CVR Energy Reports 2017 Third Quarter Results And Announces Cash Dividend of 50 Cents


SUGAR LAND, Texas, Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CVI) today announced third quarter 2017 net income of $22.2 million, or 26 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1,453.8 million, compared to net income of $5.4 million, or 6 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1,240.3 million for the 2016 third quarter. Third quarter 2017 adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $90.9 million, compared to third quarter 2016 adjusted EBITDA of $58.2 million.

For the first nine months of 2017, net income was $33.9 million, or 39 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $4,395.3 million, compared to net income of $17.6 million, or 20 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $3,429.0 million for the same period a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2017 was $209.0 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $158.8 million for the first nine months of 2016.

"CVR Refining had a solid third quarter led by strong crack spreads and improved market conditions," said Jack Lipinski, CVR Energy's chief executive officer. "CVR Refining announced a 2017 third quarter cash distribution of 94 cents due to the exceptional performance of its Coffeyville, Kansas, refinery. CVR Refining's Wynnewood, Oklahoma, refinery began planned fall maintenance at the end of September and is on schedule to complete its turnaround in early November. The large scale and cost of the Wynnewood turnaround will negatively impact its results for the year.

"CVR Partners successfully completed the scheduled turnaround at its East Dubuque, Illinois, fertilizer facility on time and within budget during the 2017 third quarter," Lipinski said. "However, CVR Partners' results were negatively impacted by continued low U.S. nitrogen fertilizer pricing and unplanned downtime at both the East Dubuque and Coffeyville fertilizer facilities related to maintenance issues. As a result, CVR Partners announced that it will not pay a cash distribution for the quarter."

Petroleum Business

The petroleum business, which is operated by CVR Refining and includes the Coffeyville and Wynnewood refineries, reported third quarter 2017 operating income of $98.7 million on net sales of $1,385.8 million, compared to operating income of $28.4 million on net sales of $1,163.5 million in the third quarter of 2016.

Refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact per crude oil throughput barrel, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $13.72 in the 2017 third quarter, compared to $10.09 during the same period in 2016. Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), including major scheduled turnaround expenses, per crude oil throughput barrel, for the 2017 third quarter were $6.47, compared to $5.33 in the third quarter of 2016.

Third quarter 2017 throughputs of crude oil and all other feedstocks and blendstocks totaled 213,606 barrels per day (bpd), compared to third quarter 2016 throughputs of crude oil and all other feedstocks and blendstocks of 206,733 bpd.

Nitrogen Fertilizers Business

The fertilizer business, which is operated by CVR Partners and includes the Coffeyville and East Dubuque fertilizer facilities, reported a third quarter 2017 operating loss of $15.9 million on net sales of $69.4 million, compared to operating income of $2.4 million on net sales of $78.5 million for the third quarter of 2016. 

For the third quarter of 2017, consolidated average realized gate prices for UAN and ammonia were $138 per ton and $214 per ton, respectively. Consolidated average realized gate prices for UAN and ammonia were $154 per ton and $345 per ton, respectively, for the same period in 2016.

CVR Partners' fertilizer facilities produced a combined 180,700 tons of ammonia during the third quarter of 2017, of which 46,200 net tons were available for sale while the rest was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 306,600 tons of UAN. In the 2016 third quarter, the fertilizer facilities produced 200,800 tons of ammonia, of which 60,300 net tons were available for sale while the remainder was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 317,200 tons of UAN.

Cash, Debt and Dividend

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents was $849.1 million at Sept. 30, 2017. Consolidated total debt was $1,166.1 million at Sept. 30, 2017. The company had no debt exclusive of CVR Refining's and CVR Partners' debt.

CVR Energy also announced a third quarter 2017 cash dividend of 50 cents per share. The dividend, as declared by CVR Energy's Board of Directors, will be paid on Nov. 17, 2017, to stockholders of record on Nov. 10, 2017. CVR Energy's third quarter cash dividend brings the cumulative cash dividends paid or declared for the first nine months of 2017 to $1.50 per share.

Today, CVR Refining announced a 2017 third quarter cash distribution of 94 cents per common unit. CVR Partners announced that it will not pay a cash distribution for the 2017 third quarter.

(1)

Product pricing at gate represents net sales less freight revenue divided by product sales volume in tons and is shown in order to provide a pricing measure that is comparable across the fertilizer industry.



(2)

Gross tons produced for ammonia represent total ammonia produced, including ammonia produced that was upgraded into other fertilizer products. Net tons available for sale represent the ammonia available for sale that was not upgraded into other fertilizer products.



(3)

The cost per MMBtu excludes derivative activity, when applicable.  The impact of natural gas derivative activity during the periods presented was not material.



(4)

On-stream factor is the total number of hours operated divided by the total number of hours in the reporting period and is included as a measure of operating efficiency.




Coffeyville Facility
The Linde air separation unit experienced a shut down during the second quarter of 2017. Following the Linde outage, the Coffeyville Facility UAN unit experienced a number of operational challenges, resulting in approximately 11 days of UAN downtime during the second quarter of 2017. Excluding the impact of the Linde air separation unit outage at the Coffeyville Facility, the UAN unit on-stream factors at the Coffeyville Facility would have been 96.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.




East Dubuque Facility
Excluding the impact of approximately 14 days of downtime associated with the 2017 full facility turnaround at the East Dubuque Facility, the on-stream factors at the East Dubuque Facility would have been 91.3% for ammonia and 91.8% for UAN for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 96.9% for ammonia and 96.4% for UAN for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.




Excluding the impact of approximately 28 days of downtime associated with the 2016 full facility turnaround at the East Dubuque Facility, the on-stream factors at the East Dubuque Facility would have been 97.2% for ammonia and 96.2% for UAN for the six months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our actual results in accordance with GAAP for the applicable periods, we also use the non-GAAP financial measures noted above, which are reconciled to our GAAP-based results below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative for GAAP results. The adjustments are provided to enhance an overall understanding of our financial performance for the applicable periods and are indicators management believes are relevant and useful for planning and forecasting future periods.

Adjusted net income (loss) is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be substituted for net income (loss) as a measure of our performance but rather should be utilized as a supplemental measure of financial performance in evaluating our business. Management believes that adjusted net income (loss) provides relevant and useful information that enables external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in the review of our overall financial, operational and economic performance. Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share represents adjusted net income (loss) divided by weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted net income (loss) represents net income (loss), as adjusted, that is attributable to CVR Energy stockholders.

Refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel is a measurement calculated as the difference between the Petroleum segment's net sales and cost of materials and other. Refining margin is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is important to investors in evaluating the refineries' performance as a general indication of the amount above their cost of materials and other at which they are able to sell refined products. Each of the components used in this calculation (net sales and cost of materials and other) can be taken directly from our Petroleum segment's Statements of Operations. Our calculation of refining margin may differ from similar calculations of other companies in the industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In order to derive the refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel, we utilize the total dollar figures for refining margin as derived above and divide by the applicable number of crude oil throughput barrels for the period. We believe that refining margin is important to enable investors to better understand and evaluate the Petroleum segment's ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in the review of our overall financial, operational and economic performance.

Refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel adjusted for FIFO impact is a measurement calculated as the difference between the Petroleum segment's net sales and cost of materials and other adjusted for FIFO impact. Refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is important to investors in evaluating the refineries' performance as a general indication of the amount above their cost of materials and other (taking into account the impact of the utilization of FIFO) at which they are able to sell refined products. Our calculation of refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact may differ from calculations of other companies in the industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Under the FIFO accounting method, changes in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in a favorable FIFO impact when crude oil prices increase and an unfavorable FIFO impact when crude oil prices decrease.

The calculation of refining margin and refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact (each a non-GAAP financial measure), including a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.  EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to CVR Energy stockholders before consolidated (i) interest expense and other financing costs, net of interest income, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), and (iii) depreciation and amortization, less the portion of these adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for, as applicable, consolidated (i) FIFO impact (favorable) unfavorable; (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iii) major scheduled turnaround expenses (that many of our competitors capitalize and thereby exclude from their measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA); (iv) (gain) loss on derivatives, net; (v) current period settlements on derivative contracts; (vi) business interruption insurance recovery and (vii) expenses associated with the East Dubuque Merger, less the portion of these adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be substituted for net income (loss) or cash flow from operations. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA enable investors to better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in reviewing our overall financial, operational and economic performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA represent EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA that is attributable to CVR Energy stockholders.

A reconciliation of net income attributable to CVR Energy stockholders to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA by operating segment represents net income (loss) before (i) interest expense and other financing costs, net of interest income, (ii) income tax expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment represents EBITDA by operating segment adjusted for, as applicable (i) FIFO impact (favorable) unfavorable; (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iii) major scheduled turnaround expenses (that many of our competitors capitalize and thereby exclude from their measures of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA); (iv) (gain) loss on derivatives, net; (v) current period settlements on derivative contracts; (vi) expenses associated with the East Dubuque Merger  and (vii) business interruption insurance recovery, less the portion of these adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest. We present Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment because it is the starting point for CVR Refining's and CVR Partners' calculation of available cash for distribution. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be substituted for net income (loss) as a measure of performance. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment enable investors to better understand CVR Refining's and CVR Partners' ability to make distributions to their common unitholders, help investors evaluate our ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in reviewing our overall financial, operational and economic performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently.

Derivatives Summary. The Petroleum segment enters into commodity swap contracts through crack spread swap agreements with financial counterparties to fix the spread risk between the refineries' crude oil purchases and the refined products the refineries produce for sale. Through these swaps, the Petroleum segment will sell a fixed differential for the value between the selected refined product benchmark and the benchmark crude oil price, thereby locking in a margin for a portion of the refineries' production. The physical volumes are not exchanged and these contracts are net settled with cash. From time to time, the Petroleum segment holds various NYMEX positions through a third-party clearing house.

The table below summarizes the Petroleum segment's open commodity swap positions as of September 30, 2017. The positions are primarily in the form of crack spread swap agreements with financial counterparties, wherein the Petroleum segment has locked in differentials at the fixed prices noted below. As of September 30, 2017, the open commodity swap positions for 2017 and 2018 were comprised of approximately 39.8% for 2-1-1 crack swaps, 30.1% for distillate crack swaps and 30.1% for gasoline crack swaps.
