VLP Valero Energy Partners LP Common Units Representing Limited Partner Interests

Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO) (“Valero”) today reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $548 million, or $1.23 per share, for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $814 million, or $1.73 per share, for the second quarter of 2016.  Second quarter 2016 adjusted net income attributable to Valero stockholders was $503 million, or $1.07 per share. 

“With continued focus on safe and reliable operations, we delivered another quarter of solid operating and financial performance,” said Joe Gorder, Valero Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We’re encouraged by resilient product demand and the bullish trend in product inventory draws.” 

RefiningThe refining segment reported $959 million of operating income for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $1.3 billion for the second quarter of 2016.  Second quarter 2017 operating income was in line with second quarter 2016 adjusted operating income of $902 million.  The 2016 refining segment results have been retrospectively revised to reflect the operating results of Valero Energy Partners LP (NYSE:VLP) as a separate segment consistent with Valero’s current segment presentation, and those revised results have been adjusted to exclude the lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment and asset impairment loss, as shown in the accompanying earnings release tables.    

Refinery throughput capacity utilization was 96 percent, despite an external power failure at the Benicia refinery that caused an abrupt shutdown and unplanned maintenance.  Throughput volumes averaged 3.0 million barrels per day in the second quarter of 2017, which was 192,000 barrels per day higher than the second quarter of 2016.

The company exported a total of 369,000 barrels per day of gasoline and diesel during the second quarter. 

Biofuel blending costs were $255 million in the second quarter of 2017, which was $82 million higher than the second quarter of 2016, mainly due to higher Renewable Identification Number (RIN) expenses.

EthanolThe ethanol segment reported $31 million of operating income for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $69 million for the second quarter of 2016.  Adjusted operating income for the second quarter of 2016 was $49 million.  The decrease in operating income in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter 2016 adjusted amount is attributed primarily to higher energy costs and strong industry ethanol production that pressured margins.  Ethanol production volumes averaged 3.8 million gallons per day in the second quarter of 2017, which was in line with the second quarter of 2016. 

VLPThe VLP segment reported $71 million of operating income for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $52 million for the second quarter of 2016.  The increase in operating income was driven primarily by contributions from the Meraux and Three Rivers terminals, which were acquired subsequent to the second quarter of last year, and the Red River pipeline segment, which was acquired in January 2017.

Corporate and OtherGeneral and administrative expenses were $178 million in the second quarter of 2017.  The effective tax rate of 26 percent in the second quarter of 2017 was lower than expected due primarily to the favorable resolution of an income tax audit.

Investing and Financing ActivitiesCapital investments totaled $461 million in the second quarter of 2017, of which $63 million was for turnarounds and catalyst.  

Valero paid $312 million in dividends and purchased 5.4 million shares of its common stock for $346 million, resulting in total cash returned to stockholders of $658 million in the second quarter of 2017.  The company continues to target a total payout ratio of at least 75 percent in 2017.  Valero defines total payout ratio as the sum of dividends and stock buybacks divided by adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Valero stockholders. 

The company generated $1.8 billion of cash from operating activities in the second quarter of 2017, of which approximately $700 million was due to changes in working capital. 

Liquidity and Financial PositionValero ended the second quarter of 2017 with $8.5 billion of total debt and $5.2 billion of cash and temporary cash investments. The debt to capital ratio, net of $2.0 billion in cash, was 24 percent. 

Strategic UpdateValero continues to target $2.7 billion of total capital investments this year, consisting of $1.1 billion for growth projects and $1.6 billion for sustaining the business. 

“We’re pleased with the progress we’ve made on our growth investments this year,” Gorder commented.  “Before year-end, we expect to see the Wilmington cogeneration plant running and to have oil flowing through the Diamond Pipeline.” 

Valero expects the Diamond Green Diesel capacity expansion and the Houston alkylation unit construction to be completed in the first half of 2018 and 2019, respectively. 

Conference CallValero’s senior management will hold a conference call at 10 a.m. ET today to discuss this earnings release and to provide an update on operations and strategy.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES

(a) During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a change in our lower of cost or market inventory valuation reserve that was established on December 31, 2015, resulting in a noncash benefit of $454 million ($434 million and $20 million attributable to our refining and ethanol segments, respectively). During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a change in our lower of cost or market inventory valuation reserve that resulted in a noncash benefit of $747 million ($697 million and $50 million attributable to our refining and ethanol segments, respectively). 

(b) In June 2016, we recognized an asset impairment loss of $56 million representing all of the remaining carrying value of the long-lived assets of our crude oil and refined product terminal and transshipment facility in Aruba.

(c) Effective January 1, 2017, 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 — VLP. The results of the VLP segment, which include the results of our majority-owned master limited partnership referred to by the same name, were transferred from the refining segment. Comparable prior period information for our refining segment (as well as that segment’s U.S. Gulf Coast and Mid-Continent regions) and VLP segment has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect our current segment presentation.

(d) We use certain financial measures (as noted below) in the earnings release tables and accompanying earnings release that are not defined under United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (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 lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment, its related income tax effect, and the asset impairment loss.
• Adjusted earnings per common share – assuming dilution is defined as adjusted net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders divided by the number of weighted average shares outstanding in the applicable period, assuming dilution.
• Gross margin is defined as operating income excluding the lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment, operating expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, and the asset impairment loss.
• Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income excluding the lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment and the asset impairment loss.

(e) The refining segment regions reflected herein contain the following refineries: U.S. Gulf Coast- Corpus Christi East, Corpus Christi West, Houston, Meraux, Port Arthur, St. Charles, Texas City, and Three Rivers Refineries; U.S. Mid-Continent- Ardmore, McKee, and Memphis Refineries; North Atlantic- Pembroke and Quebec City Refineries; and U.S. West Coast- Benicia and Wilmington Refineries.

(f) Primarily includes petrochemicals, gas oils, No. 6 fuel oil, petroleum coke, sulfur, and asphalt.

(g) Throughput margin per barrel represents gross margin (defined in (d) above) for our refining segment or refining segment regions divided by the respective throughput volumes. Gross margin per gallon of production represents gross margin (defined in (d) above) for our ethanol segment divided by production volumes. Pipeline transportation revenue per barrel and terminaling revenue per barrel represents pipeline transportation revenue and terminaling revenue for our VLP segment divided by pipeline transportation throughput and terminaling throughput volumes, respectively. Throughput and production volumes are calculated by multiplying throughput and production volumes per day (as provided in the accompanying tables) by the number of days in the applicable period.

(h) Adjusted operating income per barrel represents adjusted operating income (defined in (d) above) for our refining segment or refining segment regions divided by the respective throughput volumes. Adjusted operating income per gallon of production represents adjusted operating income (defined in (d) above) for our ethanol segment divided by production volumes. Throughput and production volumes are calculated by multiplying throughput and production volumes per day (as provided in the accompanying tables) by the number of days in the applicable period.

(i) Average market reference price differentials to Mars crude oil have been replaced by average market reference price differentials to Argus Sour Crude Index (ASCI) crude oil. Mars crude oil is one of the three grades of sour crude oil used to create ASCI crude oil, and therefore, ASCI crude oil is a more comprehensive price marker for medium sour crude oil. Accordingly, the price differentials for ASCI crude oil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are included to conform to the current presentation.
