Item 8.01. Other Events.
CVR Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it expects its refinery in Coffeyville, Kansas
to operate at an average crude throughput of approximately 108,000 barrels per day for the quarter
ending June 30, 2011 versus the previously disclosed estimate of 115,000 barrels per day. The
Company’s refinery experienced a small fire at its continuous catalyst reformer (CCR)
in May 2011. As a result of the repairs determined to be necessary, the Company expects to operate
at the reduced crude throughput rate described above for the second quarter and may operate at
reduced crude throughputs until the refinery undergoes its previously scheduled turnaround in
October 2011. The refinery is currently running crude throughput of approximately 112,000 barrels
per day. Repairs to the damaged CCR are expected to cost approximately $3.4 million (before any
insurance recovery) and the Company does not anticipate the incident will otherwise have a material
long-term impact on its results of operations.
