HF Sinclair Corporation (NYSE: DINO) (“HF Sinclair” or the “Company”) today reported first quarter net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders of $314.7 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $353.3 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Excluding the adjustments shown in the accompanying earnings release table, adjusted net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders for the first quarter of 2024 was $142.3 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to $394.1 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023.

HF Sinclair’s Chief Executive Officer, Tim Go, commented, “We are pleased to report our first quarter, 2024 results. We continue to advance our corporate strategy focused on improving reliability, optimizing and integrating our portfolio and generating strong cash flows to support our cash return strategy. During the quarter, our businesses maintained safe and reliable operations, representing another quarter of successful turnaround and maintenance execution. We also returned $269 million in cash to shareholders during the quarter and today announced a new $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization demonstrating our continued commitment to shareholder returns. Looking forward, as we head into summer driving season, we expect a favorable market environment and believe we are well positioned to generate strong earnings and cash flows.”

Refining segment income before interest and income taxes was $312.0 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $436.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. The segment reported EBITDA of $429.4 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $537.0 million for the first quarter of 2023. Excluding the lower of cost or market inventory valuation benefit of $220.6 million, the segment reported Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2024 was $208.8 million. This decrease was principally driven by lower refinery gross margins in both the West and Mid-Continent regions as a result of seasonal demand weakness for transportation fuels in our regions, partially offset by higher refined product sales volumes. Consolidated refinery gross margin was $12.70 per produced barrel, a 45% decrease compared to $23.20 for the first quarter of 2023. Crude oil charge averaged 604,930 barrels per day (“BPD”) for the first quarter of 2024 compared to 498,500 BPD for the first quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily a result of decreased turnaround activities and improved reliability at our refineries compared to the first quarter of 2023.

Renewables segment loss before interest and income taxes was $(40.0) million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to a loss of $(64.6) million for the first quarter of 2023. The segment reported EBITDA of $(19.7) million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $(44.6) million for the first quarter of 2023. Excluding the lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment, the segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $(18.6) million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to weakened RINs and Low Carbon Fuel Standard prices in the first quarter of 2024. Total sales volumes were 61 million gallons for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to 46 million gallons for the first quarter of 2023.

Marketing segment income before interest and income taxes was $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2023. The segment reported EBITDA of $15.7 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $6.4 million for the first quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily driven by stronger branded wholesale margins in the first quarter of 2024. Total branded fuel sales volumes were 321 million gallons for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to 328 million gallons for the first quarter of 2023.

Lubricants & Specialties segment income before interest and income taxes was $64.5 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to an income of $78.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The segment reported EBITDA of $87.0 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $97.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. This decrease was largely driven by lower base oil prices in the first quarter of 2024.

Midstream segment income before interest and income taxes was $93.1 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $73.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, and segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $111.3 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $93.3 million for the first quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily driven by higher revenues from tariff increases in the first quarter of 2024.

For the first quarter of 2024, net cash provided by operations totaled $316.9 million. At March 31, 2024, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,240.9 million, a $112.9 million decrease over cash and cash equivalents of $1,353.7 million at December 31, 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company announced and paid a regular dividend of $0.50 per share to stockholders totaling $99.4 million and spent $169.6 million on share repurchases. Additionally, at March 31, 2024, the Company’s consolidated debt was $2,678.6 million.

HF Sinclair also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.50 per share, payable on June 5, 2024 to holders of record of common stock on May 22, 2024.

Segment Information

Our operations are organized into five reportable segments: Refining, Renewables, Marketing, Lubricants & Specialties and Midstream. Our operations that are not included in one of these five reportable 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 represents the operations of our El Dorado, Tulsa, Navajo, Woods Cross, Puget Sound, Parco and Casper refineries and HF Sinclair Asphalt Company LLC (“Asphalt”). Refining activities involve the purchase and refining of crude oil and wholesale 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 Mountains extending into the Pacific Northwest geographic regions of the United States. Asphalt operates various asphalt terminals in Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

The Renewables segment represents the operations of our Cheyenne renewable diesel unit (“RDU”), the pre-treatment unit at our Artesia, New Mexico facility, the Artesia RDU, and the Sinclair RDU.

The Marketing segment represents branded fuel sales to Sinclair branded sites in the United States and licensing fees for the use of the Sinclair brand at additional locations throughout the country. The Marketing segment also includes branded fuel sales to non-Sinclair branded sites from legacy HollyFrontier Corporation (“HollyFrontier”) agreements and revenues from other marketing activities. Our branded sites are located in several states across the United States with the highest concentration of the sites located in our West and Mid-Continent regions.

The Lubricants & Specialties segment represents Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc.’s production operations, located in Mississauga, Ontario, which includes 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 and Europe. Additionally, the Lubricants & Specialties segment includes specialty lubricant products produced at our Tulsa refineries that are marketed throughout North America and are distributed in Central and South America and the operations of Red Giant Oil Company LLC, one of the leading suppliers of locomotive engine oil in North America. Also, the Lubricants & Specialties segment includes Sonneborn, a producer of specialty hydrocarbon chemicals such as white oils, petrolatums and waxes with manufacturing facilities in the United States and Europe.

The Midstream segment includes all of the operations of Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”), which owns and operates logistics and refinery assets consisting of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines, and terminals, tankage and loading rack facilities in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountains geographic regions of the United States. The Midstream segment also includes 50% ownership interests in each of Osage Pipeline Company, LLC (“Osage”), the owner of a pipeline running from Cushing, Oklahoma to El Dorado, Kansas, Cheyenne Pipeline, LLC, the owner of a pipeline running from Fort Laramie, Wyoming to Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Cushing Connect Pipeline & Terminal LLC, a 25.12% ownership interest in Saddle Butte Pipeline III, LLC, the owner of a pipeline running from the Powder River Basin to Casper, Wyoming, and a 49.995% ownership interest in Pioneer Investments Corp., the owner of a pipeline running from Sinclair, Wyoming to the North Salt Lake City, Utah Terminal. Revenues from the Midstream 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.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, our Refining segment acquired from our Midstream segment the refinery processing units at our El Dorado and Woods Cross refineries. Additionally, we amended an intercompany agreement between certain of our subsidiaries within the Refining, Lubricants & Specialties and Midstream segments. As a result, we have revised our Refining, Lubricants & Specialties and Midstream segment information for the periods presented.

Refining Segment Operating Data

The following tables set forth information, including non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) performance measures about our refinery operations. Refinery gross and net operating margins do not include the non-cash effects of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments and depreciation and amortization. Reconciliations to amounts reported under GAAP are provided under “Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” below.

The disaggregation of our refining geographic operating data is presented in two regions, Mid-Continent and West, to best reflect the economic drivers of our refining operations. The Mid-Continent region is comprised of the El Dorado and Tulsa refineries. The West region is comprised of the Puget Sound, Navajo, Woods Cross, Parco and Casper refineries.

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 attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus (i) lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, (ii) decommissioning costs, (iii) HF Sinclair's pro-rata share of HEP's share of Osage environmental remediation costs and (iv) acquisition integration and regulatory costs.

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.

Reconciliation of marketing operating information (non-GAAP performance measures) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.

Marketing gross margin is a non-GAAP performance measure that is used by our management and others to compare our marketing performance to that of other companies in our industry. We believe this margin measure is helpful to investors in evaluating our marketing performance on a relative and absolute basis. Marketing gross margin per gallon sold is total Marketing segment revenues less total Marketing segment cost of products sold divided by sales volumes of marketing products sold. This margin does not include the non-cash effects of depreciation and amortization. This component performance measure 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.

Reconciliation of net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders to adjusted net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders

Adjusted net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes non-cash lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, HEP's share of Osage environmental remediation costs and acquisition integration and regulatory costs. We believe this measure is helpful to investors and others in evaluating our financial performance and to compare our results to that of other companies in our industry. Similarly titled performance measures of other companies may not be calculated in the same manner.

(2)

Non-GAAP income tax expense is computed by (a) adjusting HF Sinclair’s consolidated estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate (“AETR”) for GAAP purposes for the effects of the above Non-GAAP adjustments, (b) applying the resulting Adjusted Non-GAAP AETR to Non-GAAP adjusted income before income taxes and (c) adjusting for discrete tax items applicable to the period.

 

 

(3)

Adjusted earnings per share - diluted is calculated as adjusted net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders divided by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding assuming dilution, which is based on weighted-average diluted shares outstanding as that used in the GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation. Income allocated to participating securities, if applicable, in the adjusted earnings per share calculation is calculated the same way as that used in GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation.
