminal assets supporting four Phillips 66-operated refineries (the Eagle Acquisition). We paid Phillips 66 total consideration of $1,305 million, consisting of $1,109 million in cash and the issuance of 3,884,237 common units to Phillips 66 PDI and 208,783 general partner units to our General Partner to maintain its 2 percent general partner interest. The Eagle Acquisition closed in October 2016.

The following tables present our previously reported results of operations and cash flows giving effect to the Eagle Acquisition. The results of operations and cash flows of the Initial Fractionator Acquisition and Subsequent Fractionator Acquisition are included in our previously reported consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of cash flows for the periods presented, within the first column. The second column in all tables presents the retrospective adjustments made to our historical financial information for the related acquired assets prior to the effective date of acquisition. The third column in all tables presents our consolidated financial information as retrospectively adjusted.

Note 8—Equity

ATM Program

In June 2016, we filed a prospectus supplement to the shelf registration statement for our continuous offering program that became effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission in May 2016, related to the continuous issuance of up to an aggregate of $250 million of common units, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions and other factors at the time of our offerings (such continuous offering program, or at-the-market program, referred to as our ATM Program). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, on a settlement date basis, we issued 2,578,608 and 3,323,576 common units under the ATM Program, which generated net proceeds of $131 million and $171 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, on a settlement date basis, we issued 262,858 common units under our ATM Program, generating net proceeds of $14 million. Since inception through June 30, 2017, we have issued an aggregate of 3,669,728 common units under our ATM Program, generating net proceeds of $190 million, after broker commissions of $2 million. The net proceeds from sales under the ATM Program are used for general partnership purposes, which may include debt repayment, future acquisitions, capital expenditures and additions to working capital.

Common Unit Offering

In May 2016, we completed a public offering, consisting of an aggregate of 12,650,000 common units representing limited partner interests at a price of $52.40 per common unit. We received proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of $656 million from the offering. We utilized the net proceeds to partially repay debt assumed as part of the Subsequent Fractionator Acquisition. See Note 4—Acquisitions for additional information.

Note 9—Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit

Net income per limited partner unit is computed by dividing the limited partners’ interest in net income attributable to the Partnership by the weighted average number of common units outstanding for the period. The classes of participating securities as of June 30, 2017, included common units, general partner units and incentive distribution rights (IDRs). Basic and diluted net income per limited partner unit are the same because we do not have potentially dilutive instruments outstanding.

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

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

On July 19, 2017, the Board of Directors of our General Partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.615 per limited partner unit which, combined with distributions to our General Partner, will result in total distributions of $104 million attributable to the second quarter of 2017. This distribution is payable August 11, 2017, to unitholders of record as of July 31, 2017.

Note 10—Contingencies

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

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

Table of Contents

of other potentially responsible parties. Estimated future costs related to tax and legal matters are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation processes.

Environmental

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

At both June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, our total environmental accrual was $2 million. In the future, we may be involved in additional environmental assessments, cleanups and proceedings.

Legal Proceedings

Under our amended omnibus agreement, Phillips 66 provides certain services for our benefit, including legal support services, and we pay an operational and administrative support fee for these services. Phillips 66’s legal organization applies its knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. The process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables tracking of those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, Phillips 66’s legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and recommends if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we did not have any material accrued contingent liabilities associated with litigation matters.

Indemnification and Excluded Liabilities

Under our amended omnibus agreement and pursuant to the terms of various agreements under which we acquired assets from Phillips 66, Phillips 66 will indemnify us, or assume responsibility, for certain environmental liabilities, tax liabilities, litigation and any other liabilities attributable to the ownership or operation of the assets contributed to us and that arose prior to the effective date of each acquisition. These indemnifications and exclusions from liability have, in some cases, time limits and deductibles. When Phillips 66 performs under any of these indemnifications or exclusions from liability, we recognize a non-cash expense and an associated non-cash capital contribution from our General Partner, as these are considered liabilities paid for by a principal unitholder.

We have assumed, and have agreed to pay, discharge and perform as and when due, all liabilities arising out of or attributable to the ownership or operation of the assets, or other activities occurring in connection with and attributable to the ownership or operation of the assets, from and after the effective date of each acquisition.

Note 11—Cash Flow Information

2016 Subsequent Fractionator Acquisition

The Subsequent Fractionator Acquisition had both cash and noncash elements. The historical book value of the net assets acquired was $871 million. Of this amount, $656 million was a financing cash outflow, representing the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in Sweeny Frac LLC, through the repayment of a portion of the debt assumed in the transaction. The remaining debt financing balance of $19 million represented a noncash investing and financing activity. The remaining $196 million of book value was attributed to the common and general partner units issued (a noncash investing and financing activity).

Table of Contents

2016 Initial Fractionator Acquisition

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

Note 12—Related Party Transactions

Commercial Agreements

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

Table of Contents

Amended Operational Services Agreement

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

Amended Omnibus Agreement

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

Tax Sharing Agreement

We have entered into a tax sharing agreement with Phillips 66 pursuant to which we will reimburse Phillips 66 for our share of state and local income and other taxes incurred by Phillips 66 due to our results of operations being included in a combined or consolidated tax return filed by Phillips 66. The amount of any such reimbursement will be limited to the tax that we (and our subsidiaries) would have paid had we not been included in a combined group with Phillips 66. Phillips 66 may use its tax attributes to cause its combined or consolidated group to owe no tax. We would nevertheless reimburse Phillips 66 for the tax we would have owed, even though Phillips 66 had no cash expense for that period.

Related Party Transactions

Significant related party transactions included in operating and maintenance expenses, general and administrative expenses and interest and debt expense were:

We pay Phillips 66 a monthly operational and administrative support fee under the terms of our amended omnibus agreement in the amount of $7 million. The operational and administrative support fee is for the provision of certain services, including: executive services; financial and administrative services (including treasury and accounting); information technology; legal services; corporate health, safety and environmental services; facility services; human resources services; procurement services; corporate engineering services, including asset integrity and regulatory services; logistical services; asset oversight, such as operational management and supervision; business development services; investor relations; tax matters; and public company reporting services. We also reimburse Phillips 66 for all other direct or allocated costs incurred on behalf of us, pursuant to the terms of our amended omnibus agreement. The classification of these charges between operating and maintenance expenses and general and administrative expenses is based on the functional nature of the services performed for our operations. Under our amended operational services agreement, we reimburse Phillips 66 for the provision of certain operational services to us in support of our pipelines, rail racks, fractionator, and terminaling and storage facilities. Additionally, we pay Phillips 66 for insurance services provided to us. Operating and maintenance expenses also include volumetric gain/loss associated with volumes transported by Phillips 66.

Note 13—New Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The amendment provides a screen for determining when a transaction involves an acquisition of a business. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, then the transaction is not considered an acquisition of a business. If the screen is not met, then the amendment requires that, to be considered a business, the operation must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. The guidance may reduce the number of transactions accounted for as business acquisitions. Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU No. 2017-01 to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied prospectively, and no disclosures are required at the effective date. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2017-01.

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

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

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This ASU and other related updates issued are intended to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets and expand disclosure requirements. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.” The amendment in this ASU defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities for one year. Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. As part of our assessment work-to-date, we have formed an implementation team, completed training on the new ASU’s revenue recognition model and are continuing our contract review and documentation. Our expectation is to adopt the standard on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective application. Our evaluation of the new ASU is ongoing, which

Table of Contents

includes understanding the impact of adoption on earnings from equity method investments and revenue generated by lease arrangements. Based on our analysis to-date, we have not identified any material impact on our financial statements, other than disclosure.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Partnership Overview

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

Basis of Presentation

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

Table of Contents

How We Evaluate Our Operations

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

Volumes Handled

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

Operating and Maintenance Expenses

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

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

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow

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

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


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


•	Transaction costs associated with acquisitions; and


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

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

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


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


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

Table of Contents


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


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

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

Business Environment

Since we do not own any of the NGL, crude oil and refined petroleum products we handle and do not engage in the trading of NGL, crude oil and refined petroleum products, we have limited direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices, although these risks indirectly influence our activities and results of operations over the long term.

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

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

Minimum Volume Commitments

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

Detail on these transportation- and terminal-based deferred revenues follows:

Statement of Income Analysis

Operating revenues increased $8 million, or 4 percent, and $23 million, or 6 percent, in the second quarter and the six-month period of 2017, respectively. The increases were primarily attributable to additional revenues from the River Parish NGL System acquired in November 2016 and from additional storage capacity coming online at Clemens Caverns. The increases were partially offset by lower throughput volumes on the Gold Line Products System due to maintenance at Phillips 66’s Borger refinery and lower throughput volumes on the Billings and Clifton Ridge systems as a result of turnaround activity at Phillips 66’s Billings and Lake Charles refineries.

Equity in earnings of affiliates increased $7 million, or 23 percent, and $15 million, or 27 percent, in the second quarter and the six-month period of 2017, respectively. The increases were primarily attributable to higher earnings from DCP Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC (Sand Hills) and Explorer Pipeline Company (Explorer), primarily due to higher volumes. In addition, the increases also reflected earnings from Bayou Bridge Pipeline, LLC (Bayou Bridge), which began operations in April 2016, and STACK Pipeline LLC (STACK), which was acquired in August 2016.

Operating and maintenance expenses increased by $11 million, or 10 percent, in the six-month period of 2017. The increase was primarily due to operating expenses associated with the River Parish NGL System, which was acquired in November 2016.

Depreciation increased $3 million and $6 million in the second quarter and the six-month period of 2017, respectively. The increases were mainly attributable to the River Parish NGL System acquired in November 2016 and additional storage capacity coming online at Clemens Caverns.

Taxes other than income taxes decreased $3 million, or 30 percent, and $4 million, or 20 percent, in the second quarter and the six-month period of 2017, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in property taxes.

Interest and debt expense increased $13 million and $27 million in the second quarter and the six-month period of 2017, respectively, due to higher average debt principal balances as a result of the issuance of $1,125 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes in October 2016.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Significant Sources of Capital

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

Operating Activities

We generated $270 million in cash from operations during the first six months of 2017, an improvement over cash from operations of $243 million for the corresponding period of 2016. The improvement was mainly driven by working capital impacts.

Common Units

In May 2016, we completed a public offering, consisting of an aggregate of 12,650,000 common units representing limited partner interests, at a price of $52.40 per common unit. We received proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of $656 million from the offering (2016 Unit Offering). We utilized the net proceeds to partially repay debt assumed as part of the Subsequent Fractionator Acquisition. See Note 4—Acquisitions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

ATM Program

In June 2016, we filed a prospectus supplement to the shelf registration statement for our continuous offering program that became effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in May 2016, related to the continuous issuance of up to an aggregate of $250 million of common units, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions and other factors at the time of our offerings (such continuous offering program, or at-the-market program, referred to as our ATM Program). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, on a settlement date basis, we issued 2,578,608 and 3,323,576 common units under the ATM Program, which generated net proceeds of $131 million and $171 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, on a settlement date basis, we issued 262,858 common units under our ATM Program, generating net proceeds of $14 million. Since inception through June 30, 2017, we have issued an aggregate of 3,669,728 common units under our ATM Program, generating net proceeds of $190 million, after broker commissions of $2 million. The net proceeds from sales under the ATM Program are used for general partnership purposes, which may include debt repayment, future acquisitions, capital expenditures and additions to working capital.

Issuance of common units under the ATM Program can reduce our General Partner’s interest to under 2 percent. We expect the General Partner’s interest to be periodically restored to 2 percent in connection with dropdown transactions or through direct equity contributions. However, these future contributions from our General Partner cannot be assured. At June 30, 2017, our General Partner’s interest was slightly less than 2 percent.

Revolving Credit Facility

At June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we had an aggregate of $50 million and $210 million, respectively, borrowed and outstanding under our $750 million revolving credit facility.

Note Payable

In May 2016, in connection with the Subsequent Fractionator Acquisition, we entered into three separate Assignment and Assumption of Note agreements with subsidiaries of Phillips 66, pursuant to which we assumed the obligations under three term promissory notes (the Subsequent Notes), each with a $225 million principal balance. Also in May 2016, using proceeds from the 2016 Unit Offering, we repaid two of the Subsequent Notes in their entirety and reduced the outstanding balance on the remaining Subsequent Note to $19 million, which was repaid in June 2016.

Shelf Registration

We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC under which we, as a well-known seasoned issuer, have the ability to issue and sell an indeterminate amount of common units representing limited partner interests, preferred units representing limited partner interests, and debt securities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Capital Requirements

Capital Expenditures and Investments

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

Our capital expenditures and investments for the first six months of 2017 and 2016 were:

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

Our capital expenditures and investments for the first six months of 2017 were $128 million, primarily associated with the following activities:


•	Contributions to Bayou Bridge to continue progress on its pipeline segment from Lake Charles, Louisiana, to St. James, Louisiana.


•	Contributions to STACK to extend the origination point of its pipeline system to access additional area producers and increase capacity.


•	Contributions to Sand Hills to increase capacity on its NGL pipeline system.


•	Reactivation and upgrading of various tanks at the Bayway Products System to facilitate additional storage and gasoline blending.


•	Various upgrades and replacements of assets.

Cash Distribution

On July 19, 2017, the Board of Directors of our General Partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.615 per common unit which, combined with distributions to our General Partner, will result in a total distribution of $104 million, payable on August 11, 2017, to unitholders of record as of July 31, 2017.

Cash distributions will be made to our General Partner in respect of its general partner interest and its ownership of all incentive distribution rights (IDRs), which entitle our General Partner to receive increasing percentages, up to 50 percent, of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.244375 per unit. Accordingly, based on the per-unit distribution declared on July 19, 2017, our General Partner will receive 35 percent of the second-quarter 2017 cash distributions in respect of its general partner interest and its ownership of all IDRs.

Contingencies

Regulatory Matters

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

Legal and Tax Matters

Under our amended omnibus agreement, Phillips 66 provides certain services for our benefit, including legal and tax support services, and we pay an operational and administrative support fee for these services. Phillips 66’s legal and tax organizations apply their knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases and uncertain tax positions. Phillips 66’s legal organization employs a litigation management process to manage and monitor the legal proceedings against us. The process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases and enables tracking of those cases that have been scheduled for trial and/or mediation. Based on professional judgment and experience in using these litigation management tools and available information about current developments in all our cases, Phillips 66’s legal organization regularly assesses the adequacy of current accruals and recommends if adjustment of existing accruals, or establishment of new accruals, is required. As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we did not have any material accrued contingent liabilities associated with litigation matters.

Table of Contents

Environmental

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

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

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

Paradis Pipeline Station Incident

On February 9, 2017, a fire occurred at the Paradis Pipeline Station on the River Parish NGL System. There was one Phillips 66 employee fatality and other workers injured. We continue to cooperate with regulatory agencies investigating this incident. We do not currently expect claims related to this incident, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material impact on our results of operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The amendment provides a screen for determining when a transaction involves an acquisition of a business. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, then the transaction is not considered an acquisition of a business. If the screen is not met, then the amendment requires that, to be considered a business, the operation must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. The guidance may reduce the number of transactions accounted for as business acquisitions. Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU No. 2017-01 to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied prospectively, and no disclosures are required at the effective date. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2017-01.

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

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our commodity price risk and interest rate risk at June 30, 2017, did not differ materially from that disclosed under Item 7A of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our General Partner’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of June 30, 2017, our General Partner’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of the General Partner’s management, carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Act, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Act). Based upon that evaluation, our General Partner’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of June 30, 2017.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act, in the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
