Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE: VLO, “Valero”) today reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $463 million, or $1.13 per share, for the third quarter of 2021, compared to a net loss of $464 million, or $1.14 per share, for the third quarter of 2020. Excluding the adjustments shown in the accompanying earnings release tables, third quarter 2021 adjusted net income attributable to Valero stockholders was $500 million, or $1.22 per share, compared to an adjusted net loss attributable to Valero stockholders of $472 million, or $1.16 per share, for the third quarter of 2020.

Refining

The refining segment reported $835 million of operating income for the third quarter of 2021, compared to a $629 million operating loss for the third quarter of 2020. Third quarter 2021 adjusted operating income was $853 million, compared to an adjusted operating loss of $575 million for the third quarter of 2020. Refinery throughput volumes averaged 2.9 million barrels per day in the third quarter of 2021, which was 338 thousand barrels per day higher than the third quarter of 2020.

“We saw significant improvement in refining margins in the third quarter as economic activity and mobility continued to recover in key markets,” said Joe Gorder, Valero Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The continued improvement in earnings of our refining business, coupled with the ongoing expansion of our renewables businesses, should strengthen our competitive advantage and drive long-term shareholder returns.”

Renewable Diesel

The renewable diesel segment, which consists of the Diamond Green Diesel (DGD) joint venture, reported $108 million of operating income for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $184 million for the third quarter of 2020. Renewable diesel sales volumes averaged 671 thousand gallons per day in the third quarter of 2021, which was 199 thousand gallons per day lower than the third quarter of 2020. The lower operating income and sales volumes in the third quarter of 2021 are primarily attributed to plant downtime due to Hurricane Ida.

Ethanol

The ethanol segment reported a $44 million operating loss for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $22 million of operating income for the third quarter of 2020. Excluding the adjustments shown in the accompanying earnings release tables, third quarter 2021 adjusted operating income was $4 million, compared to $36 million for the third quarter of 2020. Ethanol production volumes averaged 3.6 million gallons per day in the third quarter of 2021, which was 175 thousand gallons per day lower than the third quarter of 2020.

Corporate and Other

General and administrative expenses were $195 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $186 million in the third quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2021 was 11 percent, which reflects the benefit from the portion of DGD’s net income that is not taxable to Valero.

Investing and Financing Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2021. Included in this amount was a $379 million favorable impact from working capital and $59 million associated with our joint venture partner’s share of DGD’s net cash provided by operating activities, excluding changes in DGD’s working capital. Excluding these items, adjusted net cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 billion.

Capital investments totaled $585 million in the third quarter of 2021, of which $191 million was for sustaining the business, including costs for turnarounds, catalysts and regulatory compliance. Excluding capital investments attributable to our partner’s 50 percent share of DGD and those related to other variable interest entities, capital investments attributable to Valero were $392 million.

Valero returned $400 million to stockholders through dividends for a payout ratio of 40 percent of adjusted net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter of 2021.

Valero continues to target a long-term total payout ratio between 40 and 50 percent of adjusted net cash provided by operating activities. Valero defines total payout ratio as the sum of dividends and stock buybacks divided by net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for changes in working capital and DGD’s net cash provided by operating activities, excluding changes in its working capital, attributable to our joint venture partner’s ownership interest in DGD.

Valero redeemed the entire outstanding principal amount of its $575 million Floating Rate Senior Notes due in 2023 at par value, plus accrued and unpaid interest on September 27, 2021.

Liquidity and Financial Position

Valero ended the third quarter of 2021 with $14.2 billion of total debt and finance lease obligations and $3.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents. The debt to capitalization ratio, net of cash and cash equivalents, was 37 percent as of September 30, 2021.

Strategic Update

The Diamond Green Diesel expansion project at Valero’s St. Charles refinery (DGD 2), which increases renewable diesel production capacity by 400 million gallons per year, was completed in the third quarter and is in the process of starting up.

“We are excited to report that the Diamond Green Diesel expansion project at Valero’s St. Charles refinery was successfully completed on-budget and ahead of schedule,” said Gorder. “This is a testament to the strength of our engineering and operations teams, who got this accomplished despite Hurricane Ida related challenges.”

The new DGD plant at Valero’s Port Arthur refinery (DGD 3), which is expected to have a renewable diesel production capacity of 470 million gallons per year, is progressing well and is still expected to commence operations in the first half of 2023, increasing DGD’s total annual production capacity to approximately 1.2 billion gallons of renewable diesel and 50 million gallons of renewable naphtha.

The large-scale carbon sequestration project with BlackRock and Navigator is also progressing on schedule. Navigator has received the necessary board approvals to proceed with the carbon capture pipeline system as a result of a successful binding open season. Valero is expected to be the anchor shipper with eight of Valero’s ethanol plants connected to this system, producing a lower carbon intensity ethanol product to be marketed in low-carbon fuel markets that is expected to result in a higher product margin.

Refinery optimization projects that are expected to reduce cost and improve margin capture are progressing on schedule. The Pembroke Cogeneration Unit, which is expected to provide an efficient and reliable source of electricity and steam, was completed and commissioned in the third quarter of 2021. The Port Arthur Coker project, which is expected to increase the refinery’s utilization rate and improve turnaround efficiency, is still expected to be completed in 2023.

Capital investments attributable to Valero are forecasted to be $2.0 billion in 2021, of which approximately 60 percent is for sustaining the business and approximately 40 percent is for growth projects. Over 60 percent of Valero’s 2021 growth capital is allocated to expanding the renewable diesel business.

Conference Call

Valero’s senior management will hold a conference call at 10 a.m. ET today to discuss this earnings release and to provide an update on operations and strategy.

NOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES

 

(a)

In mid-February 2021, many of our refineries and plants were impacted to varying extents by the severe cold, utility disruptions, and higher energy costs arising out of Winter Storm Uri. The higher energy costs resulted from an increase in the prices of natural gas and electricity that significantly exceeded rates that we consider normal, such as the average rates we incurred the month preceding the storm. As a result, our operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes estimated excess energy costs of $579 million ($1.15 per share).

 

The above-mentioned pre-tax estimated excess energy charge is reflected in our statement of income line items and attributable to our reportable segments for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as follows (in millions):

(b)

Cost of materials and other for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes a charge of $326 million for the impact of an expected liquidation of LIFO inventory layers attributable to our refining segment. Our inventory levels decreased throughout the first nine months of 2020 due to lower demand for our products resulting from the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. Consequently, we expected our inventory levels at December 31, 2020 would remain below their December 31, 2019 levels.

 

 

(c)

The market value of our inventories accounted for under the LIFO method fell below their historical cost on an aggregate basis as of March 31, 2020. As a result, we recorded an LCM inventory valuation adjustment of $2.5 billion in March 2020. The market value of our LIFO inventories improved due to the subsequent recovery in market prices, which resulted in a reversal of $2.2 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the remaining amount in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Of the $313 million benefit recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2020, $296 million and $17 million is attributable to our refining and ethanol segments, respectively. The LCM inventory valuation adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflects a net benefit of $19 million due solely to the foreign currency translation effect of the portion of the LCM inventory valuation adjustments attributable to our international operations.

 

(d)

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 includes accelerated depreciation of $48 million and $30 million, respectively, related to changes in the estimated useful lives of two of our ethanol plants.

 

 

(e)

On April 19, 2021, we sold a 24.99 percent membership interest in MVP Terminalling, LLC (MVP), an unconsolidated joint venture with a subsidiary of Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P., for $270 million. “Other income, net” for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes a gain on the sale of $62 million.

 

 

 

“Other income, net” for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 also includes a $24 million charge representing our portion of the asset impairment loss recognized by Diamond Pipeline LLC, an unconsolidated joint venture with a subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., resulting from the joint venture’s cancellation of its pipeline extension project.

 

 

(f)

Certain statutory tax rate changes were enacted during the second quarter of 2021 (primarily an increase in the U.K. rate from 19 percent to 25 percent effective in 2023), which resulted in the remeasurement of our deferred tax liabilities. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we are required to recognize the effect of a change in tax law in the period of enactment. As a result, we recognized income tax expense of $64 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which represents the net increase in our deferred tax liabilities resulting from the changes in the tax rates.

 

 

(g)

Common equivalent shares have been excluded from the computation of loss per common share – assuming dilution and adjusted loss per common share – assuming dilution for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, as the effect of including such shares is antidilutive.

 

 

(h)

We use certain financial measures (as noted below) in the earnings release tables and accompanying earnings release that are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are considered to be non-GAAP measures.

 

 

 

We have defined these non-GAAP measures and believe they are useful to the external users of our financial statements, including industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We believe these measures are useful to assess our ongoing financial performance because, when reconciled to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures, they provide improved comparability between periods after adjusting for certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and that may obscure our underlying business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures nor should they be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define them differently, which diminishes their utility.

 

 

 

Non-GAAP measures are as follows:

 

 

 

  • Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders adjusted to reflect the items noted below, along with their related income tax effect. The income tax effect for the adjustments was calculated using a combined federal and state statutory rate for the U.S.-based adjustments of 22 percent and a local statutory income tax rate for foreign-based adjustments. We have adjusted for these items because we believe that they are not indicative of our core operating performance and that their adjustment results in an important measure of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our underlying business results and trends. The basis for our belief with respect to each adjustment is provided below.

 

Gain on sale of MVP interest – The gain on the sale of a 24.99 percent membership interest in MVP (see note (e)) is not indicative of our ongoing operations.

 

 

 

Diamond Pipeline asset impairment – The asset impairment loss related to the cancellation of a capital project associated with Diamond Pipeline LLC (see note (e)) is not indicative of our ongoing operations.

 

 

 

Changes in estimated useful lives – The accelerated depreciation recognized as a result of changes in the estimated useful lives of two of our ethanol plants (see note (d)) is not indicative of our ongoing operations.

 

 

 

Income tax expense related to changes in statutory tax rates – The income tax expense related to changes in certain statutory tax rates (see note (f)) is not indicative of income tax expense associated with the pre-tax results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

 

 

LIFO liquidation adjustment – Generally, the LIFO inventory valuation method provides for the matching of current costs with current revenues. However, a LIFO liquidation results in a portion of our current-year cost of sales being impacted by historical costs, which obscures our current-year financial performance. Therefore, we have excluded the historical cost impact from adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders. See note (b) for additional details.

 

 

 

LCM inventory valuation adjustment – The LCM inventory valuation adjustment, which is described in note (c), is the result of the market value of our inventories as of March 31, 2020 falling below their historical cost, with the decline in market value resulting from the decline in crude oil and product market prices associated with the negative economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. As market prices improved over the subsequent months, we reversed the writedown. The adjustment obscures our financial performance because it does not result from decisions made by us; therefore, we have excluded the adjustment from adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders.

 

 

 

  • Adjusted earnings (loss) per common share – assuming dilution is defined as adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders divided by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding in the applicable period, assuming dilution (see note (g)).

 

  • Refining margin is defined as refining segment operating income (loss) excluding the LIFO liquidation adjustment (see note (b)), the LCM inventory valuation adjustment (see note (c)), operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating expenses. We believe refining margin is an important measure of our refining segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance.

 

  • Renewable diesel margin is defined as renewable diesel segment operating income excluding operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating expenses. We believe renewable diesel margin is an important measure of our renewable diesel segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance.

 

  • Ethanol margin is defined as ethanol segment operating income (loss) excluding the LCM inventory valuation adjustment (see note (c)), operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating expenses. We believe ethanol margin is an important measure of our ethanol segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance.

 

  • Adjusted refining operating income (loss) is defined as refining segment operating income (loss) excluding the LIFO liquidation adjustment (see note (b)), the LCM inventory valuation adjustment (see note (c)), and other operating expenses. We believe adjusted refining operating income (loss) is an important measure of our refining segment’s operating and financial performance because it excludes items that are not indicative of that segment’s core operating performance.

 

  • Adjusted renewable diesel operating income is defined as renewable diesel segment operating income excluding other operating expenses. We believe adjusted renewable diesel operating income is an important measure of our renewable diesel segment’s operating and financial performance because it excludes an item that is not indicative of that segment’s core operating performance.

 

  • Adjusted ethanol operating income (loss) is defined as ethanol segment operating income (loss) excluding the changes in estimated useful lives (see note (d)), the LCM inventory valuation adjustment (see note (c)), and other operating expenses. We believe adjusted ethanol operating income (loss) is an important measure of our ethanol segment’s operating and financial performance because it excludes items that are not indicative of that segment’s core operating performance.

 

  • Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding the items noted below. We believe adjusted net cash provided by operating activities is an important measure of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our ability to generate cash to fund our investing and financing activities. The basis for our belief with respect to each excluded item is provided below.

 

Changes in current assets and current liabilities – Current assets net of current liabilities represents our operating liquidity. We believe that the change in our operating liquidity from period to period does not represent cash generated by our operations that is available to fund our investing and financing activities.

 

 

 

DGD’s adjusted net cash provided by operating activities attributable to our joint venture partner’s ownership interest in DGD – We are a 50/50 joint venture partner in DGD and we consolidate DGD’s financial statements. Our renewable diesel segment includes the operations of DGD and the associated activities to market renewable diesel. Because we consolidate DGD’s financial statements, all of DGD’s net cash provided by operating activities (or operating cash flow) is included in our consolidated net cash provided by operating activities.

 

 

 

DGD’s partners use DGD’s operating cash flow (excluding changes in its current assets and current liabilities) to fund its capital investments rather than distribute all of that cash to themselves. Nevertheless, DGD’s operating cash flow is effectively attributable to each partner and only 50 percent of DGD’s operating cash flow should be attributed to our net cash provided by operating activities. Therefore, we have adjusted our net cash provided by operating activities for the portion of DGD’s operating cash flow attributable to our joint venture partner’s ownership interest because we believe that it more accurately reflects the operating cash flow available to us to fund our investing and financing activities. The adjustment is calculated as follows (in millions):

  • Capital investments attributable to Valero is defined as all capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures, and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows, excluding the portion of DGD’s capital investments attributable to our joint venture partner and all of the capital expenditures of VIEs other than DGD.



    DGD’s partners use DGD’s operating cash flow (excluding changes in its current assets and current liabilities) to fund its capital investments rather than distribute all of that cash to themselves. Because DGD’s operating cash flow is effectively attributable to each partner, only 50 percent of DGD’s capital investments should be attributed to our net share of total capital investments. We also exclude the capital expenditures of our consolidated VIEs other than DGD because we do not operate those VIEs. We believe capital investments attributable to Valero is an important measure because it more accurately reflects our capital investments.
 

(i)

The refining segment regions reflected herein contain the following refineries: U.S. Gulf Coast- Corpus Christi East, Corpus Christi West, Houston, Meraux, Port Arthur, St. Charles, Texas City, and Three Rivers Refineries; U.S. Mid Continent- Ardmore, McKee, and Memphis Refineries; North Atlantic- Pembroke and Quebec City Refineries; and U.S. West Coast- Benicia and Wilmington Refineries.

 

 

(j)

Primarily includes petrochemicals, gas oils, No. 6 fuel oil, petroleum coke, sulfur, and asphalt.

 

 

(k)

Valero uses certain operating statistics (as noted below) in the earnings release tables and the accompanying earnings release to evaluate performance between comparable periods. Different companies may calculate them in different ways.

 

 

 

All per barrel of throughput, per gallon of sales, and per gallon of production amounts are calculated by dividing the associated dollar amount by the throughput volumes, sales volumes, and production volumes for the period, as applicable.

 

 

 

Throughput volumes, sales volumes, and production volumes are calculated by multiplying throughput volumes per day, sales volumes per day, and production volumes per day (as provided in the accompanying tables), respectively, by the number of days in the applicable period. We use throughput volumes, sales volumes, and production volumes for the refining segment, renewable diesel segment, and ethanol segment, respectively, due to their general use by others who operate facilities similar to those included in our segments. We believe the use of such volumes results in per unit amounts that are most representative of the product margins generated and the operating costs incurred as a result of our operation of those facilities.
