Delek US Holdings Reports Second Quarter 2018 Results
  • Positioned to benefit from significant current Midland-Cushing discount with 207,000 bpd of Permian Basin crude oil access
  • Reported approximately $1.1 billion of cash at June 30, 2018
  • Captured $131 million of annualized synergies related to the Alon USA Energy transaction through second quarter 2018
  • Returned $153 million of cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases year to date

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Aug. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Delek US Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DK) (“Delek US”) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2018. Delek US reported second quarter 2018 net income of $79.1 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, versus net loss of $(37.9) million, or $(0.61) per basic share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  On an adjusted basis, Delek US reported net income of $89.0 million, or $1.03 per diluted share for the second quarter 2018. This compares to adjusted net loss of $(25.0) million, or $(0.40) per basic share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") was $199.1 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million in the prior- year period. Reconciliations of net income (loss) reported under U.S. GAAP to adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are included in the financial tables attached to this release.

During the second quarter 2018, results were affected by approximately $60.3 million, or $0.52 per share after tax, of non-cash items which were not included as adjustments in the adjusted results above. This amount consisted of approximately $38.5 million, or $0.33 per share after tax, related to an inventory timing effect between the price of Permian Basin crude oil when it is purchased and when it is sold and realized as finished products sales in the gross margin. Results during the second quarter do not fully reflect the Midland to Cushing differential as this inventory timing effect was magnified by the large change in the differential that occurred over a short period of time. In addition, results were reduced by a charge of approximately $21.8 million, or $0.19 per share after tax, related to a mark-to-market of the Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") inventory position. The inventory position is the result of the previously announced waiver received for the El Dorado and Krotz Springs refineries in March 2018.

Uzi Yemin, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Delek US, stated, "We had a great quarter as our refining system ran at 96 percent utilization and the system-wide operating expense was below $4.00 per barrel. Also, our refining margins began to feel the effect of a wider Permian crude oil differential toward the end of the quarter. Activity in the Permian Basin remains robust as crude oil production has continued to increase and there is limited new pipeline takeaway capacity expected in the near term. This is playing a role in the steep discount between WTI Cushing and WTI Midland crude oil forecasted for the remainder of 2018 and into 2019. Based on the forward curve as of August 6, 2018, the discount is currently trading at an average of $12.99 per barrel for the third quarter, $17.10 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2018 and $6.90 per barrel in 2019. While we purchase the Midland barrels at the discount in the market, the realized Midland differential in our reported results in the second quarter was approximately $3.00 per barrel due to inventory timing effects. As Permian Basin production increases, our initiative to gather more crude oil barrels continues to grow, providing better crude oil quality and lower costs to our refining operations. With access to approximately 75.0 million barrels annually of Permian Basin crude oil in our refining system, or approximately 70 percent of our crude oil slate, we believe Delek US is well positioned to benefit from this market environment."

Yemin concluded, "The team made further progress in capturing synergies from the Alon USA acquisition and our annualized synergy target has been increased to a range of $130.0 million to $140.0 million. Our cash balance at June 30, 2018 was approximately $1.1 billion and $153.1 million of cash has been returned to shareholders through a combination of dividends and share repurchases on a year-to-date basis. We remain focused on creating long term value for our shareholders as our capital allocation program balances returning cash to our shareholders, investing in our business and exploring opportunities to provide future growth."

Results improved year-over-year primarily due to better performance in the refining segment. The refining segment contribution margin was $177.0 million in the second quarter 2018, compared to a contribution margin of $16.9 million in the prior-year period. The contribution from the Alon USA refineries acquired on July 1, 2017, a higher crack spread environment and an increased Midland WTI to Brent crude oil price discount all were factors in the year-over-year increase.  The logistics segment contribution margin improved to $45.4 million during the quarter compared to $31.7 million in the prior-year period, as it benefited from the drop down of the Big Spring refinery logistics assets that was effective March 1, 2018, a higher gross margin per barrel in west Texas and improved performance from the Paline Pipeline.  The retail segment contribution margin was $18.6 million, which related to the retail business acquired on July 1, 2017 and does not have comparable prior-year period results.

Synergies Update
Since the completion of the Alon USA transaction on July 1, 2017, through the second quarter 2018, Delek US captured approximately $131.0 million of annualized synergies. Delek US is now targeting total annualized synergies within a range of $130.0 million to $140.0 million, which is an increase from the previous guidance of $115.0 million to $130.0 million. On an annualized basis, these synergies are expected to be captured during 2018.

Asset Divestitures
In May 2018, Delek sold five asphalt terminals located on the West Coast for $75.0 million, plus working capital. In July 2018, the Long Beach, California location was sold for approximately $14.9 million. Including Long Beach, non-core assets have been divested for approximately $162.0 million so far in 2018.  Evaluations are ongoing for the Bakersfield, California location, which remained a part of continuing operations in the second quarter 2018.

Regular Quarterly Dividend and Share Repurchase
Delek US announced today that its Board of Directors had declared its regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share. Shareholders of record on August 21, 2018 will receive this cash dividend payable on September 4, 2018.

During the second quarter 2018, Delek US repurchased 371,271 shares for approximately $20.0 million, with an average price of $53.87 per share.  For the six months ended June 30, 2018, Delek US repurchased approximately 2.9 million shares for approximately $115.3 million, with an average price of $39.19 per share.  At June 30, 2018, there was approximately $159.7 million of total available authorization remaining to repurchase shares.

Liquidity
As of June 30, 2018, Delek US had a cash balance of $1.1 billion and total consolidated debt of $2.0 billion, resulting in net debt of $0.9 billion.  As of June 30, 2018, Delek US' subsidiary, Delek Logistics, had $737.1 million of total debt and $5.2 million of cash, which is included in the consolidated amounts on Delek US' balance sheet. Excluding Delek Logistics, Delek US had approximately $1.1 billion in cash and $1.3 billion of debt, or a $0.2 billion net debt position.

Refining Segment
Refining segment contribution margin was $177.0 million in the second quarter 2018 compared to $16.9 million in the second quarter 2017. On a year-over-year basis, results benefited from a higher crack spread environment, wider discount between Midland WTI crude oil and Brent crude oil and the addition of the Big Spring and Krotz Springs refineries acquired in the Alon USA transaction that closed on July 1, 2017.  The Gulf Coast 5-3-2 crack spread increased to $14.37 per barrel for the second quarter 2018, compared to $10.86 per barrel for the same period in 2017.

During the second quarter 2018, the Midland WTI crude oil differential to Brent crude oil was an average discount of $15.03 per barrel compared to $3.48 per barrel in the prior-year period. The Midland WTI crude oil differential to Cushing WTI was an average discount of $5.14 per barrel in second quarter 2018 compared to an average discount of $0.83 per barrel in the second quarter 2017.  Backwardation in the oil futures market was $0.12 per barrel in the second quarter 2018, compared to contango of $0.54 per barrel in the second quarter 2017.

As discussed above, there was approximately $38.5 million related to an inventory timing effect between the price of Permian Basin crude oil when it was purchased and when it is sold and realized as finished products sales in the gross margin. Results during the second quarter do not fully reflect the Midland to Cushing differential as this inventory timing effect was magnified by the large change in the differential that occurred over a short period of time. The estimated realized Midland to Cushing differential in reported results was approximately $3.00 per barrel during the second quarter 2018, taking into consideration this inventory timing effect.

Logistics Segment
The logistics segment contribution margin in the second quarter 2018 increased to $45.4 million compared to $31.7 million in the second quarter 2017. The primary factors that increased contribution margin were a benefit from the drop down of the Big Spring refinery logistics assets that was effective March 1, 2018, a higher gross margin per barrel in west Texas and improved performance from the Paline Pipeline, which were partially offset by higher operating expenses on a year-over-year basis.

Retail Segment
As a result of the Alon USA transaction on July 1, 2017, Delek US acquired approximately 300 convenience store locations operating primarily in west Texas and New Mexico. For the second quarter 2018, net sales for the retail segment were $244.8 million and contribution margin was $18.6 million. Merchandise sales were approximately $90.2 million with an average retail margin of 31.7% and approximately 54.1 million retail fuel gallons were sold at an average margin of $0.24 per gallon. Operating expenses for the retail segment were $25.3 million in the second quarter 2018.

Corporate/Other Segment
Contribution margin from the Corporate/Other segment was a loss of $(11.8) million in the second quarter 2018 compared to $(37.8) million in the prior-year period. This segment also includes the asphalt business acquired in the Alon USA transaction on July 1, 2017 (some of the asphalt terminals were sold on May 21, 2018 as discussed above). The net hedging loss in the second quarter 2018 was $(0.4) million compared to a net hedging loss of $(30.9) million in the prior-year period. The prior-year period includes a hedging loss of approximately $31.7 million related to a realized loss on a crude oil inventory hedging strategy associated with Delek US' supply and offtake agreement.

  5. For our Tyler and El Dorado refineries, we compare our per barrel refining product margin to the Gulf Coast 5-3-2 crack spread consisting of WTI Cushing crude, U.S. Gulf Coast CBOB and U.S, Gulf Coast Pipeline No. 2 heating oil (high sulfur diesel).  For our Big Spring refinery, we compare our per barrel refined product margin to the Gulf Coast 3-2-1 crack spread consisting of WTI Cushing crude, Gulf Coast 87 Conventional gasoline and Gulf Coast ultra low sulfur diesel, and for our Krotz Springs refinery, we compare our per barrel refined product margin to the Gulf Coast 2-1-1 crack spread consisting of LLS crude oil, Gulf Coast 87 Conventional gasoline and U.S, Gulf Coast Pipeline No. 2 heating oil (high sulfur diesel).  The Tyler refinery's crude oil input is primarily WTI Midland and east Texas, while the El Dorado refinery's crude input is primarily combination of WTI Midland, local Arkansas and other domestic inland crude oil. The Big Spring refinery’s crude oil input is primarily comprised of WTS and WTI Midland. The Krotz Springs refinery’s crude oil input is primarily comprised of LLS and WTI Midland.  The Big Spring and Krotz Springs refineries were acquired July 1, 2017 as part of the Delek US/Alon USA Merger, so Gulf Coast 3-2-1 and 2-1-1 crack spreads, LLS and WTS statistics are presented only for the period Delek US owned these refineries.

(1) Adjusted refining margin per barrel is presented to provide a measure to evaluate performance excluding inventory valuation adjustments and other items at the individual refinery level. Delek US believes that the presentation of adjusted measures provides useful information to investors in assessing its results of operations at each refinery. Because adjusted refining margin per barrel may be defined differently by other companies in its industry, Delek US' definition may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

(2) Tyler adjusted refining margins exclude the following items.

Net inventory valuation benefit - There was approximately $0.5 million benefit and $(10.4) million of valuation loss in the second quarter 2018 and 2017, respectively. There was approximately $1.0 million benefit and $(13.1) million of valuation loss in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These amounts resulted from lower of cost or market adjustments on LIFO inventory in the respective periods.

Biodiesel tax credit allocation - In the first quarter 2018, approximately $15.4 million related to the biodiesel tax credit for 2017 that is included in the renewables portion of the refining segment, which was allocated to Tyler.

(3) El Dorado adjusted refining margins exclude the following items.

Net inventory valuation (loss) - There were $0.0 million and a $(0.3) million of valuation losses in the second quarter 2018 and 2017, respectively.  There was approximately $0.0 million and $(0.3) million of valuation losses in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  These amounts resulted from lower of cost or market adjustments on FIFO inventory in the respective periods.

RIN waiver - In March 2018, the El Dorado, Arkansas refinery received approval from the Environmental Protection Agency for a small refinery exemption from the requirements of the renewable fuel standard for the 2017 calendar year. This waiver equated to a benefit of approximately $59.3 million recognized in the first quarter 2018 compared to $47.5 million recognized in the first quarter 2017 for a similar exemption received for the 2016 calendar year.

Biodiesel tax credit allocation - In the first quarter 2018, approximately $6.0 million related to the biodiesel tax credit for 2017 that is included in the renewables portion of the refining segment, which was allocated to El Dorado.

Non-cash RINs inventory mark-to-market - Relates to a mark-to-market of the Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") inventory position. The inventory position was higher due to the waiver received by the El Dorado refinery in March 2018.

(4) Big Spring adjusted refining margins exclude the following items.

Net inventory valuation (loss) - There were $(0.2) million and $(0.2) million of valuation losses in the second quarter 2018 and in the six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. These amounts resulted from lower of cost or market adjustments on FIFO inventory in the respective period.

(5) Krotz Springs adjusted refining margins exclude the following items.

Net inventory valuation (loss) - There were $(0.05) million and $(0.05) million of valuation losses in the second quarter 2018 and in the six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. These amounts resulted from lower of cost or market adjustments on FIFO inventory in the respective period.

RIN waiver - In March 2018, the Krotz Springs, Louisiana refinery received approval from the Environmental Protection Agency for a small refinery exemption from the requirements of the renewable fuel standard for the 2017 calendar year. This waiver equated to a benefit of approximately $31.6 million recognized in the first quarter 2018.

Non-cash RINs inventory mark-to-market - Relates to a mark-to-market of the Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") inventory position. The inventory position was higher due to the waiver received by the El Dorado refinery in March 2018.
