HollyFrontier Corporation Reports Quarterly Net Income and Announces Special and Regular Cash Dividends

Dallas, Texas, August 6, 2014 ‑‑ HollyFrontier Corporation (NYSE:HFC) (“HollyFrontier” or the “Company”) today reported second quarter net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders of $176.4 million or $0.89 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $257.0 million or $1.27 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

HollyFrontier also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend in the amount of $0.50 per share, payable on September 15, 2014 to holders of record of common stock on August 27, 2014. In addition, the Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share. This dividend will be paid on September 25, 2014 to holders of record of common stock on September 2, 2014.

For the second quarter, net income attributable to our stockholders decreased by $80.6 million compared to the same period of 2013, principally reflecting lower second quarter refining margins. Refinery gross margins were $14.54 per produced barrel, a 28% decrease compared to $20.28 for the second quarter of 2013. Production levels averaged approximately 463,000 barrels per day (“BPD”) and crude oil charges averaged approximately 439,000 BPD for the current quarter. Operating expenses for the quarter were $271.7 million or $5.69 per barrel compared to $277.5 million or $6.09 per barrel for the second quarter of last year.

HollyFrontier’s President & CEO, Mike Jennings, commented, “We are pleased with our consistent refining operations and financial results for the quarter. Although refined product margins decreased compared to the prior year quarter, our margins are healthy and we expect further growth in North American crude oil production to continue to provide us with a structural crude advantage. Looking forward, this crude oil dynamic should favorably affect our operating margins and support our capital allocation strategy of providing significant cash distributions to our shareholders while also investing opportunistically in our growth.”

For the second quarter of 2014, net cash provided by operations totaled $326.6 million. During the period, we declared $0.32 regular (a 7% increase from our previous regular dividend of $0.30) and $0.50 special dividends to shareholders totaling approximately $163.0 million. At June 30, 2014, our combined balance of cash and short-term investments totaled $1.8 billion and our consolidated debt was $1.0 billion. Our debt, exclusive of Holly Energy Partners' debt, which is nonrecourse to HollyFrontier, was $188.6 million at June 30, 2014. We had no cash borrowings or outstanding principal under our credit facility during the quarter.

During the second quarter of 2014, we wrote down several assets, primarily at our Navajo, Cheyenne and Tulsa refineries, to the estimated net realizable value resulting in pre-tax charges of $31.0 million.  These charges resulted from our decision to sell, cease operating or no longer use certain assets.

The Company has scheduled a webcast conference call for today, August 6, 2014, at 8:30 AM Eastern Time to discuss second quarter financial results. This webcast may be accessed at: https://event.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1038354. An audio archive of this webcast will be available using the above noted link through August 20, 2014.

Segment Information

Our operations are organized into two reportable segments, Refining and HEP. Our operations that are not included in the Refining and HEP segments are included in Corporate and Other. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements and are included in Consolidations and Eliminations. The Refining segment includes the operations of our El Dorado, Tulsa, Navajo, Cheyenne and Woods Cross refineries and NK Asphalt and involves the purchase and refining of crude oil and wholesale and branded marketing of refined products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, specialty lubricant products, and specialty and modified asphalt. The petroleum products are primarily marketed in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States and northern Mexico. Additionally, specialty lubricant products produced at our Tulsa West facility are marketed throughout North America and are distributed in Central and South America. NK Asphalt manufactures and markets asphalt and asphalt products in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Texas and northern Mexico.

4




The HEP segment involves all of the operations of HEP, a consolidated variable interest entity, which owns and operates logistics assets consisting of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. Revenues are generated by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through its pipelines and by charging fees for terminalling petroleum products and other hydrocarbons, and storing and providing other services at its storage tanks and terminals. The HEP segment also includes a 75% interest in the UNEV Pipeline (an HEP consolidated subsidiary) and a 25% interest in the SLC Pipeline. Revenues from the HEP segment are earned through transactions with unaffiliated parties for pipeline transportation, rental and terminalling operations as well as revenues relating to pipeline transportation services provided for our refining operations.

(1)
Crude charge represents the barrels per day of crude oil processed at our refineries.
(2)
Refinery throughput represents the barrels per day of crude and other refinery feedstocks input to the crude units and other conversion units at our refineries.
(3)
Refinery production represents the barrels per day of refined products yielded from processing crude and other refinery feedstocks through the crude units and other conversion units at our refineries.
(4)
Includes refined products purchased for resale.
(5)
Represents crude charge divided by total crude capacity (BPSD). Our consolidated crude capacity is 443,000 BPSD.
(6)
Represents average per barrel amount for produced refined products sold, which is a non-GAAP measure. Reconciliations to amounts reported under GAAP are provided under “Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” below.
(7)
Transportation, terminal and refinery storage costs billed from HEP are included in cost of products.
(8)
Represents operating expenses of our refineries, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and pension settlement costs.
(9)
Represents refinery operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and pension settlement costs, divided by refinery throughput.

Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

Reconciliations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation provided for under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants.

Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA.

Reconciliations of refinery operating information (non-GAAP performance measures) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.

Refinery gross margin and net operating margin are non-GAAP performance measures that are used by our management and others to compare our refining performance to that of other companies in our industry. We believe these margin measures are helpful to investors in evaluating our refining performance on a relative and absolute basis.

Refinery gross margin per barrel is the difference between average net sales price and average cost of products per barrel of produced refined products. Net operating margin per barrel is the difference between refinery gross margin and refinery operating expenses per barrel of produced refined products. These two margins do not include the effect of depreciation and amortization. Each of these component performance measures can be reconciled directly to our consolidated statements of income.

Other companies in our industry may not calculate these performance measures in the same manner.

Refinery Gross and Net Operating Margins

Below are reconciliations to our consolidated statements of income for (i) net sales, cost of products and operating expenses, in each case averaged per produced barrel sold, and (ii) net operating margin and refinery gross margin. Due to rounding of reported numbers, some amounts may not calculate exactly.

(1)
We purchase finished products when opportunities arise that provide a profit on the sale of such products, or to meet delivery commitments.
(2)
We purchase crude oil that at times exceeds the supply needs of our refineries. Quantities in excess of our needs are sold at market prices to purchasers of crude oil that are recorded on a gross basis with the sales price recorded as revenues and the corresponding acquisition cost as inventory and then upon sale as cost of products sold. Additionally, at times we enter into buy/sell exchanges of crude oil with certain parties to facilitate the delivery of quantities to certain locations that are netted at carryover cost.
(3)
Other refining segment revenue includes the incremental revenues associated with NK Asphalt and miscellaneous revenue.
(4)
Other refining segment cost of products sold includes the incremental cost of products for NK Asphalt and miscellaneous costs.
(5)
Other refining segment operating expenses include the marketing costs associated with our refining segment and the operating expenses of NK Asphalt.
