SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE: VLO, “Valero”) today reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $2.8 billion, or $7.19 per share, for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $463 million, or $1.13 per share, for the third quarter of 2021. Excluding the adjustments shown in the accompanying earnings release tables, adjusted net income attributable to Valero stockholders was $2.8 billion, or $7.14 per share, for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $545 million, or $1.33 per share, for the third quarter of 2021.

“Refining fundamentals remain strong as product demand through our system has surpassed 2019 levels, while global product supply remains constrained due to capacity reductions and high natural gas prices in Europe are setting a higher floor on margins,” said Joe Gorder, Valero’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to maximize refining utilization in a safe, reliable and environmentally responsible manner to provide essential products.”

Refining

The Refining segment reported operating income of $3.8 billion for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $835 million for the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted operating income for the third quarter of 2021 was $911 million. Refining throughput volumes averaged 3.0 million barrels per day in the third quarter of 2022, which was 141 thousand barrels per day higher than the third quarter of 2021. Refinery utilization rate was 95 percent in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 91 percent in the third quarter of 2021.

Renewable Diesel

The Renewable Diesel segment, which consists of the Diamond Green Diesel (DGD) joint venture, reported $212 million of operating income for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $108 million for the third quarter of 2021. Renewable diesel sales volumes averaged 2.2 million gallons per day in the third quarter of 2022, which was 1.6 million gallons per day higher than the third quarter of 2021. The higher sales volumes in the third quarter of 2022 were due to DGD 1 downtime in the third quarter of 2021 resulting from Hurricane Ida and the impact of additional volumes from DGD 2, which started up in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Ethanol

The Ethanol segment reported $1 million of operating income for the third quarter of 2022, compared to a $44 million operating loss for the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted operating income for the third quarter of 2021 was $4 million. Ethanol production volumes averaged 3.5 million gallons per day in the third quarter of 2022.

Corporate and Other

General and administrative expenses were $214 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $195 million in the third quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 was 22 percent.

Investing and Financing Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.0 billion in the third quarter of 2022. Included in this amount was a $1.5 billion unfavorable change in working capital and $119 million of net cash provided by operating activities associated with the other joint venture member’s share of DGD, excluding changes in DGD’s working capital. Excluding these items, adjusted net cash provided by operating activities was $3.4 billion in the third quarter of 2022.

Capital investments totaled $602 million in the third quarter of 2022, of which $185 million was for sustaining the business, including costs for turnarounds, catalysts and regulatory compliance. Excluding capital investments attributable to the other joint venture member’s share of DGD and those related to other variable interest entities, capital investments attributable to Valero were $479 million.

Valero further reduced its debt by $1.25 billion in September. This transaction, combined with a series of debt reduction and refinancing transactions completed since the second half of 2021, have collectively reduced Valero’s debt by approximately $3.6 billion.

“Our strong balance sheet remains the cornerstone of our capital allocation framework,” said Gorder. “We have significantly reduced our debt since the second half of 2021 and will continue to evaluate further reductions.”

Liquidity and Financial Position

Valero ended the third quarter of 2022 with $9.6 billion of total debt, $1.9 billion of finance lease obligations and $4.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $13.0 billion of total debt, $1.6 billion of finance lease obligations and $2.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter of 2021. As a result, the debt to capitalization ratio, net of cash and cash equivalents, was approximately 24 percent as of September 30, 2022, down from the pandemic high of 40 percent as of March 31, 2021.

Strategic Update

Refinery optimization projects that are expected to reduce costs and improve margin capture are progressing on schedule. The Port Arthur Coker project, which is expected to increase the refinery’s throughput capacity, while also improving turnaround efficiency, is expected to be completed in the first half of 2023.

The DGD project adjacent to the Port Arthur refinery (DGD 3), which is expected to have renewable diesel production capacity of 470 million gallons per year, is currently in the start-up process and is expected to be operational in November. The total annual DGD production capacity is expected to increase to 1.2 billion gallons of renewable diesel and 50 million gallons of renewable naphtha upon commencement of DGD 3’s operations.

BlackRock and Navigator’s carbon sequestration project is still expected to begin startup activities in late 2024. Valero is expecting to be the anchor shipper with eight of its ethanol plants connected to this system, producing a lower carbon intensity ethanol product expected to be marketed in low-carbon fuel markets that should result in a higher product margin.

Conference Call

Valero’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 NOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES
(a)	Under the Renewable Fuel Standard program, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to set annual quotas for the volume of renewable fuels that obligated parties, such as us, must blend into petroleum-based transportation fuels consumed in the U.S. The quotas are used to determine an obligated party’s renewable volume obligation (RVO). The EPA released a final rule on June 3, 2022 that, among other things, reduced the quotas for 2020 and, for the first time, established quotas for 2021 and 2022.
	In 2020, we recognized the cost of the RVO using the 2020 quotas set by the EPA at that time, and in 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized the cost of the RVO using our estimates of the quotas. As a result of the final rule released by the EPA as noted above, we recognized a benefit of $104 million in June 2022 primarily related to the modification of the 2020 quotas. The impacts to the estimated cost of the RVO recognized by us in 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2022 were not significant; however, there were impacts in the 2021 quarterly periods as follows: (i) benefit of $80 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021; (ii) benefit of $81 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021; (iii) benefit of $58 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, resulting in a benefit of $219 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021; and (iv) charge of $220 million related to the three months ended December 31, 2021.
(b)	In mid-February 2021, many of our refineries and plants were impacted to varying extents by the severe cold, utility disruptions, and higher energy costs arising out of Winter Storm Uri. The higher energy costs resulted from an increase in the prices of natural gas and electricity that significantly exceeded rates that we consider normal, such as the average rates we incurred the month preceding the storm. As a result, our operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes estimated excess energy costs of $579 million ($1.15 per share).
	The above-mentioned pre-tax estimated excess energy charge is reflected in our statement of income line items and attributable to our reportable segments for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as follows (in millions):

		Refining			Renewable Diesel			Ethanol			Total
	Cost of materials and other	$	47		$	—		$	—		$	47
	Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense)		478			—			54			532
	Total estimated excess energy costs	$	525		$	—		$	54		$	579

	The estimated excess energy costs attributable to our Refining segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are associated with the Refining segment regions as follows (in millions, except per barrel amounts):
		U.S. Gulf Coast			U.S. Mid- Continent			Other Regions Combined			Refining Segment
	Cost of materials and other	$	45		$	2		$	—		$	47
	Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense)		437			38			3			478
	Total estimated excess energy costs	$	482		$	40		$	3		$	525
	Effect of estimated excess energy costs on operating statistics (j)
	Refining margin per barrel of throughput (g)	$	0.10		$	0.02			n/a		$	0.06
	Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) per barrel of throughput		0.98			0.31			n/a			0.65
	Adjusted Refining operating income per barrel of throughput (g)	$	1.08		$	0.33			n/a		$	0.71

	The estimated excess energy costs attributable to our Ethanol segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 affected that segment’s operating statistics of (i) operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expenses) per gallon of production and (ii) adjusted operating income per gallon of production by $0.05 (see note (g) below).
(c)	Depreciation and amortization expense includes the following:
		◦	a gain of $23 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 on the sale of our ethanol plant located in Jefferson, Wisconsin (Jefferson ethanol plant); and
		◦	accelerated depreciation of $48 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to a change in the estimated useful life of our Jefferson ethanol plant.
(d)	General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes a charge of $20 million for an environmental reserve adjustment associated with a non-operating site.
(e)	“Other income, net” includes the following:
		◦	a gain of $26 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and a net charge of $24 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to the early retirement of approximately $1.25 billion and $2.65 billion aggregate principal amount, respectively, of various series of our senior notes;
		◦	a gain of $62 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 on the sale of a 24.99 percent membership interest in MVP Terminalling, LLC (MVP), a nonconsolidated joint venture with a subsidiary of Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P.; and
		◦	a charge of $24 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 representing our portion of the asset impairment loss recognized by Diamond Pipeline LLC, a nonconsolidated joint venture with a subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., resulting from the joint venture’s cancellation of its pipeline extension project.
(f)	Certain statutory income tax rate changes (primarily an increase in the U.K. rate from 19 percent to 25 percent effective in 2023) were enacted during the second quarter of 2021 that resulted in the remeasurement of our deferred tax liabilities. Under GAAP, we are required to recognize the effect of a change in tax law in the period of enactment. As a result, we recognized deferred income tax expense of $64 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which represented the net increase in our deferred tax liabilities resulting from the changes in the income tax rates.
(g)	We use certain financial measures (as noted below) in the earnings release tables and accompanying earnings release that are not defined under 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 GAAP measures, they provide improved comparability between periods after adjusting for 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 GAAP measures nor should they be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported under 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 (loss) attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders adjusted to reflect the items noted below, along with their related income tax effect. The income tax effect for the adjustments was calculated using a combined federal and state statutory rate for the U.S-based adjustments of 22.5 percent and a local statutory income tax rate for foreign-based adjustments. We have adjusted for these items because we believe that they are not indicative of our core operating performance and that their adjustment 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 adjustment is provided below.
			–	Modification of RVO – The net benefit resulting from the modification of our RVO for 2020 and 2021 that was recognized by us in June 2022 is not associated with the cost of the RVO generated by our operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. See note (a) for additional details.
				On the other hand, the net charge resulting from the modification of our RVO for 2021 that was recognized by us in June 2022 is associated with the cost of the RVO generated by our operations throughout 2021. Therefore, the adjustment reflects the portion of the net charge that is associated with the cost of the RVO generated by our operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
			–	Gain on sale of ethanol plant – The gain on the sale of our Jefferson ethanol plant (see note (c)) is not indicative of our ongoing operations.
			–	Environmental reserve adjustment – The environmental reserve adjustment is attributable to a site that was shut down by prior owners and subsequently acquired by us (referred to by us as a non-operating site (see note (d)).
			–	Loss (gain) on early retirement of debt – Discounts, premiums, and other expenses recognized in connection with the early retirement of various series of our senior notes (see note (e)) are not associated with the ongoing costs of our borrowing and financing activities.
			–	Change in estimated useful life of ethanol plant – The accelerated depreciation recognized as a result of a change in the estimated useful life of our Jefferson ethanol plant (see note (c)) is not indicative of our ongoing operations.
			–	Gain on sale of MVP interest – The gain on the sale of a 24.99 percent membership interest in MVP (see note (e)) is not indicative of our ongoing operations.
			–	Diamond Pipeline asset impairment – The asset impairment loss related to the cancellation of a capital project associated with Diamond Pipeline LLC (see note (e)) is not indicative of our ongoing operations.
			–	Income tax expense related to changes in statutory tax rates – The income tax expense related to changes in certain statutory income tax rates (see note (f)) is not indicative of income tax expense associated with the pre-tax results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
		◦	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.
		◦	Refining margin is defined as Refining segment operating income (loss) excluding the modification of RVO adjustment (see note (a)), operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating expenses. We believe Refining margin is an important measure of our Refining segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance.
		◦	Renewable Diesel margin is defined as Renewable Diesel segment operating income excluding operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating expenses. We believe Renewable Diesel margin is an important measure of our Renewable Diesel segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance.
		◦	Ethanol margin is defined as Ethanol segment operating income (loss) excluding operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating expenses. We believe Ethanol margin is an important measure of our Ethanol segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance.
		◦	Adjusted Refining operating income is defined as Refining segment operating income (loss) excluding the modification of RVO adjustment (see note (a)) and other operating expenses. We believe adjusted Refining operating income is an important measure of our Refining segment’s operating and financial performance because it excludes items that are not indicative of that segment’s core operating performance.
		◦	Adjusted Renewable Diesel operating income is defined as Renewable Diesel segment operating income excluding other operating expenses. We believe adjusted Renewable Diesel operating income is an important measure of our Renewable Diesel segment’s operating and financial performance because it excludes an item that is not indicative of that segment’s core operating performance.
		◦	Adjusted Ethanol operating income is defined as Ethanol segment operating income (loss) excluding the gain on sale of ethanol plant (see note (c)), the change in estimated useful life of ethanol plant (see note (c)), and other operating expenses. We believe adjusted Ethanol operating income is an important measure of our Ethanol segment’s operating and financial performance because it excludes items that are not indicative of that segment’s core operating performance.
		◦	Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding the items noted below. We believe adjusted net cash provided by operating activities is an important measure of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our ability to generate cash to fund our investing and financing activities. The basis for our belief with respect to each excluded item is provided below.
			–	Changes in current assets and current liabilities – Current assets net of current liabilities represents our operating liquidity. We believe that the change in our operating liquidity from period to period does not represent cash generated by our operations that is available to fund our investing and financing activities.
			–	DGD’s adjusted net cash provided by operating activities attributable to the other joint venture member’s ownership interest in DGD – We are a 50 percent joint venture member in DGD and we consolidate DGD’s financial statements. Our Renewable Diesel segment includes the operations of DGD and the associated activities to market renewable diesel. Because we consolidate DGD’s financial statements, all of DGD’s net cash provided by operating activities (or operating cash flow) is included in our consolidated net cash provided by operating activities.
				DGD’s members use DGD’s operating cash flow (excluding changes in its current assets and current liabilities) to fund its capital investments rather than distribute all of that cash to themselves. Nevertheless, DGD’s operating cash flow is effectively attributable to each member and only 50 percent of DGD’s operating cash flow should be attributed to our net cash provided by operating activities. Therefore, we have adjusted our net cash provided by operating activities for the portion of DGD’s operating cash flow attributable to the other joint venture member’s ownership interest because we believe that it more accurately reflects the operating cash flow available to us to fund our investing and financing activities. The adjustment is calculated as follows (in millions):

		Three Months Ended September 30,								Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2022				2021				2022				2021
	DGD operating cash flow data
	Net cash provided by operating activities	$	512			$	175			$	661			$	638
	Exclude: Changes in current assets and current liabilities		273				56				73				39
	Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities		239				119				588				599
	Other joint venture member’s ownership interest		50	%			50	%			50	%			50	%
	DGD’s adjusted net cash provided by operating activities attributable to the other joint venture member’s ownership interest in DGD	$	119			$	59			$	294			$	299

		◦	Capital investments attributable to Valero is defined as all capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures, and investments in nonconsolidated joint ventures presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows, excluding the portion of DGD’s capital investments attributable to the other joint venture member and all of the capital expenditures of VIEs other than DGD.
			DGD’s members use DGD’s operating cash flow (excluding changes in its current assets and current liabilities) to fund its capital investments rather than distribute all of that cash to themselves. Because DGD’s operating cash flow is effectively attributable to each member, only 50 percent of DGD’s capital investments should be attributed to our net share of total capital investments. We also exclude the capital expenditures of other VIEs that we consolidate because we do not operate those VIEs. We believe capital investments attributable to Valero is an important measure because it more accurately reflects our capital investments.
(h)	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.
(i)	Primarily includes petrochemicals, gas oils, No. 6 fuel oil, petroleum coke, sulfur, and asphalt.
(j)	Valero uses certain operating statistics (as noted below) in the earnings release tables and the accompanying earnings release to evaluate performance between comparable periods. Different companies may calculate them in different ways.
	All per barrel of throughput, per gallon of sales, and per gallon of production amounts are calculated by dividing the associated dollar amount by the throughput volumes, sales volumes, and production volumes for the period, as applicable.
	Throughput volumes, sales volumes, and production volumes are calculated by multiplying throughput volumes per day, sales volumes per day, and production volumes per day (as provided in the accompanying tables), respectively, by the number of days in the applicable period. We use throughput volumes, sales volumes, and production volumes for the Refining segment, Renewable Diesel segment, and Ethanol 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.
