1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

General

The terms “Valero,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” as used in this report, may refer to Valero Energy Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole.

These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 .

The balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from our audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to our financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .

Reclassifications

Effective January 1, 2019, we revised our reportable segments to reflect a new reportable segment — renewable diesel. The renewable diesel segment includes the operations of Diamond Green Diesel Holdings LLC (DGD), our consolidated joint venture as discussed in Note 8 , which were transferred from the refining segment. Also effective January 1, 2019, we no longer have a VLP segment, and we now include the operations of Valero Energy Partners LP and its consolidated subsidiaries (VLP) in our refining segment. Our prior period segment information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect our current segment presentation. See Note 2 regarding our merger with VLP, which occurred on January 10, 2019, and Note 11 for segment information.

Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Leases

Background

We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842, “Leases,” (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019, as described below in “Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2019.” Accordingly, our lease accounting policy has been revised to reflect the adoption of this standard.

Table of Contents

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Revised Policy

We evaluate if a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. If we determine that a contract is or contains a lease, we recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The present value of the lease payments is determined by using the implicit rate when readily determinable, or if not, our incremental borrowing rate for a term similar to the duration of the lease based on information available at the commencement date. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options.

We recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leasing arrangements with terms greater than one year. Except for the marine transportation asset class, we account for lease and non-lease components in a contract as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. Our marine transportation contracts include non-lease components such as maintenance and crew costs. We allocate the consideration in these contracts based on pricing information provided by the third-party broker.

Expense for an operating lease is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and reflected in the appropriate income statement line item based on the leased asset’s function. Amortization expense of a finance lease ROU asset is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and reflected in “depreciation and amortization expense,” and interest expense is incurred based on the carrying value of the lease liability and reflected in “interest and debt expense, net of capitalized interest.”

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2019

Topic 842

As previously noted, we adopted the provisions of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019. Topic 842 increases the transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 supersedes previous lease accounting requirements under FASB ASC Topic 840, “Leases,” (Topic 840). We adopted Topic 842 using the optional transition method that permits us to apply the new disclosure requirements beginning in 2019 and continue to present comparative period information as required under Topic 840; however, we did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption.

In addition, we elected the transition practical expedient package that permits us to not reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs under the new standard, as well as the practical expedient that permits us to not assess existing land easements under the new standard. See “Leases” above for a discussion of our accounting policy affected by our adoption of Topic 842. Also see Note 4 for information on our leases.

In preparation for the adoption of Topic 842, we enhanced our contracting and lease evaluation systems and related processes, and we developed a new lease accounting system to capture our leases and support the required disclosures. We integrated our lease accounting system with our general ledger and modified our related procurement and payment processes.

Adoption of this standard resulted in (i) the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for our operating leases of $1.3 billion , (ii) the derecognition of existing assets under construction of $539 million related to a build-to-suit lease arrangement with respect to the MVP Terminal (see Note 6 under “ Commitments— MVP

Table of Contents

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Terminal”), and (iii) the presentation of new disclosures about our leasing activities beginning in the first quarter of 2019. Adoption of this standard did not impact our results of operations or liquidity, and our accounting for finance leases is substantially unchanged.

Other

In addition to the adoption of Topic 842 discussed above, we adopted the following Accounting Standards Update (ASU) during the three months ended March 31, 2019 . Our adoption of this ASU did not affect our financial statements or related disclosures.



ASU		Adoption Date	Basis of Adoption
2017-12	Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities	January 1, 2019	Cumulative effect

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

The following ASUs have not yet been adopted and are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures.



ASU		Expected Adoption Date	Basis of Adoption
2016-13	Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments	January 1, 2020	Cumulative effect
2018-17	Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities	January 1, 2020	Cumulative effect


2.	MERGER WITH VLP

On January 10, 2019, we completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding publicly held common units of VLP pursuant to a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement, and together with the transactions contemplated thereby, the Merger Transaction) with VLP. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, each outstanding publicly held common unit was converted into the right to receive $42.25 per common unit in cash without any interest thereon, and all such publicly traded common units were automatically canceled and ceased to exist. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, we paid aggregate merger consideration of $950 million , which was funded with available cash on hand.

Prior to the completion of the Merger Transaction, we consolidated the financial statements of VLP (see Note 8 ) and reflected noncontrolling interests on our balance sheet for the portion of VLP’s partners’ capital held by VLP’s public common unitholders. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, VLP became our indirect wholly owned subsidiary and, as a result, we no longer reflect noncontrolling interests on our balance sheet with respect to VLP. In addition, we no longer attribute a portion of VLP’s net income to noncontrolling interests. Because we had a controlling financial interest in VLP before the Merger Transaction and retained our controlling financial interest in VLP after the Merger Transaction, the change in our ownership interest in VLP as a result of the merger was accounted for as an equity transaction. Accordingly, we did not recognize a gain or loss on the Merger Transaction.

3.	INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following (in millions):



	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Refinery feedstocks	$	2,338	$	2,265
Refined petroleum products and blendstocks	3,572		3,653
Ethanol feedstocks and products	328		298
Renewable diesel feedstocks and products	50		52
Materials and supplies	266		264
Inventories	$	6,554	$	6,532

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the replacement cost (market value) of last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventories exceeded their LIFO carrying amounts by $3.5 billion and $1.5 billion , respectively. Our non-LIFO inventories accounted for $1.1 billion of our total inventories as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .


4.	LEASES

General

We have entered into long-term leasing arrangements for the right to use various classes of underlying assets as follows:


•	Pipelines, Terminals, and Tanks includes facilities and equipment used in the storage, transportation, production, and sale of refinery feedstock, refined petroleum product, and corn inventories;


•	Marine Transportation includes time charters for ocean-going tankers and coastal vessels;


•	Rail Transportation includes railcars and related storage facilities;


•	Feedstock Processing Equipment includes machinery, equipment, and various facilities used in our refining, ethanol, and renewable diesel operations;


•	Energy and Gases includes facilities and equipment related to industrial gases and power used in our operations; and


•	Real Estate includes land and rights-of-way associated with our refineries and pipelines, as well as office facilities.

In addition to fixed lease payments, some arrangements contain provisions for variable lease payments. Certain leases for pipelines, terminals, and tanks provide for variable lease payments based on, among other things, throughput volumes in excess of a base amount. Certain marine transportation leases contain provisions for payments that are contingent on usage. Additionally, if the rental increases are not scheduled in the lease, such as an increase based on subsequent changes in the index or rate, those rents are considered variable lease payments. In all instances, variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

6.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

MVP Terminal

We have a 50 percent membership interest in MVP Terminalling, LLC (MVP), a Delaware limited liability company formed in September 2017 with a subsidiary of Magellan Midstream Partners LP (Magellan), to construct, own, and operate the Magellan Valero Pasadena marine terminal (MVP Terminal) located adjacent to the Houston Ship Channel in Pasadena, Texas. Construction of phases one and two of the project began in 2017 with a total estimated cost of approximately $840 million , of which we have committed to contribute 50 percent (approximately $420 million ). The project could expand up to four phases with a total project cost of approximately $1.4 billion if warranted by additional demand and agreed to by Magellan and us. Since inception, we have contributed $303 million to MVP, of which $56 million was contributed during the three months ended March 31, 2019 .

Concurrent with the formation of MVP, we entered into a terminaling agreement with MVP to utilize the MVP Terminal upon completion of phase two, which is expected to occur in late 2019 . The terminaling agreement has an initial term of 12 years with two five -year automatic renewals, and year-to-year renewals thereafter.

Prior to our adoption of Topic 842 as described in Note 1 , we were considered the accounting owner of the MVP Terminal during the construction period due to our membership interest in MVP and because we determined that the terminaling agreement was a capital lease. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2018, we had recorded an asset of $539 million in property, plant, and equipment representing 100 percent of the construction costs incurred by MVP, as well as capitalized interest incurred by us, and a long-term liability of $292 million payable to Magellan. The amounts recorded for the portion of the construction costs associated with the payable to Magellan were noncash investing and financing items, respectively.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

On January 1, 2019, as a result of our adoption of Topic 842, we derecognized the asset and liability related to MVP discussed above and recorded our equity investment in MVP of $247 million , which is included in “deferred charges and other assets, net.” The amounts derecognized are noncash investing and financing items, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 , our equity investment in MVP was $303 million .

Central Texas Pipeline

We have committed to a 40 percent undivided interest in a project with a subsidiary of Magellan to jointly build an estimated 130 -mile, 20 -inch refined petroleum products pipeline with a capacity of up to 150,000 barrels per day from Houston to Hearne, Texas. The pipeline is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2019. The estimated cost of our 40 percent undivided interest in this pipeline is $170 million . Since inception, expenditures have totaled $81 million , of which $1 million was spent during the three months ended March 31, 2019 .


7.	EQUITY

Share Activity

There was no significant share activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 .

8.	VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Consolidated VIEs

We consolidate a VIE when we have a variable interest in an entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2019 , our significant consolidated VIEs included:


•	DGD, a joint venture with a subsidiary of Darling Ingredients Inc., which owns and operates a biodiesel plant that processes animal fats, used cooking oils, and other vegetable oils into renewable green diesel; and


•	Central Mexico Terminals, which is a collective group of three subsidiaries of Infraestructura Energetica Nova, S.A.B. de C.V. (IEnova), a Mexican company and subsidiary of Sempra Energy, a U.S. public company. We have terminaling agreements with Central Mexico Terminals that represent variable interests. We do not have an ownership interest in Central Mexico Terminals.

The VIEs’ assets can only be used to settle their own obligations and the VIEs’ creditors have no recourse to our assets. We do not provide financial guarantees to our VIEs. Although we have provided credit facilities to some of our VIEs in support of their construction or acquisition activities, these transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows are impacted by our consolidated VIEs’ performance, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in each VIE.

____________________

(a)

Prior to the completion of the Merger Transaction with VLP on January 10, 2019 as discussed in Note 2 , VLP was a publicly traded master limited partnership that we had determined was a VIE. VLP was formed by us to own, operate, develop, and acquire crude oil and refined petroleum products pipelines, terminals, and other transportation and logistics assets. As of December 31, 2018, we owned a 66.2 percent limited partner interest and a 2.0 percent general partner interest in VLP, and public unitholders owned a 31.8 percent limited partner interest. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, VLP became our indirect wholly owned subsidiary and, as a result, was no longer a VIE.

Non-Consolidated VIEs

We hold variable interests in VIEs that have not been consolidated because we are not considered the primary beneficiary. These non-consolidated VIEs are not material to our financial position or results of operations and are primarily accounted for as equity investments. One of our non-consolidated VIEs is MVP, which is described in Note 6 . As of March 31, 2019 , our maximum exposure to loss was $303 million , which represents our equity investment in MVP. We have not provided any financial support to MVP other than amounts previously required by our membership interest.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue is presented in the table below under “Segment Information” disaggregated by product because this is the level of disaggregation that management has determined to be beneficial to users of our financial statements.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Receivables from Contracts with Customers

Our receivables from contracts with customers are included in “receivables, net” and totaled $5.3 billion and $4.7 billion as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

We have spot and term contracts with customers, the majority of which are spot contracts with no remaining performance obligations. We do not disclose remaining performance obligations for contracts that have terms of one year or less. The transaction price for our remaining term contracts includes a fixed component and variable consideration (i.e., a commodity price), both of which are allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good that forms part of a single performance obligation. The fixed component is not material and the variable consideration is highly uncertain. Therefore, as of March 31, 2019 , we have not disclosed the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to our remaining performance obligations.

Segment Information

Effective January 1, 2019, we revised our reportable segments to align with certain changes in how our chief operating decision maker manages and allocates resources to our business. Accordingly, we created a new reportable segment — renewable diesel — because of the growing importance of renewable fuels in the market and the growth of our investments in renewable fuels production. The renewable diesel segment includes the operations of DGD, which were transferred from the refining segment on January 1, 2019. Also effective January 1, 2019, we no longer have a VLP segment, and we include the operations of VLP in our refining segment. This change was made because of the Merger Transaction with VLP, as described in Note 2 , and the resulting change in how we manage VLP’s operations. We no longer manage VLP as a business but as logistics assets that support the operations of our refining segment. Our prior period segment information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect our current segment presentation.

We have three reportable segments – refining, ethanol, and renewable diesel. Each segment is a strategic business unit that offers different products and services by employing unique technologies and marketing strategies and whose operations and operating performance are managed and evaluated separately. Operating performance is measured based on the operating income generated by the segment, which includes revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to the management of the respective segment. Intersegment sales are generally derived from transactions made at prevailing market rates. The following is a description of each segment’s business operations.


•	The refining segment includes the operations of our 15 petroleum refineries, the associated marketing activities, and logistics assets that support our refining operations. The principal products manufactured by our refineries and sold by this segment include gasolines and blendstocks, distillates, and other products.

•

The ethanol segment includes the operations of our 14 ethanol plants, the associated marketing activities, and logistics assets that support our ethanol operations. The principal products manufactured by our ethanol plants are ethanol and distillers grains. This segment sells some ethanol to the refining segment for blending into gasoline, which is sold to that segment’s customers as a finished gasoline product.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


•	The renewable diesel segment includes the operations of DGD, our consolidated joint venture as discussed in Note 8 . The principal product manufactured by DGD and sold by this segment is renewable diesel. This segment sells some renewable diesel to the refining segment, which is then sold to that segment’s customers.

Operations that are not included in any of the reportable segments are included in the corporate category.

The following tables reflect information about our operating income by reportable segment (in millions):

A description of our assets and liabilities recognized at fair value along with the valuation methods and inputs we used to develop their fair value measurements are as follows:

•

Commodity derivative contracts consist primarily of exchange-traded futures, which are used to reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows as discussed in Note 14 . These contracts are measured at fair value using the market approach. Exchange-traded futures are valued based on quoted prices from the commodity exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.


•	Physical purchase contracts represent the fair value of fixed-price corn purchase contracts. The fair values of these purchase contracts are measured using a market approach based on quoted prices from the commodity exchange or an independent pricing service and are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

•

Investments of certain benefit plans consist of investment securities held by trusts for the purpose of satisfying a portion of our obligations under certain U.S. nonqualified benefit plans. The plan assets categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from national securities exchanges. The plan assets categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy represent insurance contracts, the fair value of which is provided by the insurer.

Table of Contents

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

•

Foreign currency contracts consist of foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts and foreign currency swap agreements related to our international operations to manage our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than the local (functional) currencies of our operations. These contracts are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

•

Environmental credit obligations represent our liability for the purchase of (i) biofuel credits (primarily Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) in the U.S.) needed to satisfy our obligation to blend biofuels into the products we produce and (ii) emission credits under the California Global Warming Solutions Act (the California cap-and-trade system, also known as AB 32) and similar programs (collectively, the cap-and-trade systems). To the degree we are unable to blend biofuels (such as ethanol and biodiesel) at percentages required under the biofuel programs, we must purchase biofuel credits to comply with these programs. Under the cap-and-trade systems, we must purchase emission credits to comply with these systems. The liability for environmental credits is based on our deficit for such credits as of the balance sheet date, if any, after considering any credits acquired or under contract, and is equal to the product of the credits deficit and the market price of these credits as of the balance sheet date. The environmental credit obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using the market approach based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 for assets and liabilities held as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

There was no significant activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 related to the fair value amounts categorized in Level 3 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

There were no assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

Other Financial Instruments

Financial instruments that we recognize in our balance sheets at their carrying amounts are shown in the following table along with their associated fair values (in millions):

14.	PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

General

We are exposed to market risks primarily related to the volatility in the price of commodities, foreign currency exchange rates, and the price of credits needed to comply with various government and regulatory programs. We enter into derivative instruments to manage some of these risks, including derivative instruments related to the various commodities we purchase or produce, and foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts, as described below under “Risk Management Activities by Type of Risk.” These derivative instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values (see Note 13 ), as summarized below under “Fair Values of Derivative Instruments,” with changes in fair value recognized currently in income. The effect of these derivative instruments on our income is summarized below under “Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income.”

Risk Management Activities by Type of Risk

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of crude oil, refined petroleum products (primarily gasoline and distillate), grain (primarily corn), soybean oil, and natural gas used in our operations. To reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows, we use commodity derivative instruments, such as futures and options. Our positions in commodity derivative instruments are monitored and managed on a daily basis by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy that has been approved by our board of directors.

We primarily use commodity derivative instruments as economic hedges, which are not designated as hedging instruments, and we use fair value and cash flow hedges from time to time. We had no commodity derivative instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 , and no activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 that were designated as fair value or cash flow hedges.

Our objectives for holding economic hedges are to (i) manage price volatility in certain feedstock and refined petroleum product inventories and fixed-price purchase contracts, and (ii) lock in the price of forecasted feedstock, refined petroleum product, or natural gas purchases and refined petroleum product sales at existing market prices that we deem favorable.

Table of Contents

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

As of March 31, 2019 , we had the following outstanding commodity derivative instruments that were used as economic hedges, as well as commodity derivative instruments related to the physical purchase of corn at a fixed price. The information presents the notional volume of outstanding contracts by type of instrument and year of maturity (volumes in thousands of barrels, except corn contracts that are presented in thousands of bushels).



	Notional Contract Volumes by Year of Maturity
Derivative Instrument	2019	2020
Crude oil and refined petroleum products:
Futures – long	123,087	3,856
Futures – short	130,923	5,456
Options – long	21,000	—
Options – short	21,000	—
Corn:
Futures – long	19,005	1,275
Futures – short	43,770	3,515
Physical contracts – long	23,726	2,238

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions related to our international operations that are denominated in currencies other than the local (functional) currencies of our operations. To manage our exposure to these exchange rate fluctuations, we use foreign currency contracts. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and therefore are classified as economic hedges. As of March 31, 2019 , we had foreign currency contracts to purchase $418 million of U.S. dollars, $1.7 billion of U.S. dollar equivalent Canadian dollars, and $300 million of U.S. dollar equivalent pounds sterling. The majority of these commitments matured on or before April 30, 2019 .

Environmental Compliance Program Price Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. To manage this risk, we enter into contracts to purchase these credits when prices are deemed favorable. Some of these contracts are derivative instruments; however, we elect the normal purchase exception and do not record these contracts at their fair values. Certain of these programs require us to blend biofuels into the products we produce, and we are subject to such programs in most of the countries in which we operate. These countries set annual quotas for the percentage of biofuels that must be blended into the motor fuels consumed in these countries. As a producer of motor fuels from petroleum, we are obligated to blend biofuels into the products we produce at a rate that is at least equal to the applicable quota. To the degree we are unable to blend at the applicable rate, we must purchase biofuel credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.). We are exposed to the volatility in the market price of these credits, and we manage that risk by purchasing biofuel credits when prices are deemed favorable. The cost of meeting our obligations under these compliance programs was $91 million and $206 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. These amounts are reflected in cost of materials and other.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

The following tables provide information about the fair values of our derivative instruments as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in millions) and the line items in the balance sheets in which the fair values are reflected. See Note 13 for additional information related to the fair values of our derivative instruments.

As indicated in Note 13 , we net fair value amounts recognized for multiple similar derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements, including cash collateral assets and obligations. The following tables, however, are presented on a gross asset and gross liability basis, which results in the reflection of certain assets in liability accounts and certain liabilities in asset accounts.

Total		$	641	$	599	$	2,796	$	2,687

Market Risk

Our price risk management activities involve the receipt or payment of fixed price commitments into the future. These transactions give rise to market risk, which is the risk that future changes in market conditions may make an instrument less valuable. We closely monitor and manage our exposure to market risk on a daily basis in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. Market risks are monitored by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

This Form 10-Q, including without limitation our disclosures below under the heading “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK , ” includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify our forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “scheduled,” “estimate,” “project,” “projection,” “predict,” “budget,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “target,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “will,” “may,” and similar expressions.

These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding:


•	future refining segment margins, including gasoline and distillate margins;


•	future ethanol segment margins;


•	future renewable diesel segment margins;


•	expectations regarding feedstock costs, including crude oil differentials, and operating expenses;


•	anticipated levels of crude oil and refined petroleum product inventories;


•	our anticipated level of capital investments, including deferred costs for refinery turnarounds and catalyst, capital expenditures for environmental and other purposes, and joint venture investments, and the effect of those capital investments on our results of operations;


•	anticipated trends in the supply of and demand for crude oil and other feedstocks and refined petroleum products in the regions where we operate, as well as globally;


•	expectations regarding environmental, tax, and other regulatory initiatives; and


•	the effect of general economic and other conditions on refining, ethanol, and renewable diesel industry fundamentals.

We based our forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates, and projections about ourselves and our industry. We caution that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that we cannot predict. In addition, we based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from the future performance that we have expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. Differences between actual results and any future performance suggested in these forward-looking statements could result from a variety of factors, including the following:


•	acts of terrorism aimed at either our facilities or other facilities that could impair our ability to produce or transport refined petroleum products or receive feedstocks;


•	political and economic conditions in nations that produce crude oil or consume refined petroleum products;


•	demand for, and supplies of, refined petroleum products (such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and petrochemicals), ethanol, and renewable diesel;


•	demand for, and supplies of, crude oil and other feedstocks;


•	the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree on and to maintain crude oil price and production controls;


•	the level of consumer demand, including seasonal fluctuations;


•	refinery overcapacity or undercapacity;


•	our ability to successfully integrate any acquired businesses into our operations;

Table of Contents


•	the actions taken by competitors, including both pricing and adjustments to refining capacity in response to market conditions;


•	the level of competitors’ imports into markets that we supply;


•	accidents, unscheduled shutdowns, or other catastrophes affecting our refineries, machinery, pipelines, equipment, and information systems, or those of our suppliers or customers;


•	changes in the cost or availability of transportation for feedstocks and refined petroleum products;


•	the price, availability, and acceptance of alternative fuels and alternative-fuel vehicles;


•	the levels of government subsidies for alternative fuels;


•	the volatility in the market price of biofuel credits (primarily RINs needed to comply with the U.S. federal Renewable Fuel Standard) and GHG emission credits needed to comply with the requirements of various GHG emission programs;


•	delay of, cancellation of, or failure to implement planned capital projects and realize the various assumptions and benefits projected for such projects or cost overruns in constructing such planned capital projects;


•	earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and irregular weather, which can unforeseeably affect the price or availability of natural gas, crude oil, grain and other feedstocks, refined petroleum products, ethanol, and renewable diesel;


•	rulings, judgments, or settlements in litigation or other legal or regulatory matters, including unexpected environmental remediation costs, in excess of any reserves or insurance coverage;


•	legislative or regulatory action, including the introduction or enactment of legislation or rulemakings by governmental authorities, including tariffs and tax and environmental regulations, such as those implemented under the California cap-and-trade system (also known as AB 32) and similar programs, and the U.S. EPA’s regulation of GHGs, which may adversely affect our business or operations;


•	changes in the credit ratings assigned to our debt securities and trade credit;


•	changes in currency exchange rates, including the value of the Canadian dollar, the pound sterling, the euro, the Mexican peso, and the Peruvian sol relative to the U.S. dollar;


•	overall economic conditions, including the stability and liquidity of financial markets; and


•	other factors generally described in the “Risk Factors” section included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 that is incorporated by reference herein.

Any one of these factors, or a combination of these factors, could materially affect our future results of operations and whether any forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be accurate. Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results and future performance may differ materially from those suggested in any forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update these statements unless we are required by the securities laws to do so.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to any such forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

This Form 10-Q includes references to financial measures that are not defined under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted net income attributable to Valero stockholders, adjusted operating income (including adjusted operating income for each of our reportable segments, as applicable), and refining, ethanol, and renewable diesel segment margin. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures to help facilitate the comparison of operating results between periods. See the accompanying financial tables in “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” and note (c) to the accompanying tables for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Also in note (c),

Table of Contents

we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Overview

For the first quarter of 2019 , we reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $141 million compared to $469 million for the first quarter of 2018 , which represents a decrease of $328 million . This decrease is primarily due to a $415 million decrease in net income, partially offset by an $87 million decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. The decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is primarily due to the recognition of a blender’s tax credit in the first quarter of 2018 of which $80 million is attributable to the holder of the noncontrolling interest, as described in note (a) to the accompanying tables. The decrease in net income was primarily driven by a decrease in operating income between the periods, net of the resulting decrease in income tax expense, as described below.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2019 was $308 million compared to $801 million for the first quarter of 2018 , which represents a decrease of $493 million . Excluding the adjustments to operating income reflected in the tables on page 47 , adjusted operating income decreased $383 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 .

The $383 million decrease in adjusted operating income is primarily due to the following:


•	Refining segment. Refining segment adjusted operating income decreased by $330 million primarily due to lower gasoline margins, partially offset by higher crude oil discounts and lower cost of biofuel credits. This is more fully described on pages 53 through 55 .


•	Ethanol segment. Ethanol segment operating income decreased by $42 million primarily due to lower ethanol prices coupled with higher corn prices. This is more fully described on pages 55 and 56 .


•	Renewable diesel segment. Renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income increased by $14 million primarily due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by hedge losses on commodity derivative instruments associated with our price risk management activities and lower co-product prices. This is more fully described on page 56 .


•	Corporate and eliminations. Adjusted corporate and eliminations increased by $25 million primarily due to expenses in the first quarter of 2019 associated with the Merger Transaction with VLP, an increase in legal reserves, and higher employee related expenses. This is more fully described on page 57 .

Outlook

Below are several factors that have impacted or may impact our results of operations during the second quarter of 2019 :


•	Gasoline margins are expected to improve as demand strengthens with the upcoming summer driving season. Distillate margins are expected to remain near current levels.


•	Medium and heavy sour crude oil discounts are expected to remain weaker than their five-year averages as supplies of sour crude oils available in the market remain suppressed.

Table of Contents

•

Sweet crude oil discounts are expected to narrow slightly as U.S. Gulf Coast refiners increase sweet crude oil consumption to offset the loss of medium and heavy sour crude oil supply while export demand for sweet crude oil remains strong. Inland sweet crude oil differentials are expected to remain wide with higher production and limited pipeline capacity to transport crude oil out of the Permian Basin and other producing regions; however, these differentials will likely experience increased volatility as the announced start-up or potential delay of new pipeline capacity influences short-term market dynamics.


•	Ethanol margins are expected to improve as domestic gasoline demand strengthens.


•	Renewable diesel margins are expected to remain consistent with current levels.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following tables highlight our results of operations, our operating performance, and market reference prices that directly impact our operations. In addition, these tables include financial measures that are not defined under U.S. GAAP and represent non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and include adjusted net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders, adjusted operating income (including adjusted operating income for each of our reportable segments, as applicable), and refining, ethanol, and renewable diesel segment margin. In note (c) to these tables, we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information.

Effective January 1, 2019, we revised our reportable segments to align with certain changes in how our chief operating decision maker manages and allocates resources to our business. Accordingly, we created a new reportable segment — renewable diesel — because of the growing importance of renewable fuels in the market and the growth of our investments in renewable fuels production. The renewable diesel segment includes the operations of DGD, which were transferred from the refining segment on January 1, 2019. Also effective January 1, 2019, we no longer have a VLP segment, and we include the operations of VLP in our refining segment. This change was made because of the Merger Transaction with VLP, as described in Note 2 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and the resulting change in how we manage VLP’s operations. We no longer manage VLP as a business but as logistics assets that support the operations of our refining segment. Our prior period segment information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect our current segment presentation.

The following notes relate to references on pages 45 through 49 .

(a)

Cost of materials and other for the three months ended March 31, 2018 includes a benefit of $170 million for the biodiesel blender’s tax credit attributable to volumes blended during 2017. The benefit was recognized in February 2018 because the U.S. legislation authorizing the credit was passed and signed into law in that month. Of the $170 million pre-tax benefit, $10 million and $160 million are included in our refining and renewable diesel segments, respectively, and consequently, $80 million is attributable to noncontrolling interest and $90 million is attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders.


(b)	General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 includes a charge of $52 million for an environmental reserve adjustment associated with certain non-operating sites.


(c)	We use certain financial measures (as noted below) that are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are considered to be non-GAAP measures.

We have defined these non-GAAP measures and believe they are useful to the external users of our financial statements, including industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We believe these measures are useful to assess our ongoing financial performance because, when reconciled to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures, they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and that may obscure our underlying business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures nor should they be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define them differently, which diminishes their utility.

Non-GAAP measures are as follows:

◦

Adjusted net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders is defined as net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders excluding the items noted below, along with their related income tax effect. We have excluded these items because we believe that they are not indicative of our core operating performance and that their exclusion results in an important measure of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our underlying business results and trends. The basis for our belief with respect to each excluded item is provided below.


▪	2017 blender’s tax credit attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders – The blender’s

Table of Contents

tax credit is attributable to volumes blended during 2017 and is not related to 2018 activities, see note (a).


▪	Environmental reserve adjustment – The environmental reserve adjustment is attributable to sites that were shut down by prior owners and subsequently acquired by us (referred to by us as non-operating sites), see note (b).


◦	Refining margin is defined as refining operating income excluding the 2017 blender’s tax credit (see note (a)), operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating expenses, as reflected below.


◦	Ethanol margin is defined as ethanol operating income excluding operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and depreciation and amortization expense, as reflected below.


◦	Renewable diesel margin is defined as renewable diesel operating income excluding the 2017 blender’s tax credit (see note (a)), operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), and depreciation and amortization expense, as reflected below.

Table of Contents


(e)	Valero uses certain operating statistics (as noted below) to evaluate performance between comparable periods. Different companies may calculate them in different ways.

Refining segment margin per barrel of throughput and adjusted refining segment operating income per barrel of throughput represents refining segment margin and adjusted refining segment operating income (each as defined in note (c) above) divided by throughput volumes. Ethanol segment margin per gallon of production and ethanol segment operating income per gallon of production represent ethanol segment margin (as defined in note (c) above) and ethanol segment operating income divided by production volumes. Renewable diesel segment margin per gallon of sales and adjusted renewable diesel segment operating income per gallon of sales represent renewable diesel segment margin and adjusted renewable diesel segment operating income (each as defined in note (c) above) divided by sales volumes.

Throughput, production, and sales volumes are calculated by multiplying throughput, production, and sales volumes per day (as provided in the accompanying tables) by the number of days in the applicable period. We use throughput volumes, production volumes, and sales volumes for the refining segment, ethanol segment, and renewable diesel segment, respectively, due to their general use by others who operate facilities similar to those included in our segments. We believe the use of such volumes results in per unit amounts that are most representative of the product margins generated and the operating costs incurred as a result of our operation of those facilities.

Total Company, Corporate, and Other

Revenues decreased $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to decreases in refined petroleum product prices associated with sales made by our refining segment. This decline in revenues was partially offset by lower cost of sales of $1.6 billion primarily due to decreases in crude oil and other feedstock costs and a decrease of $29 million in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), resulting in a decrease in operating income of $493 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 .

Excluding the adjustments to operating income reflected in the tables on page 47 , adjusted operating income decreased by $383 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 . Details regarding the $383 million decrease in adjusted operating income between the periods are discussed by segment below.

“Other income, net” decreased $29 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to foreign currency transaction losses of $13 million and lower interest income of $7 million.

Income tax expense decreased $98 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily as a result of lower income before income tax expense. Our effective tax rate was 23 percent for the first quarter of 2019 compared to 20 percent for the first quarter of 2018 . Excluding the tax benefit related to the 2017 blender’s tax credit recognized in early 2018, the effective tax rate was 22 percent for the first quarter of 2018 .

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased $87 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to the recognition of a blender’s tax credit in the first quarter of 2018 of which $80 million is attributable to the holder of the noncontrolling interest, as described in note (a) to the accompanying tables.

Refining Segment Results

Refining segment revenues decreased $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to decreases in refined petroleum product prices. This decline in refining segment revenues was partially offset by lower cost of sales of $1.9 billion due primarily to decreases in crude oil and other feedstock costs, resulting in a decrease in refining segment operating income of $332 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 .

Table of Contents

Excluding the adjustments to refining segment operating income reflected in the tables on page 47 , refining segment adjusted operating income decreased $330 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 . The components of this decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in these components, are outlined below.

Refining segment margin, as defined in note (c) to the accompanying tables, decreased $228 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to the following:

•

Decrease in gasoline margins. We experienced a decrease in gasoline margins throughout all our regions during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 . For example, the Brent-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. Gulf Coast CBOB gasoline was $0.16 per barrel for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $7.28 per barrel for the first quarter of 2018 , representing an unfavorable decrease of $7.12 per barrel. Another example is the Brent-based benchmark reference margin for North Atlantic CBOB gasoline, which was $1.25 per barrel for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $8.88 per barrel for the first quarter of 2018 , representing an unfavorable decrease of $7.63 per barrel. We estimate that the decrease in gasoline margins per barrel in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $762 million.

•

Lower discounts on other feedstocks . In addition to crude oil, we utilize other feedstocks, such as natural gas and residuals, in certain of our refining processes. We benefit when we process these other feedstocks that are priced at a discount to Brent crude oil. While we benefitted from processing these types of feedstocks during the first three months of 2019 , that benefit declined compared to the first three months of 2018 . We estimate that the reduction in the discounts for the other feedstocks that we processed during the first three months of 2019 had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $69 million.


•	Lower throughput volumes. Refining throughput volumes decreased by 66,000 BPD in the first quarter of 2019 . We estimate that the decrease in refining throughput volumes had an unfavorable impact on our refining segment margin of approximately $51 million.

•

Higher discounts on crude oils. The market prices for refined petroleum products generally track the price of Brent crude oil, which is a benchmark crude oil, and we benefit when we process crude oils that are priced at a discount to Brent crude oil. We benefitted from processing these types of crude oils during the first quarter of 2019 and that benefit improved compared to the first quarter of 2018 . For example, WTI crude oil, a light sweet crude oil, sold at an $8.94 per barrel discount to Brent crude oil for the first quarter of 2019 compared to a $4.29 per barrel discount for the first quarter of 2018 , representing a favorable increase of $4.65 per barrel. We estimate that the increase in the discounts for the crude oils we processed during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 had a favorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $430 million.

•

Lower costs of biofuel credits. As described in Note 14 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we purchase biofuel credits in order to meet our biofuel blending obligation under various government and regulatory compliance programs. The cost of these credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.) was $91 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $206 million in the first quarter of 2018 , a decrease of $115 million.


•	Increase in distillate margins. We experienced an increase in distillate margins during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 . For example, the Brent-based benchmark reference

Table of Contents

margin for U.S. Gulf Coast ULS diesel was $14.99 per barrel for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $13.78 per barrel for the first quarter of 2018 , representing a favorable increase of $1.21 per barrel. Another example is the WTI-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. Mid-Continent ULS diesel which was $24.89 per barrel for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $19.83 per barrel for the first quarter of 2018 , representing a favorable increase of $5.06 per barrel. We estimate that the increase in distillate margins per barrel in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 had a favorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $91 million.

Refining segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased $60 million primarily due to an increase in maintenance expenditures of $27 million and an environmental reserve adjustment of $4 million in the first quarter of 2019 , along with a sales and use tax refund of $7 million and a favorable property tax settlement of $6 million received in the first quarter of 2018 .

Refining segment depreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased $42 million primarily due to an increase in refinery turnaround and catalyst amortization expense of $27 million and an increase in depreciation expense associated with capital projects completed in 2018 of $8 million.

Ethanol Segment Results

Ethanol segment revenues decreased $78 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to a decrease in ethanol prices, partially offset by the revenue contribution associated with three ethanol plants acquired from Green Plains Inc. (Green Plains) on November 15, 2018. This decline in ethanol segment revenue was partially offset by lower cost of sales of $36 million, r esulting in a decrease in ethanol segment operating income of $42 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 . The components of this decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in these components, are outlined below.

Ethanol segment margin, as defined in note (c) to the accompanying tables, decreased $23 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to the following:

•

Lower ethanol prices . Ethanol prices were lower in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to an increase in domestic ethanol production. For example, the NYH ethanol price was $1.44 per gallon for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $1.52 per gallon for the first quarter of 2018 , representing an unfavorable decrease of $0.08 per gallon. We estimate that the decrease in the price of ethanol had an unfavorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of approximately $17 million.

•

Higher corn prices . Corn prices were higher in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 . For example, the CBOT corn price was $3.73 per bushel for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $3.66 per bushel for the first quarter of 2018 , representing an unfavorable increase of $0.07 per bushel. We estimate that the increase in the price of corn had an unfavorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of approximately $4 million.

Ethanol segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased $14 million primarily due to costs to operate the three plants acquired from Green Plains in November 2018 of $24 million, partially offset by lower chemicals and catalyst expenses of $5 million, and lower maintenance expenses of $3 million.

Table of Contents

Ethanol segment depreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased $5 million primarily due to depreciation expense associated with the three plants acquired from Green Plains in November 2018.

Renewable Diesel Segment Results

Renewable diesel segment revenues increased $153 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to an increase in renewable diesel sales volumes. This improvement in renewable diesel segment revenues was outweighed by higher cost of sales of $299 million primarily due to the benefit of $160 million related to the 2017 blender’s tax credit recognized in the first quarter of 2018 , as described in note (a) to the accompanying tables, and incremental costs attributable to the expanded production capacity of the plant, resulting in a decrease in renewable diesel segment operating income of $146 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 .

Excluding the 2017 blender’s tax credit recognized in the first quarter of 2018 reflected in the table on page 47 , renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income increased $14 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 . The components of this increase, along with the reasons for the changes in these components, are outlined below.

Renewable diesel segment margin, as defined in note (c) to the accompanying tables, increased $24 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to the following:

•

Higher sales volumes. Renewable diesel segment margin was favorably impacted by increased sales volumes of 419,000 gallons per day in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to the additional production capacity resulting from the expansion of the DGD plant in the third quarter of 2018. We estimate that the increase in sales volumes had a favorable impact to our renewable diesel segment margin of approximately $60 million.


•	Price risk management activities. We recognized a hedge loss of $26 million in the first quarter of 2019 from commodity derivative instruments associated with our price risk management activities compared to a gain of $1 million in the first quarter of 2018 , representing an unfavorable impact to our renewable diesel segment margin of $27 million.

•

Lower co-product prices. We produce a variety of co-products, such as naphtha and pentane, and the prices we receive are influenced by natural gasoline prices. Natural gasoline prices were lower in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 due to a decrease in demand, resulting in an unfavorable decrease in the prices we received for the co-products we produced. We estimate that the decrease in co-product prices had an unfavorable impact to our renewable diesel segment margin of approximately $7 million.

Renewable diesel segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased $5 million, which is attributable to the increase in the production of renewable diesel in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 resulting from the expansion of the DGD plant in the third quarter of 2018.

Renewable diesel segment depreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased $5 million primarily due to depreciation expense associated with the expansion of the DGD plant in the third quarter of 2018.

Corporate and Eliminations

Corporate and eliminations, which consists primarily of general and administrative expenses and related depreciation and amortization expense, decreased by $27 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 . Excluding the environmental reserve adjustment of $52 million in the first quarter of 2018 reflected in the table on page 47 , adjusted corporate and eliminations increased by $25 million primarily due to expenses in the first quarter of 2019 associated with the Merger Transaction with VLP of $7 million, which is more fully described in Note 2 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, an increase in legal reserves of $7 million, and higher employee related expenses of $6 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

We believe that we have sufficient funds from operations and from borrowings under our credit facilities to fund our ongoing operating requirements and other commitments. We expect that, to the extent necessary, we can raise additional funds from time to time through equity or debt financings in the public and private capital markets or the arrangement of additional credit facilities. However, there can be no assurances regarding the availability of any future financings or additional credit facilities or whether such financings or additional credit facilities can be made available on terms that are acceptable to us.

Our liquidity consisted of the following as of March 31, 2019 (in millions):



Available borrowing capacity from committed facilities:
Valero Revolver	$	3,945
Canadian Revolver	109
Accounts receivable sales facility	1,200
Letter of credit facility	100
Total available borrowing capacity	5,354
Cash and cash equivalents ^(a)	2,670
Total liquidity	$	8,024

___________________


(a)	Excludes $107 million of cash and cash equivalents related to our VIEs that is available for use only by our VIEs.

Information about our outstanding borrowings, letters of credit issued, and availability under our credit facilities is reflected in Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(205	)	$	(1,192	)

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Our operations generated $877 million of cash in the first three months of 2019 , driven primarily by net income of $167 million , noncash charges to income of $529 million , and a positive change in working capital of $130 million . Noncash charges included $551 million of depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a $22 million deferred income tax benefit. See “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for further discussion of our operations. The change in our working capital is detailed in Note 12 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The source of cash resulting from the $130 million change in working capital was mainly due to:


•	an increase in accounts payable due to an increase in commodity prices combined with an increase in crude oil volumes purchased and the timing of payments of invoices; partially offset by


•	an increase in receivables resulting from an increase in commodity prices combined with an increase in sales volumes;


•	a decrease in taxes other than income taxes payable mainly due to the payment of value-added and ad valorem taxes; and


•	a decrease in accrued expenses mainly due to the payment of our annual incentive compensation related to 2018.

The $877 million of cash generated by our operations, along with (i) $1.9 billion in proceeds from debt issuances and borrowings and $23 million in proceeds from borrowings of certain VIEs (as discussed in Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and (ii) $205 million from available cash on hand, were used mainly to:


•	fund $726 million in capital investments, which include capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst costs, and investments in joint ventures;


•	fund $19 million of capital expenditures of certain VIEs;


•	make payments on debt and finance lease obligations of $907 million , primarily related to the repayment of $900 million on borrowings under our accounts receivable sales facility;


•	purchase common stock for treasury of $36 million ;


•	pay common stock dividends of $375 million ; and


•	acquire all of the outstanding publicly held common units of VLP for $950 million .

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Our operations generated $138 million of cash in the first three months of 2018 , driven primarily by net income of $582 million , noncash charges to income of $500 million, partially offset by a negative change

Table of Contents

in working capital of $1.1 billion. Noncash charges included $498 million of depreciation and amortization expense and $2 million of deferred income tax expense. See “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for further discussion of our operations. The change in our working capital is detailed in Note 12 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The use of cash resulting from the $1.1 billion change in working capital was mainly due to:


•	a decrease in accounts payable primarily as a result of the timing of payments of invoices;


•	a decrease in income taxes payable resulting from the January 2018 payment of our fourth quarter 2017 estimated taxes that were previously deferred, as allowed by tax relief authorization from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS);


•	a decrease in accrued expenses mainly due to the payment of our annual incentive compensation related to 2017;


•	a decrease in taxes other than income taxes payable mainly due to the payment of excise and ad valorem taxes; and


•	an increase in inventory, mainly due to an increase in commodity prices; partially offset by


•	a decrease in receivables primarily as a result of the timing of collections of receivables.

The $138 million of cash generated by our operations, along with (i) $498 million in proceeds from the issuance of VLP’s 4.5 percent Senior Notes (that were available only to the operations of VLP, as discussed in Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and (ii) $1.2 billion from available cash on hand, were used mainly to:


•	fund $631 million in capital investments, which include capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst costs, and investments in joint ventures;


•	acquire undivided interests in pipeline and terminal assets for $85 million ;


•	make payments on debt and finance lease obligations of $415 million , of which $410 million related to the repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the VLP Revolver;


•	purchase common stock for treasury of $320 million ; and


•	pay common stock dividends of $345 million .

Capital Investments

As previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , we expect to incur approximately $2.5 billion for capital investments during 2019 and also 2020. Capital investments include capital expenditures, turnaround and catalyst costs, and investments in joint ventures. Capital expenditures include the capital expenditures of our consolidated subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs in which we hold an ownership interest. Our capital investments consist of approximately 60 percent for sustaining capital and 40 percent for growth strategies. This capital investment estimate excludes potential strategic acquisitions, including acquisitions of undivided interests. We continuously evaluate our capital budget and make changes as conditions warrant.

In addition to our capital investments noted above, we separately reflect in our statements of cash flows the capital expenditures of certain VIEs that we consolidate even though we do not hold an ownership interest in them. These expenditures are not included in our $2.5 billion estimate of capital investments for 2019 or 2020. See Note 8 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our VIEs.

Other Matters Impacting Liquidity and Capital Resources

Stock Purchase Program

On January 23, 2018 , our board of directors authorized our purchase of up to an additional $2.5 billion of our outstanding common stock (the 2018 program) with no expiration date. As of March 31, 2019 , we had

Table of Contents

$2.2 billion remaining available for purchase under the 2018 Program. We have no obligation to make purchases under this program.

Pension Plan Funding

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to extensive environmental regulations by governmental authorities relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, waste management, pollution prevention measures, GHG emissions, and characteristics and composition of gasolines and distillates. Because environmental laws and regulations are becoming more complex and stringent and new environmental laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed, the level of future expenditures required for environmental matters could increase in the future. In addition, any major upgrades in any of our operating facilities could require material additional expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations.

Tax Matters

The IRS has ongoing audits related to our U.S. federal income tax returns from 2012 through 2015. During the first quarter of 2019, we settled the combined audit related to our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2010 and 2011 and will receive a refund of $320 million, plus interest, associated with this audit. We did not have a significant change to our uncertain tax positions upon the settlement of the 2010 and 2011 combined audit. We believe that the ultimate settlement of our 2012 through 2015 audits will not be material to our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Cash Held by Our International Subsidiaries

As of December 31, 2017, the accumulated earnings and profits of our international subsidiaries not previously distributed were included in our computation of the one-time deemed repatriation tax liability associated with the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Reform). Because of the deemed repatriation of these accumulated earnings and profits, there are no longer any U.S. federal income tax consequences associated with the repatriation of any of the $1.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents held by our international subsidiaries as of March 31, 2019 . However, certain countries in which our international subsidiaries are organized impose withholding taxes on cash distributed outside of those countries. We have accrued for withholding taxes on the portion of the cash held by one of our international subsidiaries that we have deemed not to be permanently reinvested in our operations in that country. The remaining cash held by that subsidiary, as well as our other international subsidiaries, will be permanently reinvested in our operations in those countries.

Concentration of Customers

Our operations have a concentration of customers in the refining industry and customers who are refined petroleum product wholesalers and retailers. These concentrations of customers may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. However, we believe that our portfolio of accounts receivable is sufficiently diversified to the extent necessary to minimize potential credit risk. Historically, we have not had any significant problems collecting our accounts receivable.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

As of March 31, 2019 , our contractual obligations included debt, finance lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations, and other long-term liabilities. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business with respect to our contractual obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2019 . However, in the ordinary course of business, we had various debt-related activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and in April 2019 as described in Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our debt and financing agreements do not have rating agency triggers that would automatically require us to post additional collateral. However, in the event of certain downgrades of our senior unsecured debt by the ratings agencies, the cost of borrowings under some of our bank credit facilities and other arrangements would increase. As of March 31, 2019 , all of our ratings on our senior unsecured debt, including debt guaranteed by us, are at or above investment grade level as follows:



Rating Agency		Rating
Moody’s Investors Service		Baa2 (stable outlook)
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services		BBB (stable outlook)
Fitch Ratings		BBB (stable outlook)

We cannot provide assurance that these ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or that one or more of these ratings will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency. We note that these credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell, or hold our securities. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Any future reduction below investment grade or withdrawal of one or more of our credit ratings could have a material adverse impact on our ability to obtain short- and long-term financing and the cost of such financings.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As of March 31, 2019 , there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies that involved critical accounting estimates since the date our annual report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2018 was filed.

(b)	As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had an interest rate swap associated with $39 million and $40 million, respectively, of our floating rate debt resulting in an effective interest rate of 3.85 percent as of each of those reporting dates. The fair value of the swap was immaterial for all periods presented.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

As of March 31, 2019 , we had foreign currency contracts to purchase $418 million of U.S. dollars, $1.7 billion of U.S. dollar equivalent Canadian dollars, and $300 million of U.S. dollar equivalent pounds sterling. Our market risk was minimal on these contracts, as the majority of them matured on or before April 30, 2019 .

ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information below describes new proceedings or material developments in proceedings that we previously reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .

Environmental Enforcement Matters

While it is not possible to predict the outcome of the following environmental proceedings, if any one or more of them were decided against us, we believe that there would be no material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. We are reporting these proceedings to comply with SEC regulations, which require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state, or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or protecting the environment if we reasonably believe that such proceedings will result in monetary sanctions of $100,000 or more.

Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and Solano County Department of Resource Management Certified Unified Program Agency (Solano County) (Benicia Refinery). We have received multiple Violation Notices (VNs) issued by the BAAQMD related to an upset of the Flue Gas Scrubber (FGS) at our Benicia Refinery. In the aggregate, we reasonably believe penalties for these VNs may be in excess of $100,000. We are working with the BAAQMD to resolve these VNs. We have also received a draft Consent Order (Docket AEO-2019-103) from Solano County related to the FGS incident. The draft Consent Order assesses proposed penalties of $242,840. We are working with Solano County to resolve this matter.

BAAQMD (Benicia Refinery). In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, we reported that we had multiple outstanding VNs issued by the BAAQMD. These VNs are for various alleged air regulation and air permit violations at our Benicia Refinery and asphalt plant. We continue to work with the BAAQMD to resolve these VNs.

Attorney General of the State of Texas (Texas AG) (Corpus Christi Asphalt Plant). We have received a letter and draft Agreed Final Judgment from the Texas AG related to a contaminated water backflow incident that occurred at the Valero Corpus Christi Asphalt Plant.
