Valero Energy Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2010 Results
SAN ANTONIO, October 26, 2010 Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE: VLO) today reported income from
continuing operations of $292 million, or $0.51 per share, for the third quarter of 2010, compared
to a loss from continuing operations of $343 million, or $0.61 per share, for the third quarter of
2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, income from continuing operations was $721
million, or $1.27 per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $170 million, or
$0.32 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For all periods shown in the
accompanying tables, discontinued operations relate to the Delaware City, Delaware refinery which
was shut down in 2009 and sold in the second quarter of 2010.
Operating income in the third quarter of 2010 was $571 million, versus an operating loss of $238
million in the third quarter of 2009. The $809 million improvement in operating income was
primarily in the refining segment, where refining throughput margins improved to $7.87 per barrel,
an increase of $2.79 per barrel. The increase was mainly due to higher margins for diesel and
better discounts for low-quality feedstocks combined with higher throughput volumes compared to the
third quarter 2009.
Its great to report back-to-back profitable quarters, which is a reflection of the improvement we
have seen in our business over last year, said Valero Chairman and CEO Bill Klesse. For the most
part, our plants ran well in the third quarter, allowing us to take advantage of solid product
margins and better feedstock discounts. The fourth quarter is off to a good start as margins have
been strong for this time of year, and discounts remain favorable. As winter approaches,
distillate inventories both here and in Europe have been falling, which should also support
margins. Were well-positioned to capture these attractive margins as we have very little
maintenance-related downtime planned at our refineries during the fourth quarter.
Cost reductions continue to be a key priority, Klesse continued. We have achieved $140 million
in year-to-date cost savings, and we are on pace to reduce costs by a total of $185 million in
2010. In 2011, we expect to reduce costs throughout our ongoing businesses by another $100
million. When achieved, our 2009 through 2011 cumulative pre-tax costs savings are estimated at
$500 million. These reductions allow Valero to offset increases in our non-controllable costs,
which are always part of our business.
Valeros retail and ethanol segments continued to report impressive results. The retail segment
earned $105 million in operating income during the third quarter of 2010, nearly matching last
years record results. The companys ethanol segment also continued to
perform well with $47 million in operating income generated during the third quarter of 2010.

Regarding cash flows in the third quarter of 2010, capital spending was $508 million, of which $67
million was for turnaround and catalyst expenditures. Also in the third quarter, the company paid
$28 million in common stock dividends. The company ended the third quarter with $2.4 billion in
cash and temporary cash investments. Capital spending is expected to be approximately $2.3 billion
for the full-year 2010. The company has announced a preliminary capital spending estimate of $2.6
billion for 2011, which includes a decline in regulatory spending and an increase in spending for
economic growth projects.
Were excited about moving forward to unlock the earnings power of our economic growth projects,
said Klesse. These projects capitalize on our outlook for relatively high crude oil and low
natural gas prices, plus growing global demand for diesel. Using reasonable price assumptions, we
estimate that our projects will yield strong returns on investment and significant contributions to
earnings over the next few years.
Were also making progress on our strategic priorities. We have an agreement to sell the
Paulsboro refinery, and we anticipate closing on that sale in the fourth quarter. We also expect
to close on the sale of our investment in the Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline System in the fourth
quarter. In addition, we are continuing maintenance at our Aruba refinery, which should be ready
to restart in mid-December.
Klesse concluded, We will continue to look at additional refinery opportunities to change our
geographic footprint. Valero is a manufacturer of fuels and petrochemical feedstocks, and we
believe there are opportunities to improve the competitiveness of our portfolio and add shareholder
value. Regardless of what actions we pursue, we remain committed to a strong balance sheet and
maintaining our investment grade credit rating.

(1) | Valero acquired seven ethanol plants in the second quarter of 2009 and three ethanol plants in the first quarter
of 2010. The Statement of Income Data includes the results of operations of those plants commencing on their
respective acquisition or closing dates. The ethanol plants acquired in 2009 were purchased from VeraSun Energy
Corporation. Of the three plants acquired in the first quarter of 2010, two were purchased from ASA Ethanol
Holdings, LLC and the third was purchased from Renew Energy LLC. Ethanol production volumes reflected herein are
based on total production during each period divided by actual calendar days per period. |
|
(2) | During the fourth quarter of 2009, Valero permanently shut down its refinery in Delaware City, Delaware, and
wrote down the book value of the refinery assets to net realizable value. On June 1, 2010, Valero sold the
shutdown refinery assets and the terminal and pipeline assets also located in Delaware City to PBF Energy
Partners LP for $220 million in proceeds. The results of operations of the shutdown refinery are reflected as
discontinued operations for all periods presented. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, those results
include a gain of $92 million ($58 million after taxes) on the sale of the refinery assets. The gain primarily
resulted from the scrap value of the refinery assets and the reversal of certain liabilities recorded in the
fourth quarter of 2009 associated with the shutdown of the refinery, which will not be incurred because of the
sale. The terminal and pipeline assets previously associated with the refinery were not shut down and continued
to be operated until the date of their sale. The results of operations of those assets, including an
insignificant gain on the sale, are reflected in continuing operations for all periods presented. The refining
segment and Northeast Region operating highlights presented in this earnings release exclude the Delaware City
Refinery for all periods. |
|
(3) | General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes the recognition of a
favorable settlement with one of Valeros third-party insurers for $40 million. The settlement relates to
