The tables included in this release reconcile operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for each of our operating segments.
Crude Oil Logistics
The Partnership’s Crude Oil Logistics segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $52.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $30.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . Results for the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 improved compared to the same quarter in Fiscal 2019 due to increased volumes on Grand Mesa Pipeline and improved marketing margins. Financial volumes on Grand Mesa Pipeline averaged approximately 133,000 barrels per day during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to approximately 112,000 barrels per day in the prior year quarter.
Liquids
The Partnership’s Liquids segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $12.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $10.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . This increase was driven by increased volumes and product margins, which were partially offset by lower commodity prices. The increase in overall volumes and margin is primarily attributable to our business development efforts and the March 2019 acquisition of terminals in the northeast from DCP Midstream, LP .
Total product margin per gallon was $0.047 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $0.031 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . This increase was primarily the result of increased butane product margins due to increased volumes and margins on volumes sold into the export market through the newly acquired Chesapeake terminal, which were partially offset by decreasing propane prices over the quarter.
Propane volumes increased by approximately 11.5 million gallons, or 4.9%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . Butane volumes increased by approximately 29.5 million gallons, or 26.1%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . Other Liquids volumes increased by approximately 2.3 million gallons, or 1.9%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Water Solutions
The Partnership’s Water Solutions segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $41.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $38.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . The Partnership processed approximately 849,000 barrels of wastewater per day during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , a 7.7% decrease when compared to approximately 920,000 barrels of wastewater per day during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . The decrease in volumes is due to the sale of our Bakken and South Pecos water disposal businesses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 , which was partially offset by wastewater processed at facilities acquired from acquisitions and newly developed facilities. On July 2, 2019 , we closed the acquisition of the assets of Mesquite, which are expected to generate $110.0 million - $120.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA over the next year.
Revenues from recovered hydrocarbons, including the impact from skim oil hedges, totaled $17.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , an increase of $10.8 million from the prior year period. Skim oil volumes were lower primarily as a result of the sale of our Bakken and South Pecos water disposal businesses.
Refined Products and Renewables
The Partnership’s Refined Products and Renewables segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $(11.2) million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $3.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . The results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 were negatively impacted by lower inventory valuations resulting from lower Gulf Coast gasoline and diesel prices. The segment was also impacted by negative ethanol margins as a result of volatility in ethanol prices during the period.
Refined product barrels sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 totaled approximately 68.2 million barrels, an increase of approximately 15.7 million barrels compared to the same period in the prior year due to an increase in bulk sales volumes. Renewables barrels sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 totaled approximately 0.8 million, which was slightly lower than the same period in the prior year.
The Partnership announced a sale of a portion of this operating segment for approximately $300 million , which is expected to close by September 30, 2019 . Based on this transaction and the results to date, the Partnership is adjusting its Fiscal 2020 Adjusted EBITDA range for this segment to $15 million to $30 million .
Corporate and Other
Adjusted EBITDA for Corporate and Other was $(7.6) million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $(8.9) million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . The reduction in costs was due primarily to legal costs related to certain litigation matters that were resolved or litigated in Fiscal 2019.
Capitalization and Liquidity
Total debt outstanding, excluding working capital borrowings, was $1.693 billion at June 30, 2019 compared to $1.265 billion at March 31, 2019 , an increase of $427.8 million which primarily relates to the redemption of the Class A Preferred Units and growth capital expenditures during the period. The Partnership’s Leverage Ratio (as defined in our Credit Agreement) was approximately 3.47x at June 30, 2019 . On April 2, 2019 , the Partnership issued 1,800,000 of 9.625% Class C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units for net proceeds of $42.6 million and issued $450 million of 7.500% Senior Notes Due 2026 for net proceeds of $442.1 million . Net proceeds from the issuances were used to repay indebtedness under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility, a portion of which was re-borrowed to redeem all $240 million of the Class A Preferred Units at a total cost of $265.1 million , plus accrued and unpaid distributions.
Working capital borrowings totaled $895.0 million at June 30, 2019 compared to $896.0 million at March 31, 2019 , a decrease of $1.0 million . Total liquidity (cash plus available capacity on our revolving credit facility) was approximately $495.7 million as of June 30, 2019 .
First Quarter Conference Call Information
A conference call to discuss NGL’s results of operations is scheduled for 10:00 am Central Time on Thursday, August 8, 2019 . Analysts, investors, and other interested parties may access the conference call by dialing (800) 291-4083 and providing access code 1596898. An archived audio replay of the conference call will be available for 7 days beginning at 10:00 am Central Time on August 9, 2019 , which can be accessed by dialing (855) 859-2056 and providing access code 1596898.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
NGL defines EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to NGL Energy Partners LP , plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense. NGL defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or market adjustments, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gains and losses on early extinguishment of liabilities, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense, revaluation of liabilities, certain legal settlements and other. We also include in Adjusted EBITDA certain inventory valuation adjustments related to our Refined Products and Renewables segment, as discussed below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity or the ability to service debt obligations. NGL believes that EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating NGL’s ability to make quarterly distributions to NGL’s unitholders and is presented solely as a supplemental measure. NGL believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating NGL’s financial performance without regard to NGL’s financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis. Further, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as NGL defines them, may not be comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, or similarly titled measures used by other entities.
Other than for NGL’s Refined Products and Renewables segment, for purposes of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation, NGL makes a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives. During the period when a derivative contract is open, NGL records changes in the fair value of the derivative as an unrealized gain or loss. When a derivative contract matures or is settled, NGL reverses the previously recorded unrealized gain or loss and records a realized gain or loss. NGL does not draw such a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives of NGL’s Refined Products and Renewables segment. The primary hedging strategy of NGL’s Refined Products and Renewables segment is to hedge against the risk of declines in the value of inventory over the course of the contract cycle, and many of the hedges are six months to one year in duration at inception. The “inventory valuation adjustment” row in the reconciliation table reflects the difference between the market value of the inventory of NGL’s Refined Products and Renewables segment at the balance sheet date and its cost, adjusted for the impact of seasonal market movements related to our base inventory and the related hedge. NGL includes this in Adjusted EBITDA because the unrealized gains and losses associated with derivative contracts associated with the inventory of this segment, which are intended primarily to hedge inventory holding risk and are included in net income, also affect Adjusted EBITDA.
Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus maintenance capital expenditures, income tax expense, cash interest expense and other. Maintenance capital expenditures represent capital expenditures necessary to maintain the Partnership’s operating capacity. Distributable Cash Flow is a performance metric used by senior management to compare cash flows generated by the Partnership (excluding growth capital expenditures and prior to the establishment of any retained cash reserves by the Board of Directors) to the cash distributions expected to be paid to unitholders. Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions. This financial measure also is important to investors as an indicator of whether the Partnership is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain, or support an increase in, quarterly distribution rates. Actual distribution amounts are set by the Board of Directors.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated herein may constitute forward-looking statements. Actual results could vary significantly from those expressed or implied in such statements and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. While NGL believes such forward-looking statements are reasonable, NGL cannot assure they will prove to be correct. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that affect operations, financial performance, and other factors as discussed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission . Other factors that could impact any forward-looking statements are those risks described in NGL’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other public filings. You are urged to carefully review and consider the cautionary statements and other disclosures made in those filings, specifically those under the heading “Risk Factors.” NGL undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law.
NGL provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance that does not include certain charges and costs, which in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods, such as income taxes, interest and other non-operating items, depreciation and amortization, net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or market adjustments, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gains and losses on early extinguishment of liabilities, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense, revaluation of liabilities and items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods will have a significant impact on the Partnership’s Adjusted EBITDA, and the Partnership is not able to provide a reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income (loss) without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs and the Partnership believes that such reconciliation, if possible, would imply a degree of precision that would be potentially confusing or misleading to investors.

The tables included in this release reconcile operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for each of our operating segments.
Crude Oil Logistics
The Partnership’s Crude Oil Logistics segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $52.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $30.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . Results for the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 improved compared to the same quarter in Fiscal 2019 due to increased volumes on Grand Mesa Pipeline and improved marketing margins. Financial volumes on Grand Mesa Pipeline averaged approximately 133,000 barrels per day during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to approximately 112,000 barrels per day in the prior year quarter.
Liquids
The Partnership’s Liquids segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $12.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $10.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . This increase was driven by increased volumes and product margins, which were partially offset by lower commodity prices. The increase in overall volumes and margin is primarily attributable to our business development efforts and the March 2019 acquisition of terminals in the northeast from DCP Midstream, LP .
Total product margin per gallon was $0.047 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $0.031 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . This increase was primarily the result of increased butane product margins due to increased volumes and margins on volumes sold into the export market through the newly acquired Chesapeake terminal, which were partially offset by decreasing propane prices over the quarter.
Propane volumes increased by approximately 11.5 million gallons, or 4.9%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . Butane volumes increased by approximately 29.5 million gallons, or 26.1%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . Other Liquids volumes increased by approximately 2.3 million gallons, or 1.9%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Water Solutions
The Partnership’s Water Solutions segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $41.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $38.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . The Partnership processed approximately 849,000 barrels of wastewater per day during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , a 7.7% decrease when compared to approximately 920,000 barrels of wastewater per day during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . The decrease in volumes is due to the sale of our Bakken and South Pecos water disposal businesses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 , which was partially offset by wastewater processed at facilities acquired from acquisitions and newly developed facilities. On July 2, 2019 , we closed the acquisition of the assets of Mesquite, which are expected to generate $110.0 million - $120.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA over the next year.
Revenues from recovered hydrocarbons, including the impact from skim oil hedges, totaled $17.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , an increase of $10.8 million from the prior year period. Skim oil volumes were lower primarily as a result of the sale of our Bakken and South Pecos water disposal businesses.
Refined Products and Renewables
The Partnership’s Refined Products and Renewables segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $(11.2) million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $3.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . The results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 were negatively impacted by lower inventory valuations resulting from lower Gulf Coast gasoline and diesel prices. The segment was also impacted by negative ethanol margins as a result of volatility in ethanol prices during the period.
Refined product barrels sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 totaled approximately 68.2 million barrels, an increase of approximately 15.7 million barrels compared to the same period in the prior year due to an increase in bulk sales volumes. Renewables barrels sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 totaled approximately 0.8 million, which was slightly lower than the same period in the prior year.
The Partnership announced a sale of a portion of this operating segment for approximately $300 million , which is expected to close by September 30, 2019 . Based on this transaction and the results to date, the Partnership is adjusting its Fiscal 2020 Adjusted EBITDA range for this segment to $15 million to $30 million .
Corporate and Other
Adjusted EBITDA for Corporate and Other was $(7.6) million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $(8.9) million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 . The reduction in costs was due primarily to legal costs related to certain litigation matters that were resolved or litigated in Fiscal 2019.
Capitalization and Liquidity
Total debt outstanding, excluding working capital borrowings, was $1.693 billion at June 30, 2019 compared to $1.265 billion at March 31, 2019 , an increase of $427.8 million which primarily relates to the redemption of the Class A Preferred Units and growth capital expenditures during the period. The Partnership’s Leverage Ratio (as defined in our Credit Agreement) was approximately 3.47x at June 30, 2019 . On April 2, 2019 , the Partnership issued 1,800,000 of 9.625% Class C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units for net proceeds of $42.6 million and issued $450 million of 7.500% Senior Notes Due 2026 for net proceeds of $442.1 million . Net proceeds from the issuances were used to repay indebtedness under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility, a portion of which was re-borrowed to redeem all $240 million of the Class A Preferred Units at a total cost of $265.1 million , plus accrued and unpaid distributions.
Working capital borrowings totaled $895.0 million at June 30, 2019 compared to $896.0 million at March 31, 2019 , a decrease of $1.0 million . Total liquidity (cash plus available capacity on our revolving credit facility) was approximately $495.7 million as of June 30, 2019 .
First Quarter Conference Call Information
A conference call to discuss NGL’s results of operations is scheduled for 10:00 am Central Time on Thursday, August 8, 2019 . Analysts, investors, and other interested parties may access the conference call by dialing (800) 291-4083 and providing access code 1596898. An archived audio replay of the conference call will be available for 7 days beginning at 10:00 am Central Time on August 9, 2019 , which can be accessed by dialing (855) 859-2056 and providing access code 1596898.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
NGL defines EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to NGL Energy Partners LP , plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense. NGL defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or market adjustments, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gains and losses on early extinguishment of liabilities, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense, revaluation of liabilities, certain legal settlements and other. We also include in Adjusted EBITDA certain inventory valuation adjustments related to our Refined Products and Renewables segment, as discussed below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, as those items are used to measure operating performance, liquidity or the ability to service debt obligations. NGL believes that EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating NGL’s ability to make quarterly distributions to NGL’s unitholders and is presented solely as a supplemental measure. NGL believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors for evaluating NGL’s financial performance without regard to NGL’s financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis. Further, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as NGL defines them, may not be comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, or similarly titled measures used by other entities.
Other than for NGL’s Refined Products and Renewables segment, for purposes of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation, NGL makes a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives. During the period when a derivative contract is open, NGL records changes in the fair value of the derivative as an unrealized gain or loss. When a derivative contract matures or is settled, NGL reverses the previously recorded unrealized gain or loss and records a realized gain or loss. NGL does not draw such a distinction between realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives of NGL’s Refined Products and Renewables segment. The primary hedging strategy of NGL’s Refined Products and Renewables segment is to hedge against the risk of declines in the value of inventory over the course of the contract cycle, and many of the hedges are six months to one year in duration at inception. The “inventory valuation adjustment” row in the reconciliation table reflects the difference between the market value of the inventory of NGL’s Refined Products and Renewables segment at the balance sheet date and its cost, adjusted for the impact of seasonal market movements related to our base inventory and the related hedge. NGL includes this in Adjusted EBITDA because the unrealized gains and losses associated with derivative contracts associated with the inventory of this segment, which are intended primarily to hedge inventory holding risk and are included in net income, also affect Adjusted EBITDA.
Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus maintenance capital expenditures, income tax expense, cash interest expense and other. Maintenance capital expenditures represent capital expenditures necessary to maintain the Partnership’s operating capacity. Distributable Cash Flow is a performance metric used by senior management to compare cash flows generated by the Partnership (excluding growth capital expenditures and prior to the establishment of any retained cash reserves by the Board of Directors) to the cash distributions expected to be paid to unitholders. Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash distributions. This financial measure also is important to investors as an indicator of whether the Partnership is generating cash flow at a level that can sustain, or support an increase in, quarterly distribution rates. Actual distribution amounts are set by the Board of Directors.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated herein may constitute forward-looking statements. Actual results could vary significantly from those expressed or implied in such statements and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. While NGL believes such forward-looking statements are reasonable, NGL cannot assure they will prove to be correct. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that affect operations, financial performance, and other factors as discussed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission . Other factors that could impact any forward-looking statements are those risks described in NGL’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other public filings. You are urged to carefully review and consider the cautionary statements and other disclosures made in those filings, specifically those under the heading “Risk Factors.” NGL undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law.
NGL provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance that does not include certain charges and costs, which in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods, such as income taxes, interest and other non-operating items, depreciation and amortization, net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, lower of cost or market adjustments, gains and losses on disposal or impairment of assets, gains and losses on early extinguishment of liabilities, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition expense, revaluation of liabilities and items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods will have a significant impact on the Partnership’s Adjusted EBITDA, and the Partnership is not able to provide a reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income (loss) without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs and the Partnership believes that such reconciliation, if possible, would imply a degree of precision that would be potentially confusing or misleading to investors.

_________
(1)
Amount reflects the difference between the market value of the inventory of NGL’s Refined Products and Renewables segment at the balance sheet date and its cost, adjusted for the impact of seasonal market movements related to our base inventory and the related hedge. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for a further discussion.
(2)
Equity-based compensation expense in the table above may differ from equity-based compensation expense reported in the footnotes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Partnership’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Amounts reported in the table above include expense accruals for bonuses expected to be paid in common units, whereas the amounts reported in the footnotes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements only include expenses associated with equity-based awards that have been formally granted.
(3)
Amounts represent expenses we incurred related to legal and advisory costs associated with acquisitions, including amounts accrued related to the LCT Capital, LLC legal matter (as discussed in the footnotes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Partnership’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019), partially offset by reimbursement for certain legal costs incurred in prior periods.
(4)
Amounts represent the non-cash valuation adjustment of contingent consideration liabilities, offset by the cash payments, related to royalty agreements acquired as part of acquisitions in our Water Solutions segment.
(5)
Represents the accrual for the estimated cost of the settlement of the Gavilon legal matter (see the footnotes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Partnership’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019). We have excluded this amount from Adjusted EBITDA as it relates to transactions that occurred prior to our acquisition of Gavilon LLC in December 2013.
(6)
Amount for the three months ended June 30, 2019 represents non-cash operating expenses related to our Grand Mesa Pipeline, unrealized losses on marketable securities and accretion expense for asset retirement obligations. Amount for the three months ended June 30, 2018 represents non-cash operating expenses related to our Grand Mesa Pipeline, certain expenses related to discontinued operations, unrealized loss on marketable securities and accretion expense for asset retirement obligations.
(7)
Amounts represent interest expense payable in cash for the period presented, excluding changes in the accrued interest balance.
