TESORO LOGISTICS LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As used in this report, the terms “Tesoro Logistics LP,” “TLLP,” the “Partnership,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Tesoro Logistics LP, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries or all of them taken as a whole. References in this report to “Tesoro” or our “Sponsor” refer collectively to Tesoro Corporation and any of its subsidiaries, other than Tesoro Logistics LP, its subsidiaries and its general partner.

Organization

TLLP is a Delaware limited partnership formed in December 2010 by Tesoro and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (“TLGP”), our general partner.

In 2013, we entered into two transactions with Tesoro and TLGP, our general partner, pursuant to which TLLP acquired from Tesoro the following:

six marketing terminals and storage facilities located in Southern California (the “Los Angeles Terminal Assets”) effective June 1, 2013; and
two marine terminals, a marine storage facility, a products terminal, a petroleum coke handling and storage facility and crude oil and refined products pipelines located in Southern California (the “Los Angeles Logistics Assets”) effective December 6, 2013.

These transactions are collectively referred to as “Acquisitions from Tesoro”.

Principles of Combination and Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The Acquisitions from Tesoro were transfers between entities under common control. As an entity under common control with Tesoro, we record the assets that we acquire from Tesoro on our balance sheet at Tesoro’s historical basis instead of fair value. Transfers of businesses between entities under common control are accounted for as if the transfer occurred at the beginning of the period, and prior periods are retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes of TLLP have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of the assets acquired in the Acquisitions from Tesoro for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 with the exception of the Los Angeles Terminal Assets since they were not operated by Tesoro prior to their acquisition by TLLP. We refer to the historical results of the Los Angeles Logistics Assets, from June 1, 2013 to December 6, 2013, as our “Predecessor.”

The accompanying financial statements and related notes include the combined results of operations and cash flows of our Predecessor at historical cost. The financial statements of our Predecessor have been prepared from the separate records maintained by Tesoro and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if our Predecessor had been operated as an unaffiliated entity. Our Predecessor did not record revenue for transactions with Tesoro in the Terminalling and Transportation segment.

The interim condensed combined consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared by management without audit according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate to present the information fairly. The accompanying interim condensed combined consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.


6

TESORO LOGISTICS LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

We prepare our condensed combined consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses reported as of and during the periods presented. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis using currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, and actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations of the Partnership, or our Predecessor, for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

We believe the carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximates fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including:

the short term duration of the instruments (none of our trade payables or trade receivables have been outstanding for greater than 90 days); and
the expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk.

The fair value of our senior notes is based on prices from recent trade activity and is categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The borrowings under our amended revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which include a variable interest rate, approximate fair value. The carrying value and fair value of our total debt were $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, as of June 30, 2014, and were both approximately $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2013.

New Accounting Standards

Revenue Recognition

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) in May 2014 which provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The requirements from the new ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The standard allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. At this time, we are evaluating the guidance to determine the method of adoption and the impact of this ASU on our financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE B - ACQUISITIONS

2014 Acquisition

On June 23, 2014, we entered into an agreement with Tesoro to acquire certain terminalling and pipeline assets owned by Tesoro and two of its subsidiaries, Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC and Tesoro Alaska Company LLC. Under the terms of the agreement, TLLP acquired three marketing terminals and a storage facility and will acquire a refined products pipeline (the “West Coast Logistics Assets”) for total consideration of $270.0 million. The operations of the West Coast Logistics Assets will be included in our Terminalling and Transportation segment.

On July 1, 2014, we closed on the purchase of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets in exchange for consideration of $241.4 million, comprised of approximately $214.4 million in cash and the issuance of equity to Tesoro with a fair value of $27.0 million. We borrowed $214.0 million on our Revolving Credit Facility on June 30, 2014, which was immediately distributed to TLGP to finance the transaction. This advance distribution to TLGP was recorded as a deposit in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014. The equity was comprised of 370,843 common units and 8,856 general partner units.

The first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets include:

a truck terminal and six storage tanks, located in Nikiski, Alaska;
a truck terminal, rail loading and unloading facility, and four storage tanks with a shell capacity of approximately 1.5 million barrels, all located at Tesoro’s refinery in Anacortes, Washington;
a truck terminal and rail loading and unloading facility, all located at Tesoro’s refinery in Martinez, California; and
certain related assets.

We entered into throughput and use agreements with Tesoro for the marketing and storage terminal facilities in connection with the closing of this transaction. The terminalling agreement includes a minimum throughput commitment and the storage agreement requires Tesoro to pay a monthly storage services fee. See Note C for additional information regarding commercial agreements and amendments to other agreements with related parties in connection with the acquisition.


7

TESORO LOGISTICS LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

TLLP expects to complete the second portion of this acquisition, upon receiving the required regulatory approval from the Regulatory Commission of Alaska, for cash consideration of $28.6 million. The remaining assets consist of all of Tesoro’s membership interests in Tesoro Alaska Pipeline Company LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tesoro, which owns a refined products pipeline connecting Tesoro’s Kenai refinery to Anchorage, Alaska.

2013 Acquisitions

Los Angeles Terminal and Los Angeles Logistics Asset Acquisitions

We completed the Acquisitions from Tesoro in 2013 and entered into commercial agreements in connection with the acquisitions under which Tesoro commits to minimum monthly throughput volumes of crude oil and refined products. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for additional information regarding the Acquisitions from Tesoro and the commercial agreements executed in connection with these acquisitions.

We have not provided disclosure of pro forma revenues and earnings as if the Acquisitions from Tesoro had occurred prior to 2013 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. BP managed and operated the Los Angeles Terminal Assets and the Los Angeles Logistics Assets as part of its refining operations, and historical U.S. GAAP financial information specific to the assets is not available. As a result, preparing pro forma information was determined to be impracticable.

Northwest Products System Acquisition

On June 19, 2013, we purchased a regulated common carrier products pipeline system running from Salt Lake City, Utah to Spokane, Washington (“Northwest Products Pipeline”) and three refined products terminals in Boise and Pocatello, Idaho and Pasco, Washington (collectively, the “Northwest Products System”) from Chevron Pipe Line Company and Northwest Terminalling Company (collectively, “Chevron”). The total purchase price was $354.8 million. During the second quarter of 2014, evaluations of the fair values related to the acquisition were completed and finalized. The purchase price allocation for the Northwest Products System acquisition is final and is based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. There were no material purchase price allocation adjustments recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Pursuant to the regulatory review process associated with the Northwest Products System acquisition, we agreed to divest our legacy refined products terminal in Boise, Idaho (“Boise Terminal”). We completed the sale of the Boise Terminal on March 18, 2014. Net proceeds from the sale of the assets were $9.7 million, which resulted in a gain of $4.7 million recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

If the Northwest Products System acquisition had occurred prior to 2013, our pro forma revenues would have been $70.2 million and $133.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Our pro forma net income would have been $14.8 million and $36.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

NOTE C - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Affiliate Agreements

The Partnership has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with Tesoro under which we provide pipeline transportation, trucking, terminal distribution, storage and petroleum-coke handling services and Tesoro commits to minimum monthly throughput volumes of crude oil and refined products. We believe the terms and conditions under these agreements are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services.

We entered into or amended the following agreements with Tesoro in 2014:

Terminalling Services Agreement - Nikiski. The Partnership entered into a ten-year master terminalling services agreement (the “Nikiski TSA”) with Tesoro at the closing of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition on July 1, 2014. Tesoro has the option to extend the term for up to two renewal terms of five years each. Under the Nikiski TSA, Tesoro pays the Partnership fees for certain terminalling, storage and ancillary services at the Partnership’s Nikiski terminal, which was acquired as part of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition.

Terminalling Services Agreement - Anacortes. The Partnership entered into a ten-year master terminalling services agreement (the “Anacortes TSA”) with Tesoro at the closing of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition on July 1, 2014. Tesoro has the option to extend the term for up to two renewal terms of five years each. Under the Anacortes TSA, Tesoro pays the Partnership fees for certain terminalling, storage and ancillary services at the Partnership’s Anacortes terminal, which was acquired as part of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition.

Terminalling Services Agreement - Martinez. The Partnership entered into a ten-year master terminalling services agreement (the “Martinez TSA”) with Tesoro at the closing of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition on July 1, 2014. Tesoro has the option to extend the term for up to two renewal terms of five years each. Under the Martinez TSA, Tesoro pays the Partnership fees for certain terminalling, storage and ancillary services at the Partnership’s Martinez terminal, which was acquired as part of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition.

Storage Services Agreement - Anacortes. The Partnership entered into a ten-year storage services agreement (the “SSA”), with Tesoro with respect to crude and black oil Anacortes storage tanks, which were acquired as a part of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition on July 1, 2014. Tesoro has the option to extend the term for up to two renewal terms of five years each. Under the SSA, Tesoro pays the Partnership fees for storage and handling services for crude oil, refinery feedstocks and refined products at the Anacortes terminal.

Anacortes Truck Rack Construction Agreement. The Partnership entered into a construction service agreement (the “Construction Agreement”) with Tesoro on July 28, 2014. Under the Construction Agreement, effective July 1, 2014, the Partnership will pay Tesoro a fixed fee of $23.0 million for the construction of a new refined products distribution truck rack at the site of Partnership’s Anacortes terminal, which was acquired as part of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition.

Third Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement. The Partnership entered into an omnibus agreement with Tesoro at the closing of our initial public offering (the “Initial Offering”). The agreement has been amended for each of the Acquisitions from Tesoro, and was most recently amended on July 1, 2014 in connection with the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition (the “Amended Omnibus Agreement”). In addition, the schedules to the Amended Omnibus Agreement were amended and restated, effective July 1, 2014, increasing the annual administrative fee payable by the Partnership to Tesoro under the Amended Omnibus Agreement from $5.5 million as of December 31, 2013 to $5.7 million as of July 1, 2014 for the provision of certain insurance coverage and various general and administrative services, including executive management, legal, accounting, treasury, human resources, health, safety and environmental, information technology, administration and other corporate services. In addition, the Partnership reimburses Tesoro for all other direct or allocated costs and expenses incurred by Tesoro or its affiliates on its behalf.

Under the Amended Omnibus Agreement, Tesoro indemnifies us for certain matters, including environmental, title and tax matters associated with the ownership of our assets acquired from Tesoro, with the exception of the Los Angeles Terminal Assets acquisition and Los Angeles Logistics Assets acquisition, which are covered by the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement (“Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement”). With respect to certain assets that we acquired from Tesoro, indemnification for unknown environmental and title liabilities is limited to pre-closing conditions identified prior to the earlier of the date that Tesoro no longer controls our general partner or five years after the date of closing. Under the Amended Omnibus Agreement, the aggregate annual deductible for each type of liability (unknown environmental liabilities or title matters) is $0.6 million, as of July 1, 2014.

Secondment and Logistics Services Agreement. In connection with the acquisition of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets on July 1, 2014, we terminated our Operational Services Agreement and entered into the Secondment and Logistics Services Agreement (the “Secondment Agreement”). Under the Secondment Agreement, employees of Tesoro are seconded to our general partner to provide operational and maintenance services for certain of our pipelines and terminals, and we reimburse our general partner for these costs. During their period of secondment, the seconded employees are under the management and supervision of our general partner. Conversely, employees of TLGP may be seconded to Tesoro to provide operational and maintenance services related to certain assets, for which Tesoro will reimburse our General Partner for the associated costs.

Operating and maintenance expenses include imbalance settlement gains of $2.7 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $5.1 million and $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In accordance with our partnership agreement, our common and general partner interests are entitled to receive quarterly distributions of available cash. In February and May 2014, we paid quarterly cash distributions, of which $34.4 million was paid to Tesoro and TLGP, including incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”). On July 24, 2014, we declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.615 per unit, which will be paid on August 14, 2014. The distribution will include payment of $20.3 million to Tesoro and TLGP, including IDRs.

NOTE D - NET INCOME PER UNIT

We use the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners, because we have more than one participating security. At June 30, 2014, our participating securities consist of common units, general partner units and IDRs. Net income earned by the Partnership is allocated between the limited (both common and subordinated) and general partners in accordance with our partnership agreement. We base our calculation of net income per unit on the weighted average number of common and subordinated limited partner units outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income per unit includes the effects of potentially dilutive units on our common units, which consist of unvested service and performance phantom units. Basic and diluted net income per unit applicable to subordinated limited partners are the same, as there are no potentially dilutive subordinated units outstanding. Distributions less than or greater than earnings are allocated in accordance with our partnership agreement.

Following payment of the cash distribution for the first quarter of 2014 and the attainment of necessary approvals, the requirements for the conversion of all subordinated units were satisfied under the partnership agreement. As a result, effective May 16, 2014, the 15,254,890 subordinated units were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis and thereafter participate on terms equal with all other common units in distributions of available cash. The Partnership’s net income was allocated to the general partner and the limited partners, including the holders of the subordinated units through May 15, 2014, in accordance with our partnership agreement. The conversion did not impact the amount of the cash distribution paid or the total number of the Partnership’s outstanding units representing limited partner interests.

(a)
General partner’s distributions (including IDRs) consist of an approximate 2% general partner interest and IDRs, which entitle the general partner to receive increasing percentages, up to 50%, of quarterly distributions in excess of $0.388125 per unit per quarter. See Note K of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for further discussion related to IDRs.

On May 16, 2014, the 15,254,890 subordinated units were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis and thereafter participate on terms equal with all other common units in distributions of available cash.

(c)
We base our calculation of net income per unit on the weighted-average number of common and subordinated limited partner units outstanding during the period. Therefore, as a result of the public offering of common units in January 2013, and the conversion of the subordinated units to common units in May 2014, net income per common and subordinated limited partner units may not agree for the periods presented.

Our Revolving Credit Facility is non-recourse to Tesoro, except for TLGP, and is guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our assets. We had $227.6 million of borrowings and $0.3 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in a total unused loan availability of $347.1 million as of June 30, 2014. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility was 2.78% as of June 30, 2014. The Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2017.

As of June 30, 2014, the Revolving Credit Facility was subject to the following expenses and fees:

The applicable margin varies based upon a certain leverage ratio, as defined by the Revolving Credit Facility. We also incur commitment fees for the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate. Letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility incur fees at the Eurodollar margin rate.

Exchange Offer

The Partnership entered into a registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) in connection with the December 2013 private offering of $250.0 million of Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Unregistered Notes”). On July 25, 2014, the Partnership completed an offer to exchange the Unregistered Notes for notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Exchange Notes”). The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects (including principal amount, interest rate, maturity and redemption rights) to the Unregistered Notes for which they were exchanged, except that the Exchange Notes generally are not subject to transfer restrictions. The exchange offer fulfills all of the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement for the Unregistered Notes.

Subsidiary Guarantors

The parent company of the Partnership has no independent assets or operations. The Partnership’s operations are conducted by its wholly-owned guarantor subsidiaries, other than Tesoro Logistics Finance Corp., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership whose sole purpose is to act as co-issuer of any debt securities. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, subject to certain automatic customary releases, including sale, disposition, or transfer of the capital stock or substantially all of the assets of a subsidiary guarantor, exercise of legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option, and designation of a subsidiary guarantor as unrestricted in accordance with the applicable indenture. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Partnership or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of the Partnership or a guarantor represent restricted net assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

NOTE H - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Indemnification

Under the Amended Omnibus Agreement, Tesoro indemnifies us for certain matters, including environmental, title and tax matters associated with the ownership of our assets at or before the closing of the Initial Offering and subsequent acquisitions from Tesoro, excluding the Los Angeles Terminal Assets and the Los Angeles Logistics Assets. Under the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement, Tesoro retained responsibility for remediation of known environmental liabilities due to the use or operation of the Los Angeles Terminal Assets and the Los Angeles Logistics Assets prior to the acquisition dates, and has indemnified the Partnership for any losses incurred by the Partnership arising out of those remediation obligations. See Note J of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for additional information regarding the terms and conditions of the Amended Omnibus Agreement and the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement.

Environmental Liabilities

We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control. These laws and regulations require us to remove or remedy the effect of the disposal or release of specified substances at current and former operating sites. We have accrued liabilities for these expenses and believe these accruals are adequate based on current information and projections that can be reasonably estimated. Our environmental accruals are based on estimates including engineering assessments, and it is possible that our projections will change and that additional costs will be recorded as more information becomes available. Our accruals for these environmental expenditures totaled $23.0 million and $24.4 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Tioga, North Dakota Crude Oil Pipeline Release

In September 2013, the Partnership responded to the release of approximately 20,000 barrels of crude oil in a rural field northeast of Tioga, North Dakota (the “Crude Oil Pipeline Release”). The environmental liabilities related to the Crude Oil Pipeline Release include amounts estimated for remediation activities that will be conducted during the next few years to restore the site for agricultural use. We accrued an additional $5.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 to reflect improved scope definition and estimates which resulted in an increase in the total estimated cost associated with the project. Probable insurance recoveries related to the Crude Oil Pipeline Release of $17.2 million and $14.0 million were included in other receivables at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, pursuant to a pollution liability insurance policy, which is subject to a $1.0 million deductible and a $25.0 million loss limit. Through June 30, 2014, we have received insurance proceeds of $2.4 million in reimbursement of costs incurred.

Costs to comply with a safety order related to the Crude Oil Pipeline Release issued by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation (“PHMSA”) are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Chevron Diesel Pipeline Release

On March 18, 2013, Chevron detected and responded to the release of diesel fuel (the “Diesel Pipeline Release”) that occurred near Willard, Utah on the Northwest Products System. As a result of this release, a Corrective Action Order (the “CAO”) was issued on March 22, 2013 by PHMSA. In addition, on April 11, 2013, the Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Quality, of the state of Utah issued a notice of violation and compliance order. In accordance with the sale and purchase agreements related to the Northwest Products System acquisition, as amended, Chevron retains financial and operational responsibility to remediate the site of the Diesel Pipeline Release through mid-2015, in addition to paying any monetary fines and penalties assessed by any government authority arising from this incident.

The Partnership assumed responsibility for performing additional testing and associated pipeline repairs on the pipeline pursuant to the CAO upon closing the Northwest Products System acquisition. In connection with the Northwest Products System acquisition, our condensed consolidated balance sheet included $2.9 million and $8.0 million in accrued environmental liabilities related to the CAO at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and $4.9 million and $4.7 million in accruals unrelated to the Diesel Pipeline Release included in other noncurrent liabilities at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we may become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but TLLP will accrue liabilities for these matters if the amount is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Other than described above, we did not have any material lawsuits, administrative proceedings or governmental investigations.

NOTE I - EQUITY

We had 35,350,338 common public units outstanding as of June 30, 2014. Additionally, Tesoro owned 19,110,714 of our common units and 1,110,282 of our general partner units (the 2% general partner interest) as of June 30, 2014, which together constitutes a 36% ownership interest in us.

Following payment of the cash distribution for the first quarter of 2014 and the attainment of necessary approvals, the requirements for the conversion of all subordinated units were satisfied under the partnership agreement. As a result, effective May 16, 2014, 15,254,890 subordinated units were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis and thereafter participate on terms equal with all other common units in distributions of available cash. The conversion of the subordinated units did not impact the amount of cash distributions paid by the Partnership or the total number of its outstanding units.

On June 25, 2014, we filed a prospectus supplement to our shelf registration statement filed with the SEC in 2012, authorizing the continuous issuance of up to an aggregate of $200.0 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”). During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we issued an aggregate of 5,500 common units under our ATM Program, generating proceeds of approximately $0.4 million, net of offering costs. The net proceeds from these sales will be used for general partnership purposes. We paid fees of $7,903 related to the issuance of units under the ATM Program for the three months ended June 30, 2014. We issued an additional 193,900 common units under this program for net proceeds of $13.6 million (net of offering costs of $0.3 million) that settled in July 2014.

Allocations of Net Income

Our partnership agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income and loss to the unitholders and the general partner. For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, the partnership agreement specifies that items of income and loss will be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interest. Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect, if any, to priority income allocations in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions fully allocated to the general partner.

NOTE L - SEGMENT DISCLOSURES

Our revenues are derived from two operating segments: Crude Oil Gathering and Terminalling and Transportation. Our Crude Oil Gathering segment consists of a crude oil gathering system in the Bakken Shale/Williston Basin area of North Dakota and Montana. Our Terminalling and Transportation segment consists of:

the Northwest Products Pipeline, which includes a regulated common carrier products pipeline running from Salt Lake City, Utah to Spokane, Washington and a jet fuel pipeline to the Salt Lake City International Airport;
19 crude oil and refined products terminals and storage facilities in the western and midwestern U.S.;
four marine terminals in California;
a rail-car unloading facility in Washington;
a petroleum coke handling and storage facility in Los Angeles; and
other pipelines which transport products and crude oil from Tesoro’s refineries to nearby facilities in Salt Lake City and Los Angeles.
 
Our revenues are generated from existing third-party contracts and from commercial agreements we have entered into with Tesoro under which Tesoro pays us fees for gathering crude oil and distributing, transporting and storing crude oil and refined products. We do not have any foreign operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to “Tesoro Logistics LP,” “TLLP,” “the Partnership,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Tesoro Logistics LP, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries or all of them taken as a whole. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to “Tesoro” or our “Sponsor” refer collectively to Tesoro Corporation and any of its subsidiaries, other than Tesoro Logistics LP, its subsidiaries and its general partner.

As part of our strategy to make capital investments to expand our existing asset base, we entered into two transactions with Tesoro and Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (“TLGP”), our general partner, pursuant to which TLLP acquired the following from Tesoro in 2013:

six marketing terminals and storage facilities located in Southern California (the “Los Angeles Terminal Assets”) effective June 1, 2013; and
two marine terminals, a marine storage facility, a products terminal, a petroleum coke handling and storage facility and crude oil and refined products pipelines located in Southern California (the “Los Angeles Logistics Assets”) effective December 6, 2013.

These transactions are collectively referred to as “Acquisitions from Tesoro” and were transfers between entities under common control. Accordingly, the financial information of TLLP contained herein has been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of the assets acquired in the Acquisitions from Tesoro for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 with the exception of the Los Angeles Terminal Assets since they were not operated by Tesoro prior to their acquisition by TLLP. We refer to the historical results of the Los Angeles Logistics Assets, prior to December 6, 2013, as our “Predecessor.” Our financial results may not be comparable as our Predecessor recorded revenues, general and administrative expenses and financed operations differently than the Partnership. See “Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Results” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

On June 19, 2013, we purchased a regulated common carrier products pipeline system running from Salt Lake City, Utah to Spokane, Washington (“Northwest Products Pipeline”) and three refined products terminals in Boise and Pocatello, Idaho and Pasco, Washington (collectively, the “Northwest Products System”) from Chevron Pipe Line Company and Northwest Terminalling Company (collectively, “Chevron”).

The Acquisitions from Tesoro and the acquisition of the Northwest Products System are collectively referred to as the “2013 Acquisitions.”

Those statements in this section that are not historical in nature should be deemed forward-looking statements that are inherently uncertain. See “Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 37 for a discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements.

This section should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS STRATEGY

We are a fee-based, growth-oriented Delaware limited partnership formed by Tesoro to own, operate, develop and acquire logistics assets. Our logistics assets are integral to the success of Tesoro’s refining and marketing operations and are used to gather crude oil and to distribute, transport and store crude oil and refined products. Our assets and operations are categorized into a Crude Oil Gathering segment and a Terminalling and Transportation segment.

Our financial information includes the historical results of our Predecessor (for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013) and the results of TLLP (for all periods presented). The financial statements of our Predecessor have been prepared from the separate records maintained by Tesoro and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if our Predecessor had been operated as an unaffiliated entity. Most notably, this applies to the revenue associated with the terms of the commercial agreements as our Predecessor did not record revenues for transactions with Tesoro in the Terminalling and Transportation segment for assets acquired in the Los Angeles Logistics Assets acquisition.


19


We generate revenue by charging fees for gathering crude oil and for terminalling, transporting and storing crude oil and refined products. Since we do not own any of the crude oil or refined products that we handle nor engage in the trading of crude oil or refined products, we have minimal direct exposure to risks associated with commodity price fluctuations. However, these risks indirectly influence our activities and results of operations over the long term through their effects on our customers’ operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, 88% of our total revenues were derived from Tesoro under various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements that generally include minimum volume commitments.

Strategy and Objectives

Our primary business objectives are to maintain stable cash flows and to increase our quarterly cash distribution per unit over time. We intend to accomplish these objectives by executing the following strategies:
 
focus on opportunities to provide committed fee-based logistics services to Tesoro and third parties;
evaluate investment opportunities that may arise from the growth of Tesoro’s refining and marketing business or from increased third-party activity to make capital investments to expand our existing asset base;
pursue accretive acquisitions of complementary assets from Tesoro as well as third parties; and
seek to enhance the profitability of our existing assets by pursuing opportunities to add Tesoro and third-party volumes, improve operating efficiencies and increase utilization.

We have been implementing our strategy and goals discussed above, allowing us to steadily increase our cash flow available to be distributed to unitholders (“Distributable Cash Flow”) and increase our distributions by 21% over the last year.

Relative to these goals, in 2014, we intend to continue to implement this strategy and have announced plans to:

expand our assets on our crude oil gathering system (the “High Plains System”) in support of growing third-party demand for transportation services and Tesoro’s increased demand for Bakken crude oil in the mid-continent and west coast refining systems, including:
expanding utilization of our proprietary truck fleet, which should generate cost and operating efficiencies;
expanding capacity on the recently reversed segment of our High Plains pipeline; and
adding other origin and destination points on the High Plains System to increase volumes.
increase our terminalling volumes by expanding capacity and growing our third-party services at certain of our terminals;
optimize Tesoro volumes and grow third-party volumes at our recently acquired Los Angeles Terminal and Logistics Assets; and
complete the construction of a waxy crude oil unloading facility in Salt Lake City.
 
In April 2014, we successfully concluded our first open season for the High Plains pipeline expansion. We received commitments for nearly all of the offered capacity of 70,000 barrels per day (“bpd”) to move crude oil from various locations south of Lake Sakakawea to Ramberg Station in North Dakota. We are progressing through the open season regulatory process and expect to commence shipments during the third quarter of 2014 in conjunction with the completion of the High Plains pipeline reversal project. Committed shippers have received notification and the petition for declaratory order from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) has been filed.

In May 2014, we successfully concluded our second open season after receiving sufficient commitments from third party shippers to warrant construction of a pipeline gathering system (“Connolly Gathering System”), formerly referred to as the “Dunn County Gathering System”, by our wholly-owned subsidiary Tesoro High Plains Pipeline Company LLC (“THPP”). The Connolly Gathering System will gather crude oil from various points in Dunn County, North Dakota for delivery to a central delivery point at the existing Connolly Station, on THPP’s pipeline system. Construction began in July 2014 with targeted completion by the end of 2015. The capacity of the gathering system’s main delivery line will be approximately 60,000 bpd to accommodate estimated peak production of crude oil from the area; the capacity of each individual lateral will correspond to commitments received from third party shippers in each geographical area. Committed shippers have received notification and the petition for declaratory order from the FERC has been filed.

On June 23, 2014, we entered into an agreement with Tesoro to acquire certain terminalling and pipeline assets owned by Tesoro and two of its subsidiaries, Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC and Tesoro Alaska Company LLC. Under the terms of the agreement, TLLP acquired three marketing terminals and a storage facility and will acquire a refined products pipeline (the “West Coast Logistics Assets”) for total consideration of $270.0 million. The operations of the West Coast Logistics Assets will be included in our Terminalling and Transportation segment. The assets will be acquired in two stages.


20


On July 1, 2014, we closed on the purchase of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets in exchange for consideration of $241.4 million, comprised of approximately $214.4 million in cash and the issuance of equity to Tesoro with a fair value of $27.0 million. We borrowed $214.0 million on our revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) on June 30, 2014, which was immediately distributed to TLGP to finance the transaction. This advance distribution to TLGP was recorded as a deposit in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014. The equity was comprised of 370,843 common units and 8,856 general partner units.

The first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets include:

a truck terminal and six storage tanks, located in Nikiski, Alaska;
a truck terminal, rail loading and unloading facility, and four storage tanks with a shell capacity of approximately 1.5 million barrels, all located at Tesoro’s refinery in Anacortes, Washington;
a truck terminal and rail loading and unloading facility, all located at Tesoro’s refinery in Martinez, California; and
certain related assets.

TLLP expects to complete the second portion of this acquisition in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2014, upon receiving the required regulatory approval from the Regulatory Commission of Alaska, for cash consideration of $28.6 million. The remaining assets consist of all of Tesoro’s membership interests in Tesoro Alaska Pipeline Company LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tesoro, which owns an approximately 70 mile long common carrier refined products pipeline connecting Tesoro’s Kenai refinery to Anchorage, Alaska with expected average throughput of approximately 35,000 barrels per day.
 
In addition, TLLP plans to develop a new truck rack at the site of the acquired Anacortes terminal which is expected to add an additional 6,000 to 7,000 bpd of throughput.

Agreements with Tesoro

The Partnership has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with Tesoro under which we provide pipeline transportation, trucking, terminal distribution, storage and petroleum-coke handling services and Tesoro commits to minimum monthly throughput volumes of crude oil and refined products. We believe the terms and conditions under these agreements, as well as our other agreements with Tesoro are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services.

We entered into or amended the following agreements with Tesoro in 2014:

Terminalling Services Agreement - Nikiski. The Partnership entered into a ten-year master terminalling services agreement (the “Nikiski TSA”) with Tesoro at the closing of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition on July 1, 2014. Tesoro has the option to extend the term for up to two renewal terms of five years each. Under the Nikiski TSA, Tesoro pays the Partnership fees for certain terminalling, storage and ancillary services at the Partnership’s Nikiski terminal, which was acquired as part of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition.

Terminalling Services Agreement - Anacortes. The Partnership entered into a ten-year master terminalling services agreement (the “Anacortes TSA”) with Tesoro at the closing of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition on July 1, 2014. Tesoro has the option to extend the term for up to two renewal terms of five years each. Under the Anacortes TSA, Tesoro pays the Partnership fees for certain terminalling, storage and ancillary services at the Partnership’s Anacortes terminal, which was acquired as part of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition.

Terminalling Services Agreement - Martinez. The Partnership entered into a ten-year master terminalling services agreement (the “Martinez TSA”) with Tesoro at the closing of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition on July 1, 2014. Tesoro has the option to extend the term for up to two renewal terms of five years each. Under the Martinez TSA, Tesoro pays the Partnership fees for certain terminalling, storage and ancillary services at the Partnership’s Martinez terminal, which was acquired as part of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition.

Storage Services Agreement - Anacortes. The Partnership entered into a ten-year storage services agreement (the “SSA”), with Tesoro with respect to crude and black oil Anacortes storage tanks, which were acquired as a part of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition on July 1, 2014. Tesoro has the option to extend the term for up to two renewal terms of five years each. Under the SSA, Tesoro pays the Partnership fees for storage and handling services for crude oil, refinery feedstocks and refined products at the Anacortes terminal.


21


Anacortes Truck Rack Construction Agreement. The Partnership entered into a construction service agreement (the “Construction Agreement”) with Tesoro on July 28, 2014. Under the Construction Agreement, effective July 1, 2014, the Partnership will pay Tesoro a fixed fee of $23.0 million for the construction of a new refined products distribution truck rack at the site of Partnership’s Anacortes terminal, which was acquired as part of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition.

Third Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement. The Partnership entered into an omnibus agreement with Tesoro at the closing of our initial public offering (the “Initial Offering”). The agreement has been amended for each of the Acquisitions from Tesoro, and was most recently amended on July 1, 2014 in connection with the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets acquisition (the “Amended Omnibus Agreement”). In addition, the schedules to the Amended Omnibus Agreement were amended and restated, effective July 1, 2014, increasing the annual administrative fee payable by the Partnership to Tesoro under the Amended Omnibus Agreement from $5.5 million as of December 31, 2013 to $5.7 million as of July 1, 2014 for the provision of certain insurance coverage and various general and administrative services, including executive management, legal, accounting, treasury, human resources, health, safety and environmental, information technology, administration and other corporate services. In addition, the Partnership reimburses Tesoro for all other direct or allocated costs and expenses incurred by Tesoro or its affiliates on its behalf.

Under the Amended Omnibus Agreement, Tesoro indemnifies us for certain matters, including environmental, title and tax matters associated with the ownership of our assets acquired from Tesoro, with the exception of the Los Angeles Terminal Assets acquisition and Los Angeles Logistics Assets acquisition, which are covered by the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement (“Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement”). With respect to certain assets that we acquired from Tesoro, indemnification for unknown environmental and title liabilities is limited to pre-closing conditions identified prior to the earlier of the date that Tesoro no longer controls our general partner or five years after the date of closing. Under the Amended Omnibus Agreement, the aggregate annual deductible for each type of liability (unknown environmental liabilities or title matters) is $0.6 million, as of July 1, 2014.

Secondment and Logistics Services Agreement. In connection with the acquisition of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets on July 1, 2014, we terminated our Operational Services Agreement and entered into the Secondment and Logistics Services Agreement (the “Secondment Agreement”). Under the Secondment Agreement, employees of Tesoro are seconded to our general partner to provide operational and maintenance services for certain of our pipelines and terminals, and we reimburse our general partner for these costs. During their period of secondment, the seconded employees are under the management and supervision of our general partner. Conversely, employees of TLGP may be seconded to Tesoro to provide operational and maintenance services related to certain assets, for which Tesoro will reimburse our General Partner for the associated costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our management uses a variety of financial and operating measures to analyze operating segment performance. Our management also uses additional measures that are known as “non-GAAP” financial measures in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These measures are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses (“EBITDA”) and Distributable Cash Flow.

We define EBITDA as net income before depreciation and amortization expenses, net interest and financing costs and interest income. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any loss (gain) on asset disposals and impairments and expenses incurred for the inspection and maintenance program associated with the Northwest Products System. We define Distributable Cash Flow as adjusted EBITDA less maintenance capital expenditures and net interest and financing costs, plus reimbursement by our customers for certain maintenance capital expenditures, non-cash unit-based compensation expense, proceeds from sale of assets, the change in deferred revenue and interest income. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are not measures prescribed by U.S. GAAP but are supplemental financial measures that are used by management and may be used by external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to assess:

our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods;
the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders;
our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects, and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.


22


We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA will provide useful information to investors in assessing our results of operations. The U.S. GAAP measures most directly comparable to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are net income and net cash from operating activities. The amounts included in the calculation of EBITDA are derived from amounts separately presented in our condensed combined consolidated financial statements. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. GAAP net income or net cash from operating activities. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash from operating activities.

We believe that the presentation of Distributable Cash Flow will provide useful information to investors as it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance as it provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating. The U.S. GAAP measure most directly comparable to Distributable Cash Flow is net income. The amounts included in the calculation of Distributable Cash Flow are derived from amounts separately presented in our condensed combined consolidated financial statements, with the exception of the change in deferred revenue, maintenance capital expenditures and reimbursement by our customers for certain maintenance capital expenditures.

We also include capital expenditures excluding the results of our Predecessor. We believe that the presentation of our capital expenditures excluding results of our Predecessor will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, because they may be defined differently by other companies in our industry.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to our results of operations presented below includes the combined financial results of our Predecessor for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and the consolidated financial results of TLLP for all periods presented. The financial statements, together with the following information, are intended to provide investors with a reasonable basis for assessing our historical operations, but should not serve as the only criteria for predicting our future performance.

Combined Overview

The following table and discussion is a summary of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, including a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income and net cash from operating activities and Distributable Cash Flow to net income (in thousands, except unit and per unit amounts). Our financial results may not be comparable as our Predecessor recorded revenues and general and administrative expenses, and financed operations differently than the Partnership. See “Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Results” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for further information.

Summary

Our net income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 (“2014 Quarter”) increased $19.3 million, or 142%, to $32.8 million from $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 (“2013 Quarter”). The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in revenue of $70.2 million, or 117%, to $130.3 million driven by revenue generated in the 2014 Quarter under new commercial agreements entered into in conjunction with the 2013 Acquisitions. The increase in revenue was partially offset by:

an increase in operating and maintenance expenses of $24.7 million, or 94%, primarily related to costs associated with operations of the assets acquired in the 2013 Acquisitions;
an increase in net interest and financing costs of $10.9 million related to the increase in outstanding debt in the 2014 Quarter as a result of the issuance of $800.0 million of senior notes (“Senior Notes”) used to fund the 2013 Acquisitions from Tesoro;
an increase in depreciation expense of $9.1 million, or 125% associated with the increase in depreciable assets as a result of the 2013 Acquisitions; and
an increase in general and administrative expenses of $5.6 million, or 82%, primarily related to higher allocated overhead to support the Partnership’s growing business.

Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (“2014 Period”) increased $45.1 million, or 140%, to $77.3 million from $32.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 (“2013 Period”). The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in revenue of $143.6 million, or 129%, to $255.4 million driven by revenue generated in the 2014 Period under new commercial agreements entered into in conjunction with the 2013 Acquisitions. In addition, we recognized a gain of $4.7 million related to the sale of our legacy refined products terminal in Boise, Idaho (“Boise Terminal”) during the 2014 Period. The increase in revenue and gain recognized during the 2014 Period were partially offset by:

an increase in operating and maintenance expenses of $50.3 million, or 116%, mainly related to costs associated with operations of the assets acquired in the 2013 Acquisition;
an increase in net interest and financing costs of $23.0 million related to the increase in outstanding debt in the 2014 Period as a result of the issuance of $800.0 million of Senior Notes used to fund the 2013 Acquisitions from Tesoro;
an increase in depreciation expense of $20.6 million, or 181%, primarily associated with the increase in depreciable assets as a result of the 2013 Acquisitions; and
an increase in general and administrative expenses of $8.9 million, or 69%, primarily related to higher allocated overhead to support the Partnership’s growing business.

_____________
(a)
Operating and maintenance expenses include imbalance settlement gains of $1.5 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and $2.6 million and $2.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
(b)
Management uses average revenue per barrel to evaluate performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate average revenue per barrel; other companies may calculate it in different ways. We calculate average revenue per barrel as revenue divided by the number of days in the period divided by throughput (bpd). Investors and analysts use this financial measure to help analyze and compare companies in the industry on the basis of operating performance. This financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to segment operating income, revenues and operating expenses or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Volumes. Average pipeline throughput volumes increased 28,305 bpd, or 35%, in the 2014 Quarter as a result of the expansion of our High Plains System. This includes a 7,337 bpd increase in third-party volumes during the 2014 Quarter reflecting the continued capture of incremental volume on the High Plains Pipeline in North Dakota through the addition of new capacity associated with the initial phase of the High Plains Pipeline reversal project and contributions from the initial build-out of the Bakken Area Storage Hub. Trucking throughput volumes increased 4,800 during the 2014 Quarter as compared to the 2013 Quarter, which includes a 4,031 bpd increase in volumes hauled by our proprietary fleet consistent with our strategy to expand the utilization of our proprietary fleet in order to generate cost and operating efficiencies.

Financial Results. Revenues increased $6.2 million, or 29%, to $27.1 million for the 2014 Quarter compared to $20.9 million in the 2013 Quarter. Pipeline and trucking revenues increased $4.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, compared to the 2013 Quarter primarily as a result of higher pipeline throughput and trucking volumes.

Operating and maintenance expenses increased $2.3 million, or 21%, to $13.8 million in the 2014 Quarter compared to $11.5 million in the 2013 Quarter primarily related to higher repair and maintenance costs associated with increased throughput on the High Plains System.

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 80% to $0.2 million in the 2014 Quarter compared to $0.8 million in the 2013 Quarter due to a revision to our overhead allocation methodology during the 2014 Quarter.

27


Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Volumes. Average pipeline throughput volumes increased 22,004 bpd, or 27%, in the 2014 Period primarily as a result of higher volumes to existing destinations, which includes a 6,520 bpd increase in third-party volumes. Trucking throughput volumes increased by 2,301 bpd during the 2014 Period compared to the 2013 Period. The increase in pipeline and trucking throughput reflects incremental volume on the High Plains Pipeline through the addition of new capacity associated with the initial phase of the High Plains Pipeline reversal project and contributions from the initial build-out of the Bakken Area Storage Hub during the 2014 Period.

Financial Results. Revenues increased $9.1 million, or 21%, to $51.7 million for the 2014 Period compared to $42.6 million in the 2013 Period. Pipeline and trucking revenues increased $6.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, compared to the 2013 Period primarily as a result of the increase of 22,004 bpd for pipeline throughput and 2,301 bpd for trucking volumes.

Operating and maintenance expenses increased $2.4 million, or 10%, to $24.8 million in the 2014 Period compared to $22.4 million in the 2013 Period predominantly attributable to increased costs associated with increased throughput on the High Plains System and the growth of our trucking operations including our proprietary truck fleet.

General and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million, or 24% to $1.8 million in the 2014 Period compared to $1.5 million in the 2013 Period due to increased allocated overhead to support the growth of our Crude Oil Gathering operations.

 Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Volumes. Terminalling throughput volumes increased 336,540 bpd, or 61%, in the 2014 Quarter compared to the 2013 Quarter primarily as a result of the 2013 Acquisitions. The increase in throughput related to the new terminals acquired in 2013. Pipeline transportation throughput volumes increased 687,007 bpd in the 2014 Quarter compared to the 2013 Quarter as a result of the pipeline assets acquired in the Northwest Products System acquisition and the Los Angeles Logistics Assets acquisition. The volumes reflect operations of the Northwest Products System for the entire 2014 Quarter, compared to less than a month of operations in the 2013 Quarter.

Financial Results. Revenues increased $64.0 million, or 164%, to $103.2 million in the 2014 Quarter compared to $39.2 million in the 2013 Quarter primarily as a result of the new commercial agreements that went into effect in connection with the 2013 Acquisitions, which accounted for approximately $63.0 million of the revenue increase compared to the 2013 Quarter. The results for the 2014 Quarter include a full quarter of revenues for the 2013 Acquisitions, which were acquired late in the second quarter of 2013, compared to less than a month of revenues in the 2013 Quarter.

29


Operating and maintenance expenses increased $22.4 million, or 151%, to $37.2 million in the 2014 Quarter from $14.8 million in the 2013 Quarter primarily as a result of an increase of $26.4 million associated with a full quarter of operations of the 2013 Acquisitions in the 2014 Quarter compared to the 2013 Quarter.

General and administrative expense increased $5.6 million to $7.6 million in the 2014 Quarter compared to $2.0 million in the 2013 Quarter due to increased expenses for certain allocated overhead costs associated with the 2013 Acquisitions.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $9.1 million to $15.4 million in the 2014 Quarter from $6.3 million in the 2013 Quarter. The increase is attributable to depreciation expense related to the 2013 Acquisitions. The 2013 Quarter includes depreciation expense for the Northwest Products System from the acquisition date on June 19, 2013 and the Los Angeles Terminal Assets from the acquisition date on June 1, 2013. The 2014 Quarter results include three months of depreciation for the assets acquired in 2013.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Volumes. Terminalling throughput volumes increased 411,079 bpd, or 87%, in the 2014 Period compared to the 2013 Period as a result of the 2013 Acquisitions. The increase in throughput related to the new terminals acquired in 2013. Pipeline transportation throughput volumes increased 690,693 bpd, or 785%, in the 2014 Period compared to the 2013 Period as a result of the pipeline assets acquired in the Northwest Products System acquisition and the Los Angeles Logistics Assets acquisition. The volumes reflect operations of the Northwest Products System for the entire 2014 Period, compared to less than a month of operations in the 2013 Period.

Financial Results. Revenues increased $134.6 million to $203.7 million in the 2014 Period compared to $69.1 million in the 2013 Period primarily as a result of the new commercial agreements that went into effect in connection with the 2013 Acquisitions, which accounted for approximately $133.3 million of the revenue increase compared to the 2013 Period. The results reflect operations of the Northwest Products System, the Los Angeles Logistics Assets and the Los Angeles Terminal Assets for the entire 2014 Period, compared to less than a month of operations of the Northwest Products System and one month of operations of the Los Angeles Terminal Assets in the 2013 Period.

Operating and maintenance expenses increased $48.1 million, or 229%, to $69.0 million in the 2014 Period from $20.9 million in the 2013 Period primarily as a result of an increase of $50.2 million associated with a full period of operations of the 2013 Acquisitions in the 2014 Period compared to the 2013 Period.

General and administrative expenses increased $9.1 million to $12.1 million in the 2014 Period compared to $3.0 million in the 2013 Period due to increased expenses for certain allocated overhead costs associated with the 2013 Acquisitions.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $20.5 million to $29.9 million in the 2014 Period compared to $9.4 million in the 2013 Period. The increase is attributable to depreciation expense related to the 2013 Acquisitions. The 2013 Period includes depreciation expense for the Northwest Products System from the acquisition date on June 19, 2013 and the Los Angeles Terminal Assets from the acquisition date on June 1, 2013. The 2014 Period results include six months of depreciation for the assets acquired in 2013.

Loss (gain) on asset disposals and impairments includes a gain of $4.7 million related to the sale of the Boise Terminal during the 2014 Period. We agreed to divest the Boise Terminal pursuant to the regulatory review process associated with the Northwest Products System acquisition.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our primary cash requirements relate to funding capital expenditures, meeting operational needs, paying distributions to our unitholders and paying our debt service costs. We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, issuances of additional debt and equity securities and reimbursement for certain maintenance and expansion capital expenditures. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements, long-term capital expenditure requirements, acquisition-related requirements and debt servicing requirements and allow us to fund at least the minimum quarterly cash distributions.

We filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on May 22, 2012 (the “2012 Shelf”), to provide the ability to raise up to $500.0 million by offering common units through one or more prospectus supplements that would describe, among other things, the specific amounts and prices of the common units offered and the terms of the offering. In October 2012, we issued common units for an aggregate of $177.9 million under the 2012 Shelf. We filed an additional shelf registration statement with the SEC on January 7, 2013, which allows us to raise an unlimited amount of common units through one or more prospectus supplements.

On June 25, 2014, we filed a prospectus supplement to our 2012 shelf registration statement filed with the SEC, authorizing the continuous issuance of up to an aggregate of $200.0 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”). During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we issued an aggregate of 5,500 common units under our ATM Program, generating proceeds of approximately $0.4 million, net of offering costs. The net proceeds from these sales will be used for general partnership purposes. We paid fees of $7,903 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, related to the ATM Program. We issued an additional 193,900 common units under this program for net proceeds of $13.6 million (net of offering costs of $0.3 million) that settled in July 2014. We currently have the ability to raise up to an additional $307.8 million (including the remaining amount available under the ATM Program) through the issuance of common units under the 2012 Shelf described above.

Following payment of the cash distribution for the first quarter of 2014 and the attainment of necessary approvals, the requirements for the conversion of all subordinated units were satisfied under the partnership agreement. As a result, effective May 16, 2014, 15,254,890 subordinated units were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis and thereafter participate on terms equal with all other common units in distributions of available cash. The conversion of the subordinated units did not impact the amount of cash distributions paid by the Partnership or the total number of its outstanding units.

Cash distributions

Our partnership agreement, as amended, sets forth the calculation to be used to determine the amount and priority of cash distributions that the common and subordinated unitholders and general partner will receive.

Revolving Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2014, our Revolving Credit Facility provided for total loan availability of $575.0 million, and we are allowed to request that the loan availability be increased up to an aggregate of $650.0 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders. Our Revolving Credit Facility is non-recourse to Tesoro, except for TLGP, and is guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our assets. We had $227.6 million of borrowings and $0.3 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in a total unused loan availability of $347.1 million as of June 30, 2014. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility was 2.78% as of June 30, 2014. The Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2017.

The Revolving Credit Facility was subject to the following expenses and fees at June 30, 2014:

(c) We have the option to elect if the borrowings will bear interest at either a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable period, plus the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin varies based upon a certain leverage ratio, as defined by the Revolving Credit Facility. We also incur commitment fees for the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate. Letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility incur fees at the Eurodollar margin rate.

The Revolving Credit Facility and our Senior Notes due 2020 and 2021 contain covenants that may, among other things, limit or restrict our ability (as well as the ability of our subsidiaries) to engage in certain activities. There have been no changes in these covenants from those described in the Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. We do not believe that these limitations will restrict our ability to pay distributions. Additionally, the Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants that require us to maintain certain interest coverage and leverage ratios. We submit compliance certifications to the bank quarterly, and we were in compliance with our debt covenants as of June 30, 2014.

Exchange Offer

The Partnership entered into a registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) in connection with the December 2013 private offering of $250.0 million of Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Unregistered Notes”). On July 25, 2014, the Partnership completed an offer to exchange the Unregistered Notes for notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Exchange Notes”). The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects (including principal amount, interest rate, maturity and redemption rights) to the Unregistered Notes for which they were exchanged, except that the Exchange Notes generally are not subject to transfer restrictions. The exchange offer fulfills all of the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement for the Unregistered Notes.

Cash flows from financing activities include an advance distribution to affiliate in connection with the West Coast Logistics Assets Acquisition in the 2014 Period, and amounts distributed to Tesoro for the acquisition of the Los Angles Terminal Assets in the 2013 Period.

Operating Activities. Net cash from operating activities increased $36.1 million to $89.2 million in the 2014 Period compared to $53.1 million for the 2013 Period primarily due to higher revenues and operating income as a result of the commercial agreements executed in connection with the 2013 Acquisitions.


32


Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the 2014 Period decreased $286.8 million to $54.0 million compared to $340.8 million in the 2013 Period. Cash used in investing activities in the 2013 Period included $314.8 million paid upon closing the acquisition of the Northwest Products System. The decrease related to this outflow was partially offset by higher capital expenditures in the 2014 Period including spending related to the High Plains Reversal Project and the construction of the Bakken Area Storage Hub. See “Capital Expenditures” below for a discussion of the various maintenance and expansion projects in the 2014 Period, including those reimbursed by our customers. Cash provided by investing activities during the 2014 Period also included proceeds of $9.7 million from the sale of our Boise Terminal.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the 2014 Period was $57.9 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $344.3 million for the 2013 Period. The net cash provided by financing activities in the 2013 Period included net proceeds of $391.6 million from the January 2013 Offering and $8.3 million in net proceeds from the offering of general partner units to Tesoro. We paid higher quarterly cash distributions totaling $75.5 million during the 2014 Period compared to quarterly cash distributions totaling $46.9 million paid in the 2013 Period. Net cash provided by financing activities during the 2014 Period also included $227.6 million of net borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility, $214.0 million of which were used to fund the advance distribution to TLGP in connection with the acquisition of the first portion of the West Coast Logistics Assets that closed on July 1, 2014.

Capital Expenditures

The Partnership’s operations are capital intensive, requiring investments to expand, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to maintain assets, ensuring regulatory compliance. The cost estimates described below are subject to further review, analysis and permitting requirements and include estimates for capitalized interest and labor. Maintenance capital expenditures include expenditures required to ensure the safety, reliability, integrity and regulatory compliance of our assets. Expansion capital expenditures include expenditures to purchase or construct new assets and to expand existing facilities or services that may increase throughput capacity on our pipelines and in our terminals or increase storage capacity and other services at our storage and terminalling facilities.

Our total 2014 expected capital expenditures include $200.0 million for both maintenance and expansion capital projects, which increased from $160.0 million due to the addition of expected spending related to the construction of the Connolly Gathering System and the Anacortes truck rack, discussed further below. Additionally, capital expenditures related to the construction of the second phase of the Bakken Area Storage Hub have been deferred until 2015. For the remainder of 2014, we estimate that total capital expenditures will be approximately $126.0 million, or $104.3 million net of reimbursements, for both maintenance and expansion capital projects, which includes projects to expand our crude oil gathering capabilities and terminalling capacity. We anticipate that our capital expenditures will be funded primarily with cash generated from operations, reimbursement by customers for certain maintenance and expansion capital expenditures and issuances of additional debt and equity securities, as needed.

(a) See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for information regarding the presentation of our disaggregated capital expenditures and exclusion of certain predecessor information.

Expansion Capital Expenditures

Expansion capital expenditures in the 2014 Period were $67.7 million, primarily related to the High Plains pipeline reversal project and the completion of the first phase of the Bakken Area Storage Hub. A total of $6.8 million of expansion capital expenditures were reimbursed to us in the 2014 Period. We estimate that our expansion capital expenditures for the remainder of 2014 will be approximately $92.3 million, or $84.1 million net of reimbursements. Major projects include the following:

High Plains pipeline reversal project which is expected to increase throughput on the High Plains pipeline by over 50 percent. The project commenced in 2013 and has an expected completion in 2014. The High Plains pipeline reversal project has a total expected spend of $35.0 million.
A new truck rack at the site of the existing Anacortes terminal acquired as part of the West Coast Logistics Assets, which is expected to add an additional 6,000 to 7,000 barrels per day of gasoline and diesel throughput. The project has a total estimated capital spend of $23.0 million and is expected to be complete in 2015. The estimated current year capital spend is between $5.0 million and $10.0 million.
Projects to expand and optimize the Southern California distribution system with 2014 expected spending of $25.0 million, which has been adjusted to include additional projects associated with the Los Angeles Logistics Assets. The project is expected to increase throughput and expand ancillary services.
Connolly Gathering System construction with estimated capital spending of $150.0 million, with current year spending expected to be $25.0 million. The Connolly Gathering System will gather crude oil from various points in Dunn County, North Dakota for delivery at the existing Connolly Station and is expected to have a capacity of approximately 60,000 bpd. We expect the first barrels will be delivered into the main line in late 2014 to early 2015.

In addition to the projects noted above, we are working with Tesoro to evaluate the potential development of a pipeline designed to allow the growing crude oil production in the Cook Inlet in Alaska to be transported to Tesoro’s Kenai refinery and marine terminal (the “Trans-Foreland Pipeline”). The estimated capital spend related to the Trans-Foreland Pipeline is between $85.0 million and $100.0 million. The proposed project remains subject to final Board approval, project scoping, engineering and regulatory approvals. Estimated current year spending related to this proposed project has not been included in the expected capital expenditure amounts above.

Maintenance Capital Expenditures

Maintenance capital expenditures in the 2014 Period were $6.3 million. A total of $1.5 million of maintenance capital expenditures were reimbursed to us in the 2014 Period. We estimate that our maintenance capital expenditures for the remainder of 2014 will be approximately $33.7 million, or $20.2 million, net of reimbursements.

Environmental and Other Matters

Environmental Regulation

We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which change frequently, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relate to protection of the environment. Compliance with these laws and regulations may require us to remediate environmental damage from any discharge of petroleum or chemical substances from our facilities or require us to install additional pollution control equipment on our equipment and 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 injunctions that may subject us to additional operational constraints.  


34


Future expenditures may be required to comply with the federal, state and local environmental requirements for our various sites, including our storage facilities, pipelines and refined products terminals. The impact of these 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 liquidity, financial position or results of operations. Under the Amended Omnibus Agreement and the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement Tesoro indemnifies us for certain matters, including environmental, title and tax matters associated with the ownership of our assets at or before the closing of the Initial Offering and subsequent acquisitions from Tesoro.

Environmental Liabilities

Contamination resulting from spills of crude oil and refined products is not unusual within the petroleum refining, terminalling or pipeline industries. Historic spills at certain of our assets as a result of past operations have resulted in contamination of the environment, including soils and groundwater. Site conditions, including soils and groundwater, are being evaluated at our properties where releases of hydrocarbons and other wastes have occurred. A number of our properties have known hydrocarbon or other hazardous material contamination in the soil and groundwater. See below for our discussion of the Amended Omnibus Agreement and the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement for more information regarding the indemnification of certain environmental matters provided to us by Tesoro and discussion of certain environmental obligations that were retained by Chevron in conjunction with the Northwest Products System acquisition.

The Partnership has been party to various environmental matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of these matters cannot always be accurately predicted, but the Partnership recognizes liabilities for these matters based on estimates and applicable accounting guidelines and principles. We have accrued liabilities for these expenses and believe these accruals are adequate based on current information and projections that can be reasonably estimated. Our environmental accruals are based on estimates including engineering assessments, and it is possible that our projections will change and that additional costs will be recorded as more information becomes available. Our accruals for these environmental expenditures totaled $23.0 million and $24.4 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. See Note H to our condensed combined consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding changes in environmental liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Tioga, North Dakota Crude Oil Pipeline Release

In September 2013, the Partnership responded to the release of approximately 20,000 barrels of crude oil in a rural field northeast of Tioga, North Dakota (the “Crude Oil Pipeline Release”). The environmental liabilities related to the Crude Oil Pipeline Release include amounts estimated for remediation activities that will be conducted during the next few years to restore the site for agricultural use. We accrued an additional $5.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 to reflect improved scope definition and estimates which resulted in an increase in the total estimated cost associated with the project. Probable insurance recoveries related to the Crude Oil Pipeline Release of $17.2 million and $14.0 million were included in other receivables at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, pursuant to a pollution liability insurance policy, which is subject to a $1.0 million deductible and a $25.0 million loss limit. Through June 30, 2014, we have received insurance proceeds of $2.4 million in reimbursements of costs incurred.

Costs to comply with a safety order related to the Crude Oil Pipeline Release issued by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation (“PHMSA”) are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

Chevron Diesel Pipeline Release

On March 18, 2013, Chevron detected and responded to the release of diesel fuel (the “Diesel Pipeline Release”) that occurred near Willard, Utah on the Northwest Products System. As a result of this release, a Corrective Action Order (the “CAO”) was issued on March 22, 2013 by PHMSA. In addition, on April 11, 2013, the Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Quality, of the state of Utah issued a notice of violation and compliance order. In accordance with the sale and purchase agreements related to the Northwest Products System Acquisition, as amended, Chevron retains financial and operational responsibility to remediate the site of the Diesel Pipeline Release through mid-2015, in addition to paying any monetary fines and penalties assessed by any government authority arising from this incident.

The Partnership assumed responsibility for performing additional testing and associated pipeline repairs on the pipeline pursuant to the CAO upon closing the Northwest Products System acquisition. In connection with the Northwest Products System acquisition, our condensed consolidated balance sheet included $2.9 million and $8.0 million in accrued environmental liabilities related to the CAO at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and $4.9 million and $4.7 million in accruals unrelated to the Diesel Pipeline Release included in other noncurrent liabilities at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

35



We expect to spend approximately $25.0 million in total through mid-2015 to perform a detailed inspection and maintenance program, including costs to perform repairs as a result of the inspection, which is intended to improve the integrity of the Northwest Products Pipeline. This includes the costs to comply with the CAO and also costs expected for inspections and repairs on other sections of the pipeline. We have spent $19.0 million under this inspection and maintenance program since the acquisition of the Northwest Products System including $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The purchase price of the Northwest Products system was reduced by $45 million to compensate the Partnership for assuming responsibilities under the CAO and to perform additional inspection and maintenance as the Partnership deemed necessary.

Tesoro Indemnification

Under the Amended Omnibus Agreement, Tesoro indemnifies us for certain matters, including environmental, title and tax matters associated with the ownership of our assets at or before the closing of the Initial Offering and subsequent acquisitions from Tesoro, excluding the Los Angeles Terminal Assets and the Los Angeles Logistics Assets. Under the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement, Tesoro retained responsibility for remediation of known environmental liabilities due to the use or operation of the Los Angeles Terminal Assets and the Los Angeles Logistics Assets prior to the acquisition dates, and has indemnified the Partnership for any losses incurred by the Partnership arising out of those remediation obligations. See Note J of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for additional information regarding the terms and conditions of the Amended Omnibus Agreement and the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement.

Other than described above, we did not have any material outstanding lawsuits, administrative proceedings or governmental investigations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. As we do not own the refined products or crude oil that are shipped through our pipelines, distributed through our terminals or held in our storage facilities we have minimal direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices. In addition, our commercial agreements with Tesoro are indexed for inflation and contain fuel surcharge provisions that are designed to substantially mitigate our exposure to increases in diesel fuel prices and the cost of other supplies used in our business. We do not intend to hedge our exposure to commodity price risk related to imbalance gains and losses or to diesel fuel or other supply costs.

Interest Rate Risk

Our use of debt directly exposes us to interest rate risk. Variable-rate debt, such as borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, exposes us to short-term changes in market rates that impact our interest expense. Fixed rate debt, such as our Senior Notes, exposes us to changes in the fair value of our debt due to changes in market interest rates. Fixed rate debt also exposes us to the risk that we may need to refinance maturing debt with new debt at higher rates, or that we may be obligated to rates higher than the current market. The fair value of our fixed rate debt was estimated using quoted market prices. The carrying value and fair value of our total debt were $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, as of June 30, 2014, and were both approximately $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2013. Unless interest rates increase significantly in the future, our exposure to interest rate risk should be minimal. As of June 30, 2014, we had $227.6 million of borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. Any change in interest rates would affect cash flows, but not the fair value of the debt we incur under our Revolving Credit Facility. With all other variables held constant, a 0.25% change in the interest rate associated with these borrowings would result in a $0.6 million change in annual interest expense.

We do not currently have in place any hedges or forward contracts to reduce our exposure to interest rate risks; however, we continue to monitor the market and our exposure, and may enter into these transactions in the future. We believe in the short-term we have acceptable interest rate risk and continue to monitor the risk on our long-term obligations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information that we are required to disclose in reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”), is accumulated and appropriately communicated to management. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined by applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules) during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect these controls.

We expect to complete during 2014 a transition from the 1992 framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to its 2013 framework for assessing our internal control effectiveness over financial reporting.

We carried out an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the reporting period. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On July 28, 2014, Tesoro Logistics Operations LLC (the “Operating Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TLLP, entered into a construction service agreement (the “Construction Agreement”) with Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC (“TRMC”), effective July 1, 2014. Under the Construction Agreement, the Operating Company will pay TRMC a fixed fee of $23.0 million for the construction of a new refined products distribution truck rack at the site of the Partnership’s Anacortes terminal, which was acquired on July 1, 2014.

39


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Although from time to time we may be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, we do not believe that we are a party to any litigation that will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or statements of cash flows.

On March 12, 2014, the Northwest Clean Air Agency issued a notice of violation jointly to Tesoro Logistics Operations LLC and Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC alleging a violation of air quality regulations at TLLP’s Anacortes Crude Rail Offloading facility. The allegation concerns hydrocarbon releases from the wastewater system at the unloading facility during the period of November 2012 through September 2013. While we cannot currently estimate the timing of the resolution of this matter, the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no significant changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
