−Removed: In such circumstances, we are required to determine the fair value of the investment and compare it to the carrying value.
−Removed: When the fair value is less than carrying value and when such condition is deemed to be other than temporary, the carrying value of the investment is considered to be impaired and is adjusted to its fair value, and the amount of the impairment is included in net income.
−Removed: In making the determination as to whether a decline is other than temporary, the Partnership considers such factors as the duration and extent of the decline, the investee’s financial performance, and our ability and intention to retain the investment for a period that will be sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the investment’s market value.
−Removed: The new cost basis of the investment is not changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value.
−Removed: During the second quarter ended June 30, 2021, we identified the non-renewal of a significant revenue contract which expired on August 31, 2021 by a customer and major shareholder of Andeavor Logistics RIO Pipeline LLC ("Andeavor Logistics") and lower competitor tariff rates compared to FERC approved tariff rates as triggering events requiring that we perform an impairment assessment on our equity method investment.
−Removed: The fair value of our equity method investment was estimated using the income approach and the market approach.
−Removed: The income approach utilizes a discounted cash flow model incorporating management’s expectations of the investee’s future revenue (including the throughput barrel per day sold and related reduced tariff rates), operating expenses and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures and an anticipated tax rate (“EBITDA”) and the estimated long term growth rate.
−Removed: The related cash flow forecasts are discounted using an estimated weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) at the date of valuation.
−Removed: For the market approach, we utilized the estimated 2022 EBITDA multiples for guideline comparable companies applied to Andeavor Logistics' estimated 2022 EBITDA to estimate the fair value.
−Removed: We performed certain analyses on the most significant inputs in our valuation model to evaluate the impact of the judgments made on the fair value of the investee.
−Removed: This included sensitivity analysis and stress testing on certain of our inputs to our valuation model, including the estimated revenue (including the throughput barrel per day and tariff rates), EBITDA margin and WACC.
−Removed: Based on our analyses, we determined that there was no other than temporary impairment on our equity method investment as of June 30, 2021.
−Removed: As of September 30, 2021 we performed a qualitative assessment evaluating whether there were any significant changes in the key assumptions and other significant inputs in our valuation model and concluded that there were no significant changes that would warrant a quantitative assessment to be performed.
−Removed: Qualitative matters that may impact our estimates of the fair value of our equity method investment include assumptions regarding the timing of another throughput contract and ramp up of throughput volumes, timing of competitor tariff rates recovery compared to FERC tariff rates, the pipeline location and resultant impact on possible customers capacity utilization, the Delaware Permian Basin takeaway and production levels, regulatory impacts, competitors entering the location by building competing pipelines, and other operational issues which might affect Andeavor Logistics’ ability to scale up throughput capacity.
−Removed: The Partnership bases its assumptions on projected financial information that the Partnership believes is reasonable, but those assumptions require judgment and are forward looking in nature.
−Removed: However, actual results may differ materially from those projections.
−Removed: If actual results were subsequently materially lower than expected, if significant adverse changes were to occur in its operating environment, if a significant increase in the discount rate were to be needed, and/or if changes in other assumptions were to happen, the Partnership’s estimate of the fair value of its equity investment could change materially.
−Removed: Management's Discussion and Analysis
+Added: The SEC has defined critical accounting estimates as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, complex or subjective judgments or estimates.
+Added: Based on this definition and as further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe our critical accounting estimates include estimates related to equity method investments impairment assessment.
