Basis of Presentation
Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, LP (the Partnership) is a Delaware limited partnership formed in 2005 to own and operate the business conducted by its primary subsidiary Boardwalk Pipelines, LP (Boardwalk Pipelines) and its operating subsidiaries, which consists of integrated natural gas and natural gas liquids and other hydrocarbons (herein referred to together as NGLs) pipeline and storage systems.
On June 29, 2018, Boardwalk GP, LP (Boardwalk GP) announced that it elected to exercise its right pursuant to Section 15.1(b) of the Partnership’s Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended (the Limited Partnership Agreement) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (Common Units) not already owned by Boardwalk GP or its affiliates (Transaction Units) for a cash purchase price, determined in accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement, of
$12.06
per unit, or approximately
$1.5 billion
in the aggregate (Purchase Right). On July 18, 2018, Boardwalk GP purchased the Transaction Units. As a result of this transaction, the Partnership filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to voluntarily withdraw the Common Units from listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and from registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and also deregistered all of its Common Units and related equity-like securities which were authorized for sale under its effective registration statements. Subsequently, the Limited Partnership Agreement was amended which converted the Partnership's Common Units to common unit equivalents in the form of partnership interests. The Partnership’s Common Units were traded on the NYSE through July 17, 2018, under the symbol “BWP”. As of September 30, 2018, Boardwalk Pipelines Holding Corp. (BPHC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Loews Corporation (Loews), owned directly or indirectly,
100%
of the Partnership’s capital.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Partnership were prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position as of
September 30, 2018
, and
December 31, 2017
, and its results of operations and comprehensive income for the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2018
and
2017
, and changes in cash flows and changes in partners' capital for the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2018
and
2017
. Reference is made to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Partnership's
Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended
December 31, 2017
(
2017
Annual Report on Form 10-K
), which should be read in conjunction with these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies described in Note
2
of Part II, Item 8 of the Partnership's
2017
Annual Report on Form 10-K
are the same used in preparing the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the changes described in Note 2 below.
Certain amounts reported within
Total operating revenues
for the 2017 period have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation as a result of changes in accounting policies from the implementation of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, which was codified in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 (ASC 606) further described below. The effect of the reclassification decreased
Transportation
revenues and increased
Other
revenues by
$6.5 million
and
$18.2 million
for the three and
nine months
ended
September 30, 2017
. Additionally,
Storage, parking and lending
(PAL) revenues are now reported combined. These reclassifications and combinations had no impact on
Total operating revenues, Operating income
or
Net income
. Net income for interim periods may not necessarily be indicative of results for the full year.

Accounting Policies
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2018 - Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASC 606. ASC 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605), and requires the recognition of revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Partnership implemented ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, without adjustment to the comparative period information, which remains reported under ASC 605. Upon implementation, the Partnership recorded a cumulative reduction to partners’ capital of
$12.8 million
resulting from two items: (i) contracts which had changes to rates during the service period without corresponding changes in service levels provided by the Partnership, with an offsetting increase to other liabilities of
$6.4 million
, and (ii) the de-recognition of excess fuel received from customers which elected to have fuel retained in-kind, with an offsetting decrease to current gas stored underground of
$6.4 million
. Upon the implementation of ASC 606, most retained fuel was not considered additional consideration included in the transaction price. As a result, retained fuel is recorded as a reduction to fuel and transportation expense and will be recognized as
Other
revenue upon the physical sale of natural gas, when under ASC 605, fuel retained was recognized as part of
Transportation
revenue. The Partnership elected to apply ASC 606 to contracts with customers, and applicable amendments, which were not completed prior to the implementation date.
The following table summarizes the effect on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of
September 30, 2018
, and for the three and
nine months
ended

Revenue Recognition
Nature of Contracts
The Partnership primarily earns revenues from contracts with customers by providing transportation and storage services for natural gas and NGLs on a firm and interruptible basis. The Partnership also provides interruptible natural gas PAL services. The Partnership’s customers choose, based upon their particular needs, the applicable mix of services depending upon availability of pipeline and storage capacity, the price of services and the volume and timing of customer requirements. The maximum rates that may be charged by the majority of the Partnership’s operating subsidiaries are established through the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) cost-based rate-making process; however, rates actually charged by those operating subsidiaries may be less than those allowed by the FERC. Under the FERC regulations, certain revenues that the Partnership's subsidiaries collect may be subject to possible refunds to customers. Accordingly, during a rate case, estimated refund liabilities are recorded considering regulatory proceedings, advice of counsel and estimated risk-adjusted total exposure, as well as other factors. The Partnership's service contracts can range from one to twenty years although the Partnership may enter into shorter- or longer-term contracts, and services are invoiced monthly with payment from the customer generally expected within ten to thirty days, depending on the terms of the contract.
Firm Service Contracts
: The Partnership offers firm services to its customers. The Partnership’s customers can reserve a specific amount of pipeline capacity at specified receipt and delivery points on the Partnership’s pipeline system (transportation service) or can reserve a specific amount of storage capacity at specified injection and withdrawal points at the Partnership’s storage facilities (storage service). The Partnership accounts for firm services as a single promise to stand ready each month of the contract term to provide the committed capacity for either transportation or storage services when needed by the customer, which represents a series of distinct monthly services that are substantially the same with the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Although several activities may be required to provide the firm service, the individual activities do not represent distinct performance obligations because all of the activities must be performed in combination in order for the Partnership to provide the firm service.
The transaction price for firm service contracts is comprised of a fixed fee based on the quantity of capacity reserved, regardless of use (capacity reservation fee), plus variable fees in the form of a usage fee paid on the volume of commodity actually transported or injected and withdrawn from storage. Both the fixed and usage fees are allocated to the single performance obligation of providing transportation or storage service and recognized over time based upon the output measure of time as the Partnership completes its stand-ready obligation to provide contracted capacity and the customer receives and consumes the benefit of the reserved capacity, which corresponds with the transfer of control to the customer. The fixed fee is recognized ratably over the contract term, representative of the proportion of the committed stand-ready capacity obligation that has been fulfilled to date, and the usage fee is recognized upon satisfaction of each distinct monthly performance obligation, consistent with the allocation objective and based upon the level of effort required to satisfy the stand-ready obligation in a given month. Capacity reservation revenues derived from a firm service contract are generally consistent during the contract term, but can be higher in winter periods than the rest of the year based upon seasonal rates.
Interruptible Service Contracts
: In providing interruptible services to customers, the Partnership agrees to transport natural gas or NGLs for a customer when capacity is available. The Partnership does not account for interruptible services with a customer as a contract until the customer nominates for service and the Partnership accepts the nomination based upon available pipeline or storage capacity because there are no enforceable rights and obligations until that time. The nomination and acceptance process is a daily activity and acceptance is granted based upon priority of service and availability of capacity. Upon acceptance, the Partnership accounts for interruptible services similarly to its firm services.
The transaction price for interruptible service contracts is comprised of a variable fee in the form of a usage fee paid on the volume of commodity actually transported or injected and withdrawn from storage. The usage fee is allocated to the single performance obligation of providing interruptible service. Interruptible service revenues are generally recognized over time based on the output measure of volume transported or stored when services are rendered upon the successful allocation of the services provided to the customer’s account, which best depicts the transfer of control to the customer and satisfaction of the promised service. Interruptible services are recognized in the month services are provided because the Partnership has a right to consideration from customers in amounts that correspond directly to the value that the customer receives from the Partnership's performance. The rates charged may vary on a daily, monthly or seasonal basis.
Minimum Volume Commitment (MVC) Contracts
: Certain of the Partnership’s transportation or storage contracts require customers to transport or store a minimum volume of commodity over a specified time period. If a customer fails to meet its MVC for the specified time period, the customer is obligated to pay a contractually-determined deficiency fee based upon the shortfall between the actual volumes transported or stored and the MVC for that period. MVC contracts are similar in nature to a firm service contract where the performance obligation is a stand-ready obligation that is a series of distinct services that are substantially the same with the same pattern of transfer to the customer. The transaction price for an MVC is a fee for the volume of commodity actually transported or stored, which is allocated to each distinct monthly performance obligation, consistent with the allocation objective and based upon the level of effort required to satisfy the obligation of the transacted service in a given month. Revenues are generally recognized over time based on the output measure of volume transported or stored, with the recognition of the deficiency fee in the period when it is known the customer cannot make up the deficient volume in the specified period.
Other
: Periodically, the Partnership may enter into contracts with customers for the sale of natural gas or NGLs. The Partnership recognizes revenues for these transactions at the point in time of the physical sale of the commodity, which corresponds with the transfer of control of the commodity to the customer and the consideration is measured as the stated sales price in the contract.
Contract Balances
The Partnership records contract assets primarily related to performance obligations completed but not billed as of the reporting date. The Partnership records contract liabilities, or deferred income, when payment is received in advance of satisfying its performance obligations.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2018 - Retirement Benefits
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07,
Retirement Benefits - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost
(ASU 2017-07), which required entities to retroactively present the service cost component of net periodic postretirement benefit cost with other employee compensation costs in the income statement and present all other net periodic pension costs as a component of non-operating income. Effective January 1, 2018, the Partnership implemented ASU 2017-07 and reclassified
$0.8 million
and
$1.8 million
of other components of net periodic benefit cost for the three and
nine months
ended
September 30, 2017
, which resulted in an increase to
Miscellaneous other income, net
and
Administrative and general
expense
in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, with no impact on
Net income
.
Other
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
(ASU 2016-02), which will require, among other things, the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current GAAP. The amendments are to be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach,
but include an elective transition method that allows entities to initially apply the updated guidance as of the adoption date. The Partnership has elected to apply this elective transition method
. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Partnership is progressing with its project to evaluate the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements when implemented. ASU 2016-02 contains a practical expedient package, under which all criteria must be applied to all of its leases. The practical expedient package allows an entity to (i) not reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (ii) not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Partnership has elected to apply the practical expedient package to all of its leases.

Performance Obligations
The following table includes estimated operating revenues expected to be recognized in the future related to agreements that contain performance obligations that were unsatisfied as of
September 30, 2018
, as well as actual fixed fee revenues recognized for the fulfillment of performance obligations for the 2018 period for those same agreements. The amounts presented primarily consist of fixed fees or MVCs which are typically recognized over time as the performance obligation is satisfied, as in accordance with firm service contracts. Additionally, for the Partnership’s customers that are charged maximum tariff rates related to its FERC-regulated operating subsidiaries, the amounts below reflect the current tariff rate for such services for the term of the agreements; however, the tariff rates may be subject to future adjustment. The Partnership has elected to exclude the following from the table: (a) unsatisfied performance obligations from usage fees associated with its firm services because of the stand-ready nature of such services; (b) consideration in contracts that are recognized in revenue as invoiced, such as for interruptible services; and (c) consideration that was received prior to
September 30, 2018
, that will be recognized in future periods, such as recorded in contract liabilities.

:
Asset Disposition and Impairments
In May 2017, the Partnership sold its Flag City Processing Partners, LLC subsidiary, which owned the Flag City processing plant and related assets, to a third party for
$63.6 million
, including customary adjustments. The Partnership recognized losses and impairment charges, reported within
Total operating costs and expenses,
of
$47.1 million
on the sale.
Note

:
Gas and Liquids Stored Underground and Gas and NGLs Receivables and Payables
The operating subsidiaries of the Partnership provide storage services whereby they store natural gas or NGLs on behalf of customers and also periodically hold customer gas under PAL services. Since the customers retain title to the gas held by the Partnership in providing these services, the Partnership does not record the related gas on its balance sheet.
The operating subsidiaries of the Partnership also periodically lend gas to customers under PAL and certain firm services, and gas or NGLs may be owed to the operating subsidiaries as a result of transportation imbalances. As of
September 30, 2018
, the amount of gas owed to the operating subsidiaries of the Partnership due to gas imbalances and gas loaned under PAL and certain firm service agreements was approximately
7.9
trillion British thermal units (TBtu). Assuming an average market price during
September 2018
of
$2.83
per million British thermal unit, the market value of that gas was approximately
$22.4 million
. As of
September 30, 2018
, the amount of NGLs owed to the Partnership's operating subsidiaries due to imbalances was less than
0.1 million
barrels, which had a market value of approximately
$1.1 million
dollars. As of
December 31, 2017
, the amount of gas owed to the operating subsidiaries of the Partnership due to gas imbalances and gas loaned under PAL and certain firm service agreements was approximately
12.3
TBtu. As of
December 31, 2017
, there were
no
outstanding NGL imbalances owed to the operating subsidiaries. If any significant customer should have credit or financial problems resulting in a delay or failure to repay the gas owed to the operating subsidiaries, it could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

:
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) and Fair Value Measurements
AOCI
The Partnership had
no
outstanding derivatives at
September 30, 2018
, and
December 31, 2017
, but had
$4.0 million
and
$5.0 million
of
AOCI
related to cash flow hedges as of
September 30, 2018
, and
December 31, 2017
, which relate to settled treasury rate locks that are being amortized to earnings over the terms of the related interest payments, generally the terms of the related debt. The Partnership estimates that approximately
$0.9 million
of net losses from cash flow hedges reported in
AOCI
as of
September 30, 2018
, are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.
Financial Assets and Liabilities
The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value amounts included in the disclosures for financial assets and liabilities, which are consistent with those disclosed in the
2017
Annual Report on Form 10-K
:
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For cash and short-term financial assets, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
Long-Term Debt:
The estimated fair value of the Partnership's publicly traded debt is based on quoted market prices at
September 30, 2018
, and
December 31, 2017
. The fair market value of the debt that is not publicly traded is based on market prices of similar debt at
September 30, 2018
, and
December 31, 2017
. The carrying amount of the Partnership's variable-rate debt at
September 30, 2018
, and
December 31, 2017
, approximated fair value.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Partnership's financial assets and liabilities which were not recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of
September 30, 2018
, and
December 31, 2017
, were as follows (in millions):

Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings and Settlements
The Partnership's subsidiaries are parties to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management believes the disposition of these outstanding legal actions will not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Mishal and Berger Litigation
On May 25, 2018, plaintiffs Tsemach Mishal and Paul Berger (on behalf of themselves and the purported class, Plaintiffs) initiated a purported class action in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the Court) against the following defendants: the Partnership, Boardwalk GP, Boardwalk GP, LLC and BPHC (together, Defendants), regarding the potential exercise by Boardwalk GP of its Purchase Right.
On June 25, 2018, Plaintiffs and Defendants entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise and Settlement, subject to the approval of the Court (the Proposed Settlement). Under the terms of the Proposed Settlement, the lawsuit would be dismissed, and related claims against the Defendants would be released by the Plaintiffs, if BPHC, the sole member of the general partner of Boardwalk GP, elected to cause Boardwalk GP to exercise the Purchase Right and gave notice of such election as provided in the Limited Partnership Agreement within a period specified by the Proposed Settlement. On June 29, 2018, Boardwalk GP elected to exercise the Purchase Right and gave notice within the period specified by the Proposed Settlement. On July 18, 2018, Boardwalk GP completed the purchase of the Common Units pursuant to the Purchase Right as further described in Note 1.
On September 27, 2018, the Court denied approval of the Proposed Settlement. The Court has not set a schedule for further proceedings in the case.
Commitments for Construction
The Partnership’s future capital commitments are comprised of binding commitments under purchase orders for materials ordered but not received and firm commitments under binding construction service agreements. The commitments as of
September 30, 2018
, were approximately
$162.5 million
, all of which are expected to be settled within the next twelve months.
There were no substantial changes to the Partnership’s operating lease commitments, pipeline capacity agreements or capital lease obligation disclosed in Notes 4 and 10 of Part II, Item 8 of the Partnership’s
2017
Annual Report on Form 10-K
.

through

Common Units by BPHC and to reimburse BPHC up to a maximum amount of
$0.914

$16.0 million
accrued liability for future underwriting discounts and commissions that would be reimbursed to BPHC. However, due to the purchase of the Transaction Units by Boardwalk GP described in Note 1, the
