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, 2020 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, 2020.
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. The worldwide spread and severity of the COVID-19 coronavirus and certain developments in the global crude oil markets have impacted our businesses, people, and operations. We are continuing to actively respond to these ongoing matters and many uncertainties remain. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of the situation, the full magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on our estimates and assumptions, financial condition, future results of operations, and future cash flows and liquidity is uncertain and has been and may continue to be material.
Allowance for Credit Losses | Allowance for Credit Losses We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our sales of refined products. Credit limits and/or prepayment requirements are set based on such factors as the customer’s financial results, credit rating, payment history, and industry, and are reviewed annually for customers with material credit limits. Credit allowances are reviewed at least quarterly based on changes in the customer’s creditworthiness due to economic conditions, liquidity, and business strategy as publicly reported and through discussions between the customer and the Company. We establish provisions for losses on trade receivables based on the estimated credit loss we expect to incur over the life of the receivable.
Cost Classification | Cost Classifications 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 Renewable Identification Numbers (“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. Certain direct operating expenses related to our logistics segment are also included in Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation).
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.
Benefit Plans | Benefit Plans We maintain defined benefit pension plans covering eligible Wyoming Refining employees and the employees of U.S. Oil covered by a collective bargaining agreement. In March 2021, the Wyoming Refining plan was amended (the “Plan Amendment”) to freeze all future benefit accruals for hourly plan participants. The Plan Amendment reduced the projected benefit obligation by $6.0 million. We recorded a $2.0 million Gain on curtailment of pension obligation in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and an unrealized actuarial gain of $4.0 million as Other post-retirement benefits income (loss), net of tax, in our condensed consolidated statements of other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The projected benefit obligation estimate was determined based on the present value of projected future benefit payments similar to the evaluation done for the estimate as of December 31, 2021. In determining the discount rate, we used pricing and yield information for high-quality corporate bonds that result in payments similar to the estimated distributions of benefits from our plans. The weighted average discount rate used to determine benefit obligations increased from 2.65% to 3.25%, or 23%, from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021. The estimated rate of compensation increase remained 3.00%.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Principles Adopted | 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, 2020. Accounting Principles Adopted On December 31, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-14, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (“ASU 2018-14”), using the required retrospective transition method. This ASU amended, added, and removed certain disclosure requirements under FASB ASC Topic 715 “Compensation—Retirement Benefits.” Our adoption of ASU 2018-14 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures. On January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). We adopted this ASU under the prospective method and information that was presented prior to January 1, 2021 has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period. This ASU simplified the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to general principles and clarified and amended guidance to improve consistency under FASB ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes.” Our adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. On February 11, 2021, we elected to adopt ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”) and ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2021-01”) following our execution of an amendment to the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement which included transition guidance on the interest rate of the Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc. (“MLC”) receivable advances (“MLC receivable advances”) to U.S. Oil & Refining Co. and certain affiliated entities (collectively, “U.S. Oil”) to be based on another industry standard benchmark rate that will be effective upon the London Interbank Offered Rate’s (“LIBOR”) scheduled retirement at the end of 2021. These ASUs provide for optional expedients and allowable exceptions to GAAP to ease the potential burden in recognizing the effects of reference rate reform, especially in regards to the cessation of LIBOR. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are applicable to contract modifications that meet certain requirements and are entered into between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. Our adoption of ASUs 2020-04 and 2021-01 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
