Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation | Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Par and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts previously reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the complete fiscal year or for any other period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Use Of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
Inventories | Inventories Beginning in 2018, Inventories also include Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”). RINs are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The net cost of RINs is recognized within Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Cost of revenues | Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) includes the hydrocarbon-related costs of inventory sold, transportation costs of delivering product to customers, crude oil consumed in the refining process, costs to satisfy our RINs obligations, and certain hydrocarbon fees and taxes. Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) also includes the unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and inventory valuation adjustments.
Operating expenses | Operating expense (excluding depreciation) includes direct costs of labor, maintenance and services, energy and utility costs, property taxes, and environmental compliance costs as well as chemicals and catalysts and other direct operating expenses.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements There have been no developments to recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, except for the following: In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02” or “ASC Topic 842”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize all leases, including operating leases, on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset or lease liability, unless the lease is a short-term lease. ASU 2016-02 also requires additional disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01 (“ASU 2018-01”), which clarifies the related transition and accounting for land easements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 (“ASU 2018-11”), which allows for an option to apply the transition provisions of ASC Topic 842 at the adoption date versus at the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements and an optional practical expedient that permits lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. These three ASUs and other amendments and technical corrections to ASC Topic 842 are effective for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and early application is permitted. We will adopt ASC Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. We also plan to apply certain practical expedients that allow us, among other things, not to reassess lease contracts that commenced prior to the effective date. We are in the process of determining the impact this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. We have formally established a working group to assess the amended lease guidance in ASC Topic 842, including its impact on our business processes, accounting systems, controls, and financial statement disclosures. As part of our evaluation, the working group is reviewing existing lease contracts and other arrangements that may include an embedded lease. Our existing lease contracts include leases related to retail facilities, railcars, barges, and other facilities used in the storage, transportation, and sale of crude oil and refined products. The adoption of ASC Topic 842 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, primarily due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. The new standard will also require additional disclosures for financing and operating leases. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”). This ASU permits entities to elect to reclassify to retained earnings the stranded effects in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income related to the changes in the statutory tax rate that were charged to income from continuing operations under the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” The guidance in ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Management is still evaluating the effects of the available adoption methods and has not yet determined which method will be elected. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). This ASU amends, adds, and removes certain disclosure requirements under FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement.” The guidance in ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-13 on our disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (“ASU 2018-14”). This ASU amends, adds, and removes certain disclosure requirements under FASB ASC Topic 715 “Compensation—Retirement Benefits.” The guidance in ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-14 on our disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). This ASU requires entities to account for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing agreement that is a service contract under the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 350, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” which results in a capitalized and amortizable intangible asset instead of expensing such costs as required under the current guidance. The guidance in ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-15 on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Accounting Principles Adopted On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as amended by other ASUs issued since May 2014 (“ASU 2014-09” or “ASC Topic 606”), using the modified retrospective method as permitted. Under this method, the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or accumulated deficit) and revenues reported in the periods prior to the date of adoption are not changed. Because the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the amount or timing of revenues recognized for the sale of refined products, we did not make such an adjustment to retained earnings. Please read Note 5—Revenue Recognition for further information. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”) and ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). The primary purpose of ASU 2016-15 was to reduce the diversity in practice relating to eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-18 required that an entity include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents within its statement of cash flows and in the reconciliation to the statement of operations. As the new guidance must be applied using a retrospective transition method, we have also retrospectively revised the comparative period statement of cash flows to reflect the adoption of these ASUs. The adoption of these ASUs did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). This ASU updated the definition of a business combination and provided a framework for determining whether a transaction involves an asset or a business. The adoption of this ASU changed the policy under which we perform our assessments and accounting for future acquisition or disposal transactions, including the Northwest Retail Acquisition and Hawaii Refinery Expansion. Please read Note 4—Acquisitions for further information. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). This ASU required entities to (1) disaggregate the current-service-cost component from the other components of net benefit cost (the “other components”) and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if that subtotal is presented. In addition, the ASU required entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other components if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines. As the other components of our net benefit cost are not material, we have not retrospectively revised our comparative periods presented in the statement of operations. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). The primary purpose of this ASU was to reduce the diversity in practice and cost and complexity in applying the guidance in Topic 718 related to the change to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“ASU 2018-05”). Under ASU 2018-05, an entity would estimate, to the extent possible, the impacts of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 (“U.S. tax reform”) and then adjust the estimates when better information is available or the amount becomes determinable over something similar to the measurement period under business combination guidance. This ASU was effective upon issuance. As of September 30, 2018, we believe the impacts of the U.S. tax reform have been reasonably estimated and recorded within our condensed consolidated financial statements.
