Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K, filed on April 3, 2019, by NGL Energy Partners LP, serves to update the presentation of historical financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2018. The filing reflects the impact of the divestiture of the company's Retail Propane segment.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. Instead, it details a reclassification of prior period results. The Retail Propane segment results are now presented as discontinued operations, with related assets and liabilities classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets for periods ending March 31, 2018, and 2017.
Management explicitly states that this reclassification had no impact on total consolidated assets, liabilities, equity, total consolidated net income (loss), or total cash flows for any of the periods presented.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
- Segment Elimination: The Retail Propane segment was fully divested through sales to DCC LPG (March 30, 2018), Superior Plus Corp. (July 10, 2018), and the sale of Victory Propane, LLC (August 14, 2018).
- Financial Presentation: Prior period financial statements have been revised to reflect the segment as discontinued operations rather than continuing operations.
- Document Revision: Selected Financial Data, Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), Market Risk disclosures, and Financial Statements in the 2018 Annual Report are being superseded by the revised sections filed as Exhibit 99.1.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
This filing does not contain new guidance, outlook, or management commentary regarding future operations. It explicitly states that it does not update the MD&A for any information, uncertainties, transactions, risks, or events occurring after the 2018 Annual Report date, other than the specific reclassification described. Investors are directed to more recent Quarterly Reports (Form 10-Q) for current information.
