2017 Acquisitions

Western Refining Acquisition and WNRL Merger
On June 1, 2017, we acquired Western Refining, Inc. (“Western Refining”) and the controlling interest in Western Refining Logistics LP (“WNRL”) (the “Western Refining Acquisition”). Additionally, on October 30, 2017, Andeavor Logistics acquired with WNRL by exchanging units of Andeavor Logistics for all outstanding common units of WNRL (the “WNRL Merger”). Refer to our discussion of the Western Refining Acquisition and WNRL Merger, including financial details relating to these transactions and the concurrent equity restructuring of our general partner and IDR interests held in Andeavor Logistics at the time of the WNRL Merger in Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

With the Western Refining Acquisition, we expanded our asset base and operations as follows:

Marketing segment: we added 544 stations to our branded network primarily under the SUPERAMERICA® and Giant® brands, including 457 company-operated stations and store management expertise to enable convenience store growth, and along with other strategic, immaterial acquisitions increased our store count to over 3,250 stations;
Logistics segment: through the acquisition of WNRL, we acquired assets that are strategically located providing for significant growth opportunities and access to advantaged crude oil. These assets include 705 miles of pipelines located in Permian Basin area of west Texas and southern New Mexico that gather and transport crude oil by pipeline, as well as by truck, from various production locations to the acquired El Paso, Texas and Gallup, New Mexico refineries and approximately 13 million barrels of crude oil, feedstock, blendstock, refined product and asphalt storage tanks supporting the acquired refineries and gathering pipelines; and
Refining segment: we acquired three refineries in El Paso, Gallup and St. Paul Park, Minnesota with a total refining capacity of 262 Mbpd bringing our capacity to 1.2 million barrels per day across ten refineries.

As of December 31, 2017, integration of these assets and operations continues. Refer to our discussion of each segment below for an understanding of how Western Refining’s assets and operations have been integrated with our existing operations.

North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets
On January 1, 2017, Andeavor Logistics acquired crude oil, natural gas and produced water gathering systems and two natural gas processing facilities from Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation, GBK Investments, LLC and WBI Energy Midstream, LLC (the “North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets”). The North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets include over 650 miles of crude oil, natural gas, and produced water gathering pipelines, 170 MMcf per day of natural gas processing capacity and 18.7 Mbpd of fractionation capacity in the Sanish and Pronghorn fields of the Williston Basin in North Dakota. With this acquisition, Andeavor Logistics expanded its assets in its Gathering and Processing business located in the Williston Basin area of North Dakota to further grow its integrated, full-service logistics capabilities in support of third-party demand for crude oil, natural gas and water gathering services as well as natural gas processing services. In addition, this extends Andeavor Logistics’ capacity and capabilities by adding new origin and destination points for its common carrier pipelines in North Dakota and extends our crude oil, natural gas and water gathering and associated gas processing footprint to enhance and improve overall basin logistics efficiencies.

andv_marketinga02.jpg Marketing

Our Marketing segment sells gasoline and diesel fuel in the western and mid-continent United States through Retail, Branded, and Unbranded channels along with convenience store products in our Retail channel. Our Retail business is made up of company-owned or leased properties offering fuel and convenience store products to end-consumers through company-operated stations and third party-operated stations (“MSOs”). The Branded business is comprised primarily of fuel sales through long-term contracts with Jobbers and Dealers utilizing one of the many successful brands in our portfolio. Our Retail and Branded channels primarily use the ARCO®, Shell®, Mobil and SUPERAMERICA® brands for fuel sales and ampm®, SUPERAMERICA® and Giant® brands for convenience stores. Capturing this brand value results in higher fuel margins for our Marketing segment. Our Unbranded business includes fuel sales through agreements with third-party distributors/operators without an associated fuel brand. The combined use of these channels provides both income from merchandise sales through convenience stores as well as a profitable outlet for the majority of the fuel produced by our refineries. In addition to added profitability, our Marketing business enables our refineries to run optimally, which lowers overall operating costs per barrel.

Western Refining Acquisition and WNRL Merger

With the Western Refining Acquisition and the subsequent WNRL Merger, our Marketing segment added 544 stations to our branded network, including 457 company-operated stations, and along with other strategic, immaterial acquisitions increased our store count to over 3,250 stations. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017 and following the WNRL Merger, our Marketing segment includes the wholesale fuel operations of WNRL for which prior period segment results have been recast to conform to the new presentation.

Mexico

In July 2017, we reached a definitive agreement with Pemex for terminalling and transportation services in Mexico, allowing the potential to supply up to 40 Mbpd of transportation fuels in the states of Sonora and Baja California, Mexico. Also in July, we announced a definitive agreement for the supply of fuel in the states of Sonora and Baja California, Mexico allowing Andeavor to begin wholesale marketing operations in Mexico using the ARCO® brand. These agreements support our integrated value chain by extending the marketing presence into the growing market in Mexico. We expect to increase our marketing presence across the entire northern part of Mexico over the next few years.

Competition

We sell gasoline through our network of branded retail stations as well as on an unbranded or wholesale basis. Our marketing operations compete with other independent marketers, integrated oil companies and high-volume retailers. Competitive factors that affect our Marketing segment include product price, location, convenience and brand appeal.

delivering crude oil, refined products and intermediate feedstocks from vessels to refineries and terminals;
loading and unloading crude oil transported by unit train to Andeavor’s Anacortes refinery;
loading and unloading from marine vessels and barges;
transferring refined products from terminals to trucks, barges, rail cars and pipelines;
providing ancillary services, ethanol blending and additive injection; and
handling petroleum coke for Andeavor’s Los Angeles refinery.

Andeavor Logistics typically enters into long-term contractual arrangements with customers for the provision of services. Many of these contracts have minimum volume commitments that must be met by the customer over a period of time. As of December 31, 2017, 90% of total shell capacity is dedicated for use by a specific customer. These commitments and dedications provide the terminalling and transportation business with stable, fee-based cash flow limiting the impact of seasonality.

Andeavor and its affiliates represent Andeavor Logistics’ largest customer. Approximately 92% of Andeavor Logistics’ terminalling and transportation revenues were from Andeavor and its affiliates, most of which were derived from contracts that include minimum volume commitments, and has provided approximately 43.1 million barrels of dedicated storage capacity for Andeavor’s refining operations under various agreements.

WNRL Assets and Operations

Terminalling and Transportation
Through the WNRL Merger, Andeavor Logistics’ terminalling and transportation business expanded to include the following WNRL assets and related operations:

Refined products terminals located in El Paso, Texas; Albuquerque, Bloomfield and Gallup, New Mexico; and St. Paul Park, Minnesota. The terminals distribute refined products supplied by an Andeavor refinery through truck loading racks, barge facilities, rail and other logistics assets;
Storage facilities located in El Paso, Gallup and St. Paul Park. Each facility is located adjacent to an Andeavor refinery and provides storage and transfer services required to support the refinery’s operations; and
Asphalt terminalling and processing services at our asphalt plant and terminal in El Paso, as well as at three stand-alone asphalt terminals in Albuquerque and Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. The El Paso asphalt plant is located adjacent to Andeavor’s El Paso refinery. WNRL’s assets also include a fleet of asphalt trucks, which are utilized to deliver asphalt to Andeavor's asphalt terminals and third-party customers.

Gathering and Processing
Additionally from the WNRL Merger, Andeavor Logistics’ gathering and processing business expanded to include the following WNRL assets and related operations:

Four Corners System - A pipeline system which includes pipelines in Northwestern New Mexico that gather and transport crude oil and condensate produced in the Four Corners area and deliver it to Andeavor’s Gallup refinery or to the TexNew Mex pipeline system. This Four Corners area crude oil is received at our Bloomfield terminal and at crude oil stations we own located in Bisti, Lybrook, Pettigrew and Star Lake, New Mexico;
Permian Basin System - A pipeline system which includes the Delaware Basin system and other crude oil gathering assets in West Texas. It consists of 39 miles of pipelines located in Southeast New Mexico and West Texas and handles crude oil produced in the Delaware Basin. The system includes other crude gathering assets in West Texas that handle crude oil produced in the Permian Basin. The TexNew Mex pipeline extends 299 miles from our Four Corners system to the Delaware Basin; and
Crude Trucking - A fleet of crude oil trucks, which are utilized to gather, transport and deliver crude oil from collection points in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah to Andeavor’s El Paso and Gallup refineries and their interconnected pipelines.

Competition

Andeavor Logistics’ competition primarily comes from independent terminal and pipeline companies, integrated petroleum companies, refining and marketing companies and distribution companies with marketing and trading arms. Competition in particular geographic areas is affected primarily by the volumes of refined products produced by refineries located in those areas, the availability of refined products and the cost of transportation to those areas from refineries located in other areas.

Andeavor Logistics may compete with third-party terminals for volumes in excess of minimum volume commitments under its commercial agreements with us and third-party customers as other terminals and pipelines may be able to supply our refineries or end user markets on a more competitive basis, due to terminal location, price, versatility and services provided. If our customers reduced their purchases of refined products from us due to the increased availability of less expensive product from other suppliers or for other reasons, we may only receive or deliver the minimum volumes through Andeavor Logistics’ terminals (or pay the shortfall payment if we do not deliver the minimum volumes), which would decrease our revenues.

Andeavor Logistics’ common carrier crude oil gathering and transport systems consist of common carrier pipelines in North Dakota and Montana (“High Plains System”) and common carrier pipelines in New Mexico and Texas (“Southwest System”), which gather and transport crude oil into major regional takeaway pipelines and refining centers. The High Plains System and Southwest System compete with a number of transportation companies for gathering and transporting crude oil produced in the Bakken Shale/Williston Basin area of North Dakota and Montana (“Bakken Region”) and the Delaware and Midland Basins (“Southwest Region”), respectively. Andeavor Logistics may also compete for opportunities to build gathering lines from producers or other pipeline companies. Other companies have existing pipelines that are available to ship crude oil and continue to (or have announced their intent to) expand their pipeline systems in the Bakken and Southwest Regions. Andeavor Logistics also competes with third-party carriers that deliver crude oil by truck.

Although Andeavor Logistics competes for third-party shipments of crude oil on the High Plains System and Southwest System, contractual relationships with us under the High Plains transportation services agreement (the “High Plains Pipeline Transportation Services Agreement”), Southwest pipeline and gathering services agreement (the “Southwest Pipeline and Gathering Services Agreement”) and related connections to our refineries provide a strong competitive position in the regions.


 
 
December 31, 2017 | 11

Business

Andeavor Logistics’ competitors for natural gas gathering and processing include other midstream companies and producers. Competition for natural gas volumes and processing is primarily based on reputation, commercial terms, reliability, service levels, flexibility, access to markets, location, available capacity, capital expenditures and fuel efficiencies. In addition to competing for crude oil and natural gas volumes, Andeavor Logistics faces competition for customer markets, which is primarily based on the proximity of the pipelines to the markets, price and assurance of supply.

Safety

Terminal Safety
Terminal operations are subject to regulations under OSHA and comparable state and local regulations. Terminal facilities are operated in a manner consistent with industry safe practices and standards. The storage tanks that are at Andeavor Logistics’ terminals are designed for crude oil and refined products and are equipped with appropriate controls that minimize emissions and promote safety. Terminal facilities have response and control plans, spill prevention and other programs to respond to emergencies. Terminals are regulated under the Homeland Standards or USCG Transportation Act, which are designed to regulate the security of high–risk chemical facilities.

Pipeline Safety
Pipelines, gathering systems and terminal operations are subject to increasingly strict safety laws and regulations. The transportation and storage of refined products, natural gas and crude oil involve a risk that hazardous liquids or natural gas may be released into the environment, potentially causing harm to the public or the environment. The U.S. Department of Transportation, through the PHMSA and state agencies, enforces safety regulations governing the design, construction, operation, maintenance, inspection and management of our pipeline and storage facilities. These regulations require the development and implementation of pipeline integrity management programs, which include the inspection and testing of pipelines and the investigation of anomalies and if necessary, corrective action. These regulations also require that pipeline operation and maintenance personnel meet certain qualifications and that pipeline operators develop comprehensive spill response plans, including extensive spill response training for pipeline personnel.

Andeavor Logistics may incur significant costs and liabilities associated with repair, remediation, preventative or mitigation measures associated with its pipelines. These costs and liabilities might relate to repair, remediation, preventative or mitigating actions that may be determined to be necessary as a result of the testing program, as well as lost cash flows resulting from shutting down our pipelines during such repairs. Additionally, if Andeavor Logistics fails to comply with PHMSA or comparable state regulations, it could be subject to penalties and fines. If future PHMSA regulations impose new regulatory requirements on our assets, the costs associated with compliance could have a material effect on Andeavor Logistics’ operations.

While Andeavor Logistics operates and maintains pipelines consistent with applicable regulatory and industry standards, it cannot predict the outcome of legislative or regulatory initiatives, which could have a material effect on its operations, particularly by extending more stringent and comprehensive safety regulations to pipelines and gathering lines not previously subject to such requirements. While Andeavor Logistics expects any legislative or regulatory changes to allow us time to comply with new requirements, costs associated with compliance may have a material effect on operations.

Rail Safety
Andeavor Logistics’ rail operations are limited to loading and unloading rail cars at our facilities. Generally, rail operations are subject to federal, state and local regulations. Andeavor Logistics believes its rail car loading and unloading operations meet or exceed all applicable regulations.

Natural Gas Plant Safety
Natural gas processing plants and operations are subject to safety regulations under OSHA and comparable state and local requirements. A number of Andeavor Logistics’ natural gas processing facilities are also subject to OSHA’s process safety management regulations and the EPA’s risk management plan requirements. Together these regulations are designed to prevent or minimize the probability and consequences of an accidental release of toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive chemicals. A number of our facilities are also regulated under the Homeland Standards, which are designed to regulate the security of high-risk chemical facilities. Andeavor Logistics’ natural gas processing plants and operations are operated in a manner consistent with industry safe practices and standards.

andvrefininga02.jpg Refining

Overview
We currently own and operate ten petroleum refineries located in the western and mid-continent United States with a combined crude oil capacity of approximately 1.2 million barrels per day. Our Refining segment buys and refines crude oil and other feedstocks into transportation fuels that we sell to a wide variety of customers. Demand for gasoline is higher during the spring and summer months than during the fall and winter months in most of our markets due to seasonal changes in vehicle miles

andvlogoprimarycolorrgba21.jpg
 

Business

traveled. As a result, our operating results for both the Refining and Marketing segments for the first and fourth quarters are typically lower than the second and third quarters.

Regions
We currently operate the Refining segment in three separate regions: California, Pacific Northwest and Mid-Continent. Our geographic footprint and physically integrated logistics and marketing businesses enable our refineries to interact across these regions providing higher asset utilization and lower operating costs while maintaining well-balanced product supplies to better serve our customers.

Feedstock Purchases
We purchase crude oil and other feedstocks from domestic and foreign sources either through the spot market or term agreements with renewal provisions and volume commitments. The domestic crude oil we purchase, which makes up 67% of our purchases based on volumes, is produced primarily in North Dakota, Alaska, California, Texas, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. The remaining 33% of our purchases consists of foreign crude oil produced in South America, the Middle East, Canada, western Africa, Asia and other locations.

Our refineries process both heavy and light crude oil. Light crude oil, when refined, produces a greater proportion of higher value transportation fuels such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, and as a result is typically more expensive than heavy crude oil. In contrast, heavy crude oil produces more low value by-products and heavy residual oils. These lower value products can be upgraded to higher value products through additional, more complex and expensive refining processes.

Refined Products
The total products produced in the refining process are referred to as the refining yield. The refining yield consists primarily of transportation fuels, including gasoline and gasoline blendstocks, jet fuel and diesel fuel, but may also include other products such as heavy fuel oils, liquefied petroleum gas, petroleum coke, calcined coke and asphalt.

Logistics Assets

Terminal and Pipelines
We transport, store and distribute crude oil, feedstocks and refined products through our terminals and pipelines or terminals and pipelines owned by Andeavor Logistics and third-parties in our market areas as well as through purchases and exchange arrangements with other refining and marketing companies. Our refineries are integrated with each other via pipelines, terminals and barges. The transportation links that connect our refineries allow for movement of intermediate and finished products, which permit us to optimize our value chain and maximize utilization.

Marine
We charter tankers to optimize the transportation of crude oil, feedstocks, and refined products to support our refinery system and ensure adequate shipping capacity. Our current U.S.-flag and foreign-flag tanker time charters will expire with varying dates between 2018 and 2022, unless we exercise renewal options. We also time charter tug and barge units and a ship assist tug with varying expiration dates through 2018, unless we exercise renewal options. We continually look to optimize our marine fleet and minimize costs, and from time to time we sub-charter vessels in our fleet to third-parties to maintain high utilization. All of our chartered tankers and barges are double-hulled.

Rail
We maintain a fleet of leased rail cars to transport crude and refined products in support of our refining operations.

Refined Product Sales

Our Marketing segment provides a committed outlet for the majority of gasoline as well as some of the diesel fuel produced by our refineries; however, we also sell gasoline and gasoline blendstocks, jet fuel, diesel fuel, heavy fuel oils and residual products in the western and mid-continental U.S. and northern Mexico. We also export bulk shipments of products into certain foreign markets. Our bulk sales are primarily to independent unbranded distributors, other refining and marketing companies, utilities, railroads, airlines and marine and industrial end-users. Our sales include refined products that we manufacture, purchase or receive through exchange arrangements.

Sales of Purchased Products
In the normal course of business, we purchase refined products manufactured by others for resale through our marketing and bulk operations to our customers to meet local market demands and fulfill supply commitments. We purchase these refined products, primarily gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel and industrial and marine fuel blendstocks, mainly in the spot market.

Competition

We obtain most of our crude oil from third-party sources and compete in the world market for the crude oil and feedstocks we process, and for the customers who purchase refined products. The availability and cost of crude oil and other feedstocks, as well as the prices of the products we produce, are heavily influenced by global supply and demand dynamics.

We compete with other refiners and with importers for customers in our market areas including sales of our distillate production through wholesale and bulk channels. Competition and concentrations specific to each of our refineries are:

Our Martinez, Los Angeles and Anacortes refineries compete with several refiners in the U.S., Canada and throughout the Pacific Rim;
Our Kenai refinery competes with two other in-state refineries along with refineries on the West Coast and in Asia. Our jet fuel sales in Alaska are concentrated in Anchorage, where we are one of the principal suppliers at the Anchorage International Airport; and
Our mid-continent refineries in Mandan, Dickinson, Salt Lake City, El Paso, Gallup and St. Paul Park compete with supplies provided from refineries in surrounding states and pipeline supply from the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions.

Government Regulation and Legislation

Regulatory Controls and Expenditures
Like other companies engaged in similar businesses, we are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state, regional and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the environment, including those governing emissions or discharges to land, air and water, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes and the remediation of contamination. While we believe our facilities are in substantial compliance with current requirements, we will continue to engage in efforts to meet new legislative and regulatory requirements applicable to our operations. Compliance with these laws and regulations may require us to make significant expenditures.


14 | 
andvlogoprimarycolorrgba21.jpg
 

Business

For example:

The EPA has promulgated multiple regulations to control greenhouse gas emissions under the Federal Clean Air Act. The first of these regulations, finalized on April 1, 2010, set standards for the control of greenhouse gas emissions from light trucks and cars. The U.S. Congress may also consider legislation regarding greenhouse gas emissions in the future.
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 mandates the blending of increasing amounts of renewable fuels in the supply of transportation fuels used domestically. This use of renewable fuels is required of all manufacturers and importers of transportation fuels sold domestically. The EPA implemented the RFS2 through regulation and RFS2 requires transportation fuel manufacturers to provide proof of purchase of these renewable fuels. The costs associated with RFS2 compliance are uncertain and fluctuate with market dynamics.
The EPA finalized amendments to the Clean Air Act Risk Management Planning regulations in 2016 significantly expanding the regulatory requirements.
The DOT issued new regulations in 2015 governing the design of rail cars used to transport petroleum and other materials.
In California, SB 32 set a new greenhouse gas emission reduction requirement of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. AB 197 mandated direct emission reductions of greenhouse gases from large stationary sources such as our refineries. AB 32, previously created a statewide cap on greenhouse gas emissions now replaced by SB 32 but also created a low carbon fuel standard, which requires a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity of fuels by 2020.
In California, the Board for the South Coast Air Quality Management District passed amendments to RECLAIM on December 4, 2015. The RECLAIM Amendments became effective in 2016 and required a staged reduction of Nitrogen Oxides through 2022.
In California, new and expanded Process Safety Management and Refinery Safety and Prevention regulations were proposed in 2016 in response to recommendations made in 2014 by the Governor’s Interagency Refinery Safety Working Group.

The impact of these and other regulatory and legislative developments is likely to result in increased compliance costs, additional operating restrictions on our business and an increase in the cost of the products we manufacture. Depending on market conditions, we may attempt to pass these costs on to consumers. If that is not possible, the changes could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, and liquidity. We cannot currently determine the amounts of such future impacts. For additional information regarding our environmental matters see “Environmental and Other Matters” in Item 7.

Oil Spill Prevention and Response
We operate in environmentally sensitive coastal waters, where tanker, pipeline, rail cars and other petroleum product transportation operations are regulated by federal, state and local agencies and monitored by environmental interest groups. The transportation of crude oil and refined products involves risk and subjects us to the provisions of the Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and related state requirements, which require that most petroleum refining, transport and storage companies maintain and update various oil spill prevention and oil spill contingency plans. Our spill prevention plans and procedures are frequently reviewed and modified to prevent releases and to minimize potential impacts to land and water should a release occur. We have submitted these plans and received federal and state approvals necessary to comply with the Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and related regulations. At our facilities adjacent to water, federally certified OSROs are available to respond to a spill on water from above ground storage tanks or pipelines. We have contracts in place to ensure support from the respective OSROs for spills in both open and inland waters, as well as on land.

We currently charter tankers to ship crude oil from foreign and domestic sources to our California, Washington and Alaska refineries. The tanker owners contract with OSROs to comply with federal, state and local requirements, except in Alaska where we contract with the OSROs. The OSROs are capable of responding to an oil spill equal to the greatest tanker volume delivering crude oil to our refineries. Those volumes range from 350,000 barrels to two million barrels.

We have entered into spill-response contracts with various OSROs to provide spill-response services, if required, to respond to a spill of oil originating from our facilities. We have spill-response agreements in Alaska with Cook Inlet Spill Prevention and Response, Incorporated and with Alyeska Pipeline Service Company. We also have entered into contracts with Marine Spill Response Corporation for the San Francisco Bay, Puget Sound, the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, and the Clean Rivers Cooperative, Inc. for the Columbia River, and Bay West, Inc. in our Mid-Continent region, which includes our new St. Paul Park refinery. We contract with H2O Environmental, Inc. for our El Paso and Gallup refineries which are supplied by pipeline. These OSROs are capable of responding to an oil spill on water equal to the greatest volume above ground storage tank at our facilities or pipelines. Those volumes range from 50,000 to 600,000 barrels. We also contract with one spill-response organization outside the U.S. to support our shipments in foreign waters. In addition, we contract with various spill-response specialists to ensure appropriate expertise is available for any contingency. We believe these contracts provide the additional services necessary to meet or exceed all regulatory spill-response requirements and support our commitment to environmental stewardship.

The OSROs we contract with have the highest available rating and certification from the U.S. Coast Guard and are required to annually demonstrate their response capability to the U.S. Coast Guard and state agencies. We maintain our own spill-response

resources to mitigate the impact of a spill from a tanker at our refineries until an OSRO can deploy its resources. Our spill response capability meets the U.S. Coast Guard and state requirements to either deploy on-water containment equipment two and one-half times the length of a vessel at our dock or have smaller vessels available.

The services provided by the OSROs principally consist of operating response-related equipment, managing certain aspects of a response and providing technical expertise. The OSROs provide various resources in response to an oil spill. The resources include dedicated vessels that have skimming equipment to recover oil, storage barges to temporarily store recovered oil, containment boom to control the spread of oil on water and land and to protect shorelines, and various pumps and other equipment supporting oil recovery efforts and the protection of natural resources. The OSROs have full-time personnel and contract with third parties to provide additional personnel when needed.

As a general matter, our agreements with these organizations do not contain specific physical or financial limitations. General physical limitations of these organizations would include the geographical area for which services are available and the amount of resources available at the initiation of a request for services or the duration of response and recovery efforts.

Additionally, we require all tankers and barges engaged in moving crude oil, heavy and finished products to be double hulled. All vessels used by us to transport crude oil and refined products over water are examined or evaluated and subject to our approval prior to their use.

Rail Car Safety
Andeavor maintains a fleet of leased rail cars to transport crude and support our refining operations. Generally, rail operations are subject to federal, state and local regulations. Andeavor has a significant number of new DOT120J200 tank cars in its crude oil fleet, which exceed the new federal standards issued by the DOT during 2015. The DOT regulations allow for an orderly phase out or retrofit of previous generation rail cars. We have retrofitted a significant portion of the previous generation of rail cars in our fleet to the new DOT117 standard. Andeavor will continue to comply with all regulatory requirements and explore and invest in tank car technology that provides a shared value for Andeavor, our rail carriers and the communities where we operate.

Regulation of Pipelines
Operations on portions of our pipelines are regulated by state agencies in Alaska and California. In addition, Andeavor Logistics owns and operates crude oil, refined product and natural gas pipelines, which are common carriers regulated by various federal, state and local agencies. The FERC regulates interstate transportation on Andeavor Logistics’ Four Corners System, High Plains System, Northwest Products Pipeline and natural gas pipeline, Permian Basin System and TexNew Mex System under the Interstate Commerce Act, the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and the rules and regulations promulgated under those laws.

Federal regulation of interstate pipelines extends to such matters as rates, services, and terms and conditions of service; the types of services offered to customers; the certification and construction of new facilities; the acquisition, extension, disposition or abandonment of facilities; the maintenance of accounts and records; relationships between affiliated companies; the initiation and continuation of services; market manipulation in connection with interstate sales, purchases or transportation of commodities; and participation by interstate pipelines in cash management arrangements.

The intrastate operation of Andeavor Logistics’ Alaska pipeline is regulated by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska. The state regulatory authorities require that we notify shippers of proposed tariff increases to provide the shippers an opportunity to protest the increases. In addition to challenges to new or proposed rates, challenges to existing intrastate rates are permitted by complaint of an interested person or by independent action of the appropriate regulatory authority. The intrastate operations of Andeavor Logistics’ High Plains System in North Dakota are regulated by the North Dakota Public Service Commission, its operations in the Four Corners system in New Mexico are regulated by the New Mexico Public Service Commission and its Permian Basin system operations in New Mexico and Texas are regulated by both the New Mexico Public Service Commission and the Texas Rail Commission. Applicable state law requires that pipelines operate as common carriers, that access to transportation services and pipeline rates be non-discriminatory, that if more crude oil is offered for transportation than can be transported immediately the crude oil volumes transported be apportioned equitably and that pipeline rates be just and reasonable.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors

The volatility of crude oil prices, refined product prices and natural gas and electrical power prices may have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and results of operations.

Our refining margins are influenced by the price of our refining feedstocks-crude oil and other feedstocks-and the price of our refined products. These prices often move independently of each other, which can negatively impact our margins, earnings or cash flows. In recent years, prices have fluctuated significantly due to global and local factors that are beyond our control, including:

production and availability of foreign and domestic crude oil and refined products;
production controls set and maintained by the members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries;
transportation infrastructure availability, local market conditions, operation levels of other refineries in our markets, and the import or export of crude and refined products;
political instability, threatened or actual terrorist incidents, acts of war, and other global political conditions;
domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes;
the price, availability and efficiency of competing energy sources;
local, regional, national and worldwide economic conditions; and
weather conditions, hurricanes or other natural disasters.

Some of these factors can vary by region and may change quickly, adding to market volatility, while others may have longer-term effects. The long-term effects of these and other factors on prices for crude oil, refinery feedstocks and refined products are uncertain and could negatively impact our margins, earnings or financial condition.

The short-term effects of these fluctuations could affect our margins, earnings and cash flows. We purchase our refinery feedstocks weeks before manufacturing and selling the refined products. Price level changes during the period between purchasing feedstocks and selling the refined products could affect our margins, earnings or cash flows. In addition, we purchase refined products manufactured by others to sell to our customers. If we are unable to manage our commodity exposure risk, it could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Lower refining margins may reduce the amount of refined products we produce, which may reduce our revenues, income from operations or cash flows. Significant reductions in margins could require us to reduce our capital expenditures or impair the carrying value of our assets.

Volatile prices for natural gas and electricity used by our refineries and other operations affect manufacturing and operating costs. Natural gas and electricity prices have been, and will continue to be, affected by supply and demand for fuel and utility services in both local and regional markets. In addition, the volume of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and NGLs that Andeavor Logistics distributes and stores at its terminals, transports and processes depends substantially on our and other customers’ profit margins, the market price of crude oil, natural gas, NGLs and other refinery feedstocks, and product demand.

Federal tax reform could adversely affect our business.

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed major tax legislation into law under the Tax Act. The Tax Act, known informally as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, reduces the statutory rate of U.S. federal corporate income tax to 21% and enacts numerous other changes impacting us and the oil and gas industry. We cannot predict the impact these changes will have on our business; however, it is possible that these changes could adversely affect our business, our cash flows, our profitability and our ability to compete domestically and internationally.

18 | 
andvlogoprimarycolorrgba21.jpg
 

Risk Factors

The reduction in the statutory U.S. federal corporate income rate is expected to positively impact our future U.S. after-tax earnings. Other changes in the Tax Act that broaden the tax base by reducing or eliminating deduction for certain items (e.g., reductions to dividends received deductions, elimination of deductions for income attributable to domestic production activities, limitations on business interest expense deduction, and limitations on the deduction of certain executive compensation costs) will offset a portion of the benefits from the lower statutory rate. The overall impact of the Tax Act is subject to the effect of other complex provisions in the Tax Act.

Additionally, we are subject to ongoing income tax audits. The taxing authorities may disagree with positions taken on our tax returns. Coupled with the change in tax rates from the Tax Act, this could result in an adverse effect to our effective income tax rate in the period of adjustment.

Furthermore, it is possible that the Tax Act will be subject to further changes either in a technical corrections bill or entirely new legislation. The overall impact of the Tax Act also depends on the future interpretations and regulations that may be issued by U.S. tax authorities. It remains difficult to predict whether or when there will be any tax law changes or further guidance by the authorities having a material adverse effect on our financial conditions or results of operations, as the impact of broad proposals on our business can vary substantially depending upon the specific changes or further guidance made and how the changes or guidance are implemented by the authorities.

We may be unsuccessful in integrating the operations of the assets we have acquired or may acquire in the future, or in realizing all or any part of the anticipated benefits of any such acquisition.

If we are unable to successfully integrate our acquisitions into our business, we may never realize their expected benefits. With each acquisition, we may discover or experience unexpected costs, environmental liabilities for which we are not indemnified, delays, lower than expected cost savings or synergies, or incurrence of other significant charges such as impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets and asset devaluation. In addition, we may be unable to successfully integrate the diverse company cultures, retain key personnel, apply our expertise to new competencies, or react to adverse changes in commodity prices or industry conditions.

We cannot predict with certainty the benefits of these acquisitions, which often constitute multi-year endeavors. On June 1, 2017, we completed our acquisition of Western Refining. This acquisition will require substantial capital during 2018 and later years. If we are unable to realize all or part of the projected benefits from this or other acquisitions within our expected time frames, our business, results of operations and financial condition may suffer.

We are subject to interruptions of supply and increased costs as a result of our reliance on logistics assets for the transportation of crude oil, feedstocks and refined products within our business.

Our subsidiaries own and operate ten refineries in the western and mid-continent United States, which refine crude oil and other feedstocks into refined products for sale to a wide variety of markets. We rely on a variety of logistics assets to transport crude oil, feedstocks and refined products, including, but not limited to, marine vessels, marine terminals, rail, pipelines, product terminals, storage tanks and trucks. Some of these assets are owned and operated by third-parties. In particular, losing access to certain assets owned by Andeavor Logistics could halt production at some of our refineries. Accidents, natural disasters, government regulation, third-party actions or other events outside of our control could impede our use or increase the cost of using these assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Adverse changes in global economic conditions and the demand for transportation fuels may impact our business and financial condition in ways that we currently cannot predict.

Our business is affected by the strength of the U.S. and global economies, related demand for transportation fuels, and the risk of global economic downturn. Technological changes in vehicles and other energy systems, such as electric vehicles, fuel cells and battery storage systems, as well as transportation alternatives, could also affect demand. New energy technologies or prolonged economic downturns could result in declines in consumer and business confidence and spending as well as increased unemployment and reduced demand for transportation fuels. These conditions may decrease the creditworthiness of our suppliers, customers and business partners, which could interrupt or delay our suppliers’ performance of our contracts, reduce or delay customer purchases, delay or prevent customers from obtaining financing to purchase our products, or result in bankruptcy of customers or business partners. Any of these events may adversely affect our cash flow, profitability and financial condition.

Risk Factors

We operate in international markets, and are thus subject to risks of doing business on a global level.

We operate in and sell some of our products in non-U.S. jurisdictions, primarily in Mexico, South America and Asia. Our operating results or financial condition could be negatively impacted by disruptions in any of these markets, including economic instability, restrictions on the transfer of funds, duties and tariffs, transportation delays, import and export controls, changes in governmental policies, labor unrest, security issues involving key personnel and changing regulatory and political environments. In addition, if trade relationships deteriorate with these countries, if existing trade agreements are modified or terminated, new economic sanctions relevant to such jurisdictions are passed or if taxes, border adjustments or tariffs make trading with these countries more costly, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

A portion of our contracts and revenues are denominated in foreign currencies. Our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Consequently, fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively affect the value of these items in our consolidated financial statements. To the extent we do not manage our foreign currency exposure adequately, we may suffer losses in value of our net foreign currency investment, and our consolidated results of operations and financial position may be negatively affected.

Actions of governments through tax legislation and other changes in law, executive order and commercial restrictions could reduce our operating profitability, both in the U.S. and abroad. The U.S. government can prevent or restrict us from doing business in foreign countries. These restrictions could limit our ability to operate in, or gain access to, opportunities in various countries.

We are required to comply with U.S. and international laws and regulations, including those involving anti-bribery, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering. For example, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws and regulations prohibit improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or gaining any business advantage. Our compliance policies and programs mandate compliance with all applicable anti-corruption laws but may not be completely effective in ensuring our compliance. Our training and compliance program and our internal control policies and procedures may not always protect us from violations committed by our employees or agents. Actual or alleged violations of these laws could disrupt our business and cause us to incur significant legal expenses, and could result in a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. 

The availability and cost of renewable identification numbers could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The RFS2, issued by the EPA, requires refiners to add annually increasing amounts of “renewable fuels” to their petroleum products or to purchase credits, known as RINs, in lieu of such blending. Due to regulatory uncertainty and in part due to the nation’s fuel supply approaching the “blend wall” (the 10% ethanol limit prescribed by most automobile warranties), the price and availability of RINs has been volatile.

While we generate RINs by blending renewable fuels manufactured by third parties, we purchase RINs on the open market to comply with the RFS2. We cannot predict the future prices of RINs, and the costs to obtain the necessary RINs could be material. Our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to pass the cost of compliance on to our customers, pay significantly higher prices for RINs, and generate or purchase RINs to meet RFS2 mandated standards.

Meeting the requirements of, including the cost to comply with, evolving environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and any failure to meet those requirements could materially affect our performance, financial condition and results of operations.

Environmental, health and safety laws and regulations may continue to increase our operating costs and require significant capital investments. If we discover conditions at our facilities that require remediation, or if environmental, health and safety, and energy requirements change materially, we could be required to increase our capital expenditures or incur additional operating costs, which could negatively impact our financial condition. Environmental and operational risks, including those relating to process safety could result in increased regulatory requirements, liabilities, permit restrictions or revocation or an adverse effect to our reputation. Equipment or system failures, human error, extreme weather events or natural disasters could result in hazardous material releases into the environment, fires, explosions, loss of life, personal injury and property damage. We cannot predict the effect of future developments in federal or state laws or regulations governing environmental, health and safety or energy matters on our operations, or how these changes may impact our business or financial condition. For example:

In July 2017 California adopted additional process safety management regulations to implement recommendations made in 2014 by the Governor’s Interagency Refinery Safety Working Group. These requirements significantly expand the scope and requirements of California’s process safety management and accidental release prevention programs. These requirements could have a material impact on our cash flows, profitability and financial condition.

Risk Factors

In California, the Board for the South Coast Air Quality Management District passed amendments to the RECLAIM on December 4, 2015. The RECLAIM Amendments became effective in 2016 and require a staged reduction of NOx through 2022. The agency is also working on a process to “sunset” the existing RECLAIM program and require facilities to install best available retrofit control technologies on equipment.

In California, AB-617, a companion bill to green house gas legislation, was passed in 2017 to establish programs to reduce local criteria and toxic emissions at an individual community level. This will involve community monitoring, emission reduction plans, and installation of equipment in the selected communities.

Climate change and greenhouse regulation could affect our operations, energy consumption patterns and regulatory obligations, any of which could affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Scientific studies have indicated that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere can produce changes in climate with significant physical effects, including increased frequency and severity of storms, floods and other extreme weather events that could affect our operations. Increased concern over the effects of climate change may also affect our customers’ energy strategies, consumer consumption patterns, including the adoption of electric vehicles, and government and private sector alternative energy initiatives any of which could adversely affect demand for petroleum products.

Currently, multiple legislative and regulatory measures to address greenhouse gas (including carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxides) and other emissions are in various phases of consideration, promulgation or implementation. These include actions to develop international, federal, regional or statewide programs, which could require reductions in our greenhouse gas or other emissions and decrease the demand for our refined products. Requiring reductions in these emissions could result in increased costs to (i) operate and maintain our facilities, (ii) install new emission controls at our facilities and (iii) administer and manage any emissions programs, including acquiring emission credits or allotments.
For example, in California, the state legislature adopted SB 32 in 2016. SB 32 set a cap on emissions of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 but did not establish a particular mechanism to achieve that target. The legislature also adopted a companion bill, AB 197, that most significantly directs the California Air Resources Board to prioritize direct emission reductions on large stationary sources. In 2017, the state legislature adopted AB 398 which provides direction and parameters on utilizing cap and trade after 2020 to meet the 40% reduction target from 1990 levels by 2030 specified in SB 32. In 2009, CARB adopted the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”), which requires a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity of gasoline and diesel by 2020 and additional reductions beyond 2020 are anticipated. Compliance is demonstrated by blending lower carbon intensity biofuels into gasoline and diesel or by purchasing credits. Compliance with each of the cap and trade and LCFS programs is demonstrated through a market-based credit system. If we are unable to pass the costs of compliance on to our customers, sufficient credits are unavailable for purchase, we have to pay a significantly higher price for credits, or if we are otherwise unable to meet our compliance obligation, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

California’s ambitious climate change and air emissions goals and regulatory programs are complex, subject to change and considerable uncertainty due to a number of factors including technological feasibility, legal challenges and potential changes in federal policy. Increasing concerns about climate change have also resulted in a number of international, national, regional and statewide measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Additional stricter measures can be expected in the future and any of these changes may have a material adverse impact on our business or financial condition.

Regulatory and other requirements concerning the transportation of crude oil and other commodities by rail may cause increases in transportation costs or limit the amount of crude oil that we can transport by rail.

We rely on a variety of systems to transport crude oil, including rail. In 2012, we completed the construction of a 50 Mbpd crude oil rail car unloading facility in Anacortes, Washington (the “Anacortes Rail Facility”), which Andeavor Logistics subsequently acquired from us. The Anacortes Rail Facility allows us to receive crude oil into our Anacortes refinery.

Rail transportation is regulated by federal, state and local authorities. New regulations or changes in existing regulations could result in increased compliance expenditures. For example, in 2015 the U.S. Department of Transportation issued new standards and regulations applicable to crude-by-rail transportation (Enhanced Tank Car Standards and Operational Controls for High-Hazard Flammable Trains). These or other regulations could increase the time required to move crude oil from production areas to our refineries, increase the cost of rail transportation and decrease the efficiency of shipments of crude oil by rail within our operations. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We rely upon certain critical information systems for the operation of our business, and the failure of any critical information system, including a cyber-security breach, may result in harm to our reputation and business.

We depend heavily on our technology infrastructure and critical information systems, including data networks, telecommunications, remote connectivity, cloud-based information controls, software applications and hardware, including those that are critical to operating our refineries, pipelines, terminals, retail stations and other business operations. In addition, we collect sensitive data, including personally identifiable information of our customers using credit cards at our retail outlets.

Risk Factors

We are in the process of completing the enterprise resource planning project (see further discussion in Item 7) which aims to simplify business processes by implementing a standardized and scalable technology platform. Large information systems and business process transformations such as this one are complex and require significant investments in system software, business process development and employee resources. Our business and results of operations may be adversely affected if we experience operating problems, scheduling delays, cost overages or service limitations. Additionally, we may not achieve all of the expected synergies with this project which may impact our ability to achieve the project’s objectives.

Our technology infrastructure and information systems are subject to damage or interruption from a number of potential sources including natural disasters, software viruses or other malware, power failures, cyber-attacks, employee error or malfeasance, and other events. Although we have experienced actual or attempted breaches of our cybersecurity, none of these breaches have had a material effect on our business, operations or reputation (or compromised any customer data). However, no cybersecurity or emergency recovery processes is failsafe, and if our safeguards fail or our data or technology infrastructure is compromised, the safety and efficiency of our operations could be materially harmed, our reputation could suffer, and we could be subject us to additional costs, liabilities, and costly legal challenges, including those involving privacy of customer data. Any of these outcomes could materially harm our business and operations. Finally, state and federal legislation relating to cybersecurity could impose new requirements, which could increase our costs or reduce our efficiency.

Disruption of our ability to obtain crude oil could adversely affect our operations, revenue and cash flow.

To maintain or increase production levels at our refineries, we must continually contract for crude oil supplies from third parties. A material decrease in crude oil production from the fields that supply our refineries as a result of decreased exploration and production activity, natural production declines or otherwise, could result in a decline in the volume of crude oil available to our refineries. Such an event could result in an overall decline in volumes of refined products processed at our refineries and a corresponding reduction in our revenue and cash flow.

In addition, many of our logistics agreements contain minimum volume commitments. If we do not satisfy the minimum volume commitments, we will still be responsible for payment for transportation and storage services as if we had utilized such minimum volumes.

Our investments in joint ventures decrease our ability to manage risk.

We conduct some of our operations, through joint ventures in which we share control over certain economic and, business interests with our joint venture partners. Our joint venture partners may have economic, business or legal interests or goals that are inconsistent with our goals and interests or may be unable to meet their obligations. Failure by us, or an entity in which we have a joint-venture interest, to adequately manage the risks associated with any acquisitions or joint ventures could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of our joint ventures and adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Terrorist attacks aimed at our facilities or that impact our customers or the markets we serve could adversely affect our business.

The U.S. government has issued warnings that energy assets in general, including the nation’s refining, pipeline and terminal infrastructure, may be future targets of terrorist organizations. Any future terrorist attacks on our facilities, those of our customers, or on any transportation networks, including pipelines, could have a material adverse effect on our business. Similarly, any future terrorist attacks that severely disrupt the markets we serve could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Our inventory risk management activities may result in substantial derivative variability or losses.

We enter into derivative transactions to manage the risks from changes in the prices of crude oil, refined products, natural gas, and other feedstocks associated with our physical inventories and future production, and these may result in substantial derivatives variability or losses, which could increase the volatility of our earnings. We manage price risk on inventories above or below our target levels to minimize the impact these price fluctuations have on our earnings and cash flows. Consequently, our results may fluctuate significantly from one reporting period to the next depending on commodity price fluctuations and our relative physical inventory positions. These transactions may also expose us to the risk of financial loss; for example, if our production is less than we anticipated at the time we entered into a hedge agreement or if a counterparty to our hedge agreement fails to perform its obligations under the agreements. See Item 7A.

Risk Factors

Competition in the refining, logistics and marketing industry is intense, and an increase in competition in the markets in which we sell our products could adversely affect our earnings and profitability.

We compete with a broad range of refining and marketing companies, including certain multinational oil companies. Competitors with greater geographic diversity, larger or more complex refineries, integrated operations with exploration and production resources and broader access to resources, may be better able to withstand volatile market conditions and to bear the risks inherent in the refining industry. For example, competitors that engage in exploration and production of crude oil may be better positioned to withstand periods of depressed refining margins or feedstock shortages. Our competitors’ recent consolidations and acquisitions and their plans for projects that could increase refining capacity or efficiency could increase competition in our markets, reduce our margins and affect our cash flow.

In addition, we compete with alternative energy and fuel producers for some industrial, commercial and individual consumers. There is significant governmental and consumer pressure to increase the use of alternative fuels and vehicles in the United States. If these alternative energy sources gain support as a result of governmental regulations and subsidies, technological advances, consumer demand, or other causes, they could impact demand for our products and our financial condition.

Our operations are subject to operational hazards that could expose us to potentially significant losses.

Refineries, gas processing plants, pipelines, rail cars, terminals, underground gas storage and other components of our business are subject to potential operational hazards and risks inherent in refining operations and in transporting and storing crude oil, natural gas, refined products and waste. Operational hazards, such as fires, floods, earthquakes, explosions, third-party accidents, maritime disasters, security breaches, pipeline ruptures and spills, mechanical failure of equipment, severe weather and other natural disasters, at our or third-party facilities, could result in business interruptions or shutdowns and damage to our properties and the properties of others. A serious accident at our facilities could also result in serious injury or death to our employees or contractors and could expose us to significant liability for personal injury claims and reputational risk. These events could create significant liabilities that are outside the limits or scope or our insurance policies, and could expose us to penalties under federal, state and local laws. The costs that we could have to pay in penalties or for clean-up, remediation and damages could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operations. Any such unplanned event or shutdown could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we operate in and adjacent to environmentally sensitive coastal waters where tanker, pipeline, rail car and refined product transportation and storage operations are closely regulated by federal, state and local agencies and monitored by environmental interest groups. Our coastal refineries receive crude oil and other feedstocks by tanker. In addition, our refineries receive crude oil and other feedstocks by rail car and truck. Transportation and storage of crude oil, other feedstocks and refined products over and adjacent to water involves inherent risk and subjects us to the provisions of the Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and state laws in California, Washington, Alaska and Oregon, as well as international laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. If we are unable to promptly and adequately contain any accident or discharge involving tankers, pipelines, rail cars or above ground storage tanks transporting or storing crude oil, other feedstocks or refined products, we may be subject to substantial liability. In addition, the service providers we have contracted to aid us in a discharge response may be unavailable due to weather conditions, governmental regulations or other local or global events. International, federal or state rulings could divert our response resources to other global events.

We are also required to ensure the quality and purity of the products loaded at our loading racks and pipeline connections. If our quality control measures were to fail or be compromised, we may have contaminated or off-specification products commingled in our pipelines and storage tanks that could be sent to customers and other end users. These types of incidents could result in product liability claims from our customers or other pipelines to which our pipelines connect. These product liability claims may have a material adverse effect on our business or results or operations or our ability to maintain existing customers or retain new customers.

We do not maintain insurance coverage against all potential losses. Marine vessel charter agreements may not provide complete indemnity for oil spills, and any marine charterer’s liability insurance we carry may not cover all losses. If a loss event is not fully covered by insurance or if our insurers fail to honor their coverage commitments for an insured event or if our counterparties fail to honor any indemnification agreements, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operations are also subject to general environmental risks, expenses and liabilities, which could affect our results of operations.

From time to time we have been, and presently are, subject to litigation and investigations with respect to environmental and related matters, including product liability claims related to the oxygenate methyl tertiary butyl ether. We may become involved in further litigation or other civil or criminal proceedings, or we may be held responsible in any existing or future litigation or proceedings, the costs of which could be material.

Risk Factors

We operate and have in the past operated retail stations with underground storage tanks in various jurisdictions. Federal and state regulations and legislation govern the storage tanks, and compliance with these requirements can be costly. The operation of underground storage tanks poses certain risks, including leaks. Leaks from underground storage tanks, which may occur at one or more of our retail stations, or which have occurred at our previously operated retail stations, can impact soil or groundwater and result in fines and civil liability for us.

Large capital projects can take several years to complete, and if we are unable to complete capital projects at their expected costs or in a timely manner, or if market conditions deteriorate significantly between the project approval date and the project startup date, our results of operations, cash flows or project returns could be adversely impacted.

We are constructing several new projects and expanding existing ones, such as the construction of the Conan Crude Oil Gathering Pipeline System and the Clean Product Upgrade Project. The construction process involves numerous regulatory, environmental, political and legal uncertainties, most of which are not fully within our control. If we are unable to complete capital projects at their expected costs or in a timely manner our results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected. In addition, our revenues may not increase immediately upon the expenditure of funds because construction or expansion may occur over an extended period of time, and we may not receive any material increases in revenues until after substantial completion of the project.

To approve a large-scale capital project, the project must meet an acceptable level of return on the capital to be employed in the project. We base these economic projections on our best estimate of future market conditions that are not within our control. Most large-scale projects take many years to complete and during this multi-year period, market conditions can change from those we forecast due to changes in general economic conditions, available alternative supply and changes in customer demand. Accordingly, we may not be able to realize our expected returns from a large investment in a capital project, and this could negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and return on capital employed.

Because of our debt obligations, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted by a deterioration of our credit profile, a decrease in debt capacity or unsecured commercial credit available to us, or by factors adversely affecting credit markets generally.

At December 31, 2017, our total debt obligations for borrowed money and capital lease obligations were $7.8 billion. We may incur substantial additional debt obligations in the future.

Our indebtedness may impose various restrictions and covenants on us that could have material adverse consequences, including:

increasing our vulnerability to changing economic, regulatory and industry conditions;
limiting our ability to compete and our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry;
limiting our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders;
limiting our ability to borrow additional funds; and
requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other purposes.

Refining operations require certain levels of commodity inventories, which we may fund using combinations of working capital and debt. Our ability to obtain credit and capital is significantly impacted by the state of the credit and capital markets, which is beyond our control. Our ability to access credit and capital markets may be restricted at a time that constrains our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. Certain lenders may not lend to us due to the industry in which we operate, or other factors beyond our control. In addition, the cost and availability of debt and equity financing may be adversely impacted by unstable or illiquid market conditions. Uncertainty and illiquidity in these markets could also have an adverse impact on our lenders, commodity hedging counterparties, or our customers, preventing them from meeting their obligations to us. Further, from time to time, we may need to supplement cash generated from operations with proceeds from financing activities. A decrease in our debt or commercial credit capacity, including unsecured credit extended by third-party suppliers, or a deterioration in our credit profile, could increase our costs of borrowing money or limit our access to the capital markets and commercial credit, which could affect our ability to manage our inventory or otherwise materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our business may be negatively affected by work stoppages, slowdowns or strikes by our employees, as well as new labor requirements.

As of December 31, 2017, approximately 2,850 of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Of these employees, approximately 1,700 are covered by collective bargaining agreements expiring on February 1, 2019 with the remaining employees covered under agreements with expirations ranging from May 2019 to March 2023. A strike, work stoppage or other labor action could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.


24 | 
andvlogoprimarycolorrgba21.jpg
 

Risk Factors

In addition, California requires refinery owners to pay prevailing wages to contract craft workers and restricts refiners’ ability to hire qualified employees to a limited pool of applicants. Legislation or changes in regulations could result in labor shortages higher labor costs, and an increased risk that contract employees become joint employees of Andeavor, which could trigger bargaining issues, employment discrimination liability issues as well as wage and benefit consequences, especially during critical maintenance and construction periods.

Ownership of the general partner of Andeavor Logistics may involve a greater exposure to legal liability than our historic business operations.

One of our subsidiaries acts as the general partner of Andeavor Logistics. Our control of the general partner may increase the possibility of claims of breach of fiduciary duties including claims of conflicts of interest related to Andeavor Logistics. Any liability resulting from such claims could have a material adverse effect on our future business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 1B.
Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2.
Properties

Our principal properties are described in Item 1 under “Marketing”, “Logistics” and ”“Refining.” We believe that our properties and facilities are adequate for our operations and are adequately maintained. We, along with Andeavor Logistics, are the lessee under a number of cancellable and noncancellable leases for certain properties, including office facilities, retail facilities, ship charters, barges and equipment used in the storage, transportation and production of feedstocks and refined products. See Note 12 and 15 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information on our leased properties.

Item 3.
Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we may become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. Large, and sometimes unspecified, damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters and certain matters may require years to resolve. Although we cannot provide assurance, we believe that an adverse resolution of the matters described below would not have a material impact on our liquidity, consolidated financial position, or consolidated results of operations.

Unresolved Matters

2010 Washington Refinery Fire
The naphtha hydrotreater unit at our Washington refinery was involved in a fire in April 2010, which fatally injured seven employees and rendered the unit inoperable. The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (“L&I”) investigated the incident, and issued a citation in October 2010 with an assessed fine of approximately $2 million. We appealed the citation in January 2011 as we disagree with L&I’s characterizations of operations at the refinery and believe, based on available evidence and scientific reviews, that many of the agency’s conclusions are mistaken. In separate September 2013, November 2013 and February 2015 orders, the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals (“BIIA”) granted partial summary judgment in our favor rejecting 33 of the original 44 allegations in the citation as lacking legal or evidentiary support. The hearing on the remaining 11 allegations concluded in July 2016.

On June 8, 2017, the BIIA Judge issued a proposed decision and order vacating the entire citation, which L&I and the United Steel Workers (“USW”) appealed. On September 18, 2017, the BIIA granted L&I and USW’s petitions for review of the BIIA Judge’s June 8, 2017 proposed decision and order. On January 25, 2018, the BIIA issued an order remanding 12 of the allegations for further proceedings. We cannot currently estimate the outcome or final amount or timing of the resolution of this matter.

Air Quality Regulations
On February 12, 2016, we received an offer to settle 35 Notices of Violations (“NOVs”) received from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (“BAAQMD”). The NOVs were issued from May 2011 to November 2015 and allege violations of air quality regulations for ground level monitors located at our Martinez refinery. While we are negotiating a settlement of the allegations with the BAAQMD, we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of this matter.

On June 6, 2017, we received an offer to settle a NOV that we received from the EPA alleging violations of air emission limits at our St. Paul Park refinery. The NOV was issued in January 2016 and alleges hydrogen sulfide concentrations from the flare exceeds the limit. While we have an agreement in principle to settle this matter and are negotiating the terms of a settlement, we cannot currently estimate the timing of the final resolution of this matter. The final resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.


 
 
December 31, 2017 | 25

Legal Proceedings

On February 13, 2018, we received an offer to settle a NOV issued by the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) on December 28, 2017. The NOVs allege violations of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard’s reporting requirements for our California operations from 2011 to 2016. We self-reported the discovered instances of under and over reporting during this time frame to CARB.  The correction of the inaccurate reports did not result in a negative LCFS credit balance.  While we are evaluating CARB’s offer and cannot currently estimate the timing of the resolution of this matter, the outcome will not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial positions, or results of operations.

Gallup Refinery
In March 2016, the EPA conducted a Risk Management Program inspection at our Gallup refinery and issued an Inspection Report on April 7, 2016 identifying Areas of Concern. While we are working with the EPA to address the Areas of Concern, we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of this matter.

Fuel Standards
On April 19, 2016, we received an offer to settle two NOVs received from the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”). The NOVs were issued in February 2016 and allege certain batches of fuels produced in June and July 2015 at our Martinez and Los Angeles refineries violated fuel standards within the California Code of Regulations. While we are actively discussing a settlement of the allegations with CARB, we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of this matter.

Resolved Matters

In November 2017, we agreed to settle six NOVs received from the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The NOVs were issued from January 2014 to March 2016 and allege violations of air quality regulations at our Los Angeles refinery. The final resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

In December 2017, we agreed to settle 51 NOVs received from the BAAQMD. The NOVs were issued from July 2011 to July 2015 and allege violations of various air quality regulations at our Martinez refinery. The final resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Item 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following information concerning our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with Items 1 and 2 and our consolidated financial statements in Item 8.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis is our analysis of our financial performance, financial condition and significant trends that may affect future performance. All statements in this section, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements that are inherently uncertain. See “Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements.

Business Strategy and Overview

We are the leading integrated marketing, logistics and refining company in our strategic footprint and are driven to create value by operating an integrated business model. Our diversified and integrated portfolio of assets and operations provides us with strong growth opportunities across our value chains.

In recent years, we have implemented strategies to transform the composition of our portfolio of marketing, logistics and refining assets. In 2010, the majority of our operating income was generated through our Refining segment with only a small portion attributable to our previous retail segment and we did not have commercial logistics operations. However, in recent years, we have successfully implemented strategies to drive operational productivity improvements, organic growth and portfolio enhancing acquisitions. Identifying new value creation opportunities to grow the Company is core to our strategy. Our focused execution of this strategy has resulted in a transformation of the Company into a highly integrated, well diversified marketing, logistics and refining business. As of 2017, our Marketing segment continues to expand and Andeavor Logistics has grown significantly resulting in each having a larger and more balanced contribution to our operating results. We believe our integrated business model coupled with our Guiding Principles and Strategic Priorities will position us to create leading value for our investors.

Our Strategy and Goals

Execution of our strategy and the achievement of our goals across our business segments is driven by our commitment to our Guiding Principles and Strategic Priorities that are discussed further in Item 1. The following discussion outlines how we create value across our integrated business segments.

Marketing
Our marketing operations provide a secure and ratable off-take of gasoline and diesel production from our refineries and allow us to enhance our margin capture as refined product moves through the value chain. We are driving growth and improvements in our Marketing segment by focusing on higher value, branded distribution channels, adding new retail sites to our network and implementing store improvements to enhance our convenience store position.

With the closing of the Western Refining Acquisition, we added 544 stations to our branded network, including 457 company-operated stations, and along with other strategic, immaterial acquisitions increased our store count to over 3,250 stations. These stations will further drive volumes through higher-value, branded channels thus maximizing capture of margin downstream within the value chain.

Logistics
Our Logistics segment includes assets that establish a market position that helps to minimize our transportation costs as well as maximize our overall performance by focusing on a stable, fee-based business. We achieve value by optimizing our existing asset base, pursuing organic expansion opportunities and growing through strategic acquisitions across our terminalling and transportation and gathering and processing businesses.

Refining
In our Refining segment, our strategy focuses on:

driving operational excellence enabling asset availability in excess of 97%;
maintaining strict operating cost discipline;
enhancing capital efficiency through superior execution; and
maximizing capital productivity through process optimization including our ability to access regionally advantaged crude oil.

To meet our strategic objectives, we invest in high return capital projects designed to enhance our feedstock flexibility, improve our yields and lower our costs. In addition to the above strategies and goals, we aim to execute on our strategic priorities to further create value for our shareholders through the achievement of annual improvements to operating income and the capturing of synergies associated with the Western Refining Acquisition.

2017 Performance Objectives

Improvements to Operating Income
Our plans, as presented in November 2016, were to deliver $475 to $575 million of improvements to operating income during 2017, which is comprised of $395 to $475 million of growth and productivity and $80 to $100 million of higher throughput and other operational improvements. These improvements consist of $45 to $70 million in Marketing, $125 to $150 million in Logistics and $305 to $355 million in Refining. In addition to these improvements, we outlined market assumptions for 2017, including fuel margins of 11 to 14 cents per gallon in our Marketing segment and an Andeavor Index of $12 to $14 per throughput barrel in our Refining segment. All of these improvements exclude any expected synergies from the Western Refining Acquisition.

Andeavor exceeded its target and delivered approximately $505 million of growth and productivity improvements to operating income in 2017. Those improvements consisted of $40 million in Marketing, $175 million in Logistics and $290 million in Refining.

Synergies
Concurrent with the closing of the Western Refining Acquisition, we outlined expected synergies of $350 to $425 million on an annual basis with this run rate expected to be achieved by June 2019, the second year following the closing of the transaction. This includes approximately $120 to $160 million from value chain optimization, $130 to $140 million from operational improvements and $100 to $125 million from corporate efficiencies. We estimate that we realized approximately $80 million of synergies as of December 31, 2017 resulting in approximately $190 million of annual run-rate synergies being achieved through the fourth quarter of 2017, consisting primarily of approximately $100 million in corporate efficiencies and the remainder in value chain optimization and operational improvements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Andeavor’s Journey to 2020

At our December 5, 2017 Investor and Analyst Day, we laid out plans to grow our business and earnings through 2020. Our journey to creating superior value in 2020 is based on the following:

advancing our fully-integrated fuel and convenience store marketing and wholesale businesses;
expanding our customer-focused, full-service, diversified midstream business, strategically integrated into our value chain;
enhancing our integrated refining system and maximize margin capture of our value chain through regional optimization;
identifying and capturing opportunities across the value chain that drive higher integrated margins; and
focusing on disciplined allocation of capital and financial strength.

Our five strategic actions leading to the growth are delivering the remaining Western Refining synergies, executing on $175 million of income growth from strategic Refining capital projects, achieving $300 million of profitability growth in our Marketing segment by growing both the fuel and convenience store businesses, investing in organic projects and drop downs in our Logistics segment resulting in $430 million of profitability growth and improving costs and driving productivity in our Refining segment resulting in $175 million of growth. We plan to improve results by spending relatively the same amount of capital that we have the last two years. From 2015 to 2017, we spent on average about $1.3 billion per year in capital expenditures and we plan to spend on average approximately $1.4 billion per year from 2018 to 2020. These expectations assume an Andeavor Index of $12 to $14 per throughput barrel in our Refining segment and fuel margins of 11 to 14 cents per gallon in our Marketing segment over the next three years.

Marketing
Our Marketing segment is a key part of our integrated value chain as it provides a stable placement for our products and creates value by improving and maximizing margins. The objective for our Marketing segment is to be a leading convenience marketer, and we have a significant opportunity to excel at both fuel and convenience marketing. We are targeting segment growth by 2020 by increasing Retail and Branded fuel volumes to approximately 52% of total fuel volumes, expanding Retail and Branded stations to over 4,000, improving convenience margin contribution, investing in store enhancements and focusing on key brands and developing a network of 250 to 300 stations in northwest Mexico.

Logistics
Our Logistics segment is a leading midstream service provider and supports our integrated value chain by being able to leverage our commercial capabilities. We are targeting segment growth through 2020 by executing on $1.0 billion of annual high-return growth investments including drop downs from Andeavor, investing in projects to support our growth in the Permian and Bakken regions and increasing third-party revenues.

Refining
Our Refining system is reliable, efficient, strategically located and geographically diverse. We capture differential value by operating with a focus on integration both amongst the refineries and across the whole value chain. We are targeting growth through 2020 by investing in major capital projects, capturing additional Western Refining synergies, improving productivity, efficiency and costs, maintaining high utilization with a focus on our Operational Excellence Management System and creating value by optimizing the integrated value chain.

Results of Operations

A discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to our results of operations is presented below. The accompanying consolidated financial statements in Item 8, together with the following information, are intended to provide investors with a reasonable basis for assessing our historical operations, but should not serve as the only criteria for predicting our future performance.

Market Overview

Our results from operations may be impacted significantly from market volatility through the price of crude oil and other feedstocks we acquire for refining and the price we can sell our refined products through our Marketing and Refining segments. Refined product values and crude oil prices are generally set by the global market balances. However, refined product demand trends and crude oil supplies in the U.S. and globally have a significant impact on our business. Additionally, refinery disruptions, planned maintenance, changing logistical infrastructure and healthy domestic macroeconomic conditions continue to influence all portions of our business.


 
 
December 31, 2017 | 33

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Refined Products
Globally, crude and product inventory levels have declined from last year. However, continued improvement in global macro-economic factors remains supportive to healthy refined product demand. In the markets in which we operate, refined product fundamentals continued to experience volatility. U.S. refiners ran at near-full capacity throughout the year, exceeding prior seasonal high crude run rates. The exception was during the third quarter when domestic refining utilization declined markedly when multiple large-scale hurricanes impacted Gulf Coast refineries. Despite high gasoline production and relatively flat domestic demand growth, U.S. gasoline inventories ended the year slightly below 2016 levels due to increased export demand. At the start of the year, U.S. distillate inventories displayed a significant supply surplus over demand that carried over from 2016. The healthy distillate demand growth and high export levels outpaced strong production, which led to stock draws throughout the year.

Logistics
During 2017, the spot prices of the commodities that our Logistics segment handles largely improved in 2017. Crude oil, refined products, and the majority of NGL prices increased while prices for natural gas decreased. The U.S. oil and gas drilling landscape improved from 2016 due to price appreciation, increased rig counts and operator efficiencies. Domestic crude production exhibited material growth in 2017, which resulted in significantly higher U.S. crude exports. The higher crude price experienced in the fourth quarter has further improved shale economics and U.S. crude production is expected to continue to grow in 2018. From a products perspective, growing export opportunities are providing an incentive for U.S. refiners to maximize production of gasoline and diesel. These factors create a positive outlook for U.S. oil, natural gas and refined product throughput volumes, however, regional impacts may differ.

Continued improvements in the U.S. economic landscape such as lower unemployment, wage growth, strong consumer sentiment, robust manufacturing and expansion of petrochemical plants support healthy refined product demand from our downstream and marketing customers. We continue to monitor the impact of commodity prices and fundamentals as it relates to our business. Given the outlined market conditions, we believe our diversified portfolio of businesses as well as our strong customer base are sufficient to continue to meet our goals and objectives outlined above.

Refining Margins
The market prices for crude oil and other feedstocks continued to experience significant volatility during the year. In the first half of the year, the price of Brent crude oil declined nearly $9 per barrel as OPEC and non-OPEC production cuts did not lead to a reduction of high inventories within well developed countries. However, in the second half of 2017, the price of Brent crude oil increased nearly 40% ending the year higher by over $10 per barrel. During this time, U.S. crude stocks drew over 75 million barrels, significantly narrowing the variance over the 5 year average, on strong refinery demand and tempered import levels. U.S. crude production displayed strong growth throughout the year as shale economics improved due to operator efficiencies and a higher price environment. The increase of domestic light crude production led to export growth throughout the year. This was particularly evident in the fourth quarter as export economics became more favorable due to the widening of the price spread between Brent crude oil (“Brent”) and West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”). West Coast refinery output remained robust through much of the year. However, various planned and unplanned downtime saw utilization rates lag behind the record levels seen in overall U.S. West Coast margins that averaged near typical seasonal values supported by healthy gasoline demand and refined product exports. We continue to monitor the impact of changes on prices and fundamentals on our business.

As a performance benchmark and a comparison with other industry participants, we have utilized the West Coast and Mid-Continent crack spreads. The crack spread is a measure of the difference between market prices for crude oil and refined products and is a commonly used proxy within the industry to estimate or identify trends in refining margins. Crack spreads can fluctuate significantly over time as a result of market conditions and supply and demand balances. The West Coast 321 crack spread is calculated using 3 barrels of Alaska North Slope crude oil (“ANS”) producing 2 barrels of Los Angeles CARB gasoline and 1 barrel of Los Angeles CARB diesel. The Mid-Continent 321 crack spread is calculated using 3 barrels of WTI crude oil producing 2 barrels of Group 3 gasoline and 1 barrel of Group 3 diesel.

West Coast and Mid Continent crack spreads increased during 2017 compared to last year. The U.S. West Coast crack spread averaged $17.66 per barrel in 2017 compared to $16.24 per barrel in 2016. The Mid-Continent crack spread averaged $20.37 per barrel in 2017 compared to $16.12 per barrel in 2016.

Our actual refining margins differ from these crack spreads based on the actual slate of crude oil we run at our refineries and the products we produce. The global commodity markets for crude oil and refined products are subject to significant volatility resulting in rapidly changing prices and margin environments. Our refineries process a variety of crude oils that are sourced from around the world. The slate of crude oil we process can vary over time as a result of changes in market prices and shipping rates. Additionally, our refining margin is impacted by the changing crude oil price differentials, which is the difference between the benchmark crude oils, WTI and Brent crude oil, and the actual crude oil we run at our refineries. We may experience financial risk associated with price volatility of crude oil and refined products, and we may utilize financial hedge instruments to help mitigate such risks where possible.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Crude Oil Differentials ($/Barrel)

chart-741ad31142dfcd85a70.jpg
Items Impacting Comparability

During 2017, we revised the title of certain of our financial statement line items to avoid any misperception that the amounts included are equivalent to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The underlying financial information has not changed from what we have previously disclosed. See our discussion under “Non-GAAP Measures” for additional information about the financial measures we use to analyze our operations.

On June 1, 2017, we closed the Western Refining Acquisition. Our results include the operations from Western Refining for the period of June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 and thus prior periods may not be comparable. With the Western Refining Acquisition, we have updated our segments to reflect the results and operations of Western Refining and WNRL. Our Marketing segment reflects our expanded marketing business that, combined with Western Refining, now consists of expanded wholesale marketing operations from WNRL and over 3,250 retail stations marketed under multiple well-known fuel brands including ARCO®, Shell®, Mobil and SUPERAMERICA®. Our renamed Logistics segment includes the results of Andeavor Logistics, excluding WNRL’s Wholesale business. We now report the Logistics segment’s results for the combined Terminalling and Transportation and Gathering and Processing business lines. Our Refining segment reports the results of our refining system that now consists of ten refineries in the western and mid-continent United States with a combined capacity of approximately 1.2 million barrels per day. The Refining segment includes the results from Andeavor’s existing Refining segment along with the Refining business contributed in the Western Refining Acquisition.

Non-GAAP Measures

During 2017, we expanded our listing of certain “non-GAAP” performance measures our management uses to analyze operating segment performance and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our GAAP financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are defined in our glossary of terms. These financial and operational non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include:

EBITDA
Segment EBITDA
Fuel margin
Fuel margin per gallon
Merchandise margin
Merchandise margin percentage
Average margin on NGL sales per barrel
Refining margin
Refining margin per throughput barrel
Manufacturing costs (excluding depreciation and amortization) per throughput barrel

We present these measures because we believe they may help investors, analysts, lenders and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations and liquidity in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, including but not limited to:

our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded companies in the refining, logistics and marketing industries, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods;
our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

 
 
December 31, 2017 | 35

Management’s Discussion and Analysis


Management also uses these measures to assess internal performance. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

2017 Versus 2016

Operating Income Reconciliation by Segment (in millions)

chart-37fc2e9fd77873d70a4.jpg
Overview
Our net earnings in 2017 of $1.7 billion increased $823 million, or 96% from net earnings of $860 million in 2016, primarily due to a $918 million benefit related to the impact of Federal tax reform and the Western Refining Acquisition offset by higher general and administrative costs and interest and financing costs. Similarly, EBITDA of $2.6 billion in 2017 increased $171 million, or 7%, from $2.4 billion in 2016 as a result of the Western Refining Acquisition.

Segment Results
Operating income increased slightly to $1.5 billion during 2017 compared to 2016 driven by increases in our Refining and Logistics segments that were offset by an increase in corporate costs as discussed further below. Refer to our detailed discussion of each segment’s operating and financial results contained in this section.

Corporate Costs
General and administrative expenses increased $341 million in 2017 compared to 2016 largely due to $222 million in acquisition and integration costs incurred in connection with the Western Refining Acquisition, WNRL Merger and the IDR buy-in transaction. Additionally, the addition of Western Refining contributed to the increase. Included in the integration costs were $53 million of severance and equity payouts, of which $42 million was due to the change of control and $11 million due to expected severance and retention payments.

Interest and Financing Costs, Net
Interest and financing costs increased approximately $165 million to $439 million during 2017 from $274 million in 2016. The increase was driven by transactional costs of new Andeavor Logistics senior notes during 2017 that included $60 million in early redemption premiums and $17 million in write-offs of unamortized issuance costs. Also contributing to the increase was a $76 million impact from a full year of interest on our senior notes issued in December 2016 in addition to a $46 million increase from a full year of interest on the Andeavor Logistics senior notes issued in 2016. See further discussion of senior note issuances and debt repayments in the “Capital Resources and Liquidity” section. Partially offsetting the annual increase was a one-time bridge fee paid in 2016 related to the Western Refining Acquisition.

Other Income, Net
Other income during 2016 included nonrecurring gains of $15 million related to pipeline tariff refunds received in California, $13 million of proceeds related to an insurance settlement on a contaminated crude oil shipment we received in 2013 and a $9 million gain related to an adjustment permitted in the agreement from the 2013 acquisition of the ARCO® brand.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Our income tax benefit from continuing operations totaled $560 million in 2017 versus income tax expense of $427 million in 2016. The year over year income tax variance is primarily attributable to a $918 million benefit arising from the impact of the recently enacted federal Tax Act coupled with a decrease in earnings before income taxes. The combined federal and state effective income tax rate was (50.2)% and 33.4% during 2017 and 2016, respectively. Refer to Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further discussion of the impact of the federal Tax Act.

Earnings (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Tax
Earnings from discontinued operations related to Tesoro Hawaii, LLC, (the “Hawaii Business”), net of tax, were $8 million in 2017, compared to $10 million in 2016. The earnings in 2017 relate to the lowering of an estimate for remaining regulatory improvements to be made in Hawaii and 2016 related to proceeds from the 2014 and 2015 calendar year earn-out payments received.

2016 Versus 2015

Operating Income Reconciliation by Segment (in millions)

chart-6fee29337cbed0c2994.jpg
Overview
Our net earnings in 2016 of $860 million decreased from net earnings of $1.7 billion in 2015 primarily due to the weaker margin environment within our Refining segment. Similarly, EBITDA of $2.4 billion in 2016 declined $1.2 billion, or 33%, from $3.6 billion in 2015 as a result of the weaker margin environment.

Segment Results
Operating income decreased $1.3 billion during 2016 compared to 2015 primarily as a result of a decrease of $1.3 billion in our Refining segment. Refer to our detailed discussion of each segment’s operating and financial results contained in this section.

Interest and Financing Costs, Net
Interest and financing costs increased approximately $57 million to $274 million during 2016 from $217 million in 2015. The increase was attributable to the write-off of deferred financing costs related to revolver amendments and bridge facility fees in anticipation of the Western Refining acquisition and new debt issuances in the year, primarily the $250 million aggregate principal amount of Andeavor Logistics’ 6.125% Senior Notes due in 2021 and the $450 million aggregate principal amount of Andeavor Logistics’ 6.375% Senior Notes due in 2024 issued in May 2016.

Other Income, Net
Other income during 2016 included gains of $15 million related to pipeline tariff refunds received in California, $13 million proceeds related to an insurance settlement on contaminated crude oil shipment we received in 2013 and $9 million gain related to an adjustment permitted in the agreement from the 2013 acquisition of the ARCO® brand. In 2015, other income included a gain for an insurance settlement of $11 million related to the Washington Refinery Fire.

Income Tax Expense
Our income tax expense from continuing operations totaled $427 million in 2016 versus $936 million in 2015. The decreased income tax expense is attributable to the decrease in earnings before income taxes. The combined federal and state effective income tax rate was 33.4% and 35.6% during 2016 and 2015, respectively. Compared to 2015, the income from non-taxable noncontrolling interests attributable to Andeavor Logistics was a higher percentage of earnings before income taxes. The 2016 rate also benefited from a $16 million decrease in expense related to the early adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.”

Earnings (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Tax
Earnings from discontinued operations related to the Hawaii Business, net of tax, were $10 million in 2016, compared to a $4 million loss in 2015. The earnings in 2016 primarily related to proceeds from the calendar year 2015 earn-out owed to the Company. The loss in 2015 was related to a change in estimate for the regulatory improvements we were required to make.

Operational Data and Results
Management uses fuel margin per gallon and merchandise margin to compare results to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate fuel margin per gallon and merchandise margin; different companies may calculate them in different ways. We report fuel margin separate for our retail and branded operations as well as our unbranded operations due to the difference in margin economics in these channels. Fuel margin and fuel margin per gallon include the effect of intersegment purchases from the Refining segment. Merchandise margin is frequently used in the convenience store industry to measure operating results related to merchandise sales. Investors and analysts may use these metrics to help analyze and compare companies in the industry on the basis of operating performance. These financial measures should not be considered alternatives to revenues, segment operating income or any other measures of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

2017 Versus 2016

Overview
Operating income decreased $42 million, or 5%, and Segment EBITDA decreased $33 million in 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due to weaker California fuel margins partially offset by contributions from the Western Refining Acquisition and retail stations acquired in northern California.

Retail and Branded Fuel Margin
Fuel margin remained relatively flat at $1.1 billion in 2017 compared to 2016. During the first half of 2017, inclement weather along the west coast negatively impacted demand while rising spot prices in the second half of 2017 negatively impacted margins. These impacts were offset by margin contributions from the Western Refining Acquisition. Volumes increased 518 million gallons due to growth in our network from the Western Refining Acquisition, sales from 39 stations acquired in northern California and organic growth in our branded network.

Unbranded Fuel Margin
Fuel margin increased $41 million to $110 million in 2017 due to increased fuel sale volumes of 1.1 billion gallons primarily driven by the Western Refining Acquisition.

Convenience Margin
Convenience margin increased $155 million to $223 million during 2017 compared to 2016 primarily reflecting contributions of the company-operated stations included in the Western Refining Acquisition. This also resulted in a decreased merchandise margin percentage to 27.1% in 2017 compared to 34.4% in 2016 due to the product mix of the acquired business.

Operating Expenses and Depreciation
Operating expenses increased $213 million and depreciation and amortization expenses increased $19 million in 2017 versus 2016 primarily due to higher operating costs associated with company-operated stations acquired in the Western Refining Acquisition.

2016 Versus 2015

Overview
Operating income decreased $69 million, or 8%, to $830 million in 2016 compared to $899 million in 2015 and Segment EBITDA decreased $56 million to $889 million in 2016 compared to $945 million in 2015. These decreases were primarily due to lower gasoline margins in 2016 in all of the regions we operate in, particularly in the West Coast region.

Retail and Branded Fuel Margin
Fuel margin decreased $73 million, or 6%, to $1.1 billion during 2016 compared to 2015. The decrease is primarily attributable to 2016 margins approaching the low end of the 5-year range with 2015 at near record levels partially offset by a 5% increase in volumes driven by growth in our retail and branded network.

Unbranded Fuel Margin
Fuel margin decreased $5 million to $69 million in 2016 with slightly lower per gallon margins offset by a modest increase in sales volumes.

Convenience Margin
Convenience margin increased $10 million to $68 million during 2016 compared to 2015 primarily reflecting the growth of our retail and branded network.

2017 Versus 2016

Overview
Operating income for our Logistics segment increased from $487 million in 2016 to $665 million in 2017 and Segment EBITDA increased from $696 million to $954 million, respectively. These increases were driven by Andeavor Logistics’ acquisitions of the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets and the Northern California Terminalling and Storage Assets from Andeavor in the second half of 2016, the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets in January 2017 and from the operations obtained through the Western Refining Acquisition during 2017. The 2017 results also reflect a $25 million gain on the sale of a refined products terminal in Alaska.

Terminalling and Transportation
Terminalling and transportation revenues, net of operating expenses, increased $167 million, or 41%, in 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due to higher revenues associated with new commercial terminalling and storage agreements executed with our Refining segment in connection with the acquisitions in the second half of 2016. Also contributing to the increase were seven months of contributions from the WNRL operations obtained through the Western Refining Acquisition and higher marine terminalling revenues driven by higher refinery utilization. The increase in revenues was partially offset by higher operating expenses, particularly related to the acquisitions.

Gathering and Processing
Gathering and processing revenues, net of NGL expense and operating expenses, increased $109 million, or 30%, in 2017 compared to 2016. Revenues increased across the natural gas gathering and processing systems and crude oil and water gathering systems due primarily to the acquisition of the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets and expanded capabilities on our existing assets. Also contributing to the increase were seven months of contributions from the WNRL operations obtained through the Western Refining Acquisition. The increases were partially offset by a decline in revenues resulting from lower natural gas volumes in the Rockies Region, incremental operating expenses primarily associated with the acquired assets and estimated costs to complete remediation and closure activities along with long-term monitoring in Tioga, North Dakota.

Includes results of Western Refining’s logistics business, excluding its wholesale fuel sales business, since June 1, 2017, the date of acquisition.
(b)
For 2017, our Logistics segment had 22.2 Mbpd of gross NGL sales under POP and keep-whole arrangements, of which Logistics retained 8.3 Mbpd. The difference between gross sales barrels and barrels retained is reflected in NGL expense due to the gross presentation required for the POP arrangements associated with the North Dakota Gathering and Processing Assets.

2016 Versus 2015

Overview
Operating income for our Logistics segment increased to $487 million in 2016 from $393 million in 2015 and Segment EBITDA increased to $696 million from $587 million. These increases were primarily driven by the full year impact of the LA Storage and Handling Assets purchased in November 2015 and the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets purchased in 2016.

Terminalling and Transportation
Terminalling and transportation revenues, net of operating expenses, increased $101 million, or 32%, in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to higher revenues associated with a full year impact of the new commercial terminalling and storage agreements executed with our Refining segment associated with the LA Storage and Handling Assets and the Alaska Storage and Terminalling Assets acquisitions, stronger customer demand and organic growth projects adding new capabilities to Andeavor Logistics’ system.

Gathering and Processing
Gathering and processing revenues, net of NGL expense and operating expenses, decreased $9 million, or 2%, in 2016 compared to 2015. Gas gathering and processing volume decreased largely due to the deconsolidation of RGS in 2016 while crude oil and water gathering throughput increased due to increased activity and the completion of expansion projects. Operating expenses increased $5 million in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily resulting from the inclusion of gross operating expenses related to Andeavor Logistics’ transactions with RGS in 2016 that were previously eliminated upon consolidation as well as additional expenses related to acquisitions during 2016 partially offset by a reduction in the environmental remediation costs recognized in 2016 compare to 2015 related to the 2013 release of crude oil in a rural field northeast of Tioga, North Dakota.


(a)
Our Logistics segment revenues from services provided to our Refining segment were $715 million and $615 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These amounts are eliminated upon consolidation.
(b)
Our Logistics segment operating expenses as well as general and administrative expenses include amounts billed by Andeavor for services provided to Andeavor Logistics under various operational contracts. Amounts billed by Andeavor included in operating expenses totaled $190 million and $177 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The net amounts billed include reimbursements of $17 million and $34 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Amounts billed by Andeavor included in general and administrative expenses totaled $69 million and $72 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. All of these amounts are eliminated upon consolidation. Those expenses with third-parties related to the transportation of crude oil and refined products related to Andeavor’s sale of those refined products during the ordinary course of business are reclassified to cost of materials and other in our statements of consolidated operations upon consolidation.

2017 Versus 2016

Overview
Operating income for our Refining segment increased $250 million, or 47%, to $785 million in 2017 compared to 2016 due to the Western Refining Acquisition and a stronger margin environment. Average U.S. West Coast and Mid-Continent crack spreads were up approximately $1.42 and $4.25 per barrel, respectively, in 2017 compared to 2016. Total refinery utilization increased slightly to 95% in 2017 from the 93% experienced in 2016 due to higher turnaround and maintenance activities in 2016.

California Region
Refining margin decreased $180 million in 2017 to $1.9 billion, or $10.10 per barrel, compared to $2.1 billion, or $11.36 per barrel in 2016 as the refining throughput increased for the region by 16 Mbpd to 523 Mbpd for 2017. The lower refining margin was primarily driven by the year on year change in the LCM. There was no LCM margin impact in 2017 compared to a benefit to the refining margin in 2016 of $236 million. In addition, manufacturing costs increased in 2017 to $6.11 per barrel compared to $6.02 per barrel driven by higher energy prices and the timing of maintenance expenses.

Pacific Northwest Region
Refining margin increased $45 million in 2017 to $560 million, or $8.20 per barrel, compared to $515 million, or $7.77 per barrel in 2016, primarily due to a more favorable margin environment and an increase in refining throughput for the region of 6 Mbpd to 187 Mbpd for 2017. Partially offsetting this increase was the year on year change in LCM impact. There was no LCM margin impact in 2017 compared to a positive impact to refining margin in 2016 of $84 million. In addition, manufacturing costs increased in 2017 to $4.06 per barrel compared to $3.90 per barrel driven by higher energy prices and unplanned maintenance expenses.

Mid-Continent Region
Refining margin increased in 2017 to $1.4 billion, or $12.91 per barrel, compared to $523 million, or $10.43 per barrel in 2016, primarily due to the results from the operations from the Western Refining Acquisition for seven months of 2017, which led to a significant increase in refining throughput for the region of 150 Mbpd to 287 Mbpd in 2017. Partially offsetting this impact was the year on year change in LCM impact. There was no LCM margin impact in 2017 compared to a positive impact to the refining margin in 2016 of $39 million. In addition, manufacturing costs increased in 2017 to $4.88 per barrel compared to $4.29 per barrel in 2016 driven by the Western Refining Acquisition.

2016 Versus 2015

Overview
Operating income for our Refining segment decreased $1.3 billion, or 71%, to $535 million in 2016 compared to 2015 due to a weaker margin environment. Average U.S. West Coast and Mid-Continent crack spreads were down approximately $5.53 per barrel in 2016 compared to 2015. Total refinery utilization of 93% in 2016 was in line with the utilization we experienced in 2015.

California Region
Refining margin decreased $824 million in 2016 to $2.1 billion, or $11.36 per barrel, primarily driven by a weaker refining margin environment in the region when compared to $2.9 billion, or $16.29 per barrel in 2015, Partially offsetting the effects of the refining margin environment was the positive impact of the LCM adjustment in 2016 and continued demand growth for our refined products. Manufacturing costs decreased in 2016 to $6.02 per barrel compared to $6.37 per barrel driven by lower energy prices and the timing of maintenance expenses.

Pacific Northwest Region
Refining margin decreased $165 million in 2016 to $515 million, or $7.77 per barrel, primarily driven by a weaker refining margin environment in the region when compared to $680 million, or $10.96 per barrel in 2015, Partially offsetting the effects of the refining margin environment was the positive impact of the LCM adjustment in 2016 and continued demand growth for our refined products. Manufacturing costs decreased in 2016 to $3.90 per barrel compared to $4.37 per barrel driven by lower energy prices and the timing of maintenance expenses.

Mid-Continent Region
Refining margin decreased $209 million in 2016 to $523 million, or $10.43 per barrel, primarily driven by a weaker refining margin environment in the region when compared to $732 million, or $16.17 per barrel in 2015. Partially offsetting the effects of the refining margin environment was the positive impact of the LCM adjustment in 2016 and continued demand growth for our refined products. Other operating expenses as well as depreciation and amortization expenses increased as a result of the acquisitions during 2016. Manufacturing costs remained steady in 2016 at $4.29 per barrel compared to $4.26 per barrel.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Overview

We operate in an environment where our capital resources are impacted by changes in the price of crude oil and refined products, availability of trade credit, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. These factors include the level of consumer demand for transportation fuels, weather conditions, fluctuations in seasonal demand, governmental regulations, geo-political conditions and overall market and global economic conditions. See “Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for further information related to risks and other factors. Future capital expenditures, as well as borrowings under our credit agreements and other sources of capital, may be affected by these conditions. Debt is described in greater detail in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8.

Senior Notes by Maturity (in millions)

tso201610-k_chartx01851a02.jpg
2017 Debt Transactions

On June 1, 2017, to finance approximately $424 million in total cash consideration, the $1.6 billion repayment of certain Western Refining and Northern Tier Energy LP (“NTI”) indebtedness and fees and expenses related to the Western Refining Acquisition, we borrowed $575 million under our revolving credit facility and utilized cash on hand, including the proceeds from the 4.750% Senior Notes due 2023 and the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2026 that we issued in December 2016. Included in the $1.6 billion of debt repayments were Western Refining’s $532 million Term Loan - 5.25% Credit Facility due 2020, $350 million of 6.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021, $371 million Term Loan - 5.500% Credit Facility due 2023 and NTI’s $350 million of 7.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 along with approximately $45 million to pay down the outstanding credit facilities at Western Refining and NTI upon acquisition. The Western Refining and NTI revolving credit facilities were terminated upon completion of the acquisition. We paid premiums of approximately $23 million in paying off the Western Refining and NTI senior notes, which were included in our purchase price allocation of the Western Refining Acquisition. The WNRL revolving credit facility and senior notes remained after the acquisition. Following the completion of the Western Refining Acquisition, our revolving credit facility increased in capacity from $2.0 billion to $3.0 billion in accordance with the amendment entered into in December 2016.

On September 27, 2017, we redeemed all of our outstanding 4.250% senior notes due 2017 for approximately $459 million, including $9 million of accrued interest, by borrowing on the Revolving Credit Facility. Later, on October 30, 2017 and in connection with the WNRL Merger, WNRL terminated all commitments and repaid all amounts outstanding under the WNRL revolving credit facility for approximately $20 million and redeemed all of the then outstanding 7.5% senior notes due 2023 for approximately $326 million, including an early payment premium and accrued interest, with borrowings from the Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility.

In addition, on November 16, 2017, Andeavor Logistics completed the public offering of $500 million aggregate principal of 3.500% senior notes due 2022, $750 million aggregate principal of 4.250% senior notes due 2027 and $500 million aggregate principal of 5.200% senior notes due 2047. The proceeds of these senior notes were used to redeem all of Andeavor Logistics’ outstanding 5.875% senior notes due 2020 and 6.125% Senior Notes due 2021 and to repay borrowings under the Andeavor Logistics Dropdown Credit Facility along with fees and expenses associated with the offering. And finally, on December 14, 2017, we completed the public offering of $500 million aggregate principal of 3.800% senior notes due 2028 and $500 million aggregate principal of 4.500% senior notes due 2048. The proceeds of these senior notes were primarily used to pay down the Revolving Credit Facility.

See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for a more detailed discussion regarding the Company’s debt transactions in the year.

Credit Facilities Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations with additional sources available under borrowing capacity from our revolving lines of credit. We ended 2017 with $543 million of cash and cash equivalents, $55 million of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $423 million of borrowings outstanding under the Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility. We believe available capital resources are adequate to meet our capital expenditure, working capital and debt service requirements. See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for the available capacities under our credit facilities and expenses and fees associated with our credit facilities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Covenants
The Andeavor and Andeavor Logistics revolving credit facility agreements and indentures both contain representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default that we consider usual and customary for agreements of these types. The sole financial covenant that Andeavor is required to maintain, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter, is a Consolidated Total Net Debt to Total Capitalization (as defined in the ANDV revolver credit facility agreement) of no greater than 60%. As of December 31, 2017, we were in compliance with this financial covenant.

See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information on our debt obligations.

The investment grade rating achievements in 2017 for Andeavor and Andeavor Logistics align with our capital allocation and financial principles. Benefits of Investment Grade Ratings are:

Lower Cost of Capital - We expect incremental interest savings and lower costs on new issuances.
Balance Sheet Flexibility - We have the ability to extend our maturity profile to increase duration and match asset life while also benefiting from simplified and less restrictive covenants.
Financial and Operational Flexibility - We gain access to improved commercial terms that reduce the need for Letters of Credit, enhancing our financial standing with customers, suppliers and partners.
Improved Market Access - We have greater market depth and breadth that provides stability and reliable access along with better access to subordinated debt and preferred equity markets.

Share Repurchases and Cash Dividends

Return to Shareholders (in millions, except per share)

chart-ba4ef9551ae1f05c4ec.jpg
We are authorized by our Board to purchase shares of our common stock in open market transactions at our discretion. The Board’s authorization has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Purchases of our common stock can be made to offset the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards and to meet our obligations under employee benefit and compensation plans, including the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock and to fulfill other stock compensation requirements. We purchased approximately 7.0 million shares of our common stock for the year ended December 31, 2017 at an average price of $99.43 per share and 3.2 million shares of our common stock for the year ended December 31, 2016 at an average price of 78.56 per share for approximately $692 million and $250 million, respectively. In October 2015, our Board approved a $1.0 billion share repurchase program that became effective upon the full completion of the initial program. In connection with the Western Refining Acquisition, our Board approved a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program. We have over $1.4 billion remaining under our authorized programs.

On February 14, 2018, our Board declared a cash dividend of $0.59 per share, payable on March 15, 2018 to shareholders of record on February 28, 2018.

2017 Compared to 2016

Operating Activities
Net cash from operating activities increased $326 million, or 25%, to $1.6 billion in 2017 compared to $1.3 billion in 2016. The increase in net cash from operating activities was primarily due to higher net earnings after considering the impacts from non-cash operating activities partially offset by larger net cash outflows due to movements in working capital.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $1.1 billion, or 85%, to $2.4 billion in 2017 compared to $1.3 billion in 2016 primarily due to funds used for acquisitions and increased capital expenditures in 2017. See “Capital Expenditures” discussed further in this Item as well as the discussion of our acquisitions in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for more information.

Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during 2017 totaled $1.9 billion compared to net cash from financing activities of $2.4 billion in 2016. The $4.3 billion year on year change was primarily due to increases in repayments of debt, repayment on revolving credit facilities, purchases of common stock and lower proceeds from debt offerings of $3.9 billion, $806 million, $442 million and $314 million, respectively. These decreases in cash were partially offset by increases in borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and proceeds from Andeavor Logistics’ preferred equity issuance.

2016 Compared to 2015

Operating Activities
Net cash from operating activities decreased $827 million, or 39%, to $1.3 billion in 2016 compared to $2.1 billion in 2015. The decrease in net cash from operating activities was primarily due to $830 million in lower net earnings in 2016 versus 2015 coupled with a $676 million change in the lower cost of market adjustment offset by changes in working capital in the period.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $188 million, or 17%, to $1.3 billion in 2016 compared to $1.1 billion in 2015 primarily due to funds used for acquisitions in the year partially offset by reduced capital expenditures in 2016. See “Capital Expenditures” in this Item for more information.

Financing Activities
Net cash from financing activities during 2016 totaled $2.4 billion compared to net cash used of $1.1 billion in 2015. The $3.4 billion year on year change was primarily due to $3.1 billion of proceeds from debt offerings in 2016, $265 million more proceeds from issuances of Andeavor Logistics common units and $394 million less purchases of common stock in the year partially offset by no borrowings under the Andeavor Logistics term loan credit agreement in 2016 versus $250 million in 2015. The 2016 debt offerings primarily consisted of the $1.6 billion of senior notes issuances in late 2016 in anticipation of the Western Refining transaction, the $700 million of senior notes issuances by Andeavor Logistics in May 2016 and the $750 million of senior notes issued in December 2016 by Andeavor Logistics. Dividend payments and payments to noncontrolling interests increased $55 million during 2016 compared to 2015.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital spending reflects the Company’s emphasis on long term strategic priorities including continued focus on safety, reliability and value-driven growth. Growth capital expenditures include purchases or construction of new assets and expansion of existing facilities or services that increase throughput capacity or operational capabilities of our assets. Maintenance capital expenditures include projects to extend the life or maintain equipment reliability and integrity. Andeavor regulatory capital expenditures include projects to attain or maintain compliance with regulatory standards. We monitor the effectiveness of our

 
 
December 31, 2017 | 53

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

investments in capital projects as part of our focus on financial discipline and continuous improvement. In addition, for major capital projects, we routinely review project assumptions and project execution as well as obtain third-party evaluations to assist in improving our project planning and execution. Actual and estimated amounts described below include amounts representing capitalized interest and labor. Andeavor primarily funds capital expenditures with cash generated from operations. Andeavor Logistics primarily funds its capital expenditures with cash generated from operations, reimbursements for certain growth and maintenance capital expenditures, borrowings under the Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility and issuances of additional Andeavor Logistics debt and equity securities, as needed.

(a)
The integration and compliance project at the Los Angeles refinery is designed to improve the flexibility of gasoline and diesel yields and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The project scope includes the construction of a pipeline between the operations located in Wilmington, California and Carson, California and the decommissioning the fluid catalytic cracking unit at our Wilmington, California facility.
(b)
A portion of the Los Angeles Integration and Compliance Project and the entire Conan Crude Oil Gathering System are expected to be acquired by Andeavor Logistics at cost plus capitalized interest once they are completed by Andeavor.
(c)
The Mixed Xylenes Project will be located at our Anacortes, Washington refinery and will help diversify our product mix through the extraction of existing mixed xylene from gasoline and improve our capability to deliver cleaner local transportation fuels and global feedstocks, primarily for polyester. The Mixed Xylenes Project and its components remain subject to final board and regulatory approval.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

(d)
The Enterprise Resource Planning Project will simplify business processes by implementing a standardized and scalable platform across the Company to transform our business information and technology systems and to further streamline our operations, reduce costs and provide for future growth. We expect this project to be a complex, multi-year process that will require significant investments in software and technology. We expect the project to go-live in the first half of 2018.
(e)
The Conan Crude Oil Gathering System is a newly constructed crude oil gathering pipeline system located in the Delaware Basin. The pipeline system will be approximately 130 miles in length and transport crude oil from origins in Lea County, New Mexico and Loving County, Texas to a terminal to be constructed in Loving County, Texas, where the gathering system interconnects with long-haul pipeline carriers. The first phase of the Conan Crude Oil Gathering Pipeline system will provide capacity of approximately 250 Mbpd and storage capacity of 720,000 barrels. We expect the project to be completed in the second half of 2018.
(f)
The Mandan Tier 3 Project is designed to lower the sulfur content in gasoline, which aligns with the new Federal Tier 3 standards. The project will install a gasoline hydrotreater and associated infrastructure with completion expected before the end of 2019.
(g)
The Waxy Crude Oil Drilling Program is a drilling joint venture between Andeavor and EP Energy to fund oil and natural gas development located in the Uinta Basin of Utah. This project is limited to 60 wells and included a crude oil supply agreement allowing Andeavor to purchase all of the oil produced along with additional Waxy Crude Oil produced by EP Energy, ensuring ratable Waxy Crude Oil supply for Andeavor’s Salt Lake City Refinery.
(h)
The Naphtha Isomerization Project is located at our Anacortes, Washington refinery and will improve our capability to deliver cleaner local transportation fuels. The project is progressing with construction and is designed to lower the sulfur content in gasoline, which aligns with the new Federal Tier 3 standards. We expect the project to be completed in the first half of 2018.
(i)
The Carson Terminal Expansion Project will be constructed and funded by Andeavor Logistics. Andeavor Logistics intends to construct and operate two to three million barrels of additional crude oil storage capacity to better accommodate the unloading of marine vessels at the nearby marine terminals, which is expected to reduce transportation costs for Andeavor, such as extended port fees and demurrage.
(j)
The North Dakota NGL Logistics Hub will be constructed and funded by Andeavor Logistics. Andeavor Logistics intends to transport mixed NGLs from a third party processing plant in McKenzie County, North Dakota to its Belfield Gas Processing Plant for fractionation and then ship purity NGL products on manifest and unit trains from its Fryburg Rail Terminal.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements, other than our leasing arrangements described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 that would result in off-balance sheet liabilities.

Environmental

We are a party to various litigation and contingent loss situations, including environmental and income tax matters, arising in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcomes of these matters with certainty, we have accrued for the estimated liabilities when appropriate. We believe that the outcome of these matters will not have a material impact on our liquidity or financial position, although the resolution of certain of these matters could have a material impact on our interim or annual results of operations. Additionally, if applicable, we accrue receivables for probable third-party recoveries.

Environmental Laws and Regulations
We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which change frequently, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require us to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites, install additional controls or make other modifications to certain emission sources, equipment or facilities.

Future expenditures may be required to comply with the Clean Air Act and other federal, state and local requirements for our various sites, including our refineries, tank farms, pipelines and currently and previously owned or operated terminal and retail station properties. The impact of these legislative and regulatory requirements, including any greenhouse gas cap-and-trade program or low carbon fuel standards, could result in increased compliance costs, additional operating restrictions on our business and an increase in the cost of the products we manufacture, which could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, consolidated financial position, or results of operations.

The Energy Independence and Security Act was enacted into federal law in December 2007 creating RFS2 requiring the total volume of renewable transportation fuels (including ethanol and advanced biofuels) sold or introduced in the U.S. to reach 20.5 billion gallons in 2015 and to increase to 36.0 billion gallons by 2022. These requirements could reduce future demand growth

 
 
December 31, 2017 | 55

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

for petroleum products that we manufacture. In the near term, the RFS2 presents ethanol production and logistics challenges for the ethanol, alternative fuel and refining and marketing industries. We are currently meeting the RFS2 requirements through a combination of RINs that were carried over from prior periods, blending renewable fuels obtained from third parties and purchases of RINs in the open market. The spending related to the purchases of RINs for 2017 was not material to our operations and the spending for 2018 is not expected to be material based on our operations and the current regulatory environment. Actual costs related to RINs may differ due to changes in the market price of RINs and the ultimate destinations of our products. Additional expenditures could be required to logistically accommodate the increased use of renewable transportation fuels. While we cannot currently estimate the ultimate impact of this statute and implementing its regulations for future blending mandates, and currently believe that the outcome will not have a material impact on our liquidity or financial position, the ultimate outcome could have a material impact on our results of operations.

In California, AB 32 created a statewide cap on greenhouse gas emissions by requiring that the state return to 1990 emission levels by 2020. In 2016, SB 32 set a new emissions reduction target of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. AB 32 focuses on using market mechanisms, such as a cap-and-trade program and LCFS, to achieve emissions reduction targets. The LCFS became effective in January 2010 and requires a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity of gasoline and diesel fuel by 2020. In 2011, CARB approved cap-and-trade requirements that became effective in January 2013, and all of AB 32 related regulations are to be fully implemented by 2020. In December 2011, a U.S. District Court ruled that the LCFS violates the U.S. Constitution. CARB appealed the decision and, on September 18, 2013, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower court’s decision and remanded the case to the lower court to rule on whether the ethanol provisions of the LCFS are unconstitutional. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the lower court’s ruling on the LCFS, and the implementation and implications of AB 32 and SB 32 will take many years to realize. On January 1, 2015, transportation fuels were brought into the California cap-and-trade program, making fuel suppliers responsible for carbon emission from their products. The cost for carbon emissions is being passed through to customers. While we believe that the cap and trade requirements will not materially impact our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations, we cannot currently predict the impact of the LCFS and other AB 32 or expected SB 32-related regulations on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

Environmental Liabilities
We are incurring and expect to continue to incur expenses for environmental remediation liabilities at a number of currently and previously owned or operated refining, pipeline, terminal and retail station properties. We have accrued liabilities totaling $211 million and $227 million, including $16 million and $22 million for Andeavor Logistics, at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

On October 17, 2016, the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the July 10, 2015 federal court order denying coverage pursuant to an insurance policy for environmental remediation liabilities at our Martinez refinery. In November 2016, the Court of Appeals denied our petitions for a rehearing. The liabilities are included in our accruals as we have not recognized possible insurance recoveries under the policies. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information on our environmental obligations.

Other Matters

In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. Large, and sometimes unspecified, damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters. We have not established accruals for these matters unless a loss is probable and the amount of loss is currently estimable.

Washington Refinery Fire
The naphtha hydrotreater unit at our Washington refinery was involved in a fire in April 2010, which fatally injured seven employees and rendered the unit inoperable. The Washington State Department of L&I investigated of the incident and issued a citation in October 2010 with an assessed fine of approximately $2 million. We appealed the citation in January 2011 as we disagree with L&I’s characterizations of operations at the refinery and believe, based on available evidence and scientific reviews, that many of the agency’s conclusions are mistaken. In separate September 2013, November 2013 and February 2015 orders, the BIIA granted partial summary judgment in our favor rejecting 33 of the original 44 allegations in the citation as lacking legal or evidentiary support. On June 8, 2017, the BIIA Judge issued a proposed decision and order vacating the entire citation, which L&I and the United Steel Workers (“USW”) appealed. On September 18, 2017, the BIIA granted L&I and USW’s petitions for review of the BIIA Judge’s June 8, 2017 proposed decision and order. The hearing on the remaining 11 allegations concluded in July 2016. While we cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of the resolution of this matter, we have established an accrual based on our best estimate at this time and believe it will not have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

Environmental
We have investigated conditions at certain active wastewater treatment units at our Martinez refinery pursuant to an order received in 2004 from the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board that named us as well as two previous owners of the Martinez refinery. We cannot currently estimate the amount of the ultimate resolution of the order, but amounts that may be recognized in future periods for remediation of these wastewater treatment units could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

On October 26, 2016, the Utah Supreme Court rejected the Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment’s and the Utah Chapter of the Sierra Club’s (“Petitioners”) challenge of an air permit issued by the UDEQ to our Salt Lake City refinery in September 2012. Petitioners had filed a Request for Agency Action (the “Request”) with UDEQ challenging UDEQ’s permitting of our refinery conversion project alleging that the permit did not conform to the requirements of the Clean Air Act. After proceedings before an administrative law judge and the Executive Director of UDEQ’s subsequent dismissal of Petitioners’ Request, Petitioners filed a petition for review with the Utah Court of Appeals in December 2014, and the Court of Appeals certified the case to the Utah Supreme Court. On December 27, 2016, the Utah Supreme Court denied the Petitioners’ petition for rehearing.

In response to incidents in February and March 2014 at our Martinez refinery involving sulfuric acid exposure at the Alkylation Unit, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is conducting an investigation to evaluate the Martinez refinery’s compliance with certain federal environmental acts and the Risk Management Plan requirements under the Clean Air Act. While we cannot currently predict the timing and the resolution of this investigation, we believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

Tax
We are subject to extensive federal, state and foreign tax laws and regulations. Newly enacted tax laws and regulations and changes in existing tax laws and regulations such, including the Tax Act, could materially impact our financial positions, results of operations and cash flows in the future. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information on our tax matters.

Long-Term Commitments

During the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual commitments for purchases associated with the operation of our refineries along with other debt service and lease arrangements (see Note 12 and 15 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information). We also have minimum contractual spending requirements for certain capital projects. The contractual commitments detailed below do not include our contractual obligations to Andeavor Logistics under our various fee-based commercial agreements as these related-party transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

(a)
Includes maturities of principal and interest payments, excluding capital lease obligations. Amounts and timing may be different from our estimated commitments due to potential voluntary debt prepayments and borrowings. Interest payments assume the interest rate in effect as of December 31, 2017.
(b)
Capital lease obligations include amounts classified as interest. Operating lease obligations primarily represent our future minimum noncancellable lease commitments. Operating lease obligations primarily include lease arrangements with initial or remaining noncancellable terms in excess of one year and are not reduced by minimum rentals to be received by us under subleases.
(c)
Represents an estimate of our long-term contractual purchase commitments for crude oil, having initial or remaining terms in excess of one year. At December 31, 2017, these agreements have remaining terms ranging from three months to ten years. Prices under these term agreements fluctuate due to market-responsive pricing provisions. To estimate our annual commitments under these contracts, we estimated crude oil prices using exchange-traded crude future prices by crude oil type as of December 31, 2017, with prices ranging from $52 per barrel to $65 per barrel, and volumes based on the contract’s minimum purchase requirements over the term of the contract. We also purchase additional crude oil under short-term renewable contracts and in the spot market, which are not included in the table above.
(d)
Represents long-term commitments primarily for the transportation of crude oil, refined products and NGLs as well as to purchase industrial gases, chemical processing services and utilities at our refineries. These purchase obligations are based on the contract’s minimum volume requirements.
(e)
Minimum contractual spending requirements for certain capital projects.

We also have other noncurrent liabilities pertaining to our defined benefit plans and other postretirement benefits, environmental liabilities and asset retirement obligations. With the exception of amounts classified as current, there is uncertainty as to the timing of future cash flows related to these obligations. As such, we have excluded the future cash flows from the contractual commitments table above. See additional information on pension and other postretirement benefits, environmental liabilities and asset retirement obligations in Note 14 and 15, respectively, to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8.


 
 
December 31, 2017 | 57

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

In addition, due to the uncertainty of the timing of future cash flows with our unrecognized tax benefits, with the exception of amounts classified as current, we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement. Accordingly, we have excluded from the table $35 million of unrecognized tax benefits recorded as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Related to these unrecognized tax benefits, and excluded from the table, is a liability for potential interest and penalties of $7 million at December 31, 2017. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further information.

Pension Funding

We provide a qualified defined benefit retirement plan for all eligible employees, with benefits based on age and compensation. Our long-term expected return on plan assets is 6.50% as of December 31, 2017, and the actual return on our funded employee pension plan assets was $60 million, or 11.8%, gain in 2017 and $30 million, or 7.1%, gain in 2016. Based on a 3.65% discount rate and fair values of plan assets as of December 31, 2017, the assets in our funded employee pension plan were equal to approximately 55% of the projected benefit obligation. For funding purposes, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, as signed into law in July 2012 and later modified by the BBA stipulates that the discount rate must remain within a specified corridor of a 25-year average corporate bond rate, with such corridor widening from 10% to 30% between 2012 and 2024. On the BBA basis, the adjusted funding target attainment percentage (a funding status measure defined under applicable pension funding regulations) was 100% at January 1, 2017. Although our funded employee retirement plan fully meets all of the funding requirements under applicable laws and regulations, we contributed $87 million and $60 million during 2017 and 2016, respectively, to improve the plan’s funded status. Future contributions are affected by returns on plan assets, discount rates, employee demographics, regulatory environments and other factors. See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information on our benefit plans.

Accounting Standards

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8. We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For additional information concerning certain estimates and assumptions, see the respective footnotes to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

Goodwill and Other Identified Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently should an event occur or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Such events or circumstances may be a significant change in business climate, economic and industry trends, legal factors, negative operating performance indicators, significant competition, changes in strategy, or disposition of a reporting unit or a portion thereof. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level on November 1 of each year and when circumstances change that might indicate impairment.

We test goodwill for impairment by performing an optional qualitative assessment process and/or using the quantitative assessment process. If we choose to perform a qualitative assessment process and determine it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the carrying value of the net assets is more than the fair value of the reporting unit, a quantitative assessment process is then performed; otherwise, no further testing is performed. We may elect not to perform a qualitative assessment process and, instead, proceed directly to the quantitative assessment process. For reporting units where the quantitative assessment process is performed, the carrying value of net assets, including goodwill, is compared to the fair value at the reporting unit level. If the fair value exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the reporting unit.

We elected to perform our annual goodwill impairment analysis using a quantitative assessment process on the goodwill recorded in our reporting units of our Logistics segment and the qualitative assessment process on the remaining goodwill in the reporting units in our other two segments as of November 1, 2017.

As part of our quantitative goodwill impairment process for our Logistics’ reporting units, we engaged a third-party appraisal firm to assist in the determination of estimated fair value for each reporting unit. This determination includes estimating the fair value of each reporting unit using both the income and market approaches. The income approach requires management to estimate a number of factors for each reporting unit, including projected future operating results, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and discount rates. The market approach estimates fair value using comparable marketplace fair value data from

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

within a comparable industry grouping. The determination of the fair value of the reporting units requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, the selection of appropriate peer group companies, control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which we compete, the discount rates, terminal growth rates, and forecasts of revenue, operating income and capital expenditures.

Factors utilized in the qualitative assessment include, among other things, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, company specific operating results and other relevant entity-specific events affecting individual reporting units.

We determined that no impairment charges resulted from our November 1, 2017 goodwill impairment assessment. The fair values of our reporting units were substantially in excess of carrying values. There were no impairments of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

We evaluate our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and at other times when an event occurs or circumstances change such that an impairment may exist. In evaluating our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, we assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If, after completing the qualitative assessment, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying amount, the asset is not impaired. If we conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets is less than the carrying value, we would then proceed to a quantitative impairment test, which consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible assets to their carrying amounts. There were no impairments of indefinite-lived intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets (which include property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets with defined useful lives, deferred refinery turnaround and catalyst costs) are evaluated for potential impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the net book values of the assets may not be recoverable (for example, current period operating losses combined with a history of operating losses or a temporary shutdown of a refinery) and, if so, assessing whether the asset net book values are recoverable from estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The actual amount of an impairment loss to be recorded, if any, is equal to the amount by which the asset’s net book value exceeds its fair market value. Fair market value is based on the present values of estimated future cash flows in the absence of quoted market prices. Estimates of future cash flows and fair market values of assets require subjective assumptions with regard to several factors, including an assessment of global market conditions, future operating results and forecasts of the remaining useful lives of the assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Providing sensitivity analysis if other assumptions were used in performing the impairment evaluations is not practicable due to the significant number of assumptions involved in the estimates.

Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we must assess the likelihood that our deferred income tax assets will be recovered through future taxable income. We must establish a valuation allowance to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely. Significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred income tax assets. We have recorded a valuation allowance of $23 million on certain state net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2017, which were obtained with the acquisition of Western Refining. The valuation allowance is based on our estimate of future taxable income in each jurisdiction in which we operate and the period over which the net operating loss carryforwards can be utilized. We may need to establish an additional valuation allowance if actual results differ from these estimates or we make adjustments to these estimates in future periods. We also recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
Accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits involves several assumptions and estimates including discount rates, expected rate of return on plan assets, rates of compensation, health care cost trends, inflation, retirement rates and mortality rates. We must assume a rate of return on funded pension plan assets in order to estimate our obligations under our defined benefit plans. Due to the nature of these calculations, we engage an actuarial firm to assist with these estimates and the calculation of certain employee benefit expenses. We record an asset for our plans overfunded status or a liability if the plans are underfunded. The funded status represents the difference between the fair value of our plans’ assets and the projected benefit obligations. While we believe the assumptions we used are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions would affect pension and other postretirement benefits costs and obligations. We determine the discount rate primarily by reference to the effective yields on high quality corporate bonds that have a comparable cash flow pattern to the expected payments to be made under our plans. The expected return on plan assets is based upon the weighted averages of the expected long-term rates of return for the broad categories of investments held in our plans and also uses a three-year average of the market value of plan assets. These assumptions can have a significant effect on the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements.

See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for more information regarding costs and assumptions.

Environmental Liabilities
We record environmental liabilities when environmental assessments and/or proposed environmental remedies are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Usually, the timing of our accruals coincides with when an assessment or claim has been asserted subsequent to which a feasibility study or formal plan of action is undertaken. When we complete our assessment or when we commit to a plan of action, we accrue a liability based on the minimum range of the expected costs, unless we consider another amount more likely. We base our cost estimates on the extent of remedial actions required by applicable governing agencies, experience gained from similar environmental projects and the amounts to be paid by other responsible parties.

Accruals for our environmental liabilities require judgment due to the uncertainties related to the magnitude of the liability and timing of the remediation effort. Our environmental liability estimates are subject to change due to potential changes in environmental laws, regulations or interpretations, additional information related to the extent and nature of the liability, and potential improvements in remediation technologies. Certain of our environmental liabilities, specific to long-term monitoring costs that we believe are fixed and determinable, are recorded on a discounted basis. Where the available information is sufficient to estimate the amount of liability, that estimate is used. Where the information is only sufficient to establish a range of probable liability and no point within the range is more likely than other, the lower end of the range is used. Possible recoveries of some of these costs from other parties are not recognized in the financial statements until they become probable. Legal costs associated with environmental remediation are included as part of the estimated liability. The majority of our environmental liabilities are recorded on an undiscounted basis.

Acquisitions
We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of these items requires management’s judgment, the utilization of independent valuation experts, and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amounts of future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, market prices, and asset lives, among other items. The judgments made in the determination of the estimated fair value assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, as well as the estimated useful life of each asset and the duration of each liability, can materially impact the financial statements in periods after acquisition, such as through depreciation and amortization.

While management believes those expectations and assumptions are reasonable, they are inherently uncertain. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
 

Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Risk Management

We have established a risk committee comprised of senior level leadership from our financial, strategic, governance, administrative and operational functions. The risk committee’s responsibilities include performing an annual review to assess and prioritize the Company’s risks in coordination with our subject matter experts, assessing the status and effectiveness of risk prevention and mitigation activities, identifying emerging risks and facilitate management’s development of risk assessment and management practices. The risk committee is also responsible for assessing and advising management on our system of controls to ensure policies and procedures are properly followed and appropriate accountability is present. Our controls are designed to:

create and maintain a comprehensive risk management framework;
provide for authorization by the appropriate levels of management;
provide for segregation of duties;
maintain appropriate level of knowledge regarding the execution of and the accounting for derivative instruments; and
implement key indicators to measure the performance of hedging activities.

The risk committee meets at least monthly to review priority and emerging risks and risk prevention and mitigation activities. In addition, our risk committee chairman presents a quarterly risk update to executive management and an annual update to our Board of Directors concerning the status and effectiveness of our risk prevention and mitigation activities, emerging risks and risk assessment and management practices.

Commodity Price Risks

Our primary source of market risk emanates from the difference between the sale prices for our refined products and the purchase prices for crude oil and other feedstocks. Refined product prices are directly influenced by the price of crude oil. Our earnings and cash flows from operations depend on the margin, relative to fixed and variable expenses (including the costs of crude oil and other feedstocks) at which we are able to sell our refined products. The prices of crude oil and refined products fluctuate substantially and depend on many factors including the global supply and demand for crude oil and refined products. This demand is impacted by changes in the global economy, the level of foreign and domestic production of crude oil, natural gas and refined products, geo-political conditions, the availability of imports of crude oil and refined products, the relative strength of the U.S. dollar, the marketing of alternative and competing fuels and the impact of government regulations. Our refined product sale prices are also affected by local factors such as local market conditions and the level of operations of other suppliers in our markets.

In most cases, an increase or decrease in the price of crude oil results in a corresponding increase or decrease in the price of gasoline and other refined products. The timing, direction and the overall change in refined product prices versus crude oil prices could have a significant impact on our profit margins, earnings and cash flows. Assuming all other factors remained constant, a $1 per barrel change in average gross refining margins, based on our average throughput of 997 Mbpd, would change annualized pre-tax operating income by approximately $360 million. This analysis may differ from actual results.

We maintain inventories of crude oil, intermediate products and refined products, the values of which are subject to fluctuations in market prices. The valuation of our inventories can significantly impact amounts reported in our balance sheet where changes therein can then impact amounts recorded in our results of operations. Our inventories of refinery feedstocks and refined products totaled 58 million barrels and 45 million barrels at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We use non-trading physical derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of crude oil and finished products and inventories above or below our target levels. We also use these instruments to manage the impact of market volatility and arbitrage opportunities for crude oil where the price of crude oil is higher in the future than the current spot price. For the purchase or sale of crude oil and finished products to be used in our normal operations, we enter into physical commodity forward purchase and sale contracts (“Forward Contracts”), which are not typically classified and reported as derivatives for accounting purposes. The gains or losses associated with these Forward Contracts are recognized as incurred in our financial statements separate from the gains or losses associated with other derivative instruments reported below and in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8.

Also, we entered into financial derivative contracts such as exchange-traded futures, over-the-counter swaps, options and over-the-counter options, most of which had remaining durations of less than one year as of December 31, 2017, to economically hedge price risk associated with our physical commodity Forward Contracts or to take advantage of other market opportunities. We mark-to-market these derivative instruments each period during the contract term, which can create timing differences for gain or loss recognition in our financial statements. The derivative gains or losses presented below do not reflect the realized losses or gains, respectively, from the settlement of our physical commodity transactions. Both the derivative and the physical commodity Forward Contracts’ gains and losses are reflected in our gross refining margin in the refining segment. We evaluate

 
 
December 31, 2017 | 67

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures

our performance based on all contract types available to manage our risk, which includes contracts that may or may not be classified and reported as derivatives for accounting purposes.

We believe the governance structure that we have in place is adequate given the size and sophistication of our commodity optimization, inventory management and trading activities. Our governance over commodity activities includes regular monitoring of the performance of our risk management strategies and limits over dollar and volume based transactional authority, commodity position, aggregate spread, stop-loss and value-at-risk. Performance against our strategies and authorized limits is monitored daily via position reports and profit and loss analysis and is reviewed on a regular basis, at least monthly, by our risk committee.

Our open derivative positions at December 31, 2017 will expire at various times through 2018. We prepared a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk associated with our derivative instruments. Based on our open net positions at December 31, 2017, a 1% change in quoted market prices of our derivative instruments, assuming all other factors remain constant, could change the fair value of our derivative instruments and pre-tax operating income by less than $1 million. This analysis may differ from actual results.

With the exception of a small amount of condensate and pipeline loss allowances, Andeavor Logistics is not exposed to commodity price risk with respect to any of the crude oil, natural gas, NGLs or refined products that are handled. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information on our Keep-Whole Commodity Agreement.

Counterparty Credit Risk

We have exposure to concentrations of credit risk related to our counterparties’ ability to meet their contractual payment obligations, and the potential non-performance by counterparties to deliver contracted commodities or services at the contracted price. Customer concentrations within the refining industry and oil and gas producers may affect our overall exposure to counterparty risk because these customers may be similarly impacted by changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, financial services companies are the counterparties in certain of our price risk management activities, and such financial services companies could be adversely impacted by periods of uncertainty and illiquidity in the credit or capital markets. We have credit management processes in place by which we closely monitor the status of our counterparties by performing ongoing credit evaluations of their financial condition. In certain circumstances, we require prepayments, letters of credit or other credit enhancement.

Interest Rate Risk

Our use of fixed or variable-rate debt directly exposes us to interest rate risk. Fixed rate debt, such as our senior notes, exposes us to changes in the fair value of our debt due to changes in market interest rates. Fixed rate debt also exposes us to the risk that we may need to refinance maturing debt with new debt at higher rates or that our current fixed rate debt may be higher than the current market. Variable-rate debt, such as borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, exposes us to short-term changes in market rates that impact our interest expense. The carrying and fair values of our debt were approximately $7.8 billion and $8.1 billion at December 31, 2017, respectively, and approximately $7.0 billion and $7.3 billion at December 31, 2016, respectively. The fair value of our debt was estimated primarily using quoted market prices. These carrying and fair values of our debt do not consider the unamortized issuance costs, which are netted against our total debt. Unless interest rates increase significantly in the future, our exposure to interest rate risk should be minimal. With all other variables constant, a 0.25% change in the interest rate associated with the borrowings outstanding would change annual interest expense by approximately $1 million under any of our variable-rate debt. We currently do not use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate risk; however, we continue to monitor the market and our exposure, and may in the future enter into these transactions to mitigate risk. We believe in the short-term we have acceptable interest rate risk and continue to monitor the risk on our long-term obligations. There were $55 million borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $423 million borrowings outstanding under the Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2017.

Financial Statements and Supplemental Data

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Andeavor


Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Andeavor (the “Company“) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements“). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 21, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company‘s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company‘s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB“) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 


Note 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description and Nature of Business

Effective August 1, 2017, Tesoro Corporation changed its name to Andeavor. As used in this report, the terms “Andeavor,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” may refer to Andeavor, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries or all of them taken as a whole. The words “we,” “us” or “our” generally include Andeavor Logistics LP and its subsidiaries as consolidated subsidiaries of Andeavor with certain exceptions where there are transactions or obligations between Andeavor Logistics and Andeavor or its other subsidiaries. When used in descriptions of agreements and transactions, “Andeavor Logistics” or the “Partnership” refers to Andeavor Logistics, formally known as Tesoro Logistics, LP, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Andeavor was incorporated in Delaware in 1968. Based in San Antonio, Texas, we are one of the largest independent petroleum refining and marketing companies in the United States. Our subsidiaries, operating through 3 business segments, primarily transport crude oil and manufacture, transport and sell transportation fuels. Our Marketing operating segment sells transportation fuels in 17 states and Mexico through a network of 3,255 retail stations primarily under the ARCO®, Shell®, Mobil and SUPERAMERICA® brands. Our unbranded business includes volumes sold through agreements with third-party dealers. Our Logistics operating segment, which is comprised of Andeavor Logistics’ assets and operations with the exception of Western Refining Logistics, LP’s (“WNRL”) wholesale fuel sales business that is reflected in our Marketing segment, includes certain crude oil and natural gas gathering assets, natural gas and NGLs processing assets, and crude oil and refined products terminalling, transportation and storage assets acquired from Andeavor and third parties. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-01 discussed further below, the Andeavor Logistics financial and operational data presented include the historical results of all assets acquired from Andeavor prior to the dates they were acquired by Andeavor Logistics. Our Refining operating segment, which owns and operates 10 refineries in the western and mid-continent United States, refines crude oil and other feedstocks into transportation fuels, such as gasoline and gasoline blendstocks, jet fuel and diesel fuel, as well as other products, including heavy fuel oils, liquefied petroleum gas and petroleum coke for sale in bulk markets to a wide variety of customers within our markets. Our refineries have a combined crude oil capacity of approximately 1,157 Mbpd.

Our earnings, cash flows from operations and liquidity depend upon many factors, including producing and selling refined products at margins above fixed and variable expenses. The prices of crude oil and refined products fluctuate substantially and our financial results are significantly influenced by the timing of changes in crude oil costs and how quickly refined product prices adjust to reflect these changes. These price fluctuations depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the global supply and demand for crude oil and refined products, which are subject to factors including changes in the global economy, the level of foreign and domestic production of crude oil and refined products, geo-political conditions, availability of crude oil and refined product imports, the infrastructure to transport crude oil and refined products, weather conditions, earthquakes and other natural disasters, seasonal variations, government regulations, threatened or actual terrorist incidents or acts of war, and local factors, including market conditions and the level of operations of other suppliers in our markets. Margin fluctuations resulting from these factors have a significant impact on our results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and financial position.

Western Refining
On June 1, 2017, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 16, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Western Refining, Inc. (“Western Refining”), the Company, our wholly-owned subsidiaries Tahoe Merger Sub 1, Inc. and Tahoe Merger Sub 2, LLC, Tahoe Merger Sub 1 was merged with and into Western Refining, with Western Refining surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger” or the “Western Refining Acquisition”). As a result of the Merger, we obtained Western Refining’s controlling interest in WNRL. Thus, these consolidated financial statements reflect the operations, financial position and cash flows associated with Western Refining, WNRL and their related subsidiaries with all intercompany transactions eliminated upon consolidation. Refer to Note 2 for further information on the Western Refining Acquisition.

WNRL Merger and IDR Buy-In
Effective October 30, 2017, Andeavor Logistics closed its merger with WNRL (the “WNRL Merger”) exchanging all outstanding common units of WNRL with units of Andeavor Logistics. WNRL unitholders, including Andeavor, received units of Andeavor Logistics at agreed upon exchange rates. Concurrently with the closing of the WNRL Merger, WNRL GP Merger Sub LLC, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Andeavor Logistics merged with and into Western Refining Logistics GP, LLC (“WNRL General Partner”) with WNRL General Partner being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Andeavor Logistics. Both WNRL General Partner and Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (“TLGP”) are indirectly owned by Andeavor and as a result, Andeavor controls both WNRL and Andeavor Logistics.

The closing of the WNRL Merger was conditioned upon, among other things, the adoption and effectiveness of the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Andeavor Logistics LP, pursuant to which, simultaneously with the closing of the WNRL Merger: (i) the IDRs held by TLGP were canceled (the “IDR Exchange”), (ii) the general partner interests in Andeavor Logistics held by TLGP were converted into a non-economic general partner interest in Andeavor Logistics (together with the IDR Exchange, the “IDR/GP Transaction”) and (iii) Andeavor and its affiliates, including TLGP, agreed to increase and extend existing waivers on distributions to Andeavor and its affiliates by $60 million to an aggregate of $160 million between

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 

2017 and 2019. As consideration for the IDR/GP Transaction, TLGP was issued 78.0 million common units in Andeavor Logistics simultaneously with the closing of the WNRL Merger, resulting in an approximate 59% ownership interest in Andeavor Logistics.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Andeavor and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. We have evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-K. Any material subsequent events that occurred during this time have been properly recognized or disclosed in our financial statements.

During 2016, we made certain reclassifications to the 2015 period presentations to conform to the 2016 year. In the first quarter of 2016, we revised the process by which we classify certain logistics costs, primarily recognized by Andeavor Logistics, during consolidation from operating expenses and general and administrative expense to costs of materials and other. This better reflected the distribution costs related to Andeavor’s sale of refined products during the ordinary course of business. This change in process did not impact current or prior segment operating results. However, we reclassified $221 million from costs of materials and other and recognized $177 million in operating expenses and $44 million in general and administrative expenses of the statement of consolidated operations for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Our consolidated financial statements include Andeavor Logistics, a variable interest entity. TLGP, Andeavor’s fully consolidated subsidiary, serves as Andeavor Logistics’ general partner. As the general partner of Andeavor Logistics, we have the sole ability to direct the activities of Andeavor Logistics that most significantly impact its economic performance. We are also considered to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes and are Andeavor Logistics’ primary customer. Under our long-term transportation agreements with Andeavor Logistics (discussed further below), transactions with us accounted for 44%, 59% and 55% of Andeavor Logistics’ total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In the event Andeavor Logistics incurs a loss, our operating results will reflect Andeavor Logistics’ loss, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in Andeavor Logistics. All intercompany transactions with Andeavor Logistics are eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis, based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include bank deposits and low-risk short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. We place our cash deposits and temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. Our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit. We had no cash and cash equivalents held in money market funds.

Receivables

Our receivables primarily consist of customer accounts receivable. Open credit is extended based on an ongoing evaluation of our customers’ financial condition and other factors. In certain circumstances, we may require prepayments, letters of credit, guarantees, or other forms of collateral. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by the large number of customers comprising our customer base and their dispersion across various industries and geographic areas of operations. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is based on numerous factors including current sales amounts, historical write-offs and specific accounts identified as high risk. After reasonable efforts to collect the amounts have been exhausted, balances are deemed uncollectible and are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Write-offs were immaterial in 2017, 2016 and 2015. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We use the last-in, first-out method to determine the cost of petroleum commodities, oxygenates and by-products held by our U.S. subsidiaries. We determine the carrying value of inventories of petroleum commodities held by our foreign subsidiaries and certain refined product inventories for our wholesale business using the first-in, first-out cost method. We value merchandise along with materials and supplies at average cost and using the retail inventory method.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 

Property, Plant and Equipment

We capitalize the cost of additions, major improvements and modifications to property, plant and equipment (“Property Assets”). The cost of repairs to, and normal maintenance of, Property Assets is expensed as incurred. Major improvements and modifications of Property Assets are those expenditures that extend the useful life, increase the capacity or improve the operating efficiency of the asset, or improve the safety of our operations. The cost of Property Assets constructed includes interest and certain overhead costs allocable to the construction activities. Capitalized interest totaled $49 million, $31 million and $36 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and is recorded as a reduction to net interest and financing costs in our statements of consolidated operations.

We compute depreciation of Property Assets using the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful life and salvage value of each asset. We record Property Assets under capital leases at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate or the fair value of the leased property at the date of lease inception. We depreciate leasehold improvements and Property Assets acquired under capital leases over the lesser of the lease term or the economic life of the asset. Depreciation expense totaled $656 million, $537 million and $491 million for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligations
We record asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) at fair value in the period in which we have a legal obligation to incur costs, whether by government action or contractual arrangement, to retire a tangible asset and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. AROs are calculated based on the present value of the estimated removal and other closure costs using our credit-adjusted risk-free rate given an estimated settlement date for the obligation. We estimate settlement dates by considering our past practice, industry practice, management’s intent and estimated economic lives. We cannot currently estimate the fair value for certain potential AROs primarily because we cannot estimate settlement dates (or range of dates) associated with these assets. These AROs include, but are not limited to, the disposal of hazardous materials used in our production processes and the removal or dismantlement of refining and terminal facilities, pipelines and other buildings. We have not historically incurred significant AROs for hazardous materials disposal or other removal costs associated with asset retirements or replacements during scheduled maintenance projects. This precludes development of assumptions about the potential timing of settlement dates based on there being no plans to retire or dispose of the assets, our plans to extend the assets’ economic lives through scheduled maintenance and updating for technological advances, our history of rarely retiring similar assets in the past and industry practices for similar assets. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had $41 million and $26 million recorded for AROs, respectively. During 2017, partially due to the Western Refining Acquisition, there were $17 million of additions to AROs. There was no material change in AROs in 2016.

Acquired Intangibles and Goodwill

Acquired intangibles are recorded at fair value as of the date acquired and consist primarily of customer relationships, air emission credits, trade names and plans, liquor licenses, favorable leases, intellectual property, franchise rights and a master franchise license for the ampm® convenience store brand (“ampm® license”). We amortize acquired intangibles with finite lives on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 1 to 35 years, and we include the amortization of acquired intangibles in depreciation and amortization expense in our statements of consolidated operations. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of the ARCO® and SUPERAMERICA® brands, liquor licenses and associated registered trademarks for certain of our retail stations as well as perpetual emission credits. See Note 7 for further information on our amortization expense for acquired intangibles.

Goodwill represents the amount the purchase price exceeds the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. We do not amortize goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. We are required, however, to review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. In such circumstances, we record the impairment in (gain) loss on asset disposals and impairments in our statements of consolidated operations. We review the recorded value of goodwill for impairment on November 1st of each year, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may exceed fair value using qualitative and/or quantitative assessments at the reporting level. Our review of goodwill is discussed further in Note 7.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review Property Assets and other long-lived assets, including acquired intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the net book values of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment is indicated when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ net book value. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and net book value. Factors that indicate potential impairment include: a significant decrease in the market value of the asset, operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the asset and a significant change in the asset’s physical condition or use. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded a long-lived asset impairment of $40 million associated with Vancouver Energy, our venture with Savage Companies, given the terminal project not being approved. The impairment represents the write off of all capital costs previously capitalized in support of the terminal design and engineering.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures

For equity investments that are not required to be consolidated under the variable interest model, we evaluate the level of influence we are able to exercise over an entity’s operations to determine whether to use the equity method of accounting. We use equity method of accounting when we are able to have significant influence over an entity’s operations. Our judgment regarding the level of control over an equity method investment includes considering key factors such as our ownership interest, participation in policy-making and other significant decisions and material intercompany transactions. Amounts recognized for equity method investments are included in other noncurrent assets in our consolidated balance sheets and adjusted for our share of the net earnings or losses of the investee, which are presented separately in our statements of consolidated operations, capital contributions made and cash dividends received. We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. An impairment loss is recorded in earnings in the current period to write down the carrying value of the investment to fair value if a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary. There were no impairments of our equity method investments during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Other Noncurrent Assets

We defer turnaround costs and the costs of certain catalysts (“Deferred Charges”) used in the refinery processing units that have a benefit period that exceeds 1 year and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over the expected periods of benefit, normally ranging from 2 to 10 years. Deferred Charges are amortized over the period of time until the next planned turnaround or catalyst change-out. Amortization for Deferred Charges, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in our statements of consolidated operations, amounted to $293 million, $251 million and $222 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations

We are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state, regional and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the environment, including those governing emissions or discharges to land, air and water, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes and the remediation of contamination. In order to comply with certain of these regulations and ordinances, we are required to reduce our emissions or blend certain levels of biofuels. Otherwise, we are required to obtain allowances or credits (“environmental credits”) to offset the obligations created by our operations. Specific to the RINs required to comply with the RFS2 implemented by the EPA along with allowances and credits needed to comply with the cap-and-trade emission reduction program and low carbon fuel standard implemented by the state of California, we account for environmental credits using an inventory method of accounting. Environmental credits are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet at weighted average cost and expensed as cost of materials and others as they are used to offset obligations incurred by our operations. In determining the weighted average cost of environmental credits, we record environmental credits purchased from third parties at the price paid and environmental credits allocated to us by regulatory agencies or attached to commodities purchased for use in our operations at a cost of zero unless market data indicates an incremental price was paid for the acquisition of the environmental credit. Costs incurred to obtain allowances or credits necessary to comply with other federal, state or local regulations or ordinances are expensed as incurred. The amounts associated with these other regulations or ordinances are not material to our consolidated financial statements.

We record obligations associated with RFS2 and the California programs as obligations are incurred. Our liabilities for environmental credit obligations are comprised of the weighted average cost of credits we hold but are required to be remitted for satisfaction of the obligation generated by our operations plus amounts recognized at fair value for any deficiency in environmental credits held compared to our obligation. Refer to Note 11 for amounts recognized at fair value for environmental credit obligations.

Derivative Instruments

We use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of feedstocks, refined products and energy supplies to or from our refineries, terminals, marketing operations and customers. We also use non-trading derivative instruments to manage price risks associated with inventories above or below our target levels. These derivative instruments typically involve physical commodity forward purchase and sale contracts (“Forward Contracts”), exchange-traded futures (“Futures Contracts”), over-the-counter swaps, including those cleared on an exchange (“Swap Contracts”), options (“Options”) and over-the-counter options (“OTC Option Contracts”), most of which had remaining durations of less than one year as of December 31, 2017. Our positions are monitored daily by our trading controls group to ensure compliance with our risk management policies.

We mark-to-market our derivative instruments and recognize the changes in their fair values, realized or unrealized, in either revenues or cost of materials and other in our statements of consolidated operations, depending on the purpose for acquiring and holding the derivatives. All derivatives are recorded and carried at fair value in receivables, other current assets or accounts

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 

payable in our consolidated balance sheets. Margin deposits represent cash collateral paid between our counterparties and us to support our commodity contracts. We net our asset and liability positions associated with multiple derivative instruments that are executed with the same counterparty when a legal right of offset exists.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities, approximates fair value primarily because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. The borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility, which include variable interest rates, approximate fair value. We estimate the fair value for our fixed rate debt primarily using prices from recent trade activity.

Income Taxes

We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for future income tax consequences that are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their income tax bases. We base the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities on enacted tax rates that we expect will apply to taxable income in the year we expect to settle or recover those temporary differences. We recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that those items will either expire before we are able to realize their benefit or their future deductibility is uncertain.

We recognize the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of any change in income tax rates in the period that includes the enactment date. However, regarding the accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) in December to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. Among other things, SAB 118 provides for a period of up to twelve months from the enactment date to record the effects of the Tax Act. See Note 13 for details regarding our accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act.

We use the flow-through method to account for state investment tax credits earned on eligible capital expenditures. Under this method, the investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense in the year they are earned, except to the extent there is a continuing obligation.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

We recognize separately the overfunded or underfunded status of our pension and other postretirement plans as an asset or liability. A change in the funded status of our defined benefit retirement plans resulting from different outcomes from those assumed or changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period the change occurs. The funded status represents the difference between the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets. The projected benefit obligation is the present value of benefits earned to date by plan participants, including the effect of assumed future salary increases. Plan assets are measured at fair value. We use a December 31st measurement date for plan assets and obligations for all of our plans.

Contingencies

Environmental Matters
We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which change frequently, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require us to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites, install additional controls or make other modifications to certain emission sources, equipment or facilities.

We capitalize environmental expenditures that extend the life or increase the capacity of facilities as well as expenditures that prevent environmental contamination. We expense costs that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation. We record liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Cost estimates are based on the expected timing and extent of remedial actions required by governing agencies, experience gained from similar sites for which environmental assessments or remediation have been completed and the amount of our anticipated liability considering the proportional liability and financial abilities of other responsible parties. Usually, the timing of these accruals coincides with the completion of a feasibility or engineering study and or our commitment to a formal plan of action where a range of costs can be reliably estimated and supported. Certain of our environmental liabilities, specific to long-term monitoring costs that we believe are fixed and determinable, are recorded on a discounted basis. Where the available information is sufficient to estimate the amount of liability, that estimate is used. Where the information is only sufficient to establish a range of probable liability and no point within the range is more likely than other, the lower end of the range is used. Possible recoveries of some of these costs from other parties are not recognized in the financial statements until they become probable. Legal costs associated with environmental

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 

remediation are included as part of the estimated liability. The majority of our environmental liabilities are recorded on an undiscounted basis.

Legal Matters
In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations. These matters may involve large or unspecified damages or penalties that may be sought from us and may require years to resolve. We record a liability related to a loss contingency attributable to such legal matters in accrued liabilities or other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet, depending on the classification as current or noncurrent if we determine the loss to be both probable and estimable. The liability is recorded for an amount that is management’s best estimate of the loss, or when a best estimate cannot be made, the minimum loss amount of a range of possible outcomes.

Acquisitions

We use the acquisition method of accounting for the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed with acquisitions at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Any excess consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to measure the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, any changes in the estimated fair values of the net assets recorded for the acquisitions will result in an adjustment to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our statements of consolidated operations.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues upon delivery of goods or services to a customer. For goods, this is the point at which title is transferred and when payment has either been received or collection is reasonably assured. Revenues for services are recorded when the services have been provided. We record certain transactions in cost of materials and other in our statements of consolidated operations on a net basis. These transactions include nonmonetary crude oil and refined product exchange transactions used to optimize our refinery supply, and sale and purchase transactions entered into with the same counterparty that are deemed to be in contemplation with one another. We include transportation and processing fees charged to customers in revenues in our statements of consolidated operations, while the related costs are included in cost of materials and other.

Federal and state excise taxes, which are remitted to governmental agencies through the Refining segment and collected from customers in the Marketing segment, are included in both revenues and cost of materials and other in our statements of consolidated operations. These taxes were primarily related to sales of gasoline and diesel fuel from continuing operations and totaled $771 million, $577 million and $561 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Cost Classification

Cost of materials and other includes the purchase cost of commodities sold within our Refining and Logistics segments along with the cost of inbound transportation and distribution costs incurred to transport product to our customers, gains and losses related to our commodity hedging activities and the cost of merchandise sold through our Marketing segment. Additionally, lower of cost or market valuation adjustments impact our cost of materials and other but are separately presented in our statements of consolidated operations.

Operating expenses is comprised of direct and indirect operating costs. Direct operating expenses reflect costs incurred for direct labor, repairs and maintenance, outside services, chemicals and catalysts, utility costs, including the purchase of electricity and natural gas used by our facilities, property taxes, environmental compliance costs related to current period operations, rent expense and other direct operating expenses incurred in the production of refined products sold through our Marketing or Refining segments or the provision of services in our Logistics segment. Indirect operating expense represents allocated labor and other administrative costs for centralized personnel that influence our underlying operations, environmental remediation costs unrelated to current period operations, and other costs that are related, but not directly, to our segment operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 


Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of the depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment, turnaround expenditures, marketing branding costs and intangible assets related to our operating segments along with our corporate operations. General and administrative expenses represent costs that are not directly or indirectly related to or otherwise are not allocated to our marketing, logistics or refining operations. Cost of materials and other, any lower of cost or market valuation adjustments, direct operating expenses incurred across our operating segments, and depreciation and amortization expenses recognized by our Marketing, Logistics and Refining segments (refer to amounts disclosed in Note 19) constitute costs of revenue as defined by U.S. GAAP.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation includes performance share awards, market stock units, stock options, restricted common stock, restricted stock units, liability-based phantom stock and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). We also acquired phantom stock and cash performance awards as a result of the Merger, which were evaluated upon change in control on June 1, 2017 for appropriate fair values.

The grant date fair value of performance share awards based on performance conditions, restricted common stock awards and restricted stock units are equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair values of market stock units and performance shares based on market conditions are estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation on the date of grant, while stock options are estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of grant. The fair values of our SARs and phantom stock are remeasured at the end of each reporting period. SARs and phantom stock are recorded in other current liabilities in our statement of financial position. Since we do not have any SARs awards outstanding at December 31, 2017 and our liability balance is at zero, we do not anticipate any further remeasurements or transactions related to SARs. We primarily amortize the fair value of our stock-based awards using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Our stock-based compensation expense includes estimates for forfeitures and volatility based on our historical experience. If actual forfeitures differ from our estimates, we adjust stock-based compensation expense accordingly. Expenses related to stock-based compensation are included in operating expenses and in general and administrative expenses in our statements of consolidated operations.

Earnings per Share

We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net earnings attributable to Andeavor stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the effects of potentially dilutive shares, principally consisting of common stock options and unvested restricted stock, restricted stock units, market stock units and performance share awards outstanding during the period. Additionally, for the diluted earnings per share computation, net earnings attributable to Andeavor is reduced, where applicable, for the decrease in earnings from Andeavor’s limited partner unit ownership in Andeavor Logistics that would have resulted assuming the incremental units related to Andeavor Logistics’ equity incentive plans had been issued during the respective periods.

New Accounting Standards and Disclosures

Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and has since amended the standard with ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date,” ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” and ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (collectively, “ASC 606”). ASC 606 replaces existing revenue recognition rules with a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASC 606 requires expanded disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method.

In 2016, we initiated a project to guide the implementation of the new standard by performing accounting assessments of our contracts with customers and assessing related changes to our systems, business processes, and internal controls. We have completed our adoption efforts for revenue recognition under ASC 606 in the period beginning January 1, 2018 and have implemented changes to our business processes and internal controls for impacted areas.

Under the modified retrospective transition method, a cumulative effect adjustment of $24 million was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings on January 1, 2018, which relates to the timing of recognition on contracts within our Logistics segment for which our customers provide minimum throughput volume commitments that remain subject to claw-back provisions and for changes in the timing of recognition of franchise fees in our Marketing segment. Additionally, we will be making changes to our

presentation of revenues and cost of materials and other for gross presentation of non-cash consideration we receive in the form of natural gas liquids in our Logistics segment and to reflect our election to show all taxes, including excise taxes, imposed on specific revenue producing activities for which we collect payments and remit to government authorities on a net basis. We do not expect the adoption of ASC 606 to have a material impact to the timing or amount of revenue we recognize in future periods.

Inventory
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”), which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test for inventories determined by methods other than last-in-first-out and the retail inventory method, which remain subject to existing impairment models. We adopted ASU 2015-11 as of January 1, 2017, which resulted in changes to how we perform our lower of cost or market tests for inventory. These changes did not have an impact on our financial statements.

Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which amends existing accounting standards for lease accounting and adds additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either a financing lease or operating lease, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement and presentation of cash flows in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted and modified retrospective application is required, however, we do not intend to early adopt the standard. While it is early in our assessment of the impacts from this standard, we expect that the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities not currently reflected in our balance sheet could have a material impact on total assets and liabilities. Additionally, we expect the presentation changes required for amounts currently reflected in our statement of consolidated operations to impact certain financial statement line items. We cannot estimate the impact on our business processes, accounting systems, controls and financial statement disclosures due to the implementation of this standard given the preliminary stage of our assessment.

Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The ASU requires the estimation of credit losses based on expected losses and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. While we are still evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Definition of a Business
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”), which revises the definition of a business and assists in the evaluation of when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and should be applied prospectively. As permitted under ASU 2017-01, we elected to early adopt this standard as of September 30, 2017. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Goodwill
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”), which eliminates the second step from the goodwill impairment test that requires goodwill impairments to be measured as the amount that a reporting unit’s carrying amount of goodwill exceeded its implied fair value of goodwill. Instead, an entity can perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount with any impairment being limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis. As permitted under ASU 2017-04, we have elected to early adopt this standard for our 2017 goodwill impairment tests that were performed as of November 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Pension and Postretirement Costs
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”), which requires the current service-cost component of net benefit costs to be presented similarly with other current compensation costs for related employees on the statements of consolidated operations, and stipulates that only the service cost component of net benefit costs is eligible for capitalization. The Company will present other components of net benefit costs elsewhere on the statements of consolidated operations. ASU 2017-07 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2017 only. The amendments to the presentation of the statements of consolidated operations in this update should be applied retrospectively while the change in capitalized benefit cost is to be applied prospectively. We have evaluated the impact of this standard on our financial statements and determined there will be no impact to net earnings, but it is expected to have an

82 | 
andvlogoprimarycolorrgba21.jpg
 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 

immaterial impact on other line items such as operating income. We did not elect to early adopt and will implement the changes in presentation when the standard becomes effective.

Share-Based Compensation
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment awarded require an entity to apply modification accounting. ASU 2017-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 are to be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date, consequently the impact will be dependent on whether we modify any share-based payment awards and the nature of such modifications. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”), which amends and simplifies existing guidance in order to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. While we are still evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-12, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 2 - Acquisitions and Divestitures

2017 Acquisitions

Western Refining Acquisition
On June 1, 2017, we completed the Western Refining Acquisition. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of Western Refining elected cash consideration of $37.30 per share up to the maximum aggregate cash election of $405 million with each remaining Western Refining share being exchanged for 0.4350 shares of the Company. This resulted in the issuance of 42,617,738 of our shares, which was comprised of 39,499,524 newly issued shares of common stock and 3,118,214 shares of treasury stock. Based on our $83.25 per share closing stock price on June 1, 2017, the aggregate value of consideration paid to Western Refining shareholders was $4.0 billion, including approximately $3.6 billion of our stock and approximately $424 million of cash, including cash payable upon accelerated vesting of Western Refining equity awards. The cash portion of the purchase price, along with the settlement of $1.6 billion of certain Western Refining debt and other transaction related costs, was funded using cash on hand, including the proceeds from the 4.750% Senior Notes due 2023 and the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2026 that we issued in December 2016, and $575 million of funds drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility, the capacity of which increased to $3.0 billion following the Merger.

We accounted for the Western Refining Acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired at their fair values and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation for the Western Refining Acquisition is preliminary and has been allocated based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, pending the completion of an independent valuation and other information as it becomes available to us. We expect that, as we obtain more information, the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed below may change. The purchase price allocation adjustments can be made through the end of Andeavor’s measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

(a)
Estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 28 years have been assumed based on the preliminary valuation.

Goodwill
Andeavor evaluated several factors that contributed to the amount of goodwill presented above. These factors include the acquisition of an existing integrated marketing, logistics and refining business located in areas with access to cost-advantaged feedstocks with an assembled workforce that cannot be duplicated at the same costs by a new entrant. Further, the Western Refining Acquisition provides a platform for future growth through operating efficiencies Andeavor expects to gain from the application of best practices across the combined company and an ability to realize synergies from the geographic diversification of Andeavor’s business and rationalization of general and administrative costs. The amount of goodwill by reportable segment is as follows: Refining $1.9 billion, Logistics $684 million and Marketing $318 million. Based on information evaluated to date, we estimate approximately $2.0 billion of the $2.9 billion in goodwill resulting from the tax-free Merger with Western Refining to be non-deductible for tax purposes. As a result of prior acquisitions, Western Refining has tax-deductible goodwill, in which we received carryover basis, providing tax deductibility for an estimated $972 million of the $2.9 billion in goodwill that otherwise would not be deductible.

Property, Plant and Equipment
The fair value of property, plant and equipment is $3.5 billion. This preliminary fair value is based on a valuation using a combination of the income, cost and market approaches. We have not yet finalized our valuation estimate. The useful lives are based on similar assets of Andeavor.

Acquired Intangible Assets
We estimated the fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets at $316 million. This fair value is based on a preliminary valuation completed for the business enterprise, along with the related tangible assets, using a combination of the income method, cost method and comparable market transactions. We recognized intangible assets associated with customer relationships, franchise rights and favorable leases, all of which will be amortized over a definite-life. We also recognized an intangible asset of approximately $38 million related to liquor licenses and approximately $113 million related to trade names, both of which have indefinite lives. We considered the assets' history, accounting by Western Refining, our plans for the continued use and marketing of the assets, and how a market participant would use the assets in determining whether the intangible assets have an indefinite or definite life. We amortize acquired intangibles with finite lives on a straight-line basis over an estimated weighted average useful life of 13 years, and we include the amortization in depreciation and amortization expenses on our statement of consolidated operations. The gross carrying value of our finite life intangibles acquired from the Western Refining Acquisition was $165 million and the accumulated amortization was $7 million as of December 31, 2017. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $13 million per year for the next five years. We have not yet finalized our valuation estimate and related evaluation of the useful lives; accordingly, future amortization of intangible assets related to customer relationships may be revised.

Contingencies
We assumed environmental, legal and asset retirement obligation liabilities of approximately $19 million in the Western Refining Acquisition. The fair value of these liabilities is preliminary, pending the completion of an independent valuation and other information as it becomes available to us.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 


Interests in WNRL and Minnesota Pipe Line Company
With the Western Refining Acquisition, we acquired a controlling interest in WNRL. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest in WNRL was based on the share price, shares outstanding and the percent of public unitholders of WNRL on June 1, 2017. Following the WNRL Merger on October 30, 2017 as discussed further in Note 3, all ownership interests in WNRL were exchanged for Andeavor Logistics common units, including the portion owned by the public. The public’s ownership now is in Andeavor Logistics and continues to be reported in noncontrolling interest on our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we acquired a 17% common equity interest in Minnesota Pipe Line Company, LLC (“MPL”). We are accounting for our investment in MPL under the equity method of accounting given our ability to exercise significant influence over MPL.

Acquisition Costs
We recognized acquisition costs related to the Western Refining Acquisition of $71 million in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017. Additionally, we recognized $53 million of severance costs, of which $42 million was due to the change of control and $11 million of expected severance and retention payments in future periods. We had $13 million recognized in accrued liabilities remaining to be paid at December 31, 2017.

Western Refining Revenues and Net Earnings
For the period from June 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, we recognized $6.5 billion in revenues and $309 million of earnings before income taxes related to the business acquired. The earnings before income taxes for the period include related acquisition and severance costs along with interest expense incurred related to the acquisition.

Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma information combines the historical operations of Andeavor and Western Refining, giving effect to the merger and related transactions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2016, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

While many recurring adjustments impact the pro forma figures presented, the increase in pro forma net earnings compared to our net earnings presented on the statements of consolidated operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 includes a significant non-recurring adjustment removing acquisition and integration costs from 2017 and reflects these costs in the year ended 2016, the year the acquisition was assumed to be completed for pro forma purposes.

Other Transactions

Rangeland Energy
On January 19, 2018, Andeavor completed its announced acquisition of 100% of the equity of Rangeland Energy II, LLC (“Rangeland”). Rangeland owns and operates assets in the Delaware and Midland Basins in New Mexico and Texas, including a recently constructed crude oil pipeline, three crude oil storage terminals and a fractionation sand storage and truck loading facility. This acquisition is not material to our consolidated financial statements.

2017 Divestiture

On June 2, 2017, pursuant to our consent decree with the state of Alaska associated with our acquisition of certain terminalling and storage assets in Alaska during 2016, Andeavor Logistics sold one of its existing Alaska products terminals (“Alaska Terminal”). The sale of the Alaska Terminal resulted in a $25 million gain on sale being recognized in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Alaska Terminal divestiture did not have an impact on our Logistics segment’s operations.

Commercial Agreements with Andeavor Logistics

Andeavor Logistics generates revenue by charging fees for gathering crude oil, natural gas, and water, for terminalling, transporting and storing crude oil and refined products in terminals and storage tanks, processing and fractionating NGLs, a fleet of asphalt, crude and refined product delivery trucks and the sale of fuel through wholesale commercial contracts. We do not provide financial or equity support through any liquidity arrangements or financial guarantees to Andeavor Logistics. In connection with the acquisitions between Andeavor and Andeavor Logistics, we entered into long-term, fee-based storage and throughput and use agreements.

Andeavor Logistics provides us with various pipeline transportation, wholesale, trucking, terminal distribution, gas processing, storage and coke-handling services under various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements expiring 2018 through 2034. These include ten-year use and throughput agreements and ten-year transportation agreements. Many of these agreements, with the exception of the storage and transportation services agreement, contain minimum volume commitments. Each agreement has fees that are indexed for inflation and provides us options to renew for 2 additional five-year terms.

Other Agreements with Andeavor Logistics

Fourth Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement
We entered into an omnibus agreement with Andeavor Logistics at the closing of Andeavor Logistics’ initial public offering in April 2011 (the “Initial Offering”). The omnibus agreement, most recently amended on October 30, 2017 (the “Fourth Amended Omnibus Agreement”) in connection with the WNRL Merger, contains the following key provisions:

Non-compete clause between us and Andeavor Logistics effective under certain circumstances;
Right of first offer to Andeavor Logistics for certain of our retained logistics assets, including certain terminals, pipelines, docks, storage facilities and other related assets located in California, Alaska and Washington;
Payment of an annual fee to us for the provision of various general and administrative services;
Reimbursement to Andeavor Logistics for certain maintenance and expansion capital expenditures; and
Indemnification to Andeavor Logistics for certain matters, including pre-Initial Offering environmental, title and tax matters.

Additional acquisitions of assets by Andeavor Logistics from us are governed by the Fourth Amended Omnibus Agreement, with the exception of the indemnifications for the acquisition of the six marketing and storage terminal facilities (the “Los Angeles Terminal Assets”) and the acquisition of the remaining logistics assets (the “Los Angeles Logistics Assets”) initially acquired by us as part of the Los Angeles Acquisition in Southern California (the “Los Angeles Logistics Assets Acquisition”), which are covered by the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement.

Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement
We entered into the Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement with Andeavor Logistics at the closing of the Los Angeles Logistics Assets Acquisition effective December 6, 2013. The Carson Assets Indemnity Agreement establishes indemnification to Andeavor Logistics for certain matters including known and unknown environmental liabilities arising out of the use or operation of the Los Angeles Terminal Assets and the Los Angeles Logistics Assets prior to the respective acquisition dates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 

Secondment and Logistics Services Agreement
In connection with Andeavor Logistics’ purchase of certain terminalling and pipeline assets owned by Andeavor and two of our subsidiaries on July 1, 2014, Andeavor Logistics terminated the operational services agreement entered into at the closing of the Initial Offering and entered into the Secondment and Logistics Services Agreement (the “Secondment Agreement”) with Andeavor to govern the provision of seconded employees to or from Andeavor, Andeavor Logistics, and its subsidiaries, as applicable. The Secondment Agreement, as amended as recently as October 2017, also governs the use of certain facilities of the parties by the various entities. The services to be provided by such seconded employees, along with the fees for such services, will be provided on the service schedules attached to the Secondment Agreement. Specialized services and the use of various facilities, along with the fees for such services, will be provided for in service orders to be executed by parties requesting and receiving the service.

Keep-Whole Commodity Agreement
Andeavor Logistics processes gas for certain producers under “keep-whole” processing agreements. Under a keep-whole agreement, a producer transfers title to the NGLs produced during gas processing, and the processor, in exchange, delivers to the producer natural gas with a BTU content equivalent to the NGLs removed. The operating margin for these contracts is typically determined by the spread between NGLs sales prices and the price paid to purchase the replacement natural gas (“Shrink Gas”). Andeavor Logistics entered into a five-year agreement with Andeavor, which transfers the commodity risk exposure associated with these keep-whole processing agreements from Andeavor Logistics to Andeavor (the “Keep-Whole Commodity Agreement”). Under the Keep-Whole Commodity Agreement with Andeavor, Andeavor pays Andeavor Logistics a fee to process NGLs related to keep-whole agreements and delivers Shrink Gas to the producers on behalf of Andeavor Logistics. Andeavor Logistics pays Andeavor a marketing fee in exchange for assuming the commodity risk. As of 2017, pricing under this agreement is subject to a tiered pricing structure with pricing for a base level of NGLs production and pricing for incremental volumes over 315,000 gallons per day. The pricing for both the base and incremental volumes are subject to revision each year. The impact of the Keep-Whole Commodity Agreement is immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.

Environmental Liabilities

In September 2013, Andeavor Logistics responded to the release of crude oil in a rural field northeast of Tioga, North Dakota (the “Crude Oil Pipeline Release”). The environmental liabilities related to the Crude Oil Pipeline Release include amounts estimated for remediation activities that will be conducted during the next few years to restore the site for agricultural use. An additional $19 million was accrued during the year ended December 31, 2017 to reflect improved scope definition and estimates, which resulted in an increase in the total estimated cost associated with the project. This incident was covered by a pollution liability insurance policy, subject to a $1 million deductible and a $25 million loss limit in place at the time of the release. Pursuant to this policy, there were no insurance recovery receivables related to the Crude Oil Pipeline Release at both December 31, 2017 and 2016. The estimated remediation costs of $93 million exceeded our policy loss limit by $68 million as of December 31, 2017. We received no insurance proceeds for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $18 million in reimbursement of costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Note 4 - Discontinued Operations

On September 25, 2013, we completed the sale of all our interest in Tesoro Hawaii, LLC, (the “Hawaii Business”). We received gross proceeds of $539 million, including $75 million from the sale of assets and $464 million from the sale of inventory and other net working capital. Additional contingent consideration includes an earnout arrangement payable over three years for an aggregate amount of up to $40 million based on consolidated gross margins, as defined in the sale agreement. Any income related to the earnout arrangement will not be recorded until it is considered realizable. During 2016, we recognized $16 million associated with the receipt of earnout payments for the 2014 and 2015 calendar years. The earnout calculation for 2016 has not been agreed upon as of December 31, 2017. We have also agreed to indemnify the purchaser for up to $15 million of environmental remediation costs related to the Hawaii Business, subject to limitations described in the purchase agreement, and retained responsibility for the resolution of certain Clean Air Act matters. In 2017, we recorded income of $13 million related to the lowering of an estimate for remaining regulatory improvements to be made in Hawaii to resolve certain Clean Air Act Matters.

The results of operations for this business have been presented as discontinued operations in the statements of consolidated operations for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. Cash flows related to the Hawaii Business have been combined with the cash flows from continuing operations in the statements of consolidated cash flows for all three years presented.

(a)
As part of the Western Refining Acquisition, we acquired intangible assets associated with customer relationships, franchise rights and favorable leases, all of which will be amortized over a definite-life. We also recognized intangible assets related to trade names and liquor licenses, which have indefinite lives.

All of our acquired intangible assets are subject to amortization with the exception of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets totaling $165 million and $62 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These indefinite-lived intangible assets relate to liquor licenses, trade names and perpetual emission credits within the refinery emissions credits and other category. Amortization expense of acquired intangible assets was $70 million, $63 million and $43 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, our estimated amortization expense is expected to be $75 million for each of the next four years and $73 million in 2022. In accordance with our policies, we performed an impairment assessment on our indefinite-lived intangible assets and no impairments were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

(a)
The Western Refining Acquisition increased our consolidated goodwill by $2.9 billion. See Note 2 for further details regarding our acquisitions.

For 2017, we elected to perform our annual goodwill impairment using a quantitative assessment process on our Logistics segment’s goodwill and the qualitative assessment process on our Marketing and Refining segments’ goodwill. Factors utilized in the qualitative assessments performed on goodwill in our Refining and Marketing segments include, among other things, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, company specific operating results and other relevant entity-specific events affecting individual reporting units.

As part of our quantitative goodwill impairment process for our Logistics segment, we engaged a third party appraisal firm to assist in the determination of estimated fair value for each reporting unit. This determination includes estimating the fair value of each Logistics reporting unit using both the income and market approaches. The income approach requires management to estimate a number of factors for each reporting unit, including projected future operating results, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and discount rates. The market approach estimates fair value using comparable marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping. The determination of the fair value of the reporting units requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, the selection of appropriate peer group companies, control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which we compete, the discount rates, terminal growth rates, and forecasts of revenue, operating income, depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures.

We determined that no impairment charges resulted from our November 1, 2017 goodwill impairment assessments. There were no impairments of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Note 8 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures

For each of the following investments, we have the ability to exercise significant influence over each of these investments through our participation in the management committees, which make all significant decisions. However, since we have equal or proportionate influence over each committee as a joint interest partner and all significant decisions require consent of the other investor(s) without regard to our economic interest, we have determined that these entities should not be consolidated and apply the equity method of accounting with respect to our investments in each entity.

Watson - We own a 51% interest in Watson, which produces steam and electricity at a facility located at our Los Angeles refinery. Our transactions with Watson, which do not have intra-entity profits requiring elimination, consist of sales of fuel gas and water, purchases of steam and electricity and charges for general and administrative support.
MPL - We own a 17% interest in MPL, which owns and operates a crude oil pipeline in Minnesota.
RGS - Andeavor Logistics has a 78% interest in RGS, which owns and operates the infrastructure that transports gas from certain fields to several re-delivery points in southwestern Wyoming, including natural gas processing facilities that are owned by Andeavor Logistics or a third party.
TRG - Andeavor Logistics owns a 50% interest in TRG which operates natural gas gathering assets within the southeastern Uinta Basin and is primarily supported by long-term, fee-based gas gathering agreements with minimum volume commitments.
UBFS - Andeavor Logistics owns a 38% interest in UBFS which owns and operates the natural gas gathering infrastructure located in the southeastern Uinta Basin and is supported by long-term, fee-based gas gathering agreements that contain firm throughput commitments, which generate fees whether or not the capacity is used, and is operated by Andeavor Logistics.

(a)
The carrying amount of our investments in Watson, MPL, RGS, TRG and UBFS exceeded the underlying equity in net assets by $62 million, $35 million, $130 million, $15 million and $6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017. The carrying amount of our investments in Watson, RGS, TRG and UBFS exceeded the underlying equity in net assets by $65 million, $135 million, $16 million and $7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016. The carrying amounts of our investments that exceed the underlying equity in net assets are amortized over the useful life of the underlying fixed assets and included in equity in earnings (loss).
(b)
The reassessment of the investments performed by Andeavor Logistics resulted in the deconsolidation of RGS and the reporting of RGS as an equity method investment. Andeavor Logistics recognized an increase of $295 million to equity method investments as of January 1, 2016 as a result of the deconsolidation.
(c)
Effective September 1, 2016, we became majority owner of Vancouver Energy. As a result, Vancouver Energy was consolidated.

Note 10 - Derivative Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, our profit margins, earnings and cash flows are impacted by the timing, direction and overall change in pricing for commodities used throughout our operations. We use non-trading derivative instruments to manage our exposure to the following:

price risks associated with the purchase or sale of feedstocks, refined products and energy supplies related to our refineries, terminals, marketing fuel inventory and customers;
price risks associated with inventories above or below our target levels;
future emission credit requirements; and
exchange rate fluctuations on our purchases of Canadian crude oil.

Our accounting for derivative instruments depends on whether the underlying commodity will be used or sold in the normal course of business. For contracts where the crude oil or refined products are expected to be used or sold in the normal course of business, we apply the normal purchase normal sale exception and follow the accrual method of accounting. All other derivative instruments are recorded at fair value using mark-to-market accounting. We did not designate any of our derivatives for hedge accounting during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

andvlogoprimarycolorrgba21.jpg
 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 


Our derivative instruments can include Forward Contracts, Futures Contracts, over-the-counter swaps, including swap Contracts, Options, and OTC Option Contracts. Forward Contracts are agreements to buy or sell the commodity at a predetermined price at a specified future date. Futures Contracts are standardized agreements, traded on a futures exchange, to buy or sell the commodity at a predetermined price at a specified future date. Options provide the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the commodity at a specified price in the future. Swap Contracts and OTC Option Contracts require cash settlement for the commodity based on the difference between a contracted fixed or floating price and the market price on the settlement date. Certain of these contracts require cash collateral to be received or paid if our asset or liability position, respectively, exceeds specified thresholds. We believe that we have minimal credit risk with respect to our counterparties.

The following table presents the fair value of our derivative instruments as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The fair value amounts below are presented on a gross basis and do not reflect the netting of asset and liability positions permitted under the terms of our master netting arrangements including cash collateral on deposit with, or received from, brokers. We offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements when a legal right of offset exists. As a result, the asset and liability amounts below will not agree with the amounts presented in our consolidated balance sheets.

Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We classify financial assets and liabilities according to the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities classified as level 1 instruments are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices, such as liquidity, that are observable for the asset or liability. Our level 2 instruments include derivatives valued using market quotations from independent price reporting agencies, third-party brokers and commodity exchange price curves that are corroborated with market data. Level 3 instruments are valued using significant unobservable inputs that are not supported by sufficient market activity. We do not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as level 3 at December 31, 2017 or 2016.

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments. Additionally, our financial liabilities include obligations for RINs and cap and trade emission credits for the state of California (together with RINs, our “Environmental Credit Obligations”). See Note 10 for further information on our derivative instruments. Amounts presented below for Environmental Credit Obligations represent the estimated fair value amount at each balance sheet date for which we do not have sufficient RINs and California cap and trade credits to satisfy our obligations to the EPA and the state of California, respectively.

We offset both the fair value amounts and any related cash collateral amounts recognized for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty when there is a legally enforceable right and an intention to settle net or simultaneously. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had provided cash collateral amounts of $67 million and $88 million, respectively, related to our unrealized derivative positions. Cash collateral amounts are netted with mark-to-market derivative assets.

We believe the carrying value of our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including the short-term duration of the instruments and the expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk. The borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility and our Term Loan Credit Facility, which include variable interest rates, approximate fair value. The fair value of our fixed rate debt is based on prices from recent trade activity and is categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying and fair values of our debt were approximately $7.8 billion and $8.1 billion at December 31, 2017, respectively, and approximately $7.0 billion and $7.3 billion for the carrying and fair values of our debt at December 31, 2016, respectively. These carrying and fair values of our debt do not consider the unamortized issuance costs, which are netted against our total debt.

Andeavor Revolving Credit Facility
On September 30, 2016, we entered into a new senior revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks and financial institutions that provides for a total available revolving capacity of $2.0 billion. The credit availability is not subject to borrowing base redetermination and is scheduled to mature on September 30, 2020. On December 13, 2016, in connection with the Merger, Andeavor entered into an amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement with the banks which provided for an incremental revolving facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion (the “Incremental Revolver”) and increased the aggregate commitments from $2.0 billion to $3.0 billion. The Incremental Revolver was initially borrowed upon to fund the cash consideration payable in connection with the Merger, the repayment and redemption of certain outstanding indebtedness of Western Refining and its subsidiaries and the payment of fees and expenses associated with the foregoing. The Incremental Revolver converted into a single tranche with the existing commitments and is now available for working capital and general corporate purposes.

We had unused credit availability of 98% of the borrowing capacity at December 31, 2017. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was 5.00% at December 31, 2017. Borrowings bear interest at either a base rate (4.50% at December 31, 2017), plus the applicable spread, or a Eurodollar rate (1.56% at December 31, 2017 (1M LIBOR)), plus the applicable spread. The applicable spread at December 31, 2017 was 0.50% in the case of the base rate and 1.50% in the case of the Eurodollar rate but will vary generally based on the credit ratings in effect on Andeavor’s senior, unsecured, non-credit enhanced long-term debt. The commitment fee for the unused portion of the facility was 0.225% at December 31, 2017.

After Andeavor achieved an investment grade credit rating from S&P Global Ratings, the subsidiary guarantees and collateral were automatically released and the Revolving Credit Facility became unsecured effective as of June 15, 2017.

The Revolving Credit Facility allows us to obtain letters of credit under separate letter of credit agreements for foreign crude oil purchases. Our uncommitted letter of credit agreements had $139 million outstanding as of December 31, 2017. Letters of credit outstanding under these agreements incur fees ranging from 0.45% to 0.90% and are secured by the crude oil inventories for which they are issued. Capacity under these letter of credit agreements is available on an uncommitted basis and can be terminated by either party at any time.

Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility and Dropdown Credit Facility
The Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility provided for total loan availability of $600 million as of December 31, 2017, and Andeavor Logistics may request that the loan availability be increased up to an aggregate of $2.1 billion, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders. The Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility is non-recourse to Andeavor, except for TLGP, and is guaranteed by all of Andeavor Logistics’ subsidiaries, with the exception of certain non-wholly owned subsidiaries acquired in the Rockies Natural Gas Business acquisition. Borrowings are available under the Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility up to the total loan availability of the facility. As of December 31, 2017, there was $423 million in borrowings outstanding under the Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility, which had unused credit availability of approximately 29% of the borrowing capacity. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility was 3.10% at December 31, 2017.

On January 29, 2016, Andeavor Logistics syndicated a new $1.0 billion secured Andeavor Logistics Dropdown Credit Facility. The primary use of proceeds under this facility will be to fund asset acquisitions. The terms, covenants and restrictions under this facility are substantially the same as the amended secured Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility. The Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility and Andeavor Logistics Dropdown Credit Facility both mature on January 29, 2021.

On November 9, 2017, Andeavor Logistics entered into an agreement and consent with the lenders under the Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility and the Dropdown Credit Facility, which provided that, for purposes of such facilities, the “Investment Grade Date” (as defined in such facilities) was deemed to have occurred and resulted in the release of all collateral pledged by Andeavor Logistics and certain of its subsidiaries under the Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility and the Dropdown Credit Facility. As a result, from and following November 9, 2017, Andeavor Logistics and its subsidiaries are no longer required to secure the obligations under the Andeavor Logistics credit facilities and certain covenants and restrictions under each facility were automatically eliminated or improved. Andeavor Logistics has terminated the security interests related to the Andeavor Logistics credit facilities.

On January 5, 2018, the Partnership amended the existing Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate commitments under the Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Agreement from $600 million to $1.1 billion, (ii) add certain financial institutions as additional lenders under the Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Agreement and (iii) make certain changes to the Andeavor Logistics credit facility agreements to permit the incurrence of an additional $500 million of incremental loans under the Andeavor Logistics credit facility agreements subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

(a)
The benefit associated with the revaluation of our net deferred tax liabilities was offset by increases in deferred tax liabilities primarily related to amounts recognized in conjunction with the Western Refining Acquisition.

With the acquisition of Western Refining, we acquired state net operation loss carryforwards in certain jurisdictions, as well as federal and state tax credit carryforwards. These carryforwards are reflected as deferred tax assets in the table above and have been partially reduced by a valuation allowance for the amounts which we do not expect to realize. The realization of our other deferred tax assets depends on our ability to generate future taxable income. Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that we will realize those deferred tax assets.

The Tax Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. As of December 31, 2017, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Act; however, we have made a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances. We recognized a provisional tax benefit of $918 million which is included as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations. This benefit reflects the revaluation of our net deferred tax liability based on a U.S. federal tax rate of 21%. We may make adjustments to the provisional amount during the SAB 118 measurement period, which could result from future changes in interpretation of the Tax Act, changes to estimates made by us and/or issuance of additional regulatory guidance.

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S., multiple state jurisdictions and a few foreign jurisdictions. Our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $217 million and $182 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of which $35 million and $6 million each year have been recognized as tax liabilities. Included in unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 are $206 million and $172 million (net of the tax benefit on state issues), which would reduce the effective tax rate if recognized.

It is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by as much as $13 million in the next twelve months, related primarily to state apportionment matters, all of which is recognized as a liability. We accrued $7 million and $2 million at both December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for interest and penalties including balances from the Western Refining Acquisition. We did not recognize an increase or reduction in interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits in the statements of consolidated operations during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, or 2015. For interest and penalties relating to income taxes we recognize accrued interest in net interest and financing costs and penalties in general and administrative expenses in the statements of consolidated operations. Andeavor’s tax years 2009 forward remain open to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities, except for California, which remains open from the year 2006. Western and Northern Tier’s tax years 2013 forward remain open to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities, except for New Mexico, which remains open from the year 2011.

received from the federal government during the years being amended. However, due to the complex and uncertain nature of the issue, we are unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that we will sustain the claims. Therefore, we have neither recognized a tax benefit, nor recorded a receivable for this item.

Note 14 - Benefit Plans

Benefits Summary

We sponsor five defined benefit pension plans, including two qualified plans and three nonqualified plans, which are described below:

The funded, qualified employee pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) provides benefits to all eligible employees. Benefits are determined based on final average compensation and years of service through December 31, 2010, and a cash balance account based formula for service beginning January 1, 2011. Although our funded employee retirement plan fully meets all of the funding requirements under applicable laws and regulations, we contributed $87 million during 2017 and $60 million for both 2016 and 2015;
The unfunded, nonqualified restoration pension plan provides for the restoration of pension benefits to certain senior level employees that are not provided under the qualified pension plan due to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code;
The unfunded, nonqualified executive security plan provides certain executive officers with supplemental pension benefits. These benefits are provided by a nonqualified, noncontributory plan and are based on years of service and compensation. We made payments of $1 million, $15 million and $1 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for current retiree obligations under the plan;
The unfunded, nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan provides eligible senior level executives a supplemental pension benefit in excess of those earned under the qualified pension plan. Effective January 1, 2015, this plan was frozen to new participants; and
The funded NTI defined benefit cash balance pension plan provides benefits to all eligible employees. Employer contributions are made to the cash account of the participants equal to 5.0% of eligible compensation. Participants’ cash accounts also receive interest credits each year based upon the average thirty year United States Treasury bond rate published in September preceding the respective plan year. In 2016, the Company curtailed this benefit effective January 1, 2017 whereby we will no longer credit employees for service or interest related to service years after 2016. On July 1, 2017, we announced that we are terminating this plan and we expect to distribute all plan assets during 2018.

Andeavor provides health care benefits to retirees who met certain eligibility requirements and were participating in our group health insurance program at retirement. Other medical and postretirement plans offered to certain eligible retirees of Western and NTI include:

The unfunded NTI retiree medical plan provides retirees with health care benefits prior to age 65 (the “NTI Retiree Medical Plan”) for eligible employees. Eligible employees may participate in the health care benefits after retirement subject to cost-sharing features. To be eligible for the NTI Retiree Medical Plan, employees must have completed at least ten years of service and be between the ages of 55 and 65 years old;
The unfunded Western Refining Company, L.P. Postretirement Medical, Prescription Drug and Dental Benefits Plan provides certain El Paso employees with supplemental postretirement benefits; and
The unfunded Western Refining Yorktown Retiree Medical Plan provides certain Yorktown employees with supplemental postretirement benefits.

In addition, Andeavor sponsors four 401(k) plans under which eligible employees may make contributions, subject to certain limitations, into designated investment funds with a contribution by Andeavor. Effective January 1, 2018, all Andeavor employees participate in either the Andeavor 401(k) Plan or the Andeavor Retail 401(k) Plan. Also effective January 1, 2018, the Western Refining 401(k) Plan and the Northern Tier Energy Retirement Savings Plan were frozen to new contributions.

We determine the discount rate primarily by reference to the effective yields on high quality corporate bonds that have a comparable cash flow pattern to the expected pension and other postretirement benefit payments to be made.
(b)
The expected return on plan assets reflects the weighted-average of the expected long-term rates of return for the broad categories of investments held for the Pension Plan. The expected long-term rate of return is adjusted when there are fundamental changes in expected returns on the Pension Plan’s investments.

Assumed health care cost trend rates could have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. However, at December 31, 2017, a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have less than a million dollar effect on the service and interest cost components and on our postretirement benefit obligation.

Pension Plan Assets

Investment Policies and Strategies
The assets supporting the Pension Plan are invested using a total return investment approach (including dividends, interest, and realized and unrealized capital appreciation) whereby a mix of equity securities, fixed income securities and other investments are used to preserve asset values, diversify risk and achieve our target investment return. Plan assets are managed in a diversified portfolio comprised of two primary components: an equity portion and a fixed income portion. The expected role of the plan’s equity investments is to maximize the long-term real growth of plan assets, while the role of fixed income investments is to generate current income, lower funded status volatility, provide for more stable periodic returns and provide protection against a prolonged decline in the equity markets. Investment strategies and asset allocation decisions are based on careful consideration of risk tolerance, plan liabilities, the plan’s funded status and our financial condition. Our target allocation is as follows: 50% long duration fixed income, 30% equity and 20% other investments comprised primarily of assets that provide protection in inflationary periods and investments, which target a return regardless of market conditions. Our actual allocation of retirement plan assets at December 31, 2017 were 46% long duration fixed income, 34% equity and 20% other investments.

Fair Value of Plan Assets
We classify plan assets into three classifications or levels in the fair value hierarchy. Our level 1 investments include equity, fixed income and other mutual funds, which are based on market quotations from national securities exchanges. The common/collective trust funds and short-term investment funds are valued at the net asset value of the fund as determined by the fund manager, using net asset value as a practical expedient. None of these investment are categorized in the fair value table below. When market prices are not readily available, the determination of fair value may rely on factors such as significant market activity or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets. We did not hold any level 2 or level 3 assets in our investments as of December 31, 2017 or 2016. We do not believe that there are any significant concentrations of risk within our plan assets.

(a)
Mutual funds that invest primarily in domestic and international equity and fixed income securities. Fair values are based on market quotations from national securities exchanges. Absolute return and real return mutual funds consist of investments in mutual funds that invest in a broad set of asset classes designed to provide a target return regardless of market conditions or the potential for real returns in excess of U.S. inflation, respectively. The fixed income mutual funds provide diversified exposure to high credit quality, long-term and short-term, U.S. investment grade bonds. All mutual funds and a U.S. equity mutual fund are categorized as level 1 investments.
(b)
Common/collective trust funds that invest in primarily equity and fixed income securities. Fair values reflect the net asset value per share, as determined by the investment manager and derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities.
(c)
The short-term investment funds provide for safety of principal and daily liquidity and is valued using the net asset value per share.

Defined Contribution Plans

401(k) Plan
We sponsor an employee 401(k) plan (formally known as the “Thrift Plan”) that provides for contributions, subject to certain limitations, by eligible employees into designated investment funds with a matching contribution by Andeavor. Employees may elect tax-deferred or Roth treatment in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. We match 100% of employee contributions, up to 6% of the employee’s eligible compensation (subject to applicable union collective bargaining agreements).

We began a profit-sharing contribution to the 401(k) Plan effective January 1, 2013. This discretionary contribution, calculated as a percentage of employee’s base pay based on a pre-determined target for the calendar year, can range from 0% to 4% based on actual performance. Contributions will normally be made following the performance year. All employees eligible for the 401(k) Plan who are employed on December 31st of the year the results are achieved are qualified to receive this contribution, even if they are not contributing to the 401(k) Plan. Our contributions to the 401(k) Plan amounted to $39 million, $60 million and

 
 
December 31, 2017 | 111

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 

$57 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For 2017, $7 million was accrued for discretionary contributions under the profit-sharing program for payments in February 2018; however, there were no discretionary contributions accrued in 2016 for payment in 2017.

Western Refining and NTI both sponsor a 401(k) defined contribution plan under which participants may contribute a percentage of their eligible compensation to various investment choices offered by the plan. A safe harbor matching contribution is made by the Company to the account of each participant who has completed 12 months of service equal to 175% of the first 6% of compensation. We contributed $12 million during 2017 following the Merger. These plans were frozen at the end of 2017.

Retail 401(k) Plan
Effective January 1, 2018, we implemented a new Retail 401(k) Plan for our retail store employees, bakery employees and bakery drivers. Eligible employees may enroll any time after hire; however, if they do not elect to contribute a percentage of their eligible earnings, they will be deemed to have elected to contribute 3% of eligible earnings on a pre-tax basis under the Retail 401(k) Plan’s automatic enrollment feature, unless the participant responds with an election of another rate. Additionally, the Retail 401(k) Plan provides for the automatic increase of the employees’ contribution percentage by 1% each year, up to 6% of eligible earnings, unless the participant elects to opt out. The Company provides an annual contribution of 5% of earnings, regardless of participation, for eligible employees who are employed on the last day of each year.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

We also sponsor a non-qualified executive deferred compensation plan, which provides eligible employees the opportunity for additional pre-tax deferrals and company contributions not provided under our qualified 401(k) Plan due to compensation and deferral limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code.

Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases, Purchase Obligations and Other Commitments

We have various cancellable and noncancellable operating leases related to land, office and retail facilities, ship charters, tanks and equipment and other facilities used in the storage, transportation, and sale of crude oil, feedstocks and refined products. Rental expense for all operating leases, gross of sublease income, including leases with a term of one month or less, was $613 million in 2017, $576 million in 2016 and $569 million in 2015.

The majority of our future operating lease payments relate to marine transportation, railcar, office and retail station leases. As of December 31, 2017, we had 18 ships on time charter used to transport crude oil and refined products. These ships have remaining time charters expiring between 2018 and 2022, with options to renew. We also time charter tugs and product barges with terms ending in 2018, most with options to renew and some with rate escalation clauses. Our time charters contain initial terms up to five years. Our railcar leases have varying terms ending in 2018 through 2027 and our office leases have remaining terms up to 19 years. We have operating leases for most of our retail stations with primary remaining terms up to 36 years, most of which contain renewal options and escalation clauses.

Andeavor’s contractual purchase commitments consist primarily of crude oil supply contracts for our refineries from several suppliers with noncancellable remaining terms ranging up to ten years with renewal provisions. In addition to these purchase commitments, we also have minimum contractual capital spending commitments totaling approximately $491 million in 2018.

We have certain commitments or obligations for the transportation of crude oil refined products and NGLs as well as to purchase industrial gases, chemical processing services and utilities associated with the operation of our refineries. The minimum commitments extend as many as 14 years. We recognized expense of approximately $736 million, $620 million and $687 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, under these take-or-pay contracts.

Prices under the term agreements fluctuate due to market-responsive and other contract-specific pricing provisions. To estimate our annual commitments under these contracts, we estimated crude oil prices using exchange-traded crude future prices by crude oil type as of December 31, 2017, with prices ranging from $52 per barrel to $65 per barrel, and volumes based on the contract’s minimum purchase requirements over the term of the contract.

Environmental Liabilities

We are incurring and expect to continue to incur expenses for environmental remediation liabilities at a number of currently and previously owned or operated refining, pipeline, terminal and retail station properties. We have accrued liabilities for these expenses and believe these accruals are adequate based on current information and projections that can be reasonably estimated. Additionally, we have recognized environmental remediation liabilities assumed in past acquisitions from the prior owners that include amounts estimated for site cleanup and monitoring activities arising from operations at refineries, certain terminals and pipelines, and retail stations prior to the dates of our acquisitions. Our environmental accruals are based on estimates including engineering assessments, and it is possible that our projections will change and that additional costs will be recorded as more information becomes available.

(a)
Includes $16 million and $22 million of Andeavor Logistics environmental liabilities at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Our environmental liabilities include $134 million and $170 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, related to amounts estimated for site cleanup activities arising from operations at our Martinez refinery and operations of assets acquired in the Los Angeles Acquisition prior to their respective acquisition dates. We are at various stages of remediation with respect to these assumed liabilities, which may require additional amounts to be recognized for remediation as more information becomes available in the future or changes in scope occur. The amounts recognized to date reflect management’s best estimate of amounts determined to be estimable based on facts known at this time. Future changes in amounts recognized for these assumed liabilities may have a material impact on our results of operations. Of the $134 million accrued at December 31, 2017, approximately $25 million is subject to a cost-share agreement for the Martinez refinery where we are responsible for 75% of the expenditures.

Our estimates for site cleanup activities reflect amounts for which we are responsible under applicable cost-sharing arrangements. On July 10, 2015, a federal court issued an order denying coverage pursuant to insurance policies for environmental remediation liabilities at our Martinez refinery and those liabilities are included in our accruals above. The insurer had filed a declaratory relief action challenging coverage of the primary policy assigned to us when we acquired the refinery. The policies provide for coverage up to $190 million for expenditures in excess of $50 million in self-insurance. We have not recognized possible insurance recoveries under the policies and have appealed the order.

Refer to Note 3 for additional environmental matters relating to Andeavor Logistics.

Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. Large, and sometimes unspecified, damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters. We have not established accruals for these matters unless a loss is probable, and the amount of loss is currently estimable. See current legal proceedings in Part I, Item 3.

Tax

We are subject to extensive federal, state and foreign tax laws and regulations. Newly enacted tax laws and regulations, and changes in existing tax laws and regulations, could result in increased expenditures in the future. Congress and the administration continue to explore options for reform of the domestic corporate tax code. Several of these options, if enacted into law, could have a significant impact on our tax liability. We are also subject to audits by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities in the normal course of business. It is possible that tax audits could result in claims against us in excess of recorded liabilities. However, we believe that resolution of any such claim(s) would not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations. It is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by as much as $13 million in the next twelve months, related primarily to state apportionment matters.

Issuance of Preferred Units

On December 1, 2017, Andeavor Logistics issued and sold $600 million of its 6.875% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (“Preferred Units”) at a price to the public of $1,000 per unit. The Partnership used the net proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Units (i) to primarily redeem $500 million principal amount of its 6.250% 2022 Notes, (ii) to repay a portion of the borrowings under the Andeavor Logistics Revolving Credit Facility and (iii) to pay fees and expenses associated with the foregoing. Amounts recorded related to the Preferred Unit issuance are presented in noncontrolling interest in our consolidated balance sheet.

The Preferred Units do not participate in the earnings of Andeavor Logistics, but are eligible for distributions that will accrue and be cumulative from the original issue date of the Preferred Units and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on the 15th day of February and August of each year through and including February 15, 2023. The first such payment was made on February 15, 2018. After February 15, 2023, distributions will be made quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of February, May, August, and November of each year (each, a “Distribution Payment Date”) to holders of record as of the close of business on the first business day of the month of the applicable Distribution Payment Date. A pro-rated initial distribution on the Preferred Units will be payable on February 15, 2018 in an amount equal to approximately $14.132 per Preferred Unit. If any Distribution Payment Date otherwise would fall on a day that is not a business day, declared distributions will be paid on the immediately succeeding business day without the accumulation of additional distributions.

The initial distribution rate for the Preferred Units from and including the original issue date of the Preferred Units to, but not including, February 15, 2023 will be 6.875% per annum of the $1,000 liquidation preference per Preferred Unit (equal to $68.75 per Preferred Unit per annum). On and after February 15, 2023, distributions on the Preferred Units will accumulate for each distribution period at a percentage of the liquidation preference equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.652%.

Share Repurchases

We are authorized by our Board to purchase shares of our common stock in open market transactions at our discretion. The Board’s authorization has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Purchases of our common stock can also be made to offset the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards and to meet our obligations under employee benefit and compensation plans, including the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock and to fulfill other stock compensation requirements. The current program initially authorized $1.0 billion in share repurchases. In October 2015, the Board authorized an additional $1.0 billion in share repurchases that became effective upon the full completion of the initial program. On November 16, 2016, the Board approved a further $1.0 billion of share repurchases. We purchased approximately 7.0 million and 3.2 million shares of our common stock in each year for approximately $692 million and $250 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Preferred Stock

We have 5.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized with no par value per share. No shares of preferred stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Cash Dividends

On February 14, 2018, our Board declared a cash dividend of $0.590 per share, payable on March 15, 2018 to shareholders of record on February 28, 2018.

Note 17 - Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

We issue stock-based awards as described below to employees under the Amended and Restated 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”). We also have issued awards under our Amended and Restated 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”), Amended and Restated Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan and Non-Employee Director Stock Plan. Andeavor had 2,773,640 shares available for future grants under our plans at December 31, 2017, assuming a 200% payout of performance-based awards. Usually, when stock options are exercised or when restricted common stock is granted, we issue new shares rather than issuing treasury shares. Our plans are described below.

The 2011 Plan permits the grant of stock options, SARs, restricted common stock, restricted stock units and incentive bonuses (which may be paid in cash, stock or a combination thereof), any of which may be performance-based. The 2011 Plan became effective in May 2011. No awards may be granted under the 2011 Plan on or after February 2021. Stock options may be granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value on the date the options are granted.
The 2006 Plan permits the grant of options, restricted common stock, deferred stock units, performance stock awards, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. The 2006 Plan became effective in May 2006. Stock options may be granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value on the date the options are granted. Options granted become exercisable after one year in 33% annual increments and expire 10 years from the date of grant. No further awards may be granted under this plan.
The Amended and Restated Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan, which expired in May 2006, allowed grants in a variety of forms, including restricted stock, nonqualified stock options, SARs, performance share and performance unit awards. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we no longer have outstanding awards in this plan, although there were awards outstanding during 2015 which were all exercised.
The 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan provided for the grant of nonqualified stock options over the life of the plan to eligible non-employee directors of Andeavor. These automatic, non-discretionary stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value per share of Andeavor’s common stock at the date of grant. The term of each option is 10 years, and an option becomes exercisable six months after it is granted. The plan expired in February 2010 and no further options may be granted under this plan.

TLGP maintains a unit-based compensation plan for officers and directors of TLGP and its affiliates. The Andeavor Logistics 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated in August 2017, (“Andeavor Logistics Plan”) permits the grant of options, restricted units, phantom units, unit appreciation rights, distribution equivalent rights, unit awards and other unit-based awards. Awards granted during 2017 under the Andeavor Logistics Plan will be settled with Andeavor Logistics units. Compensation expense for these awards was not material to our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 or 2015.

We have aggregated expense for certain award types as they are not considered significant, including awards issued by Andeavor Logistics. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recognized expense of $22 million related to pre-existing Western Refining, NTI and WNRL awards due to accelerated recognition required upon change-in-control on June 1, 2017. These Western Refining and NTI awards were converted to Andeavor shares on June 1, 2017. WNRL awards were converted to Andeavor Logistics units on the effective merger date of October 30, 2017. See Note 2 for additional information.

The income tax effect recognized in the income statement for stock-based compensation was a benefit of $46 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and $28 million for both years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Included in the tax benefit was $18 million and $16 million of tax benefit, respectively, attributable to excess tax benefits from exercises and vestings that occurred during the years, the effects of which were recorded in the Statement of Consolidated Operations pursuant to ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The reduction in current taxes payable recognized from tax deductions resulting from exercises and vestings under all of our stock-based compensation arrangements totaled $37 million for both the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and $75 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Performance Share Awards

Performance Conditions
We last granted performance condition performance share awards under the 2011 Plan in February 2014 and have not granted any since. A performance share award represents the right to receive shares of Andeavor common stock at the end of a 3-year performance period depending on the Company’s achievement of pre-established performance measures. The performance share awards can range from 0% to 200% of the number of original shares granted. The value of the award ultimately paid will be based on return on capital employed, which is measured against the performance peer group over the performance period. The fair value of performance share awards tied to performance measures is estimated using the market price of our common stock on the grant date. The estimated fair value of these performance share awards is amortized over a 3-year vesting period using the straight-line method.

Market Conditions
A market condition award represents the right to receive shares of Andeavor common stock at the end of a 3-year performance period depending on the Company’s achievement of pre-established market conditions. The market condition awards can range from 0% to 200% of the number of original shares granted. The value of the award ultimately paid will be based on relative total shareholder return, which is measured against the performance peer group, XLE Energy Index and the S&P 500 Index over the performance period. The estimated fair value for performance share awards is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model as of the grant date and the related expense is amortized over a 3-year vesting period using the straight-line method.

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility over the most recent three-year period. Expected dividend yield is based on annualized dividends at the date of valuation. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of valuation.

Market Stock Units

These market stock units represent the right to receive a target number of shares that will vest at the end of a 3-year performance period. The number of shares ultimately issued will be based on Andeavor’s stock price changes over the performance period. The market stock units’ potential payout can range from 50% to 200% of the targeted award value, unless the average closing stock price at vesting has decreased more than 50% from the average closing stock price at the grant date, then no market stock units will be paid out. The fair value of each market stock unit is estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The estimated fair value of these market stock units is amortized over a 3-year vesting period using the straight-line method. The estimated weighted average payout percentage for these awards was 133% as of December 31, 2017. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested market stock units totaled $41 million as of December 31, 2017, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of market stock units granted during 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $107.43, $84.84 and $114.57, respectively.

Restricted Common Stock

The fair value of each restricted share on the grant date is equal to the market price of our common stock on that date. The estimated fair value of our restricted common stock is amortized over the vesting period primarily using the straight-line method. These awards primarily vest in annual increments ratably over 3 years. The total fair value of restricted shares vested was $4 million, $2 million and $4 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of restricted common stock granted during 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $81.63, $85.51 and $90.40, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to our non-vested restricted common stock totaled $1 million as of December 31, 2017. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years. The fair value of non-vested restricted common stock, as of December 31, 2017, totaled $5 million.

Stock Options

Under the terms of our stock option plans, the exercise price of options granted is equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of these stock options is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. There were no options granted to our employees during 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Our options primarily become exercisable after one year in 33% annual increments and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The total intrinsic value for options exercised during 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $4 million, $3 million and $19 million, respectively. There were no non-vested stock options as of December 31, 2017. The reduction in current taxes payable from tax deductions associated with stock options exercised during 2017 was $1 million.

Stock Appreciation Rights

A SAR entitles an employee to receive cash in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR. Our SARs become exercisable after three years and expire seven years from the date of grant. The fair value of each SAR is estimated at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We did not grant SARs to our employees during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. We paid cash of $6 million, $21 million and $44 million to settle SARs exercised during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We had $6 million recorded in other current liabilities associated with our SARs awards in our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016. The final vesting of remaining SARs occurred during 2017.

The expected life of SARs granted was based on historical data and represents the period of time that the awards were expected to be outstanding. Expected volatilities were based on the historical volatility of our stock. We used historical data to estimate SAR exercises and employee termination within the valuation model. Expected dividend yield was based on historical dividends paid. The risk-free rate of the award was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of valuation.

Note 19 - Operating Segments

The Company’s revenues are derived from three operating segments: Marketing, Logistics and Refining. Refer to Note 1 for discussion of the operations included within each of our operating segments. Since we do not have significant operations in foreign countries, revenue generated and long-lived assets located in foreign countries are not material to our operations.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on segment operating income and EBITDA. For the purposes of our operating segment disclosure, we present operating income as it is the most comparable measure to the amounts presented in our statements of consolidated operations. Segment operating income includes those revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to management of the respective segment. Marketing and Logistics revenues include intersegment transactions with our Refining segment. Corporate depreciation and corporate general and administrative expenses are excluded from segment operating income.

Effective for the year ended December 31, 2017, in connection with the WNRL Merger, the Wholesale operations within Andeavor Logistics are now included in the Marketing segment. The Marketing segment results have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of Andeavor Logistics’ Wholesale business since the initial acquisition by Andeavor on June 1, 2017.

Changes and Disagreements, Controls and Procedures, and Other Information

Item 9.
Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information that we are required to disclose in reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”), is accumulated and appropriately communicated to management. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined by applicable SEC rules) during the quarter ended December 31, 2017, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

We carried out an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, except as related to disclosure controls and procedures related to Western Refining and WNRL, which were excluded from management’s assessment on internal control over financial reporting, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the reporting period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of Andeavor and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

We acquired Western Refining and WNRL on June 1, 2017, and their combined total assets and revenues constituted 30.9% and 18.6%, respectively, of our consolidated total assets and revenues as shown on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017. We excluded Western Refining and WNRL’s internal control over financial reporting from the scope of management’s 2017 annual assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This exclusion is in accordance with the general guidance issued by the Staff of the SEC that an assessment of a recent business combination may be omitted from management's report on internal control over financial reporting in the first year of consolidation.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013 framework). Based on such assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

The independent registered public accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP, as auditors of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, included herein.

Internal Control
 
 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Andeavor


Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Andeavor’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Andeavor (the “Company”) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the COSO criteria.

As indicated in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Western Refining, Inc. and Western Refining Logistics, LP, which is included in the 2017 consolidated financial statements of the Company and collectively constituted 30.9% of total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 18.6% of revenues for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Western Refining, Inc. and Western Refining Logistics, LP.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes of the Company and our report dated February 21, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
