Tesoro Corporation Reports 2011 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

SAN ANTONIO - February 1, 2012 - Tesoro Corporation (NYSE:TSO) today reported a fourth quarter 2011 net loss of $124 million, or $0.89 per diluted share compared to net income of $3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2010.

For the full year 2011, the Company reported net income of $546 million, or $3.81 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $29 million, or $0.21 per diluted share for the full year 2010.

“The fourth quarter was a challenging period as a result of the dramatic change in crude oil price differentials,” said Greg Goff, President and CEO of Tesoro. “Despite the loss in the fourth quarter, our full year results were better than any year since 2007 when we posted similar earnings on a Tesoro Index that was 40% higher. The Company's strong performance for the year clearly demonstrates our ability to deliver fundamental improvements in the business.” With a strategic focus on operational efficiency and effectiveness, the Company increased refinery utilization rates, capturing additional gross margin while reducing manufacturing costs per barrel during 2011. The resulting strong free cash flow allowed the company to reduce debt by $328 million, further strengthening its balance sheet. The Company also increased the integration between refining and marketing and successfully launched Tesoro Logistics LP (NYSE:TLLP).

For the fourth quarter, the Company recorded a segment operating loss of $96 million, compared to segment operating income of $85 million, excluding business interruption and property damage insurance proceeds, net of costs related to repair work at the Anacortes refinery and the write-off of goodwill at the Hawaii refinery in the fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease in operating income is due primarily to an

extremely weak margin environment in California and the collapse of the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) to Brent crude oil spread.

The Tesoro Index was $7.50 per barrel (/bbl) for the fourth quarter, up slightly relative to a year ago. However, the Tesoro Index for the California region was a negative five cents per barrel, down more than $6/bbl relative to the fourth quarter of 2010. Unusually high prices for heavy California crude oil relative to light sweet crude oil negatively impacted the benchmark. During the quarter, heavy California crude oil traded at a narrow $1/bbl discount relative to Brent versus a wider discount of $7/bbl a year ago. Additionally, West Coast benchmark gasoline crack spreads declined nearly 50% relative to the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company captured a gross margin of $6.02/bbl.

The Company's margin underperformance relative to the Index was impacted by the collapse of the WTI to Brent crude oil spread. The discount of WTI to Brent during the fourth quarter narrowed by $18/bbl, dropping from $26/bbl at the end of September to $8/bbl at the end of December. This market price movement impacted fourth quarter results in two ways. First, by reducing benchmark margins at our refineries that run WTI-priced barrels. Second, by reducing the margin on long-haul foreign crude oil barrels indexed to WTI.

Total throughput in the quarter was 567 thousand barrels per day (mbpd) or 85% of total crude oil capacity. The decline from 609 mbpd or 92% of capacity in the third quarter of this year is due primarily to turnaround activity in the California and Pacific Northwest regions.

Direct manufacturing costs in the fourth quarter were $5.03/bbl, up $0.46/bbl from the third quarter of 2011, a result of higher maintenance spending and lower refinery throughput.

Retail fuel sales volumes in the fourth quarter were up 14% year-over-year reflecting growth in the Company's branded jobber and dealer business. Same store fuel sales during the quarter were essentially flat year-over-year. Retail operating income was $27 million, up $16 million from a year ago driven by higher fuel margins.

Corporate and unallocated costs, net of $2 million of corporate depreciation and excluding $21 million in stock-based compensation expense primarily associated with stock appreciation rights, were $36 million in the fourth quarter.

Capital Spending and Liquidity

Capital spending for the full year 2011 was $320 million. Turnaround spending for the full year was $109 million. Expectations for 2012 capital spending remain at $670 million, as expenditures related to the high-return capital program increase. Turnaround spending of $300 million in 2012 is projected. The Company ended the year with $900 million in cash on the balance sheet and remained undrawn on the parent company revolving credit facility with over $810 million of availability.

2012 Strategic Focus

“We delivered in 2011 what we set out to deliver,” said Goff. “But it was the first year of a multi-year plan. As we begin 2012, our strategic priorities remain the same. Our primary focus is to reinvest free cash flow in high-return capital projects that drive significant future earnings growth. We'll also continue to drive earnings improvements that are not dependent on capital spending and we remain focused on further strengthening our balance sheet with the planned retirement of the remaining $299 million of 6 1/4% senior notes due in November.” Full details of the 2012 business plan can be viewed in the December Analyst Day presentation posted on the Investor Relations section of the www.tsocorp.com website.

Plan to Sell Hawaii Operations

On January 10, 2012, Tesoro Corporation announced its intention to sell its Hawaii operations, including the 94 mbpd Kapolei refinery, operations at 32 retail stations and all associated logistical assets.

“Following a comprehensive analysis, we've determined that our business in Hawaii does not align with our strategic focus on the Mid‐Continent and West Coast,” said Goff. “While the Hawaii business is no longer in-line with our vision for Tesoro's future, there is no question that it offers value for the right investor.”

Tesoro Hawaii anticipates completing the sale no sooner than the second half of 2012, subject to regulatory and other approvals.

Refining and Marketing Integration

Tesoro recently closed on the purchase of 49 Albertson's Fuel Express retail stations from SUPERVALU, Inc. (NYSE: SVU). These stations are located in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming with total fuel sales of about 5 mbpd.

Management uses gross refining margin per barrel to evaluate performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate gross refining margin per barrel; different companies may calculate it in different ways. We calculate gross refining margin per barrel by dividing gross refining margin (revenue less costs of feedstocks, purchased refined products, transportation and distribution) by total refining throughput. Management uses manufacturing costs per barrel to evaluate the efficiency of refining operations. There are a variety of ways to calculate manufacturing costs per barrel; different companies may calculate it in different ways. We calculate manufacturing costs per barrel by dividing manufacturing costs by total refining throughput. Investors and analysts use these financial measures to help analyze and compare companies in the industry on the basis of operating performance. These financial measures should not be considered alternatives to segment operating income, revenues, costs of sales and operating expenses or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

(h)

Consolidated gross refining margin combines gross refining margin for each of our regions adjusted for other amounts not directly attributable to a specific region. Other amounts resulted in an increase of $2 million for both the three months ended December 31, 2011, and 2010, and $6 million and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Gross refining margin includes the effect of intersegment sales to the retail segment at prices which approximate market. Gross refining margin approximates total refining throughput times gross refining margin per barrel.


(i)	Includes manufacturing depreciation and amortization expense per throughput barrel of approximately $1.70 and $1.94 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $1.67 and $1.97 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


(j)	Sources of total refined product sales include refined products manufactured at our refineries and refined products purchased from third parties. The total refined product sales margins include margins on sales of manufactured and purchased refined products.

EBITDA represents earnings before interest and financing costs, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. We present EBITDA because we believe some investors and analysts use EBITDA to help analyze our cash flows including our ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations with respect to our indebtedness and use cash for other purposes, including capital expenditures. EBITDA is also used by some investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance and by management for internal analysis and as a component of the fixed charge coverage financial covenant in our credit agreement. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, earnings before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities.
