HollyFrontier Corporation Reports Quarterly Results
Dallas, Texas, November 1, 2017 ‑‑ HollyFrontier Corporation (NYSE:HFC) (“HollyFrontier” or the “Company”) today reported third quarter net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders of $272.0 million or $1.53 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to $74.5 million or $0.42 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
The third quarter results reflect special items that collectively increased net income by a total of $69.6 million. These items include a lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment that increased pre-tax earnings by $111.1 million, slightly offset by $4.2 million of pre-tax integration costs related to our Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc. (“PCLI”) acquisition.
Excluding these items, net income for the current quarter was $202.4 million ($1.14 per diluted share) compared to $74.7 million ($0.42 per diluted share) for the third quarter 2016, which excludes an after-tax inventory valuation charge of $0.2 million. Adjusted for these items, net income for the third quarter increased $127.7 million from the same period of 2016 driven by both higher sales volumes and refining margins combined with earnings attributable to our recently acquired PCLI operations totaling $22.6 million. For the current quarter, crude oil charges averaged 454,790 barrels per day (“BPD”) compared to 443,560 BPD for the third quarter of 2016. On a per barrel basis, consolidated refinery gross margin was $14.55 per produced barrel, a 48% increase compared to $9.83 for the third quarter of 2016. Total operating expenses for the quarter were $321.7 million compared to $256.2 million for the third quarter of last year and include $56.1 million in costs attributable to our PCLI operations.
HollyFrontier’s President & CEO, George Damiris, commented, “HollyFrontier's strong financial results reflect our ability to capitalize on the margins available during the third quarter. Additionally, PCLI operations performed well and we are reaching the conclusion of our integration project. To date, fourth quarter refining margins have held steady and we are looking forward to a strong finish to 2017.”
For the third quarter of 2017, net cash provided by operations totaled $312.0 million compared to $133.9 million in the third quarter of 2016. During the period, we declared and paid a dividend of $0.33 per share to shareholders totaling $58.8 million. At September 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $630.7 million, a $170.4 million increase over cash and cash equivalents of $460.3 million at June 30, 2017. Additionally, our consolidated debt was $2,236.5 million. Our debt, exclusive of Holly Energy Partners' debt, which is nonrecourse to HollyFrontier, was $991.4 million at September 30, 2017.

Segment Information
Our operations are organized into three reportable segments, Refining, PCLI and HEP. Our operations that are not included in the Refining, PCLI 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 HFC Asphalt (aggregated as a reportable segment). Refining activities involve the purchase and refining of crude oil and wholesale and branded marketing of refined products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel. These petroleum products are primarily marketed in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. Additionally, the Refining segment includes specialty lubricant products produced at our Tulsa refineries that are marketed throughout North America and are distributed in Central and South America. HFC Asphalt operates various asphalt terminals in Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
On February 1, 2017, we acquired PCLI, a Canadian-based producer of lubricant products such as base oils, white oils, specialty products and finished lubricants. The PCLI segment involves production operations, located in Mississauga, Ontario, and marketing of its products to both retail and wholesale outlets through a global sales network with locations in Canada, the United States, Europe and China.
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, terminals, tankage, loading rack facilities and refinery process units in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. At September 30, 2017, the HEP segment also includes a 75% interest in the UNEV Pipeline (an HEP consolidated subsidiary), a 50% ownership interest in each of the Frontier Pipeline, Osage Pipeline and the Cheyenne Pipeline and a 25% ownership interest in 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. Due to certain basis differences, our reported amounts for the HEP segment may not agree to amounts reported in HEP's periodic public filings.

Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
Reconciliations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA excluding lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments and PCLI acquisition and integration costs, incremental cost of products sold attributable to our PCLI inventory value step-up and net gain on foreign currency swaps ("Adjusted EBITDA") to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in financial statements.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income (loss) attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus (i) lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments (ii) incremental cost of products sold attributable to our PCLI inventory value step-up (iii) PCLI acquisition and integration costs (iv) goodwill and asset impairment charges (v) our RINs cost reduction related to our Cheyenne Refinery small refinery exemption and (vi) net gain on foreign currency swaps.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculations provided for under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; however, the amounts included in these calculations are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives 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 and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These are presented here because they are widely used financial indicators used by investors and analysts to measure performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants.
Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA and adjusted 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 non-cash effects of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments or 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 sold (exclusive of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment) 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 to facilitate delivery to certain locations or to meet delivery commitments.

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 cost. |
