Delek US Holdings Reports First Quarter 2012 Results

Company reports record first quarter earnings of $0.79 per diluted share
 
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., May 2, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) - Delek US Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DK), a diversified energy company with assets in the petroleum refining, marketing and retail industries, today announced financial results for the first quarter 2012.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, Delek US reported net income from continuing operations of $46.2 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, versus net income from continuing operations of $16.9 million, or $0.31 per basic share, in the first quarter 2011.

Uzi Yemin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Delek US Holdings, remarked: “Today, we reported the best first quarter financial results in the history of the Company, supported by significant contributions from the Company's refining segment. The location of our refineries, in particular the Tyler refinery, allows us to access substantial volumes of WTI-linked crude oil, including discounted crude sourced from the Midland crude hub. In addition, we sell most of our light products based upon U.S. Gulf Coast prices which have remained elevated in recent months. Together, the Tyler and El Dorado refineries sold more than 141,000 barrels per day, exceeding our overall crude nameplate capacity, taking advantage of improved refining margins and increased asphalt prices in our markets.”

Crude oil differentials widened during the first quarter 2012, as illustrated by a marked disparity between the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and other crude oils. This positively impacted the benchmark Gulf Coast 5-3-2 crack spread, which averaged $23.87 per barrel during the first quarter 2012, compared to $17.54 per barrel during the same period last year.

During the first quarter we completed the acquisition of the Nettleton crude oil pipeline for $12.3 million, which is connected directly to our Tyler refinery and had previously been leased. This line carries approximately half of the crude oil processed in Tyler. In addition, we acquired a light products terminal in Big Sandy, Texas, and an associated pipeline for $11.0 million. The Big Sandy terminal will provide additional flexibility in marketing the Tyler refinery's finished products once it is re-commissioned.

As of March 31, 2012, Delek US had $235.1 million in cash and $441.2 million in debt, resulting in a net debt position of $206.1 million.

Yemin concluded, “We have made significant investments to expand our midstream businesses and improve our refining assets over the last year to better position the company for long-term success. At the same time, we have also demonstrated our commitment to shareholders by recently announcing our second special dividend in the last two quarters. As we continue to generate significant cash flow, we remain excited about our opportunities to deliver additional value to shareholders in the future.”

Refining Segment

Refining segment contribution margin increased to $116 million in the first quarter 2012, versus $54.3 million in first quarter 2011. During the first quarter 2012, the Tyler refinery generated $71.6 million in contribution margin, while the El Dorado refinery reported $44.4 million in contribution margin.

The year-over-year increase in segment contribution margin was attributable to the inclusion of the El Dorado results in the Company's consolidated statement of operations, improved Gulf Coast refined product margins and an increase in asphalt pricing. In addition, we benefited from our access to cost-advantaged domestic crude sources, such as Midland sweet crude, which traded on average $1.50 per barrel below the WTI Cushing benchmark crude during the first quarter of 2012.

Tyler, Texas Refinery

Total throughput at the Tyler refinery was 55,525 barrels per day in the first quarter 2012, versus 58,461 barrels per day in the first quarter 2011. Total sales volume was 56,840 barrels per day in the first quarter 2012, compared to 58,261 barrels per day in the first quarter 2011. The decreases were attributable to a planned maintenance shutdown that occurred during the last week of the quarter. Excluding the impact of this planned outage, the Tyler refinery operated at more than 90 percent of nameplate capacity during the first quarter 2012, versus 89.4 percent in the prior-year period.
 
Direct operating expense per barrel sold was $5.62 in the first quarter 2012, versus $5.59 in the first quarter 2011. The direct operating expense in the first quarter 2012 was negatively impacted by $3.3 million, which was directly associated with the planned maintenance shutdown. The maintenance work and associated catalyst change were necessary to enable the refinery to operate at the planned high utilization rates during the upcoming peak demand season.

Tyler's refining margin, excluding intercompany product marketing fees of $0.55 per barrel, was $20.03 per barrel sold in the first quarter 2012, compared to $16.42 per barrel sold for the same quarter last year.

During the first quarter, the Tyler refinery processed a crude slate that consisted primarily of West Texas Intermediate sourced via the Midland crude hub, in addition to other local domestic crude oils. Tyler produced 96.2 percent light products in the first quarter 2012.

El Dorado, Arkansas Refinery

Total throughput at the El Dorado refinery was 78,492 barrels per day in the first quarter 2012, versus 82,468 barrels per day in the fourth quarter 2011. Total sales volume increased to 85,011 barrels per day in the first quarter 2012, compared to 75,694 barrels per day in the fourth quarter 2011. El Dorado operated at 90.7 percent of nameplate capacity during the first quarter 2012, versus 95.4 percent in the fourth quarter 2011.

Direct operating expense per barrel sold was $3.31 in the first quarter 2012, a sequential decline of $0.34 versus the fourth quarter 2011. El Dorado's refining margin increased significantly to $9.04 per barrel sold in the first quarter 2012, compared to $2.09 per barrel sold in the fourth quarter 2011, supported by the widening differentials between WTI and Light Louisiana Sweet crude oils. No comparisons are made to the prior year period because the Company did not operate the El Dorado refinery during the prior year comparable period.

During the first quarter, the El Dorado refinery processed a crude slate consisting of local Arkansas crudes, West Texas crudes partly sourced via the Midland crude hub and offshore crudes. The El Dorado refinery produced 82.3 percent light products in the first quarter 2012.

Retail Segment

Retail segment contribution margin increased to $7.3 million in the first quarter 2012, versus $6.5 million in the first quarter 2011. First quarter 2012 results were positively impacted by same store merchandise sales growth of 7.6 percent. The sales growth was driven by the unusually warm winter weather in our markets, improved food service sales, as well as increased sales in nearly all merchandise categories.

Merchandise margin declined to 29.4 percent in the first quarter 2012, versus 30.8 percent in the prior-year period, primarily due to cigarette manufacturers' new retail pricing programs which began in April of last year.

At the conclusion of the first quarter 2012, the retail segment operated 375 locations, versus 404 locations at the end of the first quarter 2011.

Marketing Segment

Marketing segment contribution margin totaled $8.1 million in the first quarter 2012, versus $8.3 million in the first quarter 2011.

Total sales volume in our west Texas wholesale operation, excluding our new biodiesel and ethanol programs, increased by 5.8% to 15,383 barrels per day in the first quarter 2012, versus 14,535 in last year's first quarter. This increase was supported by increased demand for refined products in the regions we serve.

During the first quarter 2012, our Marketing segment began supplying bulk ethanol and biodiesel to our refineries and terminals, adding another growth opportunity to the segment. We supplied 4,210 barrels per day of renewable fuels to our facilities in the first quarter 2012.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Delek US reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures may provide users of financial information (i) increased transparency into the Company's operations; and (ii) additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. For these reasons, management is presenting certain adjustments to GAAP results in order to reflect the ongoing operations of the business. Management believes these measures will help investors better understand and evaluate the Company.
