Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Valero Energy Corporation Benefit Plans Administrative Committee
Valero Energy Corporation Thrift Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Valero Energy Corporation Thrift Plan (the Plan) as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The supplemental information in the accompanying Schedule H, Line 4i–Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of
December 31, 2016
, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s 2016 financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but includes supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information in the accompanying Schedule H, Line 4i–Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of
December 31, 2016
is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 2016 financial statements as a whole.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
|
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
|
General
The Valero Energy Corporation Thrift Plan (the Plan) is a qualified profit-sharing plan covering certain of Valero Energy Corporation’s employees in the United States (U.S.). (See “
Eligibility and Participation
” below for a description of employees eligible for participation in the Plan.) The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). As used in this report, the term “Valero” may refer, depending upon the context, to Valero Energy Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole.
A portion of the Plan is designated as an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), as defined in Section 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and Department of Labor Regulation §2550.407d-6. The Plan is composed of an ESOP portion and a non-ESOP portion. The ESOP portion consists only of investments in Valero common stock. A dividend payout feature allows participants to elect to receive dividends from Valero common stock in cash as taxable distributions or to continue to have such dividends reinvested in the Plan. The designation as an ESOP has no other effect on benefits under the Plan.
The description of the Plan included in these notes to financial statements provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan document for a complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
Plan Administration
Valero is the plan sponsor. Valero is an international manufacturer and marketer of transportation fuels and other petrochemical products. As of
December 31, 2016
, Valero employed approximately 10,000 people and its assets included 15 petroleum refineries with a combined throughput capacity of approximately 3.1 million barrels per day and 11 ethanol plants with a combined production capacity of 1.4 billion gallons per year. The petroleum refineries are located in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom, and the ethanol plants are located in the Mid-Continent region of the U.S.
Valero’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VLO.”
The Valero Energy Corporation Benefit Plans Administrative Committee (Administrative Committee), consisting of persons selected by Valero, administers the Plan. The members of the Administrative Committee serve without compensation for services in that capacity. Bank of America, N.A. (BANA) is the trustee under the Plan and has custody of the securities and investments of the Plan through a trust. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, an affiliate of BANA, is the record keeper for the Plan.
Eligibility and Participation
Valero’s U.S. employees are immediately eligible to participate in the Plan. Participation in the Plan is voluntary. However, certain employees at Valero’s Port Arthur and Memphis Refineries are only eligible to participate in the Premcor Retirement Savings Plan, another plan sponsored by Valero. Effective January 1, 2017, eligible employees will be automatically enrolled in the Plan as further described under
“Contributions.”
VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Contributions
Participants may make contributions of not less than one percent or more than 50 percent of their annual total salary immediately upon commencement of participation, subject to certain limitations under the Code. Annual total salary represents a participant’s annual base salary together with overtime pay, commissions, and other eligible forms of cash compensation other than annual performance bonus payments, bonus payments to employees represented by a collective bargaining agreement, and unused vacation pay. Effective January 1, 2016, annual total salary excludes payments for unused elective holidays.
Participants elect to make pre-tax, after-tax and/or designated Roth 401(k) contributions to the Plan. Any employee may make eligible rollover contributions and eligible Roth 401(k) rollover contributions to the Plan. Former employees who retain an account balance under the Plan and who have received or who are eligible to receive a distribution from a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Valero are also eligible to make a rollover contribution to the Plan. For the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, rollover contributions totaled
$6,180,020
and
$6,234,814
, respectively, and are included in participant contributions.
The Code establishes an annual limitation on the amount of individual pre-tax and/or Roth 401(k) salary deferral contributions. This limit was
$18,000
for each of the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
. Participants who attained age 50 before the end of the year were eligible to make catch-up contributions of up to
$6,000
for each of the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
. All or any portion of an eligible participant’s catch-up contribution can be designated as a Roth 401(k) catch-up contribution.
Valero makes an employer contribution equal to $1.00 for every $1.00 of a participant’s contributions up to seven percent of annual total salary. All employer contributions are made in cash and are invested according to the investment options elected for the participant contributions.
Valero, at the discretion of the Valero Energy Corporation Board of Directors or such other party as designated by such Board, may make profit-sharing contributions to the Plan to the accounts of all eligible ethanol plant employees (renewables organization employees). Such contributions are allocated based on annual eligible compensation. For the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, the Administrative Committee approved profit-sharing contributions totaling
$1,471,360
and
$1,447,855
, respectively, which was offset by available forfeitures. Employer profit-sharing contributions receivable as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
were received by the Plan in February 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Effective January 1, 2017, each eligible employee hired or rehired on or after January 1, 2017 will be automatically enrolled in the Plan at a pre-tax contribution rate of three percent of their annual total salary, unless the eligible employee elects not to participate in the Plan. The automatically enrolled participant’s contribution rate will increase by one percent per year until a maximum contribution rate of seven percent is reached, unless the participant elects to opt out of the automatic increases or voluntarily changes his contribution rate.
Participant Accounts
Individual accounts are maintained for each participant. Each participant’s account is adjusted to reflect participant contributions, employer contributions, withdrawals, income, expenses, gains, and losses attributable to the participant’s account.
VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Vesting
Participants are vested 100 percent in their individual participant contribution accounts at all times. Eligible renewables organization employees vest 100 percent in any profit-sharing contributions after completion of three years of service. Prior to January 1, 2017, all participants vested in their employer matching contribution accounts at the rate of 20 percent per year and were 100 percent vested after five years of continuous service. Effective January 1, 2017, participants who are active employees and are not renewables organization employees are 100 percent vested in their employer matching contribution accounts at all times. Renewables organization employees continue to vest in their employer matching contribution accounts at the rate of 20 percent per year and are 100 percent vested after five years of continuous service.
Continuous service begins the first day for which an employee is paid and terminates on the date of the employee’s retirement, death, or other termination from service. If an employee’s employment is terminated and the employee is subsequently reemployed within 12 months, the period between the severance from service and the date of reemployment is generally included in continuous service for vesting purposes. If the employee is not reemployed within one year after a severance from service date, the employee is deemed to have incurred a break in service.
Forfeitures
The Plan provides that if a participant incurs a break in service prior to becoming vested in any part of his employer account, the participant’s prior continuous service will not be disregarded for purposes of the Plan until the break in service equals or exceeds five successive years. Upon a participant’s termination of employment for other than death, total and permanent disability, or retirement on or after age 65, the nonvested portion of the participant’s employer account is forfeited upon distribution. In the event the participant is reemployed prior to incurring a break in service of five successive years, any amounts forfeited under this provision may be reinstated.
Valero’s employer contributions are reduced by any forfeited nonvested accounts of terminated participants and increased by the value of prior forfeited nonvested accounts for participants who are rehired within five years from date of termination. Employer contributions for the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
were reduced by
$250,000
and
$546,420
, respectively, from forfeited nonvested accounts. As of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, forfeited nonvested accounts available to reduce future employer contributions or plan administrative expenses were
$289,854
and
$262,142
, respectively.
Investment Options
Participants direct the investment of 100 percent of their participant contributions and may transfer existing account balances into any of the investment options offered. These investment options include Valero common stock, common/collective trusts, mutual funds, an interest-bearing cash account (Retirement Bank Account), and other self-directed investments.
Participants may not designate more than 20 percent of their contributions to be invested in Valero common stock. Transfers into Valero common stock will not be permitted to the extent a transfer would result in more than 50 percent of the aggregate value of the participant’s account being invested in Valero common stock.
If a participant wishes to transfer assets from the Federated Capital Preservation Fund to the Retirement Bank Account or to any self-directed investment options, then the proceeds from the sale of the Federated
VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Capital Preservation Fund will be transferred into another of the Plan’s core investment options for 90 days before purchasing shares of the Retirement Bank Account or directing the proceeds into self-directed investment options.
Withdrawals and Distributions
Participants may make the following types of withdrawals of all or part of their respective accounts:
|
|
|
|
•
|
one withdrawal during any six-month period from a participant’s after-tax account and rollover contribution account with no suspension of future contributions;
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
upon completion of five years of participation in the Plan, one withdrawal from a participant’s after-tax account and employer account, with a similar withdrawal allowed 36 months after the date of a previous withdrawal under this provision, with no suspension of future contributions;
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
upon reaching age 59½, one withdrawal during any six-month period from a participant’s account and employer account; or
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
upon furnishing proof of financial necessity, one withdrawal during any six-month period from a participant’s account and the vested portion of the employer account, but, for withdrawals of pre-tax amounts, not to exceed the aggregate amount of the participant’s pre-tax contributions. Individuals who receive a withdrawal for financial necessity will be suspended from making contributions to the Plan for a period of at least six months. During the period of August 11, 2016 through January 17, 2017, participants whose principal residence was in one of the parishes identified as a covered disaster area due to the Louisiana storms that began on August 11, 2016, were permitted to take a financial necessity withdrawal without furnishing proof of financial necessity and these participants were not subject to the six-month suspension from making contributions to the Plan.
|
Upon a participant’s death, total and permanent disability, or retirement on or after age 65, the participant or the beneficiary of a deceased participant is entitled to a distribution of the entire value of the participant’s account and employer account regardless of whether or not the accounts are fully vested. Upon a participant’s termination for any other reason, the participant is entitled to a distribution of only the value of the participant’s account and the vested portion of the participant’s employer account. Distributions resulting from any of these occurrences may be received in a single sum in whole shares of Valero common stock and cash, or entirely in cash. Alternatively, a participant or beneficiary may elect to receive this distribution in the form of equal monthly installments over a period not exceeding the lesser of (i) five years or (ii) the participant’s life expectancy or the joint life expectancy of the participant and the participant’s designated beneficiary. In addition, when the value of a distribution to a participant exceeds $1,000, the distribution may be made prior to the participant attaining age 65 only with the participant’s consent.
Terminated participants with an account balance in excess of $1,000 may elect to have the Plan trustee hold their accounts for distribution to them at a date not later than April 1 of the calendar year after which they attain age 70½. In this event, terminated participants continue to share in the income, expenses, gains, and losses of the Plan until their accounts are distributed.
The Plan allows participants who are called to active duty military service and who are on military leave for a period of 179 days or more to make withdrawals of all or any portion of their account.
VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow a minimum of $500. The maximum loan amount a participant may have outstanding is restricted to the lesser of:
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
$50,000, reduced by the excess of (i) the highest outstanding balance of the participant’s loans during a one-year period over (ii) the participant’s then currently outstanding loan balance of all participant loans on the day any new loan is made, or
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
one-half of the current value of the participant’s vested interest in his Plan accounts.
|
The term of any loan may not exceed five years unless the loan is for the purchase of a participant’s principal residence, in which case the term of the loan shall not exceed 15 years. The balance of the participant’s account and vested portion of his employer account serve as security for the loan. Loans bear interest at a reasonable rate as established by the Administrative Committee, presently at prime plus 1 percent. Loan repayments of principal and interest are made through payroll deductions or as otherwise determined. Participants may have two loans outstanding under the Plan at any time.
Plan Expenses
Plan administrative expenses, including trustee fees and administrative fees, may be paid by the Plan unless paid by Valero. Valero also provides certain other services at no cost to the Plan. Investment expenses relating to individual participant accounts, such as investment management expenses, have been deducted from interest income or dividend income. Individual participant transaction fees, such as overnight delivery fees and redemption fees, are deducted from the respective participant’s account and are included in withdrawals by participants.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Basis of Presentation
General
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Management has evaluated events that occurred after
December 31, 2016
through the date these financial statements were available to be issued on
June 26, 2017
. Any material subsequent events that occurred during this time have been properly recognized or disclosed in these financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts reported as of
December 31, 2015
have been reclassified to conform to the
2016
presentation. In addition, in order to better align with the U.S. GAAP definition of readily determinable fair value, certain accounting policy and net asset value (NAV) disclosures have been revised. Certain investments previously reported at NAV as a practical expedient and excluded from the fair value hierarchy have been included in the fair value hierarchy as Level 2 investments for all periods presented. These changes had no effect on the Plan’s financial statements as previously reported.
VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and changes therein reported in the financial statements and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Investments
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value as described in Note 3.
Income Recognition
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments consists of net realized gains and losses on the sale of investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Related fees are expensed when they are incurred and are reflected in withdrawals by participants. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of
December 31, 2016
or
2015
. A loan that has been defaulted upon and not cured within a reasonable period of time may be deemed a distribution from the Plan. The loan balance is reduced and withdrawals to participants are increased after the participant makes final withdrawal from the Plan.
Withdrawals by Participants
Withdrawals by participants are recorded when paid.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan’s investments, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investments will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits in the future.

|

|
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|
A fair value hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3) is used to categorize fair value amounts based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. Accordingly, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability for which there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The Plan uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair values of its applicable assets and liabilities. When available, the Plan measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value.
VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The valuation methods used to measure the Plan’s financial instruments at fair value are as follows:
|
|
|
|
•
|
Common stock, mutual funds, and self-directed investments are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quotations from national securities exchanges and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
The cost of interest-bearing cash approximates its fair value and is therefore categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
All common/collective trusts, including the Federated Capital Preservation Fund, which primarily holds investments in fully benefit-responsive contracts, are valued at the net asset value of units of the common/collective trusts as determined by the issuer of the trust based on the fair values of the underlying net assets divided by the number of units outstanding. The net asset value per unit is a quoted price in a market that is not active; therefore, these investments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. There are no imposed restrictions as to the redemption of these investments.
|
The tables below present information about the Plan’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the inputs utilized to determine the fair values as of
December 31, 2016
and

RELATED-PARTY AND PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
|
Certain Plan investments are shares of common/collective trusts managed by an affiliate of BANA, the Plan’s trustee. Administrative expenses incurred with the Plan’s trustee were immaterial for the years ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
. Fees paid by the Plan for investment management services were included as a reduction of the return earned on each fund. In addition, the Plan allows for loans to participants and investment in Valero’s common stock. Valero, the sponsor of the Plan, provides accounting and administrative services at no cost to the Plan. These transactions are party-in-interest transactions under ERISA and are covered by an exemption from the “prohibited transactions” provisions of ERISA and the Code.
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, Valero has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of any termination of the Plan or complete discontinuance of employer contributions, participants would become 100 percent vested in their employer accounts. If the Plan were terminated, the Administrative Committee would direct the trustee to distribute the remaining assets, after payment of all Plan expenses, to participants and beneficiaries in proportion to their respective balances.
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the plan sponsor by a letter dated April 29, 2014, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Code. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the plan sponsor believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code, and therefore believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt. The plan sponsor believes the Plan is not subject to tax examinations for plan years prior to 2013.
