As part of a series of agreements entered into with unaffiliated parties in January 2023 with the objective to monetize certain tax credits under Section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“45Q Transaction”), the Partnership received a 50% interest in CVR-CapturePoint Parent, LLC (“CVRP JV”) in connection with a modification to a carbon oxide contract (“CO Contract”) with a customer. The Partnership applied the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model under FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, to its variable interest in CVRP JV and determined that CVRP JV is a VIE. While the Partnership concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of CVRP JV, it does have significant influence over CVRP JV’s operating and financial policies and, therefore, applied the equity method of accounting for its investment in CVRP JV.

The Partnership valued the equity interest received using a combination of the market approach and the discounted cash flow methodology with key inputs including the discount rate, contractual and expected future cash flows, and market multiples. The fair value of the consideration received, which was a non-recurring Level 3 measurement as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, was estimated to be $46.0 million in January 2023 based on the use of the Partnership’s own assumptions described above.

The Partnership deferred the recognition of the noncash consideration received at inception and has been recognizing the associated revenue proportionally as the performance obligations associated with the CO Contract are satisfied. Refer to Note 9

(“Revenue”) for further discussion. The Partnership has elected to record its share of the earnings or loss of CVRP JV one quarter in arrears. Distributions received from CVRP JV reduce the Partnership’s equity method investment and are recorded in the period they are received. The investment in CVRP JV is presented within Other long-term assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
