DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
HollyFrontier Corporation (NYSE:HFC) (“HollyFrontier” or the “Company”)
today reported first quarter net income attributable to HollyFrontier
stockholders of $226.9 million or $1.16 per diluted share for the
quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to $152.1 million or $0.76 per
diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
For the first quarter, net income attributable to our stockholders
increased by $74.8 million compared to the same period of 2014,
principally reflecting higher first quarter refining margins. Refinery
gross margins were $16.69 per produced barrel, a 13% increase compared
to $14.75 for the first quarter of 2014. Production levels averaged
approximately 431,000 barrels per day (“BPD”) and crude oil charges
averaged 417,000 BPD for the current quarter. Operating expenses for the
quarter were $263.6 million or $5.87 per barrel compared to $274.0
million or $6.29 per barrel for the first quarter of last year.
HollyFrontier’s President & CEO, Mike Jennings, commented, “The strength
of our first quarter earnings reflect outstanding operational
reliability across our refining system. Crude throughput was 94% of
nameplate capacity and 104% of capacity adjusted for planned turnaround
activity in the quarter. Realized margin per barrel increased 13%
compared to the same period last year driving a 53% improvement in
earnings per share. March refinery performance was particularly strong
averaging 444,000 BPD of crude charge and 465,000 BPD of production. The
second quarter is off to a very good start with new record crude rates
being reached at several of our plants. Given low planned maintenance
for the rest of 2015, I expect continued high refinery utilization rates
for the balance of the year.”
For the first quarter of 2015, net cash provided by operations totaled
$246.9 million. During the period, we declared $0.32 regular dividends
to shareholders totaling approximately $62.0 million and repurchased
$55.0 million in common stock under our Board-approved share repurchase
program. At March 31, 2015, our combined balance of cash and short-term
investments totaled $1.0 billion and our consolidated debt was $1.1
billion. Our debt, exclusive of Holly Energy Partners' debt, which is
nonrecourse to HollyFrontier, was $186.6 million at March 31, 2015. We
had no cash borrowings or outstanding principal under our credit
facility during the quarter.
The Company has scheduled a webcast conference call for today, May 6,
2015, at 8:30 AM Eastern Time to discuss first quarter financial
results. This webcast may be accessed at: https://event.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1060741.
An audio archive of this webcast will be available using the above noted
link through May 20, 2015.

Segment Information
Our operations are organized into two reportable segments, Refining and
HEP. Our operations that are not included in the Refining and HEP
segments are included in Corporate and Other. Intersegment transactions
are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements and are included
in Consolidations and Eliminations. The Refining segment includes the
operations of our El Dorado, Tulsa, Navajo, Cheyenne and Woods Cross
refineries and NK Asphalt and involves the purchase and refining of
crude oil and wholesale and branded marketing of refined products, such
as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, specialty lubricant products, and
specialty and modified asphalt. The petroleum products are primarily
marketed in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of
the United States and northern Mexico. Additionally, specialty lubricant
products produced at our Tulsa West facility are marketed throughout
North America and are distributed in Central and South America. NK
Asphalt manufactures and markets asphalt and asphalt products in
Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Texas and northern
Mexico.
The HEP segment involves all of the operations of HEP, a consolidated
variable interest entity, which owns and operates logistics assets
consisting of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines and terminal,
tankage and loading rack facilities in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and
Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. Revenues are generated by
charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil
through its pipelines and by charging fees for terminalling petroleum
products and other hydrocarbons, and storing and providing other
services at its storage tanks and terminals. The HEP segment also
includes a 75% interest in the UNEV Pipeline (an HEP consolidated
subsidiary) and a 25% interest in the SLC Pipeline. Revenues from the
HEP segment are earned through transactions with unaffiliated parties
for pipeline transportation, rental and terminalling operations as well
as revenues relating to pipeline transportation services provided for
our refining operations.

Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles
Reconciliations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization (“EBITDA”) to amounts reported under generally accepted
accounting principles in financial statements.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we
refer to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income attributable to
HollyFrontier stockholders plus (i) interest expense, net of interest
income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation and
amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation provided for under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States; however, the amounts
included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in
our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered
as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of
our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as
a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here
because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and
analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used by our management
for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants.
Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA.

Reconciliations of refinery operating information (non-GAAP
performance measures) to amounts reported under generally accepted
accounting principles in financial statements.
Refinery gross margin and net operating margin are non-GAAP performance
measures that are used by our management and others to compare our
refining performance to that of other companies in our industry. We
believe these margin measures are helpful to investors in evaluating our
refining performance on a relative and absolute basis.
Refinery gross margin per barrel is the difference between average net
sales price and average cost of products per barrel of produced refined
products. Net operating margin per barrel is the difference between
refinery gross margin and refinery operating expenses per barrel of
produced refined products. These two margins do not include the non-cash
effects of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments or
depreciation and amortization. Each of these component performance
measures can be reconciled directly to our consolidated statements of
income.
Other companies in our industry may not calculate these performance
measures in the same manner.
Refinery Gross and Net Operating Margins
Below are reconciliations to our consolidated statements of income for
(i) net sales, cost of products (exclusive of lower of cost or market
inventory valuation adjustment) and operating expenses, in each case
averaged per produced barrel sold, and (ii) net operating margin and
refinery gross margin. Due to rounding of reported numbers, some amounts
may not calculate exactly.

We purchase finished products to facilitate delivery to certain
locations or to meet delivery commitments.

We purchase crude oil that at times exceeds the supply needs of
our refineries. Quantities in excess of our needs are sold at
market prices to purchasers of crude oil that are recorded on a
gross basis with the sales price recorded as revenues and the
corresponding acquisition cost as inventory and then upon sale as
cost of products sold. Additionally, at times we enter into
buy/sell exchanges of crude oil with certain parties to facilitate
the delivery of quantities to certain locations that are netted at
cost.
