SUNOCO LOGISTICS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (the Partnership) is a publicly traded Delaware limited
partnership formed by Sunoco, Inc. (Sunoco) in October 2001 to acquire a substantial portion of
Sunocos logistics business. The Partnership owns and operates a geographically diverse portfolio
of complementary assets, consisting of refined product pipelines, terminalling and storage assets,
crude oil pipelines, and crude oil acquisition and marketing assets located in the Northeast,
Midwest and South Central United States. Sunoco, Inc. and its whollyowned subsidiaries including
Sunoco, Inc. (R&M) are collectively referred to as Sunoco.
The consolidated financial statements reflect the results of Sunoco Logistics Partners
L.P. and its wholly-owned partnerships, including Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P. (the
Operating Partnership). Equity ownership interests in corporate joint ventures, which are not
consolidated, are accounted for under the equity method.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance
with the requirements of Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for interim financial reporting. They do not include all disclosures normally made in
financial statements contained in Form 10-K. In managements opinion, all adjustments necessary for
a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods
shown have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year 2007.
2. Acquisitions
Mid-Valley Pipeline Acquisition
On August 18, 2006, the Partnership purchased from Sunoco a 100 percent interest in Sun Pipe
Line Company of Delaware LLC, the owner of a 55.3 percent equity interest (50 percent voting
rights) in Mid-Valley Pipeline Company (Mid-Valley) for approximately $65 million, subject to
certain adjustments five years following the date of closing, based on the throughput of Sunoco.
Mid-Valley owns a 994-mile pipeline, which originates in Longview, Texas and terminates in Samaria,
Michigan, and has operating capacity of approximately 238,000 bpd and 4.2 million shell barrels of
storage capacity. Mid-Valley provides crude oil to a number of refineries, primarily in the
Midwest United States. The Partnership is the operator of the Mid-Valley pipeline. The Partnership
receives a quarterly cash dividend from Mid-Valley that is proportionate with its ownership
interest. The purchase price of the acquisition was funded with $46.0 million in borrowings under
the Partnerships Credit Facility and with cash on hand. Since the acquisition was from a related
party, the interest in the entity was recorded by the Partnership at Sunocos historical cost of
approximately $12.5 million and the $52.5 million difference between the purchase price and the
cost basis of the assets was recorded by the Partnership as a capital distribution. The results of
the acquisition are included in the financial statements within the Western Pipeline System
business segment from the date of acquisition.
Millennium and Kilgore Pipeline Acquisition
On March 1, 2006, the Partnership purchased a Texas crude oil pipeline system from affiliates
of Black Hills Energy, Inc. for approximately $40.9 million. The system consists of (a) the
Millennium Pipeline, a 200-mile, 12-inch crude oil pipeline with approximately 65,000 bpd operating
capacity, originating near the Partnerships Nederland Terminal, and terminating at Longview Texas;
(b) the Kilgore Pipeline, a 190-mile, 10-inch crude oil pipeline with approximately 35,000 barrel
per day capacity originating in Kilgore, Texas and terminating at refineries in the Houston, Texas
region; (c) approximately 900,000 shell barrels of storage capacity at Kilgore, and Longview,
Texas, approximately 550,000 of which are inactive; (d) a crude oil sales and marketing business;
and (e) crude oil line fill and working inventory. The purchase price of the acquisition was
funded with borrowings under the Partnerships Credit Facility. The purchase price has been
allocated to the assets acquired based on their relative fair values at the acquisition date. The
following is a summary of the effects of the transaction on the Partnerships consolidated
financial position (in thousands of dollars):

The results of the acquisition are included in the financial statements within the
Western Pipeline System business segment from the date of acquisition.
Amdel and White Oil Pipeline Acquisition
On March 1, 2006, the Partnership acquired a Texas crude oil pipeline system from Alon USA
Energy, Inc. for approximately $68.0 million. The system consists of (a) the Amdel Pipeline, a
503-mile, 10-inch common carrier crude oil pipeline with approximately 27,000 bpd operating
capacity, originating at the Nederland Terminal, and terminating at Midland, Texas, and (b) the
White Oil Pipeline, a 25-mile, 10-inch crude oil pipeline with approximately 40,000 bpd operating
capacity, originating at the Amdel Pipeline and terminating at Alons Big Spring, Texas refinery.
The pipelines were idle at the time of purchase, were re-commissioned by the Partnership during the
second quarter 2006 and began making deliveries during the fourth quarter 2006. During the first
quarter of 2007, the Partnership completed a project to expand the capacity on the Amdel Pipeline
from approximately 27,000 to 40,000 bpd. Construction on new tankage at the Nederland Terminal to
service these new volumes more efficiently is expected to be completed during 2007. The purchase
price of the acquisition was funded with borrowings under the Partnerships Credit Facility, and
has been allocated to property, plants and equipment based on the relative fair value of the assets
acquired on the acquisition date. The results of the acquisition are included in the financial
statements within the Western Pipeline System business segment from the date of acquisition.
3. Related Party Transactions
Advances To and From Affiliates
The Partnership has a treasury services agreement with Sunoco pursuant to which it, among
other things, participates in Sunocos centralized cash management program. Under this program, all
of the Partnerships cash receipts and cash disbursements are processed, together with those of
Sunoco and its other subsidiaries, through Sunocos cash accounts with a corresponding credit or
charge to an intercompany account. The intercompany balances are settled periodically, but no less
frequently than monthly. Amounts due from Sunoco earn interest at a rate equal to the average rate
of the Partnerships third-party money market investments, while amounts due to Sunoco bear
interest at a rate equal to the interest rate provided in the Partnerships revolving credit
facility (see Note 6).
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of
income include costs incurred by Sunoco for the provision of certain centralized corporate
functions such as legal, accounting, treasury, engineering, information technology, insurance and
other corporate services, including the administration of employee benefit plans. These are
provided to the Partnership under an omnibus agreement (Omnibus Agreement) with Sunoco for an
annual administrative fee. The fee for the annual period ended December 31, 2006 was $7.7 million.
In January 2007, the parties extended the term of Section 4.1 of the Omnibus Agreement (which
concerns the Partnerships obligation to pay the annual fee for provision of certain general and
administrative services) by one year. The annual administrative fee applicable to this one-year
extension is $6.5 million, which reflects the Partnership directly incurring some of these general
and administrative costs. These costs may be increased if the acquisition or construction of new
assets or businesses requires an increase in the level of general and administrative services
received by the Partnership. There can be no assurance that Section 4.1 of the Omnibus Agreement
will be extended beyond 2007, or that, if extended, the administrative fee charged by Sunoco will
be at or below the current administrative fee. In the event that the Partnership is unable to
obtain such services from Sunoco or third parties at or below the current cost, the Partnerships
financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted.
The annual administrative fee does not include the costs of shared insurance programs,
which are allocated to the Partnership based upon its share of the cash premiums incurred. This fee
also does not include salaries of pipeline and terminal personnel or other employees of the general
partner, or the cost of their employee benefits. These employees are employees of the Partnerships
general partner or its affiliates, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sunoco. The Partnership
has no employees. Allocated Sunoco employee benefit plan expenses for employees who work in the
pipeline, terminalling, storage and crude oil gathering operations, including senior executives,
include non-contributory defined benefit retirement plans, defined contribution 401(k) plans,
employee and retiree medical, dental and life insurance plans, incentive
7
compensation plans, and
other such benefits. The Partnership is reimbursing Sunoco for these costs and other direct
expenses incurred on its behalf. These expenses are reflected in cost of products sold and operating
expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements
of income.
Accounts Receivable, Affiliated Companies
Affiliated revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of income consist of sales
of crude oil as well as the provision of crude oil and refined product pipeline transportation,
terminalling and storage services to Sunoco. Sales of crude oil are priced using market based
rates. Pipeline revenues are generally determined using posted tariffs. In 2002, the Partnership
entered into the pipelines and terminals storage and throughput agreement and various other
agreements with Sunoco under which the Partnership is charging Sunoco fees for services provided
under these agreements that, in managements opinion, are comparable to those charged in
arms-length, third-party transactions. During the first quarter of 2007, the agreement to
throughput at the Partnerships refined product terminals and to receive and deliver refined
product into the Partnerships Marcus Hook Tank Farm expired. During the second quarter of 2007,
the Partnership executed new agreements with Sunoco for five years to provide these services.
Under various other agreements, Sunoco is, among other things, purchasing from the
Partnership, at market-based rates, particular grades of crude oil that the Partnerships crude oil
acquisition and marketing business purchases for delivery to certain pipelines. These agreements
automatically renew on a monthly basis unless terminated by either party on 30 days written
notice. Sunoco also leases the Partnerships 58 miles of interrefinery pipelines between Sunocos
Philadelphia and Marcus Hook refineries for a term of 20 years.
Capital Contributions
The Partnership has agreements with Sunoco which requires Sunoco to, among other things,
reimburse the Partnership for certain expenditures. These agreements include:
|
|
|
the Interrefinery Lease Agreement, which requires Sunoco to reimburse the Partnership
for any non-routine maintenance expenditures incurred, as defined through February 2022;
and |
|
|
|
|
the Eagle Point purchase agreement, which requires Sunoco to reimburse the Partnership
for certain capital improvement projects incurred regarding the assets acquired, as
defined, up to $5.0 million through March 2014. The Partnership has received $2.5 million
to date under this agreement. |
During the first quarter 2007, the Partnership was reimbursed $0.7 million associated
with these agreements. There were no amounts reimbursed during the first quarter 2006. The
reimbursement of these amounts was recorded by the Partnership as capital contributions to
Partners Capital within the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2007.
In May 2006, the Partnership sold 2.4 million common units in a public offering. In June 2006,
the Partnership sold an additional 280,000 common units to cover over-allotments in connection with
the May 2006 sale (see Note 9). As a result of this issuance of 2.680 million common units, the
general partner contributed $2.4 million to the Partnership to maintain its 2.0 percent general
partner interest. The Partnership recorded this amount as a capital contribution to Partners
Capital within its condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In February 2007 and 2006, the Partnership issued 0.1 million common units in each
period to participants in the Sunoco Partners LLC Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) upon completion
of award vesting requirements. As a result of these issuances of common units, the general partner
contributed $0.1 million in each period to the Partnership to maintain its 2.0 percent general
partner interest. The Partnership recorded these amounts as capital contributions to Partners
Capital within its condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Asset Acquisition
On August 18, 2006, the Partnership purchased from Sunoco a 100 percent interest in Sun
Pipe Line Company of Delaware LLC, the owner of a 55.3 percent equity interest (50 percent voting
rights) in Mid-Valley Pipeline Company (Mid-Valley) for approximately $65 million, subject to
certain adjustments five years following the date of closing, based on throughput of Sunoco (see
Note 2). Since the acquisition was from a related party, the interest in the entity was recorded
by the Partnership at Sunocos historical cost of approximately $12.5 million, and the $52.5
million difference between the purchase price and the cost basis of the assets was recorded by the
Partnership as a capital distribution.
8
Conversion of Subordinated Units
A total of 11,383,639 subordinated limited partner units, equal to all of the originally
issued subordinated units held by the general partner, have been converted into common units on a
one-for-one basis, 2,845,910 each on February 15, 2005 and February 15, 2006 and 5,691,819 on
February 15, 2007 (see Note 10).
4. Net Income Per Unit Data
Basic and diluted net income per limited partner unit is calculated by dividing net
income, after deducting the amount allocated to the general partners interest, by the
weighted-average number of limited partner common and subordinated units outstanding during the
period.
The general partners interest in net income consists of its 2.0 percent general partner
interest and incentive distributions, which are increasing percentages, up to 50 percent of
quarterly distributions in excess of $0.50 per limited partner unit (see Note 10). The general
partner was allocated net income of $2.1 million (representing 9.3 percent of total net income for
the period) and $1.3 million (representing 7.3 percent of total net income for the period) for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Diluted net income per limited partner
unit is calculated by dividing net income applicable to limited partners by the sum of the
weighted-average number of common and subordinated units outstanding and the dilutive effect of
incentive unit awards, as calculated by the treasury stock method.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the weighted average number of
limited partner units used to compute basic net income per limited partner unit to those used to
compute diluted net income per limited partner unit for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
2006:

The Partnerships investments in Wolverine, West Shore, Yellowstone, and West Texas Gulf
at March 31, 2007 include an excess investment amount of approximately $54.8 million, net of
accumulated amortization of $2.8 million. The excess investment is the difference between the
investment balance and the Partnerships proportionate share of the net assets of the entities. The
excess investment was allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets. Other than land
and indefinite-lived intangible assets, all amounts allocated, principally to pipeline and related
assets, are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of 40 years
and included within depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of
income.

Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P. (the Operating Partnership), a wholly-owned
entity of the Partnership, has a $300 million Credit Facility available to fund the Operating
Partnerships working capital requirements, to finance future acquisitions and for general
partnership purposes. It may also be used to fund the quarterly distribution to a maximum of $20.0
million. Borrowing under this distribution sublimit must be reduced to zero each year for a 15-day
period. The Credit Facility matures in November 2010 and may be prepaid at any time. It bears
interest at the Operating Partnerships option, at either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or
(ii) the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent or the Citibank prime rate (each plus
the applicable margin). There were $116.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit
Facility at March 31, 2007. The Credit Facility contains various covenants limiting the Operating
Partnerships ability to incur indebtedness; grant certain liens; make certain loans, acquisitions
and investments; make any material change to the nature of its business; acquire another company;
or enter into a merger or sale of assets, including the sale or transfer of interests in the
Operating Partnerships subsidiaries. The Credit Facility also contains covenants (each as defined
in the credit agreement) requiring the Operating Partnership to maintain, on a rolling four-quarter
basis, a maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.75 to 1, which can generally be increased to 5.25
to 1 during an acquisition period; and an interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1. The
Operating Partnership is in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2007. The Partnerships
ratio of total debt to EBITDA was 3.2 to 1 and the interest coverage ratio was 4.8 to 1 at March
31, 2007.
On March 1, 2006, the Partnership completed its acquisition of two Texas crude oil
pipeline systems for approximately $108.9 million (see Note 2). The Partnership initially financed
these transactions with $109.5 million of borrowings under the Credit Facility. All of the $216.1
million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility were repaid in May 2006 with
10
proceeds
from the Senior Notes offering described below, together with a portion of the net proceeds from
the concurrent offering of 2.68 million limited partner common units (see Note 9).
During May 2006, the Operating Partnership issued $175 million of 6.125 percent Senior
Notes, due May 15, 2016 at 99.858 percent of the principal amount, for net proceeds of $173.3
million after the underwriters commission and legal, accounting and other transaction expenses.
The Senior Notes are redeemable, at a make-whole premium, and are not subject to sinking fund
provisions. The Senior Notes contain various covenants limiting the Operating Partnerships
ability to incur certain liens, engage in sale/leaseback transactions, or merge, consolidate or
sell substantially all of its assets. The Operating
Partnership is in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2007. The net proceeds from
the Senior Notes, together with the $110.3 million in net proceeds from the concurrent offering of
2.68 million limited partner common units, were used to repay all of the $216.1 million in
outstanding borrowings under the Partnerships Credit Facility. The balance of the proceeds from
the offerings are being used to fund the Partnerships organic growth program and for general
Partnership purposes, including to finance pending and future acquisitions.
On August 21, 2006, the Partnership purchased from Sunoco a 100 percent interest in Sun Pipe
Line Company of Delaware LLC, the owner of a 55.3 percent equity interest in Mid-Valley Pipeline
Company (Mid-Valley) for $65 million, subject to certain adjustments five years following the
date of closing (see Note 2). The purchase price of the acquisition was funded with $46.0 million
in borrowings under the Partnerships Credit Facility and with cash on hand.
The Partnership and the operating partnerships of the Operating Partnership serve as joint and
several guarantors of the Senior Notes and of any obligations under the Credit Facility. The
guarantees are full and unconditional. See Note 13 for supplemental condensed consolidating
financial information.
7. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Partnership is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws which regulate the
discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the
environment. These laws and regulations result in liabilities and loss contingencies for
remediation at the Partnerships facilities and at third-party or formerly owned sites. The accrued
liability for environmental remediation in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was $0.5
million as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. There are no liabilities attributable to
unasserted claims, nor have any recoveries from insurance been assumed.
Total future costs for environmental remediation activities will depend upon, among other
things, the identification of any additional sites, the determination of the extent of any
contamination at each site, the timing and nature of required remedial actions, the technology
available and needed to meet the various existing legal requirements, the nature and extent of
future environmental laws, inflation rates and the determination of the Partnerships liability at
multi-party sites, if any, in light of uncertainties with respect to joint and several liability,
and the number, participation levels and financial viability of other parties. As discussed below,
the Partnerships future costs will also be impacted by an indemnification from Sunoco.
Sunoco has indemnified the Partnership for 30 years from environmental and toxic tort
liabilities related to the assets contributed to the Partnership that arise from the operation of
such assets prior to the closing of the Partnerships initial public offering (IPO) on February
8, 2002. Sunoco has indemnified the Partnership for 100 percent of all such losses asserted within
the first 21 years of closing of the February 2002 IPO. Sunocos share of liability for claims
asserted thereafter will decrease by 10 percent a year. For example, for a claim asserted during
the twenty-third year after closing of the February 2002 IPO, Sunoco would be required to indemnify
the Partnership for 80 percent of its loss. There is no monetary cap on the amount of indemnity
coverage provided by Sunoco. The Partnership has agreed to indemnify Sunoco and its affiliates for
events and conditions associated with the operation of the Partnerships assets that occur on or
after the closing of the February 2002 IPO and for environmental and toxic tort liabilities to the
extent Sunoco is not required to indemnify the Partnership.
Sunoco has also indemnified the Partnership for liabilities, other than environmental and
toxic tort liabilities related to the assets contributed to the Partnership, that arise out of
Sunocos ownership and operation of the assets prior to the closing of the February 2002 IPO and
that are asserted within 10 years after closing of the February 2002 IPO. In addition, Sunoco has
indemnified the Partnership from liabilities relating to certain defects in title to the assets
contributed to the Partnership and associated with failure to obtain certain consents and permits
necessary to conduct its business that arise within 10 years after closing of the February 2002 IPO
as well as from liabilities relating to legal actions pending against Sunoco or its affiliates as
of February 2, 2002, or events and conditions associated with any assets retained by Sunoco or its
affiliates.
Management of the Partnership does not believe that any liabilities which may arise from
claims indemnified by Sunoco would be material in relation to the consolidated financial position
of the Partnership at March 31, 2007. There are certain other pending legal proceedings related to
matters arising after the February 2002 IPO which are not indemnified by
11
Sunoco. Management
believes that any liabilities that may arise from these legal proceedings will not be material in
relation to the consolidated financial position of the Partnership at March 31, 2007.
8. Management Incentive Plan
Sunoco Partners LLC, the general partner of the Partnership, has adopted the Sunoco Partners
LLC Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for employees and directors of the general partner who
perform services for the Partnership. The
LTIP is administered by the independent directors of the Compensation Committee of the general
partners board of directors with respect to employee awards, and by the non-independent members of
the general partners board of directors with respect to awards granted to the independent
directors. The LTIP currently permits the grant of restricted units and unit options covering an
aggregate of 1,250,000 common units. There have been no grants of unit options since the
inception of the LTIP. Restricted unit awards under the Partnerships LTIP generally vest upon
completion of a three-year service period. For performance-based awards, adjustments for attainment
of performance targets can range from 0200 percent of the award grant, and are payable in common
units. Restricted unit awards may also include tandem distribution equivalent rights (DERs) at
the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Subject to applicable vesting criteria, a DER
entitles the grantee to a cash payment equal to cash distributions paid on an outstanding common
unit during the period the restricted unit is outstanding. DERs are recognized as a reduction of
Partners Capital as they become vested.
As of March 31, 2007, there were approximately 0.2 million unvested restricted units
outstanding with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $45.05 per unit, and a contractual
life of three years. As of March 31, 2007, total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not
yet recognized was $2.3.million, and the weighted-average period over which this cost is expected
to be recognized in expense is 2.1 years. The number of restricted stock units outstanding and the
total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized reflect the Partnerships
estimates of performance factors pertaining to performance-based restricted unit awards.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), using the modified-prospective
method. SFAS No. 123R revised the accounting for stock-based compensation required by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123).
Among other things, SFAS No. 123R requires a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based
payment transactions, which is similar to the method followed by the Partnership under the
provisions of SFAS No. 123.
SFAS No. 123R also requires the use of a non-substantive vesting period approach for new
share-based payment awards that vest when an employee becomes retirement eligible, as is the case
under the Partnerships LTIP (i.e., the vesting period cannot exceed the date an employee becomes
retirement eligible). The effect will be to accelerate expense recognition compared to the vesting
period approach that the Partnership previously followed under SFAS No. 123. As a result of
adopting Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Partnerships net income is $1.4 million lower
for the three months ended March 31, 2007, than if it had continued to account for share-based
compensation under SFAS No. 123. Basic and diluted earnings per unit are $0.02 and $0.03,
respectively, lower for the three months ended March 31, 2007 than if the Partnership had continued
to account for share-based compensation under SFAS No. 123. The future impact of the
non-substantive vesting period will be dependent upon the value of future stock-based awards
granted to employees who are eligible to retire prior to the normal vesting periods of the awards.
The Partnership recognized share-based compensation expense related to the LTIP of
approximately $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2007 and $0.9 million for the first quarter
2006. During the first quarter of 2007, the Partnership issued 50,410 new common units (after
netting for taxes of approximately $1.5 million) and made DER-related payments of approximately
$0.6 million in connection with the vesting.
9. Equity Offerings
In May 2006, the Partnership sold 2.4 million common units in a public offering at a
price of $43.00 per unit. In June 2006, the Partnership sold an additional 280,000 common units to
cover over-allotments in connection with the May 2006 sale. The purchase price for the over
allotment was equal to the offering price in the May 2006 sale. The total sale of units resulted in
gross proceeds of $115.2 million, and net proceeds of $110.3 million, after the underwriters
commission and legal, accounting and other transaction expenses. Net proceeds of the offering,
together with the $173.3 million in net proceeds from the concurrent offering of Senior Notes (see
Note 6), were used to repay $216.1 million of the debt incurred under the revolving credit
facility, to fund the Partnerships 2006 organic growth program, and for general partnership
purposes. Also as a result of the issuance of these units, the general partner contributed $2.4
million to the Partnership to
12
maintain its 2.0 percent general partner interest. At March 31, 2007,
Sunocos ownership in the Partnership, including its 2.0 percent general partner interest, was 43.4
percent.
10. Cash Distributions
Within 45 days after the end of each quarter, the Partnership distributes all cash on
hand at the end of the quarter, less reserves established by the general partner in its discretion.
This is defined as available cash in the partnership agreement. The general partner has broad
discretion to establish cash reserves that it determines are necessary or appropriate to properly
conduct the Partnerships business. The Partnership will make quarterly distributions to the
extent there is sufficient cash from operations after establishment of cash reserves and payment of
fees and expenses, including payments to the general partner.
The Partnership issued 11,383,639 subordinated units to its general partner in connection
with the February 2002 IPO. The Partnership had 5,691,819 subordinated units outstanding as of
December 31, 2006, all of which were held by the general partner, and for which there is no
established public trading market. Any subordinated units that remain outstanding at the end of the
subordination period convert to common units on a one-for-one basis if the Partnership meets
certain required financial tests set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Upon conversion to common
units, the subordinated units will no longer be subordinated to the rights of the holders of common
units.
The Partnership has met the minimum quarterly distribution requirements on all outstanding
units for each of the four-quarter periods ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006. As a result, the
total of 11,383,639 subordinated units have been converted into common units on a one-for-one
basis, 2,845,910 each on February 15, 2005 and February 15, 2006 and 5,691,819 on February 15,
2007.
The Partnership will, in general, pay cash distributions each quarter in the following

If cash distributions exceed $0.50 per unit in a quarter, the general partner will
receive increasing percentages, up to 50 percent, of the cash distributed in excess of that amount.
These distributions are referred to as incentive distributions. The amounts shown in the table
under Percentage of Distributions are the percentage interests of the general partner and the
unitholders in any available cash from operating surplus that is distributed up to and including
the corresponding amount in the column Quarterly Cash Distribution Amount per Unit, until the
available cash that is distributed reaches the next target distribution level, if any. The
percentage interests shown for the unitholders and the general partner for the minimum quarterly
distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum
quarterly distribution.
Distributions paid by the Partnership for the period from January 1, 2006 through March

On April 23, 2007, Sunoco Partners LLC, the general partner of Sunoco Logistics Partners
L.P., declared a cash distribution of $0.825 per common partnership unit ($3.30 annualized),

11. Exit Costs Associated with Western Pipeline Headquarters Relocation
On June 10, 2005, the Partnership announced its intention to relocate its Western area
headquarters operations from Tulsa, Oklahoma to the Houston, Texas area. The Partnership offered to
relocate all affected employees. The Partnership substantially completed the relocation during the
first quarter 2006.
The total non-recurring expenses incurred in connection with the relocation plan amounted
to $5.0 million, including $2.9 million recognized during the first quarter 2006. These costs
consist primarily of employee relocation costs, one-time termination benefits and new hire
expenses. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the
condensed statement of income, and are included in the operating results for the Western
Pipeline System segment. In addition, the total capital expenditures associated with the move
amounted to $5.5 million, including $2.8 million in the first quarter 2006. These capital
expenditures include furniture and equipment, communication infrastructure and a pipeline control
center. The Partnership has not incurred any material costs related to the move since the first
quarter of 2006, and does not expect the remaining costs related to the relocation to be material.

Analysis of Consolidated Net Income
Net income was $22.3 million for the first quarter 2007 as compared with $18.4 million
for the first quarter 2006, an increase of $3.9 million. This increase was due mainly to an
increase in revenues at the Partnerships Nederland Terminal, operating results from the
acquisitions completed in 2006 in the Western Pipeline System, increased revenues at the
Partnerships refined product terminals associated with ethanol blending and product additives and
increased other income associated with the August 2006 acquisition of a 55.3 percent equity
interest in the Mid-Valley Pipeline Company. These increases were partially offset by lower lease
acquisition margins, higher interest expense related to financing the acquisitions completed in
2006 and the Partnerships organic growth capital program and increased selling, general and
administrative expenses related to the acceleration of compensation expense associated with the
Partnerships long term incentive plan in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
Net interest expense increased $2.4 million to $8.6 million for the first quarter 2007 from
$6.2 million for the prior years quarter due to increased borrowings related to financing the
acquisitions completed in 2006, and funding the Partnerships organic growth capital program and
contango inventory positions.
23
Analysis of Segment Operating Income
Eastern Pipeline System
Operating income for the Eastern Pipeline System decreased $0.2 million to $9.7 million
for the first quarter 2007 from $9.9 million for the first quarter 2006. This decrease was
primarily the result of a $2.5 million increase in total expenses partially offset by a $2.3
million increase in total revenues. Sales and other operating revenue increased from $25.3 million
for the prior years quarter to $27.0 million for the first quarter 2007 mainly due to an increase
in total shipments. The increase in shipments was due to higher throughput on the Marysville,
Michigan to Toledo, Ohio crude oil pipeline resulting from the completion of a project to expand
the capacity of the pipeline, which was completed during the fourth quarter 2006. Additionally,
refined product shipments increased compared to the prior years quarter despite decreased volumes
on certain pipeline segments which support a refinery which completed a maintenance turnaround
during the quarter. Other income increased $0.6 million compared to the prior years quarter due
primarily to an increase in equity income associated with the Partnerships joint venture
interests. Operating expenses increased to $12.0 million in the first quarter 2007 from $10.6
million in the first quarter 2006 due mainly to increased utility costs along with increased
employee and maintenance costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $4.1
million during the first quarter 2006 to $5.6 million in the first quarter 2007 due mainly to
decreased capitalization of certain engineering employee costs associated with the Partnerships
organic growth capital program along with the acceleration of compensation expense noted above.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.4 million in the first quarter 2007 to $2.3
million as certain assets reached the end of their depreciation life during the third quarter 2006.
Terminal Facilities
The Terminal Facilities business segment had operating income of $12.3 million for the
first quarter 2007, as compared to $9.4 million for the prior years first quarter. Total revenues
increased $3.8 million from the prior years first quarter to $32.9 million for the first quarter
2007 due primarily to increased revenues at the Partnerships Nederland Terminal, increased
revenues associated with the addition of ethanol blending at the Partnerships refined product
terminals starting in May 2006, additional product additive revenues, and increased volumes at
the refined product terminals. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the
Partnerships refinery terminals volumes compared to the prior year period which resulted from a
maintenance turnaround at a refinery supported by the terminals. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $1.0 million from the prior years first quarter to $4.5 million
for the first quarter 2007 due principally to the acceleration of compensation expenses noted
above.
Western Pipeline System
Operating income for the Western Pipeline System increased $3.6 million to $9.0 million
for the first quarter 2007 from $5.4 million for the first quarter 2006. The increase was
primarily the result of higher crude oil pipeline volumes associated with the March 2006
acquisitions of the Millennium and Kilgore crude oil pipelines and the Amdel pipelines along with
an increase in other income of $2.1 million related primarily to the acquisition of a 55.3 percent
equity interest in the Mid-Valley Pipeline Company in August 2006. The increases were partially
offset by lower lease acquisition margins. Total revenues and cost of products sold and operating
expenses increased compared with the prior years quarter due principally to an increase in lease
acquisition volumes associated with contango inventory positions and increased bulk purchase and
sale activity partially offset by a decrease in crude prices. The average price of West Texas
Intermediate crude oil at Cushing, Oklahoma, decreased to $58.23 per barrel for the first quarter
2007 from $63.53 per barrel for the first quarter 2006. Operating expenses were higher also as a
result of increased costs associated with operating the 2006 acquired assets. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased $2.0 million for the first quarter 2007 when compared to the
prior years quarter due primarily to the absence of costs associated with the Western Area office
relocation which was completed during the first quarter 2006, partially offset by the acceleration
of compensation expenses noted above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility are the
Partnerships primary sources of liquidity. At March 31, 2007, the Partnership had net working
capital of $21.7 million and available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of $184.0
million. The Partnerships working capital position also reflects crude oil inventories based on
historical costs under the LIFO method of accounting. If the inventories had been valued at their
current replacement cost, the Partnership would have had working capital of $131.8 million at March
31, 2007.
24
Capital Resources
The Partnership periodically supplements its cash flows from operations with proceeds from
debt and equity financing activities.
Credit Facility
Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership (the
Operating Partnership), has a $300 million Credit Facility available to fund working capital
requirements, to finance future acquisitions, and for general partnership purposes. The Credit
Facility matures in November 2010. It also includes a $20.0 million distribution sublimit that is
available for distributions, and may be used to fund the quarterly distributions, provided the
total outstanding borrowings for distributions do not at any time exceed $20.0 million. The
Partnership will be required to reduce to zero all borrowings under the distribution sublimit under
the Credit Facility each year for 15 days.
During the first quarter 2007, $48.0 million was drawn against the Credit Facility to fund the
Partnerships organic growth capital program and contango inventory positions. As of March 31,
2007, there was $184.0 million available under the Credit Facility to fund the Partnerships
organic growth capital program, and for general Partnership purposes, including to finance pending
and future acquisitions.
Senior Notes
During May 2006, the Operating Partnership issued $175 million of 6.125 percent Senior Notes,
due May 15, 2016 at 99.858 percent of the principal amount, for net proceeds of $173.3 million
after the underwriters commission and legal, accounting and other transaction expenses. The
Senior Notes are redeemable, at a make-whole premium, and are not subject to sinking fund
provisions. The Senior Notes contain various covenants limiting the Operating Partnerships ability
to incur certain liens, engage in sale/leaseback transactions, or merge, consolidate or sell
substantially all of its assets. The Operating Partnership is in compliance with these covenants as
of March 31, 2007. The net proceeds from the Senior Notes,
together with the $110.4 million in net
proceeds from the concurrent offering of 2.68 million limited partner common units, were used to
repay the $216.1 million in outstanding borrowings under the Partnerships Credit Facility The
balance of the proceeds from the offerings were used to fund the Partnerships organic growth
capital program and for general Partnership purposes.
Equity Offerings
In May 2006, the Partnership sold 2.4 million common units in a public offering. In June 2006,
the Partnership sold an additional 280,000 common units to cover over-allotments in connection with
the May 2006 sale. The total sale of units resulted in gross proceeds of $115.2 million, and net
proceeds of $110.3 million, after the underwriters commission and legal, accounting and other
transaction expenses. Net proceeds of the offering were used to repay a portion of the $216.1
million of the debt incurred under the revolving Credit Facility. As a result of this issuance of
2.68 million common units, the general partner contributed $2.4 million to the Partnership to
maintain its 2.0 percent general partner interest. The Partnership recorded this amount as a
capital contribution to Partners Capital within its condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Shelf Registration Statement
On April 7, 2006, the Partnership, the Operating Partnership, and the Operating
Partnerships wholly-owned subsidiaries, as co-registrants, filed a shelf registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This shelf registration permits the periodic offering
and sale of up to $500 million of equity securities by the Partnership or debt securities of the
Operating Partnership (guaranteed by the Partnership). At March 31, 2007, $209.8 million remains
available for issuance under the shelf registration statement. The shelf registration also covers
the resale of up to five million common units by the Partnerships general partner. The amount,
type and timing of any offerings will depend upon, among other things, the funding requirements of
the Partnership, prevailing market conditions, and compliance with covenants in applicable debt
obligations of the Operating Partnership (including the Credit Facility).
Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $25.6
million compared with $38.8 million net cash provided by operating activities for the first three
months of 2006. Net cash used in operating activities for the first three months of 2007 was
primarily the result of a $64.0 million increase in working capital offset by net income of $22.3
million and depreciation and amortization of $8.9 million. The
working capital increase is primarily attributable to revenue growth
along with increased inventory volumes associated with contango
inventory positions.
25
Net cash provided by
operating activities for the first three months of 2006 was principally generated by net income of
$18.4 million, depreciation and amortization of $8.9 million, and a $14.0 million decrease in
working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months of 2007 was $17.9 million
compared with $127.7 million for the first three months of 2006. The decrease between periods is
due primarily to the acquisitions of the Millennium and Kilgore crude oil pipelines and the Amdel
crude oil pipeline in March 2006.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the first three months of 2007 was $34.1
million compared with $72.2 million for the first three months of 2006. Net cash provided by
financing activities for the first three months of 2007 was the result of $48.0 million in
increased borrowings under the Partnerships Credit Facility to fund the Partnerships organic
growth capital program and contango inventory positions, and $15.1 million in advances from
affiliate. This increase was partially offset by $28.3 million in distributions paid to limited
partners and the general partner and $1.5 million payment of statutory withholdings on the net
issuance of limited partner units under the restricted unit incentive plan. Net cash provided by
financing activities for the first three months of 2006 was the result of $109.5 million of
borrowings drawn against the Partnerships Credit Facility to fund the acquisitions of the
Millennium and Kilgore pipeline system and the Amdel and White Oil pipeline system on March 1,
2006. This increase was partially offset by $20.4 million in distributions paid to limited
partners and the general partner, and a $15.6 million increase in advances to affiliates.
Under a treasury services agreement with Sunoco, the Partnership participates in Sunocos
centralized cash management program. Advances from affiliates in the Partnerships condensed
consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2007 represent amounts due to Sunoco under this agreement.
Advances to affiliates at December 31, 2006 represent amounts due from Sunoco under this agreement.
Capital Requirements
The pipeline, terminalling, and crude oil transport operations are capital intensive,
requiring significant investment to maintain, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet
environmental and operational regulations. The capital requirements have consisted, and are
expected to continue to consist, primarily of:
|
|
|
Maintenance capital expenditures, such as those required to maintain equipment
reliability, tankage and pipeline integrity and safety, and to address environmental
regulations; and |
|
|
|
|
Expansion capital expenditures to acquire assets to grow the business and to expand
existing and construct new facilities, such as projects that increase storage or
throughput volume. |
The following table summarizes maintenance and expansion capital expenditures, including
net cash paid for acquisitions, for the periods presented (in thousands of dollars):

Maintenance capital expenditures decreased $3.8 million to $2.6 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2007 from the first three months of 2006 due mainly to the absence of capital
expenditures associated with the Western area office relocation completed during the first quarter
2006. Management anticipates maintenance capital expenditures to be approximately $25.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 2007, excluding reimbursements from Sunoco in accordance with the
terms of certain agreements. Maintenance capital expenditures for both periods presented include
recurring expenditures such as pipeline integrity costs, pipeline relocations, repair and upgrade
of field instrumentation, including measurement devices, repair and replacement of tank floors and
roofs, upgrades of cathodic protection systems, crude trucks and related equipment, and the upgrade
of pump stations.
Expansion capital expenditures decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2007 when
compared to the first three months of 2006 due primarily to the March 2006 acquisitions of the
Millennium and Kilgore pipelines and the Amdel pipeline for $108.9 million. Excluding these
acquisitions, expansion capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by
$7.2 million due to the continued construction at Nederland of six new crude oil storage tanks with
a total capacity of approximately 3.6 million shell barrels and pipeline connections within the
Western Pipeline System. In
26
addition, the Partnership began the previously announced project to construct three additional
crude oil storage tanks, with a combined capacity of 2.0 millions shell barrels, and a 12-mile 30
crude oil pipeline from the Nederland Terminal to Motivas Port Arthur, Texas refinery.
The Partnership expects to fund capital expenditures, including pending and future
acquisitions, from both cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, from the proceeds
of borrowings under the Credit Facility, other borrowings and the issuance of additional common
units.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Partnership is exposed to various market risks, including volatility in crude oil
commodity prices and interest rates. To manage such exposures, inventory levels and expectations of
future commodity prices and interest rates are monitored when making decisions with respect to risk
management. The Partnership has not entered into any derivative transactions.
The $300 million Credit Facility generally exposes the Partnership to interest rate risk
since it bears interest at a variable rate of 5.67 percent at March 31, 2007. A one percent change
in interest rates changes annual interest expense by approximately $1.2 million based on
outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $116.0 million at March 31, 2007.
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains
forward-looking statements, as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933
and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and information relating to the Partnership that is based on
the beliefs of its management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to
management.
Forward-looking statements discuss expected future results based on current and pending
business operations, and may be identified by words such as anticipates, believes, expects,
planned, scheduled or similar expressions. Although management of the Partnership believes
these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are based upon a number of assumptions, any
or all of which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Statements made regarding future results are
subject to numerous assumptions, uncertainties and risks that may cause future results to be
materially different from the results stated or implied in this document.
The following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from any results projected, forecasted, estimated or budgeted:
|
|
|
Our ability to successfully consummate announced acquisitions or expansions and
integrate them into our existing business operations; |
|
|
|
|
Delays related to construction of, or work on, new or existing facilities and the
issuance of applicable permits; |
|
|
|
|

gas liquids that impact demand for the Partnerships pipeline, terminalling and storage
services; |
|
|
|
|
Changes in the demand for crude oil we both buy and sell; |
|
|
|
|
The loss of Sunoco as a customer or a significant reduction in its current level of
throughput and storage with the Partnership; |
|
|
|
|
An increase in the competition encountered by the Partnerships petroleum products
terminals, pipelines and crude oil acquisition and marketing operations; |
|
|
|
|
Changes in the financial condition or operating results of joint ventures or other
holdings in which the Partnership has an equity ownership interest; |
|
|

that result in changes in throughput volumes, pipeline tariffs and/or terminalling and
storage fees; |
|
|
|
|
Improvements in energy efficiency and technology resulting in reduced demand for petroleum products; |
27
|
|
|
The Partnerships ability to manage growth and/or control costs; |
|
|
|
|
The effect of changes in accounting principles and tax laws and interpretations of both; |
|
|
|
|
Global and domestic economic repercussions, including disruptions in the crude oil and
petroleum products markets, from terrorist activities, international hostilities and other
events, and the governments response thereto; |
|
|
|
|
Changes in the level of operating expenses and hazards related to operating facilities
(including equipment malfunction, explosions, fires, spills and the effects of severe
weather conditions); |
|
|
|
|
The occurrence of operational hazards or unforeseen interruptions for which the
Partnership may not be adequately insured; |
|
|
|
|
The age of, and changes in the reliability and efficiency of the Partnerships operating facilities; |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

and types of coverage available; |
|
|
|
|
Risks related to labor relations and workplace safety; |
|
|
|
|
Non-performance by or disputes with major customers, suppliers or other business partners; |
|
|
|
|
Changes in the Partnerships tariff rates implemented by federal and/or state government regulators; |
|
|
|
|
The amount of the Partnerships indebtedness, which could make the Partnership
vulnerable to adverse general economic and industry conditions, limit the Partnerships
ability to borrow additional funds, place it at competitive disadvantages compared to
competitors that have less debt, or have other adverse consequences; |
|
|
|
|
Restrictive covenants in the Partnerships or Sunoco, Inc.s credit agreements; |
|
|
|
|
Changes in the Partnerships or Sunoco, Inc.s credit ratings, as assigned by ratings agencies; |
|
|
|
|
The condition of the debt capital markets and equity capital markets in the United
States, and the Partnerships ability to raise capital in a cost-effective way; |
|
|
|
|
Changes in interest rates on the Partnerships outstanding debt, which could increase the costs of borrowing; |
|
|
|
|
Claims of the Partnerships non-compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements; and |
|
|
|
|
The costs and effects of legal and administrative claims and proceedings against the
Partnership or any entity in which it has an ownership interest, and changes in the status
of, or the initiation of new litigation, claims or proceedings, to which the Partnership,
or any entity in which it has an ownership interest, is a party. |
These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in any of the Partnerships forward-looking
statements. Other factors could also have material adverse effects on future results. The
Partnership undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement whether as a
result of new information or future events.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) As of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, the Partnership carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the management of Sunoco
Partners LLC, the Partnerships general partner (including the President and Chief Executive
Officer of Sunoco Partners LLC), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon
that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Sunoco Partners LLC concluded that
the Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b) No change in the Partnerships internal controls over financial reporting has
occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or that is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnerships internal control over financial
reporting.
28
(c) Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in the Partnership reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the
Partnership reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including
the President and Chief Executive Officer of Sunoco Partners LLC as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
There are certain legal and administrative proceedings arising prior to the February 2002
IPO pending against the Partnerships Sunoco-affiliated predecessors and the Partnership (as
successor to certain liabilities of those predecessors). Although the ultimate outcome of these
proceedings cannot be ascertained at this time, it is reasonably possible that some of them may be
resolved unfavorably. Sunoco has agreed to indemnify the Partnership for 100 percent of all losses
from environmental liabilities related to the transferred assets arising prior to, and asserted
within 21 years of February 8, 2002. There is no monetary cap on this indemnification from Sunoco.
Sunocos share of liability for claims asserted thereafter will decrease by 10 percent each year
through the thirtieth year following the February 8, 2002 date. Any remediation liabilities not
covered by this indemnity will be the Partnerships responsibility.
There are certain other pending legal proceedings related to matters arising after the
February 2002 IPO that are not indemnified by Sunoco. Management believes that any liabilities that
may arise from these legal proceedings will not be material to the Partnerships financial position
at March 31, 2007.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors described previously in Part I, Item
1A of the Partnerships Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed on
