FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, those under “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements use words such as “anticipate,” “project,” “expect,” “plan,” “goal,” “forecast,” “intend,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “believe,” “may,” and similar expressions and statements regarding our plans and objectives for future operations. These statements are based on our beliefs and assumptions and those of our general partner using currently available information and expectations as of the date hereof, are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Although we and our general partner believe that such expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither we nor our general partner can give assurance that our expectations will prove to be correct. All statements concerning our expectations for future results of operations are based on forecasts for our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. Our forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from results anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to:


•	risks and uncertainties with respect to the actual quantities of petroleum products and crude oil shipped on our pipelines and/or terminalled, stored or throughput in our terminals;


•	the economic viability of HollyFrontier Corporation, Alon USA, Inc. and our other customers;


•	the demand for refined petroleum products in markets we serve;


•	our ability to purchase and integrate future acquired operations;


•	our ability to complete previously announced or contemplated acquisitions;


•	the availability and cost of additional debt and equity financing;


•	the possibility of reductions in production or shutdowns at refineries utilizing our pipeline and terminal facilities;


•	the effects of current and future government regulations and policies;


•	our operational efficiency in carrying out routine operations and capital construction projects;


•	the possibility of terrorist attacks and the consequences of any such attacks;


•	general economic conditions; and


•	other financial, operational and legal risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are set forth in this Form 10-Q, including without limitation, the forward-looking statements that are referred to above. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, in “Risk Factors” and in this Form 10-Q in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” All forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q and all subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and, other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


Note 1:	Description of Business and Presentation of Financial Statements

Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”), together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a publicly held master limited partnership which is 39% owned (including the 2% general partner interest) by HollyFrontier Corporation (“HFC”) and its subsidiaries. We commenced operations on July 13, 2004, upon the completion of our initial public offering. In these consolidated financial statements, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to HEP unless the context otherwise indicates.

We own and operate petroleum product and crude oil pipelines and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that support HFC’s refining and marketing operations in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States and Alon USA, Inc.’s (“Alon”) refinery in Big Spring, Texas. Additionally, we own a 75% interest in UNEV Pipeline, LLC (“UNEV”), which owns a 417-mile, 12-inch refined products pipeline running from Woods Cross, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada (the “UNEV Pipeline”), product terminals near Cedar City, Utah and Las Vegas, Nevada and related assets, and a 25% interest in SLC Pipeline LLC, which owns a 95-mile intrastate crude oil pipeline system (the “SLC Pipeline”) that serves refineries in the Salt Lake City, Utah area.

We generate revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through our pipelines, by charging fees for terminalling and storing refined products and other hydrocarbons, and by providing other services at our storage tanks and terminals. We do not take ownership of products that we transport, terminal or store, and therefore, we are not exposed directly to changes in commodity prices.

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our results for the interim periods. Such adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature. Although certain notes and other information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, we believe that the disclosures in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2014.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, an accounting standard update (ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers") was issued requiring revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration for these goods or services. This standard is effective January 1, 2017, and we are evaluating the impact of this standard.


Note 2:	Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt and interest rate swaps. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value. Debt consists of outstanding principal under our revolving credit agreement (which approximates fair value as interest rates are reset frequently at current interest rates) and our fixed interest rate senior notes.

Fair value measurements are derived using inputs (assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability including assumptions about risk). GAAP categorizes inputs used in fair value measurements into three broad levels as follows:


•	(Level 1) Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


•	(Level 2) Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data.


•	(Level 3) Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes valuation techniques that involve significant unobservable inputs.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our senior notes and interest rate swaps were as follows:

Liabilities:
Senior notes:

		$	297,048	$	321,045	$	444,774	$	471,894

Level 2 Financial Instruments

Our senior notes and interest rate swaps are measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the senior notes is based on market values provided by a third-party, which were derived using market quotes for similar type instruments, a Level 2 input. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is based on the net present value of expected future cash flows related to both variable and fixed-rate legs of the swap agreement. The measurements are computed using the forward London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) yield curve, a market-based observable input.

See Note 6 for additional information on these instruments.


Note 3:	Properties and Equipment

The carrying amounts of our properties and equipment are as follows:



	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
	(In thousands)
Pipelines, terminals and tankage	$	1,077,189	$	1,077,037
Construction in progress	84,953		50,454
Land and right of way	63,430		63,425
Other	20,088		19,997
	1,245,660		1,210,913
Less accumulated depreciation	279,196		253,099
	$	966,464	$	957,814

We capitalized $0.9 million and $0.2 million in interest attributable to construction projects during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Depreciation expense was $27.8 million and $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.


Note 4:	Transportation Agreements

Our transportation agreements represent a portion of the total purchase price of certain assets acquired from Alon in 2005 and from HFC in 2008. The Alon agreement is being amortized over 30 years ending 2035 (the initial 15-year term of the agreement plus an expected 15-year extension period), and the HFC agreement is being amortized over 15 years ending 2023 (the term of the HFC agreement).

HOLLY ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited) Continued

The carrying amounts of our transportation agreements are as follows:



	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
	(In thousands)
Alon transportation agreement	$	59,933	$	59,933
HFC transportation agreement	74,231		74,231
	134,164		134,164
Less accumulated amortization	49,987		46,514
	$	84,177	$	87,650

We have additional transportation agreements with HFC resulting from historical transactions consisting of pipeline, terminal and tankage assets contributed to us or acquired from HFC. These transactions occurred while we were a consolidated variable interest entity of HFC, therefore, our basis in these agreements is zero and does not reflect a step-up in basis to fair value.


Note 5:	Employees, Retirement and Incentive Plans

Direct support for our operations is provided by Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C., an HFC subsidiary, which utilizes personnel employed by HFC who are dedicated to performing services for us. Their costs, including salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, benefits and other direct costs, are charged to us monthly in accordance with an omnibus agreement that we have with HFC. These employees participate in the retirement and benefit plans of HFC. Our share of retirement and benefit plan costs was $1.9 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and $3.6 million and $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

We have an incentive plan (“Long-Term Incentive Plan”) for employees and non-employee directors who perform services for us. The Long-Term Incentive Plan consists of four components: restricted or phantom units, performance units, unit options and unit appreciation rights. Our accounting policy for the recognition of compensation expense for awards with pro-rata vesting (a significant proportion of our awards) is to expense the costs ratably over the vesting periods.

As of June 30, 2014, we have three types of incentive-based awards which are described below. The compensation cost charged against income was $0.8 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We currently purchase units in the open market instead of issuing new units for settlement of all unit awards under our Long-Term Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2014, 2,500,000 units were authorized to be granted under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, of which 1,632,388 have not yet been granted, assuming no forfeitures of the unvested units and full achievement of goals for the performance units already granted.

Restricted and Phantom Units

Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant restricted units to non-employee directors and selected employees who perform services for us, with most awards vesting over a period of one to three years. Although full ownership of the units does not transfer to the recipients until the units vest, the recipients have distribution and voting rights on these units from the date of grant.

In addition, we grant phantom units to certain employees, which vest over a period of one year. Vested units are paid in common units. Full ownership of the units does not transfer to the recipient until the units vest, and the recipients do not have voting or distribution rights on these units until they vest.

The fair value of each restricted unit and phantom unit award is measured at the market price as of the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period.

A summary of restricted and phantom unit activity and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2014, is presented below:



Restricted and Phantom Units	Units		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2014 (nonvested)	122,951		$	33.36
Granted	3,081		32.46
Vesting and transfer of common units to recipients	(2,244	)	40.86
Forfeited	(3,968	)	37.82
Outstanding at June 30, 2014 (nonvested)	119,820		$	33.05

As of June 30, 2014, there was $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted unit and phantom unit grants, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years.

Performance Units

Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant performance units to selected executives who perform services for us. Performance units granted are payable based upon the growth in our distributable cash flow per common unit over the performance period, and vest over a period of three years. As of June 30, 2014, estimated unit payouts for outstanding nonvested performance unit awards were at 100%.

No performance units were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Performance units granted in 2013 vest over a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2015, for performance units granted in February 2013, and December 31, 2016, for performance units granted in November 2013. The performance units granted are payable in HEP common units. The number of units actually earned will be based on the growth of our distributable cash flow per common unit over the performance period and can range from 0% to 200% of the target number of performance units granted (in the case of our Chairman, who received a performance unit award in March 2013 prior to his retirement from Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C., our ultimate general partner ("HLS")) or from 50% to 150% of the target number of performance units granted (in the case of other officers granted performance units). Although common units are not transferred to the recipients until the performance units vest, the recipients have distribution rights with respect to the common units from the date of grant.

A summary of performance unit activity and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2014, is presented below:



Performance Units	Units
Outstanding at January 1, 2014 (nonvested)	75,216
Granted	—
Vesting and transfer of common units to recipients	(17,938	)
Outstanding at June 30, 2014 (nonvested)	57,278

The grant-date fair value of performance units vested and transferred to recipients during the six months ended June 30, 2014, was $0.5 million. As of June 30, 2014, there was $1.0 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested performance units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.


Note 6:	Debt

Credit Agreement

We have a $650 million senior secured revolving credit facility expiring in November 2018 (the “Credit Agreement”) that is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments and working capital and for general partnership purposes. It is also available to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement involves recourse to HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P. (“HEP Logistics”), our general partner, and is guaranteed by our material wholly-owned subsidiaries. Any recourse to HEP Logistics would be limited to the extent of its assets, which other than

its investment in us, are not significant. We may prepay all loans at any time without penalty, except for payment of certain breakage and related costs.

The Credit Agreement imposes certain requirements on us with which we are currently in compliance, including: a prohibition against distribution to unitholders if, before or after the distribution, a potential default or an event of default as defined in the agreement would occur; limitations on our ability to incur debt, make loans, acquire other companies, change the nature of our business, enter into a merger or consolidation, or sell assets; and covenants that require maintenance of a specified EBITDA to interest expense ratio, total debt to EBITDA ratio and senior debt to EBITDA ratio. If an event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of the debt and exercise other rights and remedies.

Senior Notes

In March 2014, we redeemed the $150 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior notes (the "8.25% Senior Notes")maturing March 2018 at a redemption cost of $156.2 million, at which time we recognized a $7.7 million early extinguishment loss consisting of a $6.2 million debt redemption premium and unamortized discount and financing costs of $1.5 million. We funded the redemption with borrowings under our Credit Agreement.

We have $300 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of 6.5% senior notes (the "6.5% Senior Notes") maturing March 2020. The 6.5% Senior Notes are unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, with which we are currently in compliance, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, pay distributions, enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into mergers. At any time when the 6.5% Senior Notes are rated investment grade by both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s and no default or event of default exists, we will not be subject to many of the foregoing covenants. Additionally, we have certain redemption rights at varying premiums over face value under the 6.5% Senior Notes.

Indebtedness under the 6.5% Senior Notes involves recourse to HEP Logistics, our general partner, and is guaranteed by our wholly-owned subsidiaries. However, any recourse to HEP Logistics would be limited to the extent of its assets, which other than its investment in us, are not significant.

Interest Rate Risk Management

We use interest rate swaps (derivative instruments) to manage our exposure to interest rate risk.

As of June 30, 2014, we have three interest rate swaps that hedge our exposure to the cash flow risk caused by the effects of LIBOR changes on $305 million of Credit Agreement advances. Our first interest rate swap effectively converts $155 million of our LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 0.99% plus an applicable margin of 2.00% as of June 30, 2014, which equaled an effective interest rate of 2.99%. This swap contract matures in February 2016. We also have two additional interest rate swaps with identical terms which effectively convert $150 million of our LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 0.74% plus an applicable margin of 2.00% as of June 30, 2014, which equaled an effective interest rate of 2.74%. Both of these swap contracts mature in July 2017.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited) Continued

We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. Based on our assessment of effectiveness using the change in variable cash flows method, we have determined that these interest rate swaps are effective in offsetting the variability in interest payments on $305 million of our variable rate debt resulting from changes in LIBOR. Under hedge accounting, we adjust our cash flow hedges on a quarterly basis to their fair values with the offsetting fair value adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Also on a quarterly basis, we measure hedge effectiveness by comparing the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future interest to be paid or received on the variable leg of our swaps against the expected future interest payments on $305 million of our variable rate debt. Any ineffectiveness is recorded directly to interest expense. As of June 30, 2014, we had no ineffectiveness on our cash flow hedges.

At June 30, 2014, we have accumulated other comprehensive loss of $0.8 million that relates to our current cash flow hedging instruments. Approximately $0.7 million will be transferred from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense as interest is paid on the underlying swap agreement over the next twelve-month period, assuming interest rates remain unchanged.

Note 7:	Significant Customers

All revenues are domestic revenues, of which 93% are generated currently from our two largest customers: HFC and Alon. The vast majority of our revenues are derived from activities conducted in the southwest United States.

The following table presents the percentage of total revenues generated by each of these customers:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
HFC	86	%	84	%	84	%	83	%
Alon	7	%	11	%	9	%	10	%


Note 8:	Related Party Transactions

We serve HFC's refineries under long-term pipeline and terminal, tankage and throughput agreements expiring from 2019 to 2026. Under these agreements, HFC agrees to transport, store and throughput volumes of refined product and crude oil on our pipelines and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that result in minimum annual payments to us. These minimum annual payments or revenues are subject to annual tariff rate adjustments on July 1st each year, based on the Producer Price Index (“PPI”) or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) index. Following the July 1, 2014, PPI adjustment, HFC's minimum annual payments to us under these agreements increased by $3.3 million to $228.7 million.

If HFC fails to meet its minimum volume commitments under the agreements in any quarter, it will be required to pay us the amount of any shortfall in cash by the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. Under certain of these agreements, a shortfall payment may be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after its minimum obligations are met.

Under certain provisions of an omnibus agreement we have with HFC (the “Omnibus Agreement”), we pay HFC an annual administrative fee (currently $2.3 million) for the provision by HFC or its affiliates of various general and administrative services to us. This fee does not include the salaries of personnel employed by HFC who perform services for us on behalf of HLS or the cost of their employee benefits, which are charged to us separately by HFC. Also, we reimburse HFC and its affiliates for direct expenses they incur on our behalf.

Related party transactions with HFC are as follows:


•	Revenues received from HFC were $64.5 million and $63.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $136.3 million and $124.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.


•	HFC charged us general and administrative services under the Omnibus Agreement of $0.6 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and $1.2 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.


•	We reimbursed HFC for costs of employees supporting our operations of $9.6 million and $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $18.8 million and $19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.


•	HFC reimbursed us $3.9 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $8.4 million and $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for certain reimbursable costs and capital projects.


•	We distributed $19.8 million and $17.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, to HFC as regular distributions on its common units and general partner interest, including general partner incentive distributions. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we distributed $39.0 million and $34.8 million, respectively.


•	Accounts receivable from HFC were $27.9 million and $29.7 million at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.


•	Accounts payable to HFC were $4.0 million and $8.5 million at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.


•	Revenues for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2014, include $0.2 million and $7.6 million, respectively, of shortfall payments billed in 2013, as HFC did not exceed its minimum volume commitment in any of the subsequent four quarters. Deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, includes

(Unaudited) Continued

$5.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively, relating to certain shortfall billings. It is possible that HFC may not exceed its minimum obligations to receive credit for any of the $5.7 million deferred at June 30, 2014.


Note 9:	Partners’ Equity

As of June 30, 2014, HFC held 22,380,030 of our common units and the 2% general partner interest, which together constituted a 39% ownership interest in us.

Allocations of Net Income

Net income attributable to HEP is allocated between limited partners and the general partner interest in accordance with the provisions of the partnership agreement. HEP net income allocated to the general partner includes incentive distributions that are declared subsequent to quarter end. After the amount of incentive distributions is allocated to the general partner, the remaining net income attributable to HEP is allocated to the partners based on their weighted-average ownership percentage during the period.

The following table presents the allocation of the general partner interest in net income for the periods presented below:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
	(In thousands)
General partner interest in net income	$	299	$	275	$	628	$	522
General partner incentive distribution	8,094		6,405		15,766		12,388
Total general partner interest in net income	$	8,393	$	6,680	$	16,394	$	12,910

Cash Distributions

Our general partner, HEP Logistics, is entitled to incentive distributions if the amount we distribute with respect to any quarter exceeds specified target levels.

On July 24, 2014, we announced our cash distribution for the second quarter of 2014 of $0.515 per unit. The distribution is payable on all common and general partner units and will be paid August 14, 2014, to all unitholders of record on August 4, 2014.

The following table presents the allocation of our regular quarterly cash distributions to the general and limited partners for the periods in which they apply. Our distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end; therefore, the amounts presented do not reflect distributions paid during the periods presented below.



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
	(In thousands, except per unit data)
General partner interest in distribution	$	807	$	737	$	1,597	$	1,456
General partner incentive distribution	8,094		6,405		15,766		12,388
Total general partner distribution	8,901		7,142		17,363		13,844
Limited partner distribution	30,209		28,448		59,977		56,457
Total regular quarterly cash distribution	$	39,110	$	35,590	$	77,340	$	70,301
Cash distribution per unit applicable to limited partners	$	0.515	$	0.485	$	1.0225	$	0.9625

As a master limited partnership, we distribute our available cash, which historically has exceeded our net income attributable to HEP because depreciation and amortization expense represents a non-cash charge against income. The result is a decline in our partners’ equity since our regular quarterly distributions have exceeded our quarterly net income attributable to HEP. Additionally, if the asset contributions and acquisitions from HFC had occurred while we were not a consolidated variable interest entity of HFC, our acquisition cost, in excess of HFC’s historical basis in the transferred assets of $305.3 million would have been recorded in our financial statements at the time of acquisition, as increases to our properties and equipment and intangible assets instead of decreases to our partners’ equity.

Item 2.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Item 2, including but not limited to the sections on “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” contains forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In this document, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”) and its consolidated subsidiaries or to HEP or an individual subsidiary and not to any other person.

OVERVIEW

HEP is a Delaware limited partnership. We own and operate petroleum product and crude pipelines and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that support the refining and marketing operations of HollyFrontier Corporation (“HFC”) in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States and Alon USA, Inc’s (“Alon”) refinery in Big Spring, Texas. HFC owns a 39% interest in us including the 2% general partnership interest. Additionally, we own a 75% interest in UNEV Pipeline, LLC (“UNEV”), the owner of a pipeline running from Woods Cross, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada (the “UNEV Pipeline”), product terminals and a 25% interest in SLC Pipeline LLC, a 95-mile intrastate crude oil pipeline system (the “SLC Pipeline”), that serves refineries in the Salt Lake City, Utah area.

We generate revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through our pipelines, by charging fees for terminalling and storing refined products and other hydrocarbons and providing other services at our storage tanks and terminals. We do not take ownership of products that we transport, terminal or store, and therefore, we are not directly exposed to changes in commodity prices.

We have a long-term strategic relationship with HFC. Our current growth plan is to continue to pursue purchases of logistic assets at HFC's existing refining locations in New Mexico, Utah, Oklahoma, Kansas and Wyoming. We also expect to work with HFC on logistic asset acquisitions in conjunction with HFC’s refinery acquisition strategies. Furthermore, we plan to continue to pursue third-party logistic asset acquisitions that are accretive to our unitholders and increase the diversity of our revenues.

Agreements with HFC and Alon

We serve HFC’s refineries under long-term pipeline and terminal, tankage and throughput agreements expiring from 2019 to 2026. Under these agreements, HFC has agreed to transport, store and throughput volumes of refined product and crude oil on our pipelines and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that result in minimum annual payments to us. These minimum annual payments or revenues are subject to annual tariff rate adjustments on July 1st each year, based on the Producer Price Index (“PPI”) or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) index. Following the July 1, 2014, PPI adjustment, HFC's minimum annual payments to us under these agreements increased by $3.3 million to $228.7 million.

If HFC fails to meet its minimum volume commitments under the agreements in any quarter, it will be required to pay us the amount of any shortfall in cash by the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. Under certain of the agreements, a shortfall payment may be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after minimum obligations are met.

We also have a pipelines and terminals agreement with Alon expiring in 2020 under which Alon has agreed to transport on our pipelines and throughput through our terminals volumes of refined products that result in a minimum level of annual revenue that is also subject to annual tariff rate adjustments. We also have a capacity lease agreement under which we lease Alon space on our Orla to El Paso pipeline for the shipment of refined product. The terms under this agreement expire beginning in 2018 through 2022. As of June 30, 2014, these agreements with Alon will result in minimum annualized payments to us of $32.1 million.

A significant reduction in revenues under these agreements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Under certain provisions of an omnibus agreement we have with HFC (“Omnibus Agreement”), we pay HFC an annual administrative fee, currently $2.3 million, for the provision by HFC or its affiliates of various general and administrative services to us. This fee does not include the salaries of personnel employed by HFC who perform services for us on behalf of HLS or the cost of their employee benefits, which are separately charged to us by HFC. We also reimburse HFC and its affiliates for direct expenses they incur on our behalf.

EBITDA is calculated as net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) state income tax and (iii) depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation based upon U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for compliance with financial covenants. Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA.

Distributable cash flow is not a calculation based upon GAAP. However, the amounts included in the calculation are derived from amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements, with the general exceptions of maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Distributable cash flow is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Distributable cash flow is presented here because it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance. Also it is used by management for internal analysis and for our performance units. We believe that this measure provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating. Set forth below is our calculation of distributable cash flow.

As a master limited partnership, we distribute our available cash, which historically has exceeded our net income because depreciation and amortization expense represents a non-cash charge against income. The result is a decline in partners’ equity since our regular quarterly distributions have exceeded our quarterly net income. Additionally, if the assets contributed and acquired from HFC while under common control of HFC had been acquired from third parties, our acquisition cost in excess of HFC’s basis in the transferred assets of $305.3 million would have been recorded in our financial statements as increases to our properties and equipment and intangible assets instead of decreases to partners’ equity.

Results of Operations—Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Summary

Net income attributable to HEP for the second quarter was $23.0 million compared to $20.2 million for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in earnings is primarily due to decreased interest expense incurred on our 8.25% Senior Notes due to early retirement in March 2014, which was partially offset by lower pipeline shipments due to a major maintenance turnaround at Alon's Big Spring refinery.

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014, include the recognition of $0.2 million of prior shortfalls billed to shippers in 2013 compared to revenues at June 30, 2013, which included the recognition of $0.7 million of prior shortfalls billed to shippers in 2012. Deficiency payments of $5.5 million associated with certain guaranteed shipping contracts were deferred during the three months ended June 30, 2014. Such deferred revenue will be recognized in earnings either as payment for shipments in excess of guaranteed levels, if and to the extent the pipeline system will not have the necessary capacity for shipments in excess of guaranteed levels, or when shipping rights expire unused over the contractual make-up period.

Revenues

Revenues for the quarter were $75.0 million, a $0.3 million decrease compared to the second quarter of 2013 due to the effect of lower pipeline volumes offset by higher terminal volumes. Major maintenance performed at Alon's Big Spring refinery affected revenue and resulted in overall pipeline volumes being down 5% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $25.0 million, a decrease of $1.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2013, primarily due to decreased volumes. Shipments averaged 163.2 mbpd compared to 186.6 mbpd for the second quarter of 2013.

Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $6.7 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, on shipments averaging 143.4 mbpd compared to 142.4 mbpd for the second quarter of 2013. Revenues decreased mainly due to a $0.5 million decrease in deferred revenue recognized.

Revenues from our crude pipelines were $13.0 million, an increase of $0.8 million, on shipments averaging 178.6 mbpd compared to 184.3 mbpd for the second quarter of 2013. Although crude pipeline shipments were down, revenues from our crude pipelines increased due to annual tariff increases, increased volumes on certain pipeline segments and minimum quarterly revenue billings on segments where volumes decreased.

Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $30.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2013. Refined products terminalled in our facilities averaged 325.8 mbpd compared to 333.9 mbpd for the second quarter of 2013. Although volumes were down at the loading rack facilities, revenue increased due to annual fee increases,

higher tank cost reimbursement receipts from HFC and minimum quarterly revenue billings at facilities where volumes decreased.

Operations Expense

Operations expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014, remained level compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $0.8 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is due principally to asset abandonment charges related to tankage permanently removed from service.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2014, decreased by $0.6 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, due to decreased employee costs and professional fees.

Equity in Earnings of SLC Pipeline

Our equity in earnings of the SLC Pipeline was $0.7 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014, totaled $8.3 million, a decrease of $3.3 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease is due primarily to the early retirement of our 8.25% Senior Notes in March 2014. Our aggregate effective interest rates were 4.0% and 5.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

State Income Tax

We recorded state income tax expense of $28,000 and $344,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. All tax expense is solely attributable to the Texas margin tax. Due to a statutory change in June 2013, there was a one-time charge of $366,000 to establish a deferred tax liability. This statutory change will result in lower cash taxes to HEP from 2013 forward.

Results of Operations—Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Summary

Net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was $47.2 million compared to $38.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in net income is due primarily to higher pipeline and terminal volumes. Additionally, a charge of $7.7 million related to the redemption of our $150 million 8.25% Senior Notes significantly impacted earnings in the first quarter of 2014.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014, include the recognition of $9.5 million of prior shortfalls billed to shippers in 2013. Deficiency payments of $7.3 million associated with certain guaranteed shipping contracts were deferred during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Such deferred revenue will be recognized in earnings either as payment for shipments in excess of guaranteed levels, if and to the extent the pipeline system will not have the necessary capacity for shipments in excess of guaranteed levels, or when shipping rights expire unused over the contractual make-up period.

Revenues

Revenues for six months ended June 30, 2014, were $162.0 million, a $12.4 million increase compared to the first six months of 2013. This is due principally to increased pipeline shipments in the first quarter, the effect of annual tariff increases, and a $2.2 million increase in deferred revenue realized. Overall pipeline volumes were up 6.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $60.8 million, an increase of $6.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to increased volumes and due to the effects of a $2.0 million increase in deferred revenue realized. Shipments averaged 176.3 mbpd compared to 167.0 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $14.6 million, an increase of $1.1 million, on shipments averaging 141.0 mbpd compared to 131.7 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Overall intermediate pipeline shipments were up and revenues also increased partially due to a $0.2 million increase in deferred revenue realized.

Revenues from our crude pipelines were $25.7 million, an increase of $1.9 million, on shipments averaging 177.8 mbpd compared to 165.2 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Table of Contentsril 19,

Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $61.0 million, an increase of $2.5 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase is due principally to increased tankage revenues. Refined products terminalled in our facilities averaged 333.0 mbpd compared to 324.8 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014, include the recognition of $9.5 million of prior shortfalls billed to shippers in 2013, as they did not meet their minimum volume commitments within the contractual makeup period.

Operations Expense

Operations expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014, decreased by $3.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease is due to lower maintenance costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2014, increased by $2.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase is due principally to asset abandonment charges related to tankage permanently removed from service.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014, decreased by $0.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to decreased employee costs and professional fees.

Equity in Earnings of SLC Pipeline

Our equity in earnings of the SLC Pipeline was $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014, totaled $18.8 million, a decrease of $5.3 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease is due principally to amortization of costs related to a terminated cash flow hedge that became fully amortized in February 2013 as well as decreased interest expense incurred on our 8.25% Senior Notes due to early retirement in March 2014. Our aggregate effective interest rates were 4.5% and 5.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

We recognized a charge of $7.7 million upon the early extinguishment of our 8.25% Senior Notes in March 2014. This charge is for the premium paid to noteholders upon their tender of an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million and related financing costs that were previously deferred.

Gain on Sale of Assets

The $2.0 million gain on the sale of assets for the six months ended June 30, 2013, is from the sale of property in El Paso, Texas.

State Income Tax

We recorded state income tax expense of $103,000 and $400,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. All tax expense is solely attributable to the Texas margin tax. Due to a statutory change in June 2013, there was a one-time charge of $366,000 to establish a deferred tax liability. This statutory change will result in lower cash taxes to HEP from 2013 forward.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

We have a $650 million senior secured revolving credit facility expiring in November 2018 (the “Credit Agreement”) that is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments and working capital and for general partnership purposes. It also is available to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received advances totaling $477.1 million and repaid $297.1 million resulting in a net increase of $180.0 million under the Credit Agreement and an outstanding balance of $543.0 million at June 30, 2014.

If any particular lender under the Credit Agreement could not honor its commitment, we believe the unused capacity that would be available from the remaining lenders would be sufficient to meet our borrowing needs. Additionally, we review publicly available information on the lenders in order to monitor their financial stability and assess their ongoing ability to honor their commitments under the Credit Agreement. We do not expect to experience any difficulty in the lenders’ ability to honor their respective commitments, and if it were to become necessary, we believe there would be alternative lenders or options available.

In March 2014, we redeemed the $150 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.25% senior notes (the "8.25% Senior Notes") maturing March 2018 at a redemption cost of $156.2 million, at which time we recognized a $7.7 million early extinguishment loss consisting of a $6.2 million debt redemption premium and an unamortized discount of $1.5 million. We funded the redemption with borrowings under our Credit Agreement.

Under our registration statement filed with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process, we currently have the ability to raise up to $2.0 billion by offering securities, through one or more prospectus supplements that would describe, among other things, the specific amounts, prices and terms of any securities offered and how the proceeds would be used. Any proceeds from the sale of securities would be used for general business purposes, which may include, among other things, funding acquisitions of assets or businesses, working capital, capital expenditures, investments in subsidiaries, the retirement of existing debt and/or the repurchase of common units or other securities.

We believe our current cash balances, future internally generated funds and funds available under the Credit Agreement will provide sufficient resources to meet our working capital liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

In February and May 2014, we paid regular quarterly cash distributions of $0.50 and $0.5075, respectively, on all units in an aggregate amount of $75.6 million including $14.9 million of incentive distribution payments to the general partner.

Contemporaneously with our UNEV Pipeline interest acquisition on July 12, 2012, HEP Logistics, our general partner, agreed to forego its right to incentive distributions of $1.25 million per quarter over twelve consecutive quarterly periods following the close of the transaction and up to an additional four quarters in certain circumstances.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The cash flows provided by operating activities of $92.4 million were less than the sum of cash flows used for financing and investing activities of $54.2 million and $38.5 million, respectively. Working capital increased by $6.5 million to a negative $0.1 million at June 30, 2014, from a negative $6.6 million at December 31, 2013.

Cash Flows—Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased by $10.3 million from $82.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, to $92.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase is due principally to $10.5 million of greater cash receipts for services performed in the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the prior year.

Our major shippers are obligated to make deficiency payments to us if they do not meet their minimum volume shipping obligations. Under certain agreements with these shippers, they have the right to recapture these amounts if future volumes exceed minimum levels. We billed $9.5 million during 2013 related to shortfalls that subsequently expired without recapture and were recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Another $5.5 million is included as deferred revenue on our balance sheet at June 30, 2014, related to shortfalls billed during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Cash Flows—Investing Activities

Cash flows used for investing activities increased by $23.9 million from $14.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, to $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we invested $38.6 million and $17.2 million in additions to properties and equipment, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we received $2.5 million proceeds from the sale of assets.

Cash Flows—Financing Activities

Cash flows used for financing activities were $54.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $64.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $9.8 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received $477.1 million and repaid $297.1 million in advances under the Credit Agreement and paid $156.2 million to redeem the 8.25% Senior Notes. Additionally, we paid $75.6 million in regular quarterly cash distributions to our general and limited partners, paid $2.0 million to our noncontrolling interest and paid $0.4 million for the purchase of common units for recipients of our incentive grants. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we received $154.5 million and repaid $220.5 million in advances under the Credit Agreement, received net proceeds of $73.4 million from the common unit public offering and and $1.5 million from the general partner to maintain its 2% interest. We paid $67.4 million in regular quarterly cash distributions to our general and limited partners and paid $3.3 million for the purchase of common units for recipients of our incentive grants.

Capital Requirements

Our pipeline and terminalling operations are capital intensive, requiring investments to maintain, expand, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. Our capital requirements have consisted of, and are

- 32 -

Table of Contentsril 19,

expected to continue to consist of, maintenance capital expenditures and expansion capital expenditures. “Maintenance capital expenditures” represent capital expenditures to replace partially or fully depreciated assets to maintain the operating capacity of

existing assets. Maintenance capital expenditures include expenditures required to maintain equipment reliability, tankage and pipeline integrity, safety and to address environmental regulations. “Expansion capital expenditures” represent capital expenditures to expand the operating capacity of existing or new assets, whether through construction or acquisition. Expansion capital expenditures include expenditures to acquire assets, to grow our business and to expand existing facilities, such as projects that increase throughput capacity on our pipelines and in our terminals. Repair and maintenance expenses associated with existing assets that are minor in nature and do not extend the useful life of existing assets are charged to operating expenses as incurred.

Each year the board of directors of Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C., our ultimate general partner ("HLS"), approves our annual capital budget, which specifies capital projects that our management is authorized to undertake. Additionally, at times when conditions warrant or as new opportunities arise, additional projects may be approved. The funds allocated for a particular capital project may be expended over a period in excess of a year, depending on the time required to complete the project. Therefore, our planned capital expenditures for a given year consist of expenditures approved for capital projects included in the current year's capital budget as well as, in certain cases, expenditures approved for capital projects in capital budgets for prior years. The 2014 capital budget is comprised of $7.3 million for maintenance capital expenditures and $26.2 million for expansion capital expenditures. We expect to spend approximately $52 million in cash for capital projects approved in 2014 plus those approved in prior years but not yet completed, including the planned expansion of our crude oil transportation system in southeastern New Mexico and the UNEV project discussed below. In addition to our capital budget, we may spend funds periodically to perform capital upgrades to our assets where a customer reimburses us for such costs. These reimbursements would be required under contractual agreements, and the upgrades would generally benefit the customer over the remaining life of such agreements.

We are proceeding with the expansion of our crude oil transportation system in southeastern New Mexico in response to increased crude oil production in the area. The expansion should provide shippers with additional pipeline takeaway capacity to either common carrier pipeline stations for transportation to major crude oil markets or to HFC's New Mexico refining facilities. To complete the project, we are converting an existing refined products pipeline to crude oil service, constructing several new pipeline segments, expanding an existing pipeline, and building new truck unloading stations and crude storage capacity. Excluding the value of the existing pipeline to be converted, total capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $50 million. We expect that the increase over the original budget range of $35 million to $40 million will be recovered from HFC over a five year period through an additional fee on shipped volumes. We estimate the project will provide increased capacity of up to 100,000 barrels per day across the system. Certain segments of this project are already in service, and we anticipate it will be in full service by September 2014.

UNEV is proceeding with a project to enhance its product terminal in Las Vegas, Nevada. We expect that the project will cost approximately $13 million with construction expected to be completed no later than the third quarter of 2014.

We have announced that we are evaluating the potential construction of several new tanks at HFC’s El Dorado Refinery as well as additional pipeline connections that could increase the refinery’s crude flexibility. As this potential project is still under consideration, the HLS board has not yet approved a capital budget for such project. We are proceeding with engineering estimates for this potential project.

We expect that our currently planned sustaining and maintenance capital expenditures, as well as expenditures for acquisitions and capital development projects, will be funded with cash generated by operations, the sale of additional limited partner common units, the issuance of debt securities and advances under our Credit Agreement, or a combination thereof. With volatility and uncertainty at times in the credit and equity markets, there may be limits on our ability to issue new debt or equity financing. Additionally, due to pricing movements in the debt and equity markets, we may not be able to issue new debt and equity securities at acceptable pricing. Without additional capital beyond amounts available under the Credit Agreement, our ability to obtain funds for some of these capital projects may be limited.

Under the terms of the transaction to acquire HFC's 75% interest in UNEV, we issued to HFC a Class B unit comprising a noncontrolling equity interest in a wholly-owned subsidiary subject to redemption to the extent that HFC is entitled to a 50% interest in our share of annual UNEV earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization above $30 million beginning July 1, 2016, and ending in June 2032, subject to certain limitations.

Credit Agreement

- 33 -

Table of Contentsril 19,

The Credit Agreement imposes certain requirements on us which we are currently in compliance with, including: a prohibition against distribution to unitholders if, before or after the distribution, a potential default or an event of default as defined in the agreement would occur; limitations on our ability to incur debt, make loans, acquire other companies, change the nature of our business, enter into a merger or consolidation, or sell assets; and covenants that require maintenance of a specified EBITDA to interest expense ratio, total debt to EBITDA ratio and senior debt to EBITDA ratio. If an event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of the debt and exercise other rights and remedies.

Senior Notes

In March 2014, we redeemed the $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior notes (the "8.25% Senior Notes") maturing March 2018 at a redemption cost of $156.2 million at which time we recognized a $7.7 million early extinguishment loss consisting of a $6.2 million debt redemption premium and unamortized discount and financing costs of $1.5 million. We funded the redemption with borrowings under our Credit Agreement.

We have $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of 6.5% senior notes (the "6.5% Senior Notes") maturing March 2020. The 6.5% Senior Notes are unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, with which we are currently in compliance, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, pay distributions, enter into transactions with affiliates and enter into mergers. At any time when the 6.5% Senior Notes are rated investment grade by both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s and no default or event of default exists, we will not be subject to many of the foregoing covenants. Additionally, we have certain redemption rights at varying premiums over face value under the 6.5% Senior Notes.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation in the United States has been relatively moderate in recent years and did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Historically, the PPI has increased an average of 2.2% annually over the past five calendar years.

The substantial majority of our revenues are generated under long-term contracts that provide for increases in our rates and minimum revenue guarantees annually for increases in the PPI. Certain of these contracts have provisions that limit the level of annual PPI percentage rate increases. Although the recent PPI increase may not be indicative of additional increases to be realized in the future, a significant and prolonged period of high inflation could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations if costs increase at a rate greater than the fees we charge our shippers.

Environmental Matters

Our operation of pipelines, terminals, and associated facilities in connection with the transportation and storage of refined products and crude oil is subject to stringent and complex federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. As with the industry generally, compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations increases our overall cost of business, including our capital costs to construct, maintain, and upgrade equipment and facilities. While these laws and regulations affect our maintenance capital expenditures and net income, we believe that they do not affect our competitive position given that the operations of our competitors are similarly affected. We believe our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. However, these laws and regulations, and the interpretation or enforcement thereof, are subject to frequent change by regulatory authorities, and we are unable to predict the ongoing cost to us of complying with these laws and regulations or the future impact of these laws and regulations on our operations. Violation of environmental laws, regulations, and permits can result in the imposition of significant administrative, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions, and construction bans or delays. A major discharge of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent the event is not insured, subject us to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable laws and regulations and claims made by employees, neighboring landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property damage.

Under the Omnibus Agreement and certain transportation agreements and purchase agreements with HFC, HFC has agreed to indemnify us, subject to certain monetary and time limitations, for environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities associated with certain assets transferred to us from HFC and occurring or existing prior to the date of such transfers.

We have an environmental agreement with Alon with respect to pre-closing environmental costs and liabilities relating to the pipelines and terminals acquired from Alon in 2005, under which Alon will indemnify us subject to certain monetary and time limitations.

There are environmental remediation projects that are currently in progress that relate to certain assets acquired from HFC. Certain of these projects were underway prior to our purchase and represent liabilities of HFC as the obligation for future remediation activities was retained by HFC. At June 30, 2014, we have an accrual of $3.9 million that relates to environmental clean-up projects for which we have assumed liability or for which the indemnity provided for by HFC has expired or will expire. The remaining projects, including assessment and monitoring activities, are covered under the HFC environmental indemnification discussed above and represent liabilities of HFC.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant accounting policies are described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Certain critical accounting policies that materially affect the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, assessing the possible impairment of certain long-lived assets and goodwill, and assessing contingent liabilities for probable losses. There have been no changes to these policies in 2014. We consider these policies to be the most critical to understanding the judgments that are involved and the uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

RISK MANAGEMENT

We use interest rate swaps (derivative instruments) to manage our exposure to interest rate risk.

As of June 30, 2014, we have three interest rate swaps, designated as a cash flow hedge, that hedge our exposure to the cash flow risk caused by the effects of LIBOR changes on $305.0 million of Credit Agreement advances. Our first interest rate swap effectively converts $155.0 million of our LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 0.99% plus an applicable margin of 2.00% as of June 30, 2014, which equaled an effective interest rate of 2.99%. This swap contract matures in February 2016. Also we have two similar interest rate swaps with identical terms which effectively convert $150.0 million of our LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 0.74% plus an applicable margin of 2.00% as of June 30, 2014, which equaled an effective interest rate of 2.74%. Both of these swap contracts mature in July 2017.

We review publicly available information on our counterparties in order to monitor their financial stability and assess their ongoing ability to honor their commitments under the interest rate swap contracts. These counterparties are large financial institutions. Furthermore, we have not experienced, nor do we expect to experience, any difficulty in the counterparties honoring their respective commitments.

The market risk inherent in our debt positions is the potential change arising from increases or decreases in interest rates as discussed below.

At June 30, 2014, we had an outstanding principal balance on our 6.5% Senior Notes of $300 million. A change in interest rates generally would affect the fair value of the Senior Notes, but not our earnings or cash flows. At June 30, 2014, the fair value of our 6.5% Senior Notes was $320.3 million. We estimate a hypothetical 10% change in the yield-to-maturity applicable to the 6.5% Senior Notes at June 30, 2014, would result in a change of approximately $8.0 million in the fair value of the underlying notes.

For the variable rate Credit Agreement, changes in interest rates would affect cash flows, but not the fair value. At June 30, 2014, borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $543.0 million. By means of our cash flow hedges, we have effectively converted the variable rate on $305.0 million of outstanding borrowings to a fixed rate. For the remaining unhedged Credit Agreement borrowings of $238.0 million, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates applicable to the Credit Agreement would not materially affect our cash flows.

Our operations are subject to normal hazards of operations, including fire, explosion and weather-related perils. We maintain various insurance coverages, including business interruption insurance, subject to certain deductibles. We are not fully insured against certain risks because such risks are not fully insurable, coverage is unavailable, or premium costs, in our judgment, do not justify such expenditures.

We have a risk management oversight committee that is made up of members from our senior management. This committee monitors our risk environment and provides direction for activities to mitigate, to an acceptable level, identified risks that may adversely affect the achievement of our goals.


Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. See “Risk Management” under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of market risk exposures that we have with respect to our long-term debt, which disclosure should be read in conjunction with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. We utilize derivative instruments to hedge our interest rate exposure, as discussed under “Risk Management.”

Since we do not own products shipped on our pipelines or terminalled at our terminal facilities, we do not have direct market risks associated with commodity prices.


Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014, at a reasonable level of assurance.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
