DISPOSITIONS

Discontinued Operations

Terminal Dispositions. In January 2015, we sold our terminal in Alamogordo, NM with storage capacity of 0.1 million barrels for proceeds of $1.1 million. We classified the associated property, plant and equipment as “Assets held for sale” on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. In 2014, we divested our terminals in Mobile AL, Wilmington, NC and Dumfries, VA and our 75% interest in our facility in Mersin, Turkey (the Turkey Sale). We recognized a gain of $3.7 million on the Turkey Sale for the year ended December 31, 2014. We presented the results of operations for those facilities as discontinued operations.

We allocated interest expense of $0.8 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, to discontinued operations based on the ratio of net assets discontinued to consolidated net assets.

In connection with the decision to dispose of these terminal facilities, we determined that the estimated fair value, less cost to sell, was less than the carrying amount of each disposal group, resulting in an impairment loss of $102.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. We recorded the impairment loss in “Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax” on the consolidated statement of income. The impairment loss consisted of the following (in thousands of dollars):



Property, plant and equipment, net	$	68,213
Intangible assets, net (customer relationships)	6,856
Goodwill	27,460
Asset impairment loss	$	102,529

San Antonio Refinery Disposition. On January 1, 2013, we sold our fuels refinery in San Antonio, Texas (the San Antonio Refinery) and related assets for approximately $117.0 million (the San Antonio Refinery Sale) and recognized a gain of $9.3 million on the sale for the year ended December 31, 2013. We presented the results of operations for the San Antonio Refinery and related assets as discontinued operations.

The following table summarizes the results from discontinued operations:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2015		2014			2013
	(Thousands of Dollars)
Revenues	$	208	$	4,265		$	7,758
Income (loss) before income tax expense	$	774	$	(3,791	)	$	(106,033	)

2014 Asphalt Sale

On February 26, 2014, we sold our remaining 50% ownership interest in NuStar Asphalt LLC to Lindsay Goldberg LLC, a private investment firm (the 2014 Asphalt Sale). Effective February 27, 2014, NuStar Asphalt LLC changed its name to Axeon Specialty Products LLC (Axeon). As a result of the 2014 Asphalt Sale, we ceased applying the equity method of accounting. Therefore, the results of our investment in Axeon were reported in “Equity in earnings (loss) of joint ventures” in the consolidated statements of income through February 25, 2014. Upon completion of the 2014 Asphalt Sale, the parties agreed to: (i) convert the $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility provided by us to Axeon (the NuStar JV Facility) from a revolving credit agreement into a $190.0 million term loan (the Axeon Term Loan); (ii) terminate the terminal services agreements with respect to our terminals in Rosario, NM, Catoosa, OK and Houston, TX; (iii) amend the terminal services agreements for our terminals in Baltimore, MD and Jacksonville, FL; and (iv) transfer ownership of both the Wilmington, NC and Dumfries, VA terminals to Axeon. We ceased reporting transactions between us and Axeon as related party transactions in our consolidated financial statements on February 26, 2014. See Note 10 for additional information on the Axeon Term Loan.
