July 30, 2015 4:30 AM
Business Wire

PARSIPPANY, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PBF Energy Inc. (NYSE: PBF) today reported second quarter 2015 Operating Income, excluding special items, of $167.8 million versus Operating Income of $87.9 million for the second quarter of 2014. Special items in the second quarter 2015 results include a net, non-cash, after-tax $63.4 million lower-of-cost-or-market (“LCM”) inventory adjustment which increased operating income. Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income for the second quarter 2015, excluding special items, was $80.5 million, or $0.88 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis, as described below, compared to Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income of $34.2 million, or $0.35 per share, for the second quarter 2014. On a GAAP basis, the company reported a second quarter 2015 Net Income of $158.5 million, and Net Income attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $135.8 million or $1.58 per share. This compares to GAAP Net Income of $45.8 million, and Net Income attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $21.0 million or $0.29 per share for the second quarter 2014. PBF Energy’s financial results reflect the consolidation of the financial results of PBF Logistics LP (NYSE: PBFX), a master limited partnership of which PBF indirectly owns the general partner and approximately 53.8% of the limited partner interests as of quarter-end.

Tom Nimbley, PBF Energy’s CEO, said, “The second quarter of 2015 was another in a string of positive quarters for PBF’s East Coast refineries. We feel that the East Coast is proving itself to be a consistent and reliable earner for the company and that our results reflect its valuable contribution. Our Mid-Continent results were as expected given the down-time during the quarter and Toledo missed an opportunity given the market environment.” Mr. Nimbley remarked, “Across our refineries we experienced higher input cost versus the prior quarter which were partially offset by improved margins in both the Mid-Continent and East Coast markets. Economics for rail-delivered crudes remained challenged throughout the quarter and we relied on our sourcing flexibility to maximize our use of more economic waterborne barrels.”

Mr. Nimbley continued, “We are pleased to have announced the completion of the drop down of the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack to PBF Logistics and the agreement to acquire the Chalmette Refinery and its attendant logistics assets. The sale of the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack resulted in aggregate proceeds to PBF Energy of $143 million.” Mr. Nimbley concluded, “Regarding the pending Chalmette acquisiton, based on our preliminary estimates, we expect to increase the annual EBITDA of Chalmette to $245 – $275 million through commercial and refinery optimization opportunities we have identified. We are still in the early stages of the acquisition and as we approach the close, expected near year-end, we will continue to provide updates regarding the potential we see in these soon to be acquired assets. Sufficed to say, we are excited about the Chalmette transaction and, upon closing, we will have grown our refining capacity by 35 percent and added meaningful scale, accretive earnings and diversity to our business. We will continue our focus on operating safely and pursuing additional opportunities to grow the company and increase shareholder value.”

Chalmette Refining LLC Acquisition

On June 18, 2015, PBF announced that its subsidiary signed a definitive agreement to purchase Chalmette Refining, LLC, consisting of the 189,000 barrel per day Chalmette Refinery and related logistics assets, from ExxonMobil and PDV Chalmette, LLC. The purchase price for the assets is $322 million, plus working capital including inventory to be determined at closing. The transaction is expected to close prior to year-end 2015, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

The Chalmette Refinery, located outside of New Orleans, Louisiana, is a 189,000 barrel per day, dual-train coking refinery with a Nelson Complexity of 12.7 and is capable of processing both light and heavy crude oil. The facility is strategically positioned on the Gulf Coast with strong logistics connectivity that offers flexible raw material sourcing and product distribution opportunities, including the potential to export products. In addition to refining assets, the transaction includes 100 percent ownership of the MOEM Pipeline, providing access to the Empire Terminal, as well as the CAM Connection Pipeline, providing access to the LOOP facility through a third party pipeline. The transaction also includes 80 percent ownership in each of the Collins Pipeline Company and T&M Terminal Company, which provide clean products outlets for the refinery via the Plantation and Colonial Pipelines. Also included in the transaction are a marine terminal capable of importing waterborne feedstocks and loading or exporting finished products; a clean products truck rack which provides access to local markets; and a crude and product storage facility with approximately 7.5 million barrels of shell capacity.

PBF Energy Inc. Share Repurchase Program

On August 19, 2014, PBF announced that its board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of PBF Class A common stock. On October 29, 2014, the board of directors approved a $100 million increase to the existing authorization, for a total repurchase authorization of $300 million. The repurchase authorization expires on September 30, 2016.

These repurchases may be made from time to time through various methods, including open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 plans. The timing and number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, capital availability, legal requirements and economic and market conditions. PBF is not obligated to purchase any shares under the repurchase program, and repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

As of the end the second quarter, 5,908,230 shares of Class A common stock have been repurchased at an average price of approximately $24.82 per share, excluding broker fees. After giving effect to shares already purchased under the program, the company has approximately $153 million of available repurchasing authorization under the program going forward. At the end of the quarter, there were 91,069,930 shares of Class A common stock and PBF Energy Company LLC Series A Units outstanding.

PBF Energy Inc. Declares Dividend

The company announced today that it will pay a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share of Class A common stock on August 25, 2015, to holders of record as of August 10, 2015.

Adjusted Fully-Converted Results

Adjusted fully-converted results assume the exchange of all PBF Energy Company LLC Series A Units and dilutive securities into shares of PBF Energy Inc. Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, resulting in the elimination of the noncontrolling interest and a corresponding adjustment to the company’s tax provision.

Non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release, and the discussion during the management conference call, may include references to non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures including Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income, Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income per fully-exchanged, fully-diluted share, gross refining margin, gross refining margin per barrel of throughput, EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization), Adjusted EBITDA and projected EBITDA related to the Chalmette refinery acquisition. PBF believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about its operating performance and financial results. However, these measures have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be viewed in isolation or considered as alternatives for, or superior to, comparable GAAP financial measures. PBF’s non-GAAP financial measures may also differ from similarly named measures used by other companies. See the accompanying tables and footnotes in this release for additional information on the non-GAAP measures used in this release and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

* Incremental depreciation and interest expense is expected to be de minimis.

PBF believes that projected EBITDA provides useful information about the projected operating performance and expected financial results attributable to the Chalmette refinery subsequent to closing of the acquisition and planned improvements PBF intends to implement. We believe projected EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it is a useful measure in assessing the potential contribution of the to-be acquired assets and their future impact to PBF’s consolidated results. Projected EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income as a measure of operating performance. In addition, projected EBITDA is not presented as, and should not be considered, an alternative to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. Projected EBITDA also has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our future results as reported under GAAP.

EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES
FOOTNOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES
 
(1) Adjusted fully-converted information is presented in this table as management believes that these Non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measures, are useful to investors to compare the company’s results across the periods presented and facilitates an understanding of the company’s operating results. The company also uses these measures to evaluate its operating performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The differences between adjusted fully-converted and GAAP results are explained in footnotes 2 through 7.
 
(2) Represents the elimination of the noncontrolling interest associated with the ownership by the members of PBF Energy Company LLC other than PBF Energy Inc., as if such members had fully exchanged their Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy’s Class A common stock.
 
(3) Represents an adjustment to reflect the Company’s statutory corporate tax rate of approximately 40.2% for the 2015 and 2014 periods applied to the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest for all periods presented. The adjustment assumes the full exchange of existing PBF Energy Company LLC Series A Units as described in footnote 2.
 
(4) The non-GAAP measures presented include adjusted fully-converted net income excluding special items, income from continuing operations excluding special items, EBITDA excluding special items, and gross refining margin excluding special items. The special items for the periods presented relate to a lower of cost or market adjustment (LCM). LCM is a GAAP guideline related to inventory valuation that requires inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or market. Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation methodology, in which the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost of sales and inventories are valued at base layer acquisition costs. Market is determined based on an assessment of the current estimated replacement cost and net realizable selling price of the inventory. In periods where the market price of our inventory declines substantially, cost values of inventory may exceed market values. In such instances, we record an adjustment to write down the value of inventory to market value in accordance with GAAP. In subsequent periods, the value of inventory is reassessed and an LCM adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between the prior period and the current period. Although we believe that non-GAAP financial measures excluding the impact of special items provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the results and performance of our business and allow for more useful period-over-period comparisons, such non-GAAP measures should only be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
(5) During the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which resulted in a net pre-tax benefit of $106.0 million reflecting the change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $668.9 million at March 31, 2015 to $562.9 million at June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which resulted in a net pre-tax benefit of $127.2 million reflecting the change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $690.1 million at December 31, 2014 to $562.9 million at June 30, 2015.The net impact of these LCM inventory adjustments are included in the Refining segment’s operating income, but are excluded from the operating results presented in the table in order to make such information comparable between periods.
 
(6) Represents weighted-average diluted shares outstanding assuming the full exchange of common stock equivalents, including options and warrants for PBF LLC Series A Units and options for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock as calculated under the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents excludes the effects of options to purchase 2,874,500 and 2,874,500 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock because they are anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Common stock equivalents excludes the effects of options to purchase 1,867,500 and 1,952,500 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock because they are anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
 
(7) Represents an adjustment to weighted-average diluted shares to assume the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in footnote 2 above if not included in the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as described in footnote 6 above.
 
(8) EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to our GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures of operating performance that are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have their limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
 
(9) We operate in two reportable segments; Refining and Logistics. Our operations that are not included in the Refining and Logistics segments are included in Corporate. The Refining segment includes the operations of our oil refineries and related facilities in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey and Toledo, Ohio. The Logistics segment includes the operations of PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX”), a growth-oriented master limited partnership which owns and operates logistics assets, currently consisting of the Delaware City Rail Terminal, the Toledo Truck Terminal, the DCR West Rack, the Toledo Storage Facility and the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack. The Logistics segment’s results include financial information of the predecessor of PBFX for periods presented prior to May 13, 2014, and the financial information of PBFX for periods beginning on or after May 14, 2014, the completion date of the PBFX initial public offering (“PBFX Offering”). Prior to the PBFX Offering, the DCR West Rack acquisition, the Toledo Storage Facility acquisition and the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack acquisition, PBFX’s assets were operated within the refining operations of PBF Energy’s Delaware City and Toledo refineries. The assets did not generate third party or intra-entity revenue, other than certain intra-entity revenue recognized by the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack, and were not considered to be a separate reportable segment. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements and are included in Eliminations, as applicable.
 
(10) As reported by Platts.
 
(11) Gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel of throughput are non-GAAP measures because they exclude refinery operating expenses, refinery depreciation and amortization and gross margin of PBFX. Gross refining margin per barrel is gross refining margin, divided by total crude and feedstocks throughput. We believe they are important measures of operating performance and they provide useful information to investors because gross refining margin per barrel is a better metric comparison to the industry refining margin benchmarks shown in the Market Indicators Tables, as the industry benchmarks do not include a charge for refinery operating expenses and depreciation. Other companies in our industry may not calculate gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel in the same manner. Although we believe that non-GAAP financial measures excluding the impact of special items provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the results and performance of our business and allow for more useful period-over-period comparisons, such non-GAAP measures should only be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
(12) Represents refinery operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, divided by total crude oil and feedstocks throughput.
 
(13) We define heavy crude oil as crude oil with an American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity less than 24 degrees. We define medium crude oil as crude oil with an API gravity between 24 and 35 degrees. We define light crude oil as crude oil with an API gravity higher than 35 degrees.
