Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Principles of Consolidation | Organization and Principles of Consolidation The Partnership was formed in June 2012 by Susser Holdings Corporation (“Susser”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sunoco GP LLC (formerly known as Susser Petroleum Partners GP LLC), our general partner (“General Partner”). On September 25, 2012, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 10,925,000 common units representing limited partner interests. On April 27, 2014, Susser entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”) and certain other related entities, under which ETP acquired the outstanding common shares of Susser (the “ETP Merger”). The ETP Merger was completed on August 29, 2014. By acquiring Susser, ETP acquired 100% of the non-economic general partner interest and incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) in the Partnership, which have subsequently been distributed to Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (“ETE”). Effective October 27, 2014, the Partnership changed its name from Susser Petroleum Partners LP (NYSE: SUSP) to Sunoco LP (“SUN,” NYSE: SUN). This change aligned the Partnership’s legal and marketing name with that of ETP’s iconic brand, Sunoco. As used in this document, the terms “Partnership,” “SUN,” “we,” “us,” and “our” should be understood to refer to Sunoco LP and our consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The consolidated financial statements are composed of Sunoco LP, a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, our majority-owned subsidiaries, and the variable interest entities (“VIE”s) in which we were the primary beneficiary (through December 23, 2015). We distribute motor fuels across more than 30 states throughout the East Coast, Midwest, South Central and Southeast regions of the United States from Maine to Florida and from Florida to New Mexico, as well as Hawaii. We also operate convenience retail stores across more than 20 states, primarily in Texas, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, Florida, and Hawaii. On October 1, 2014, we acquired 100% of the membership interest of Mid-Atlantic Convenience Stores, LLC (“MACS”). On April 1, 2015, we acquired a 31.58% membership interest and 50.1% voting interest in Sunoco, LLC (“Sunoco LLC”). On July 31, 2015, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Susser. Finally, on March 31, 2016 (effective January 1, 2016), we acquired the remaining 68.42% membership interest and 49.9% voting interest in Sunoco LLC as well as 100% of the membership interest in Sunoco Retail LLC (“Sunoco Retail”). Results of operations for the MACS, Sunoco LLC, Susser, and Sunoco Retail acquisitions, deemed transactions between entities under common control, have been included in our consolidated results of operations since September 1, 2014, the date of common control. See Note 3 for further information. On April 6, 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Partnership (collectively, the “Sellers”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with 7-Eleven, Inc., a Texas corporation (“7-Eleven”) and SEI Fuel Services, Inc., a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of 7-Eleven (“SEI Fuel,” and, together with 7-Eleven, referred to herein collectively as “Buyers”). On January 23, 2018, we completed the disposition of assets pursuant to the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement entered by and among Sellers, Buyers and certain other named parties for the limited purposes set forth therein, pursuant to which the parties agreed to amend and restate the Purchase Agreement to reflect commercial agreements and updates made by the parties in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. On January 18, 2017, with the assistance of a third-party brokerage firm, we launched a portfolio optimization plan to market and sell 97 real estate assets located in Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. The results of these operations (collectively, the “Retail Divestment”) have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 4 for more information related to the Purchase Agreement, the optimization plan, and the discontinued operations. All other footnotes present results of the continuing operations. We have signed definitive agreements with a commission agent to operate the approximately 207 retail sites located in certain West Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico markets, which were not included in the previously announced transaction with 7-Eleven, Inc. Conversion of these sites to the commission agent is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2018. The Partnership determined that these sites no longer meet the accounting requirements to be classified as held for sale or reported as discontinued operations and are no longer considered part of the Retail Divestment. Our primary operations are conducted by the following consolidated subsidiaries: Wholesale Subsidiaries
• | Sunoco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, primarily distributes motor fuel in 30 states throughout the East Coast, Midwest, South Central and Southeast regions of the United States. Sunoco LLC also processes transmix and distributes refined product through its terminals in Alabama and the Greater Dallas, Texas metroplex.
• | Aloha Petroleum LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, distributes motor fuel and operates terminal facilities on the Hawaiian Islands.
Retail Subsidiaries (Also See Note 4)
• | Susser Petroleum Property Company LLC (“PropCo”), a Delaware limited liability company, primarily owns and leases convenience store properties.
• | Susser, a Delaware corporation, sells motor fuel and merchandise in Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma through Stripes-branded convenience stores.
• | Sunoco Retail, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, owns and operates convenience stores that sell motor fuel and merchandise primarily in Pennsylvania, New York, and Florida.
• | MACS Retail LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, owns and operates convenience stores, in Virginia, Maryland, and Tennessee.
• | Aloha Petroleum, Ltd. (“Aloha”), a Hawaii corporation, owns and operates convenience stores on the Hawaiian Islands.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain items have been reclassified for presentation purposes to conform to the accounting policies of the consolidated entity. These reclassifications had no impact on gross margin, income from operations, net income and comprehensive income, or the balance sheets or statements of cash flows.
