• Increased share repurchase authorization to $1.0 billion
• Repurchased over 8.8 million shares for approximately $346 million, to date
• Reduced consolidated debt by $525 million during the first quarter and $2.8 billion over the last 12 months

PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — PBF Energy Inc. (NYSE:PBF) today reported first quarter 2023 income from operations of $532.4 million as compared to income from operations of $91.0 million for the first quarter of 2022. Excluding special items, first quarter 2023 income from operations was $516.1 million as compared to income from operations of $141.3 million for the first quarter of 2022.

The company reported first quarter 2023 net income of $385.9 million and net income attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $382.1 million or $2.86 per share. This compares to a net loss of $3.3 million, and net loss attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $21.1 million or $(0.18) per share for the first quarter 2022. Non-cash special items included in the first quarter 2023 results, which increased net income by a net, after-tax benefit of $13.3 million, or $0.10 per share, primarily consisted of net changes in the fair value of contingent consideration. Adjusted fully-converted net income for the first quarter 2023, excluding special items, was $371.4 million, or $2.76 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis, as described below, compared to adjusted fully-converted net income of $43.3 million or $0.35 per share, for the first quarter 2022.

Tom Nimbley, PBF Energy’s Chairman and CEO, said, “The first quarter of 2023 continued to build on the momentum generated in 2022. PBF remains focused on operations and the continued improvement to our financial health. During the first quarter, we conducted extensive turnaround work across 75% of our regions. While executing this work, our operations supported further gross debt reductions of $525 million, payment of our dividend and ongoing execution of our increased share repurchase program, which will continue through 2025.” Mr. Nimbley continued, “The strength of our business continues to support the strengthening of our balance sheet and the opportunity for increasing shareholder returns.”

Mr. Nimbley concluded, “Looking ahead, the markets have been chaotic and, as we saw last year, chaos provides for opportunity. While we cannot anticipate where or when, we expect to see market dislocation moving forward. We are focused on ensuring that our refineries are available when those opportunities present themselves. We expect that the market in 2023 will continue to support better than mid-cycle financial results for PBF.”

PBF Energy Inc. Declares Dividend

The company announced today that it will pay a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share of Class A common stock on May 31, 2023, to holders of record at the close of business on May 17, 2023.

St. Bernard Renewables Joint Venture

As announced February 16, 2023, PBF and Eni Sustainable Mobility (“Eni”) have entered into definitive agreements to partner in a 50-50 joint venture, St. Bernard Renewables LLC (“SBR”), which will own the renewable diesel project currently under construction co-located with PBF’s Chalmette refinery in Louisiana. Upon consummation of the transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, Eni will contribute capital totaling $835 million, excluding working capital, plus up to an additional $50 million that is subject to the achievement of project milestones. PBF will continue to manage project execution and will serve as the operator once construction is complete. Transaction consummation is expected in the second or third quarter of 2023.

Strategic Update and Outlook

PBF’s operational and financial performance in 2022, provided stable footing for 2023. Our commitment to safe operations remains primary, and through successful operational execution, the durable improvements and strength of our balance sheet are the next priorities. At quarter-end, we had approximately $1.6 billion of cash. We reduced gross debt during the first quarter through the repayment of the $525 million PBF Logistics LP notes. Over the last twelve months, PBF has reduced consolidated net debt by over $2.8 billion. Our net debt to capitalization was effectively zero at the end of the first quarter. We reduced our outstanding environmental credit payables by approximately $300 million in the first quarter and expect to continue to reduce our environmental credit payables to more normalized levels over the next several quarters. We remain active on the previously announced $500 million share repurchase program and increased the existing authorization by $500 million to a total repurchase authorization of $1 billion. The repurchase authorization has also been extended for one year and will expire December 11, 2025. To date, we have repurchased approximately $346 million of equity, including $22 million in April and May. Our operational execution and balance sheet improvements have generated significant value for our investors in the near-term and, more importantly, demonstrate our commitment to fiscal discipline, long-term value and shareholder returns.

As always, the safety and reliability of our core operations are paramount. We continue investing in all our assets and expect full-year 2023 refining capital expenditures, excluding capital expenditures related to SBR, to be in the $700 – $750 million range.

The Renewable Diesel production unit of the SBR project is mechanically complete, turned over to operations, and the first feedstocks are being introduced in May. The pre-treatment unit remains under construction and is expected to be complete in June. Total projected capital costs for the SBR facility and related project infrastructure are expected to be in the $650 – $700 million range. Total project spend to date is approximately $544 million through the end of the first quarter of 2023.

In 2023, PBF will continue to conduct extensive maintenance and multiple turnarounds across our refining system. Our goal is to sustain safe, reliable and environmentally responsible operations to supply the markets with our vital products. For the remainder of 2023, our current turnaround schedule is as follows, subject to change:

• East Coast – Delaware Coker and Hydrocracker (Spring)
• West Coast – Torrance Hydrocracker (Spring), Torrance FCC/Alky (Fall)

Timing and throughput ranges provided reflect current expectations and are subject to change based on market conditions and other factors. Second quarter throughput expectations are included in the table below.

EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES

FOOTNOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES

(1) Adjusted fully-converted information is presented in this table as management believes that these Non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare our results across the periods presented and facilitates an understanding of our operating results. We also use these measures to evaluate our operating performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The differences between adjusted fully-converted and GAAP results are explained in footnotes 2 through 6.

(2) Represents the elimination of the noncontrolling interest associated with the ownership by the members of PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”) other than PBF Energy Inc., as if such members had fully exchanged their PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy’s Class A common stock.

(3) Represents an adjustment to reflect PBF Energy’s estimated annualized statutory corporate tax rate of approximately 26.0% and 25.9% for the 2023 and 2022 periods, respectively, applied to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for all periods presented. The adjustment assumes the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in footnote 2.

(4) The Non-GAAP measures presented include adjusted fully-converted net income (loss) excluding special items, income (loss) from operations excluding special items, EBITDA excluding special items and gross refining margin excluding special items. Special items for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 relate to net changes in fair value of contingent consideration, changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, gain on land sales, net tax expense on remeasurement of deferred tax assets, and recomputed income tax on special items, all as discussed further below. Additionally, the cumulative effects of all current and prior period special items on equity are shown in footnote 13. 

Although we believe that Non-GAAP financial measures excluding the impact of special items provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the results and performance of our business and allow for useful period-over-period comparisons, such Non-GAAP measures should only be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. 

Special Items: 

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration, net – During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a net change in fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration. This change resulted in an increase to income from operations and net income by $16.3 million and $12.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a change in the estimated fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration which decreased income from operations and net income by $50.3 million and $37.3 million, respectively.

Gain on Land Sales – During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a gain on the sale of a separate parcel of real property acquired as part of the Torrance refinery, but not part of the refinery itself, which increased income from operations and net income by $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. There were no such gains in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Change in Tax Receivable Agreement liability – During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there was no change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability that decreased income before income taxes and net income by $19.3 million and $14.3 million, respectively. The changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability reflect charges or benefits attributable to changes in PBF Energy’s obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement due to factors out of our control such as changes in tax rates, as well as periodic adjustments to our liability based, in part, on an updated estimate of the amounts that we expect to pay, using assumptions consistent with those used in our concurrent estimate of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

Net Tax Expense on Remeasurement of Deferred Tax Assets – The deferred tax valuation allowance was reduced to zero as of December 31, 2022, therefore, there was no impact to our financial statements related to remeasurement of deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a deferred tax valuation allowance of $316.3 million in accordance with ASC 740 (an increase of $7.8 million when compared to December 31, 2021, which includes a tax benefit of approximately $5.0 million related to our net change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and a net tax expense of $12.8 million related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets).

(5) Represents an adjustment to weighted-average diluted shares outstanding to assume the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in footnote 2.

(6) Represents weighted-average diluted shares outstanding assuming the conversion of all common stock equivalents, including options and warrants for PBF LLC Series A Units and performance share units and options for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock as calculated under the treasury stock method (to the extent the impact of such exchange would not be anti-dilutive) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share units and options and warrants to purchase 29,500 and 14,804,565 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A units because they are anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. For periods showing a net loss, all common stock equivalents and unvested restricted stock are considered anti-dilutive.

(7) EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before adjustments for items such as stock-based compensation expense, change in the fair value of catalyst obligations, changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability due to factors out of PBF Energy’s control such as changes in tax rates, net change in the fair value of contingent consideration and certain other non-cash items. We use these Non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to our GAAP results in order to provide additional metrics on factors and trends affecting our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures of operating performance that are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have their limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

(8) We operate in two reportable segments: Refining and Logistics. Our operations that are not included in the Refining and Logistics segments are included in Corporate. As of March 31, 2023, the Refining segment includes the operations of our oil refineries and related facilities in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Martinez, California. The Logistics segment includes the operations of PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Energy and PBF LLC, which owns or leases, operates, develops and acquires crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX’s assets primarily consist of rail and truck terminals and unloading racks, storage facilities and pipelines, a substantial portion of which were acquired from or contributed by PBF LLC and are located at, or nearby, our refineries. PBFX provides various rail, truck and marine terminaling services, pipeline transportation services and storage services to PBF Holding and/or its subsidiaries and third party customers through fee-based commercial agreements.

PBFX currently does not generate significant third party revenue and intersegment related-party revenues are eliminated in consolidation. From a PBF Energy perspective, our chief operating decision maker evaluates the Logistics segment as a whole without regard to any of PBFX’s individual operating segments.

(9) Our market indicators table summarizes certain market indicators relating to our operating results as reported by Platts, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies. Effective RIN basket price is recalculated based on information as reported by Argus.

(10) Gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel of throughput are Non-GAAP measures because they exclude refinery operating expenses, depreciation and amortization and gross margin of PBFX. Gross refining margin per barrel is gross refining margin, divided by total crude and feedstocks throughput. We believe they are important measures of operating performance and provide useful information to investors because gross refining margin per barrel is a helpful metric comparison to the industry refining margin benchmarks shown in the Market Indicators Tables, as the industry benchmarks do not include a charge for refinery operating expenses and depreciation. Other companies in our industry may not calculate gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel in the same manner. Gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel of throughput have their limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

(11) Represents refinery operating expenses, including corporate-owned logistics assets, excluding depreciation and amortization, divided by total crude oil and feedstocks throughput.

(12) We define heavy crude oil as crude oil with American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity less than 24 degrees. We define medium crude oil as crude oil with API gravity between 24 and 35 degrees. We define light crude oil as crude oil with API gravity higher than 35 degrees.

(13) The total debt to capitalization ratio is calculated by dividing total debt by the sum of total debt and total equity. This ratio is a measurement that management believes is useful to investors in analyzing our leverage. Net debt and the net debt to capitalization ratio are Non-GAAP measures. Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from total debt. We believe these measurements are also useful to investors since we have the ability to and may decide to use a portion of our cash and cash equivalents to retire or pay down our debt. Additionally, we have also presented the total debt to capitalization and net debt to capitalization ratios excluding the cumulative effects of special items on equity.
