Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | (16) Related Party Transactions In May 2012, IEP announced that it had acquired control of CVR pursuant to a tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. As of December 31, 2015, IEP owned approximately 82% of all common shares outstanding. See Note 1 ("Organization and History of the Company") for additional discussion. American Railcar Entities From March 2009 until June 2013, the Company, through the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership, leased 199 railcars from American Railcar Leasing LLC ("ARL"), a company controlled by IEP, the Company's majority stockholder. On June 13, 2013, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership purchased the railcars under the lease from ARL for approximately $5.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2013, rent expense of $0.4 million was recorded related to this agreement and was included in cost of product sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In 2014, the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership purchased 50 new UAN railcars from American Railcar Industries, Inc. ("ARI"), an affiliate of IEP, for approximately $6.7 million and 12 used UAN railcars from ARL for approximately $1.1 million. Also, ARI performed railcar maintenance for the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership, and the expenses associated with this maintenance were approximately $50,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014. International Truck Purchase During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Refining Partnership purchased seven trucks from a subsidiary of Navistar International Corporation for approximately $0.8 million. Tax Allocation Agreement CVR is a member of the consolidated federal tax group of AEPC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IEP, and has entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement. Refer to Note 8 ("Income Taxes") for a discussion of related party transactions under the Tax Allocation Agreement. Insight Portfolio Group Insight Portfolio Group LLC is an entity formed and controlled by Mr. Icahn in order to maximize the potential buying power of a group of entities with which Mr. Icahn has a relationship in negotiating with a wide range of suppliers of goods, services and tangible and intangible property at negotiated rates. CVR Energy was a member of the buying group in 2012. In January 2013, CVR Energy acquired a minority equity interest in Insight Portfolio Group and agreed to pay a portion of Insight Portfolio Group's operating expenses in 2013. The Company paid Insight Portfolio Group approximately $0.1 million, $0.4 million and $0.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company may purchase a variety of goods and services as members of the buying group at prices and terms that management believes would be more favorable than those which would be achieved on a stand-alone basis. CRLLC Guaranty On February 9, 2016, CRLLC and the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership entered into a guaranty, pursuant to which CRLLC agreed to guaranty the indebtedness outstanding under the Nitrogen Fertilizer Partnership's credit facility. Refer to Note 9 ("Long-Term Debt") for further discussion of the guaranty terms.
