    Источник: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 31 июл 2023 16:06:05   America/Chicago

    SUGAR LAND, Texas, July 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CVI) today announced net income of $130 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, on net sales of $2.2 billion for the second quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $165 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, on net sales of $3.1 billion for the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted earnings for the second quarter of 2023 was $1.64 per diluted share compared to adjusted earnings of $2.45 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2022, with the decline in the current period primarily driven by lower crack spreads. Second quarter 2023 EBITDA was $300 million, compared to second quarter 2022 EBITDA of $401 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2023 was $347 million, down from $511 million in the second quarter of 2022.

    “CVR Energy posted solid results for the second quarter of 2023 driven by strong crack spreads,” said Dave Lamp, CVR Energy’s Chief Executive Officer. “In addition to our second quarter 2023 cash dividend of 50 cents, our Board of Directors was pleased to approve a special dividend of $1.00 per share, bringing our year to date declared dividends to $2.00 per share.

    “CVR Partners achieved solid results for the 2023 second quarter led by strong production, including a combined ammonia production rate of 100 percent offset by lower fertilizer pricing,” Lamp said. “CVR Partners announced a cash distribution of $4.14 per common unit for the 2023 second quarter.”

    Petroleum

    The Petroleum Segment reported second quarter 2023 operating income of $171 million on net sales of $2.0 billion, compared to operating income of $297 million on net sales of $2.9 billion in the second quarter of 2022.

    Refining margin per total throughput barrel was $18.21 in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $26.10 during the same period in 2022. The decrease in refining margin of $145 million was primarily due to a decrease in product crack spreads. The Group 3 2-1-1 crack spread decreased by $16.47 per barrel relative to the second quarter of 2022, driven by a tightening distillate crack spread due primarily to recession concerns and slowing demand trends.

    The Petroleum Segment recognized costs to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) of $88 million, or $4.85 per throughput barrel, which excludes the RINs’ revaluation expense impact of $2 million, or 10 cents per total throughput barrel, for the second quarter of 2023. This is compared to RFS compliance costs of $102 million, or $5.55 per throughput barrel, which excludes the RINs’ revaluation expense impact of $51 million, or $2.79 per total throughput barrel, for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in RFS compliance costs in 2023 was primarily related to an increase in RINs generated by ethanol and biodiesel blending for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the 2022 period. The favorable RINs’ revaluation in 2023 was a result of a mark-to-market expense in the current period due to a decline in RIN prices and a lower outstanding obligation in the current period compared to the 2022 period.

    The Petroleum Segment also recognized a second quarter 2023 derivative net gain of $3 million, or 16 cents per total throughput barrel, compared to a derivative net loss of $61 million, or $3.35 per total throughput barrel, for the second quarter of 2022. Included in this derivative net gain for the second quarter of 2023 was a $15 million unrealized loss, primarily a result of crack spread swaps, inventory hedging activity, and Canadian crude forward purchases and sales, compared to a $22 million unrealized loss for the second quarter of 2022. Offsetting these impacts, crude oil prices decreased during the quarter, which led to an unfavorable inventory valuation impact of $21 million, or $1.17 per total throughput barrel, compared to a favorable inventory valuation impact of $37 million, or $2.02 per total throughput barrel, during the second quarter of 2022.

    Second quarter 2023 combined total throughput was approximately 201,000 bpd, compared to approximately 201,000 bpd of combined total throughput for the second quarter of 2022.

    On June 28, 2023, the Company, through one of its indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a crude oil supply agreement (the “Gunvor Crude Oil Supply Agreement”) with Gunvor USA LLC (“Gunvor”), pursuant to which Gunvor will supply certain crude oil and intermediation logistics in connection with deliveries beginning on or about January 1, 2024. The Gunvor Crude Oil Supply Agreement has a term of 24 months, subject to automatic one-year renewals thereafter in the absence of either party providing 180 days’ notice of termination and will replace the Vitol Crude Oil Supply Agreement.

    Nitrogen Fertilizer

    The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment reported an operating income of $67 million on net sales of $183 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to operating income of $126 million on net sales of $244 million for the second quarter of 2022.

    Second quarter 2023 average realized gate prices for urea ammonia nitrate (“UAN”) showed a reduction over the prior year, down 43 percent to $316 per ton, and ammonia was down 40 percent over the prior year to $707 per ton. Average realized gate prices for UAN and ammonia were $555 and $1,182 per ton, respectively, for the second quarter of 2022.

    CVR Partners, LP’s (“CVR Partners”) fertilizer facilities produced a combined 219,000 tons of ammonia during the second quarter of 2023, of which 70,000 net tons were available for sale while the rest was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 339,000 tons of UAN. During the second quarter 2022, the fertilizer facilities produced 193,000 tons of ammonia, of which 50,000 net tons were available for sale while the remainder was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 331,000 tons of UAN. These increases were due to operating reliability after completing the planned turnarounds during the third quarter of 2022.

    Corporate and Other

    The Company reported an income tax expense of $44 million, or 20.9 percent of income before income taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to an income tax expense of $66 million, or 21.5 percent of income before income taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in income tax expense was due primarily to a decrease in pretax earnings.

    The renewable diesel unit at the Wynnewood refinery continued to increase production, with total vegetable oil throughputs for the second quarter of 2023 of approximately 17.8 million gallons, down from 22.4 million gallons in the first quarter of 2023 due to a planned catalyst change.

    Cash, Debt and Dividend

    Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $751 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $241 million from December 31, 2022. Consolidated total debt and finance lease obligations were $1.6 billion at June 30, 2023, including $547 million held by the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment.

    CVR Energy announced a second quarter 2023 cash dividend of 50 cents per share. In addition, the Company announced a special dividend of $1.00 per share. The quarterly and special dividends, as declared by CVR Energy’s Board of Directors, will be paid on August 21, 2023, to stockholders of record as of August 14, 2023.

    Today, CVR Partners announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner declared a second quarter 2023 cash distribution of $4.14 per common unit, which will be paid on August 21, 2023, to common unitholders of record as of August 14, 2023.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance measures, and reconciliations to those measures, to evaluate current and past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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.

    The following are non-GAAP measures we present for the period ended June 30, 2023:

    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 Impacts - Refining Margin adjusted to exclude the impact of current period market price and volume fluctuations on crude oil and refined product inventories purchased in prior periods and lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, if applicable. 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.

    Refining Margin and Refining Margin adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impacts, per Throughput Barrel - Refining Margin and Refining Margin adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impacts 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.

    Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Petroleum EBITDA and Adjusted Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA - EBITDA, Petroleum EBITDA and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA adjusted for certain significant non-cash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our on-going operations or that may obscure our underlying results and trends.

    Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share - Earnings (loss) per share adjusted for certain significant non-cash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our on-going operations or that may obscure our underlying results and trends.

    Free Cash Flow - Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures and capitalized turnaround expenditures.

    Net Debt and Finance Lease Obligations - Net debt and finance lease obligations is total debt and finance lease obligations reduced for cash and cash equivalents.

    Total Debt and Net Debt and Finance Lease Obligations to EBITDA Exclusive of Nitrogen Fertilizer - Total debt and net debt and finance lease obligations is calculated as the consolidated debt and net debt and finance lease obligations less the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s debt and net debt and finance lease obligations as of the most recent period ended divided by EBITDA exclusive of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment for the most recent twelve-month 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 and fertilizer industries, 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” 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 our ammonia utilization rates on a consolidated basis. Utilization is an important measure used by management to assess operational output at each of CVR Partners’ facilities. Utilization is calculated as actual tons produced divided by capacity. We present our utilization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and take into account the impact of our current turnaround cycles on any specific period. 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 our efforts being primarily focused on ammonia upgrade capabilities, this measure provides a meaningful view of how well we operate.

    _____________________________

    (1) The Petroleum Segment’s basis for determining inventory value under GAAP is First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”). 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.
