    Источник: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 22 фев 2022 06:46:58   America/New_York

    • Reported full-year 2021 net income of $25 million and EBITDA of $462 million, despite $435 million in RINs expense due to the broken Renewable Fuel Standard program that we are working diligently to repair.
    • Improved environmental, health and safety performance year-over-year.
    • Paid a special dividend valued at approximately $492 million, an equivalent of $4.89 per share, to CVR Energy stockholders during the second quarter of 2021.
    • CVR Partners declared distributions of $9.89 per common unit for 2021, paid down $30 million in debt in 2021 and expects to pay down another $65 million in debt on February 22, 2022.

    SUGAR LAND, Texas, Feb. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CVI) today announced a fourth quarter 2021 net loss of $14 million, or 14 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $2.1 billion, compared to a fourth quarter 2020 net loss of $67 million, or 67 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1.1 billion. Fourth quarter 2021 EBITDA was $116 million, compared to fourth quarter 2020 EBITDA of $1 million.

    For full-year 2021, the Company reported net income of $25 million, or 25 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $7.2 billion, compared to net loss for full-year 2020 of $256 million, or $2.54 per diluted share, on net sales of $3.9 billion. Full-year 2021 EBITDA was $462 million, compared to full-year 2020 EBITDA loss of $7 million.

    “While our 2021 results reflected positive improvements in crack spreads compared to last year, ridiculously high Renewable Identification Number (“RIN”) prices continued to weigh on our performance,” said Dave Lamp, CVR Energy’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We remain focused on offsetting the impact of this broken program and look forward to the expected startup of Wynnewood’s renewable diesel unit in the second quarter of 2022. We also have taken a large step forward in our focus on decarbonization with approval by our Board of Directors of a comprehensive plan to restructure our business to segregate our renewables operations, which we currently expect to execute over the following year. We believe we are uniquely positioned, given the synergistic relationship between refining and renewables as well as our proximity to the farm belt.

    “CVR Partners achieved solid production during 2021, with a combined ammonia utilization rate of 92 percent,” Lamp said. “Ammonia and UAN pricing continued to strengthen into the 2021 fourth quarter, and we expect the momentum to continue into the spring 2022 planting season, with grain prices near multi-year highs and crop inventory levels near multi-year lows.”

    Petroleum

    The Petroleum Segment reported a fourth quarter 2021 operating loss of $27 million, on net sales of $1.9 billion, compared to a fourth quarter 2020 operating loss of $120 million, on net sales of $1.0 billion.

    Refining margin per total throughput barrel was $7.13 in the fourth quarter 2021, compared to $1.32 during the same period in 2020. The increase in refining margin of $119 million was primarily driven by the 101 percent increase in the Group 3 2-1-1 crack spread caused by improved market demand for refined products in the fourth quarter 2021 compared to the economic downturn and demand destruction observed in the fourth quarter 2020. This was combined with a favorable inventory valuation impact of $17 million, or 85 cents per total throughout barrel, in the fourth quarter 2021 compared to a favorable inventory valuation impact of $15 million, or 76 cents per total throughput barrel, in the fourth quarter of 2020. The Petroleum Segment also recognized a fourth quarter 2021 derivative gain of $2 million, or 9 cents per total throughput barrel, compared to a fourth quarter 2020 derivative loss of $15 million, or 76 cents per total throughput barrel. Included in this derivative gain for the fourth quarter of 2021 was a nominal unrealized gain, compared to a fourth quarter 2020 $23 million unrealized loss. The costs to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) offset the improvements to refining margins resulting in expense of $100 million, or $4.89 per total throughput barrel, in the fourth quarter 2021, which included an additional $9 million revaluation of our RFS liability as of December 31, 2021, compared to an expense of $120 million, or $5.97 per total throughput barrel, in the fourth quarter 2020, which included a $66 million revaluation of our RFS liability as of December 31, 2020.

    Fourth quarter 2021 combined total throughput was approximately 222,000 barrels per day (“bpd”), compared to approximately 219,000 bpd of combined total throughput for the fourth quarter 2020.

    Full-year 2021 operating loss was $27 million, on net sales of $6.7 billion, compared to full-year 2020 operating loss of $281 million, on net sales of $3.6 billion.

    The Petroleum Segment’s refining margin per total throughput barrel for 2021 was $8.14, compared to $4.44 for 2020. The increase in refining margin of $323 million was primarily driven by the 93 percent increase in the Group 3 2-1-1 crack spread caused by improved market demand for refined products in 2021 compared to the economic downturn and demand destruction observed in 2020. This was combined with favorable inventory valuation impacts totaling $127 million, or $1.66 per total throughput barrel, in 2021 driven by increased prices for crude oil and refined products in 2021 compared to 2020. The unfavorable inventory valuation impacts of $58 million in 2020 were driven by lower crude oil prices in the first half of 2020 with some offsetting increases observed through the end of 2020. Offsetting these improvements to refining margin, the Company recognized RINs expense of $435 million, or $5.70 per throughput barrel, and $190 million, or $2.84 per throughput barrel, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, reflecting its costs to comply with the RFS. This was combined with derivative losses of $44 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily a result of unfavorable crack spread swaps, compared to derivative gains of $55 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily resulting from WCS sales.

    Combined total throughput for full-year 2021 improved to approximately 209,000 bpd, compared to approximately 183,000 bpd for full-year 2020.

    Nitrogen Fertilizer

    The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment reported operating income of $72 million on net sales of $189 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to an operating loss of $1 million on net sales of $90 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.

    Fourth quarter 2021 average realized gate prices for urea ammonia nitrate (“UAN”) improved by 150 percent to $347 per ton and ammonia improved by 179 percent to $745 per ton when compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Average realized gate prices for UAN and ammonia were $139 per ton and $267 per ton, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2020.

    CVR Partners’ fertilizer facilities produced a combined 197,000 tons of ammonia during the fourth quarter of 2021, of which 70,000 net tons were available for sale while the rest was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 288,000 tons of UAN. During the fourth quarter 2020, the fertilizer facilities produced 220,000 tons of ammonia, of which 75,000 net tons were available for sale while the remainder was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 335,000 tons of UAN.

    Full-year 2021 operating income was $134 million on net sales of $533 million, compared to an operating loss of $35 million on net sales of $350 million for full-year 2020.

    The average realized gate prices for full-year 2021 for UAN improved by 74 percent to $264 per ton and for ammonia improved 92 percent to $544 per ton when compared to the year ended 2020. Average realized gate prices for UAN and ammonia were $152 per ton and $284 per ton, respectively, for full-year 2020.

    For the year ended 2021, our fertilizer facilities produced a combined 807,000 tons of ammonia, of which 275,000 tons were available for sale, while the rest was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 1,208,000 tons of UAN. For the year ended 2020, the fertilizer facilities produced 852,000 tons of ammonia, of which 303,000 net tons were available for sale, while the remainder was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 1,303,000 tons of UAN.

    Corporate

    The Company reported an income tax benefit of $8 million, or -12.4 percent of income before income taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to an income tax benefit of $95 million, or 23.0 percent of loss before income taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2020. The fluctuation in income tax benefit was due primarily to changes in pretax earnings and pretax earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests between all periods presented. In addition, the change in the effective tax rate was due primarily to reductions in state income tax rates enacted during 2021, changes to pretax earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests and the impact of state income tax credits generated between all periods presented.

    Cash, Debt and Dividend

    Consolidated cash and cash equivalents was $510 million at December 31, 2021. Consolidated total debt and finance lease obligations was $1.7 billion at December 31, 2021, including $611 million held by the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment.

    During the year ended December 31, 2021, CVR Partners repurchased 24,378 of its common units on the open market pursuant to a repurchase program (the “Unit Repurchase Program”) approved by the board of directors of its general partner (the “UAN GP Board”) and in accordance with a repurchase agreement under Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at a cost of $1 million, inclusive of transaction costs, or an average price of $21.70 per common unit. During the year ended December 31, 2020, as adjusted to reflect the impact of the 1-for-10 reverse unit split of CVR Partners’ common units that was effective as of November 23, 2020, CVR Partners repurchased 623,177 common units, respectively, at a cost of $7 million, inclusive of transaction costs, or an average price of $11.35 per common unit. As of December 31, 2021, CVR Partners had $12 million in authority remaining under the Unit Repurchase Program. This Unit Repurchase Program does not obligate CVR Partners to acquire any common units and may be cancelled or terminated by the UAN GP Board at any time.

    On September 23, 2021, and December 22, 2021, CVR Partners redeemed an additional $15 million and $15 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 9.25% Senior Secured Notes due June 2023 (the “2023 UAN Notes”) at par and settled accrued interest of less than $1 million through the date of redemptions. On February 7, 2022, CVR Partners delivered a notice of full redemption for the remaining balance of its 2023 UAN Notes at a par redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the redeemed portion of the 2023 UAN Notes, to be redeemed today, February 22, 2022. As of February 7, 2022, there was outstanding an aggregate principal amount of $65 million of the 2023 UAN Notes.

    On September 30, 2021, CVR Partners entered into a new credit agreement with an aggregate principal amount of up to $35 million with a maturity date of September 30, 2024 (the “Nitrogen Fertilizer ABL”) and terminated its $35 million ABL Credit Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2016, as amended (the “UAN 2016 ABL Credit Agreement”). The Nitrogen Fertilizer ABL has substantially similar terms as the UAN 2016 ABL Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the Nitrogen Fertilizer ABL may be used to fund working capital, capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes.

    CVR Energy will not pay a cash dividend for the 2021 fourth quarter.

    Today, CVR Partners announced that the UAN GP Board declared a fourth quarter 2021 cash distribution of $5.24 per common unit, which will be paid on March 14, 2022, to common unitholders of record as of March 7, 2022.

    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 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.

    As a result of volatile market conditions related to the RFS during the first half of 2021 and the impacts certain significant non-cash items have on the evaluation of our operations, the Company began disclosing Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, in the second quarter of 2021. We believe the presentation of this non-GAAP measure is meaningful to compare our operating results between periods and peer companies. All prior periods presented have been conformed to the definition below. The following are non-GAAP measures we presented for the year ended December 31, 2021:

    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.

    Factors Affecting Comparability of Our Financial Results

    Our historical results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable with prior periods or to our results of operations in the future for the reasons discussed below.

    Petroleum Segment

    Coffeyville Refinery - The Coffeyville Refinery’s next planned turnaround is expected to start in the spring of 2023, with pre-planning expenditures of $5 million expected to be incurred during 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we capitalized costs of $155 million related to the planned turnaround which began in February 2020 and was completed in April 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2019, our Coffeyville Refinery capitalized costs of $15 million related to preparations for the same planned turnaround.

    Wynnewood Refinery - The next planned turnaround for the Wynnewood Refinery is in the spring of 2022. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we capitalized $7 million related to pre-planning activities at the Wynnewood Refinery. During the first quarter of 2019, the second phase of the fourth quarter 2017 turnaround on the Wynnewood Refinery hydrocracking unit was completed and $24 million was capitalized.

    Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment

    Coffeyville Fertilizer Facility - The next planned turnaround at the Coffeyville Fertilizer Facility is expected to occur in the summer of 2022. Additionally, the Coffeyville Fertilizer Facility had planned downtime for certain maintenance activities, which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2021 at a cost of $2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we also incurred less than $1 million for the Coffeyville Fertilizer Facility expected turnaround in the summer of 2022.

    East Dubuque Fertilizer Facility - The next planned turnaround at the East Dubuque Fertilizer Facility is expected to occur in the summer of 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred approximately $1 million in turnaround expense related to planning for the East Dubuque Fertilizer Facility’s expected turnaround in the summer of 2022.

    Goodwill Impairment

    As a result of lower expectations for market conditions in the fertilizer industry during 2020, the market performance of CVR Partners’ common units, a qualitative analysis, and additional risks associated with the business, CVR Partners performed an interim quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill for the Coffeyville Facility reporting unit as of June 30, 2020. The results of the impairment test indicated the carrying amount of this reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value, and a full, non-cash impairment charge of $41.0 million was required.

    (1)Reflects ammonia utilization rates on a consolidated basis and at each of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s 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)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.
    (2)Includes an inventory valuation charge of $58 million recorded in the first quarter of 2020, as inventories were reflected at the lower of cost or net realizable value. No such charge was recognized in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2021 or the 2020 periods.
