CVR Refining Reports 2016 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results


SUGAR LAND, Texas (Feb. 16, 2017) - CVR Refining, LP (NYSE: CVRR), a refiner and marketer of petroleum fuels, today announced net income of $15.3 million on net sales of $4,431.3 million for full year 2016, compared to net income of $291.2 million on net sales of $5,161.9 million for full year 2015. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for full year 2016 was $222.8 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $602.0 million for the previous year.

For the fourth quarter of 2016, the company reported a net loss of $10.7 million on net sales of $1,269.4 million, compared to a net loss of $122.2 million on net sales of $948.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the 2016 fourth quarter was $27.7 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $16.4 million for the 2015 fourth quarter.

“CVR Refining had strong 2016 fourth quarter operational performance,” said Jack Lipinski, chief executive officer. “The Coffeyville and Wynnewood refineries posted a combined crude throughput of 207,422 barrels per day (bpd), which exceeded the range of our outlook.

“As expected, refining margins for the fourth quarter were seasonally weak,” he said. “Renewable Identification Number (RIN) expenses under the broken Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program remained high in the fourth quarter and continue to be a serious concern for merchant refiners. As we have said many times, the RFS point of obligation must be expanded to include all blenders in order for the program to work as Congress originally intended.

“Moving forward, we are cautiously optimistic that the new administration will have a pragmatic approach to how it administers the RFS program,” Lipinski said. “Certainly, the drop in ethanol RIN prices from 2016’s high of $1.09 on Dec. 1 to yesterday’s settlement just under 49 cents proves our supposition that the RIN market is contrived.”

Consolidated Operations

Fourth quarter 2016 throughputs of crude oil and all other feedstocks and blendstocks totaled 223,266 bpd. Throughputs of crude oil and all other feedstocks and blendstocks for both refineries totaled 172,364 bpd for the same period in 2015.

Refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact per crude oil throughput barrel, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $7.32 in the 2016 fourth quarter, compared to $8.96 during the same period in 2015. Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), excluding major scheduled turnaround expenses, per crude oil throughput barrel, for the 2016 fourth quarter were $4.96, compared to $7.04 in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Distributions

CVR Refining will not pay a cash distribution for the 2016 fourth quarter. CVR Refining is a variable distribution master limited partnership. As a result, its quarterly distributions, if any, will vary from quarter to quarter due to several factors, including, but not limited to, its operating performance, fluctuations in the prices paid for crude oil and other feedstocks, as well as the prices received for finished products, RINs' expense and cash reserves deemed necessary or appropriate by the board of directors of its general partner.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our actual results in accordance with GAAP for the applicable periods, the Partnership also uses the non-GAAP financial measures noted above, which are reconciled to our GAAP-based results below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative for GAAP results. The adjustments are provided to enhance an overall understanding of the Partnership’s financial performance for the applicable periods and are indicators management believes are relevant and useful for planning and forecasting future periods.

Refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel is a measurement calculated as the difference between net sales and cost of materials and other. Refining margin is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is important to investors in evaluating our refineries’ performance as a general indication of the amount above our cost of materials and other at which we are able to sell refined products. Each of the components used in this calculation (net sales and cost of materials and other) can be taken directly from our Statements of Operations. Our calculation of refining margin may differ from similar calculations of other companies in our industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In order to derive the refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel, we utilize the total dollar figures for refining margin as derived above and divide by the applicable number of crude oil throughput barrels for the period. We believe that refining margin is important to enable investors to better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in the review of our overall financial, operational and economic performance.

Refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel adjusted for FIFO impact is a measurement calculated as the difference between net sales and cost of materials and other adjusted for FIFO impact. Refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is important to investors in evaluating our refineries’ performance as a general indication of the amount above our cost of materials and other (taking into account the impact of our utilization of FIFO) at which we are able to sell refined products. Our calculation of refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact may differ from calculations of other companies in our industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Under our FIFO accounting method, changes in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of our crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in a favorable FIFO impact when crude oil prices increase and an unfavorable FIFO impact when crude oil prices decrease.

The calculation of refining margin and refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact for the three months and years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

Gross profit (loss) excluding flood insurance recovery is calculated as the difference between net sales, cost of materials and other, direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), major scheduled turnaround expenses and depreciation and amortization. Gross profit (loss) excluding flood insurance recovery per crude oil throughput barrel is calculated as gross profit (loss) excluding flood insurance recovery as derived above divided by our refineries’ crude oil throughput volumes for the respective periods presented. Gross profit (loss) excluding flood insurance recovery is a non-GAAP measure that should not be substituted for operating income (loss). Management believes it is important to investors in evaluating our refineries’ performance and our ongoing operating results. Our calculation of gross profit (loss) excluding flood insurance recovery may differ from similar calculations of other companies in our industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. The calculation of gross profit (loss) excluding flood insurance recovery and gross profit (loss) excluding flood insurance recovery per crude oil throughput barrel for the three months and years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before (i) interest expense and other financing costs, net of interest income, (ii) income tax expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for (i) FIFO impact (favorable) unfavorable; (ii) share-based compensation, non-cash; (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) major scheduled turnaround expenses (that many of our competitors capitalize and thereby exclude form their measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA); (v) (gain) loss on derivatives, net; (vi) current period settlements on derivative contracts and (vii) flood insurance recovery. We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is the starting point for our calculation of available cash for distribution. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be substituted for net income (loss) or cash flow from operations. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA enable investors to better understand our ability to make distributions to our common unitholders, help investors evaluate our ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in reviewing our overall financial, operational and economic performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently.

A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months and years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

Available cash for distribution is not a recognized term under GAAP. Available cash should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income (loss) or operating income (loss) as a measure of operating performance. In addition, available cash for distribution is not presented as, and should not be considered, an alternative to cash flows from operations or as a measure of liquidity. Available cash as reported by the Partnership may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other entities, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Available cash begins with Adjusted EBITDA reduced for cash needed for (i) debt service; (ii) reserves for environmental and maintenance capital expenditures; (iii) reserves for major scheduled turnaround expenses and (iv) to the extent applicable, reserves for future operating or capital needs that the board of directors of our general partner deems necessary or appropriate, if any. Available cash for distribution may be increased by the release of previously established cash reserves, if any, and other excess cash, at the discretion of the board of directors of our general partner. Actual distributions are set by the board of directors of our general partner. The board of directors of our general partner may modify our cash distribution policy at any time, and our partnership agreement does not require us to make distributions at all.
