Valero Energy Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results

SAN ANTONIO, July 23, 2013 – Valero Energy Corporation (“Valero,” NYSE: VLO) today reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $466 million, or $0.85 per share, for the second quarter of 2013 compared to net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $831 million, or $1.50 per share, for the second quarter of 2012. Included in the second quarter 2013 results were after-tax charges to general and administrative expenses of $20 million, or $0.04 per share, and income tax expense of $9 million, or $0.01 per share, related to the May 1 spinoff of CST Brands to Valero’s stockholders. Also included in general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2013 were after-tax charges of $34 million related to various environmental and legal matters.
Second quarter 2013 operating income was $808 million versus operating income of $1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower refining throughput margins caused by significantly lower discounts for heavy sour and light crude oil, higher natural gas costs, and higher costs of Renewable Identification Numbers to comply with the U.S. federal Renewable Fuel Standard.
Second quarter 2013 refining throughput volumes averaged 2.6 million barrels per day, a decrease of 52,000 barrels per day from the second quarter of 2012. Significant turnaround and planned maintenance activity occurred at Valero’s Quebec City, McKee, Meraux, and Port Arthur refineries in the second quarter of 2013.
“Valero performed well financially given the margin environment and maintenance activities,” said Valero Chairman and CEO Bill Klesse. “We also returned $364 million in cash to our stockholders through dividends and stock buybacks in the second quarter. On May 1, we spun off 80 percent of the outstanding equity in CST Brands to our stockholders. We also entered into long-term supply agreements with CST Brands, and they became Valero’s largest wholesale marketing customer.
“We recently completed two significant projects at our St. Charles refinery in connection with our strategy to increase production of high-quality diesel. At the end of June, we started up the Diamond Green Diesel joint venture biofuels plant, and in July, we started our new hydrocracker.”
Valero’s retail segment reported $39 million of operating income in the second quarter of 2013 prior to the May 1 spinoff of CST Brands. Subsequent to May 1, Valero reported its equity interest in the earnings of CST Brands as part of other income.

Valero’s ethanol segment reported operating income of $95 million in the second quarter of 2013 versus $5 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in operating income was due to a higher gross margin per gallon and higher production volumes.
Regarding cash flows in the second quarter of 2013, capital expenditures were $796 million, of which $162 million was for turnarounds and catalyst. Valero paid $109 million in dividends on its common stock and $255 million to purchase 6.5 million shares of its common stock. Also, Valero received approximately $550 million of net cash from the CST Brands transaction and retired $300 million of 4.75% notes that matured in June. Valero ended the second quarter of 2013 with $2.4 billion of cash and temporary cash investments, $6.6 billion in total debt, and approximately $3 billion available under its stock purchase authorizations.
Valero expects full-year 2013 capital expenditures, including turnarounds and catalyst, to be approximately $2.85 billion, of which $1.34 billion is for growth investments. For 2014, Valero expects capital expenditures, including turnarounds and catalyst, to be in the range of $2.5 billion to $3.0 billion.
“We continue to focus on our strategy to create long-term shareholder value,” Klesse said. “We plan to continue returning cash to stockholders via stock buybacks and dividends, and we also plan to strategically invest in logistics assets, hydrocracking, petrochemicals, and the processing of cost-advantaged lighter crude oil. We are evaluating the formation of a master limited partnership for our logistics assets, and we are also evaluating potential investments that leverage Valero’s existing assets to upgrade cost-advantaged natural gas and natural gas liquids into higher value products.”
Valero’s senior management will hold a conference call at 11 a.m. ET (10 a.m. CT) today to discuss this earnings release and provide an update on company operations. A live broadcast of the conference call will be available on the company’s web site at www.valero.com.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE



(a)
On May 1, 2013, Valero completed the separation of its retail business, creating an independent public company named CST Brands, Inc. (CST). The separation occurred by way of a pro rata distribution of 80 percent of the outstanding shares of CST common stock to Valero’s stockholders on May 1, 2013. Each Valero stockholder received one share of CST common stock for every nine shares of Valero common stock held at the close of business on the record date of April 19, 2013. As a result and effective May 1, 2013, Valero’s results of operations no longer include those of CST, except for Valero’s share of CST’s results of operations associated with the equity interest in CST retained by Valero, which is reflected in “Other income (expense), net” in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The nature and significance of Valero’s post-separation participation in the supply of motor fuel to CST represents a continuation of activities with CST for accounting purposes. As such, the historical results of operations related to CST have not been reported as discontinued operations in the Statement of Income Data.

(b)
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is due to costs of $30 million ($20 million after taxes) and $52 million ($34 million after taxes) related to cost incurred to effect the May 1, 2013 separation of CST and various environmental and legal matters, respectively.

(c)
Asset impairment losses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 include a $595 million loss on the write down of the Aruba Refinery and a $16 million loss related to equipment associated with a permanently cancelled capital project at another refinery. The total asset impairment loss of $611 million ($605 million after taxes) is reflected in refining segment operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2012, but it is excluded from operating costs per barrel and operating income per barrel for the refining segment and U.S. Gulf Coast region.

(d)
Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 includes $9 million in income tax expense related to the separation of CST.

(e)
We own a 50 percent interest in Diamond Green Diesel Holdings LLC (DGD) and have lent DGD $221 million to finance approximately 60 percent of the construction costs of a plant built by DGD that processes animal fats, used cooking oils, and other vegetable oils into renewable green diesel. The plant began operations at the end of June 2013. The plant is located next to our St. Charles Refinery in Norco, Louisiana.

We also own a 50 percent interest in PI Dock Facilities LLC (PI Dock) and have agreed to lend PI Dock up to $90 million to finance construction costs of a crude dock and certain shared facilities. PI Dock will construct and operate the crude dock and related facilities to be located on Pleasure Island, Texas, which is near our Port Arthur Refinery.

We consolidate the financial statements of these entities due to our controlling interests. The losses incurred by these entities that are attributable to the owners of the remaining interests are added back to net income to arrive at net income attributable to Valero stockholders.

(f)
The increase in corporate depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily related to the loss on the sale of certain corporate property.

(g)
Primarily includes petrochemicals, gas oils, No. 6 fuel oil, petroleum coke, sulfur, and asphalt.

(h)
The regions reflected herein contain the following refineries: U.S. Gulf Coast- Aruba, Corpus Christi East, Corpus Christi West, Houston, Meraux, Port Arthur, St. Charles, Texas City, and Three Rivers Refineries; U.S. Mid-Continent- Ardmore, McKee, and Memphis Refineries; North Atlantic- Pembroke and Quebec City Refineries; and U.S. West Coast- Benicia and Wilmington Refineries.
