CVR Energy Reports 2016 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results
And Announces Cash Dividend of 50 Cents


SUGAR LAND, Texas (Feb. 16, 2017) - CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CVI) today announced full year 2016 net income of $24.7 million, or 28 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $4,782.4 million, compared to net income for full year 2015 of $169.6 million, or $1.95 per diluted share, on net sales of $5,432.5 million. Full year 2016 adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $181.6 million compared to full year 2015 adjusted EBITDA of $498.8 million.

For the fourth quarter of 2016, the company reported net income of $7.1 million, or 8 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1,353.4 million, compared to a fourth quarter 2015 net loss of $45 million, or 52 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1,010.6 million.

Fourth quarter 2016 adjusted EBITDA was $22.8 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $35.6 million for the same period a year earlier.

“CVR Refining’s Coffeyville and Wynnewood refineries performed well during the 2016 fourth quarter, posting a combined crude throughput of 207,422 barrels per day (bpd),” said Jack Lipinski, CVR Energy’s chief executive officer. “CVR Partners’ Coffeyville and East Dubuque facilities also recorded high on-stream rates for the quarter.

“CVR Energy’s fourth quarter results were negatively impacted by seasonally weak refining margins and continued high Renewable Identification Number (RIN) expenses,” Lipinski said. “In addition, low nitrogen fertilizer pricing and a decrease in ammonia shipments due to unfavorable application conditions further impacted results.”

CVR Energy also announced a fourth quarter 2016 cash dividend of 50 cents per share. The dividend, as declared by CVR Energy’s Board of Directors, will be paid on March 6, 2017, to stockholders of record on Feb. 27, 2017.

CVR Energy’s fourth quarter cash dividend brings the cumulative cash dividends paid or declared for the 2016 full year to $2.00 per share.

Today, CVR Refining and CVR Partners announced that the partnerships will not pay a cash distribution for the 2016 fourth quarter.

(1)
Product pricing at gate represents net sales less freight revenue divided by product sales volume in tons and is shown in order to provide a pricing measure that is comparable across the fertilizer industry.

(2)
Gross tons produced for ammonia represent total ammonia produced, including ammonia produced that was upgraded into other fertilizer products. Net tons available for sale represent the ammonia available for sale that was not upgraded into other fertilizer products.

(3)
In addition to the produced ammonia, the Nitrogen Fertilizer segment acquired approximately 2,000 and 0 tons of ammonia during the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Nitrogen Fertilizer segment acquired approximately 10,000 and 29,300 tons of ammonia during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(4)
The cost per MMBtu excludes derivative activity, when applicable. The impact of natural gas derivative activity during the periods presented was not material.

(5)
On-stream factor is the total number of hours operated divided by the total number of hours in the reporting period and is included as a measure of operating efficiency.

Coffeyville Facility

Excluding the impact of the Linde air separation unit outages at the Coffeyville fertilizer facility, the on-stream factors for the three months ended December 31, 2015 would have been 100.0% for gasification, 100.0% for ammonia and 99.9% for UAN.

Excluding the impact of the full facility turnaround and the Linde air separation unit outages, the on-stream factors for the year ended December 31, 2015 would have been 99.9% for gasification, 97.7% for ammonia and 97.6% for UAN.

East Dubuque Facility

Excluding the impact of the full facility turnaround at the East Dubuque fertilizer facility, the on-stream factors at the East Dubuque fertilizer facility would have been 97.8% for ammonia and 97.1% for UAN for the post-acquisition period ended December 31, 2016.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s actual results in accordance with GAAP for the applicable periods, the Company also uses the non-GAAP financial measures noted above, which are reconciled to our GAAP-based results below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative for GAAP results. The adjustments are provided to enhance an overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance for the applicable periods and are indicators management believes are relevant and useful for planning and forecasting future periods.

Adjusted net income (loss) is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be substituted for net income (loss) as a measure of our performance but rather should be utilized as a supplemental measure of financial performance in evaluating our business. Management believes that adjusted net income (loss) provides relevant and useful information that enables external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in the review of our overall financial, operational and economic performance. Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share represents adjusted net income (loss) divided by weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted net income (loss) represents net income (loss), as adjusted, that is attributable to CVR Energy stockholders.

Refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel is a measurement calculated as the difference between the Petroleum segment’s net sales and cost of materials and other. Refining margin is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is important to investors in evaluating the refineries’ performance as a general indication of the amount above their cost of materials and other at which they are able to sell refined products. Each of the components used in this calculation (net sales and cost of materials and other) can be taken directly from our Petroleum segment's Statements of Operations. Our calculation of refining margin may differ from similar calculations of other companies in the industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In order to derive the refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel, we utilize the total dollar figures for refining margin as derived above and divide by the applicable number of crude oil throughput barrels for the period. We believe that refining margin is important to enable investors to better understand and evaluate the Petroleum segment’s ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in the review of our overall financial, operational and economic performance.

Refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel adjusted for FIFO impact is a measurement calculated as the difference between the Petroleum segment’s net sales and cost of materials and other adjusted for FIFO impact. Refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is important to investors in evaluating the refineries’ performance as a general indication of the amount above their cost of materials and other (taking into account the impact of the utilization of FIFO) at which they are able to sell refined products. Our calculation of refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact may differ from calculations of other companies in the industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Under the FIFO accounting method, changes in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in a favorable FIFO impact when crude oil prices increase and an unfavorable FIFO impact when crude oil prices decrease.

The calculation of refining margin and refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact for the three months and years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

Gross profit (loss) excluding flood insurance recovery is calculated as the difference between the Petroleum segment’s net sales, cost of materials and other, direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), major scheduled turnaround expenses and depreciation and amortization. Gross profit (loss) excluding flood insurance recovery per crude throughput barrel is calculated as gross profit (loss) excluding flood insurance recovery as derived above divided by the refineries’ crude oil throughput volumes for the respective periods presented. Gross profit (loss) excluding flood insurance recovery is a non-GAAP measure that should not be substituted for operating income (loss). Management believes it is important to investors in evaluating the refineries’ performance and the Petroleum segment’s ongoing operating results. Our calculation of gross profit (loss) excluding flood insurance recovery may differ from similar calculations of other companies in the industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to CVR Energy stockholders before consolidated (i) interest expense and other financing costs, net of interest income, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), (iii) depreciation and amortization, less the portion of these adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for consolidated (i) FIFO impact (favorable) unfavorable; (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iii) major scheduled turnaround expenses (that many of our competitors capitalize and thereby exclude form their measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA); (iv) (gain) loss on derivatives, net; (v) current period settlements on derivative contracts; (vi) flood insurance recovery; (vii) business interruption insurance recovery and (viii) transaction expenses associated with the East Dubuque Merger, less the portion of these adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be substituted for net income (loss) or cash flow from operations. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA enable investors to better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in reviewing our overall financial, operational and economic performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA represent EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA that is attributable to CVR Energy stockholders.

EBITDA for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015 was also adjusted for share-based compensation expense in calculating Adjusted EBITDA.  Beginning in 2016, share-based compensation expense is no longer utilized as an adjustment to derive Adjusted EBITDA as no equity-settled awards remain outstanding for CVR Energy or any of its subsidiaries, and CVR Partners and CVR Refining are responsible for reimbursing CVR Energy for their allocated portion of all outstanding awards.  Management believes, based on the nature, classification and cash settlement feature of the currently outstanding awards, that it is no longer necessary to adjust EBITDA for share-based compensation expense to derive Adjusted EBITDA. For comparison purposes we have also provided Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015 without adjusting for share-based compensation expense in order to provide a comparison to Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.

Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA by operating segment represents net income (loss) before (i) interest expense and other financing costs, net of interest income, (ii) income tax expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment represents EBITDA by operating segment adjusted for, as applicable (i) FIFO impact (favorable) unfavorable; (ii) share-based compensation, non-cash; (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) major scheduled turnaround expenses (that many of our competitors capitalize and thereby exclude form their measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA); (v) (gain) loss on derivatives, net; (vi) current period settlements on derivative contracts; (vii) flood insurance recovery; (viii) transaction expenses associated with the East Dubuque Merger and (ix) business interruption insurance recovery. We present Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment because it is the starting point for CVR Refining’s and CVR Partners’ calculation of available cash for distribution. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be substituted for net income (loss) as a measure of performance. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment enable investors to better understand CVR Refining’s and CVR Partners’ ability to make distributions to their common unitholders, help investors evaluate our ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in reviewing our overall financial, operational and economic performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently.

Beginning in 2016, share-based compensation expense is no longer utilized as an adjustment to derive Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA as no equity-settled awards remain outstanding for CVR Energy or any of its subsidiaries, and CVR Partners and CVR Refining are responsible for reimbursing CVR Energy for their allocated portion of all outstanding awards. Management believes, based on the nature, classification and cash settlement feature of the currently outstanding awards, that it is no longer necessary to adjust net income (loss) and EBITDA for share-based compensation expense to derive Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2015 would have been $(6.6) million and $31.9 million, respectively, without adjusting for share-based compensation expense of $3.7 million. Additionally, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2015 would have been $227.3 million and $486.0 million, respectively, without adjusting for share-based compensation expense of $12.8 million.
