Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

COMMODITY PRICE RISK

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of feedstocks (primarily crude oil and corn), the products we produce (primarily refined petroleum products), and natural gas used in our operations. To reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows, we use commodity derivative instruments, including futures and options to manage the volatility of:

  • inventories and firm commitments to purchase inventories generally for amounts by which our current year inventory levels (determined on a LIFO basis) differ from our previous year-end LIFO inventory levels; and

  • forecasted purchases and/or product sales in order to lock-in such forecasted transactions at existing market prices that we deem favorable.

Our positions in commodity derivative instruments are monitored and managed on a daily basis by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy that has been approved by our board of directors.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount of gain or loss that would have resulted from a 10 percent increase or decrease in the underlying price for all of our commodity derivative instruments entered into for purposes other than trading with which we have market risk was not material. See Note 14 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for notional volumes associated with these derivative contracts as of September 30, 2021.

COMPLIANCE PROGRAM PRICE RISK

We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. To manage this risk, we enter into contracts to purchase these credits as appropriate. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount of gain or loss in the fair value of derivative instruments that would have resulted from a 10 percent increase or decrease in the underlying price of the contracts was not material. See Note 14 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion about these compliance programs.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The following table provides information about our debt instruments (dollars in millions), the fair values of which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates are presented. See Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our debt.

(b)As of September 30, 2021, our floating rate debt included $100 million associated with borrowings under the DGD Revolver, which is only available to the operations of DGD. DGD’s lender does not have recourse against us. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our floating rate debt included $627 million and $598 million, respectively, associated with borrowings under the IEnova Revolver for the construction of terminals in Mexico by Central Mexico Terminals. The IEnova Revolver is only available to the operations of Central Mexico Terminals. IEnova does not have recourse against us.

(c)See “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES—Other Matters Impacting Liquidity and Capital Resources—Contractual Obligations” for a discussion of the Mandatory Tender Date and maturity date of our GO Zone Bonds.

(d)As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had an interest rate swap associated with $26 million and $31 million, respectively, of our floating rate debt resulting in an effective interest rate of 3.85 percent as of each of those reporting dates. The fair value of the swap was immaterial for all periods presented.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions related to our international operations that are denominated in currencies other than the local (functional) currencies of those operations. To manage our exposure to these exchange rate fluctuations, we use foreign currency contracts. The following table provides information about our foreign currency contracts (dollars in millions) that, as of the dates set forth below, mature in 2021, the fair values of which are sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Currency abbreviations presented below are as follows: U.S. dollars (USD), Canadian dollars (CAD), and pounds sterling (GBP).
