−Removed: Description of the Matter As described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Partnership engages, in the ordinary course of business, in related party transactions with Delek US Holdings, Inc.
−Removed: and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively “Delek Holdings”).
−Removed: Auditing the completeness of the related party transactions, and the corresponding presentation and disclosure, was challenging due to Delek Holdings’ involvement in many aspects of the Partnership’s business, including the revenue earned by the Partnership from providing gathering, transportation, storage, marketing and terminalling services under various commercial agreements with Delek Holdings.
−Removed: Additionally, the Partnership and Delek Holdings have entered into other agreements which govern the provision of certain operational services, reimbursement obligations and fees charged for the provision of centralized corporate services.
−Removed: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls that address the risks of material misstatement related to the Partnership’s process of identifying and disclosing related party transactions, including controls to verify the completeness of related party transactions and disclosures.
−Removed: To test the completeness of related party transactions, we obtained a listing of all related party relationships and compared the listing to the Delek Holdings’ legal structure and evidence obtained from other audit procedures including, among others, inquiries of management and the audit committee, review of the board of directors and other committee meeting minutes, review of contracts, and testing of revenue and expense transactions.

+Added: Impairment review of equity method investments
+Added: Description of the Matter As discussed in Notes 2 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Partnership has investments in nonconsolidated entities accounted for using the equity method totaling $250 million as of December 31, 2021, which included an equity method investment in Andeavor Logistics of $44.3 million.
+Added: The carrying value of each equity method investment is evaluated for impairment when indicators of a loss in value below the carrying value exist, which may include the loss of a key contract, lack of sustained earnings or a deterioration of market conditions, among others.
+Added: When indicators of impairment are identified, the Partnership estimates the fair value of the equity method investment.
+Added: The estimated fair value of the investment is determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis based upon projected financial information and a market approach.
+Added: When the estimated fair value is lower than the carrying value, the Partnership considers whether that impairment is other-than-temporary.
+Added: Auditing the Partnership’s impairment assessment for Andeavor Logistics was complex and required significant judgment, as the valuation included subjective estimates and assumptions in determining the estimated fair value of the investment.
+Added: In particular, the discounted cash flow analysis is sensitive to significant assumptions such as the weighted average cost of capital and the estimate of future cash flows including the related revenue and EBITDA projections.
+Added: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Partnership’s equity method impairment review process, including controls over the identification of factors that may indicate an equity method investment is impaired, and as necessary, the subsequent determination of fair value.
+Added: In order to test whether an impairment was indicated, we tested the Partnership’s evaluation of the Andeavor Logistics’ earnings history and sustainability under current and expected market conditions.
+Added: To test the estimated fair value of Andeavor Logistics, our audit procedures included, among others, assessing valuation methodologies, performing recalculations, and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Partnership.
+Added: We compared the significant assumptions in the prospective financial data used by management to current industry and economic trends, historical performance, and other relevant factors.
+Added: We performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the change in the fair value of the investment resulting from changes in the significant assumptions.
+Added: We also involved our valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the fair value methodologies, testing the weighted average cost of capital used and assessing the market multiples used to calculate the fair value estimate.
