Dallas, Texas, February 24, 2023‑‑ HF Sinclair Corporation (NYSE:DINO) (“HF Sinclair” or the “Company”) today reported fourth quarter net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders of $587.0 million, or $2.92 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to a net loss of $(39.5) million, or $(0.24) per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Excluding the adjustments shown in the accompanying earnings release table, adjusted net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $597.8 million, or $2.97 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $(17.6) million, or $(0.11) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021.

HF Sinclair’s CEO, Michael Jennings, commented, “HF Sinclair reported strong fourth quarter and full year results, led by solid contributions from our Refining and Lubricants and Specialty Products segments. We delivered on our cash return commitment to shareholders by returning over $1.6 billion in share repurchases and dividends for the full year of 2022, well in excess of our target of $1 billion during the first 12 months post-Sinclair acquisition. We made significant progress on the integration of the acquired Sinclair businesses, realizing over $100 million in annual run-rate synergies, as we transitioned into a stronger, more diversified company. We continued to advance our commitment to sustainability with the completion and commencement of operations of our renewable diesel investments. Despite the tight supply environment in 2022, our continued focus on operational excellence allowed us to safely increase throughputs to meet customer demand for transportation fuels and lubricants.”

Refining segment income before interest and income taxes was $758.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to a loss of $(63.5) million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The segment reported EBITDA of $863.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $25.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily driven by higher refining gross margins in both the West and Mid-Continent regions and higher sales volumes year over year primarily due to the acquisition of the Puget Sound refinery and acquired Sinclair businesses, which resulted in higher refining segment earnings in the quarter. Consolidated refinery gross margin was $23.47 per produced barrel, a 170% increase compared to $8.70 for the fourth quarter of 2021. Despite winter storm impacts in December, crude oil charge averaged 628,160 barrels per day (“BPD”) for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to 421,000 BPD for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Renewables segment loss before interest and income taxes was $(34.7) million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $(27.6) million for the fourth quarter 2021. The segment reported EBITDA of $(16.4) million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $(26.9) million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Excluding the lower of cost or market inventory valuation charge of $9.6 million, segment Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $(6.9) million. Total sales volumes were 54 million gallons for the fourth quarter of 2022. The Cheyenne renewable diesel unit (“RDU”) was mechanically complete in the fourth quarter of 2021 and operational in the first quarter of 2022, the pre-treatment unit (“PTU”) at our Artesia, New Mexico facility was completed and operational in the first quarter of 2022 and the Artesia RDU was completed and operational in the second quarter of 2022. Also, effective with the Sinclair acquisition that closed on March 14, 2022, the Renewables segment includes the Sinclair RDU.
Marketing segment income before interest and income taxes was $16.9 million and reported EBITDA was $23.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Total branded fuel sales volumes were 336 million gallons for the fourth quarter 2022.

Lubricants and Specialty Products segment income before interest and income taxes was $44.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $53.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The segment reported EBITDA of $66.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $74.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. This decrease was largely driven by FIFO impact from consumption of higher priced feedstock inventory.

Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”) reported EBITDA of $88.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $70.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and Adjusted EBITDA of $115.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $79.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, net cash provided by operations totaled $915.0 million. At December 31, 2022, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,665.1 million, a $217.7 million increase over cash and cash equivalents of $1,447.4 million at September 30, 2022.

Additionally, the Company's consolidated debt was $3,255.5 million. The Company's debt, exclusive of HEP debt, which is nonrecourse to HF Sinclair, was $1,699.1 million at December 31, 2022.

Refining Segment Operating Data

The following tables set forth information, including non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) performance measures about our refinery operations. Refinery gross and net operating margins do not include the non-cash effects of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments and depreciation and amortization. Reconciliations to amounts reported under GAAP are provided under “Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” below.

The disaggregation of our refining geographic operating data is presented in two regions, Mid-Continent and West, to best reflect the economic drivers of our refining operations. The Mid-Continent region is comprised of the El Dorado and Tulsa refineries. The West region is comprised of the Puget Sound, Navajo, Woods Cross, Parco and Casper refineries. The Puget Sound refinery was acquired November 1, 2021, and thus is included for the period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. In addition, the refinery operations of the Parco and Casper refineries are included for the period March 14, 2022 (the date of acquisition) through December 31, 2022.

Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

Reconciliations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA excluding special items ("Adjusted EBITDA") to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in financial statements.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, referred to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income (loss) attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders plus (i) income tax provision, (ii) interest expense, net of interest income and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus (i) lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, (ii) gain on sale of real property, (iii) severance costs, (iv) restructuring charges, (v) Cheyenne refinery LIFO inventory liquidation costs, (vi) decommissioning costs, (vii) HF Sinclair's pro-rata share of HEP's share of Osage environmental remediation costs, net of insurance recoveries, (viii) acquisition integration and regulatory costs and (iv) gain on tariff settlement. Adjusted EBITDA does not adjust for proceeds received from business interruption insurance settlements.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculations provided for under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; however, the amounts included in these calculations are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives 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 and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These are presented here because they are widely used financial indicators used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants.

Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted 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 produced barrel sold is total Refining segment revenues less total Refining segment cost of products sold, exclusive of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, divided by sales volumes of produced refined products sold. Net operating margin per barrel sold is the difference between refinery gross margin and refinery operating expenses per produced barrel sold. 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 operations. Other companies in our industry may not calculate these performance measures in the same manner.

Below are reconciliations to our consolidated statements of income for refinery net operating and gross margin and operating expenses, in each case averaged per produced barrel sold. Due to rounding of reported numbers, some amounts may not calculate exactly.
