Valero Energy Reports Second Quarter 2014 Results
SAN ANTONIO, July 30, 2014 – Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE: VLO, “Valero”) today reported net income from continuing operations attributable to Valero stockholders of $651 million, or $1.22 per share, for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $463 million, or $0.84 per share, for the second quarter of 2013. For all periods shown in the accompanying tables, the results of operations reflect the Aruba refinery as discontinued operations. Valero recognized $63 million in charges in the second quarter of 2014 associated with recording asset retirement and other obligations related to our Aruba refinery.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2014 was approximately $1.1 billion versus $805 million in the second quarter of 2013. The $280 million increase in operating income was due primarily to higher refining throughput volumes and wider discounts relative to Brent crude oil for sour and certain North American light crude oils. These positive drivers were partially offset by weaker gasoline and distillate margins relative to Brent crude oil in most regions and higher natural gas costs in the second quarter of 2014 versus the second quarter of 2013.
Second quarter 2014 refining throughput volumes averaged 2.7 million barrels per day, an increase of 115,000 barrels per day from the second quarter of 2013. The increase in volumes was due primarily to less turnaround activity and higher utilization rates spurred by the availability of discounted North American light crude oil on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
“Valero delivered solid financial results for the quarter despite generally weaker product margins relative to Brent crude oil,” said Valero CEO and President Joe Gorder. “We continued to execute our strategy to reduce feedstock costs by processing additional volumes of cost-advantaged North American crude oil and investing in logistics assets to deliver those feedstocks to our refineries.”
Gorder continued, “We increased North American crude oil consumption at our Quebec City refinery to 83 percent in the second quarter of 2014 from 8 percent in the second quarter of 2013, so we are progressing well toward our previously stated goal of reaching 100 percent by year-end. We also began processing Canadian bitumen through our new crude-by-rail unloading facility at our St. Charles refinery.”
Ethanol operating income in the second quarter of 2014 was $187 million compared to $95 million in the second quarter of 2013. The $92 million increase in operating income was mainly due to higher gross margin per gallon driven by lower corn costs as a result of an abundant corn crop and lower industry ethanol inventories at the start of the quarter. Partially offsetting the increase in operating income was lower production volume resulting from rail congestion in the U.S. Mid-Continent.
“Our ethanol investments have continued to be strong performers, delivering a total of $430 million in operating income for the first half of 2014,” Gorder said. “We expect our eleventh ethanol plant, the Mount Vernon facility acquired in March of this year, to begin operating and contributing to the segment’s earnings in the third quarter.”

Regarding cash flows in the second quarter of 2014, capital expenditures were $806 million, of which $240 million was for turnarounds and catalyst. Valero paid $133 million in dividends on its common stock and $228 million to purchase 4.0 million shares of its common stock. The company repaid $200 million of debt that matured in April and ended the quarter with $6.4 billion in total debt and $3.5 billion of cash and temporary cash investments, of which $382 million was held by Valero Energy Partners LP, Valero’s majority-owned midstream master limited partnership. Subsequent to the second quarter of 2014, Valero continued to return cash to stockholders by purchasing 2.0 million shares of its common stock for $104 million and by increasing the regular quarterly cash dividend from $0.25 per share to $0.275 per share for the third quarter of 2014.
Also in the second quarter of 2014, Valero announced the sale of certain logistics assets to Valero Energy Partners LP for $154 million. This transaction closed on July 1 and represents the execution of Valero’s strategy to create stockholder value via Valero Energy Partners LP.
Valero expects 2014 capital expenditures, including turnarounds and catalyst, to be $3 billion, including approximately $870 million allocated to logistics investments - most of which are expected to be eligible for drop-down into Valero Energy Partners LP in the future.
“Given the strong North American crude oil production growth, we continue to focus the majority of our strategic capital on light crude oil processing capability and logistics,” Gorder said. “We expect our refineries to benefit from access to lower cost crude oil and higher netback product export markets. Also, our commitment to stockholders is clearly shown by our continued stock purchases and yesterday’s dividend increase announcement.”
Valero’s senior management will hold a conference call at 10 a.m. ET 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.

NOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE
(a) | In May 2014, we decided to abandon our Aruba Refinery, except for the associated crude oil and refined products terminal assets that we continue to operate. As a result of our decision, the results attributable to the Aruba Refinery operations have been presented as discontinued operations and the operating highlights for the refining segment and the U.S. Gulf Coast region exclude the Aruba Refinery for all periods presented. Even though we suspended refining operations in 2012, we continued to maintain the refining assets to allow them to be restarted and did not abandon them until our recent decision to no longer pursue options to restart refining operations. |
Because of our decision to abandon the refining assets, we believe the Government of Aruba (GOA) will enforce certain land lease provisions requiring us to dismantle the refinery assets. As a result, “Income (loss) from discontinued operations” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 include a charge of $59 million for an asset retirement obligation and a charge of $4 million for other contractual obligations. We had not recognized an asset retirement obligation previously due to our belief that the GOA would not enforce the lease provision as long as we intended to operate the refining assets.
(b) | The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 is due primarily to administrative expenses in 2013 associated with our former retail business that did not recur due to the separation of that business in May 2013, costs incurred in the second quarter 2013 to effect that separation, and costs related to various environmental and legal matters in the second quarter 2013. |
(c) | We consolidate the financial statements of the entities described below due to our controlling interests. The earnings (losses) incurred by these entities that are attributable to the owners of the noncontrolling interests are subtracted from (added back to) net income to arrive at net income attributable to Valero stockholders. |
• | Valero Energy Partners LP (VLP) - On December 16, 2013, VLP, a master limited partnership formed by us, completed its initial public offering of 17,250,000 common units representing a 29.4 percent limited partner interest in VLP. We own a 2 percent general partner interest and a 68.6 percent limited partner interest. For the periods presented, VLP’s assets include crude oil and refined petroleum products pipeline and terminal systems in the U.S Gulf Coast and U.S. Mid-Continent regions that are integral to the operations of our Port Arthur, McKee, and Memphis Refineries. |
