Inventory Financing Agreements
Inventory Financing Agreements	7. Inventory Financing Agreements The Company is party to several agreements with Macquarie to support the operations of the Great Falls specialty asphalt facility, the Shreveport facility and the Montana Renewables facility (as amended, the “Supply and Offtake Agreements”). On March 20, 2023, Macquarie provided notice of Macquarie’s election of its right to terminate the Great Falls specialty asphalt facility and Shreveport facility agreements, in each case effective December 31, 2023. The Montana Renewables agreement was amended on September 26, 2023 to change the expiration date to October 3, 2023. The Supply and Offtake Agreements allow the Company to purchase crude oil, refined products and renewable feedstocks from Macquarie or one of its affiliates. Per the Supply and Offtake Agreements, Macquarie will provide up to 30,000 barrels per day of crude oil to the Great Falls specialty asphalt facility, 60,000 barrels per day of crude oil to the Shreveport facility, and 15,000 barrels per day of renewable feedstocks to the Montana Renewables facility. While title to certain inventories will reside with Macquarie, the Supply and Offtake Agreements are accounted for by the Company similar to a product financing arrangement; therefore, the inventories sold to Macquarie will continue to be included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets until processed and sold to a third party. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred an expense of $8.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively, for financing costs related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, which are included in interest expense in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred an expense of $23.1 million and $22.5 million, respectively, for financing costs related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, which are included in interest expense in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has provided cash collateral of $20.6 million related to the initial purchase of the Great Falls specialty asphalt facility, Shreveport facility and Montana Renewables facility inventory to cover credit risk for future crude oil deliveries and potential liquidation risk if Macquarie exercises its rights and sells the inventory to third parties. The collateral was recorded as a reduction to the obligations. The Supply and Offtake Agreements also include a deferred payment arrangement (“Deferred Payment Arrangement”) whereby the Company can defer payments on just-in-time crude oil purchases from Macquarie owed under the agreements up to the value of the collateral provided (up to 90% of the collateral inventory). The deferred amounts under the Deferred Payment Arrangement bear interest at a rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 3.25% per annum for the Shreveport facility and both Montana facilities. Amounts outstanding under the Deferred Payment Arrangement are included in obligations under inventory financing agreements in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the amount outstanding under the Deferred Payment Arrangement are included within cash flows from financing activities in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $47.0 million and $36.0 million of deferred payments outstanding, respectively. In addition to the Deferred Payment Arrangement, Macquarie advanced the Company an additional $5.0 million, which was paid back to Macquarie by the Company in the first quarter of 2023. No amounts advanced to the Company by Macquarie remained outstanding as of September 30, 2023.
