• Improved financial flexibility with $689 million cash balance at December 31, 2016
  • Closed retail transaction in November generating net cash proceeds before taxes of $379 million
  • Announced a definitive agreement in January to acquire remaining interest in Alon; Combination to create premier Permian Basin refining system

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Feb. 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Delek US Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DK) (“Delek US”) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016. Delek US reported fourth quarter net income of $44.2 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $(31.5) million, or $(0.51) per basic share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.  On an adjusted basis, Delek US reported a net loss of $(27.7) million, or $(0.44) per basic share for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to a net loss of $(4.3) million, or $(0.07) per basic share on an adjusted basis in the prior year period.  The adjustments for fourth quarter 2016 include, along with other items, an after-tax gain of $80.6 million, or $1.30 per share, from the sale of the retail related assets that closed in November 2016.  Reconciliations of GAAP earnings to adjusted earnings are included in the financial tables attached to this release.

For the full year 2016, Delek US reported a net loss of $(153.7) million, or $(2.49) per basic share, compared to net income of $19.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted share in 2015. On an adjusted basis, the net loss was $(97.5) million, or $(1.58) per basic share in 2016, compared to net income of $60.4 million, or $0.98 per diluted share in 2015. This change in the adjusted results on a year-over-year basis was primarily due to a lower Gulf Coast 5-3-2 crack spread that averaged $9.12 per barrel in 2016 compared to $14.68 per barrel in 2015, combined with higher costs related to RINs and lower crude oil price differentials during 2016.

On November 14, 2016, Delek US closed the previously announced transaction to sell its retail related assets to a U.S. subsidiary of Compañía de Petróleos de Chile COPEC S.A. (SNSE:COPEC). Net cash proceeds before taxes related to this transaction were approximately $379 million and the estimated income tax payment related to this transaction should occur in the first half of 2017. This transaction improved Delek US’ financial flexibility, as the cash balance increased to $689 million at December 31, 2016, compared to $315.3 million at September 30, 2016.

On a year-over-year basis during the fourth quarter, lower results were primarily due to a decline in performance in the refining segment. From a market standpoint, a combination of a timing effect from an increasing crude oil price environment in the fourth quarter 2016 that reduced margin realization and continued pressure in the wholesale business on netbacks across terminals, were factors in the year-over-year change. General and administrative expenses increased on a year-over-year basis primarily due to transaction-related expenses of approximately $5.5 million in the fourth quarter 2016, compared to the prior year period that was reduced by approximately $6.4 million related to a litigation settlement. Partially offsetting these factors was a higher crack spread environment.

Uzi Yemin, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Delek US stated, “We are moving forward with the next stage of our growth to complete the acquisition of the remaining outstanding common stock of Alon. This combination will create a refining company with approximately 300,000 barrels per day of crude throughput capacity and current logistical access to approximately 200,000 barrels per day of Permian Basin sourced crude. In addition, we should be able to unlock approximately $78 million of logistics EBITDA through future potential dropdowns and use our logistics platform to support the larger Permian based system created by this transaction. We believe that the closing of this strategic combination will result in a larger, more diverse company that is well positioned to take advantage of opportunities in the market and better navigate the cyclical nature of our business.”

Yemin concluded, “We look forward to 2017, the combination of increased drilling activity in the Permian Basin that may improve crude oil differentials, contribution from our joint venture crude oil pipelines in logistics and the potential to create approximately $95 million of synergies from the combined company should benefit our operations. We remain focused on creating long-term shareholder value as we take the next step in the growth of Delek US.”

Alon Investment Update
On January 3, 2017, Delek US announced that it reached a definitive agreement, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory and shareholder approvals, under which Delek US will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Alon USA Energy, Inc. (NYSE:ALJ) (“Alon”) common stock which Delek US does not already own in an all-stock transaction. Delek US currently owns approximately 33.7 million shares of common stock of Alon. Under terms of the agreement, the owners of the remaining outstanding shares in Alon will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 0.5040 Delek US shares for each share of Alon.  This transaction is subject to approval of both Delek US’ and Alon’s shareholders.

This transaction was unanimously approved by the Special Committee of Alon’s Board of Directors and by the Board of Directors of Delek US. Additionally, the Board of Directors of Alon approved the transaction, excluding Delek employed directors who abstained from voting on the transaction. The combination is expected to create a company with a strong financial position and significant access to the Permian Basin.

At December 31, 2016, Delek US owned approximately 47 percent of the outstanding stock of Alon, which was acquired in May 2015. The loss from the equity investment in Alon was $(9.2) million in the fourth quarter 2016 compared to $(21.8) million in the fourth quarter 2015. In the fourth quarter 2015, the loss from the equity investment in Alon included $18.7 million related to a goodwill impairment at Alon and the effect of a scheduled turnaround at Alon’s Krotz Springs refinery.

Regular Quarterly Dividend
Delek US announced today that its Board of Directors had declared its regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share. Shareholders of record on March 15, 2017 will receive this cash dividend payable on March 29, 2017.

Liquidity
As of December 31, 2016, Delek US had a cash balance of $689.2 million and total consolidated debt of $832.9 million, resulting in net debt of $143.7 million.  As of December 31, 2016, Delek US’ subsidiary, Delek Logistics Partners, LP (NYSE:DKL) (“Delek Logistics”), had $392.6 million of debt, which is included in the consolidated amounts on Delek US’ balance sheet. Excluding Delek Logistics, Delek US had approximately $689.1 million in cash and $440.3 million of debt, or a $248.8 million net cash position.

Refining Segment
Refining segment contribution margin was $(3.6) million in the fourth quarter 2016 compared to $11.3 million in the fourth quarter 2015. On a year-over-year basis several factors affected performance at the refineries.  First, an increasing crude oil price environment in the fourth quarter 2016 resulted in a timing effect that lowered margins at both refineries. Second, the El Dorado margin was further reduced by an adverse inventory market valuation effect and asphalt performance. Third, RINs continued to affect the netbacks across terminals in the wholesale system compared to the prior year period reducing margin realizations.  Finally, the fourth quarter 2016 included a net hedging loss of $(17.0) million compared to a $(2.0) million hedging loss in the prior year period and there was a $12.2 million lower benefit in the quarter from the bio-diesel tax credit on a year-over-year basis.

While the Tyler refinery contribution margin improved on a year-over-year basis, the El Dorado refinery contribution margin declined by approximately $21.8 million on a year-over-year basis. This decline was primarily due to reduced performance from asphalt, as sales prices lagged during a period of increasing crude oil prices and an adverse inventory effect associated with asphalt and El Dorado’s supply and offtake agreement, which on a combined basis accounted for approximately $16.1 million of the year-over-year decline. Market changes in January 2017 resulted in an inventory effect that was a benefit to margins as compared to the fourth quarter 2016 results. With the approaching construction season, asphalt demand should increase, which may translate into an improved pricing environment during a period of higher seasonal demand.

These factors were partially offset by a Gulf Coast 5-3-2 crack spread that increased to $9.26 per barrel for the fourth quarter 2016, compared to $8.78 per barrel for the same period in 2015 and lower operating expenses during the fourth quarter 2016. In addition, there was an inventory benefit of $6.3 million in the fourth quarter 2016 compared to a charge of $14.0 million in the prior year period.  This benefit from inventory was primarily at the Tyler refinery and was partially offset by an adverse inventory effect associated with asphalt and the supply and offtake agreement at El Dorado.  The inventory breakdown by refinery is included in the attached financial tables. Also, lower RINs expense was a positive factor on a year-over-year basis due to a true up charge for prior periods that occurred in the fourth quarter 2015.

The Midland WTI crude differential to Cushing WTI averaged a $0.24 per barrel discount in fourth quarter 2016 compared to an average premium of $0.02 per barrel in the fourth quarter 2015. In addition, contango in the oil futures market decreased to $0.89 per barrel in the fourth quarter 2016, compared to contango of $0.92 per barrel in the fourth quarter 2015. The combination of the Midland discount and contango reduced the average crude oil price per barrel.

During the fourth quarter 2016, approximately $6.1 million of income was recognized in the refining segment from a $1 per gallon bio-diesel blenders federal tax credit that was recognized each period during 2016. This compares to $18.3 million of income that was recognized in the fourth quarter 2015 from a $1 per gallon bio-diesel blenders federal tax credit that was approved in December 2015 on a retroactive basis for calendar 2015. This difference played a role in the change in the adjusted refining margin per barrel on a year-over-year basis, as the Tyler refinery included $10.3 million and the El Dorado refinery included $8.1 million of benefit in the fourth quarter 2015. In the fourth quarter 2016 the $6.1 million bio-diesel tax credit remained with the renewables operations and was not included in the margin at each refinery.

RINs expense related to blending obligations was approximately $10.0 million in the fourth quarter 2016, compared to $14.2 million in the prior year period.  In the fourth quarter 2015, the RINs expense increased by approximately $6.3 million due to a true up charge for 2014 and the first nine months of 2015 following the announcement of new blending standards by the Environmental Protection Agency.

In the fourth quarter 2016, operating expenses in the refining segment decreased to $52.8 million from $57.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease at both refineries was primarily due to lower outside services and variable costs.

Logistics Segment

Delek US and its affiliates beneficially own approximately 63 percent (including the 2 percent general partner interest) of all outstanding Delek Logistics units. The logistics segment’s results include 100 percent of the performance of Delek Logistics and adjustments for the non-controlling interests are made on a consolidated basis.

On a year-over-year basis, segment contribution margin in the fourth quarter 2016 increased to $27.1 million compared to $26.3 million in the fourth quarter 2015. This change was primarily due to an increase in west Texas gross margin and lower operating expenses, which was partially offset by lower volume in the SALA gathering system and reduced performance from the Paline Pipeline.

(3) Adjusted refining margin per barrel is presented to provide a measure to evaluate performance excluding inventory valuation adjustments, hedging (realized and unrealized) gains and losses, and other items at the individual refinery level. Delek US believes that the presentation of adjusted measures provides useful information to investors in assessing its results of operations at each refinery. Because adjusted refining margin per barrel may be defined differently by other companies in its industry, Delek US’ definition may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
