PARSIPPANY, N.J., Feb. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PBF Energy Inc. (NYSE:PBF) today reported fourth quarter 2021 income from operations of $291.1 million as compared to loss from operations of $328.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding special items, fourth quarter 2021 income from operations was $294.5 million as compared to loss from operations of $499.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. PBF Energy's financial results reflect the consolidation of PBF Logistics LP (NYSE: PBFX), a master limited partnership of which PBF indirectly owns the general partner and approximately 47.9% of the limited partner interests as of December 31, 2021.

The company reported fourth quarter 2021 net income of $189.1 million and net income attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $165.3 million or $1.36 per share. This compares to a net loss of $286.0 million, and net loss attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $298.4 million or $(2.49) per share for the fourth quarter of 2020. Special items in the fourth quarter 2021 results, which increased net income by a net, after-tax benefit of $9.8 million, or $0.08 per share, primarily consisted of a net tax benefit on the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets, a gain on the extinguishment of debt related to the repurchase of a portion of our outstanding unsecured notes, and a gain on the sale of land at PBF Logistics LP, partially offset by charges related to a change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and a change in the fair value of contingent consideration. Adjusted fully-converted net income for the fourth quarter 2021, excluding special items, was $156.8 million, or $1.28 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis, as described below, compared to an adjusted fully-converted net loss of $547.4 million or $(4.53) per share, for the fourth quarter 2020.

Tom Nimbley, PBF Energy's Chairman and CEO, said, "In looking at our refining system in 2021, it was a year of two halves. Our first half results were impaired by the delayed recovery from the pandemic but we made the transition to positive cash flow in the second half of 2021 as the recovery took hold. Our employees, contractors and business partners operated under enormous pressure during these challenging times, and their commitment allowed PBF to operate safely and reliably through the worst of the pandemic. Our results for the fourth quarter, and second half of 2021, reflect the improving market conditions and the resilience of our assets."

Mr. Nimbley concluded, "Looking ahead, demand is continuing to grow and return to pre-pandemic levels. Global inventories are tight across the board for crude and products. The current backdrop for refining in 2022 and beyond, especially domestic refining, is looking favorable."

Income from operations was $597.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to loss from operations of $1,416.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Excluding special items, loss from operations was $42.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to loss from operations of $1,441.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Adjusted fully-converted net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021, excluding special items, was $302.3 million, or $(2.50) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis, as compared to an adjusted fully-converted net loss, excluding special items, of $1,421.7 million, or $(11.78) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Financial Position

As of December 31, 2021, our operational liquidity was more than $2.4 billion based on approximately $1.3 billion of cash and more than $1.1 billion of borrowing availability under our asset-based lending facility. In addition, PBF Logistics LP liquidity included $33.9 million in cash and approximately $396.5 million of availability under its revolving credit facility.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the company repurchased a combined total principal amount of approximately $229.0 million of its 2028 6.00% Senior Notes and 2025 7.25% Senior Notes for an aggregate cash amount of approximately $146.8 million. Combined with the $100.0 million of debt repayments made by PBF Logistics LP and repayment of a rail related term loan, consolidated debt for PBF was reduced by more than $335.0 million. 

Strategic Update and Outlook

We remain focused on enhancing the profitability and reliability of our core operations. While our refining capital expenditures in 2022 are increased over 2021, we continue to focus on capital discipline, with turnaround and other mandatory spend accounting for over 96% of the total planned refining capital expenses for 2022. Consistent with our prior year approach, we will be responsive with regards to the pace of capital expenditures and scope of turnarounds depending on market conditions. Our annual maintenance, environmental, regulatory and safety capital expenditures are consistently in the $150 to $200 million range. For the first half of 2022, we expect to incur turnaround-related capital expenditures of approximately $200 to $225 million.

PBF recognizes the value of diversifying our income streams and we are progressing our project for a renewable fuels production facility co-located at the Chalmette refinery. The project incorporates certain idled assets, including an idle hydrocracker, along with a newly-constructed pre-treatment unit to establish a 20,000 barrel per day renewable diesel production facility. We have been advancing this project for more than a year and to date have focused on completing engineering, permitting, securing longer-lead time equipment and commencing initial site preparations with the goal of being in production in the first half of 2023. Concurrent with our activities to progress the project, we are continuing discussions with potential strategic and financial partners.

EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES

FOOTNOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES

(1) Adjusted fully-converted information is presented in this table as management believes that these Non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare our results across the periods presented and facilitates an understanding of our operating results. We also use these measures to evaluate our operating performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The differences between adjusted fully-converted and GAAP results are explained in footnotes 2 through 6.

(2) Represents the elimination of the noncontrolling interest associated with the ownership by the members of PBF Energy Company LLC ("PBF LLC") other than PBF Energy Inc., as if such members had fully exchanged their PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy's Class A common stock.

(3) Represents an adjustment to reflect PBF Energy's annualized statutory corporate tax rate of approximately 25.9% and 26.6% for the 2021 and 2020 periods, respectively, applied to net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest for all periods presented. The adjustment assumes the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in footnote 2.

(4) The Non-GAAP measures presented include adjusted fully-converted net income (loss) excluding special items, income (loss) from operations excluding special items, EBITDA excluding special items and gross refining margin excluding special items. Special items for the periods presented relate to LCM inventory adjustments, change in fair value of contingent consideration, gain on sale of hydrogen plants, gain on land sales, impairment expense, LIFO inventory decrement, turnaround acceleration costs, severance and reconfiguration costs, early railcar return expense, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, net tax (benefit) expense on remeasurement of deferred tax assets, and recomputed income tax on special items, all as discussed further below. Additionally, the cumulative effects of all current and prior period special items on equity are shown in footnote 13.  Although we believe that Non-GAAP financial measures excluding the impact of special items provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the results and performance of our business and allow for useful period-over-period comparisons, such Non-GAAP measures should only be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Special Items:  LCM inventory adjustment - LCM is a GAAP requirement related to inventory valuation that mandates inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or market. Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using last-in, first-out ("LIFO") inventory valuation methodology, in which the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost of sales and inventories are valued at base layer acquisition costs. Market is determined based on an assessment of the current estimated replacement cost and net realizable selling price of the inventory. In periods where the market price of our inventory declines substantially, cost values of inventory may exceed market values. In such instances, we record an adjustment to write down the value of inventory to market value in accordance with GAAP. In subsequent periods, the value of inventory is reassessed and an LCM inventory adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between the prior period and the current period.

The following table includes the LCM inventory reserve as of each date presented (in millions):

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration - During the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded changes in fair value of contingent consideration related to estimated earn-out liabilities associated with the acquisition of the Martinez refinery and the PBFX acquisition of the East Coast Storage Assets. These changes in estimate decreased income from operations by $6.2 million and $32.4 million ($4.6 million and $24.0 million, net of tax), respectively. Change in fair value of contingent consideration during the three months and year ended December 31, 2020 increased income from operations by $0.2 million and $93.7 million ($0.1 million and $68.8 million, net of tax), respectively.

Gain on sale of Hydrogen Plants - During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a gain on the sale of five hydrogen plants. The gain increased income from operations and net income by $471.1 million and $345.8 million, respectively. There were no such gains in any other periods presented.

Gain on land sales - During the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a gain on the sale of PBFX real-property at the East Coast Terminals. The gain increased income from operations and net income by $2.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a gain on the sale of a separate parcel of real property acquired as part of the Torrance refinery, but not part of the refinery itself. The gain increased income from operations and net income by $8.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively.

Impairment expense - During the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an impairment charge which decreased income from operations by $91.8 million and $98.8 million ($67.4 million and $72.5 million, net of tax), respectively, resulting from the write-down of certain assets associated with the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, project abandonments and the write-down of certain PBFX long-lived assets. There were no such charges during the three months and year ended December 31, 2021.

LIFO inventory decrement- As part of our overall reduction in throughput in 2020 and our reduction in inventory volume as of December 31, 2020, we recorded a pre-tax charge to cost of materials and other related to a LIFO inventory layer decrement. The majority of the decrement related to our East Coast LIFO inventory layer and the reduction to our East Coast inventory experienced as part of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration. These charges decreased income from operations and net income by $83.0 million and $60.9 million, respectively, for both the three months ended and the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no such decrements recorded in the three months and year ended December 31, 2021.

Turnaround acceleration costs- During the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, we accelerated the recognition of turnaround amortization associated with units that were temporarily idled as part of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration. These costs decreased income from operations and net income by $56.2 million and $41.3 million, respectively. There were no such costs in the three months and year ended December 31, 2021.

Severance and Reconfiguration Costs - During the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded severance charges related to reductions in our workforce. These charges decreased income from operations by $11.8 million and $24.7 million ($8.7 million and $18.1 million, net of tax), respectively. There were no such costs in the three months and year ended December 31, 2021. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded reconfiguration charges related to the temporary idling of certain assets as part of the East Coast Refining System. These charges decreased income from operations and net income by $5.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively. There were no such costs in the three months and year ended December 31, 2021.

Early Return of Railcars- During the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized expenses within Cost of sales associated with the voluntary early return of certain leased railcars. These charges decreased income from operations and net income by $12.5 million and $9.2 million, respectively. There were no such costs in the three months and year ended December 31, 2021.

(Gain) Loss on Extinguishment of Debt - During the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded pre-tax gains on the extinguishment of debt related to repurchases of the 2028 Senior Notes and 2025 Senior Notes. These nonrecurring charges increased income before income taxes by $19.6 million and $79.9 million ($14.5 million and $59.2 million, net of tax), respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a pre-tax loss on the extinguishment of debt of $22.2 million ($16.3 million net of tax) related to the repurchase of the 2023 Senior Notes.

Change in Tax Receivable Agreement liability - During the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability that decreased income before income taxes and net income by $48.3 million and $35.8 million, respectively.

The changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability reflect charges or benefits attributable to changes in PBF Energy's obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement due to factors out of our control such as changes in tax rates, as well as periodic adjustments to our liability based, in part, on an updated estimate of the amounts that we expect to pay, using assumptions consistent with those used in our concurrent estimate of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

Net tax (benefit) expense on remeasurement of deferred tax assets - During the three months ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a decrease to the deferred tax valuation allowance of $46.1 million, which includes a tax benefit of approximately $12.5 million related to our net change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and a net tax benefit of $33.6 million related primarily to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets). During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a decrease to the deferred tax valuation allowance of $49.9 million, which includes a tax benefit of approximately $12.5 million related to our net change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and a net tax benefit of $37.4 million related primarily to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets). During the three months ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a deferred tax valuation allowance of $12.1 million. This amount includes tax expense of approximately $35.3 million related to our net change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability or a net tax benefit of $23.2 million related primarily to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a deferred tax valuation allowance of $358.4 million. This amount includes tax expense of approximately $99.3 million related to our net change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability or a net tax expense of $259.1 million related primarily to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets. The deferred tax valuation allowance is recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.

Recomputed Income tax on special items - The income tax impact on special items was calculated using the tax rates shown in footnote 3 above.

(5) Represents an adjustment to weighted-average diluted shares outstanding to assume the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in footnote 2 above.

(6) Represents weighted-average diluted shares outstanding assuming the conversion of all common stock equivalents, including options and warrants for PBF LLC Series A Units and performance share units and options for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock as calculated under the treasury stock method (to the extent the impact of such exchange would not be anti-dilutive) for the three months and years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share units and options and warrants to purchase 12,560,868 and 12,568,275 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share units and options and warrants to purchase 14,468,284 and 14,446,894 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. For periods showing a net loss, all common stock equivalents and unvested restricted stock are considered anti-dilutive.

(7) EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before adjustments for items such as stock-based compensation expense, the non-cash change in the fair value of catalyst obligations, gain on sale of hydrogen plants, the write down of inventory to the LCM, severance and one-time reconfiguration costs, changes in the liability for Tax Receivable Agreement due to factors out of our control such as changes in tax rates, debt extinguishment costs related to refinancing activities, and certain other non-cash items. We use these Non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to our GAAP results in order to provide additional metrics on factors and trends affecting our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures of operating performance that are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have their limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

(8) We operate in two reportable segments: Refining and Logistics. Our operations that are not included in the Refining and Logistics segments are included in Corporate. As of December 31, 2021, the Refining segment includes the operations of our oil refineries and related facilities in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Martinez, California. The Logistics segment includes the operations of PBF Logistics LP ("PBFX"), a growth-oriented master limited partnership which owns or leases, operates, develops and acquires crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX's assets primarily consist of rail and truck terminals and unloading racks, storage facilities and pipelines, a substantial portion of which were acquired from or contributed by PBF LLC and are located at, or nearby, our refineries. PBFX provides various rail, truck and marine terminaling services, pipeline transportation services and storage services to PBF Holding and/or its subsidiaries and third party customers through fee-based commercial agreements. PBFX currently does not generate significant third party revenue and intersegment related-party revenues are eliminated in consolidation. From a PBF Energy perspective, our chief operating decision maker evaluates the Logistics segment as a whole without regard to any of PBFX's individual operating segments.

(9) As reported by Platts.

(10) Gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel of throughput are Non-GAAP measures because they exclude refinery operating expenses, depreciation and amortization and gross margin of PBFX. Gross refining margin per barrel is gross refining margin, divided by total crude and feedstocks throughput. We believe they are important measures of operating performance and provide useful information to investors because gross refining margin per barrel is a helpful metric comparison to the industry refining margin benchmarks shown in the Market Indicators Tables, as the industry benchmarks do not include a charge for refinery operating expenses and depreciation. Other companies in our industry may not calculate gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel in the same manner. Gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel of throughput have their limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

(11) Represents refinery operating expenses, including corporate-owned logistics assets, excluding depreciation and amortization, divided by total crude oil and feedstocks throughput.

(12) We define heavy crude oil as crude oil with American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity less than 24 degrees. We define medium crude oil as crude oil with API gravity between 24 and 35 degrees. We define light crude oil as crude oil with API gravity higher than 35 degrees.

(13) The total debt to capitalization ratio is calculated by dividing total debt by the sum of total debt and total equity. This ratio is a measurement that management believes is useful to investors in analyzing our leverage. Net debt and the net debt to capitalization ratio are Non-GAAP measures. Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from total debt. We believe these measurements are also useful to investors since we have the ability to and may decide to use a portion of our cash and cash equivalents to retire or pay down our debt. Additionally, we have also presented the total debt to capitalization and net debt to capitalization ratios excluding the cumulative effects of special items on equity.
