Financial Instruments and Risk Management [Abstract] |
Financial Instruments and Risk Management | 11. Financial Instruments and Risk Management Cash and Cash Equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is not materially different from their carrying amount because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Partnership measures the fair value of its exchange-traded commodity-related options and futures contracts using Level 1 inputs, the fair value of its commodity-related swap contracts and interest rate swaps using Level 2 inputs and the fair value of its over-the-counter commodity-related options contracts using Level 3 inputs. The Partnership’s over-the-counter options contracts are valued based on an internal option model. The inputs utilized in the model are based on publicly available information, as well as broker quotes. The following summarizes the fair value of the Partnership’s derivative instruments and their location in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively:

The Partnership had no posted cash collateral as of September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013 with its brokers for outstanding commodity-related derivatives. Concentrations. The Partnership’s principal customers are residential and commercial end users of propane and fuel oil and refined fuels served by approximately 710 locations in 41 states. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues during fiscal 2014, 2013 or 2012 and no concentration of receivables exists as of September 27, 2014 or September 28, 2013. During fiscal 2014, Crestwood Midstream Partners L.P., Targa Liquids Marketing and Trade and Enterprise Products Partners L.P. provided approximately 19%, 13% and 13% of our total propane purchases, respectively. No other single supplier accounted for more than 10% of the Partnership’s propane purchases in fiscal 2014. The Partnership believes that, if supplies from any of these suppliers were interrupted, it would be able to secure adequate propane supplies from other sources without a material disruption of its operations. Credit Risk. Exchange-traded futures and options contracts are traded on and guaranteed by the NYMEX and as a result, have minimal credit risk. Futures contracts traded with brokers of the NYMEX require daily cash settlements in margin accounts. The Partnership is subject to credit risk with over-the-counter swaps and options contracts entered into with various third parties to the extent the counterparties do not perform. The Partnership evaluates the financial condition of each counterparty with which it conducts business and establishes credit limits to reduce exposure to credit risk based on non-performance. The Partnership does not require collateral to support the contracts. Bank Debt and Senior Notes. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates the carrying value since the interest rates are adjusted quarterly to reflect market conditions. Based upon quoted market prices, the fair value of the Partnership’s 2020 Senior Notes, 2021 Senior Notes and 2024 Senior Notes was $263,250, $363,489 and $508,594, respectively, as of September 27, 2014.
