Delek US Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1
. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Delek US Holdings, Inc. is the sole shareholder or owner of membership interests, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Delek US Energy, Inc., of Delek Refining, Inc. ("Refining"), Delek Finance, Inc., Delek Marketing & Supply, LLC, Lion Oil Company ("Lion Oil"), Delek Renewables, LLC, Delek Rail Logistics, Inc., Delek Logistics Services Company, Delek Helena, LLC, Delek Land Holdings, LLC, and is also the sole shareholder of Alon USA Energy, Inc. ("Alon") (and in Alon's wholly-owned subsidiaries by virtue of Delek's ownership of Alon).
Effective July 1, 2017 (the "Effective Time"), we acquired the outstanding common stock of Alon (previously listed under NYSE: ALJ) (the "Delek/Alon Merger", as further discussed in Note
2
), resulting in a new post-combination consolidated registrant renamed as Delek US Holdings, Inc. (“New Delek”), with Alon and the previous Delek US Holdings, Inc. (“Old Delek”) surviving as wholly-owned subsidiaries. New Delek is the successor issuer to Old Delek and Alon pursuant to Rule 12g-3(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In addition, as a result of the Delek/Alon Merger, the shares of common stock of Old Delek and Alon were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange in July 2017, and their respective reporting obligations under the Exchange Act were terminated.
Unless otherwise noted or the context requires otherwise, the disclosures and financial information included in this report for the periods prior to July 1, 2017 reflect that of Old Delek, and the disclosures and financial information included in this report for the periods beginning July 1, 2017 reflect that of New Delek. The terms "we," "our," "us," "Delek" and the "Company" are used in this report to refer to Old Delek and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods prior to July 1, 2017, and New Delek and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods on or after July 1, 2017, unless otherwise noted. New Delek's Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "DK."
In August 2016, we entered into a definitive equity purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Compañía de Petróleos de Chile COPEC S.A. and its subsidiary, Copec Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively, "COPEC"). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Delek agreed to sell, and COPEC agreed to purchase,
100%
of the equity interests in Delek's wholly-owned subsidiaries MAPCO Express, Inc., MAPCO Fleet, Inc., Delek Transportation, LLC, NTI Investments, LLC and GDK Bearpaw, LLC (collectively, the “Retail Entities”) for cash consideration of
$535.0 million
, subject to customary adjustments (the “Retail Transaction”). The Retail Transaction closed in November 2016.
As a result of the Purchase Agreement, we met the requirements under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20,
Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations
("ASC 205-20") and ASC 360,
Property, Plant and Equipment
("ASC 360")
,
to report the results of the Retail Entities as discontinued operations and to classify the Retail Entities as a group of assets held for sale. See Note
5
for further information regarding the Retail Entities.
Having classified the Retail Entities as assets held for sale, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2016
have been reclassified to reflect the results of the Retail Entities as income from discontinued operations, net of taxes.
During the third quarter 2017, we committed to a plan to sell
100%
of our equity interests in (or substantially all of the assets of) our subsidiaries associated with our Paramount and Long Beach, California refineries and Alon's California renewable fuels facility, which were acquired as part of the Delek/Alon Merger (collectively, the "California Discontinued Entities"). As a result of this decision and commitment to a plan, and because it was made within three months of the Delek/Alon Merger, we met the requirements under ASC 205-20 and ASC 360 to report the results of the California Discontinued Entities as discontinued operations and to classify the California Discontinued Entities as a group of assets held for sale. The sale of the California Discontinued Entities is currently anticipated to occur within the next
12 months
. See Note
5
for further information regarding the California Discontinued Entities.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Delek and its consolidated subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis with those of the annual audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on
February 28, 2017
(the "Annual Report on Form 10-K") and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 2016
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include Delek Logistics Partners, LP ("Delek Logistics"), Alon USA Partners, LP (the "Alon Partnership") and AltAir Paramount LLC ("AltAir"), all variable interest entities. As the indirect owner of the general partners of Delek Logistics and the Alon Partnership and the managing member of AltAir, we have the ability to direct the activities of these entities that most significantly impact their economic performance. We are also considered to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes for all of these
entities and are Delek Logistics' primary customer. As Delek Logistics does not derive an amount of gross margin material to us from third parties, there is limited risk to Delek associated with Delek Logistics' operations. However, in the event that Delek Logistics, the Alon Partnership or AltAir incurs a loss, our operating results will reflect their loss, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in these entities. AltAir's results are included in discontinued operations - see Note
5
.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and the results of operations for the interim periods have been included. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the interim period should not be viewed as representative of results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the full year.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation.
Accounting Policies Update
The following condensed accounting policies represent updates to those policies disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K, and primarily relate to the integration of the Alon operations and accounts into our accounting and reporting framework.
Segment Reporting
Following the Delek/Alon Merger, Delek's business includes retail operations. Management views aggregated operating results in primarily
three
reportable segments: refining, logistics and retail. Our corporate activities, results of our asphalt operations and certain other immaterial operating segments, our equity method investments in Alon prior to the Delek/Alon Merger and intercompany eliminations are reported in the corporate, other and eliminations segment. The retail segment markets gasoline, diesel and other refined petroleum products, and convenience merchandise through a network of company-operated retail fuel and convenience stores. Segment reporting is more fully discussed in Note
14
.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable primarily consists of trade receivables generated in the ordinary course of business. Delek recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts related to trade receivables of $
4.8 million
as of
September 30, 2017
. Delek had
no
allowance for doubtful accounts as of
December 31, 2016
.
Credit is extended based on evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and require letters of credit, prepayments or other collateral or guarantees as management deems appropriate. Allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a combination of current sales and specific identification methods.
Credit risk is minimized as a result of the ongoing credit assessment of our customers and a lack of concentration in our customer base. Credit losses are charged to allowance for doubtful accounts when deemed uncollectible. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets.
Inventory
Crude oil, work-in-process, refined products, blendstocks and asphalt inventory for all of our operations, excluding the refinery located in Tyler, Texas (the "Tyler refinery") and merchandise inventory in our Retail segment, are stated at the lower of cost determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis or net realizable value. Cost of all inventory at the Tyler refinery is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory valuation method and inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Retail merchandise inventory consists of cigarettes, beer, convenience merchandise and food service merchandise and is stated at estimated cost as determined by the retail inventory method.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Depreciation for retail store equipment and site improvements is computed using the straight-line method over management's estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is
7
-
40
years.
Asset Retirement Obligations
In the retail segment, we have asset retirement obligations related to the removal of underground storage tanks and the removal of brand signage at owned and leased retail sites which are legally required under the applicable leases. The asset retirement obligation for storage tank removal on leased retail sites is accreted over the expected life of the owned retail site or the average retail site lease term.
We have asset retirement obligations with respect to our refineries due to various legal obligations to clean and/or dispose of these assets at the time they are retired. However, the majority of these assets can be used for extended and indeterminate periods of time provided that they are properly maintained and/or upgraded. It is our practice and intent to continue to maintain these assets and make improvements based on technological advances.
Revenue Recognition
In the retail segment, we derive service revenues from the sale of lottery tickets, money orders, car washes and other ancillary product and service offerings. Retail segment service revenue and related costs are recorded at gross amounts and net amounts, as appropriate, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 605-45,
Revenue Recognition - Principal
Agent Considerations
("ASC 605-45").
Cost of Goods Sold and Operating Expenses
For the retail segment, cost of goods sold comprises the costs of specific products sold. Retail cost of sales includes motor fuels and merchandise. Retail fuel cost of sales represents the cost of purchased fuel, including transportation costs. Merchandise cost of sales includes the delivered cost of merchandise purchases, net of merchandise rebates and commissions. Operating expenses include costs such as wages of employees, lease expense, utility expense and other costs of operating the stores.
Asphalt cost of sales includes costs of purchased asphalt, blending materials and transportation costs.
Interest Expense
Interest expense includes interest expense on debt, letters of credit, financing fees, the amortization, net of accretion, of debt discounts or premium and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, but excludes capitalized interest. Original issuance discount and debt issuance costs are amortized ratably over the term of the related debt.
Postretirement Benefits
In connection with the Delek/Alon Merger, we now have defined benefit pension and postretirement medical plans for certain former Alon employees. We recognize the underfunded status of our defined benefit pension and postretirement medical plans as a liability. Changes in the funded status of our defined benefit pension and postretirement medical plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period when the changes occur. 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 December 31, of each year, as the measurement date for plan assets and obligations for all of our defined benefit pension and postretirement medical plans. See Note 18 for more information regarding our postretirement benefits.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance to better align financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities for both financial (e.g., interest rate) and commodity risks. The guidance was intended to create more transparency in the presentation of financial results, both on the face of the financial statements and in the footnotes, and simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Companies are required to apply the amendment on a modified retrospective transition method in which the cumulative effect of the change will be recognized within equity in the consolidated balance sheet as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. If a company early adopts in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. We expect to adopt this guidance on or before the effective date and are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new guidance will have on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. The modification accounting guidance applies if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and can be early adopted for any interim or annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. We expect to adopt this guidance on or before the effective date and are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new guidance will have on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance that will require that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost with respect to defined benefit postretirement employee benefit plans. Service cost is required to be reported in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net periodic benefit cost are required to be reported outside the subtotal for operating income. Additionally, only the service cost component of net benefit costs are eligible for capitalization. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt this guidance on or before the effective date and are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new guidance will have on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance concerning the goodwill impairment test that eliminates Step 2, which required a comparison of the implied fair value of goodwill of the reporting unit with the carrying amount of that goodwill for that reporting unit. It also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative assessment, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This guidance is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We expect to adopt this guidance on or before the effective date and we do not anticipate that the adoption will have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the definition of a business in order to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is considered a business. In general, we expect that the revised definition will result in fewer acquisitions being accounted for as business combinations than under the current guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted under certain circumstances. We early adopted this guidance during the three months ended September 30, 2017, and as a result accounted for two immaterial acquisitions occurring during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations. The adoption did not have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance requiring the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. We expect to adopt this guidance on or before the effective date and are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new guidance will have on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the accounting for excess tax benefits and deficiencies, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years and can be early adopted for any interim or annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. We prospectively adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities accounted for under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Under the new guidance, all equity investments in
unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. For financial liabilities when the fair value option has been elected, changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk will be recognized separately in other comprehensive income. It will require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes and separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and will eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost.The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We expect to adopt this guidance on or before the effective date and currently do not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance requiring entities to measure FIFO or average cost inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This guidance does not change the measurement of inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires improved interim and annual disclosures that enable the users of financial statements to better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period, and can be adopted retrospectively. We expect to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2018.
As part of our efforts to prepare for adoption, beginning in 2016, we formed a project implementation team as well as a project timeline to evaluate this new standard for the subsidiaries of Delek prior to the acquisition of Alon. We also reviewed and gained an understanding of the new revenue recognition accounting guidance, performed scoping to identify and evaluate revenue streams under the new standard, and continue to review industry specific implementation guidance. During the third quarter of 2017, we developed our control framework over revenue recognition, including implementation, and we performed testing to confirm our understanding of identified revenue streams of Old Delek. In connection with the Delek/Alon Merger which was effective July 1, 2017, we performed a similar analysis of the revenue streams/contracts of Alon and its subsidiaries in connection with our integration efforts.
We are continuing to evaluate the impact of the standard on our business processes, accounting systems, controls and financial statement disclosures, including the integration of Alon, and expect to implement any changes to accommodate the new accounting and disclosure requirements prior to adoption on January 1, 2018. We preliminarily expect to use the modified retrospective adoption method to apply this standard, under which the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance will be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the first quarter of 2018.
2
. Acquisitions
In January 2017, we announced that Old Delek (and various related entities) entered into the Merger Agreement with Alon, as subsequently amended on February 27 and April 21, 2017. The related Merger (the "Merger" or the "Delek/Alon Merger") was effective July 1, 2017 (as previously defined, the “Effective Time”), resulting in a new post-combination consolidated registrant renamed as Delek US Holdings, Inc. (as previously defined, “New Delek”), with Alon and Old Delek surviving as wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Delek. New Delek is the successor issuer to Old Delek and Alon pursuant to Rule 12g-3(c) under the Exchange Act, as amended. In addition, as a result of the Delek/Alon Merger, the shares of common stock of Old Delek and Alon were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange in July 2017, and their respective reporting obligations under the Exchange Act were terminated. Prior to the Merger, Old Delek owned a non-controlling equity interest of approximately
47%
of the outstanding shares of Alon , which was accounted for under the equity method of accounting (See Note
4
).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Alon Common Stock, other than shares owned by Old Delek and its subsidiaries or held in the treasury of Alon, was converted into the right to receive
0.504
of a share of New Delek Common Stock, or, in the case of fractional shares of New Delek Common Stock, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a share of New Delek Common Stock multiplied by (ii)
$25.96
per share, which was the volume weighted average price of the Old Delek Common Stock, par value
$0.01
per share as reported on the NYSE Composite Transactions Reporting System for the
twenty
consecutive New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) full trading days ending on June 30, 2017. Each outstanding share of restricted Alon Common Stock was assumed by New Delek and converted into restricted stock denominated in shares of New Delek Common Stock, using the conversion rate applicable to the Merger. Committed but unissued share-based awards were exchanged and converted into rights to receive share-based awards indexed to New Delek Common Stock.
In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Old Delek Common Stock or fraction thereof issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Old Delek Common Stock held in the treasury of Old Delek, which was retired in connection with the Merger) was converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive
one
validly issued, fully paid and non‑assessable share of New Delek Common Stock or such fraction thereof equal to the fractional share of New Delek Common Stock. All existing Old Delek stock options, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights were converted into equivalent rights with respect to New Delek Common Stock.
In connection with the Merger, Alon, New Delek and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) entered into a First Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), effective as of July 1, 2017, supplementing the Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2013 (the “Indenture”), pursuant to which Alon issued its
3.00%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”), which were convertible into shares of Alon’s Common Stock, par value
$0.01
per share or cash or a combination of cash and Alon Common Stock, all as provided in the Indenture. The Supplemental Indenture provides that, as of the Effective Time, the right to convert each
$1,000
principal amount of the Notes based on a number of shares of Alon Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Indenture) in effect immediately prior to the Merger was changed into a right to convert each
$1,000
principal amount of Notes into or based on a number of shares of New Delek Common Stock (at the exchange rate of
0.504
), par value
$0.01
per share, equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Merger. In addition, the Supplemental Indenture provides that, as of the Effective Time, New Delek fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior basis, Alon’s obligations under the Notes.
In connection with the Indenture, Alon also entered into equity instruments, including Purchased Options and Warrants (see Note 8 for further discussion), designed, in combination, to hedge the risk associated with the potential exercise of the conversion feature of the Notes and to minimize the dilutive effect of such potential conversion. These equity instruments, in addition to the conversion feature, represent equity instruments originally indexed to Alon Common Stock that were exchanged for instruments with terms designed to preserve the original economic intent of such instruments and indexed to New Delek Common Stock in connection with the Merger. See Note 8.
Alon is a refiner and marketer of petroleum products, operating primarily in the south central, southwestern and western regions of the United States. Alon owns
100%
of the general partner and
81.6%
of the limited partner interests in the Alon Partnership, which owns a crude oil refinery in Big Spring, Texas with a crude oil throughput capacity of
73,000
bpd and an integrated wholesale marketing business. In addition, Alon directly owns a crude oil refinery in Krotz Springs, Louisiana with a crude oil throughput capacity of
74,000
bpd. Alon also owns crude oil refineries in California, which have not processed crude oil since 2012. Alon is a marketer of asphalt, which it distributes through asphalt terminals located predominantly in the southwestern and western United States. Alon is the largest 7-Eleven licensee in the United States and operates approximately
300
convenience stores which market motor fuels in central and west Texas and New Mexico.
Transaction costs incurred by the Company totaled approximately
$18.4 million
, inclusive of
$11.3 million
of merger costs and
$7.1 million
of non-recurring costs associated with the transaction, for the three months ended
September 30, 2017
, and
$22.4 million
, inclusive of
$15.3 million
of merger costs and
$7.1 million
of non-recurring costs associated with the transaction, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2017
. Such costs were included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
The Merger is accounted for 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.

Additional consideration includes the fair value of certain equity instruments originally indexed to Alon stock that were exchanged for instruments indexed to New Delek's stock, as well as the fair value of certain share-based payments that were required to be exchanged for awards indexed to New Delek's stock in connection with the Delek/Alon Merger.
(2)
The fair value of Delek's pre-existing equity method investment in Alon was based on the quoted market price of shares of Alon.
(3)
This preliminary fair value of property, plant and equipment is based on a valuation using a combination of the income, cost and market approaches. The useful lives are based upon guidelines for similar equipment, chronological age since installation and consideration of costs spent on upgrades, repairs, turnarounds and rebuilds.
(4)
The acquired intangible assets amount includes the following identified intangibles:
•
Third-party fuel supply agreement intangible that is subject to amortization with a preliminary fair value of
$43.0 million
, which will be amortized over a
10
-year useful life. We recognized amortization expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2017
of
$1.1 million
. The estimated amortization is
$1.1 million
for the fourth quarter of 2017 and
$4.3 million
for each of the five succeeding fiscal years.
•
Fuel trade name intangible preliminarily valued at
$8.0 million
, which will be amortized over
5
years. We recognized amortization expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2017
of
$0.4 million
. The estimated amortization is
$0.4 million
. for the fourth quarter of 2017 and
$1.6 million
for each of the four succeeding fiscal years, with
$0.8 million
the fifth year.
•
Liquor license intangible preliminarily valued at
$8.5 million
, which has an indefinite life.
•
Colonial Pipeline shipping rights intangible preliminarily valued at
$1.9 million
, which has an indefinite life.
•
Refinery permits preliminarily valued at
$3.1 million
, which have an indefinite life.
•
Below market lease intangible preliminarily valued at
$0.5 million
, which will be amortized over the remaining lease term (excludes certain leases that are still being evaluated for above or below market considerations).
(5)
Goodwill generated as a result of the Merger consists of the value of expected synergies from combining operations, the acquisition of an existing integrated refining, marketing and retail 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, and the strategic advantages of having a larger market presence. The total amount of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes is
$15.5 million
. Goodwill has been preliminarily allocated to reportable segments based on various factors that are still being evaluated. Accordingly, such allocations are considered preliminary and may change within the permissible measurement period, not to exceed one year. The preliminary allocation of goodwill to reportable segments is as follows: Refining -
$708.4 million
and Retail-
$58.5 million
. The remainder relates to the asphalt operations, which is included in the corporate, other and eliminations segment.
(6)
The assumed other non-current liabilities include liabilities related to below-market leases preliminarily fair valued at
$8.4 million
, which will be amortized over the remaining lease term (excludes certain leases that are still being evaluated for above or below market considerations).
The allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the purchase price allocation measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the following:
•
finalizing the valuation, segment allocation and assignment of remaining useful lives associated with property, plant and equipment acquired;
•
finalizing the valuation of certain in-place contracts or contractual relationships (including but not limited to leases), including determining the appropriate amortization period;
•
finalizing the review and valuation of environmental liabilities and asset retirement obligations (see Note
17
));
•
finalizing the evaluation and valuation of certain legal matters and/or other loss contingencies, including those that we may not yet be aware of but that meet the requirement to qualify as a pre-acquisition contingency (see Note
17
);
•
finalizing our review and valuation of identifiable intangible assets; and
•
finalizing our estimate of the impact of purchase accounting on deferred income tax assets or liabilities.
To the extent possible, estimates have been considered and recorded, as appropriate, for the items above based on the information available as of September 30, 2017. We will continue to evaluate these items until they are satisfactorily resolved and adjust our purchase price allocation accordingly, within the allowable measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), as defined by ASC 805.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the condensed combined results of operations of Delek and Alon for the nine months ended
September 30, 2017
and the
three and nine
month periods ended
September 30, 2016
as if the Delek/Alon Merger had occurred on January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations that would have been reported had the Delek/Alon merger been completed as of January 1, 2016, and should not be taken as indicative of New Delek's future consolidated results of operations. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined results of operations do not reflect any cost savings or associated costs to achieve such savings from operating efficiencies, synergies, debt refinancing or other restructuring that may result from the Delek/Alon Merger. The pro forma financial information also does not reflect certain non-recurring adjustments that have been or are expected to be recorded in connection with the Delek/Alon Merger, including any accrual for integration costs or transactions costs related to the Merger, nor any retrospective adjustments related to the conforming of Alon's accounting policies to Delek's accounting policies, as such adjustments are impracticable to determine. Pro forma adjustments are tax-effected at the Company's estimated statutory tax rates.

The unaudited pro forma statements of operations reflect the following adjustments:
|
|
(a)
|
To eliminate transactions between Delek and Alon for purchases and sales of refined product reducing revenue and the associated cost of goods sold. Such pro forma eliminations reduced combined pro forma sales by
$3.7 million
for the three months ended
September 30, 2016
, and
$20.4 million
and
$9.6 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
and
2016
, respectively.
|
|
|
(b)
|
To retrospectively reflect depreciation and amortization of intangibles based on the preliminary fair value of the assets as of the acquisition date, as if that fair value had been reflected beginning January 1, 2016, and to retrospectively eliminate the amortization of any previously recorded intangibles. Such adjustments to depreciation and amortization have been estimated to result in an increase (decrease) to pro forma pre-tax income (loss) attributable to Delek totaling
$21.9 million
for the three months ended
September 30, 2016
, and
$42.1 million
and
$63.7 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
and
2016
, respectively.
|
|
|
(c)
|
To retrospectively reflect adjustments to interest expense, including the impact of discounts or premiums created by the difference in fair value and outstanding amounts as of the acquisition date (collectively, the “new effective yield”), by applying the new effective yield to historical outstanding amounts in the pro forma period and reversing previously recognized interest expense. Such net adjustments to interest expense have been estimated to result in an increase (decrease) to pro forma pre-tax income (loss) attributable to Delek totaling
$7.6 million
for the three months ended
September 30, 2016
, and
$16.7 million
and
$27.8 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
and
2016
, respectively.
|
|
|
(d)
|
To eliminate Delek’s equity income previously recorded on its equity method investment in Alon, prior to the Merger. Such pro forma elimination resulted in an increase (decrease) to pre-tax income
$4.8 million
for the three months ended
September 30, 2016
, and
$(3.2) million
and
$33 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
and
2016
, respectively.
|
|
|
(e)
|
To eliminate the impairment charge recognized on the equity method investment in Alon in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2016
, and to eliminate the gain on remeasurement of the equity method investment in Alon during the nine months ended
September 30, 2017
.
|
|
|
(f)
|
To record the tax effect on pro forma adjustments and additional tax benefit associated with dividends received from Alon at a combined U.S. (federal and state) income tax statutory blended rate of
36.58%
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
, and
35.37%
for the three and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2016
.
|
|
|
(g)
|
To adjust the weighted average number of shares outstanding based on
0.504
of a share of Delek common stock for each share of Alon common stock outstanding as of
September 30, 2017
, reflecting the elimination of Alon historical weighted average shares outstanding and the addition of the estimated New Delek incremental shares issued.
|
The pro forma income statement does not reflect certain non-recurring adjustments that have been or are expected to be recorded in connection with the Delek/Alon Merger, including any accrual for integration costs or additional transaction costs expected to be incurred at or subsequent to closing, as well as the anticipated gain (loss) on the reversal of the non-controlling equity method investment in Alon and its related tax effects (including the applicable utilization of related deferred tax assets), as such adjustments are not expected to be indicative of on-going operations of the combined company.
As of June 30, 2017, the carrying value of Delek's equity method investment in Alon was
$252.6 million
. During the three and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
, we recognized a gain of
$196.4 million
as a result of remeasuring the
47%
equity method investment in Alon at its fair value as of the Effective Time of the Delek/Alon Merger in accordance with ASC 805,
Business Combinations,
net of a
$6.3 million
loss to record the reversal of accumulated other comprehensive income. This net gain of
$190.1 million
was recognized in the line item entitled Gain on remeasurement of equity method investment in Alon in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The acquisition-date fair value of the pre-existing non-controlling interest in Alon was
$449.0 million
and is included in the measurement of the consideration transferred.
Delek began consolidating Alon's results of operations on July 1, 2017. Alon contributed
$1,008.8 million
to net sales and
$18.1 million
to net income (net of income attributed to non-controlling interest of
$5.2 million
) for the three months ended
September 30, 2017
.
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, Delek made
two
pipeline asset acquisitions, for a total purchase price of
$12.1 million
. Such acquisitions were accounted for as asset acquisitions, and therefore the cost of the acquisition has been allocated to the cost of the assets acquired on a relative fair value basis.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the relative fair value assigned to the asset groups for the acquisitions (in millions):

Alon Partnership
The Alon Partnership is a publicly-traded limited partnership that owns the assets and conducts the operations of the Big Spring refinery and the associated integrated wholesale marketing operations. The limited partner interests of the Alon Partnership are represented as common units outstanding. As of
September 30, 2017
, the
11,492,800
common units held by the public represent
18.4%
of the Alon Partnership’s common units outstanding. We own the remaining
81.6%
of the Alon Partnership’s common units and Alon USA Partners GP, LLC (the “Alon General Partner”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, owns
100%
of the general partner interest in the Alon Partnership, which is a non-economic interest.
The limited partner interests in the Alon Partnership not owned by us are reflected in net income attributable to non-controlling interest in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and in non-controlling interest in subsidiaries in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We have agreements with the Alon Partnership, under which the Alon Partnership has agreed to reimburse us for certain administrative and operational services provided by us and our subsidiaries to the Alon Partnership, indemnify us with respect to certain matters and establish terms for the supply of products by the Alon Partnership to us.
The Alon Partnership is a variable interest entity as defined under GAAP and is consolidated into our condensed consolidated financial statements as part of the refining segment. We have elected to push down purchase accounting to the Alon Partnership, which resulted in the push-down of the preliminary fair value of equity as purchase price consideration, and the preliminary fair valuing of assets and liabilities as of the Merger date. Such push-down purchase accounting also resulted in a preliminary determination of the fair value of our non-controlling interest in the Alon Partnership, which is estimated to be
$120.6 million
. With the exception of intercompany balances which are eliminated in consolidation, the Alon Partnership condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
September 30, 2017
, as presented below, is included in the consolidated balance sheets of Delek (unaudited, in millions).

. Equity Method Investments
On May 14, 2015, Delek acquired from Alon Israel Oil Company, Ltd. ("Alon Israel") approximately
33.7 million
shares of common stock (the "ALJ Shares") of Alon pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement with Alon Israel dated April 14, 2015 (the "Alon Acquisition"). The ALJ Shares represented an equity interest in Alon of approximately
48%
at the time of acquisition. We acquired the ALJ Shares with a combination of cash, Delek stock and seller-financed debt. Effective July 1, 2017, Alon became a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Delek in connection with the Delek/Alon Merger. See Note
2
for further discussion.
Below is summarized financial information of the financial condition and results of operations of Alon (in millions) for the previous periods when Alon was considered an equity method investment:

In March 2015, Delek Logistics entered into
two
joint ventures that have constructed logistics assets, which serve third parties and subsidiaries of Delek. Delek Logistics' investment in these joint ventures was financed through a combination of cash from operations and borrowings under the DKL Revolver (as defined in Note
8
). As of
September 30, 2017
, Delek Logistics' investment balance in these joint ventures was
$106.1 million
and was accounted for using the equity method. One of the joint venture projects was completed and began operations in September 2016. The other was completed and began operations in January 2017.
In July 2017, Delek Renewables, LLC invested in a joint venture with an unrelated third party, that was formed to plan, develop, construct, own, operate and maintain a terminal consisting of an ethanol unit train facility with an ethanol tank in North Little Rock, Arkansas. This investment was financed through cash from operations. As of
September 30, 2017
, Delek Renewables, LLC's investment balance in this joint venture was
$1.3 million
and was accounted for using the equity method. The investment in this joint venture is reflected in the refining segment.
Effective with the Delek/Alon Merger, we own a
50%
interest in
two
joint ventures that own asphalt terminals located in Fernley, Nevada, and Brownwood, Texas. As of
September 30, 2017
, Delek's investment balance in these joint ventures was
$34.0 million
and is accounted for using the equity method. These investments are included as part of total assets in the corporate, other and eliminations segment.

Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
Retail Entities
In August 2016, Delek entered into a Purchase Agreement to sell the Retail Entities to COPEC. As a result of the Purchase Agreement, we met the requirements of ASC 205-20
and ASC 360 to report the results of the Retail Entities as discontinued operations and to classify the Retail Entities as a group of assets held for sale. The fair value assessment of the Retail Entities as of August 27, 2016 did not result in an impairment. We ceased depreciation of these assets as of August 27, 2016. The Retail Transaction closed in November 2016 and we received cash consideration of
$378.9 million
, net of debt repayments and transaction costs, and retained approximately
$62.8 million
of net liabilities from the Retail Entities. The Retail Transaction resulted in a gain on sale of the Retail Entities, before income tax, of
$134.1 million
in the three months ended December 31, 2016.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Lion Oil and MAPCO Express entered into a supply agreement at the closing of the Retail Transaction pursuant to which Lion Oil will supply fuel to retail locations owned by MAPCO Express for a period of
18 months
following the closing of the Retail Transaction (the "Fuel Supply Agreement"). We recorded net revenues of
$97.7 million
and
$306.3 million
and net cash inflows of
$101.4 million
and
$337.5 million
for the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
, respectively, associated with the Fuel Supply Agreement.
Once the Retail Entities were identified as assets held for sale, the operations associated with these properties qualified for reporting as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the operating results, net of tax, from discontinued operations are presented separately in Delek’s condensed consolidated statements of income and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to exclude the discontinued operations. Components of amounts reflected in income from discontinued operations are as follows (in millions):

California Discontinued Entities
During the third quarter 2017, we committed to a plan to sell
100%
of our equity interests in (or substantially all of the assets of) our subsidiaries associated with our Paramount and Long Beach, California refineries and our California renewable fuels facility (AltAir Paramount, LLC), which were acquired as part of the Delek/Alon Merger. As a result of this decision and commitment to a plan, and because it was made within three months of the Delek/Alon Merger, we met the requirements under ASC 205-20 and ASC 360 to report the results of the California Discontinued Entities as discontinued operations and to classify the California Discontinued Entities as a group of assets held for sale as of July 1, 2017. The sale of the California Discontinued Entities is currently anticipated to occur within the next
12 months
. The property, plant and equipment of the California Discontinued Entities were recorded at fair value as part of the Delek/Alon Merger, and we did not record any depreciation of these assets since the Delek/Alon Merger.
The carrying amount of the major classes of assets and liabilities of the California Discontinued Entities included in assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale are as follows (in millions):

Once the operating assets of the California Discontinued Entities met the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale, the operations associated with these properties qualified for reporting as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the operating results, net of tax, from discontinued operations are presented separately in Delek’s condensed consolidated statements of income and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to exclude the discontinued operations. Classification as discontinued operations requires retrospective reclassification of the associated assets, liabilities and results of operations for all periods presented, beginning (in this case) as of the date of acquisition, which was July 1, 2017.

. Inventory
Crude oil, work-in-process, refined products, blendstocks and asphalt inventory for all of our operations, excluding the Tyler refinery and merchandise inventory in our Retail segment, are stated at the lower of cost determined using the FIFO basis or net realizable value. Cost of all inventory at the Tyler refinery is determined using the LIFO inventory valuation method and inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Retail merchandise inventory consists of cigarettes, beer, convenience merchandise and food service merchandise and is stated at estimated cost as determined by the retail inventory method.
Carrying value of inventories consisted of the following (in millions):

Due to a lower crude oil and refined product pricing environment experienced since the end of 2014, market prices have declined to a level below the average cost of our inventories. At
September 30, 2017
, we recorded a pre-tax inventory valuation reserve of
$17.5 million
,
$16.4 million
of which related to LIFO inventory, which is subject to reversal in subsequent periods, not to exceed LIFO cost, should market prices recover. At
December 31, 2016
, we recorded a pre-tax inventory valuation reserve of
$16.0 million
, all of which related to LIFO inventory, which reversed in the first quarter of
2017
, as the inventories associated with the valuation adjustment at the end of
2016
were sold or used. We recognized net inventory valuation gains (losses) of
$11.6 million
and
$(1.5) million
for the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
, respectively, and
$7.8 million
and
$26.0 million
for the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2016
, respectively. These gains (losses) were recorded as a component of cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of income.
At
September 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, the excess of replacement cost (FIFO) over the carrying value (LIFO) of the Tyler refinery inventories was
$5.6 million
and
$3.5 million
, respectively.
Permanent Liquidations
We incurred a permanent reduction in a LIFO layer resulting in liquidation gain (loss) in our refinery inventory of
$0.4 million
and
$0.2 million
during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
, respectively, and
$(2.4) million
during the nine months ended
September 30, 2016
. These liquidation gains (losses) were recognized as a component of cost of goods sold.

. Crude Oil Supply and Inventory Purchase Agreements
Delek has Master Supply and Offtake Agreements (the "Supply and Offtake Agreements") with J. Aron & Company ("J. Aron").
El Dorado refinery operations
Throughout the term of the Supply and Offtake Agreement that supports the operations of our El Dorado refinery (the "El Dorado Supply and Offtake Agreement"), which was amended on February 27, 2017 to change, among other things, certain terms related to pricing and an extension of the maturity date to
April 30, 2020
, Lion Oil and J. Aron will identify mutually acceptable contracts for the purchase of crude oil from third parties and J. Aron will supply up to
100,000
barrels per day ("bpd") of crude oil to the El Dorado refinery. Crude oil supplied to the El Dorado refinery by J. Aron will be purchased daily at an estimated average monthly market price by Lion Oil. J. Aron will also purchase all refined products from the El Dorado refinery at an estimated daily market price, as they are produced. These daily purchases and sales are trued-up on a monthly basis in order to reflect actual average monthly prices. We have recorded a (payable) receivable related to this monthly settlement of
$1.5 million
and
$6.9 million
as of
September 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, respectively. Also pursuant to the El Dorado Supply and Offtake Agreement and other related agreements, Lion Oil will endeavor to arrange potential sales by either Lion Oil or J. Aron to third parties of the products produced at the El Dorado refinery or purchased from third parties. In instances where Lion Oil is the seller to such third parties, J. Aron will first transfer title to the applicable products to Lion Oil.
This arrangement is accounted for as a product financing arrangement. Delek incurred fees payable to J. Aron of
$2.5 million
and
$7.3 million
during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
, respectively, and
$2.6 million
and
$7.4 million
during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2016
, respectively. These amounts are included as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Upon any termination of the El Dorado Supply and Offtake Agreement, including in connection with a force majeure event, the parties are required to negotiate with third parties for the assignment to us of certain contracts, commitments and arrangements, including procurement contracts, commitments for the sale of product, and pipeline, terminalling, storage and shipping arrangements.
Upon the expiration of the El Dorado Supply and Offtake Agreement on
April 30, 2020
, or upon any earlier termination, Delek will be required to repurchase the consigned crude oil and refined products from J. Aron at then prevailing market prices. At
September 30, 2017
, Delek had
2.9 million
barrels of inventory consigned from J. Aron, and we have recorded liabilities associated with this consigned inventory of
$157.3 million
in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Alon refinery operations
Effective with the Delek/Alon Merger, we assumed Alon's existing Supply and Offtake Agreements and other associated agreements with J. Aron, to support the operations of our Big Spring, Krotz Springs and California refineries (as further defined in Note
14
) and certain of our asphalt terminals (together, the “Alon Supply and Offtake Agreements”). Pursuant to the Alon Supply and Offtake Agreements, (i) J. Aron agreed to sell to us, and we agreed to buy from J. Aron, at market prices, crude oil for processing at these refineries and (ii) we agreed to sell, and J. Aron agreed to buy, at market prices, certain refined products produced at these refineries. The Alon Supply and Offtake Agreements also provide for the sale, at market prices, of our crude oil and certain refined product inventories to J. Aron, the lease to J. Aron of crude oil and refined product storage facilities, and the identification of prospective purchasers of refined products on J. Aron’s behalf. The Supply and Offtake Agreements for the Big Spring and Krotz Springs refineries have initial terms that expire in May 2021, and the Supply and Offtake Agreement for the California refineries has initial terms that expire in May 2019. J. Aron may elect to terminate the Supply and Offtake Agreements for the Big Spring and Krotz Springs refineries prior to the expiration of the initial term beginning in May 2018 and upon each anniversary thereof, on
six months
' prior notice. We may elect to terminate at the Big Spring and Krotz Springs refineries in May 2020 on
six months
' prior notice. J. Aron may elect to terminate the Supply and Offtake Agreement for the California refineries prior to the expiration of the initial term beginning in May 2017 and upon each anniversary thereof, on
six months
prior notice. We may elect to terminate at the California refineries in May 2018 on
six months
' prior notice.
These daily purchases and sales are trued-up on a monthly basis in order to reflect actual average monthly prices. We have recorded a receivable related to this monthly settlement of
$6.6 million
as of
September 30, 2017
.
These arrangements are accounted for as product financing arrangements. Delek incurred fees payable to J. Aron of
$2.3 million
during the three months ended
September 30, 2017
. These amounts are included as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Upon any termination of the Alon Supply and Offtake Agreement, including in connection with a force majeure event, the parties are required to negotiate with third parties for the assignment to us of certain contracts, commitments and arrangements, including procurement contracts, commitments for the sale of product, and pipeline, terminalling, storage and shipping arrangements.
Upon the expiration of the Alon Supply and Offtake Agreements, or upon any earlier termination, Delek will be required to repurchase the consigned crude oil and refined products from J. Aron at then prevailing market prices. At
September 30, 2017
, Delek had
3.4 million
barrels of inventory consigned from J. Aron, and we have recorded liabilities associated with this consigned inventory of
$229.4 million
in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In connection with the Alon Supply and Offtake Agreement for our Krotz Springs refinery, we have granted a security interest to J. Aron in all of its accounts and inventory to secure its obligations to J. Aron. In addition, we have granted a security interest in all of the Krotz Springs refinery's real property and equipment to J. Aron to secure our obligations under a commodity hedge and sale agreement in lieu of posting cash collateral and being subject to cash margin calls.

DKL Revolver
Delek Logistics has a
$700.0 million
senior secured revolving credit agreement with Fifth Third Bank, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the "DKL Revolver"). Delek Logistics and all of its existing wholly-owned subsidiaries are borrowers under the DKL Revolver, except Delek Logistics Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delek Logistics ("Finance Corp."). The DKL Revolver contains a dual currency borrowing tranche that permits draw downs in U.S. or Canadian dollars and an accordion feature whereby Delek Logistics can increase the size of the credit facility to an aggregate of
$800.0 million
, subject to receiving increased or new commitments from lenders and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent.
The obligations under the DKL Revolver are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of Delek Logistics' tangible and intangible assets. Additionally, a subsidiary of Delek provides a limited guaranty of Delek Logistics' obligations under the DKL Revolver. The guaranty is (i) limited to an amount equal to the principal amount, plus unpaid and accrued interest, of a promissory note made by Delek in favor of the subsidiary guarantor (the "Holdings Note") and (ii) secured by the subsidiary guarantor's pledge of the Holdings Note to the DKL Revolver lenders. As of
September 30, 2017
, the principal amount of the Holdings Note was
$102.0 million
.
The DKL Revolver will mature on
December 30, 2019
. Borrowings under the DKL Revolver bear interest at either a
U.S. base rate
,
Canadian prime rate
,
LIBOR
, or a
Canadian Dealer Offered Rate
, in each case plus applicable margins, at the election of the borrowers and as a function of draw down currency. The applicable margin, in each case, varies based upon Delek Logistics' leverage ratio, which is defined as the ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters. At
September 30, 2017
, the weighted average borrowing rate
was approximately
4.0%
. Additionally, the DKL Revolver requires Delek Logistics to pay a leverage ratio dependent quarterly fee on the average unused revolving commitment. As of
September 30, 2017
, this fee was
0.50%
per year. As of
September 30, 2017
, Delek Logistics had
$158.8 million
of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, as well as letters of credit issued of
$8.5 million
. Unused credit commitments under the DKL Revolver, as of
September 30, 2017
, were
$532.7 million
.
DKL Notes
On May 23, 2017, Delek Logistics and Finance Corp. (collectively, the “Issuers”), issued
$250.0 million
in aggregate principal amount of
6.750%

swing line loan sub-limit and a
$200.0 million
letter of credit sub-limit, (ii) a

, subject to additional lender commitments and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent. The Wells Revolving Loan matures on
September 29, 2021
and the Wells Term Loan matures on

The borrowing base as calculated is primarily supported by cash, certain accounts receivable and certain inventory. Borrowings under the Wells Revolving Loan and Wells Term Loan bear interest based on separate predetermined pricing grids that allow us to choose between
base rate
loans or

Alon Convertible Senior Notes
(share values in dollars)
In connection with the Delek/Alon Merger, Alon, New Delek and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) entered into a First Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), effective as of July 1, 2017, supplementing the Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2013 (the “Indenture”), pursuant to which Alon issued its
3.00%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the “ Convertible Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of
$150.0 million
, which were convertible into shares of Alon’s Common Stock, par value
$0.01
per share or cash or a combination of cash and Alon Common Stock, at Alon's election, all as provided in the Indenture. The Supplemental Indenture provides that, as of the Effective Time, the right to convert each
$1,000
principal amount of the Notes based on a number of shares of Alon Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Indenture) in effect immediately prior to the Mergers was changed into a right to convert each
$1,000
principal amount of Notes into or based on a number of shares of New Delek Common Stock (at the exchange rate of
0.504
), par value
$0.01
per share, equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Mergers. In addition, the Supplemental Indenture provides that, as of the Effective Time, New Delek fully and unconditionally guarantees, on a senior basis, Alon’s obligations under the Notes.
Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable in arrears in March and September of each year. Discount of
$1.4 million
was amortized to interest expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2017
, and the remaining discount of
$5.3 million
will be amortized through the September, 2018 maturity date. The Convertible Notes are not redeemable at our option prior to maturity. Under the terms of the Convertible Notes, the holders of the Convertible Notes cannot require us to repurchase all or part of the notes except for instances of a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture. The Convertible Notes do not contain any maintenance financial covenants.
The holders of the Convertible Notes may convert at any time after June 15, 2018 if our common stock is above the conversion price. The Convertible Notes may be converted into shares of New Delek Common Stock, into cash, or into a combination of cash and shares of New Delek Common Stock, at our election.
The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including cash dividend adjustments, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. As of
September 30, 2017
, the adjusted conversion rate was
74.3823
shares of Alon Common Stock per each
$1,000
principal amount of Convertible Notes, equivalent to a per share conversion price for New Delek Common Stock of approximately
$27
, to reflect cash dividend adjustments and the merger stock exchange rate of
0.504
(for a post-Merger conversion ratio of
37.4887
). As of
September 30, 2017
, there have been no conversions of the Convertible Notes.
The fair value of the conversion feature met the definition for recognition as a bifurcated equity instrument. As of

$26.6 million
is included in additional paid-in capital on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Convertible Note Hedge Transactions

The Purchased Options allow us to purchase up to approximately
5.6 million
shares of New Delek Common Stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, that underlie the Convertible Notes sold in the offering. As of
September 30, 2017
, the Purchased Options had an adjusted strike price of approximately
$27
per share of New Delek Common Stock. The Purchased Options will expire in September 2018.
The Purchased Options are intended to reduce the potential dilution with respect to our common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, as well as offset any potential cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount upon any conversion of the notes. The Purchased Options balance of
$23.3 million
has been included as a reduction of additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets.

Stock Repurchase Program
In December 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to
$150.0 million
of Delek common stock. Any share repurchases under the repurchase program may be implemented through open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing, price, and size of repurchases will be made at the discretion of management and will depend on prevailing market prices, general economic and market conditions and other considerations. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of stock and does not expire. There were
no
shares repurchased during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2017
.
11
. Income Taxes
Under ASC 740,
Income Taxes
(“ASC 740”), companies are required to apply an estimated annual tax rate to interim period results on a year-to-date basis; however, the estimated annual tax rate should not be applied to interim financial results if a reliable estimate cannot be made. In this situation, the interim tax rate should be based on actual year-to-date results. Based on our current projections, which have fluctuated as a result of changes in crude oil prices and the related crack spreads, we believe that using actual year-to-date results to compute
our effective tax rate will produce a more reliable estimate of our tax expense or benefit. As such, we recorded a tax provision for the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
and
2016
based on actual year-to-date results, in accordance with ASC 740.
Our effective tax rate was
53.0%
and
52.3%
for the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
, respectively, compared to
38.7%
and
42.2%
for the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2016
, respectively. The change in our effective tax rate in the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
was primarily due to the reversal of the deferred tax asset for the equity method investment in Alon.
12

Alon USA Energy, Inc. 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan
In connection with the Delek/Alon Merger, Delek assumed the Alon USA Energy, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan (“the Alon Incentive Plan”) as a component of its overall executive incentive compensation program. The Alon Incentive Plan permits the granting of awards to Alon's officers and key employees in the form of options to purchase common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares of common stock, restricted common stock units, performance shares, performance units and senior executive plan bonuses. Effective with the Delek/Alon Merger, all contractually unvested share-based awards were converted into share-based awards denominated in New Delek Common Stock. Committed but unissued share-based awards were exchanged and converted into rights to receive share-based awards indexed to New Delek Common Stock.
Compensation expense for the Alon Incentive Plan equity-based awards amounted to
$0.6 million
(
$0.4 million
, net of taxes) for the three months ended
September 30, 2017

Non-employee directors of the Alon Partnership, who are designated by Alon’s directors, are awarded an annual grant of
$25,000
in restricted common units, which vest over a period of

. Segment Data
Prior to August 2016, we aggregated our operating units into
three
reportable segments: refining, logistics and retail. However, in August 2016, Delek entered into a Purchase Agreement to sell the Retail Entities, which consisted of all of the retail segment at that time and a portion of the corporate, other and eliminations segment, to COPEC. As a result of the Purchase Agreement, we met the requirements of ASC 205-20 and ASC 360 to report the results of the Retail Entities as discontinued operations and to classify the Retail Entities as a group of assets held for sale. The Retail Entities were sold in November 2016. The operating results for the Retail Entities, in all periods up until and including the date of the sale, were reclassified to discontinued operations and are no longer reported as part of Delek's retail segment.
Effective with the Delek/Alon Merger July 1, 2017 (see Note
2
), Delek's retail segment now includes the operations of Alon's approximately
300
owned and leased convenience store sites located primarily in Central and West Texas and New Mexico. These convenience stores typically offer various grades of gasoline and diesel under the Alon brand name and food products, food service, tobacco products, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, general merchandise as well as money orders to the public, primarily under the 7-Eleven and Alon brand names. Substantially all of the motor fuel sold through our retail segment is supplied by our Big Spring refinery (which is owned by the Alon Partnership), which is transferred to the retail segment at prices substantially determined by reference to published commodity pricing information.
Our corporate activities, results of certain immaterial operating segments, including Alon's asphalt terminal operations effective with the Delek/Alon Merger, our equity method investment in Alon prior to the Delek/Alon Merger, as well as any discontinued operations, and intercompany eliminations are reported in the corporate, other and eliminations segment. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of operating performance are made based on this segmentation. Management measures the operating performance of each of the reportable segments based on the segment contribution margin. Segment contribution margin is defined as net sales less cost of sales and operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization. Operations which are not specifically included in the reportable segments are included in the corporate and other category, which primarily consists of operating expenses, depreciation and amortization expense and interest income and expense associated with our discontinued operations and with our corporate headquarters.
The refining segment processes crude oil and other purchased feedstocks for the manufacture of transportation motor fuels, including various grades of gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, asphalt and other petroleum-based products that are distributed through owned and third-party product terminals. Prior to the Delek/Alon Merger, the refining segment had a combined nameplate capacity of
155,000
bpd, including the
75,000
bpd Tyler refinery and the
80,000
bpd El Dorado refinery. The refining segment also owns and operates
two
biodiesel facilities involved in the production of biodiesel fuels and related activities. Effective with the Delek/Alon Merger, our refining segment now also includes the operations of a sour crude oil refinery located in Big Spring, Texas with a nameplate capacity of
73,000
bpd, a light sweet crude oil refinery located in Krotz Springs, Louisiana with a nameplate capacity of
74,000
bpd, and a heavy crude oil refinery located in Bakersfield, California. The Bakersfield, California refinery has not processed crude oil since 2012 due to the high cost of crude oil relative to product yield and low asphalt demand. Alon's petroleum-based products are marketed primarily in the South Central, Southwestern and Western regions of the United States and also ships and sells gasoline into wholesale markets in the Southern and Eastern United States. Motor fuels are sold under the Alon
brand through various terminals to supply Alon branded retail sites, including our retail segment convenience stores. In addition, Alon sells motor fuels through its wholesale distribution network on an unbranded basis.
Our refining segment has a services agreement with our logistics segment, which, among other things, requires the refining segment to pay service fees based on the number of gallons sold at the Tyler refinery and a sharing of a portion of the margin achieved in return for providing marketing, sales and customer services. This intercompany transaction fee was
$5.2 million
and
$14.8 million
during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
, respectively, and
$4.1 million
and
$12.2 million
during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2016
, respectively. Additionally, the refining segment pays crude transportation, terminalling and storage fees to the logistics segment for the utilization of pipeline, terminal and storage assets. These fees were
$33.3 million
and
$97.5 million
during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
, respectively, and
$30.4 million
and
$92.1 million
during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2016
, respectively. The logistics segment also sold
$1.4 million
and
$3.9 million
of Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") to the refining segment during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
, respectively, and
$1.8 million
and
$4.7 million
during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2016
, respectively. The refining segment recorded sales and fee revenues from the logistics segment of
$10.0 million
and
$27.1 million
during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
, and recorded sales and fee revenues from the logistics segment and the Retail Entities, the operations of which are included in discontinued operations, in the amount of
$78.1 million
and
$266.6 million
during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2016
. Refined products purchased from Alon by the logistics segment subsequent to the Delek/Alon Merger totaled $
0.8 million
during the three months ended
September 30, 2017
. Also subsequent to the Delek/Alon Merger, the logistics segment sold refined products of $
0.2 million
during the three months ended
September 30, 2017
to Alon. Intercompany fees and sales for the refining segment include the revenues from the sale of products to the retail segment of
$90.6 million
and sales of asphalt to Delek's other category of
$7.7 million
during the three months ended
September 30, 2017
. All inter-segment transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Our logistics segment owns and operates crude oil and refined products logistics and marketing assets. The logistics segment generates revenue and contribution margin by charging fees for gathering, transporting and storing crude oil and for marketing, distributing, transporting and storing intermediate and refined products.
Delek's other category in the following tables, subsequent to the Delek/Alon Merger, includes the operations of the Paramount, California and Long Beach, California heavy crude oil refineries, which have not processed crude oil since 2012, and a majority ownership interest in a renewable fuels facility in California, which has a throughput capacity of
3,000
bpd and converts tallow and vegetable oils into renewable fuels. The produced renewable fuels are drop-in replacements for petroleum-based fuels. The renewable fuels facility generates both state and federal environmental credits as well as the federal blender’s tax credit, when effective. The renewable fuels facility is inside the Paramount refinery and utilizes the refinery’s infrastructure, including electrical and other utility systems, tanks, and product blending and loading facilities. As a result of Delek management's committing to a plan to sell
100%
of its equity interests in the California Discontinued Entities, we met the requirements under ASC 205-20 and ASC 360 to report the results of those operations as discontinued operations and to classify the applicable assets as a group of assets held for sale.
The following is a summary of business segment operating performance as measured by contribution margin for the period indicated (in millions):

In accordance with ASC 360, Delek evaluates the realizability of property, plant and equipment as events occur that might indicate potential impairment. There were no indicators of impairment of our property, plant and equipment as of
September 30, 2017
.

. Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of financial instruments are estimated based upon current market conditions and quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments. Management estimates that the carrying value approximates fair value for all of Delek’s assets and liabilities that fall under the scope of ASC 825,
Financial Instruments
("ASC 825").
Delek applies the provisions of ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements
("ASC 820"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for its measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies to our commodity and interest rate derivatives that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The standard also requires that we assess the impact of nonperformance risk on our derivatives. Nonperformance risk is not considered material to our financial statements at this time.
ASC 820 requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting our assumptions about pricing by market participants.
Over the counter ("OTC") commodity swaps, physical commodity purchase and sale contracts and interest rate swaps and caps are generally valued using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices, spot prices, interest rates, time value, volatility factors and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. The degree to which these inputs are observable in the forward markets determines the classification as Level 2 or 3. Our contracts are valued based on exchange pricing and/or price index developers such as Platts or Argus and are, therefore, classified as Level 2.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") requires certain refiners to blend biofuels into the fuel products they produce pursuant to the EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard - 2. Alternatively, credits called RINs, which may be generated and/or purchased, can be used to satisfy this obligation instead of physically blending biofuels ("RINs Obligation"). Our RINs Obligation surplus or deficit is based on the amount of RINs we must purchase, net of amounts internally generated and purchased and the price of those RINs as of the balance sheet date. The RINs Obligation surplus or deficit is categorized as Level 2 and is measured at fair value based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.
On March 1, 2017, the El Dorado refinery received approval from the EPA for a small refinery exemption from the requirements of the renewable fuel standard for the 2016 calendar year. This waiver resulted in a reduction of our RINs Obligation and related cost of goods sold of approximately
$47.5 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
.
From time to time, Delek enters into future commitments to purchase or sell RINs at fixed prices and quantities, which are used to manage the costs associated with our RINs Obligation. These future RIN commitment contracts meet the definition of derivative instruments under ASC 815
, Derivatives and Hedging
("ASC 815"). They are categorized as Level 2, and are measured at fair value based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service. Changes in the fair value of these future RIN commitment contracts are recorded in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of income.
We have elected to account for our J. Aron step-out liability at fair value in accordance with ASC 825
,
as it pertains to the fair value option. This standard permits the election to carry financial instruments and certain other items similar to financial instruments at fair value on the balance sheet, with all changes in fair value reported in earnings. By electing the fair value option, we can achieve an accounting result similar to a fair value hedge without having to follow the complex hedge accounting rules. Our J. Aron step-out liability is categorized as Level 2, and is measured at fair value using market prices for the consigned crude oil and refined products we are required to repurchase from J. Aron at the end of the term of the Supply and Offtake Agreement. The J. Aron step-out liability is presented in the Obligation under Supply and Offtake Agreement line item of the our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
September 30, 2017
. The
December 31, 2016
balance in Obligation under Supply and Offtake Agreement includes the J. Aron step-out liability, net of a
$20.2 million
holdback deposit, which is not eligible for the fair value option. Such deposit was classified as current and presented as an offset to the current liability because the contract had not been renewed as of that date. Gains (losses) related to the change in fair value were recorded as a component of cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of income.
The fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at
September 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, was as follows (in millions):

The derivative values above are based on analysis of each contract as the fundamental unit of account as required by ASC 820. In the table above, derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty are not netted where the legal right of offset exists. This differs from the presentation in the financial statements which reflects our policy, wherein we have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty and where the legal right of offset exists. As of
September 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
,
$16.3 million
and
$14.7 million
, respectively, of cash collateral was held by counterparty brokerage firms and has been netted with the net derivative positions with each counterparty. See Note
16
for further information regarding derivative instruments.

. Derivative Instruments
We use derivatives to reduce normal operating and market risks with the primary objective of reducing the impact of market price volatility on our results of operations. As such, our use of derivative contracts is aimed at:
|
|
•
|
limiting the exposure to price fluctuations of commodity inventory above or below target levels at each of our segments;
|
|
|
•
|
managing our exposure to commodity price risk associated with the purchase or sale of crude oil, feedstocks and finished grade fuel products at each of our segments; and
|
|
|
•
|
limiting the exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our floating rate borrowings.
|
We primarily utilize OTC commodity swaps, generally with maturity dates of
three
years or less, and interest rate swap and cap agreements to achieve these objectives. OTC commodity swap contracts require cash settlement for the commodity based on the difference between a fixed or floating price and the market price on the settlement date. Interest rate swap and cap agreements economically hedge floating rate debt by exchanging interest rate cash flows, based on a notional amount from a floating rate to a fixed rate. Effective with the Delek/Alon Merger, we have interest rate swap agreements, maturing March 2019, that effectively fix the variable LIBOR interest component of the term loans within the Alon Retail Credit Agreement. The aggregate notional amount under these agreements covers approximately
77%
of the outstanding principal of these term loans throughout the duration of the interest rate swaps. See Note
8
for further information. At this time, we do not believe there is any material credit risk with respect to the counterparties to these contracts.
From time to time, we also enter into future commitments to purchase or sell RINs at fixed prices and quantities, which are used to manage the costs associated with our RINs Obligation. These future RIN commitment contracts meet the definition of derivative instruments under ASC 815
,
and are recorded at estimated fair value in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815. Changes in the fair value of these future RIN commitment contracts are recorded in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of income.
In accordance with ASC 815, certain of our OTC commodity swap contracts and our interest rate agreements have been designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the change in fair value between the execution date and the end of period has been recorded in other comprehensive income. The effective portion of the fair value of these contracts is recognized in income at the time the positions are closed and the hedged transactions are recognized in income.
From time to time, we also enter into futures contracts with supply vendors that secure supply of product to be purchased for use in the normal course of business at our refining segment. These contracts are priced based on an index that is clearly and closely related to the product being purchased, contain no net settlement provisions and typically qualify under the normal purchase exemption from derivative accounting treatment under ASC 815.
The following table presents the fair value of our derivative instruments as of
September 30, 2017
and
December 31, 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 our master netting arrangements, including cash collateral on deposit with our counterparties. We have elected to offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements. As a result, the asset and liability amounts below differ from the amounts presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note
15
for further information regarding the fair value of derivative instruments (in millions):

For cash flow hedges,
no
component of the derivative instruments’ gains or losses was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
or
2016
. As of
September 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, losses of
$4.7 million
and
$16.2 million
, respectively, on cash flow hedges, net of tax, primarily related to future purchases of crude oil and the associated sale of finished grade fuel, remained in accumulated other comprehensive income. Losses of
$0.7 million
and
$25.0 million
, net of tax, on settled commodity contracts were reclassified into cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of income during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
, respectively. Losses of
$4.5 million
and
$13.9 million
, net of tax, on settled commodity contracts were reclassified into cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of income during the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2016
, respectively. We estimate that
$7.2 million
of deferred losses related to commodity cash flow hedges will be reclassified into cost of goods sold over the next 12 months as a result of hedged transactions that are forecasted to occur. As of
September 30, 2017
, gains of
$0.1 million
, net of tax, related to the interest rate cash flow hedges, remained in accumulated other comprehensive income. We estimate that a nominal amount of deferred gains related to interest rate cash flow hedges will be reclassified into interest expense over the next 12 months as a result of hedged transactions that are forecasted to occur. Related to Alon's interest rate swap cash flow hedges, we recognized $
0.1 million
in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income, and there was no cash flow hedge ineffectiveness for the three months ended September 30, 2017. There are
no
interest rate derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments.
For the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
and
September 30, 2016
, there were
no
amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income as a result of the discontinuation of cash flow hedge accounting.
17
. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In the ordinary conduct of our business, we are from time to time subject to lawsuits, investigations and claims, including environmental claims and employee-related matters.
Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against us, including civil penalties or other enforcement actions, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceeding or proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
One of our Alon subsidiaries was party to a lawsuit alleging breach of contract pertaining to an asphalt supply agreement. During the three months ended
September 30, 2017
, we reached a settlement on this matter which was included in accrued liabilities in purchase accounting as part of the fair value of the liabilities assumed in the Delek/Alon Merger.
Self-insurance
Delek is self-insured for workers’ compensation claims up to a
$1.0 million
deductible on a per-accident basis. We self-insure for general liability claims up to
$4.0 million
on a per-occurrence basis. We self-insure for auto liability up to a
$1.0 million
deductible on a per-accident basis for claims incurred in recent periods, and up to a
$4.0 million
deductible for remaining claims from certain prior periods.
We have umbrella liability insurance available to each of our segments in an amount determined reasonable by management.
Environmental, Health and Safety
We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental and safety laws and regulations enforced by various agencies, including the EPA, the United States Department of Transportation, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, as well as numerous state, regional and local environmental, safety and pipeline agencies.
These laws and regulations govern the discharge of materials into the environment, waste management practices, pollution prevention measures and the composition of the fuels we produce, as well as the safe operation of our plants and pipelines and the safety of our workers and the public. Numerous permits or other authorizations are required under these laws and regulations for the operation of our refineries, biodiesel facilities, terminals, pipelines, underground storage tanks ("USTs"), trucks, rail cars and related operations, and may be subject to revocation, modification and renewal.
These laws and permits raise potential exposure to future claims and lawsuits involving environmental and safety matters which could include soil and water contamination, air pollution, personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by substances which we manufactured, handled, used, released or disposed of, transported, or that relate to pre-existing conditions for which we have assumed responsibility. We believe that our current operations are in substantial compliance with existing environmental and safety requirements. However, there have been and will continue to be ongoing discussions about environmental and safety matters between us and federal and state authorities, including notices of violations, citations and other enforcement actions, some of which have resulted or may result in changes to operating procedures and in capital expenditures. While it is often difficult to quantify future environmental or safety related expenditures, we anticipate that continuing capital investments and changes in operating procedures will be required for the foreseeable future to comply with existing and new requirements, as well as evolving interpretations and more strict enforcement of existing laws and regulations.
Our recently acquired Big Spring refinery has been negotiating an agreement with EPA for over
10
years under EPA’s National Petroleum Refinery Initiative regarding alleged historical violations of the federal Clean Air Act. A Consent Decree resolving these alleged historical violations for the Big Spring refinery was lodged with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas on June 6, 2017, and we expect that Consent Decree to become final later this year. If finalized, the Consent Decree will require payment of a
$0.5 million
civil penalty and capital expenditures for pollution control equipment that may be significant over the next
5
years.
As of
September 30, 2017
, we have recorded an environmental liability of approximately
$77.1 million
, primarily related to the estimated probable costs of remediating or otherwise addressing certain environmental issues of a non-capital nature at the Tyler, El Dorado, Big Spring, Krotz Springs and California refineries as well as terminals, some of which we no longer own. This liability includes estimated costs for ongoing investigation and remediation efforts, which were already being performed by the former operators of the refineries and terminals prior to our acquisition of those facilities, for known contamination of soil and groundwater, as well as estimated costs for additional issues which have been identified subsequent to the acquisitions. We expect approximately
$0.1 million
of this amount to be reimbursable by a prior owner of the El Dorado refinery, which we have recorded in other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
September 30, 2017
. We expect approximately
$2.9 million
of this amount to be reimbursable by a prior owner of certain assets associated with the Paramount refinery, and have recorded $
0.6 million
in other current assets and $
2.3 million
in other non-current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
September 30, 2017
.
Approximately
$7.3 million
of the total liability is expected to be expended over the next 12 months with most of the balance expended by 2046. In the future, we could be required to extend the expected remediation period or undertake additional investigations of our refineries, pipelines and terminal facilities, which could result in additional remediation liabilities.
We have experienced several crude oil releases from pipelines owned by our logistics segment, including, but not limited to, a release at Magnolia Station in March 2013, a release near Fouke, Arkansas in April 2015 and a release near Woodville, Texas in January 2016. In June 2015, the United States Department of Justice notified Delek Logistics that they were evaluating an enforcement action on behalf of the EPA with regard to potential Clean Water Act violations arising from the March 2013 Magnolia Station release. We are currently attempting to negotiate a resolution to this matter with the EPA and the ADEQ, which may include monetary penalties and/or other relief. Based on current information available to us, we do not believe the total costs associated with these events, whether alone or in the aggregate, including any fines or penalties, will have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Letters of Credit
As of
September 30, 2017
, we had in place letters of credit totaling approximately
$146.0 million
with various financial institutions securing obligations primarily with respect to our commodity purchases for the refining segment, our gasoline and diesel purchases for the logistics segment and our workers’ compensation and auto liability self-insurance programs.
No
amounts were drawn by beneficiaries of these letters of credit at
September 30, 2017
.
Operating Leases
Delek leases buildings, equipment and corporate office space under agreements expiring at various dates through 2035 after considering available renewal options. Many of these leases contain renewal options and require Delek to pay executory costs (such as property taxes, maintenance and insurance).
Updated for the effects of the Delek/Alon Merger, the following is our estimate of future minimum lease payments for operating leases having remaining noncancelable terms in excess of one year as of
September 30, 2017

Employees
Workforce Update
Approximately
134
employees who work at our Big Spring refinery are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that expires
April 1, 2019
. None of the other employees of Alon are represented by a union.
Retirement Plans Update
Effective with the Delek/Alon Merger (see Note
2
), we now have
four
defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all of Alon's employees, excluding employees of the retail segment. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s final average monthly compensation. Our funding policy is to contribute annually no less than the minimum required nor more than the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those benefits expected to be earned in the future. The plans were frozen for non-union employees effective September 30, 2017.
The components of net periodic benefit cost related to our benefit plans for the three months ended
September 30, 2017
consisted of the following:

Our contributions to these pension plans during the three months ended
September 30, 2017
were
$5.3 million
, and we expect to contribute
$0.7 million
to these pension plans during the remainder of 2017.
Our overall expected long-term rate of return on assets, effective with the Delek/Alon merger, is
7.45%
.
Also, effective with the Delek/Alon Merger, our 401(k) savings plans are available to eligible Alon employees, for which contributions are matched up at varying levels ranging from
4.5%
to
8%
of eligible compensation.
Postretirement Medical Plan
In addition to providing pension benefits, Alon has an unfunded postretirement medical plan covering certain health care and life insurance benefits for certain employees of Alon, that retired prior to January 2, 2017, who met eligibility requirements in the plan documents. This plan is closed to new participants. The health care benefits in excess of certain limits are insured.
19
. Subsequent Events
Planned Acquisition of Non-controlling Interest in Alon Partnership
On November 8, 2017, Delek and the Alon Partnership entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Delek will acquire all of the outstanding limited partner units which Delek does not already own in an all-equity transaction. Delek currently owns approximately
51.0 million
limited partner units of the Alon Partnership, or approximately
81.6%
of the outstanding units. Under terms of the merger agreement, the owners of the remaining outstanding units in the Alon Partnership that Delek does not currently own will receive a fixed exchange ratio of
0.49
Delek shares for each limited partner unit of the Alon Partnership. This transaction was approved by all voting members of the board of directors of the general partner of the Alon Partnership upon the recommendation from its conflicts committee and by the board of directors of Delek. This transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018.
Dividend Declaration
On
November 7, 2017
, our Board of Directors voted to declare a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.15
per share of our common stock, payable on
December 15, 2017
to shareholders of record on
November 22, 2017
.
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is management’s analysis of our financial performance and of significant trends that may affect our future performance. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on
February 28, 2017
(the "Annual Report on Form 10-K"). Those statements in the MD&A that are not historical in nature should be deemed forward-looking statements that are inherently uncertain.
In January 2017, we announced that Delek US Holdings, Inc. (and various related entities) had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Alon USA Energy, Inc. (NYSE: ALJ) ("Alon"), as subsequently amended on February 27 and April 21, 2017 (as so amended, the "Merger Agreement"). The related Merger (the "Merger" or the "Delek/Alon Merger") was effective July 1, 2017 (the “Effective Time”), resulting in a new post-combination consolidated registrant renamed as Delek US Holdings, Inc. (“New Delek”), with Alon and the previous Delek US Holdings, Inc. (“Old Delek”) surviving as wholly-owned subsidiaries. New Delek is the successor issuer to Old Delek and Alon pursuant to Rule 12g-3(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as amended. In addition, as a result of the Delek/Alon Merger, the shares of common stock of Old Delek and Alon were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange in July 2017, and their respective reporting obligations under the Exchange Act were terminated. Concurrently, the shares of common stock of New Delek began trading under Old Delek's former ticker symbol, "DK." Prior to July 1, 2017, Old Delek owned a non-controlling equity interest of approximately
47%
of the outstanding shares (the "ALJ Shares") in Alon. Alon is a refiner and marketer of petroleum products, operating primarily in the south central, southwestern and western regions of the United States. Alon owns 100% of the general partner and
81.6%
of the limited partner interests in Alon USA Partners, LP (NYSE: ALDW), which owns a crude oil refinery in Big Spring, Texas with a crude oil throughput capacity of 73,000 bpd and an integrated wholesale marketing business. In addition, Alon directly owns a crude oil refinery in Krotz Springs, Louisiana with a crude oil throughput capacity of 74,000 bpd. Alon also owns crude oil refineries in California, which have not processed crude oil since 2012. Alon is a marketer of asphalt, which it distributes through asphalt terminals located predominantly in the southwestern and western United States. Alon is the largest 7-Eleven licensee in the United States and operates approximately 300 convenience stores which market motor fuels primarily in central and west Texas and New Mexico.
Unless otherwise noted or the context requires otherwise, the terms "we," "our," "us," "Delek" and the "Company" are used in this report to refer to Old Delek and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods prior to July 1,2017, and New Delek and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods on or after July 1, 2017.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These forward-looking statements reflect our current estimates, expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, the information concerning our possible future results of operations, business and growth strategies, financing plans, expectations that regulatory developments or other matters will or will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, our competitive position and the effects of competition, the projected growth of the industry in which we operate, and the benefits and synergies to be obtained from our completed and any future acquisitions, statements of management’s goals and objectives, and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "would," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates," "appears," "projects" and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or management’s good faith belief with respect to future events, and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Important factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
|
|
•
|
volatility in our refining margins or fuel gross profit as a result of changes in the prices of crude oil, other feedstocks and refined petroleum products;
|
|
|
•
|
risk factors relating to the Delek/Alon Merger, including but not limited to risks surrounding the combining of operations, financial position and cash flows as well as systems, processes and controls going forward, as further discussed in Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors";
|
|
|
•
|
our ability to execute our strategy of growth through acquisitions and the transactional risks inherent in such acquisitions;
|
|
|
•
|
acquired assets may suffer a diminishment in fair value, which may require us to record a write-down or impairment;
|
|
|
•
|
liabilities related to, and the effects of, the sale of the Retail Entities (as defined below);
|
|
|
•
|
reliability of our operating assets;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in, or the failure to comply with, the extensive government regulations applicable to our industry segments;
|
|
|
•
|
diminution in value of long-lived assets may result in an impairment in the carrying value of the assets on our balance sheet and a resultant loss recognized in the statement of operations;
|
|
|
•
|
general economic and business conditions affecting the southern, southwestern and western United States;
|
|
|
•
|
volatility under our derivative instruments;
|
|
|
•
|
deterioration of creditworthiness or overall financial condition of a material counterparty (or counterparties);
|
|
|
•
|
unanticipated increases in cost or scope of, or significant delays in the completion of, our capital improvement and periodic turnaround projects;
|
|
|
•
|
risks and uncertainties with respect to the quantities and costs of refined petroleum products supplied to our pipelines and/or held in our terminals;
|
|
|
•
|
operating hazards, natural disasters, casualty losses and other matters beyond our control;
|
|
|
•
|
increases in our debt levels or costs;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in our ability to continue to access the credit markets;
|
|
|
•
|
compliance, or failure to comply, with restrictive and financial covenants in our various debt agreements;
|
|
|
•
|
the inability of our subsidiaries to freely make dividends, loans or other cash distributions to us;
|
|
|
•
|
acts of terrorism aimed at either our facilities or other facilities that could impair our ability to produce or transport refined products or receive feedstocks;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in the cost or availability of transportation for feedstocks and refined products; and
|
|
|
•
|
other factors discussed under the headings "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Risk Factors" and in our other filings with the SEC.
|
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, our actual results of operations and execution of our business strategy could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance upon them. In addition, past financial and/or operating performance is not necessarily a reliable indicator of future performance and you should not use our historical performance to anticipate future results or period trends. We can give no assurances that any of the events anticipated by any forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them do, what impact they will have on our results of operations and financial condition.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.
Executive Summary and Strategic Overview
Business Overview
We are an integrated downstream energy business focused on petroleum refining, the transportation, storage and wholesale distribution of crude oil, intermediate and refined products and convenience store retailing. Prior to August 2016, we aggregated our operating units into three reportable segments: refining, logistics and retail. However, in August 2016, we entered into a definitive equity purchase agreement to sell 100% of the equity interests in Delek's wholly-owned subsidiaries MAPCO Express, Inc., MAPCO Fleet, Inc., Delek Transportation, LLC, NTI Investments, LLC and GDK Bearpaw, LLC (collectively, the “Retail Entities”), the assets of which comprised our retail segment at that time (the “Retail Transaction”). The Retail Transaction closed in November 2016.
Effective with the Delek/Alon Merger July 1, 2017, Delek's retail segment now includes the operations of Alon's approximately 300 owned and leased convenience store sites located primarily in Central and West Texas and New Mexico. These convenience stores typically offer various grades of gasoline and diesel under the Alon brand name and food products, food service, tobacco products, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, general merchandise as well as money orders to the public, primarily under the 7-Eleven and Alon brand names. Substantially all of the motor fuel sold through our retail segment is supplied by our Big Spring refinery, which is transferred to the retail segment at prices substantially determined by reference to published commodity pricing information.
Our corporate activities, results of certain immaterial operating segments (including our asphalt terminal operations effective with the Delek/Alon Merger), our non-controlling equity interest of approximately 47% of the outstanding shares in Alon (which was accounted for as an equity method investment) prior to the Delek/Alon Merger and intercompany eliminations are reported in the corporate, other and eliminations segment. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of operating performance are made based on this segmentation. Management measures the operating performance of each of the reportable segments based on the segment contribution margin.
In regards to the aforementioned asphalt operations, we own or operate 10 asphalt terminals located in Texas (Big Spring), Washington (Richmond Beach), California (Paramount, Long Beach, Elk Grove, Bakersfield and Mojave), Arizona (Phoenix) as well as asphalt terminals in which we own a 50% interest located in Fernley, Nevada, and Brownwood, Texas. The operations in which we have a 50% interest are recorded under the equity method of accounting. We purchase non-blended asphalt from third parties in addition to non-blended asphalt produced at the Big Spring refinery. We market asphalt through our terminals as blended and non-blended asphalt. Sales of asphalt are seasonal with the majority of sales occurring between May and October.
Prior to the Delek/Alon Merger, the refining segment operated refineries in Tyler, Texas (the "Tyler refinery") and El Dorado, Arkansas (the "El Dorado refinery") with a combined design crude throughput (nameplate) capacity of
155,000
barrels per day ("bpd"), including the
75,000
bpd Tyler refinery and the
80,000
bpd El Dorado refinery. Our refining segment also included two biodiesel facilities we own and operate that are engaged in the production of biodiesel fuels and related activities, located in Crossett, Arkansas and Cleburn, Texas. Effective with the Delek/Alon Merger, our refining segment now also includes a crude oil refinery located in Big Spring, Texas with a nameplate capacity of 73,000 bpd, a crude oil refinery located in Krotz Springs, Louisiana with a nameplate capacity of 74,000 bpd, and a heavy crude oil refinery located in Bakersfield, California. The Bakersfield, California refinery has not processed crude oil since 2012 due to the high cost of crude oil relative to product yield and low asphalt demand.
Our corporate, other and eliminations category in the segment footnote tables in Note 14 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 1, Financial Statements, subsequent to the Delek/Alon Merger, includes the operations of the Paramount, California and Long Beach, California heavy crude oil refineries, which have not processed crude oil since 2012, and a renewable fuels facility located at the Paramount, California refinery (in which we own a majority ownership interest), which has a throughput capacity of 3,000 bpd and converts tallow and vegetable oils into renewable fuels. The produced renewable fuels are drop-in replacements for petroleum-based fuels. The renewable fuels facility generates both state and federal environmental credits as well as the federal blender’s tax credit, when effective. As a result of Delek management's committing to a plan to sell 100% of our equity interests in (or substantially all of the assets of) our subsidiaries associated with the operations of our Paramount and Long Beach, California refineries and our California renewable fuels facility, which were acquired as part of the Delek/Alon Merger (collectively, the "California Discontinued Entities"), we met the requirements under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20,
Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations
("ASC 205-20") and ASC 360,
Property, Plant and Equipment
("ASC 360") to report the results of those operations as discontinued operations and to classify the applicable assets of the California Discontinued Entities as a group of assets held for sale.
We own the Big Spring refinery and its integrated wholesale marketing operations through Alon USA Partners, LP (the "Alon Partnership"). Our marketing of transportation fuels produced at the Big Spring refinery is focused on Central and West Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona. We provide substantially all of our branded customers motor fuels, brand support and payment processing services in addition to the license of the Alon brand name and associated trade dress. We market transportation fuel production from our Krotz Springs refinery substantially through bulk sales and exchange channels. These bulk sales and exchange arrangements are entered into with various oil companies and trading companies and are transported to markets on the Mississippi River and the Atchafalaya River, as well as to the Colonial Pipeline.
Our logistics segment gathers, transports and stores crude oil and markets, distributes, transports and stores refined products in select regions of the southeastern United States and west Texas for our refining segment and third parties.
At
September 30, 2017
, we own a
61.5%
limited partner interest in Delek Logistics Partners, LP ("Delek Logistics") and a
94.6%
interest in the entity that owns the entire
2.0%
general partner interest in Delek Logistics and all of the incentive distribution rights.
D
elek Logistics was formed by Delek in 2012 to own, operate, acquire and construct crude oil and refined products logistics and marketing assets. Delek Logistics' initial assets were contributed by us and included certain assets formerly owned or used by certain of our subsidiaries. A substantial majority of Delek Logistics' assets are currently integral to our refining and marketing operations.
Our profitability in the refining segment is substantially determined by the difference between the cost of the crude oil feedstocks we purchase and the price of the refined products we sell, referred to as the "crack spread", "refining margin" or "refined product margin." The cost
to acquire feedstocks and the price of the refined petroleum products we ultimately sell from our refineries depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, gasoline and other refined petroleum products which, in turn, depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions such as hurricanes or tornadoes, local, domestic and foreign political affairs, global conflict, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive fuels and government regulation. Other significant factors that influence our results in the refining segment include operating costs (particularly the cost of natural gas used for fuel and the cost of electricity), seasonal factors, refinery utilization rates and planned or unplanned maintenance activities or turnarounds. Moreover, while the fluctuations in the cost of crude oil are typically reflected in the prices of light refined products, such as gasoline and diesel fuel, the price of other residual products, such as asphalt, coke, carbon black oil and liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG"), are less likely to move in parallel with crude cost. This could cause additional pressure on our realized margin during periods of rising or falling crude oil prices. Additionally, our margins are impacted by the pricing differentials of the various types and sources of crude oil we use at our refineries and their relation to product pricing, such as the differentials between Midland West Texas Intermediate crude oil ("WTI") and WTI Cushing or WTI Cushing and Brent crude oil.
For our Tyler refinery, we compare our per barrel refined product margin to a well established industry metric: the U.S. Gulf Coast ("Gulf Coast") 5-3-2 crack spread. The Gulf Coast 5-3-2 crack spread is used as a benchmark for measuring a refinery's product margins by measuring the difference between the market price of light products and crude oil. It represents the approximate gross margin resulting from processing one barrel of crude oil into three-fifths of a barrel of gasoline and two-fifths of a barrel of high-sulfur diesel. We calculate the Gulf Coast 5-3-2 crack spread using the market value of U.S. Gulf Coast Pipeline CBOB and U.S. Gulf Coast Pipeline No. 2 Heating Oil (high sulfur diesel) and the first month futures price of WTI on the New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX"). U.S. Gulf Coast CBOB is a grade of gasoline commonly blended with biofuels and marketed as Regular Unleaded at retail locations. U.S. Gulf Coast Pipeline No. 2 Heating Oil is a petroleum distillate that can be used as either a diesel fuel or a fuel oil. This is the standard by which other distillate products (such as ultra low sulfur diesel) are priced. The NYMEX is a commodities trading exchange where contracts for the future delivery of petroleum products are bought and sold.
The crude oil and product slate flexibility of the El Dorado refinery allows us to take advantage of changes in the crude oil and product markets; therefore, we anticipate that the quantities and varieties of crude oil processed and products manufactured at the El Dorado refinery will continue to vary. Thus, we do not believe that it is possible to develop a reasonable refined product margin benchmark that would accurately portray our refined product margins at the El Dorado refinery.
For our Big Spring refinery, we compare our per barrel refined product margin to the Gulf Coast 3-2-1 crack spread. The Gulf Coast 3-2-1 crack spread is calculated assuming that three barrels of WTI Cushing crude oil are converted, or cracked, into two barrels of Gulf Coast conventional gasoline and one barrel of Gulf Coast ultra-low sulfur diesel. Our Big Spring refinery is capable of processing substantial volumes of sour crude oil, which has historically cost less than intermediate, and/or substantial volumes of sweet crude oils, based on price differentials. We measure the cost advantage of refining sour crude oil by calculating the difference between the price of WTI Cushing crude oil and the price of West Texas Sour ("WTS"), a medium, sour crude oil. We refer to this differential as the WTI Cushing/WTS, or sweet/sour, spread. A widening of the sweet/sour spread can favorably influence the operating margin for our Big Spring refinery. The Big Spring refinery’s crude oil input is primarily comprised of WTI and WTS Midland. In addition, the location of the Big Spring refinery near Midland, the largest origination terminal for West Texas crude oil, provides reliable crude sourcing with a relatively low transportation cost. Additionally, we have the ability to source locally produced crude at Big Spring by pipeline and truck, which enables us to better control quality and eliminate the cost of transporting our crude supply from Midland. The WTI Cushing less WTI Midland spread represents the differential between the average per barrel price of WTI Cushing crude oil and the average per barrel price of WTI Midland crude oil.
For our Krotz Springs refinery, we compare our per barrel refined product margin to the Gulf Coast 2-1-1 high sulfur diesel crack spread. A Gulf Coast 2-1-1 high sulfur diesel crack spread is calculated assuming that two barrels of Light Louisiana Sweet (“LLS”) crude oil are converted into one barrel of Gulf Coast conventional gasoline and one barrel of Gulf Coast high sulfur diesel. The Krotz Springs refinery has the capability to process substantial volumes of low-sulfur, or sweet, crude oils to produce a high percentage of refined light products. Sweet crude oil typically comprises 100% of the Krotz Springs refinery’s crude oil input. The Krotz Springs refinery’s crude oil input is primarily comprised of LLS and WTI Midland.
A widening of the WTI Cushing less WTI Midland spread will favorably influence the operating margin for our refineries. Alternatively, a narrowing of this differential will have an adverse effect on our operating margins. Global product prices are influenced by the price of Brent crude which is a global benchmark crude. Global product prices influence product prices in the U.S. As a result, our refineries are influenced by the spread between Brent crude and WTI Cushing. The Brent less WTI Cushing spread represents the differential between the average per barrel price of Brent crude oil and the average per barrel price of WTI Cushing crude oil. A widening of the spread between Brent and WTI Cushing will favorably influence our refineries' operating margins. Also, the Krotz Springs refinery is influenced by the spread between Brent crude and LLS. The Brent less LLS spread represents the differential between the average per barrel price of Brent crude oil and the average per barrel price of LLS crude oil. A discount in LLS relative to Brent will favorably influence the Krotz Springs refinery operating margin.
The cost to acquire the refined fuel products we sell to our wholesale customers in our logistics segment and at our convenience stores in our retail segment depends on numerous factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, gasoline and other refined petroleum products which, in turn, depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions,
domestic and foreign political affairs, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive fuels and government regulation. Our retail merchandise sales are driven by convenience, customer service, competitive pricing and branding. Motor fuel margin is sales less the delivered cost of fuel and motor fuel taxes, measured on a cents per gallon basis. Our motor fuel margins are impacted by local supply, demand, weather, competitor pricing and product brand.
As part of our overall business strategy, we regularly evaluate opportunities to expand our portfolio of businesses and may at any time be discussing or negotiating a transaction that, if consummated, could have a material effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
Recent Developments
Delek/Alon Merger
In January 2017, we announced that Old Delek (and various related entities) entered into a Merger Agreement with Alon, as subsequently amended on February 27 and April 21, 2017. The related mergers (the "Mergers" or the "Delek/Alon Merger") were effective July 1, 2017 (as previously defined, the “Effective Time”), resulting in a new post-combination consolidated registrant renamed as Delek US Holdings, Inc. (as previously defined, “New Delek”), with Alon and Old Delek surviving as wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Delek. New Delek is the successor issuer to Old Delek and Alon pursuant to Rule 12g-3(c) under the Exchange Act, as amended. In addition, as a result of the Delek/Alon Merger, the shares of common stock of Old Delek and Alon were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange in July 2017, and their respective reporting obligations under the Exchange Act were terminated. The Mergers resulted in total stock consideration paid of approximately
$509.0 million
consisting of approximately
19.3 million
incremental shares of New Delek Common Stock.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Alon Common Stock, other than shares owned by Old Delek and its subsidiaries or held in the treasury of Alon, was converted into the right to receive
0.504
of a share of New Delek Common Stock, or, in the case of fractional shares of New Delek Common Stock, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a share of New Delek Common Stock multiplied by (ii) $25.96 per share, which was the volume weighted average price of the Old Delek Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share as reported on the NYSE Composite Transactions Reporting System for the twenty consecutive NYSE full trading days ending on June 30, 2017. Each outstanding share of restricted Alon Common Stock was assumed by New Delek and converted into restricted stock denominated in shares of New Delek Common Stock. Committed but unissued share-based awards were exchanged and converted into rights to receive share-based awards indexed to New Delek Common Stock. Conversions of restricted shares and unissued share-based awards were also subject to the exchange ratio.
In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Old Delek Common Stock or fraction thereof issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Old Delek Common Stock held in the treasury of Old Delek) was converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid and non‑assessable share of New Delek Common Stock or such fraction thereof equal to the fractional share of New Delek Common Stock. All existing Old Delek stock options, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights were converted into equivalent rights with respect to New Delek Common Stock.
In connection with the Mergers, Alon, New Delek and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) entered into a First Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), effective as of July 1, 2017, supplementing the Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2013 (the “Indenture”), pursuant to which Alon issued its 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”), which were convertible into shares of Alon’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share or cash or a combination of cash and Alon Common Stock, all as provided in the Indenture. The Supplemental Indenture provides that, as of the Effective Time, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes based on a number of shares of Alon Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Indenture) in effect immediately prior to the Mergers was changed into a right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes into or based on a number of shares of New Delek Common Stock (at the exchange ratio of
0.504
), par value $0.01 per share, equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Mergers. In addition, the Supplemental Indenture provides that, as of the Effective Time, New Delek fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior basis, Alon’s obligations under the Notes.
The primary purpose of the Mergers was to enter into a strategic combination that has resulted in a larger, more diverse company that we believe is well positioned to take advantage of opportunities in the market and better navigate the cyclical nature of the business. The combination is also expected to provide opportunities for synergies across the organization as well as create a refining system that enhances its position as a significant buyer of crude from the Permian Basin among the independent refiners.
California Discontinued Entities
During the third quarter 2017, we committed to a plan to sell 100% of our equity interests in (or substantially all of the assets of) Delek's subsidiaries associated with our Paramount and Long Beach, California refineries and our California renewable fuels facility, which were acquired as part of the Delek/Alon Merger (collectively, the "California Discontinued Entities"). As a result of this decision and commitment to a plan, and because it was made within three months of the Delek/Alon Merger, we met the requirements under ASC 205-20 and ASC 360 to report
the results of the California Discontinued Entities as discontinued operations and to classify the California Discontinued Entities as a group of assets held for sale. The sale of the California Discontinued Entities is currently anticipated to occur within the next 12 months. The property, plant and equipment of the California Discontinued Entities were recorded at fair value as part of the Delek/Alon Merger, and we did not record any depreciation of these assets since the Delek/Alon Merger.
Planned Acquisition of Non-controlling Interest in Alon Partnership
On November 8, 2017, Delek and the Alon Partnership entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Delek will acquire all of the outstanding limited partner units which Delek does not already own in an all-equity transaction. Delek currently owns approximately
51.0 million
limited partner units of the Alon Partnership, or approximately
81.6%
of the outstanding units. Under terms of the merger agreement, the owners of the remaining outstanding units in the Alon Partnership that Delek does not currently own will receive a fixed exchange ratio of
0.49
Delek shares for each limited partner unit of the Alon Partnership. This transaction was approved by all voting members of the board of directors of the general partner of the Alon Partnership upon the recommendation from its conflicts committee and by the board of directors of Delek. This transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018.
El Dorado Refinery RIN Waiver
In March 2017, the El Dorado refinery received approval from the Environmental Protection Agency for a small refinery exemption from the requirements of the renewable fuel standard for the 2016 calendar year. This waiver resulted in approximately
$47.5 million
of Renewable Identification Number ("RIN") expense reduction during the nine months ended
September 30, 2017
, based on an aggregated average price of $0.45 per RIN.
Return to Shareholders
Dividends

$0.15
per share of our common stock, payable on
December 15, 2017
to shareholders of record on
November 22, 2017
.
Share Repurchase Program
In December 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $150.0 million of Delek common stock. Any share repurchases under the repurchase program may be implemented through open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing, price, and size of repurchases will be made at the discretion of management and will depend on prevailing market prices, general economic and market conditions and other considerations. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of stock and does not expire. There were no shares repurchased during the three and six months ended
September 30, 2017
.
Market Trends
Our results of operations are significantly affected by fluctuations in the prices of certain commodities, including, but not limited to, crude oil, gasoline, distillate fuel, biofuels and natural gas and electricity, among others. Historically, our profitability has been affected by commodity price volatility, specifically as it relates to the price of crude oil and refined products.

As US crude oil production has increased, we have seen the discount for WTI Cushing widen compared to Brent. This generally leads to higher margins in our refineries as refined product prices are influenced by Brent crude prices. The discount for WTI Cushing compared to Brent increased to $3.18 during the first nine months of 2017 from $1.81 during the first nine months of 2016. Additionally our refineries continue to have greater access to WTI Midland and WTI Midland-linked crude feedstocks compared to certain of our competitors. The discount for WTI Midland compared to WTI Cushing increased to $0.53 during the first nine months of 2017 from $0.18 during the first nine months of 2016. As these price discounts increase, so does our competitive advantage created by our access to WTI-linked crude oil. The chart below illustrates the differentials of both Brent crude oil and WTI Midland crude oil as compared to WTI Cushing crude oil for each of the quarterly periods in
2016
and the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
.
Environmental
regulations continue to affect our margins in the form of the increasing cost of RINs
. On a consolidated basis, we work to balance our RINs obligations in order to minimize the effect of RINs on our results. While we generate RINs in both our refining and logistics segments through our ethanol blending and biodiesel production, our refining segment needs to purchase additional RINs to satisfy its obligations. As a result, increases in the price of RINs generally adversely affect our results of operations. It is not possible at this time to predict with certainty what future volumes or costs may be, but given the increase in required volumes and the volatile price of RINs, the cost of purchasing sufficient RINs could have an adverse impact on our results of operations if we are unable to recover those costs in the price of our refined products. The chart below illustrates the volatile nature of the price for RINs for each of the quarterly periods in
2016
and the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
.
Seasonality
Demand for gasoline and asphalt products is generally lower during the winter months due to seasonal decreases in motor vehicle traffic and road and home construction. Additionally, varying vapor pressure requirements between the summer and winter months tighten summer gasoline supply. As a result, our operating results are generally lower during the first and fourth quarters of the year for all out segments. The effects of seasonal demand for gasoline are partially offset by seasonality in demand for diesel, which is generally higher in winter months as east-west trucking traffic moves south to avoid winter conditions on northern routes.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, complex or subjective judgments or estimates. Based on this definition and as further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe our critical accounting policies include the following: (i) determining our inventory using the last-in, first-out valuation method, (ii) evaluating impairment for property, plant and equipment and definite life intangibles, (iii) valuing goodwill and evaluating potential impairment, and (iv) estimating environmental expenditures. For all financial statement periods presented, there have been no material modifications to the application of these critical accounting policies or estimates since our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 1 of Item 1. Financial Statements for discussion of updates to our accounting policies.
