CVR Energy Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results and Announces Cash Dividend of 75 Cents
SUGAR LAND, Texas, July 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CVI) today announced net income of $116 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, on net sales of $1,687 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to net income of $43 million, or 50 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1,914 million for the second quarter of 2018. Second quarter 2019 EBITDA was $273 million, compared to second quarter 2018 EBITDA of $180 million.
“CVR Energy delivered strong results for the second quarter 2019, primarily attributable to safe and reliable operations, lower Renewable Identification Number prices, higher crack spreads and increased fertilizer sales volumes and pricing,” said Dave Lamp, CVR Energy’s Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, in May we announced that our subsidiary had successfully sold its 1.5 million barrel Cushing, Oklahoma, crude oil terminal and related assets, resulting in an asset sale gain.
“During the 2019 second quarter, CVR Partners continued to be impacted by wet weather across the Midwest. However, it experienced solid demand for nitrogen fertilizer during the quarter and was able to deliver significant volumes of products to customers at netback prices much higher than the same period last year,” Lamp said. “CVR Partners’ plants ran well during the quarter, with ammonia utilization rates of 97 percent at Coffeyville and 98 percent at East Dubuque. CVR Partners also created positive distributable cash and declared a second quarter distribution of 14 cents per unit.”
Petroleum
The petroleum segment reported second quarter 2019 operating income of $163 million on net sales of $1,552 million, compared to operating income of $113 million on net sales of $1,824 million in the second quarter of 2018.
Refining margin per total throughput barrel was $15.66 in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $14.13 during the same period in 2018. Crude oil pricing during the quarter led to an inventory valuation impact of less than $1 million, or 2 cents per total throughout barrel, compared to $22 million, or $1.10 per total throughput barrel, in the second quarter of 2018. The petroleum segment also recognized a second quarter 2019 derivative gain of $4 million, or 22 cents per total throughput barrel, compared to a gain of $10 million, or 51 cents per total throughput barrel, for the prior year period. Included in the total derivative gain for the second quarter of 2019 was an unrealized gain of $2 million, compared to an unrealized loss of $7 million a year earlier.
Second quarter 2019 combined total throughput was approximately 216,000 barrels per day (bpd), compared to approximately 218,000 bpd of combined total throughput for the second quarter of 2018.
Fertilizer
The nitrogen fertilizer segment reported operating income of $35 million on net sales of $138 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to an operating loss of less than $1 million on net sales of $93 million for the second quarter of 2018.
For the second quarter of 2019, CVR Partners’ consolidated average realized gate prices for urea ammonia nitrate (UAN) improved significantly over the prior year, up 14 percent to $217 per ton, while ammonia was up 31 percent over the prior year to $456 per ton. Average realized gate prices for UAN and ammonia were $191 per ton and $348 per ton, respectively, for the second quarter of 2018.
CVR Partners’ fertilizer facilities produced a combined 211,000 tons of ammonia during the second quarter 2019, of which 71,000 net tons were available for sale while the rest was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 316,000 tons of UAN. During the second quarter 2018, the fertilizer facilities produced 174,000 tons of ammonia, of which 65,000 net tons were available for sale while the remainder was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 241,000 tons of UAN.
Cash, Debt and Dividend
Consolidated cash and cash equivalents was $540 million at June 30, 2019. Consolidated total debt and finance lease obligations was $1,195 million at June 30, 2019, with no debt other than the Company’s segments’ debt.
CVR Energy also announced a second quarter 2019 cash dividend of 75 cents per share. The dividend, as declared by CVR Energy’s Board of Directors, will be paid on Aug. 12, 2019, to stockholders of record as of the close of market on Aug. 5, 2019. The annualized dividend of $3 per share represents an industry leading dividend yield of 6 percent based on the July 23, 2019, closing stock price.
Today, CVR Partners announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner declared a second quarter 2019 cash distribution of 14 cents per common unit, which will be paid on Aug. 12, 2019, to common unitholders of record as of the close of market on Aug. 5, 2019.

About CVR Energy, Inc. Headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas, CVR Energy is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and marketing business through its interest in CVR Refining and the nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing business through its interest in CVR Partners, LP. CVR Energy subsidiaries serve as the general partner and own 34 percent of the common units of CVR Partners.
Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance measures to evaluate current and past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our GAAP financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the performance and liquidity measures defined below.
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company revised its accounting policy method for the costs of planned major maintenance activities (turnarounds) specific to the Petroleum Segment from being expensed as incurred (the direct expensing method) to the deferral method. See Note 3 (“Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes”) in the notes to our condensed consolidated quarterly financial statements for a further discussion of the impacts of this change in accounting policy. As a result of this change in accounting policy, the non-GAAP measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Petroleum Adjusted EBITDA, Nitrogen Fertilizer Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Direct Operating Expenses per Total Throughput Barrel net of Turnaround Expense are no longer being presented.
The following are non-GAAP measures that continue to be presented for the period ended June 30, 2019:
EBITDA - Consolidated net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense.
Petroleum EBITDA and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA - Segment net income (loss) before segment (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), and (iii) depreciation and amortization.
Refining Margin - The difference between our Petroleum Segment net sales and cost of materials and other.
Refining Margin adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impact - Refining Margin adjusted to exclude the impact of current period market price and volume fluctuations on crude oil and refined product inventories recognized in prior periods. We record our commodity inventories on the first-in-first-out basis. As a result, significant current period fluctuations in market prices and the volumes we hold in inventory can have favorable or unfavorable impacts on our refining margins as compared to similar metrics used by other publicly-traded companies in the refining industry. The inventory valuation impact is calculated based upon inventory values at the beginning of the accounting period and at the end of the accounting period.
Refining Margin and Refining Margin adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impact,per Throughput Barrel - Refining Margin adjusted to exclude the impact of current period market price and volume fluctuations on crude oil and refined product inventories recognized in prior periods, divided by the total throughput barrels during the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period.
Direct Operating Expenses per Throughput Barrel - Direct operating expenses for our Petroleum Segment divided by total throughput barrels for the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period.
We present these measures because we believe they may help investors, analysts, lenders and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations and liquidity in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, including but not limited to our operating performance as compared to other publicly-traded companies in the refining industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods and our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” section included herein for reconciliation of these amounts. Due to rounding, numbers presented within this section may not add or equal to numbers or totals presented elsewhere within this document.

(1) Reflects ammonia utilization rates on a consolidated basis and at each of the Nitrogen Fertilizer facilities. Utilization is an important measure used by management to assess operational output at each of the facilities. Utilization is calculated as actual tons produced divided by capacity. The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment presents utilization on a two-year rolling average to take into account the impact of current turnaround cycles on any specific period. The two-year rolling average is a more useful presentation of the long-term utilization performance of our plants. Additionally, we present utilization solely on ammonia production rather than each nitrogen product as it provides a comparative baseline against industry peers and eliminates the disparity of plant configurations for upgrade of ammonia into other nitrogen products. With the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segments’ efforts being primarily focused on ammonia upgrade capabilities, this measure provides a meaningful view of how well the facilities operate.

_____________________
(1) FIFO is the petroleum business’ basis for determining inventory value under GAAP. 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 inventory valuation impact when crude oil prices increase and an unfavorable inventory valuation impact when crude oil prices decrease. The inventory valuation impact is calculated based upon inventory values at the beginning of the accounting period and at the end of the accounting period. In order to derive the inventory valuation impact per total throughput barrel, we utilize the total dollar figures for the inventory valuation impact and divide by the number of total throughput barrels for the period.
