Par Pacific Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2018 Results

HOUSTON, Nov. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PARR) ("Par Pacific" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Third Quarter 2018 Highlights

  • Net Loss of $5.8 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share
  • Adjusted Net Income of $5.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $27.1 million
  • Record on-island sales of 75,300 barrels per day in Hawaii
  • Approved $44 million investment in Hawaii to increase on-island gasoline production; projected to come online in the first quarter of 2021
  • Laramie ownership interest increased to 46% from 39% in October following the redemption of a unitholder's interest

Par Pacific reported a net loss of $5.8 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to net income of $18.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the same quarter in 2017. Third quarter 2018 Adjusted Net Income was $5.5 million, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $25.2 million in the third quarter of 2017. Third quarter 2018 Adjusted EBITDA was $27.1 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $45.1 million in the third quarter of 2017.  A reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the tables accompanying this news release.

"I am pleased with the progress we made during the quarter in executing on our strategic initiatives," said William Pate, Par Pacific's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We've announced a combined $116 million investment in Hawaii between the IES transaction and other expansion projects with attractive return profiles in order to capitalize on IMO 2020 and growing jet fuel demand. Our third quarter operating and financial results benefited from strong operations from our Wyoming Refinery and Retail, which mitigated challenges faced by our Hawaii Refinery."

Refining

The Refining segment reported operating income of $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to operating income of $21.3 million in the third quarter of 2017. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Refining segment was $52.3 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $71.2 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Refining Adjusted EBITDA was $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to Refining Adjusted EBITDA of $35.1 million in the third quarter of 2017. Over half of this decline can be attributed to market conditions in Hawaii.

Hawaii Refinery

The combined Mid Pacific Index was $8.59/bbl in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $10.27/bbl in the third quarter of 2017. The Hawaii refinery's throughput in the third quarter of 2018 was 72 thousand barrels per day (Mbpd). This compares to throughput of 74 Mbpd for the same quarter in 2017. Production costs were $3.97 per throughput barrel in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $3.69 per throughput barrel in the same period in 2017. The planned reformer regeneration and prolonged shut-down of downstream processing units related to Hurricane Lane impacted financial results in the third quarter of 2018.

Par Pacific is commencing a new $44 million capital project to build a 10 Mbpd naphtha hydrotreater and 6.5 Mbpd isomerization unit at its Hawaii refinery.  These units are expected to convert lower-value exported products into higher-value on-island gasoline sales, enhance octane production, and improve benzene and sulfur balances.  Startup is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2021.

Wyoming Refinery

During the third quarter of 2018, the Wyoming 3-2-1 Index averaged $26.25/bbl, compared to $25.29/bbl in the third quarter of 2017. The Wyoming refinery's throughput was 17 Mbpd in the third quarter of both 2018 and 2017. Production costs were $6.10 per throughput barrel in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $6.67 per throughput barrel in the same period in 2017.

Retail

The Retail segment reported operating income of $10.7 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $7.5 million in the third quarter of 2017. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Retail segment was $29.0 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $20.5 million in the same quarter of 2017.

Retail Adjusted EBITDA was $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $8.9 million in the third quarter of 2017. The Retail segment reported sales volumes of 32.2 million gallons in the third quarter of 2018, compared to 24.1 million gallons in the same quarter of 2017. The third quarter of 2018 includes results from the Northwest retail acquisition.

Logistics

The Logistics segment reported operating income of $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $10.4 million in the third quarter of 2017. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Logistics segment was $12.3 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $16.0 million in the same quarter of 2017.

Logistics Adjusted EBITDA was $10.6 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Laramie Energy

Equity earnings from Laramie in the third quarter of 2018 were $1.1 million, compared to equity earnings of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2017. Third quarter 2018 earnings attributable to Par Pacific's 39.1% ownership interest in Laramie included $1.3 million in unrealized losses on derivative instruments compared to $1.0 million in unrealized gains on derivative instruments during the third quarter of 2017. Laramie's total net loss was $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2017. Laramie's total Adjusted EBITDAX was $29.2 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $14.4 million in the third quarter of 2017.

Laramie averaged 211 million cubic feet equivalent per day (MMcfed) of production during the third quarter of 2018 and exited the quarter with production of 215 MMcfed. Subsequent to the third quarter of 2018, Par Pacific's ownership interest in Laramie increased to 46% following the redemption of a unitholder's interest.

Liquidity

Net cash provided by operations totaled $51.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $105.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2018, Par Pacific's cash balance totaled $87.7 million, long-term debt totaled $389.6 million, and total liquidity was $184.9 million. Par Pacific's cash balance improved by $5.0 million in the quarter, primarily due to cash provided from operations.

(1)

The profitability of our Hawaii business is heavily influenced by crack spreads in both the Singapore and U.S. West Coast markets. These markets reflect the closest liquid market alternatives to source refined products for Hawaii. We believe the Singapore and Mid Pacific crack spreads (or four barrels of Brent crude converted into one barrel of gasoline, two barrels of distillate (diesel and jet fuel) and one barrel of fuel oil) best reflect a market indicator for our Hawaii refinery operations. The Mid Pacific crack spread is calculated using a ratio of 80% Singapore and 20% San Francisco indices.

(2)

Weighted-average differentials, excluding shipping costs, of a blend of crudes with an API of 31.98 and sulfur weight percentage of 0.65% that is indicative of our typical crude oil mix quality compared to Brent crude.

(3)

Please see discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin below. We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel by dividing Adjusted Gross Margin by total refining throughput. 

(4)

Management uses production costs per barrel to evaluate performance and compare efficiency to other companies in the industry. There are several ways to calculate production costs per barrel; different companies within the industry calculate it in different ways. We calculate production costs per barrel by dividing all direct production costs, which include the costs to run the refineries including personnel costs, repair and maintenance costs, insurance, utilities and other miscellaneous costs, by total refining throughput. Our production costs are included in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) on our consolidated statement of operations, which also includes costs related to our bulk marketing operations.

(5)

The profitability of our Wyoming refinery is heavily influenced by crack spreads in nearby markets. We believe the Wyoming 3-2-1 Index is the best market indicator for our operations in Wyoming. The Wyoming 3-2-1 Index is computed by taking two parts gasoline and one part distillate (ultra-low sulfur diesel) as created from three barrels of West Texas Intermediate Crude. Pricing is based 50% on applicable product pricing in Rapid City, South Dakota, and 50% on applicable product pricing in Denver, Colorado.

(6)

Retail sales volumes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, include the 92 days and 192 days of retail sales volumes from Northwest Retail from the acquisition date of March 23, 2018 through September 30, 2018, respectively.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are considered non-GAAP financial measures. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.


Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as (i) operating income (loss) plus operating expense (excluding depreciation), depreciation, depletion, and amortization ("DD&A"), inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase obligation, and purchase price allocation adjustments), and unrealized losses (gains) on derivatives or (ii) revenues less cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) plus inventory valuation adjustments and unrealized losses (gains) on derivatives. We define cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) as the hydrocarbon-related costs of inventory sold, transportation costs of delivering product to customers, crude oil consumed in the refining process, costs to satisfy our Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") obligations, and certain hydrocarbon fees and taxes. Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) also includes the unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and inventory valuation adjustments that we exclude from Adjusted Gross Margin.

Management believes Adjusted Gross Margin is an important measure of operating performance and uses Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel to evaluate operating performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry and to industry benchmarks. Management believes Adjusted Gross Margin provides useful information to investors because it eliminates the gross impact of volatile commodity prices and adjusts for certain non-cash items and timing differences created by our inventory financing agreement and lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments to demonstrate the earnings potential of the business before other fixed and variable costs, which are reported separately in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) and Depreciation, depletion, and amortization.

Adjusted Gross Margin should not be considered an alternative to operating income (loss), net cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Gross Margin presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation since each company may define this term differently as they may include other manufacturing costs and depreciation expense in cost of revenues.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, operating income (loss), on a historical basis, for selected segments, for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as Net income (loss) excluding changes in the value of contingent consideration and common stock warrants, acquisition and integration expense, unrealized (gains) losses on derivatives, loss on termination of financing agreements, release of tax valuation allowance, inventory valuation adjustment, severance costs, impairment expense, and (gain) loss on sale of assets. Beginning in 2018, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) also excludes Par's share of Laramie Energy's unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives. The exclusion of Par's share of Laramie Energy's unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives from Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is consistent with our treatment of Par's unrealized (gains) losses on derivatives, which are also excluded from Adjusted Net Income (Loss). We have recast the non-GAAP information for three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 to conform to the current period presentation.

Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excluding interest expense and financing costs, taxes, DD&A, and equity losses (earnings) from Laramie Energy (excluding Par's share of Laramie's unrealized loss or gain on derivatives). We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental financial measures that allow investors 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 to pay interest on our indebtedness; and
  • Our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows provided by operating, investing, and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation as other companies may define these terms differently.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), on a historical basis for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA by Segment

Adjusted EBITDA by segment is defined as Operating income (loss) by segment excluding unrealized (gains) losses on derivatives, inventory valuation adjustment, severance costs, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA by segment is a useful supplemental financial measure to evaluate the economic performance of our segments without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, operating income (loss), on a historical basis, for selected segments, for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Laramie Energy Adjusted EBITDAX

Adjusted EBITDAX is defined as net income (loss) excluding commodity derivative loss (gain), losses on settled derivative instruments, interest expense, non-cash preferred dividends, depreciation, depletion, amortization, and accretion, exploration and geological and geographical expense, bonus accrual, equity-based compensation expense, loss (gain) on disposal of assets, pipeline (payment) deficiency accrual, and expired acreage (non-cash). We believe Adjusted EBITDAX is a useful supplemental financial measure to evaluate the economic and operational performance of exploration and production companies such as Laramie Energy.
