Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner have concluded that as of March 31, 2022, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The management of our Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”) and subsidiaries is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13(a)-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our general partner, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO framework. Based on our evaluation under the COSO framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2022. Our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022 has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears below in this section of the Annual Report. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. 90 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors of NGL Energy Holdings LLC and Unitholders of NGL Energy Partners LP Opinion on internal control over financial reporting We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of NGL Energy Partners LP (a Delaware limited partnership) and subsidiaries (the “Partnership”) as of March 31, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership as of and for the year ended March 31, 2022, and our report dated June 6, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. Basis for opinion The Partnership’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP Tulsa, Oklahoma June 6, 2022 91 Item 9B.

In addition, we are not required to have a nominating and corporate governance committee. In evaluating director candidates, the NGL Energy GP Investor Group assesses whether a candidate possesses the integrity, judgment, knowledge, experience, skill and expertise that are likely to enhance the ability of the board of directors of our general partner to manage and direct our affairs and business, including, when applicable, to enhance the ability of committees of the board to fulfill their duties. Our general partner has no minimum qualifications for director candidates.

Executive Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis The year “2022” in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the summary compensation table refers to our fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. Introduction The board of directors of our general partner has responsibility and authority for compensation-related decisions for our executive officers. The board of directors has formed a compensation committee to develop our compensation program and to approve the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other officers. Our executive officers are also officers of our operating companies. While we reimburse our general partner and its affiliates for all expenses they incur on our behalf, our executive officers do not receive any additional compensation for the services they provide to our general partner. Our “named executive officers” for fiscal year 2022 were: • H. Michael Krimbill–Chief Executive Officer • Linda J. Bridges–Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (effective September 30, 2021) • Lawrence J. Thuillier–Chief Accounting Officer • Kurston P. McMurray–Executive Vice President and General Counsel and Secretary • John A. Ciolek–Executive Vice President, Strategic Initiatives • Robert W. Karlovich III–Former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (resigned effective September 30, 2021) Compensation Philosophy Our compensation philosophy emphasizes pay-for-performance, focused primarily on the ability to increase sustainable quarterly distributions to our unitholders. Pay-for-performance is based on a combination of our performance and the individual executive officer’s contribution to our performance. We believe this pay-for-performance approach generally aligns the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our unitholders, and at the same time enables us to maintain a lower level of cash compensation expense in the event our operating and financial performance do not meet our expectations. Our executive compensation program is designed to provide a total compensation package that allows us to: • Attract and retain individuals with the background and skills necessary to successfully execute our business strategies; • Motivate those individuals to reach short-term and long-term goals in a way that aligns their interests with the interests of our unitholders; and • Reward success in reaching those goals. 97 Factors Enhancing Alignment with Unitholder Interests • At risk incentive compensation based on annual financial performance and growth in unitholder value; • No excise tax gross-ups; and • Compensation committee engages an independent compensation adviser. Compensation Setting Process Our compensation program for our named executive officers supports our philosophy of pay-for-performance. • Role of Management: Our Chief Executive Officer provides periodic recommendations to the compensation committee and the board of directors regarding the compensation of our named executive officers, other than his own. • Role of the Compensation Committee’s Consultant: In carrying out its responsibilities for establishing, implementing and monitoring the effectiveness of our executive compensation philosophy, plans and programs, our compensation committee has the authority to engage outside experts to assist in its deliberations. In March 2021, the compensation committee received compensation advice and data from Pearl Meyer & Partners (“PM&P”). PM&P provided advice and guidance regarding the principal components of compensation for our directors and market salary information for certain executive and senior vice president positions. The compensation committee reviewed the services provided by PM&P and determined that they are independent in providing executive compensation consulting services. In making this determination, the compensation committee noted the following: ◦ PM&P did not provide any services to the Partnership or management other than compensation consulting services requested by or with the approval of the compensation committee; ◦ PM&P does not provide, directly or indirectly through affiliates, any non-compensation services such as pension consulting or human resource outsourcing; ◦ PM&P maintains a conflicts policy, which was provided to the compensation committee with specific policies and procedures designed to ensure independence; ◦ Fees paid to PM&P by the Partnership for the services provided in March 2021 were less than 1% of PM&P’s total revenue; ◦ None of the PM&P consultants working on Partnership matters had any business or personal relationship with compensation committee members; ◦ None of the PM&P consultants working on Partnership matters (or any consultants at PM&P) had any business or personal relationship with any executive officer of the Partnership; and ◦ None of the PM&P consultants working on Partnership matters own Partnership interests. The compensation committee continues to monitor the independence of its compensation consultant on a periodic basis. 98 Elements of Executive Compensation As part of our pay-for-performance approach to executive compensation, the compensation of our executive officers includes a significant component of incentive compensation based on our performance. The following table summarizes the primary elements of compensation in our executive compensation program: Objective Supported Element Primary Purpose How Amount Determined Attract & Retain Motivate & Pay-for- Performance Unitholder Alignment Base Salary Fixed income to compensate executive officers for their level of responsibility, expertise and experience Based on competition in the marketplace for executive talent and abilities X Discretionary Cash Bonus Awards Rewards achievement of specific annual financial and operational performance goals Based on the named executive officer’s relative contribution to the ongoing business of the Partnership X X X Recognizes individual contributions to our performance Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards Motivates and rewards the achievement of long-term performance goals, including increasing the market price of our common units and the quarterly distributions to our unitholders Based on the named executive officer’s expected contribution to long-term performance goals X X X Provides a forfeitable long-term incentive to encourage executive retention Base Salary The compensation committee periodically reviews the base salaries of our named executive officers and may recommend adjustments as necessary.

Neither Mr. Krimbill nor Mr. Karlovich received a cash bonus during fiscal year 2022. Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards The Partnership previously adopted a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), which allowed for the issuance of equity-based compensation. The LTIP expired with respect to future awards on May 10, 2021. Prior to expiring, on May 5, 2021, the compensation committee of our board of directors granted certain restricted units to the named executive officers, which vest in tranches, subject to the continued service of the recipients through the vesting date (the “Service Awards”). See “ 2022 Grants of Plan Based Awards ” for details about the number of restricted Service Award units granted in fiscal year 2022 and the relevant vesting terms. The following table summarizes Service Award units activity for all outstanding Service Award grants during fiscal year 2022 with respect to the named executive officers: Unvested Units at Unvested Units at Name March 31, 2021 Units Granted Units Vested Units Forfeited March 31, 2022 H.

He forfeited all outstanding Service Awards upon his resignation from employment on September 30, 2021. The following table summarizes the vesting dates of unvested Service Award units at March 31, 2022: Units by Vesting Date Unvested Units at Name November 14, 2022 February 13, 2023 November 15, 2023 March 31, 2022 H.

Ciolek 37,500 37,500 37,500 112,500 Severance and Change in Control Benefits We do not provide any severance or change of control benefits to our named executive officers, other than to Mr. McMurray, who is entitled to receive severance benefits pursuant to his employment agreement in the event of certain terminations of his employment (as described below after the “Summary Compensation Table” under the heading, “Employment Agreement with Mr. McMurray”). The board of directors has the option to accelerate the vesting of the Service Awards in the event of a change in control of the Partnership, although it is not under any obligation to do so. If the board of directors were to exercise its discretion to accelerate the vesting of Service Awards upon a change in control, that hypothetically occurred on March 31, 2022, the value of such units would be the same as reported in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at March 31, 2022” table below (in the “Market Value of Service Award Units that Have Not Yet Vested” column). 100 401(k) Plan We have established a defined contribution 401(k) plan to assist our eligible employees in saving for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. The 401(k) plan permits all eligible employees, including our named executive officers, to make voluntary pre-tax contributions to the plan, subject to applicable tax limitations. For every dollar that employees contribute up to 4% of their eligible compensation (as defined in the plan), we contribute one dollar, plus 50 cents for every dollar employees contribute between 4% and 6% of their eligible compensation (as defined in the plan). Our matching contributions vest over an employee’s first two years of employment, subject to a participant’s continued service. Other Benefits We do not maintain a defined benefit or pension plan for our executive officers, because we believe such plans primarily reward longevity rather than performance. We offer a benefits package available to substantially all full-time employees, which includes a 401(k) plan and medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance. Other Officers Certain officers who have leadership roles within our individual business segments, but who are not executive officers, participate in formulaic bonus programs that are based on the performance of the individual business segments with which they are involved. In most cases, similar programs were in place prior to our acquisition of the businesses, and we have left the programs substantially intact. Employment Agreements We do not have employment agreements with any of our named executive officers, other than Mr. McMurray (as described below after the “Summary Compensation Table” under the heading, “Employment Agreement with Mr. McMurray”). Deductibility of Compensation We believe that the compensation paid to the named executive officers is generally fully deductible for federal income tax purposes. We are a limited partnership and do not meet the definition of a “corporation” subject to deduction limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Compensation Committee Report The compensation committee of the board of directors of our general partner has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth above with management. Based on this review and discussion, the compensation committee recommended to the board of directors of our general partner that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report. Members of the Compensation Committee: Stephen L. Cropper (Chairman) James M. Collingsworth Bryan K. Guderian Relation of Compensation Policies and Practices to Risk Management Our compensation arrangements contain a number of design elements that serve to minimize the incentive for taking excessive or inappropriate risk to achieve short-term, unsustainable results. This includes using restricted unit grants as a significant element of executive compensation, as the restricted units are designed to reward the executive officers based on the long-term performance of the Partnership. In combination with our risk management practices, we do not believe that risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. 101 Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation During fiscal year 2022, James M. Collingsworth, Stephen L. Cropper, and Bryan K. Guderian served on the compensation committee. None of these individuals is an employee or an officer of our general partner.

(3) Ms. Bridges became Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective September 30, 2021, and thus was not a named executive officer prior to fiscal year 2022. (4) Mr. Karlovich resigned as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective September 30, 2021. Employment Agreement with Mr. McMurray Mr. McMurray is party to an employment agreement with the Partnership, dated March 10, 2017. The agreement has a term of five years from the effective date, subject to automatic renewals for one-year periods thereafter unless either party provides 60 days’ notice of non-renewal of the term. The agreement was renewed by its terms as of March 10, 2022. The agreement provides that Mr. McMurray will receive a base salary of no less than $250,000 per year and will be eligible to receive an annual bonus with respect to each fiscal year of the Partnership at a target of 100% of his base salary. Mr. McMurray is also entitled to receive annual awards of unvested units under the Partnership’s LTIP. In the event that Mr. McMurray’s employment is terminated by the Partnership without “cause” (as defined in his agreement), provided that he executes a general release of claims, Mr. McMurray is entitled to receive (i) continued payment of his base salary for 12 months following the termination, (ii) the guaranteed unit awards that would have been paid or granted to Mr. McMurray had Mr. McMurray remained employed for an additional three years following his termination, and (iii) his target annual bonus for the performance year in which his termination occurs. Mr. McMurray would also be entitled to receive 102 the severance benefits described in the foregoing sentence in the event that he voluntarily resigns due to a “constructive discharge,” which circumstances would include (1) a reduction of Mr. McMurray’s annual base salary below $250,000 (other than an across-the-board, pro rata reduction of no more than 10% applicable to all similarly situated executive officers of the Partnership) or the Partnership’s failure to provide Mr. McMurray’s elements of compensation, (2) the removal of Mr. McMurray from the position of Executive Vice President and General Counsel and Secretary without Mr. McMurray’s written consent, (3) any action by the Partnership that results in significant diminution of Mr. McMurray’s authority, power or responsibilities, or (4) the Partnership’s relocation of its principal place of business in Oklahoma to a location more than 50 miles from its current location. Mr. McMurray is subject to non-disclosure and intellectual property rights assignment obligations, and an obligation not to solicit customers, employees or consultants lasting during his employment and for a period of 12 months thereafter.

Michael Krimbill 137,500 — 137,500 Linda J. Bridges 16,753 14,497 31,250 Lawrence J. Thuillier 10,489 8,261 18,750 Kurston P. McMurray 25,489 22,011 47,500 John A.

In the event that Mr. McMurray’s employment had been terminated as of March 31, 2022 by the Partnership without “cause” or due to a “constructive discharge,” Mr. McMurray would have been entitled to receive the following amounts: Cash Severance Value of Guaranteed Unit Awards Target Annual Bonus Total $ 500,000 $ 249,750 $ 500,000 $ 1,249,750 The board of directors has the option to accelerate the vesting of the Service Awards in the event of a change in control of the Partnership, although it is not under any obligation to do so. If the board of directors were to exercise its discretion to accelerate the vesting of Service Awards upon a change in control, that hypothetically occurred on March 31, 2022, the value of such units would be the same as reported in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at March 31, 2022” table above (in the “Market Value of Service Award Units that Have Not Yet Vested” column). 104 Pay Ratio Disclosure As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the ratio of the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Krimbill, to the median of the annual total compensation of our employees for our last fiscal year. For the year ended March 31, 2022: • The median of the annual total compensation of all employees (other than the Chief Executive Officer) was $88,063; and • The annual total compensation of Mr. Krimbill, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table above, was $1,178,219. Based on the information for the year ended March 31, 2022, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer to the annual total compensation of our median employee was approximately 13 to 1. To determine our median employee, we identified each individual employed by us on January 1, 2022, our determination date. As of that date, we had 876 employees located in two countries. We identified the median employee by examining only base pay plus overtime for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. We included all employees, with the exception of four employees that work in Canada, whether employed on a full-time or part-time basis, and did not make any estimates, assumptions or adjustments to any base pay plus overtime amounts. After identifying the median employee, we calculated the annual total compensation for the median employee using the same methodology we use to calculate total annual compensation for our named executive officers, as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table above. This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. Hedging of Partnership Common Units Our Supplemental Trading Policy prohibits directors, named executive offices and other designated employees from engaging in hedging activities with respect to our common units. Director Compensation Officers or employees of our general partner or its affiliates who also serve as directors do not receive additional compensation for their service as a director of our general partner. Each director who is not an officer or employee of our general partner or its affiliates receives the following cash compensation for his board service: • an annual retainer of $80,000; • an annual retainer of $20,000 for the chairman of the audit committee; • an annual retainer of $15,000 for the chairman of the compensation committee; • an annual retainer of $14,000 for each member of the audit committee other than the chairman; and • an annual retainer of $10,000 for each member of the compensation committee other than the chairman. In addition, each director who is not an officer or employee of our general partner or its affiliates has been granted awards of restricted units. All of our directors are also reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending board or committee meetings. Each director is indemnified for his actions associated with being a director to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. 105 The following table summarizes the compensation earned during fiscal year 2022 by each director who is not an officer or employee of our general partner or its affiliates: Name Fees Earned or Paid in Cash ($) Restricted Unit Awards ($)(1) Total ($) Shawn W.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plan The following table summarizes information regarding the securities that may be issued under the LTIP at March 31, 2022. Number of Securities to be Issued upon Exercise of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights Weighted-Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights Number of Securities Remaining Available for Future Issuances Under Equity Compensation Plans (Excluding Securities Reflected in Column (a)) Plan Category (a) (b) (c) Equity Compensation Plans Approved by Security Holders — — — Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved by Security Holders (1) 2,188,800 — — Total 2,188,800 — — (1) Our general partner adopted the LTIP in connection with the completion of our initial public offering (“IPO”) in May 2011, which did not require the approval of our unitholders. Prior to the expiration of the LTIP on May 10, 2021, we granted approximately 3.3 million common units as Service Awards, which will vest in our 2023 and 2024 fiscal years. Due to the LTIP expiring, we have no common units available for grant and any current unvested Service Awards that are forfeited or canceled will not be available for future grants. Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence Our directors, executive officers, and greater than 5% unitholders collectively own an aggregate of 44,208,446 common units, representing an aggregate 33.83% limited partner interest in us. In addition, our general partner owns a 0.1% general partner interest in us and all of our incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”). As of March 31, 2022, we owned 8.69% of our general partner. Distributions and Payments to Our General Partner and Its Affiliates Our general partner and its affiliates do not receive any management fee or other compensation for the management of our business and affairs, but they are reimbursed for all expenses that they incur on our behalf, including general and administrative expenses. Our general partner determines the amount of these expenses. In addition, our general partner owns the 0.1% general partner interest and all of the IDRs. Our general partner is entitled to receive incentive distributions if the amount we distribute with respect to any quarter exceeds levels specified in our partnership agreement. The following table summarizes the distributions and payments to be made by us to our directors, executive officers, and greater than 5% unitholders and our general partner in connection with our ongoing operation and any liquidation. These distributions and payments were determined by and among affiliated entities before our IPO and, consequently, are not the result of arm’s length negotiations. 108 Operation Stage Distributions of available cash to our directors, executive officers, and greater than 5% unitholders and our general partner We generally make cash distributions 99.9% to our unitholders pro rata, including our directors, executive officers, and greater than 5% unitholders as the holders of an aggregate 44,208,446 common units, and 0.1% to our general partner. In addition, when distributions exceed the minimum quarterly distribution and other higher target distributions levels, our general partner is entitled to increasing percentages of the distributions, up to 48.1% of the distributions above the highest target distribution level. If our general partner elects to reset the target distribution levels, it will be entitled to receive common units and to maintain its general partner interest. As described in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report, the indenture to the 2026 Senior Secured Notes restricts us from paying distributions until our total leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters at the time of the distribution is not greater than 4.75 to 1.00. In addition, quarterly distributions on the preferred units must be fully paid for all preceding fiscal quarters before we are permitted to declare or pay any distributions on our common units. Payments to our general partner and its affiliates Our general partner and its affiliates do not receive any management fee or other compensation for the management of our business and affairs, but they are reimbursed for all expenses that they incur on our behalf, including general and administrative expenses. As the sole purpose of the general partner is to act as our general partner, substantially all of the expenses of our general partner are incurred on our behalf and reimbursed by us or our subsidiaries. Our general partner determines the amount of these expenses. Withdrawal or removal of our general partner If our general partner withdraws or is removed, its general partner interest and its IDRs will either be sold to the new general partner for cash or converted into common units, in each case for an amount equal to the fair market value of those interests. Liquidation Stage Liquidation Upon our liquidation, our partners, including our general partner, will be entitled to receive liquidating distributions according to their respective capital account balances. Transactions with Related Persons We purchase goods and services from certain entities that are partially owned by our named executive officers. The following table summarizes these transactions from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022: Entity Nature of Purchases Amount Purchased Ownership Interest in Entity (in thousands) H. Michael Krimbill KAIR2014 LLC (“KAIR2014”) Aircraft $ 670 50 % In connection with the purchase of our 50% interest in an aircraft company, KAIR2014, we executed a joint and several guarantee for the benefit of the lender for KAIR2014’s outstanding loan. The other owner of KAIR2014, our Chief Executive Officer, H. Michael Krimbill, is a party to a similar guarantee. This guarantee obligates us for the payment and performance of KAIR2014 with respect to the repayment of the loan. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of the loan is approximately $2.5 million. Payments are made monthly, reducing the outstanding balance, and the loan matures in September 2023. As the guarantee is joint and several, we could be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan. The loan is collateralized by the airplane owned by KAIR2014 and in the event of a default, the lender could seek payment in full from us. As of March 31, 2022, no accrual has been recorded related to this guarantee. 109 Travis Krimbill, an employee of the Partnership, is the son of H. Michael Krimbill, who is a named executive officer of the Partnership and a member of the board of directors. Travis Krimbill does not report to H. Michael Krimbill and his compensation is determined by the Chief Financial Officer. During the year ended March 31, 2022, Travis Krimbill received total compensation of approximately $0.2 million. Registration Rights Agreement We have entered into a registration rights agreement (as amended, the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain third parties (the “registration rights parties”) pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) common units owned by the parties to the Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with our IPO, we granted registration rights to the NGL Energy GP Investor Group, and subsequently, we have granted registration rights in connection with several acquisitions. We will not be required to register such common units if an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available with respect to the number of common units desired to be sold. Subject to limitations specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, the registration rights of the registration rights parties include the following: • Demand Registration Rights. Certain registration rights parties deemed “Significant Holders” under the agreement may, to the extent that they continue to own more than 4% of our common units, require us to file a registration statement with the SEC registering the offer and sale of a specified number of common units, subject to limitations on the number of requests for registration that can be made in any twelve-month period as well as customary cutbacks at the discretion of the underwriters relating to a potential offering. All other registration rights parties are entitled to notice of a Significant Holder’s exercise of its demand registration rights and may include their common units in such registration. We can only be required to file a total of nine registration statements upon the Significant Holders’ exercise of these demand registration rights and are only required to effect demand registration if the aggregate proposed offering price to the public is at least $10.0 million. • Piggyback Registration Rights. If we propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to register our common units, the registration rights parties are entitled to notice of such registration and have the right to include their common units in the registration, subject to limitations that the underwriters relating to a potential offering may impose on the number of common units included in the registration. These counterparties also have the right to include their units in our future registrations, including secondary offerings of our common units. • Expenses of Registration. With specified exceptions, we are required to pay all expenses incidental to any registration of common units, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions. Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties The board of directors of our general partner has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that, among other things, sets forth our policies for the review, approval and ratification of transactions with related persons. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics provides that the board of directors of our general partner or its authorized committee will periodically review all related person transactions that are required to be disclosed under SEC rules and, when appropriate, initially authorize or ratify all such transactions. In the event that the board of directors of our general partner or its authorized committee considers ratification of a related person transaction and determines not to so ratify, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics provides that our officers will make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul the transaction. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics provides that, in determining whether or not to recommend the initial approval or ratification of a related person transaction, the board of directors of our general partner or its authorized committee should consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances available, including (if applicable) but not limited to: • whether there is an appropriate business justification for the transaction; • the benefits that accrue to the Partnership as a result of the transaction; • the terms available to unrelated third parties entering into similar transactions; • the impact of the transaction on a director’s independence (in the event the related party is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director is a partner, shareholder or executive officer); • the availability of other sources for comparable products or services; 110 • whether it is a single transaction or a series of ongoing, related transactions; and • whether entering into the transaction would be consistent with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Director Independence The NYSE does not require a listed publicly traded limited partnership like NGL to have a majority of independent directors on the board of directors of its general partner. For a discussion of the independence of the board of directors of our general partner, see Part III, Item 10–“Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance–Board of Directors of our General Partner.” Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services We have engaged Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. The following table summarizes fees we have paid Grant Thornton LLP to audit our annual consolidated financial statements and for other services for the periods indicated: March 31, 2022 2021 (in thousands) Audit fees (1) $ 1,882 $ 2,149 Audit-related fees (2) — 7 Tax fees — — All other fees — — Total $ 1,882 $ 2,156 (1) Includes fees for audits of the Partnership’s financial statements, reviews of the related quarterly financial statements, and services that are normally provided by the independent accountants in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, including reviews of documents filed with the SEC and the preparation of letters to underwriters and other requesting parties. (2) Includes fees in fiscal year 2021 for review services for one of our subsidiaries. Audit Committee Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services The audit committee of the board of directors of our general partner has adopted a pre-approval policy with respect to services which may be performed by Grant Thornton LLP. This policy lists specific audit-related services as well as any other services that Grant Thornton LLP is authorized to perform and sets out specific dollar limits for each specific service, which may not be exceeded without additional audit committee authorization. The audit committee receives quarterly reports on the status of expenditures pursuant to the pre-approval policy. The audit committee reviews the policy at least annually in order to approve services and limits for the current year. Any service that is not clearly enumerated in the policy must receive specific pre-approval by the audit committee prior to engagement. 111 PART IV Item 15.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated June 6, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion. Basis for opinio n These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical audit matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Goodwill Impairment Assessment As described further in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Partnership’s consolidated goodwill balance was $744.4 million as of March 31, 2022. Management evaluates goodwill for impairment on January 1 of each year, or more frequently to the extent events or conditions indicate a risk of possible impairment. Management performed a quantitative impairment assessment for the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit to test goodwill for impairment as of January 1, 2022. As a result of the assessment performed for the reporting unit, and as described further in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Partnership concluded the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and no goodwill impairment was recorded. We identified the goodwill impairment assessment as a critical audit matter. The principal considerations for our determination that the goodwill impairment assessment was a critical audit matter are that there was a high estimation uncertainty due to significant judgments with respect to assumptions used to estimate the future revenues and cash flows, including revenue growth rates, operating expenses and cash outflows necessary to support the cash flows, weighted average costs of capital and future market conditions as well as the valuation methodologies applied by the Partnership. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to management’s forecasted future revenues and cash flows. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained. F-2 Our audit procedures related to the goodwill impairment assessment included the following, among others. We tested the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment tests, including controls over the determination of the fair value of the reporting unit. In addition to testing the effectiveness of controls, we also performed the following: • Utilized a valuation specialist to evaluate: ◦ The methodologies used and whether they were acceptable for the underlying assets or operations and being applied correctly by performing an independent calculation, ◦ The appropriateness of the discount rate by recalculating the weighted average costs of capital and evaluating future market conditions, and ◦ Other significant assumptions, including the terminal growth rate. • Tested the reasonableness of management’s process for determining the fair value of the reporting unit, including the revenue growth rate, forecasted costs and operating margins by comparing such items to the industry projections and conditions found in industry reports as well as historical operating results of the reporting unit and by assessing the likelihood or capability of the reporting unit to undertake activities or initiatives underpinning significant drivers of growth in the forecasted period. /s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP We have served as the Partnership’s auditor since 2010.

F-8 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1— Nature of Operations and Organization NGL Energy Partners LP (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed in September 2010. NGL Energy Holdings LLC serves as our general partner. At March 31, 2022, our operations included three segments: • Our Water Solutions segment transports, treats, recycles and disposes of produced and flowback water generated from crude oil and natural gas production. We also sell produced water for reuse and recycle and brackish non-potable water to our producer customers to be used in their crude oil exploration and production activities. As part of processing water, we aggregate and sell recovered crude oil, also known as skim oil. We also dispose of solids such as tank bottoms, drilling fluids and drilling muds and perform other ancillary services such as truck and frac tank washouts. Our activities in this segment are underpinned by long-term, fixed fee contracts and acreage dedications, some of which contain minimum volume commitments with leading oil and gas companies including large, investment grade producer customers. • Our Crude Oil Logistics segment purchases crude oil from producers and marketers and transports it to refineries or for resale at pipeline injection stations, storage terminals, barge loading facilities, rail facilities, refineries, and other trade hubs, and provides storage, terminaling and transportation services through its owned assets. Our activities in this segment are supported by certain long-term, fixed rate contracts which include minimum volume commitments on our owned and leased pipelines. • Our Liquids Logistics segment conducts supply operations for natural gas liquids, refined petroleum products and biodiesel to a broad range of commercial, retail and industrial customers across the United States and Canada. These operations are conducted through our 24 owned terminals, third-party storage and terminal facilities, nine common carrier pipelines and a fleet of leased railcars. We also provide services for marine exports of butane through our facility located in Chesapeake, Virginia, and expect to commence operations on our propane pipeline in Michigan in June 2022. Note 2— Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments we do not control, but can exercise significant influence over, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. We also own an undivided interest in a crude oil pipeline, and include our proportionate share of assets, liabilities, and expenses related to this pipeline in our consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets and liabilities reported at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses reported during the periods presented. Critical accounting estimates we make in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements include, among others, determining the impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, useful lives and recoverability of property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, the fair value of derivative instruments, estimating certain revenues, the fair value of asset retirement obligations, the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in acquisitions, the recoverability of inventories, the collectibility of accounts and notes receivable and accruals for environmental matters. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is based upon assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. We use the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation technique inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels: F-9 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) • Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. • Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and (iv) inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Instruments categorized in Level 2 include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity price swap and option contracts and forward commodity contracts. We determine the fair value of all of our derivative financial instruments utilizing pricing models for similar instruments. Inputs to the pricing models include publicly available prices and forward curves generated from a compilation of data gathered from third parties. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability. Derivative Financial Instruments We record all derivative financial instrument contracts at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets except for normal purchase and normal sale transactions that are expected to result in physical delivery. For these transactions, we do not record the physical contracts at fair value at each balance sheet date; instead, we record the purchase or sale at the contracted value once the delivery occurs. We have not designated any financial instruments as hedges for accounting purposes. All changes in the fair value of our physical contracts that do not qualify as normal purchases and normal sales and settlements (whether cash transactions or non-cash mark-to-market adjustments) are reported either within revenue (for sales contracts) or cost of sales (for purchase contracts) in our consolidated statements of operations, regardless of whether the contract is physically or financially settled. We utilize various commodity derivative financial instrument contracts to attempt to reduce our exposure to price fluctuations. We do not enter into such contracts for trading purposes. Changes in assets and liabilities from commodity derivative financial instruments result primarily from changes in market prices, newly originated transactions, and the timing of settlements and are reported within cost of sales on the consolidated statements of operations, along with related settlements. We attempt to balance our contractual portfolio in terms of notional amounts and timing of performance and delivery obligations. However, net unbalanced positions can exist or are established based on our assessment of anticipated market movements. Inherent in the resulting contractual portfolio are certain business risks, including commodity price risk and credit risk. Commodity price risk is the risk that the market value of crude oil, natural gas liquids, or refined and renewables products will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions. Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by suppliers, customers or financial counterparties to a contract. Procedures and limits for managing commodity price risks and credit risks are specified in our market risk policy and credit policy, respectively. Open commodity positions and market price changes are monitored daily and are reported to senior management and to marketing operations personnel. Credit risk is monitored daily and exposure is minimized through customer deposits, restrictions on product liftings, letters of credit, and entering into master netting agreements that allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain transactions. Cost of Sales We include all costs we incur to acquire products, including the costs of purchasing, terminaling, and transporting inventory, prior to delivery to our customers, in cost of sales. Cost of sales excludes depreciation of our property, plant and equipment. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization in our consolidated statements of operations includes all depreciation of our property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets other than debt issuance costs, for which the amortization is recorded F-10 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) to interest expense and certain contract-based intangible assets, for which the amortization is recorded to either cost of sales or operating expense. Income Taxes We qualify as a partnership for income tax purposes. As such, we generally do not pay United States federal income tax. Rather, each owner reports his or her share of our income or loss on his or her individual tax return. The aggregate difference in the basis of our net assets for financial and tax reporting purposes cannot be readily determined, as we do not have access to information regarding each partner’s basis in the Partnership. We have certain taxable corporate subsidiaries in the United States and Canada, and our operations in Texas are subject to a state franchise tax that is calculated based on revenues net of cost of sales. Our fiscal years 2018 to 2021 generally remain subject to examination by federal, state, and Canadian tax authorities. We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Changes in tax rates are recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A publicly traded partnership is required to generate at least 90 % of its gross income (as defined for federal income tax purposes) from certain qualifying sources. Income generated by our taxable corporate subsidiaries is excluded from this qualifying income calculation. Although we routinely generate income outside of our corporate subsidiaries that is non-qualifying, we believe that at least 90 % of our gross income has been qualifying income for each of the calendar years since our initial public offering. We have a deferred tax liability of $ 43.5 million and $ 45.8 million at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of acquiring corporations in connection with certain of our acquisitions, which is included within other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The deferred tax liability is the tax effected cumulative temporary difference between the GAAP basis and tax basis of the acquired assets within the corporation. For GAAP purposes, certain of the acquired assets will be depreciated and amortized over time which will lower the GAAP basis. The deferred tax benefit recorded during the year ended March 31, 2022 was $ 1.2 million with an effective tax rate of 11.3 %. The deferred tax benefit recorded during the year ended March 31, 2021 was $ 4.7 million with an effective tax rate of 39.7 %. We evaluate uncertain tax positions for recognition and measurement in the consolidated financial statements. To recognize a tax position, we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more likely than not threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. We had no uncertain tax positions that required recognition in our consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2022 or 2021. Cash and Cash Equivalents Management considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. We place our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; however, we maintain deposits in banks which exceed the amount of deposit insurance available. Management routinely assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes that any possible credit loss would be minimal. Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk We operate in the United States and Canada. We grant unsecured credit to customers under normal industry standards and terms, and have established policies and procedures that allow for an evaluation of each customer’s creditworthiness as well as general economic conditions. See Note 16 for a further discussion of our allowance for expected credit losses. We execute netting agreements with certain customers to mitigate our credit risk. Receivables and payables are reflected at a net balance to the extent a netting agreement is in place and we intend to settle on a net basis. CITGO Petroleum Corporation accounted for 12.8 % of our consolidated revenues for the year ended March 31, 2022. The majority of the revenue for this customer pertains to our Crude Oil Logistics segment activities, and sales to this customer F-11 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) occur mainly out of our crude oil terminal in Cushing, Oklahoma. We did not have any customers that represented over 10% of consolidated revenues for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Inventories Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using either the weighted-average cost or the first in, first out (FIFO) methods, including the cost of transportation and storage, and with net realizable value defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. In performing this analysis, we consider fixed-price forward commitments. Inventories consist of the following at the dates indicated: March 31, 2022 2021 (in thousands) Crude oil $ 135,485 $ 64,916 Propane 43,971 45,521 Butane 33,144 19,189 Biodiesel 20,474 16,169 Diesel 3,504 2,252 Ethanol 3,503 3,056 Other 11,196 7,364 Total $ 251,277 $ 158,467 Investments in Unconsolidated Entities Investments we do not control, but can exercise significant influence over, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in partnerships and limited liability companies, unless our investment is considered to be minor, and investments in unincorporated joint ventures are also accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, we do not report the individual assets and liabilities of these entities on our consolidated balance sheets; instead, our ownership interests are reported within investments in unconsolidated entities on our consolidated balance sheets. Under the equity method, the investment is recorded at acquisition cost, increased by our proportionate share of any earnings and additional capital contributions and decreased by our proportionate share of any losses, distributions paid, and amortization of any excess investment. Excess investment is the amount by which our total investment exceeds our proportionate share of the net assets of the investee. We consider distributions received from unconsolidated entities which do not exceed cumulative equity in earnings subsequent to the date of investment to be a return on investment and are classified as operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. We consider distributions received from unconsolidated entities in excess of cumulative equity in earnings subsequent to the date of investment to be a return of investment and are classified as investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. At March 31, 2022, cumulative equity earnings and cumulative distributions of our unconsolidated entities since they were acquired were $ 6.5 million and $ 9.4 million, respectively. F-12 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Our investments in unconsolidated entities consist of the following at the dates indicated: March 31, Entity Segment Ownership Interest 2022 2021 (in thousands) Water services and land company Water Solutions 50 % $ 15,714 $ 15,832 Water services and land company Water Solutions 10 % 2,863 3,254 Water services and land company Water Solutions 50 % 2,210 2,284 Aircraft company (1) Corporate and Other 50 % 538 748 Water services company Water Solutions 50 % 409 424 Natural gas liquids terminal company Liquids Logistics 50 % 163 177 Total $ 21,897 $ 22,719 (1) This is an investment with a related party. See Note 12 for a further discussion. Other Noncurrent Assets Other noncurrent assets consist of the following at the dates indicated: March 31, 2022 2021 (in thousands) Linefill (1) $ 28,065 $ 28,110 Minimum shipping fees - pipeline commitments (2) 8,899 13,171 Loan receivable (3) 3,147 2,962 Other 5,691 6,490 Total $ 45,802 $ 50,733 (1) Represents minimum volumes of product we are required to leave on certain third-party owned pipelines under long-term shipment commitments. At March 31, 2022 and 2021, linefill consisted of 423,978 barrels of crude oil. Linefill held in pipelines we own is included within property, plant and equipment (see Note 4). During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded an impairment of $ 7.7 million primarily due to adjusting the cost basis of pipeline linefill to the market price of propane as of March 31, 2020. (2) Represents the noncurrent portion of minimum shipping fees paid in excess of volumes shipped, or deficiency credits, for a contract with a crude oil pipeline operator. This amount can be recovered when volumes shipped exceed the minimum monthly volume commitment (see Note 8). As of March 31, 2022, the deficiency credit was $ 13.2 million, of which $ 4.3 million is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheet. (3) Represents the noncurrent portion of a loan receivable, net of an allowance for an expected credit loss, with a former related party. Accrued Expenses and Other Payables Accrued expenses and other payables consist of the following at the dates indicated: March 31, 2022 2021 (in thousands) Accrued interest $ 56,104 $ 56,299 Derivative liabilities 27,108 21,562 Accrued compensation and benefits 18,417 41,456 Excise and other tax liabilities 10,451 10,970 Product exchange liabilities 853 1,188 Other 27,786 38,925 Total $ 140,719 $ 170,400 Property, Plant and Equipment We record property, plant and equipment at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Acquisitions and improvements are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. As we dispose of assets, we remove the cost and related accumulated depreciation from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included within loss on disposal or impairment of F-13 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) assets, net. We compute depreciation expense of our property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (see Note 4). Intangible Assets Our intangible assets include contracts and arrangements acquired in business combinations, including customer relationships, customer commitments, pipeline capacity rights, rights-of-way and easements, water rights, executory contracts and other agreements, covenants not to compete, and trade names. In addition, we capitalize certain debt issuance costs associated with the ABL Facility (as defined herein) and the Sawtooth Caverns, LLC (“Sawtooth”) credit agreement. We amortize the majority of our intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (see Note 6). We amortize debt issuance costs over the terms of the related debt using a method that approximates the effective interest method. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We evaluate the carrying value of our long-lived assets (property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets) for potential impairment when events and circumstances warrant such a review. A long-lived asset group is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group is less than its carrying value. If the carrying value is not recoverable, an impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. When we cease to use an acquired trade name, we test the trade name for impairment using the relief from royalty method and we begin amortizing the trade name over its estimated useful life as a defensive asset. See Note 4 and Note 6 for a further discussion of long-lived asset impairments recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the fair value of such investment may have experienced a decline to less than its carrying value and the decline is other than temporary. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for the acquired businesses over the fair value of the individual assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. Business combinations are accounted for using the “acquisition method”. We expect that all of our goodwill at March 31, 2022 is deductible for federal income tax purposes. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are evaluated for impairment at least annually. We perform our annual assessment of impairment on January 1 of our fiscal year, and more frequently if circumstances warrant. For purposes of the goodwill impairment assessment, assets are grouped into “reporting units.” A reporting unit is either an operating segment or a component of an operating segment, depending on how similar the components of the operating segment are to each other in terms of operational and economic characteristics. For each reporting unit, we perform a qualitative assessment of relevant events and circumstances about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. If it is deemed more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we calculate the fair value of the reporting unit. Otherwise, further testing is not required. If the fair value of the reporting unit (including its inherent goodwill) is less than its carrying value, goodwill is considered to be impaired and the goodwill balance is reduced by the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the reporting unit. Estimates and assumptions used to perform the impairment evaluation are inherently uncertain and can significantly affect the outcome of the analysis. The estimates and assumptions we used in the annual goodwill impairment assessment included market participant considerations and future forecasted operating results. Changes in operating results and other assumptions could materially affect these estimates. See Note 5 for a further discussion and analysis of our goodwill impairment assessment. Product Exchanges Quantities of products receivable or returnable under exchange agreements are reported within prepaid expenses and other current assets and within accrued expenses and other payables in our consolidated balance sheets. We estimate the value of product exchange assets and liabilities based on the weighted-average cost basis of the inventory we have delivered or will deliver on the exchange, plus or minus location differentials. F-14 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of certain consolidated subsidiaries that are owned by third parties. Amounts are adjusted by the noncontrolling interest holder’s proportionate share of the subsidiaries’ earnings or losses each period and any distributions that are paid. Noncontrolling interests are reported as a component of equity, unless the noncontrolling interest is considered redeemable, in which case the noncontrolling interest is recorded between liabilities and equity (mezzanine or temporary equity) in our consolidated balance sheet. Acquisitions To determine if a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or an acquisition of assets, we first calculate the relative fair values of the assets acquired. If substantially all of the relative fair value is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, or if not but the transaction does not include a significant process (does not meet the definition of a business), we record the transaction as an acquisition of assets. For acquisitions of assets, the purchase price is allocated based on the relative fair values and goodwill is not recorded. All other transactions are recorded as business combinations. We record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at their acquisition date fair values. For a business combination, the excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities is recorded as goodwill, which is not amortized but instead is evaluated for impairment at least annually (as described above). Pursuant to GAAP, an entity is allowed a reasonable period of time (not to exceed one year) to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Reclassifications We have reclassified certain prior period financial statement information to be consistent with the classification methods used in the current fiscal year. These reclassifications did not impact previously reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, net income or cash flows. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a Final Rule, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Selected Financial Data, and Supplementary Financial Information”, to modernize, simplify and enhance certain financial disclosure requirements in Regulation S-K. The Final Rule eliminates Regulation S-K, Item 301. Selected Financial Data, streamlines the requirements in Item 302. Supplementary Financial Information, and updates certain requirements in Item 303. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The guidance is effective for fiscal periods ending on or after August 9, 2021, although early adoption is permitted if an entity complies with an amended Item in its entirety. Effective March 31, 2021, we adopted a portion of this guidance by electing to comply with guidance related to Item 301, which eliminated the Selected Financial Data, and Item 302, which allowed us to eliminate the Quarterly Financial Data from the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021. Effective March 31, 2022, we adopted the guidance to comply with the requirements in Item 303. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” This ASU (i) simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating two of the three models in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20 that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features, (ii) amends diluted earnings per share calculations for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method and (iii) simplifies the settlement assessment entities are required to perform on contracts that can potentially settle in an entity’s own equity by removing certain requirements. We adopted this guidance on April 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method. Under our Class D Preferred Unit (as defined in Note 9) agreement, we are permitted to issue common units to redeem a portion of the outstanding Class D Preferred Units. Using the if-converted method, we expect our calculation of earnings per unit to be impacted by both an increase in the number of diluted weighted average common units outstanding and a decrease in the amount of Class D Preferred Unit distributions, when they are determined to be dilutive. Other than the potential impact to our future earnings per unit calculations, the adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows related to any debt or preferred units issued prior to adoption. F-15 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This guidance is effective prospectively upon issuance through December 31, 2022 and may be applied from the beginning of an interim period that includes the issuance date of this ASU. On April 13, 2022, the ABL Facility (as defined herein) was amended to replace the LIBOR benchmark with the SOFR (as defined herein) benchmark (as discussed further in Note 7). We are continuing to evaluate the effect that this guidance will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Note 3— Loss Per Common Unit The following table presents our calculation of basic and diluted weighted average common units outstanding for the periods indicated: Year Ended March 31, 2022 2021 2020 Weighted average common units outstanding during the period: Common units - Basic 129,840,234 128,980,823 127,411,908 Common units - Diluted 129,840,234 128,980,823 127,411,908 For the years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, all potential common units or convertible securities were considered antidilutive.

Note 4— Property, Plant and Equipment Our property, plant and equipment consists of the following at the dates indicated: Estimated March 31, Description Useful Lives 2022 2021 (in years) (in thousands) Natural gas liquids terminal and storage assets 2 - 30 $ 173,199 $ 319,554 Pipeline and related facilities 30 - 40 265,643 264,405 Vehicles and railcars 3 - 25 93,126 126,088 Water treatment facilities and equipment 3 - 30 2,040,687 1,930,437 Crude oil tanks and related equipment 2 - 30 236,805 238,924 Barges and towboats 5 - 30 138,778 137,386 Information technology equipment 3 - 7 48,664 50,220 Buildings and leasehold improvements 3 - 40 151,071 165,679 Land 100,038 100,352 Tank bottoms and linefill (1) 30,443 20,237 Other 3 - 20 15,252 15,054 Construction in progress 55,690 114,796 3,349,396 3,483,132 Accumulated depreciation ( 887,006 ) ( 776,279 ) Net property, plant and equipment $ 2,462,390 $ 2,706,853 (1) Tank bottoms, which are product volumes required for the operation of storage tanks, are recorded at historical cost. We recover tank bottoms when the storage tanks are removed from service. Linefill, which represents our portion of the product volume required for the operation of the proportionate share of a pipeline we own, is recorded at historical cost. The following table summarizes depreciation expense and capitalized interest expense for the periods indicated: Year Ended March 31, 2022 2021 2020 (in thousands) Depreciation expense $ 203,783 $ 190,204 $ 132,791 Capitalized interest expense $ 916 $ 2,778 $ 650 Amounts in the table above do not include depreciation expense and capitalized interest related to TransMontaigne Product Services, LLC (“TPSL”), as these amounts have been classified as discontinued operations within our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2020 (see Note 18). We record (gains) losses from the sales of property, plant and equipment and any write-downs in value due to impairment within loss on disposal or impairment of assets, net in our consolidated statement of operations. The following table summarizes (gains) losses on the disposal or impairment of property, plant and equipment by segment for the periods indicated: Year Ended March 31, 2022 2021 2020 (in thousands) Water Solutions $ 28,068 $ 36,492 $ 22,491 Crude Oil Logistics ( 3,194 ) 1,766 36 Liquids Logistics 11,750 3,350 ( 30 ) Corporate and Other — 228 — Total $ 36,624 $ 41,836 $ 22,497 F-17 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) During the year ended March 31, 2022, the following transactions were recorded: • A net loss of $ 22.3 million related to write-down or write off of certain assets, including facilities damaged by lightning strikes and abandoned projects, and the sale of certain other miscellaneous assets in our Water Solutions segment. • A loss of $ 11.8 million on the sale of a natural gas liquids terminals in our Liquids Logistics segment. • An impairment charge of $ 5.8 million to write down the value of an inactive saltwater disposal facility that we do not expect to bring back online as a result of suspended operations from increased seismic activity in our Water Solutions segment. • A loss of $ 2.2 million from the retirement of certain crude oil terminal assets damaged as part of Hurricane Ida in our Crude Oil Logistics segment. • A gain of $ 5.5 million on the sale of our trucking assets in our Crude Oil Logistics segment. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the following transactions were recorded within our Water Solutions segment: • An impairment charge of $ 30.6 million to write down the value of an asset group due to a decline in producer activity, resulting in lower disposal volumes. See Note 6 for a discussion of the impairment of intangible assets within this asset group. • An impairment charge of $ 11.9 million to write down the value of certain inactive saltwater disposal facilities that we do not expect to bring back online. • A net loss of $ 6.7 million related to write-down or write off of certain assets, including facilities damaged by lightning strikes and abandoned projects, and the sale of certain other miscellaneous assets. • A gain of $ 12.8 million related to the sale of certain permits, land and a saltwater disposal facility (see Note 17). During the year ended March 31, 2020, the following transactions were recorded within our Water Solutions segment: • An impairment charge of $ 13.5 million to write down the value of certain inactive saltwater disposal facilities. • A net loss of $ 9.0 million related to write-down or write off of certain assets, including abandoned projects, and the sale of certain other miscellaneous assets. Note 5— Goodwill The following table summarizes changes in goodwill by segment for the period indicated: Water Solutions Crude Oil Logistics Liquids Logistics Total (in thousands) Balances at March 31, 2020 $ 294,658 $ 579,846 $ 119,083 $ 993,587 Revisions to acquisition accounting ( 11,348 ) — — ( 11,348 ) Impairment — ( 237,800 ) — ( 237,800 ) Balances at March 31, 2021 $ 283,310 $ 342,046 $ 119,083 $ 744,439 Balances at March 31, 2022 $ 283,310 $ 342,046 $ 119,083 $ 744,439 Fiscal Year 2022 Goodwill Impairment Assessment We performed a qualitative assessment as of January 1, 2022 to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit. Based on these qualitative assessments, we determined that the fair value of each of our reporting units was more likely than not greater than the carrying value of the reporting units as of January 1, 2022, with the exception of our Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit. See below for a further discussion of the testing. Due to lower than expected operating results, it was decided that the goodwill within the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit should be tested for impairment as of January 1, 2022. We estimated the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit F-18 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) based on the income approach, also known as the discounted cash flow method, which utilizes the present value of future expected cash flows to estimate the fair value. The future cash flows of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit were projected based upon estimates as of the test date of future revenues, operating expenses and cash outflows necessary to support these cash flows, including working capital and maintenance capital expenditures. We also considered expectations regarding: (i) the crude oil price environment as reflected in crude oil forward prices as of the test date, (ii) volumes based on historical information and estimates of future drilling and completion activity, as well as expectations for future demand recovery and (iii) estimated fixed and variable costs. The discounted cash flows for the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit were based on five years of projected cash flows and we applied a discount rate and terminal multiple that we believe would be applied by a theoretical market participant in similar market transactions. Based on this test, we concluded that the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 12.0 %. Fiscal Year 2021 Goodwill Impairment Assessment We performed a qualitative assessment as of January 1, 2021 to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit. Based on these qualitative assessments, we determined that the fair value of each of our reporting units was more likely than not greater than the carrying value of the reporting units as of January 1, 2021, with the exception of our Water Solutions reporting unit, and our Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit, which was tested for impairment as of December 31, 2020. See below for a further discussion of the testing. Due to lower than expected disposal volumes as a result of a slower than expected recovery in oil production in the various basins in which our Water Solutions reporting unit operates and the completion of our annual budget process, it was decided that the goodwill within the Water Solutions reporting unit should be tested for impairment as of January 1, 2021. We estimated the fair value of our Water Solutions reporting unit based on the income approach, also known as the discounted cash flow method, which utilizes the present value of future expected cash flows to estimate the fair value. The future cash flows of the Water Solutions reporting unit were projected based upon estimates as of the test date of future revenues, operating expenses and cash outflows necessary to support these cash flows, including working capital and maintenance capital expenditures. We also considered expectations regarding: (i) the crude oil price environment as reflected in crude oil forward prices as of the test date, (ii) disposal volumes based on historical information and estimates of future drilling and completion activity, as well as expectations for future demand recovery and (iii) estimated fixed and variable costs. The discounted cash flows for the Water Solutions reporting unit were based on five years of projected cash flows and we applied a discount rate and terminal multiple that we believe would be applied by a theoretical market participant in similar market transactions. Based on this test, we concluded that the fair value of the Water Solutions reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 3.0 %. As discussed in Note 17, in December 2020, we reached a settlement in the Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc.(“Extraction”) bankruptcy case, which is expected to result in decreases in future cash flows for certain of our assets. Based on this aforementioned event, we concluded that a triggering event occurred, which required us to perform a quantitative impairment test as of December 31, 2020 for our Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit. We estimated the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit based on the income approach, also known as the discounted cash flow method, which utilizes the present value of future expected cash flows to estimate the fair value. The future cash flows of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit were projected based upon estimates as of the test date of future revenues, operating expenses and cash outflows necessary to support these cash flows, including working capital and maintenance capital expenditures. We also considered expectations regarding: (i) the crude oil price environment as reflected in crude oil forward prices as of the test date, (ii) volumes based on historical information and estimates of future drilling and completion activity, as well as expectations for future demand recovery and (iii) estimated fixed and variable costs. The discounted cash flows for the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit were based on five years of projected cash flows and we applied a discount rate and terminal multiple that we believe would be applied by a theoretical market participant in similar market transactions. Based on this test, we concluded that the fair value of the Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit was less than its carrying value by approximately 17.0 %. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, in our Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $ 237.8 million within loss on disposal or impairment of assets, net in our consolidated statement of operations. F-19 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Fiscal Year 2020 Goodwill Impairment Assessment We performed a qualitative assessment as of January 1, 2020 to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was greater than the carrying value of the reporting unit. Based on these qualitative assessments, we determined that the fair value of each of these reporting units was more likely than not greater than the carrying value of the reporting units as of January 1, 2020. During the month of March 2020, our market capitalization declined significantly driven by current macroeconomic conditions including the collapse of oil prices driven by both the decrease in demand caused by the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and excess supply, as well as changing market conditions and expected lower crude oil production in certain regions, resulting in expected decreases in future cash flows for certain of our assets. In addition, the uncertainty related to oil demand continues to have a significant impact on the investment and operating plans of our primary customers. Based on these events, we concluded that a triggering event occurred which required us to perform a quantitative impairment test as of March 31, 2020 for our reporting units. We estimated the fair value of our reporting units based on the income approach, also known as the discounted cash flow method, which utilizes the present value of future expected cash flows to estimate the fair value. The future cash flows of our reporting units were projected based upon estimates as of the test date of future revenues, operating expenses and cash outflows necessary to support these cash flows, including working capital and maintenance capital expenditures. We also considered expectations regarding: (i) the crude oil price environment as reflected in crude oil forward prices as of the test date, (ii) volumes based on historical information and estimates of future drilling and completion activity, as well as expectations for future demand recovery and (iii) estimated fixed and variable costs. The discounted cash flows for each reporting unit were based on five years of projected cash flows and we applied discount rates and terminal multiples that we believe would be applied by a theoretical market participant in similar market transactions. Based on these tests, we concluded that the fair values of each of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values with the exception of our Water Solutions reporting unit, whose fair value was less than its carrying value by 7.3 %. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, in our Water Solutions reporting unit, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $ 250.0 million within loss on disposal or impairment of assets, net in our consolidated statement of operations.

Interest is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2021. The 2026 Senior Secured Notes mature on February 1, 2026. The 2026 Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated February 4, 2021 (the “Indenture”). The 2026 Senior Secured Notes are secured by first priority liens in substantially all of our assets other than our accounts receivable, inventory, pledged deposit accounts, cash and cash equivalents, renewable energy tax credits and related assets and second priority liens in our accounts receivable, inventory, pledged deposit accounts, cash and cash equivalents, renewable energy tax credits and related assets. The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to: pay distributions or make other restricted payments or repurchase stock; incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or certain preferred stock; make certain investments; create or incur liens; sell assets; enter into restrictions affecting the ability of restricted subsidiaries to make distributions, make loans or advances or transfer assets to the guarantors (including the Partnership); enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and merge, consolidate or transfer or sell all or substantially all of our assets. The Indenture specifically restricts our ability to pay distributions until our total leverage ratio (as defined in the Indenture) for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters at the time of the distribution is not greater than 4.75 to 1.00. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. We have an option to redeem all or a portion of the 2026 Senior Secured Notes at any time on or after February 1, 2023 at fixed redemption prices contained within the Indenture. Prior to such time, we, at our option, may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Senior Secured Notes with an amount of cash not greater than the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at the redemption price specified in the Indenture. In addition, before February 1, 2023, we may redeem some or all of the 2026 Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Senior Secured Notes redeemed, plus the applicable premium as specified in the Indenture and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. If we experience certain kinds of change of control triggering events, we will be required to offer to repurchase the 2026 Senior Secured Notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Senior Secured Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2026 Senior Secured Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase. F-22 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Compliance At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants under the 2026 Senior Secured Notes indenture. ABL Facility On February 4, 2021, we closed on our ABL Facility that is subject to a borrowing base, which includes a sub-limit for letters of credit. The initial commitments totaled $ 500.0 million and the sub-limit for letters of credit was $ 200.0 million. The ABL Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets, including among other things, a first priority lien on our accounts receivable, inventory, pledged deposit accounts, cash and cash equivalents, renewable energy tax credits and related assets and a second priority lien on all of our other assets. At March 31, 2022, $ 116.0 million had been borrowed under the ABL Facility and we had letters of credit outstanding of approximately $ 155.1 million. The ABL Facility is scheduled to mature at the earliest of (a) February 4, 2026 or (b) 91 days prior to the earliest maturity date in respect to any of our indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million or greater, if such indebtedness is outstanding at such time, subject to certain exceptions. All borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at our option, at either (i) a LIBOR-based rate (with such customary provisions under the ABL Facility providing for the replacement of LIBOR with any successor rate such rate having been determined to be a SOFR-base rate (as defined herein) or (ii) an alternate base rate, in each case plus an applicable borrowing margin based on our fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the ABL Facility). The applicable margin for alternate base rate loans varies from 1.50% to 2.00% and the applicable margin for LIBOR/SOFR-based loans varies from 2.50% to 3.00%. In addition, a commitment fee will be charged and payable quarterly in arrears based on the average daily unused portion of the revolving commitments under the ABL Facility. Such commitment fee will be 0.50% per year, subject to a reduction to 0.375% in the event our fixed charge coverage ratio is greater than or equal to 1.75 to 1.00. At March 31, 2022, the borrowings under the ABL Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 4.64 % calculated as the prime rate of 3.50 % plus a margin of 2.00 % on the alternate base rate borrowings and weighted average LIBOR of 0.50 % plus a margin of 3.00 % for the LIBOR borrowings. On March 31, 2022, the interest rate in effect on letters of credit was 3.00 %. The ABL Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, distributions and other restricted payments, investments (including acquisitions) and transactions with affiliates. The ABL Facility contains, as the only financial covenant, a fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant that is tested based on the financial statements for the most recently ended fiscal quarter upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event (as defined in the ABL Facility). At March 31, 2022, no Cash Dominion Event had occurred. On April 13, 2022, we amended the ABL Facility to increase the commitments to $ 600.0 million under the accordion feature within the ABL Facility. As part of the amendment, we agreed to reduce the commitments back to $ 500.0 million on or before March 31, 2023. In addition, the sub-limit for letters of credit was increased to $ 250.0 million and the LIBOR benchmark was replaced with an adjusted forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) as the interest rate benchmark. At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants under the ABL Facility. Senior Unsecured Notes The senior unsecured notes include the 2023 Notes, 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”). The Partnership and NGL Energy Finance Corp. are co-issuers of the Senior Unsecured Notes, and the obligations under the Senior Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our existing and future restricted subsidiaries that incur or guarantee indebtedness under certain of our other indebtedness, including the ABL Facility. The indentures governing the Senior Unsecured Notes contain various customary covenants, including certain covenants that govern our ability to (i) pay distributions on, purchase or redeem our common equity or purchase or redeem our subordinated debt, (ii) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred units, (iii) create or incur certain liens, (iv) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from our restricted subsidiaries to us, (v) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets, and (vi) engage in transactions with affiliates. F-23 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Our obligations under the Senior Unsecured Notes may be accelerated following certain events of default (subject to applicable cure periods), including, without limitation, (i) the failure to pay principal or interest when due, (ii) experiencing an event of default on certain other debt agreements, or (iii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Issuances On October 24, 2016, we issued $ 700.0 million of 7.5 % 2023 Notes. Interest is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The 2023 Notes mature on November 1, 2023. On February 22, 2017, we issued $ 500.0 million of 6.125 % 2025 Notes. Interest is payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The 2025 Notes mature on March 1, 2025. On April 9, 2019, we issued $ 450.0 million of 7.5 % 2026 Notes in a private placement. Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The 2026 Notes mature on April 15, 2026. Repurchases The following table summarizes repurchases of Senior Unsecured Notes for the periods indicated: Year Ended March 31, 2022 2021 2020 (in thousands) 2023 Notes Notes repurchased $ 79,549 $ 52,072 $ — Cash paid (excluding payments of accrued interest) $ 77,847 $ 33,566 $ — Gain on early extinguishment of debt (1) $ 1,318 $ 18,096 $ — 2025 Notes Notes repurchased $ — $ 7,300 $ 1,815 Cash paid (excluding payments of accrued interest) $ — $ 3,647 $ 454 Gain on early extinguishment of debt (2) $ — $ 3,575 $ 1,341 2026 Notes Notes repurchased $ 6,000 $ 111,598 $ — Cash paid (excluding payments of accrued interest) $ 5,320 $ 78,583 $ — Gain on early extinguishment of debt (3) $ 610 $ 31,463 $ — (1) Gain on early extinguishment of debt for the 2023 Notes during the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is inclusive of the write off of debt issuance costs of $ 0.4 million and $ 0.4 million, respectively.

Compliance At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants under all of the Senior Unsecured Notes indentures. Other Long-Term Debt The Sawtooth credit agreement was paid off and terminated prior to us selling our ownership interest in Sawtooth on June 18, 2021 (see Note 17). F-24 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) On October 29, 2020, we entered into an equipment loan for $ 45.0 million which bears interest at a rate of 8.6 % and is secured by certain of our barges and towboats. We have an aggregate principal balance of $ 41.7 million at March 31, 2022. The loan matures on November 1, 2027. Debt Maturity Schedule The scheduled maturities of our long-term debt are as follows at March 31, 2022: Year Ending March 31, 2026 Senior Secured Notes ABL Facility Senior Unsecured Notes Other Long-Term Debt Total (in thousands) 2023 $ — $ — $ — $ 2,378 $ 2,378 2024 — — 475,702 2,816 478,518 2025 — — 380,020 3,068 383,088 2026 2,050,000 116,000 — 3,343 2,169,343 2027 — — 332,402 3,642 336,044 Thereafter — — — 26,458 26,458 Total $ 2,050,000 $ 116,000 $ 1,188,124 $ 41,705 $ 3,395,829 Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs Amortization expense for debt issuance costs related to long-term debt was $ 12.2 million, $ 7.8 million and $ 5.4 million during the years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The following table summarizes expected amortization of debt issuance costs at March 31, 2022 (in thousands): Year Ending March 31, 2023 $ 12,049 2024 11,560 2025 10,801 2026 8,526 2027 46 Thereafter 6 Total $ 42,988 Note 8— Commitments and Contingencies Legal Contingencies In August 2015, LCT Capital, LLC (“LCT”) filed a lawsuit against NGL Energy Holdings LLC (the “GP”) and the Partnership seeking payment for investment banking services relating to the purchase of TransMontaigne Inc. and related assets in July 2014. After pre-trial rulings, LCT was limited to pursuing claims of (i) quantum meruit (the value of the services rendered by LCT) and (ii) fraudulent misrepresentation against the defendants. Following a jury trial conducted in Delaware state court from July 23, 2018 through August 1, 2018, the jury returned a verdict consisting of an award of $ 4.0 million for quantum meruit and $ 29.0 million for fraudulent misrepresentation, subject to statutory interest. On December 5, 2019, in response to the defendants’ post-trial motion, the Court issued an Order overturning the jury’s damages award and ordering the case to be set for a damages-only trial (the “December 5th Order”). Both parties filed applications with the trial court asking the trial court to certify the December 5th Order for interlocutory, immediate review by the Appellate Court. On January 7, 2020, the Supreme Court of Delaware (“Supreme Court”) entered an Order accepting an interlocutory appeal of various issues relating to both the quantum meruit and fraudulent misrepresentation verdicts. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments of the parties on November 4, 2020, took the matters presented under advisement and on January 28, 2021, issued a ruling that (a) LCT is not entitled to “benefit-of-the-bargain” damages on its fraud claim; (b) LCT is not entitled to receive fraudulent misrepresentation damages separate from its quantum meruit damages; (c) the trial court abused its discretion when it ordered a new trial on damages relating to LCT’s claim of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (d) the trial court properly ordered a new trial on LCT’s claim of quantum meruit damages. The date for the new trial, to be limited to the quantum meru i t claim, has been set by the trial court for November 7, 2022. Any allocation of the ultimate verdict award, if any, between the GP and the Partnership will be F-25 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) made by the board of directors of our general partner once all information is available to it and after the new trial, any post-trial and/or any appellate process has concluded and the verdict is final as a matter of law. As of March 31, 2022, we have accrued $ 2.5 million related to this matter. We are party to various other claims, legal actions, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of our management, the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions, and complaints, after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage, and other arrangements, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently uncertain, and estimates of our liabilities may change materially as circumstances develop. Environmental Matters At March 31, 2022, we have an environmental liability, measured on an undiscounted basis, of $ 1.8 million, which is recorded within accrued expenses and other payables in our consolidated balance sheet. Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. Although we believe our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, risks of additional costs and liabilities are inherent in our business, and there can be no assurance that we will not incur significant costs. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from the operations, could result in substantial costs. Accordingly, we have adopted policies, practices, and procedures in the areas of pollution control, product safety, occupational health, and the handling, storage, use, and disposal of hazardous materials designed to prevent material environmental or other damage, and to limit the financial liability that could result from such events. However, some risk of environmental or other damage is inherent in our business. Asset Retirement Obligations We have contractual and regulatory obligations at certain facilities for which we have to perform remediation, dismantlement, or removal activities when the assets are retired. Our liability for asset retirement obligations is discounted to present value. To calculate the liability, we make estimates and assumptions about the retirement cost and the timing of retirement. Changes in our assumptions and estimates may occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. The following table summarizes changes in our asset retirement obligation, which is reported within other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets (in thousands): Balance at March 31, 2020 $ 18,416 Liabilities incurred 7,952 Liabilities associated with disposed assets (1) ( 22 ) Accretion expense 1,733 Balance at March 31, 2021 28,079 Liabilities incurred 1,865 Liabilities associated with disposed assets (2) ( 1,716 ) Accretion expense 1,713 Balance at March 31, 2022 $ 29,941 (1) Relates to the sale of certain permits, land and saltwater disposal facility (see Note 17). (2) Relates primarily to the disposition of Sawtooth (se e Note 17 ) as well as the sale of certain water disposal wells. In addition to the obligations described above, we may be obligated to remove facilities or perform other remediation upon retirement of certain other assets. However, the fair value of the asset retirement obligation cannot currently be reasonably estimated because the settlement dates are indeterminable. We will record an asset retirement obligation for these assets in the periods in which settlement dates are reasonably determinable. Pipeline Capacity Agreements We have noncancelable agreements with crude oil pipeline operators, which guarantee us minimum monthly shipping capacity on their pipelines. As a result, we are required to pay the minimum shipping fees if actual shipments are less than our allotted capacity. Under certain agreements we have the ability to recover minimum shipping fees previously paid if our shipping volumes exceed the minimum monthly shipping commitment during each month remaining under the agreement, with some contracts containing provisions that allow us to continue shipping up to six months after the maturity date of the contract in order to recapture previously paid minimum shipping delinquency fees. We currently have an asset recorded in prepaid F-26 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) expenses and other current assets and in other noncurrent assets in our consolidated balance sheet for minimum shipping fees paid in both the current and previous periods that are expected to be recovered in future periods by exceeding the minimum monthly volumes (see Note 2). The following table summarizes future minimum throughput payments under these agreements at March 31, 2022 (in thousands): Year Ending March 31, 2023 $ 35,314 2024 35,410 2025 30,897 Total $ 101,621 Sales and Purchase Contracts We have entered into product sales and purchase contracts for which we expect the parties to physically settle and deliver the inventory in future periods.

As these purchase commitments are deliver-or-pay contracts, whereby our counterparty is required to pay us for any volumes not delivered, we have not entered into corresponding long-term sales contracts for volumes we may not receive.

Under this accounting policy election, we do not record the physical contracts at fair value at each balance sheet date; instead, we record the purchase or sale at the contracted value once the delivery occurs. Contracts in the tables above may have offsetting derivative contracts (described in Note 10) or inventory positions (described in Note 2). Certain other forward purchase and sale contracts do not qualify for the normal purchase and normal sale election. These contracts are recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet and are not included in the tables above. These contracts are included in the derivative disclosures in Note 10, and represent $ 52.0 million of our prepaid expenses and other current assets and $ 23.0 million of our accrued expenses and other payables at March 31, 2022. Other Commitments We have noncancelable agreements for product storage, railcar spurs and real estate.

This agreement expires on December 31, 2022. During the years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we recorded $ 2.1 million, $ 2.6 million and $ 0.8 million, respectively, within operating expense in our consolidated statements of operations. At March 31, 2022, the range of potential payments we could be obligated to make pursuant to the subsidy agreement could be from $ 0.0 million to $ 2.4 million. Note 9— Equity Partnership Equity The Partnership’s equity consists of a 0.1 % general partner interest and a 99.9 % limited partner interest, which consists of common units. Our general partner has the right, but not the obligation, to contribute a proportionate amount of F-28 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) capital to us to maintain its 0.1 % general partner interest. Our general partner is not required to guarantee or pay any of our debts or obligations. As of March 31, 2022, we owned 8.69 % of our general partner. General Partner Contributions In connection with the issuance of common units for the vesting of restricted units and warrants that were exercised for common units during the years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we issued 1,103 , 823 and 4,268 , respectively, notional units to our general partner which represented less than $ 0.1 million in each of the years, in order to maintain its 0.1 % interest in us. Common Unit Repurchase Program On August 30, 2019, the board of directors of our general partner authorized a common unit repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to $ 150.0 million of our outstanding common units through September 30, 2021 from time to time in the open market or in other privately negotiated transactions. We did not repurchase any units under this plan and this plan has expired. Suspension of Common Unit and Preferred Unit Distributions The board of directors of our general partner temporarily suspended all distributions (common unit distributions which began with the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and preferred unit distributions which began with the quarter ended March 31, 2021) in order to deleverage our balance sheet and meet the financial performance ratios set within the Indenture of the 2026 Senior Secured Notes, as discussed further in Note 7.

On June 23, 2016, the private placement agreement was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount from $ 200 million to $ 240 million. We received net proceeds of $ 235.0 million (net of offering costs of $ 5.0 million) in connection with the issuance of 19,942,169 Class A Preferred Units and 4,375,112 warrants, which have an exercise price of $ 0.01 .

To the extent declared, such distributions were paid for each such quarter within 45 days after each quarter end. We allocated the net proceeds on a relative fair value basis to the Class A Preferred Units, which includes the value of a beneficial conversion feature, and warrants. We recorded the accretion attributable to the beneficial conversion feature as a deemed distribution. Accretion for the beneficial conversion feature was $ 36.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2020. F-29 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) On April 5, 2019, we redeemed 7,468,978 of the Class A Preferred Units.

Class B Preferred Units On June 13, 2017, we issued 8,400,000 of our 9.00 % Class B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (“Class B Preferred Units”) representing limited partner interests at a price of $ 25.00 per unit for net proceeds of $ 202.7 million (net of the underwriters’ discount of $ 6.6 million and offering costs of $ 0.7 million). On July 2, 2019, we issued 4,185,642 Class B Preferred Units to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Mesquite acquisition. At any time on or after July 1, 2022, we may redeem our Class B Preferred Units, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $25.00 per Class B Preferred Unit plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid distributions to, but not including, the date of redemption, whether or not declared. We may also redeem the Class B Preferred Units upon a change of control as defined in our partnership agreement. If we choose not to redeem the Class B Preferred Units, the Class B preferred unitholders may have the ability to convert the Class B Preferred Units to common units at the then applicable conversion rate. Class B preferred unitholders have no voting rights except with respect to certain matters set forth in our partnership agreement. Distributions on the Class B Preferred Units are payable on the 15th day of each January, April, July and October of each year to holders of record on the first day of each payment month. The initial distribution rate for the Class B Preferred Units from and including the date of original issue to, but not including, July 1, 2022 is 9.00% per year of the $25.00 liquidation preference per unit (equal to $2.25 per unit per year). On and after July 1, 2022, distributions on the Class B Preferred Units will accumulate at a percentage of the $25.00 liquidation preference equal to the applicable three-month LIBOR interest rate (or alternative rate as determined in accordance with the partnership agreement) plus a spread of 7.213%.

In addition, the amount of cumulative but unpaid distribution shall continue to accumulate at the then applicable rate until all unpaid distributions have been paid in full.

The private placement resulted in aggregate net proceeds to us of approximately $ 385.4 million (net of a closing fee of $ 14.6 million payable to affiliates of the purchasers and certain estimated expenses and expense reimbursements). We allocated the net proceeds, on a relative fair value basis, to the Class D Preferred Units ($ 343.7 million) and warrants ($ 41.7 million). Proceeds from this issuance of Class D Preferred Units were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Mesquite acquisition. On October 31, 2019, we completed a private placement of an aggregate of 200,000 Class D Preferred Units and warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 8,500,000 common units for an aggregate purchase price of $ 200.0 million. The private placement resulted in aggregate net proceeds to us of approximately $ 194.7 million (net of a closing fee of $ 5.3 million payable to affiliates of the purchasers and certain estimated expenses and expense reimbursements). We allocated the net proceeds, on a relative fair value basis, to the Class D Preferred Units ($ 183.6 million) and warrants ($ 11.1 million).

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we did not declare or pay distributions to the holders of the Class D Preferred Units, thus the average quarterly distribution at March 31, 2022 is $ 27.32 and the average cumulative distribution since suspension for each Class D Preferred unit is $ 135.28 . In addition, the amount of cumulative but unpaid distributions shall continue to accumulate at the then applicable rate until all unpaid distributions have been paid in full.

In accordance with the terms of our Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, the value of each Class D Preferred Unit automatically increased by the non-cash accretion which was approximately $ 6.9 million in the aggregate with respect to the distribution for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The distributions paid in cash for the year ended March 31, 2020 of $ 17.4 million represented 50 % of the Class D Preferred Units distribution amount. In accordance with the terms of our Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, the value of each Class D Preferred Unit automatically increased by the non-cash accretion, which was approximately $ 17.4 million in the aggregate with respect to the distributions for the year ended March 31, 2020.

At any time on or after the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, each Class D Preferred Unitholder will have the right to require the Partnership to redeem on a date not prior to the 180th day after such anniversary all or a portion of the Class D Preferred Units then held by such preferred unitholder for the then-applicable redemption price, which may be paid in cash or, at the Partnership’s election, a combination of cash and a number of common units not to exceed one-half of the aggregate then-applicable redemption price, as more fully described in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement.

The Class D Preferred Units generally will not have any voting rights, except with respect to certain matters which require the vote of the Class D Preferred Units. The Class D Preferred Units generally do not have any voting rights, except that the Class D Preferred Units shall be entitled to vote as a separate class on any matter on which unitholders are entitled to vote that adversely affects the rights, powers, privileges or preferences of the Class D Preferred Units in relation to other classes of Partnership Interests (as defined in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement) or as required by law. The consent of a majority of the then-outstanding Class D Preferred Units, with one vote per Class D Preferred Unit, shall be required to approve any matter for which the preferred unitholders are entitled to vote as a separate class or the consent of the representative of the Class D Preferred Unitholders, as applicable.

The preferences, rights, powers and duties of holders of Class D Preferred Units are defined in the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement. The Class D Preferred Units rank senior to the common units with respect to payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up, and are in parity with the Class B Preferred Units and Class C Preferred Units.

Equity-Based Incentive Compensation Our general partner has adopted a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), which allowed for the issuance of equity-based compensation. Our general partner granted certain restricted units to employees and directors, which vest in tranches, subject to the continued service of the recipients through the vesting date (the “Service Awards”). The Service Awards may also vest upon a change of control, at the discretion of the board of directors of our general partner. No distributions accrue to or are paid on the Service Awards during the vesting period. The LTIP expired on May 10, 2021. The following table summarizes the Service Award activity during the year ended March 31, 2022: Weighted-Average Grant Date Number of Fair Value Units Per Unit Unvested Service Award units at March 31, 2021 446,975 $ 6.61 Units granted 3,294,750 $ 2.15 Units vested and issued ( 1,146,800 ) $ 3.72 Units forfeited ( 406,125 ) $ 2.63 Unvested Service Award units at March 31, 2022 2,188,800 $ 2.15 The weighted-average grant prices for the years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $ 2.15 , $ 3.76 and $ 12.84 , respectively. In connection with the vesting of certain Service Award units during the year ended March 31, 2022, we canceled 44,769 of the newly-vested common units in satisfaction of $ 0.1 million of employee tax liability paid by us. Pursuant to the expiration of the LTIP discussed below, those canceled units are not available for future grants. As of March 31, 2022, there are 1,459,075 unvested Service Award units which are expected to vest during the year ended March 31, 2023 and 729,725 unvested Service Award units which are expected to vest during the year ended March 31, 2024. Service Awards are valued at the average of the high/low sales price as of the grant date less the present value of the expected distribution stream over the vesting period using a risk-free interest rate. We record the expense for each Service Award on a straight-line basis over the requisite period for the entire award (that is, over the requisite service period of the last separately vesting portion of the award), ensuring that the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant date value of the award that is vested at that date. During the years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we recorded compensation expense related to Service Award units of $ 3.3 million, $ 4.7 million and $ 8.5 million, respectively. During the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, no Service Award units were granted as performance bonuses. Of the Service Award units granted and vested during the year ended March 31, 2020, 1,886,131 units were granted for performance bonuses. The total amount of the bonus payment for the year ended March 31, 2020 was $ 24.5 million, of which we had accrued $ 8.7 million as of March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2022, we had estimated future expense of $ 3.1 million on unvested Service Award units which we expect to record during the year ended March 31, 2023 and $ 1.3 million which we expect to record during the year ended March 31, 2024. F-34 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) As the LTIP expired on May 10, 2021, we have no common units available for grant and any current unvested Service Awards that are forfeited or canceled will not be available for future grants. Note 10— Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current assets and liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Commodity Derivatives The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of our commodity derivative assets and liabilities reported in our consolidated balance sheet at the dates indicated: March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021 Derivative Assets Derivative Liabilities Derivative Assets Derivative Liabilities (in thousands) Level 1 measurements $ 73,353 $ ( 47,585 ) $ 12,312 $ ( 17,857 ) Level 2 measurements 51,968 ( 27,372 ) 37,520 ( 24,474 ) 125,321 ( 74,957 ) 49,832 ( 42,331 ) Netting of counterparty contracts (1) ( 47,585 ) 47,585 ( 12,648 ) 12,648 Net cash collateral provided 839 — 2,660 5,543 Commodity derivatives $ 78,575 $ ( 27,372 ) $ 39,844 $ ( 24,140 ) (1) Relates to commodity derivative assets and liabilities that are expected to be net settled on an exchange or through a netting arrangement with the counterparty.

The following table summarizes the net (losses) gains recorded from our commodity derivatives to revenues and cost of sales in our consolidated statements of operations for the periods indicated (in thousands): Year Ended March 31, 2022 $ ( 116,556 ) 2021 $ ( 83,578 ) 2020 $ 85,941 Amounts in the table above do not include net (losses) gains from our commodity derivatives related to Mid-Con, Gas Blending and TPSL as these amounts have been classified as discontinued operations within our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (see Note 18). Credit Risk We have credit policies that we believe minimize our overall credit risk, including an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition (including credit ratings), collateral requirements under certain circumstances, and the use of industry standard master netting agreements, which allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain transactions. At March 31, 2022, our primary counterparties were retailers, resellers, energy marketers, producers, refiners, and dealers. This concentration of counterparties may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, as the counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other conditions. If a counterparty does not perform on a contract, we may not realize amounts that have been recorded in our consolidated balance sheets and recognized in our net income. F-36 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Interest Rate Risk The ABL Facility is variable-rate debt with interest rates that are generally indexed to the Wall Street Journal prime rate or LIBOR interest rate (or successor rate, which has since been determined to be SOFR). At March 31, 2022, we had $ 116.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 4.64 %. In addition, on and after certain dates, distributions for our Class B Preferred Units and Class C Preferred Units will be calculated using the applicable three-month LIBOR interest rate (or alternative rate as determined in accordance with the partnership agreement) plus a spread (see Note 9 for a further discussion). Fair Value of Fixed-Rate Notes The following table provides fair values estimates of our fixed-rate notes at March 31, 2022 (in thousands): Senior Secured Notes: 2026 Senior Secured Notes $ 2,016,688 Senior Unsecured Notes: 2023 Notes $ 455,485 2025 Notes $ 329,984 2026 Notes $ 290,298 For the 2026 Senior Secured Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes, the fair value estimates were developed based on publicly traded quotes and would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Note 11— Segments Our operations are organized into three reportable segments: (i) Water Solutions, (ii) Crude Oil Logistics and (iii) Liquids Logistics, consistent with the manner in which our chief operating decision maker evaluates performance and allocates resources. These segments have been identified based on the differing products and services, regulatory environment and the expertise required for these operations. Our Liquids Logistics reportable segment includes operating segments that have been aggregated based on the nature of the products and services provided. Operating income of these segments is reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance and make business decisions. Intersegment transactions are recorded based on prices negotiated between the segments and are eliminated upon consolidation. See Note 1 for a discussion of the products and services of our reportable segments. The remainder of our business operations is presented as “Corporate and Other” and consists of certain corporate expenses that are not allocated to the reportable segments.

(“WPX”) and has subsequently retired. Therefore, we are no longer classifying transactions with WPX as a related party. The prior year amounts relate to purchases and sales of crude oil with WPX as well as the treatment and disposal of produced water and solids received from WPX. (2) As previously disclosed, SemGroup Corporation (“SemGroup”), who holds ownership interests in our general partner, was acquired by Energy Transfer LP (“ET”) in December 2019. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we reevaluated our related parties and determined that SemGroup/ET no longer meet the criteria to be disclosed as a related party. Therefore, information for the six months ended September 30, 2019 has been retained but we have not disclosed any information related to transactions subsequent to September 30, 2019. Accounts receivable from affiliates consist of the following at the dates indicated: March 31, 2022 2021 (in thousands) NGL Energy Holdings LLC $ 8,483 $ 8,245 Equity method investees 107 462 Entities affiliated with management 1 728 Total $ 8,591 $ 9,435 Accounts payable to affiliates consist of the following at the dates indicated: March 31, 2022 2021 (in thousands) Equity method investees $ 27 $ 107 Entities affiliated with management 46 12 Total $ 73 $ 119 Other Related Party Transactions Guarantee of Outstanding Loan for KAIR2014 LLC (“KAIR2014”) In connection with the purchase of our 50 % interest in an aircraft company, KAIR2014, discussed below, we executed a joint and several guarantee for the benefit of the lender for KAIR2014’s outstanding loan. The other owner of KAIR2014, our Chief Executive Officer, H. Michael Krimbill, is a party to a similar guarantee. This guarantee obligates us for the payment and performance of KAIR2014 with respect to the repayment of the loan. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of the loan is approximately $ 2.5 million. Payments are made monthly, reducing the outstanding balance, and the loan matures in September 2023. As the guarantee is joint and several, we could be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan. The loan is collateralized by the airplane owned by KAIR2014 and in the event of a default, the lender could seek payment in full from us. As of March 31, 2022, no accrual has been recorded related to this guarantee. F-40 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we purchased a 50 % interest in KAIR2014 for $ 0.9 million in cash and accounted for our interest using the equity method of accounting (see Note 2). The remaining interest in KAIR2014 is owned by our Chief Executive Officer, H. Michael Krimbill. 2026 Senior Secured Notes and ABL Facility To complete the issuance of the 2026 Senior Secured Notes and the ABL Facility (see Note 7), we were required to receive the consent of the holders of our Class D Preferred Units, who are represented on the board of directors of our general partner. For their consent, we paid to the holders of the Class D Preferred Units $ 40.0 million. Acquisition of Interest in NGL Energy Holdings LLC During the year ended March 31, 2020, we purchased, in three transactions, a 2.97 % interest in our general partner, NGL Energy Holdings LLC, for $ 3.8 million in cash and accounted for this as a deduction within limited partners’ equity in our consolidated balance sheet. We also purchased a 5.73 % interest in our general partner, NGL Energy Holdings LLC, for $ 11.5 million in cash and accounted for this as a deduction within limited partners’ equity in our consolidated balance sheet. This interest was purchased from a fund controlled by The Energy & Minerals Group, which is represented on the board of directors of our general partner. Note 13— Employee Benefit Plan We have established a defined contribution 401(k) plan to assist our eligible employees in saving for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. The 401(k) plan permits all eligible employees to make voluntary pre-tax contributions to the plan, subject to applicable tax limitations. For every dollar that employees contribute up to 1% of their eligible compensation (as defined in the plan), we contribute one dollar, plus 50 cents for every dollar employees contribute between 1% and 6% of their eligible compensation (as defined in the plan). Our matching contributions vest over an employee’s first two years of employment, subject to a participant’s continued service. Effective January 1, 2020, for every dollar that employees contribute up to 4% of their eligible compensation (as defined in the plan), we contribute one dollar, plus 50 cents for every dollar employees contribute between 4% and 6% of their eligible compensation (as defined in the plan). Expenses under the plan for the years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $ 3.9 million, $ 3.4 million and $ 2.3 million, respectively, and do not include expenses for matching contributions related to Mid-Con, Gas Blending and TPSL which have been classified as discontinued operations within our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (see Note 18). Note 14— Revenue from Contracts with Customers We recognize revenue for services and products under revenue contracts as our obligations to either perform services or deliver or sell products under the contracts are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in the contract and is recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Our revenue contracts in scope under ASC 606 primarily have a single performance obligation. The evaluation of when performance obligations have been satisfied and the transaction price that is allocated to our performance obligations requires significant judgment and assumptions, including our evaluation of the timing of when control of the underlying good or service has transferred to our customers and the relative stand-alone selling price of goods and services provided to customers under contracts with multiple performance obligations. Actual results can vary from those judgments and assumptions. We do not have any material contracts with multiple performance obligations or under which we receive material amounts of non-cash consideration. Our costs to obtain or fulfill our revenue contracts were not material as of March 31, 2022. The majority of our revenue agreements are within scope under ASC 606 and the remainder of our revenue comes from contracts that are accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815 or that contain nonmonetary exchanges or leases and are in scope under Topics 845 and 842, respectively. See Note 11 for a detail of disaggregated revenue. Revenue from contracts accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815 within our Liquids Logistics segment includes $ 2.4 million of net gains related to changes in the mark-to-market value of these arrangements recorded during the year ended March 31, 2022. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to allow customers to secure the right to reserve the product or storage capacity to be received or used at a later date, not to receive financing from our customers or to provide customers with financing. F-41 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) We report taxes collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities, such as sales and use taxes, on a net basis. We include amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs in revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. Water Solutions Performance Obligations Within the Water Solutions segment, revenue is disaggregated into two primary revenue streams that include service revenue and commodity sales revenue. For contracts involving disposal services, we accept produced water and solids for disposal at our facilities. In cases where we have agreed within a contract or are required by law to remove crude oil from the produced water, the skim oil will be valued as non-cash consideration. Ordinarily, it is required that the fair value of the skim oil is to be estimated at contract inception; however, due to variability of the form of the non-cash consideration, the amount and dollar value is unknown at the contract inception date. Accordingly, ASC 606-10-32-11 allows us to value the skim oil on the date in which the value becomes known. The Water Solutions segment has certain disposal contracts that contain the following types of terms or pricing structures that involve significant judgment that impacts the determination and timing of revenue. • Minimum volume commitments. We receive a shortfall fee if the customer does not deliver a certain amount of volume of produced water over a specified period of time. At each reporting period, we make a determination as to the likelihood of earning this fee. We recognize revenue from these contracts when (i) actual volumes are received; and (ii) when the likelihood of a customer exercising its remaining rights to make up the deficient volumes under minimum volume commitments becomes remote (also known as the breakage model). • Tiered pricing. For contracts with tiered pricing provisions, the period in which the tiers are earned and settled (i.e. the “reset period”) may vary from monthly to over a period of multiple months. If the tiered pricing is based on a month, we allocate the fee to the distinct daily service to which it relates. If the tiered pricing spans across multiple reporting periods, we estimate the total transaction price at the beginning of each reset period, based on the expected volumes. We revise the estimate of variable consideration at each reporting date throughout each reset period. • Volume discount pricing. Volume discount pricing is a form of variable consideration whereby the customer pays for the volumes delivered on a cumulative basis. Similar to tiered pricing, the period in which the cumulative volumes are earned and settled (i.e. the “reset period”) may vary from daily to over a period of multiple months. If the volume discount is based on a month, we allocate the fee to the distinct daily service to which it relates. If the volume discount period spans across multiple reporting periods, we estimate the total transaction price at the beginning of each reset period, based on the expected volumes. We revise the estimate of variable consideration at each reporting date throughout each reset period. For all of our disposal contracts within the Water Solutions segment, revenue will be recognized over time utilizing the output method based on the volume of produced water or solids we accept from the customer. For contracts that involve the sale of recovered crude oil and reuse, recycled and brackish non-potable water, we will recognize revenue at a point in time, based on when control of the product is transferred to the customer. Crude Oil Logistics Performance Obligations Within the Crude Oil Logistics segment, revenue is disaggregated into two primary revenue streams that include revenue from the sale of commodities and service revenue. For sales of commodities, we are obligated to deliver a predetermined amount of crude oil, primarily on a month-to-month basis, to our customers. For these types of agreements, revenue is recognized at a point in time based on when the crude oil is delivered and control is transferred to the customer. For revenue received from services rendered, we are obligated to provide throughput services to move crude oil via pipeline, truck, railcar, or marine vessel or to provide terminal maintenance services. In either case, the obligation is satisfied over time utilizing the output method based on each volume of crude oil that is moved from the origination point to the final destination or based on the passage of time. Liquids Logistics Performance Obligations Within the Liquids Logistics segment, revenue is disaggregated into two primary revenue streams that include revenue from the sale of commodities and service revenue. For sales of commodities, we are obligated to deliver a specified amount of F-42 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) product over a specified period of time. For these types of agreements, revenue is recognized at a point in time based on when the product is delivered and control is transferred to the customer. For revenue received from services rendered, we offer a variety of services which include: (i) storage services where product is commingled; (ii) railcar transportation services; (iii) transloading services; and (iv) logistics services. We are obligated to provide these services over a predetermined period of time. All revenue from services is recognized over time utilizing the output method based on volumes stored or moved. Remaining Performance Obligations Most of our service contracts are such that we have the right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date. Therefore, we utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18 under which we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice. Applying this practical expedient, we are not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations under these agreements. The following table summarizes the amount and timing of revenue recognition for such contracts at March 31, 2022 (in thousands): Year Ending March 31, 2023 $ 117,792 2024 96,205 2025 73,224 2026 17,240 2027 3,727 Thereafter 2,071 Total $ 310,259 Many agreements are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, we utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50 that exempts us from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. Additionally, for our product sales contracts, we have elected the practical expedient set out in ASC 606-10-50-14A, which states that we are not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these agreements, each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation and therefore future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. Under product sales contracts, the variability arises as both volume and pricing (typically index-based) are not known until the product is delivered. Contract Assets and Liabilities Amounts owed from our customers under our revenue contracts are typically billed as the service is being provided on a monthly basis and are due within 1-30 days of billing, and are classified as accounts receivable-trade on our consolidated balance sheets. Under certain of our contracts, we recognize revenues in excess of billings, referred to as contract assets, within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Accounts receivable from contracts with customers are presented within accounts receivable-trade and accounts receivable-affiliates in our consolidated balance sheets. We did not record any contract assets during the year ended March 31, 2022. Under certain of our contracts we may be entitled to receive payments in advance of satisfying our performance obligations under the contract. We recognize a liability for these payments in excess of revenue recognized, referred to as deferred revenue or contract liabilities, within advance payments received from customers in our consolidated balance sheets. Our deferred revenue primarily relates to: • Prepayments. Some revenue contracts contain prepayment provisions within our Liquids Logistics segment. In some cases, we also receive prepayments from customers purchasing commodities, which allows the customer to secure the right to receive their requested volumes in a future period. Revenue from these contracts is initially deferred, thus creating a contract liability. • Multi-period contract in which fee escalates each subsequent year of the contract. Revenue from these contracts is recognized over time based on a weighted average of what is expected to be received over the life of the contract. As the actual amount billed and received from the customer differs from the amount of revenue recognized, a contract liability is recorded. F-43 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) • Tiered pricing and volume discount pricing. As described above, we revise the estimate of variable consideration at each reporting date throughout each reset period. As the actual amount billed and received from the customer differs from the amount of revenue recognized, a contract liability is recorded. • Capital reimbursements. Certain contracts in our Water Solutions segment require that our customers reimburse us for capital expenditures related to the construction of long-lived assets, such as water gathering pipelines and custody transfer points, utilized to provide services to them under the revenue contracts. Because we consider these amounts as consideration from customers associated with ongoing services to be provided to customers, we defer these upfront payments in deferred revenue and recognize the amounts in revenue over the life of the associated revenue contract as the performance obligations are satisfied under the contract. Contract Assets and Liabilities The following tables summarize the balances of our contract assets and liabilities at the dates indicated: March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021 (in thousands) Accounts receivable from contracts with customers $ 605,384 $ 436,682 Contract liabilities balance at March 31, 2021 $ 10,896 Payment received and deferred 49,024 Payment recognized in revenue ( 44,019 ) Disposition of Sawtooth (see Note 17) ( 8,234 ) Contract liabilities balance at March 31, 2022 $ 7,667 Note 15— Leases We adopted ASC 842 effective April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method with no cumulative effect adjustment to equity. Upon adoption, we recorded operating lease right-of-use assets of $ 551.2 million and operating lease obligations of $ 549.0 million, including amounts classified as assets and liabilities held for sale as of April 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not impact our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations or unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2019. We also elected the following transitional practical expedients, which allowed us to (i) not evaluate land easements prior to April 1, 2019; (ii) use hindsight in determining the lease term; (iii) not reassess whether current or expired contracts contain leases; (iv) not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (v) not reassess initial costs. Lessee Accounting Our leasing activity primarily consists of product storage, office space, real estate, railcars, and equipment. We determine if an agreement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If an arrangement is determined to contain a lease, we classify the lease as an operating lease or a finance lease depending on the terms of the arrangement. All of our leases are classified as operating leases. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term when we control the use of the asset by obtaining substantially all of the economic benefits of the asset and direct the use of the asset. Operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities with an initial term of greater than one year are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our incremental borrowing rate represents the interest rate which we would pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term in a similar economic environment. We do not have any leases that provide for guarantees of residual value. Our lease agreements may include options to extend or terminate the lease which are included in the measurement of our operating lease liability when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Lease renewal terms vary from one year to 30 years. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have variable lease payments, including adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate, such as a consumer price index, fair value adjustments to lease payments, and common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and insurance payments in certain real estate leases. We also have certain land leas es within our Water Solutions segment that require us to pay a royalty, which could be F-44 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) based on a flat rate per barrel disposed or a percentage of revenue generated. Variable lease payments are excluded from operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred. Operating lease right-of-use assets also include any lease prepayments and exclude lease incentives. For leases acquired as a result of an acquisition, the right-of-use asset also includes adjustments for any favorable or unfavorable market terms present in the lease. Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less that do not include a purchase option, with the exception of railcar leases, are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is disclosed below. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For certain leases of buildings and land, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component based on the election of the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components. At March 31, 2022, we had operating lease right-of-use assets of $ 114.1 million and current and noncurrent operating lease obligations of $ 41.3 million and $ 72.8 million, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2021, we had operating lease right-of-use assets of $ 152.1 million and current and noncurrent operating lease obligations of $ 47.1 million and $ 103.6 million, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2022, the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for our operating leases was 6.46 years and 7.49 %, respectively. At March 31, 2021, the weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for our operating leases was 6.88 years and 7.06 %, respectively. The following table summarizes the components of our lease expense for the periods indicated: Year Ended March 31, 2022 2021 2020 (in thousands) Operating lease expense $ 58,535 $ 69,031 $ 72,340 Variable lease expense 22,130 18,871 19,158 Short-term lease expense 351 1,217 799 Total $ 81,016 $ 89,119 $ 92,297 The following table summarizes maturities of our operating lease obligations at March 31, 2022 (in thousands): Year Ending March 31, 2023 $ 46,599 2024 30,020 2025 17,490 2026 8,416 2027 4,593 Thereafter 38,821 Total lease payments 145,939 Less imputed interest ( 31,894 ) Total operating lease obligations $ 114,045 The following table summarizes supplemental cash flow and non-cash information related to our operating leases for the periods indicated: Year Ended March 31, 2022 2021 2020 (1) (in thousands) Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease obligations $ 57,449 $ 68,141 $ 101,678 Operating lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations $ 14,950 $ 33,579 $ 598,734 (1) Amounts include the leases and activity for TPSL and Gas Blending which were sold during the year ended March 31, 2020 (see Note 18). F-45 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Lessor Accounting and Subleases Our lessor arrangements include storage and railcar contracts, of which certain agreements contain renewal options for periods of between one year and five years . We determine if an agreement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If an arrangement is determined to contain a lease, we classify the lease as operating, sales-type or direct financing. Lessor accounting under ASC 842 is substantially unchanged and all of our leases will continue to be classified as operating leases. We also, from time to time, sublease certain of our storage capacity and railcars to third parties. Fixed rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. During the years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, fixed rental revenue was $ 14.4 million, $ 15.9 million and $ 20.4 million, which includes $ 1.4 million, $ 2.5 million and $ 4.6 million of sublease revenue, respectively. The following table summarizes future minimum lease payments receivable under various noncancelable operating lease agreements at March 31, 2022 (in thousands): Year Ending March 31, 2023 $ 8,947 2024 4,807 2025 692 2026 415 2027 415 Thereafter 423 Total $ 15,699 Note 16— Allowance for Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) ASU 2016-13 requires that an allowance for expected credit losses be recognized for certain financial assets that reflects the current expected credit loss over the financial asset’s contractual life. The valuation allowance considers the risk of loss, even if remote, and considers past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. We are exposed to credit losses primarily through sale of products and services and notes receivable from third-parties. A counterparty’s ability to pay is assessed through a credit process that considers the payment terms, the counterparty’s established credit rating or our assessment of the counterparty’s credit worthiness and other risks. We can require prepayment or collateral to mitigate credit risks. We group our financial assets into pools of counterparties with similar risk characteristics for the purpose of determining the allowance for expected credit losses. Each reporting period, we assess whether a significant change in the risk of expected credit loss has occurred. Among the quantitative and qualitative factors considered in calculating our allowance for expected credit losses are historical financial data, including write-offs and allowances, current conditions, industry risk and current credit ratings. Financial assets will be written off in whole, or in part, when practical recovery efforts have been exhausted and no reasonable expectation of recovery exists. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded as an increase to the allowance. We manage receivable pools using past due balances as a key credit quality indicator. The following table summarizes changes in our expected credit loss allowance for accounts receivable - trade for the periods indicated: Year Ended March 31, 2022 2021 2020 (1) (in thousands) Balance at beginning of year $ 2,192 $ 4,540 $ 4,016 Cumulative effect adjustment — 433 — Change in provision for expected credit losses 929 319 1,202 Write-offs charged against the provision ( 491 ) ( 3,100 ) ( 678 ) Disposition of Sawtooth (See Note 17) ( 4 ) — — Balance at end of year $ 2,626 $ 2,192 $ 4,540 (1) We adopted ASU 2016-13 as of April 1, 2020. The allowance reported for the year ended March 31, 2020 has not been changed from its previous presentation. F-46 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) The following table summarizes changes in our expected credit loss allowance for notes receivable and other for the periods indicated: Year Ended March 31, 2022 2021 (1) (in thousands) Balance at beginning of year $ 458 $ — Cumulative effect adjustment — 680 Write-offs charged against the provision — ( 222 ) Balance at end of year $ 458 $ 458 (1) We adopted ASU 2016-13 as of April 1, 2020. An allowance had not been established for notes receivable and other prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13. In addition to the provision for expected credit losses above, we also wrote off $ 5.7 million during the year ended March 31, 2021 as discussed in Note 17. Note 17— Other Matters Sale of Sawtooth On June 18, 2021, we sold our approximately 71.5 % interest in Sawtooth to a group of buyers for total consideration of $ 70.0 million less expenses of approximately $ 2.0 million. We recorded a loss of $ 60.1 million within loss on disposal or impairment of assets, net in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2022 . As this sale transaction did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations or financial results, operations related to this portion of our Liquids Logistics segment have not been classified as discontinued operations. Third-party Loan Receivable As previously disclosed, we had an outstanding loan receivable of $ 26.7 million, including accrued interest, associated with our interest in a natural gas liquids loading/unloading facility (the “Facility”) that was utilized by a third party. Our loan receivable was secured by title to and a lien interest on the Facility. The third party filed a petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code in July 2019, at which time we filed our Proof of Claim within the bankruptcy case. On June 26, 2020, we settled our claim with the third party and agreed to receive $ 16.3 million, for which we released any and all claims and/or liens with respect to the Facility and transferred title of the Facility to the third party. For the remaining $ 10.4 million of the loan receivable, we filed an unsecured claim within the bankruptcy. As of June 30, 2020, we wrote-off approximately $ 9.4 million, the portion of the unsecured claimed we have deemed uncollectible, and this amount was recorded as a loss within loss (gain) on disposal or impairment of assets, net in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining balance of $ 0.6 million, net of an allowance for an expected credit loss, is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheet. Third-party Bankruptcy As previously disclosed, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, Extraction, who is a significant shipper on our Grand Mesa pipeline, filed a petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. Extraction had transportation contracts pursuant to which it had committed to ship crude oil on our pipeline through October 2026. As part of the bankruptcy filing, Extraction requested that the court authorize it to reject these transportation contracts, effective June 14, 2020, and on November 2, 2020, the bankruptcy court issued a bench ruling granting Extraction’s motion to reject the transportation contracts effective as of June 14, 2020. On December 21, 2020, we announced a global settlement agreement with Extraction, as it relates to Extraction’s emergence from bankruptcy, which occurred on January 21, 2021. Among other consideration, the global settlement agreement provides for the following: (i) a new long-term supply agreement, which includes a significant acreage dedication in the DJ Basin, and retains Extraction’s crude oil volumes for shipping on our Grand Mesa Pipeline; (ii) a new rate structure under the supply agreement which is based on calendar month average New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) prices with an agreed upon differential plus an increase in the rate when those NYMEX prices exceed $ 50.00 per barrel; and (iii) the receipt of $ 35.0 million from Extraction as a liquidated payment for our unsecured claims, which was received on January 21, 2021. F-47 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) As a result of entering into the global settlement agreement, we determined that the customer commitment intangible asset related to one of the transportation contracts was impaired as of December 31, 2020 and recorded an impairment charge of $ 145.8 million , which was calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the intangible asset of $ 180.8 million and the $ 35.0 million received from Extraction. We recorded the impairment charge within loss on disposal or impairment of assets, net in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2021 . We also determined, as a result of these transactions, that it was more likely than not, that the fair value of our Crude Oil Logistics reporting unit was less than its carrying value and assessed goodwill for impairment, which resulted in an impairment charge of $ 237.8 million . See Note 5 for a further discussion of the impairment of goodwill. Extraction continued to utilize, during the bankruptcy period, the services under the transportation contracts by nominating and delivering barrels to be shipped on our pipeline. As of September 30, 2020, Extraction owed us $ 5.7 million related to deficiency volumes, which was the difference between the actual volumes shipped and the minimum volume commitment specified under the contracts. Following our global settlement, we deemed this amount uncollectible and wrote off the entire balance to bad debt expense within our consolidated statement of operations during the year ended March 31, 2021. Sale of Certain Assets During the three months ended December 31, 2020, we sold certain permits, land and a saltwater disposal facility to WaterBridge Resources LLC for total proceeds of $ 43.2 million. We recorded a gain of $ 14.0 million within loss on disposal or impairment of assets, net in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2021 . As part of the sale of our South Pecos water disposal business in February 2019, WaterBridge Resources LLC also had the option to acquire additional land and permits once the permitting process had been completed. During the year ended March 31, 2020, WaterBridge Resources LLC acquired two additional permits and we received proceeds of $ 15.0 million and recorded a gain of $ 14.5 million within loss on disposal or impairment of assets, net in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2020. Note 18— Discontinued Operations As previously disclosed, on September 30, 2019, we completed the sale of TPSL to Trajectory Acquisition Company, LLC. On January 3, 2020, we completed the sale of our refined products business in the mid-continent region of the United States (“Mid-Con”) to a third-party. On March 30, 2020, we completed the sale of our gas blending business in the southeastern and eastern regions of the United States (“Gas Blending”) to another third-party. As the sale of each of these businesses represented strategic shifts, the results of operations and cash flows related to these businesses are classified as discontinued operations for the periods presented. The following table summarizes the results of operations from discontinued operations for the periods indicated: Year Ended March 31, 2021 2020 (in thousands) Revenues $ 16,198 $ 12,186,862 Cost of sales 16,556 12,193,307 Operating expenses 290 6,997 General and administrative expense — 56 Depreciation and amortization — 749 Loss on disposal or impairment of assets, net (1) 1,174 203,990 Operating loss from discontinued operations ( 1,822 ) ( 218,237 ) Interest expense — ( 111 ) Other income, net — 133 Loss from discontinued operations before taxes ( 1,822 ) ( 218,215 ) Income tax benefit (expense) 53 ( 20 ) Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax $ ( 1,769 ) $ ( 218,235 ) (1) Amount for the year ended March 31, 2021 includes a loss of $ 1.0 million on the sale of Gas Blending and $ 0.2 million on the sale of TPSL. Amount for the year ended March 31, 2020 includes a loss of $ 182.1 million on the sale of TPSL, a loss of $ 6.3 million on the sale of Mid-Con, a loss of $ 14.5 million on the sale of Gas Blending and a loss of $ 1.0 million on the sale of virtually all of our remaining Retail Propane segment to Superior Plus Corp. on July 10, 2018. F-48 NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Note 19— Subsequent Events On April 13, 2022, we amended the ABL Facility to increase the commitments to $ 600.0 million under the accordion feature within the ABL Facility. As part of the amendment, we agreed to reduce the commitments back to $ 500.0 million on or before March 31, 2023. In addition, the sub-limit for letters of credit was increased to $ 250.0 million, and the LIBOR benchmark was replaced with the adjusted daily simple SOFR benchmark. F-49
