“We are pleased with the overall results of our integrated business for the quarter, notwithstanding severe weather across our business and a crude oil pipeline outage in Salt Lake City, which combined had an impact of approximately $40 million pre-tax,” said Greg Goff, Chairman and CEO. “We are excited about the transformation of Tesoro through our pending acquisition of Western Refining and the value creation as a result of synergies. We expect to close the transaction soon and look forward to sharing additional information regarding synergies and integration plans.”

SEGMENT RESULTS
REFINING. Refining segment operating income was $34 million for the first quarter 2017 compared to an operating loss of $93 million in 2016. Segment EBITDA was $181 million compared to $53 million in 2016. First quarter 2016 segment operating income and segment EBITDA included a pre-tax loss of $147 million related to a LCM inventory adjustment. The refining gross margin for the Company’s Salt Lake City refinery was negatively impacted by a weather related crude oil pipeline disruption.

The Tesoro Index(a) was $12.40 per barrel during the first quarter with a gross refining margin of $701 million, or $9.44 per barrel. This compares to the Tesoro Index of $12.15 per barrel with a gross refining margin of $540 million, or $7.59 per barrel in the first quarter 2016. Other than the LCM impact in the first quarter 2016, the year-over-year increase in gross refining margin reflects favorable market conditions and better operating performance. Total refinery throughput for the quarter was 825 thousand barrels per day, or 92% utilization, compared to 782 thousand barrels per day, or 89% utilization for 2016. Manufacturing costs in the first quarter 2017 were $5.67 per barrel compared to $5.55 per barrel a year ago, slightly higher in 2017 primarily a result of higher energy costs.

LOGISTICS. Logistics segment operating income increased to $150 million in the first quarter 2017 from $119 million a year ago and segment EBITDA increased to $210 million from $175 million last year. Results include approximately $3 million of acquisition costs related to TLLP’s North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition which closed on January 1, 2017. The performance of Tesoro Logistics LP (NYSE: TLLP) was driven by contributions from the acquisitions of the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets, the Northern California Terminalling and Storage Assets completed in the fourth quarter 2016 and the Alaska Storage and Terminalling assets in the third quarter 2016. Results were partially offset by volume softness in the natural gas gathering and processing business due to production declines in the Rockies.

MARKETING. Marketing segment operating income was $133 million, segment EBITDA was $146 million and fuel margins were 9.6 cents per gallon in the first quarter 2017. This compares to operating income of $227 million, segment EBITDA of $239 million and fuel margins of 13.9 cents per gallon last year. Performance in the quarter was negatively impacted by lower fuel sales due to an abnormally rainy winter in California, partially offset by lower operating expenses. Tesoro continued to grow its branded station network by 3% to 2,513 with the addition of 77 stations over the last twelve months.

CORPORATE AND OTHER
Corporate and unallocated costs for the first quarter 2017 were $122 million and include $16 million of costs related to the pending acquisition and integration of Western Refining, Inc. (NYSE: WNR) announced in fourth quarter 2016. Net interest was $89 million in the first quarter 2017, which includes $17 million of additional interest related to the pending acquisition of Western Refining. The effective tax rate for the first quarter 2017 was 19.4%. Similar to the first quarter 2016, the tax rate in the quarter benefited from excess tax benefits related to equity compensation vesting of $14 million.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW
Tesoro ended the first quarter with $2.3 billion in cash and cash equivalents, which includes $1.6 billion of proceeds from the senior notes issued during the fourth quarter related to the announced acquisition of Western Refining. This was down from $3.3 billion at the end of 2016 primarily due to TLLP’s $705 million acquisition of the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets. Tesoro has $2.0 billion of availability under its revolving credit facility and an additional $1.0 billion of availability under its new revolving credit facility that is contingent on the close of the Western Refining acquisition. As a result of the senior notes issuance in the fourth quarter 2016 to fund the Western Refining acquisition, total debt, net of unamortized issuance

costs, was $6.6 billion or 44% of total capitalization at the end of the first quarter. Excluding TLLP debt and equity, total debt was $2.9 billion or 34% of total capitalization.

Capital spending for the first quarter 2017 was $181 million for Tesoro and $45 million for TLLP. Turnaround expenditures for the first quarter were $111 million. The Company now expects total capital expenditures for 2017 of approximately $1.1 billion given the delay in timing of permit approvals for the Company’s major projects. Total capital expenditures consist of $770 million at Tesoro and $325 million at TLLP. Expected turnaround expenditures for the full year 2017 continue to be $360 million.

The Company paid cash dividends of $65 million, or $0.55 per share, in the first quarter 2017. Additionally, Tesoro today announced that its board of directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.55 per share payable on June 15, 2017 to all holders of record as of May 19, 2017. Tesoro continues to maintain a strong balance sheet while investing in high-return capital projects, pursuing strategic acquisitions and returning cash to shareholders.

STRATEGIC UPDATE
WESTERN REFINING. In March, stockholders of both Tesoro and Western Refining voted to approve Tesoro’s expected acquisition of Western Refining. At separate special stockholders' meetings, Tesoro stockholders approved the issuance of shares of Tesoro common stock in connection with the expected acquisition, and stockholders of Western Refining approved the adoption of the previously disclosed agreement and plan of merger. Tesoro remains committed to delivering $350 to $425 million in annual synergies from operational improvements, value chain optimization and corporate initiatives, with the run rate to be achieved by the end of the second year following closing. The Company is confident in its ability to achieve these targets, given its strong track record of integrating operations and delivering on it commitments. Integration planning for the Western Refining acquisition is already underway and a planning team with representatives from both companies has been established to ensure an effective and efficient transition. Completion of the acquisition remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the waiting period applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The Company continues to expect the transaction to close in the second quarter of 2017. Tesoro looks forward to sharing additional information regarding integration and synergy delivery subsequent to the close of the transaction.

TLLP. In January, TLLP closed the previously announced North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition for approximately $705 million. This acquisition includes over 650 miles of crude oil, natural gas and produced water gathering pipelines, 170 MMcf per day of natural gas processing capacity and 18,700 barrels per day of fractionation capacity in the Williston Basin in North Dakota.

ANNUAL IMPROVEMENTS TO OPERATING INCOME. Tesoro reiterated its market assumptions for 2017, which include a Tesoro Index of $12 to $14 per barrel and Marketing segment fuel margins of 11 to 14 cents per gallon. The Company also reiterated its commitment to delivering an estimated $475 to $575 million of annual improvements to operating income in 2017 which is comprised of $395 to $475 million from growth and productivity and $80 to $100 million from higher throughput and other operational improvements. These improvements consist of $305 to $355 million in Refining, $125 to $150 million in Logistics and $45 to $70 million in Marketing. All of these improvements exclude any expected synergies from the proposed Western Refining acquisition.

(a)
As a performance benchmark, we utilize crack spreads and the Tesoro Index to measure the difference between market prices for crude oil and refined products. Crack spreads are a commonly used proxy within the industry to estimate or identify trends in gross refining margins, while the Tesoro Index is more specifically designed around Tesoro’s assets. Crack spreads and the Tesoro Index can fluctuate significantly over time as a result of market conditions and supply and demand balances. For example, The West Coast 321 crack spread is calculated using three barrels of Alaska North Slope crude oil (ANS) producing two barrels of Los Angeles CARB gasoline and one barrel of Los Angeles CARB diesel. In comparison the Tesoro Index uses several crude oils and approximately 8 to 10 products to provide a potentially closer representation of the trends in the available margin. Our actual gross refining margins differ from these crack spreads and the Tesoro Index based on the actual slate of crude oil we run at our refineries and the products we produce or yield.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Our management uses certain “non-GAAP” performance measures to analyze operating segment performance and “non-GAAP” financial measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our GAAP financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include:

EBITDA—U.S. GAAP-based net earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expenses
Segment EBITDA—a segment’s U.S. GAAP operating income before depreciation and amortization expenses plus equity in earnings (loss) of equity method investments and other income (expense), net
Debt to capitalization ratio excluding TLLP—the ratio achieved by dividing the net result of our consolidated debt less all debt owed by TLLP (both net of unamortized issuance costs) by the sum of our consolidated debt less TLLP’s total debt (both net of unamortized issuance costs) and our total equity less noncontrolling interest associated with the public ownership of TLLP

We present these measures because we believe they may help investors, analysts, lenders and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations and liquidity in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, including but not limited to:

our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded companies in the refining, logistics and marketing industries, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods;
our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

Management also uses these measures to assess internal performance, and we believe they may provide meaningful supplemental information to the users of our financial statements. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. See the tables below for reconciliations between each non-GAAP financial measure and its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY

The TLLP financial and operational data presented include the historical results of all assets acquired from Tesoro prior to the acquisition dates. The acquisitions from Tesoro were transfers between entities under common control. Accordingly, the financial information of TLLP contained herein has been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of the assets acquired in the acquisitions from Tesoro prior to the effective date of each acquisition for all periods presented. The TLLP financial data is derived from the combined financial results of the TLLP predecessor (the “TLLP Predecessor”). We refer to the TLLP Predecessor and, prior to each acquisition date, the acquisitions from Tesoro collectively, as “TLLP’s Predecessors.”

For the 2017 Quarter, TLLP had 21.1 Mbpd of gross natural gas liquids (“NGL”) sales under percent of proceeds (“POP”) and keep-whole arrangements. TLLP retained 7.4 Mbpd under these arrangements. The difference between gross sales barrels and barrels retained is reflected in cost of NGL sales resulting from the gross presentation required for the POP arrangements associated with the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets.
(i)
Included in cost of NGL sales for the 2017 Quarter were approximately $2 million of cost of sales related to crude oil volumes obtained in connection with the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets acquisition. The corresponding revenues were recognized in pass-thru and other revenue. As such, the calculation of the average margin on NGL sales per barrel excludes this amount.
(j)
TLLP segment operating expenses include amounts billed by Tesoro for services provided to TLLP under various operational contracts. Amounts billed by Tesoro totaled $39 million and $35 million for the 2017 Quarter and the 2016 Quarter, respectively. The net amounts billed include imbalance gains and reimbursements of $5 million and $7 million for the 2017 Quarter and the 2016 Quarter, respectively. These amounts are eliminated upon consolidation. TLLP segment third-party operating expenses related to the transportation of crude oil and refined products related to Tesoro’s sale of those refined products during the ordinary course of business are reclassified to cost of sales upon consolidation.
(k)
TLLP segment general and administrative expenses include amounts charged by Tesoro for general and administrative services provided to TLLP under various operational and administrative contracts. These amounts totaled $20 million and $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and are eliminated upon consolidation. General and administrative

17



expenses are reclassified to cost of sales as it relates to Tesoro’s sale of refined products in our statements of consolidated operations upon consolidation.
(l)
Volumes represent barrels sold under TLLP’s keep-whole arrangements, net barrels retained under its percent of proceeds (“POP”) arrangements and other associated products.
(m)
TLLP uses average margin per barrel, average revenue per MMBtu and average revenue per barrel to evaluate performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry.
Average margin on NGL sales per barrel - calculated as the difference between the NGL sales and the costs associated with the NGL sales divided by total NGL sales volumes.
Average gas gathering and processing revenue per MMBtu - calculated as total gathering and processing fee-based revenue divided by total gas gathering throughput.
Average crude oil and water gathering revenue per barrel - calculated as total crude oil and water gathering fee-based revenue divided by total crude oil and water gathering throughput.
Average terminalling revenue per barrel - calculated as total terminalling revenue divided by total terminalling throughput.
Average pipeline transportation revenue per barrel - calculated as total pipeline transportation revenue divided by total pipeline transportation throughput.

There are a variety of ways to calculate these measures; other companies may calculate these in a different way.

Management uses fuel margin per gallon to compare fuel results to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate fuel margin per gallon and different companies may calculate it in different ways. We calculate fuel margin per gallon by dividing fuel gross margin by total fuel sales volumes during the period presented. Fuel margin and fuel margin per gallon include the effect of intersegment purchases from the Refining segment.
