Insights

The Q3 2024 results show significant challenges with a $100.6 million net loss ($1.18 per share), compared to a $99.8 million profit in Q3 2023. Adjusted EBITDA declined to $49.8 million from $75.4 million year-over-year. However, there are positive developments:

  • The $1.44 billion DOE loan commitment for Montana Renewables expansion could significantly boost SAF production capacity to 300 million gallons
  • Successful conversion from MLP to C-Corp structure, potentially improving corporate governance and investor access
  • Record production levels in Specialties business and SAF production

The Montana/Renewables segment showed weakness with Adjusted EBITDA dropping to $12.7 million from $38.2 million, though operational improvements are ongoing. The planned November turnaround could impact Q4 results.

The DOE loan commitment marks a strategic pivot toward renewable fuels, positioning Calumet as a potential leader in the SAF market. The planned expansion would make Montana Renewables one of the largest global SAF producers, with combined SAF and renewable diesel capacity reaching 330 million gallons. Key operational developments include:

  • Implementation of second renewable fuels reactor by 2026
  • Infrastructure improvements including renewable hydrogen production
  • Addition of cogeneration capabilities
  • Enhanced water treatment facilities

The timing of the catalyst change during margin uncertainty shows strategic planning, aligning with the transition from blenders tax credit to production tax credit.

  • Third quarter 2024 net loss of $100.6 million, or basic loss per common share of $1.18 per share
  • Third quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $49.8 million
  • Montana Renewables ("MRL") set another new SAF production volume record
  • Specialties business posted highest production levels in over five years
  • Montana Renewables announced conditional commitment of $1.44 billion Department of Energy ("DOE") loan
  • Successfully completed conversion from a Master Limited Partnership ("MLP") to a C-Corp

"Calumet continues to execute on our strategic catalysts as planned," said Todd Borgmann, CEO. "We started the quarter with the conversion of Calumet's structure from a MLP to a C-Corp, and in October we announced the conditional commitment of a $1.44 billion DOE loan guarantee. We remain confident and on-track to close the DOE loan as previously disclosed."

"Further, we are pleased to report significant progress towards fortifying our operations, with our specialties business achieving a new production record and Montana Renewables reaching a new SAF production high.  These new operational milestones and continued execution against our strategic initiatives support our relentless focus on driving shareholder value."  

"Last, as we've previously expressed, we would like to thank the DOE, and we are thrilled to continue forward on the leading edge of our nation's Sustainable Aviation Fuel opportunity.  Innovation is at the heart of what we do at Calumet, and we are honored that Montana Renewables can help solidify our nation's position as a global leader in one of energy's fastest growing markets."

Specialty Products and Solutions (SPS): The SPS segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $42.6 million during the third quarter of 2024 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $38.6 million for the same quarter a year ago.  Segment results reflected strong operations, which overcame previously announced downtime in July from Hurricane Beryl.

Performance Brands (PB):  The PB segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $13.6 million during the third quarter of 2024 versus Adjusted EBITDA of $13.2 million in the third quarter of 2023, benefitting from 19 percent growth in year-over-year volumes.

Montana/Renewables (MR): The MR segment reported $12.7 million of Adjusted EBITDA during the third quarter of 2024 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $38.2 million in the prior year period.  Third quarter results reflect improved operating results, higher volumes from our renewables business, and a new high point for SAF production. Our specialty asphalt plant posted lower results as fuel spreads tightened. As previously announced, the Great Falls facility is conducting a planned turnaround in November to change catalyst.  This timing allows completion prior to the winter season and was planned to coincide with a period of margin uncertainty as the blenders tax credit is expected to change to the production tax credit.

Corporate: Total corporate costs represent $(19.1) million of Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2024. This compares to $(14.6) million of Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter 2023.

Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. Completes Conversion to C-Corporation: As previously announced, Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. completed the previously announced conversion (the "Conversion") of its structure from an MLP to a C-Corporation, pursuant to which the unitholders of Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") became shareholders of Calumet, Inc. As previously announced, at the Partnership's special meeting of unitholders held on July 9, 2024, over 99% of the votes cast on the Conversion proposal were cast in favor of the approval of the Conversion. The Partnership's unitholders also voted to approve all other proposals presented at the special meeting.

Montana Renewables Receives $1.44 Billion Conditional Commitment from DOE for Renewable Fuels and Biomass Energy Facility

Calumet announced on October 16, 2024, that the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") Loan Program Office ("LPO") has awarded a conditional commitment for a loan guarantee of up to $1.44 billion to fund the construction and expansion of a renewable fuels facility owned by Montana Renewables. 

The expansion would position Montana Renewables as one of the largest Sustainable Aviation Fuel ("SAF") producers globally with production capacity of approximately 300 million gallons of SAF and 330 million gallons of combined SAF and renewable diesel. 

MRL expects to execute a sequence of discrete individual projects including: a second renewable fuels reactor (allowing approximately half of the 300 million gallon SAF capability to be online by 2026); debottlenecking of the existing renewable fuels and feedstock pretreatment units; installation of SAF blending and logistics assets; increased renewable hydrogen production; addition of cogeneration for renewable electricity and steam; on-site water treatment and recycling capabilities; and other site enhancements.   As previously disclosed, while this conditional commitment represents a significant milestone and demonstrates DOE's intent to finance the project, certain technical, legal, environmental and financial conditions, including negotiation of definitive financing documents, must be satisfied before funding of the loan guarantee. Further details on this announcement can be found in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 22, 2024.

Operations Summary

The following table sets forth information about the Partnership's continuing operations. Facility production volume differs from sales volume due to changes in inventories and the sale of purchased blendstocks such as ethanol and specialty blendstocks, as well as the resale of crude oil.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law. Certain public statements made by us and our representatives on the date hereof may also contain forward-looking statements, which are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance measures to analyze operating segment performance and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These financial and operational non-GAAP measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include performance measures along with certain key operating metrics.

We use the following financial performance measures:

EBITDA: We define EBITDA for any period as net income (loss) plus interest expense (including amortization of debt issuance costs), income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Historically, we considered net income (loss) to be the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA. We believe net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA for any period as: EBITDA adjusted for (a) impairment; (b) unrealized gains and losses from mark to market accounting for hedging activities; (c) realized gains and losses under derivative instruments excluded from the determination of net income (loss); (d) non-cash equity-based compensation expense and other non-cash items (excluding items such as accruals of cash expenses in a future period or amortization of a prepaid cash expense) that were deducted in computing net income (loss); (e) debt refinancing fees, extinguishment costs, premiums and penalties; (f) any net gain or loss realized in connection with an asset sale that was deducted in computing net income (loss); (g) amortization of turnaround costs; (h) LCM inventory adjustments; (i) the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method; (j) RINs mark-to-market adjustments; and (k) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of gain or loss, or revenue or expense.

Specialty Products and Solutions segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Specialty Products and Solutions segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin for any period as Specialty Products and Solutions segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by Specialty Products and Solutions segment sales.

Specialty Products and Solutions segment Adjusted gross profit (loss): We define Specialty Products and Solutions segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) for any period as Specialty Products and Solutions segment gross profit (loss) excluding the impact of (a) LCM inventory adjustments; (b) the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method; (c) RINs mark-to-market adjustments; (d) depreciation and amortization; and (e) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of revenue or cost of sales.

Performance Brands segment Adjusted gross profit (loss): We define Performance Brands segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) for any period as Performance Brands segment gross profit (loss) excluding the impact of (a) LCM inventory adjustments; (b) the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method; (c) RINs mark-to-market adjustments; (d) depreciation and amortization; and (e) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of revenue or cost of sales.

Montana/Renewables segment Adjusted gross profit (loss): We define Montana/Renewables segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) for any period as Montana/Renewables segment gross profit (loss) excluding the impact of (a) LCM inventory adjustments; (b) the impact of liquidation of inventory layers calculated using the LIFO method; (c) RINs mark-to-market adjustments; (d) depreciation and amortization; and (e) all extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items of revenue or cost of sales.

The definition of Adjusted EBITDA that is presented in this press release is similar to the calculation of (i) "Consolidated Cash Flow" contained in the indentures governing our 11.00% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"), our 8.125% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes"), our 9.75% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"), and our 9.25% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Secured Notes") and (ii) "Consolidated EBITDA" contained in the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility. We are required to report Consolidated Cash Flow to the holders of our 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes, 2028 Notes, and 2029 Secured Notes and Consolidated EBITDA to the lenders under our revolving credit facility, and these measures are used by them to determine our compliance with certain covenants governing those debt instruments. Please see our filings with the SEC, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K, for additional details regarding the covenants governing our debt instruments.

These non-GAAP measures are used as supplemental financial measures by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess:

  • the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
  • the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs and support our indebtedness;
  • our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing or capital structure;
  • the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities; and
  • our operating performance excluding the non-cash impact of LCM and LIFO inventory adjustments, RINs mark-to-market adjustments, and depreciation and amortization.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to analysts and investors, as they exclude transactions not related to our core cash operating activities and provide metrics to analyze our ability to fund our capital requirements and to pay interest on our debt obligations. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully analyze trends and performance of our core cash operations.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) should not be considered alternatives to Net income (loss), Operating income (loss), Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, gross profit (loss) or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating our performance as measured by EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) management recognizes and considers the limitations of these measurements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our liabilities for the payment of income taxes, interest expense or other obligations such as capital expenditures. Accordingly, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) are only a few of several measurements that management utilizes. Moreover, our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) in the same manner. Please see the section of this release entitled "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" for tables that present reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net income (loss), our most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure; and segment Adjusted gross profit (loss) to segment gross profit (loss), our most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure.
