- Reported net loss attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders of
$(304.6) million, or $(1.88) per diluted share, and adjusted net
income of $86.5 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the first
quarter
- Reported EBITDA of $(307.6) million and adjusted EBITDA of
$268.8 million for the first quarter
- Returned $57.2 million to shareholders through dividends in the
first quarter
HollyFrontier Corporation (NYSE:HFC) (“HollyFrontier” or the
“Company”) today reported first quarter net loss attributable to
HollyFrontier stockholders of $(304.6) million, or $(1.88) per
diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to
net income of $253.1 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, for the
quarter ended March 31, 2019.
The first quarter results reflect special items that
collectively decreased net income by a total of $391.1 million. On
a pre-tax basis, these items include a lower of cost or market
inventory valuation adjustment of $560.5 million, Sonneborn
integration and regulatory costs of $1.3 million and
HollyFrontier's pro-rata share of Holly Energy Partners, L.P.'s
(“HEP”) loss on early extinguishment of debt of $14.7 million.
Excluding these items, net income for the current quarter was $86.5
million ($0.53 per diluted share) compared to $93.2 million ($0.54
per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2019, which excludes
certain items that collectively increased net income by $159.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
HollyFrontier’s President & CEO, Michael Jennings,
commented, “HollyFrontier delivered strong financial results in the
first quarter driven by healthy margins in our refining and
finished lubricants businesses. As we continue to navigate the
COVID-19 pandemic, our top priority remains the health and safety
of our employees, communities and contractors. We are committed to
delivering safe and reliable operations during this challenging
environment. We believe our disciplined approach to capital
allocation, led by our strong balance sheet and liquidity position,
will help position HollyFrontier for long term success.”
The Refining segment reported adjusted EBITDA of $175.9 million
compared to $193.4 million for the first quarter of 2019. This
decrease was primarily driven by lower product margins and higher
laid-in crude costs which resulted in a consolidated refinery gross
margin of $11.32 per produced barrel, a 11% decrease compared to
$12.74 for the first quarter of 2019. Crude oil charge averaged
436,360 barrels per day (“BPD”) for the current quarter compared to
400,430 BPD for the first quarter 2019.
Our Lubricants and Specialty Products segment reported EBITDA of
$32.3 million, compared to $11.2 million in the first quarter 2019.
Rack Forward EBITDA was $76.7 million, compared to $43.6 million in
the prior year.
HEP reported EBITDA of $64.4 million for the first quarter 2020
compared to $93.5 million in the first quarter of 2019. The first
quarter of 2020 includes a non-recurring loss on early
extinguishment of debt of $25.9 million related to its previously
outstanding 6% senior notes due 2024.
For the first quarter of 2020, net cash provided by operations
totaled $190.1 million. During the period, we declared and paid a
dividend of $0.35 per share to shareholders totaling $57.2 million.
At March 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $909.1
million, a $23.9 million increase over cash and cash equivalents of
$885.2 million at December 31, 2019. Additionally, our consolidated
debt was $2,496.0 million. Our debt, exclusive of HEP debt, which
is nonrecourse to HollyFrontier, was $993.9 million at March 31,
2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a decline in U.S. and global
economic activities during the first quarter of 2020. As a result,
the demand for, and the resulting price we receive for, the sale of
our products, including gasoline, jet fuel, lubricants and other
products, has decreased during the last weeks of the first quarter
of 2020. We expect the lower product prices and lower demand to
continue into the second quarter of 2020. Additional detail
regarding the impact of COVID-19 on HollyFrontier will be provided
in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
The Company has scheduled a webcast conference call for today,
May 7, 2020, at 8:30 AM Eastern Time to discuss first quarter
financial results. This webcast may be accessed at:

press release relating to matters that are not historical facts are
“forward-looking statements” based on management’s beliefs and
assumptions using currently available information and expectations
as of the date hereof, are not guarantees of future performance and
involve certain risks and uncertainties, including those contained

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you
that our expectations will prove correct. Therefore, actual
outcomes and results could materially differ from what is
expressed, implied or forecast in such statements. Any differences
could be caused by a number of factors, including, but not limited
to, the extraordinary market environment and effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic, including the continuation of a material decline
in demand for refined petroleum products in markets the Company
serves; risks and uncertainties with respect to the actions of
actual or potential competitive suppliers and transporters of
refined petroleum products or lubricant and specialty products in
the Company’s markets; the spread between market prices for refined
products and market prices for crude oil; the possibility of
constraints on the transportation of refined products or lubricant
and specialty products, the possibility of inefficiencies,
curtailments or shutdowns in refinery operations or pipelines,
whether due to infection in the workforce or in response to
reductions in demand; effects of governmental and environmental
regulations and policies, including the effects of current
restrictions on various commercial and economic activities in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic; the availability and cost of
financing to the Company, the effectiveness of the Company’s
capital investments and marketing strategies, the Company’s
efficiency in carrying out and consummating construction projects;
the ability of the Company to acquire refined or lubricant product
operations or pipeline and terminal operations on acceptable terms
and to integrate any existing or future acquired operations; the
possibility of terrorist or cyberattacks and the consequences of
any such attacks; general economic conditions, including
uncertainty regarding the timing, pace and extent of an economic
recovery in the United States; further deterioration in gross
margins or a prolonged economic slowdown due to COVID-19 could
result in an impairment of goodwill; and other financial,
operational and legal risks and uncertainties detailed from time to
time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Segment Information
Our operations are organized into three reportable segments,
Refining, Lubricants and Specialty Products and HEP. Our operations
that are not included in the Refining, Lubricants and Specialty
Products and HEP segments are included in Corporate and Other.
Intersegment transactions are eliminated in our consolidated
financial statements and are included in Eliminations. Corporate
and Other and Eliminations are aggregated and presented under the
Corporate, Other and Eliminations column.
The Refining segment includes the operations of our El Dorado,
Tulsa, Navajo, Cheyenne and Woods Cross refineries and
HollyFrontier Asphalt Company LLC (“HFC Asphalt”) (aggregated as a
reportable segment). Refining activities involve the purchase and
refining of crude oil and wholesale and branded marketing of
refined products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel. These
petroleum products are primarily marketed in the Mid-Continent,
Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. HFC
Asphalt operates various terminals in Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma.
The Lubricants and Specialty Products segment involves
Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc.’s (“PCLI”) production operations,
located in Mississauga, Ontario, that include lubricant products
such as base oils, white oils, specialty products and finished
lubricants and the operations of our Petro-Canada Lubricants
business that includes the marketing of products to both retail and
wholesale outlets through a global sales network with locations in
Canada, the United States, Europe and China. Additionally, the
Lubricants and Specialty Products segment includes specialty
lubricant products produced at our Tulsa refineries that are
marketed throughout North America and are distributed in Central
and South America, the operations of Red Giant Oil, one of the
largest suppliers of locomotive engine oil in North America and the
operations of Sonneborn, a producer of specialty hydrocarbon
chemicals such as white oils, petrolatums and waxes with
manufacturing facilities in the United States and Europe.
The HEP segment involves all of the operations of HEP, a
consolidated variable interest entity, which owns and operates
logistics assets consisting of petroleum product and crude oil
pipelines, terminals, tankage, loading rack facilities and refinery
processing units in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain
regions of the United States. The HEP segment also includes a 75%
interest in UNEV Pipeline, LLC (an HEP consolidated subsidiary),
and a 50% ownership interest in each of Osage Pipeline Company,
LLC, Cheyenne Pipeline LLC and Cushing Connect Pipeline &
Terminal LLC. Revenues from the HEP segment are earned through
transactions with unaffiliated parties for pipeline transportation,
rental and terminalling operations as well as revenues relating to
pipeline transportation services provided for our refining
operations. Due to certain basis differences, our reported amounts
for the HEP segment may not agree to amounts reported in HEP's
periodic public filings.

Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles
Reconciliations of earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA excluding
special items (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to amounts reported under
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in financial
statements.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
referred to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income (loss)
attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders plus (i) interest
expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax expense, and (iii)
depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as
EBITDA plus or minus (i) lower of cost or market inventory
valuation adjustments, (ii) acquisition integration and regulatory
costs (iii) HollyFrontier's pro-rata share of HEP's loss on early
extinguishment of debt and (iv) incremental cost of products sold
attributable to our Sonneborn inventory value step-up.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculations provided for
under accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States; however, the amounts included in these calculations are
derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial
statements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as
alternatives to net income or operating income as an indication of
our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash
flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not
necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies. These are presented here because they are widely used
financial indicators used by investors and analysts to measure
performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by our
management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial
covenants.
Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA and adjusted
EBITDA.

Reconciliations of refinery operating information (non-GAAP
performance measures) to amounts reported under generally accepted
accounting principles in financial statements.
Refinery gross margin and net operating margin are non-GAAP
performance measures that are used by our management and others to
compare our refining performance to that of other companies in our
industry. We believe these margin measures are helpful to investors
in evaluating our refining performance on a relative and absolute
basis. Refinery gross margin per produced barrel sold is total
refining segment revenues less total refining segment cost of
products sold, exclusive of lower of cost or market inventory
valuation adjustments, divided by sales volumes of produced refined
products sold. Net operating margin per barrel sold is the
difference between refinery gross margin and refinery operating
expenses per produced barrel sold. These two margins do not include
the non-cash effects of lower of cost or market inventory valuation
adjustments or depreciation and amortization. Each of these
component performance measures can be reconciled directly to our
consolidated statements of income. Other companies in our industry
may not calculate these performance measures in the same
manner.
Below are reconciliations to our consolidated statements of
income for refinery net operating and gross margin and operating
expenses, in each case averaged per produced barrel sold. Due to
rounding of reported numbers, some amounts may not calculate
exactly.
