    • Declared a first quarter 2022 cash dividend of 40 cents per share
    • Will receive $9 million from CVR Partners’ declared first quarter 2022 cash distribution of $2.26 per common unit
    • Completed Wynnewood refinery turnaround on time and on budget
    • Successfully completed conversion and startup of Wynnewood’s renewable diesel unit

    SUGAR LAND, Texas, May 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CVI) today announced net income of $94 million, or 93 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $2.4 billion for the first quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss of $39 million, or 39 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2021. First quarter 2022 EBITDA was $278 million, compared to first quarter 2021 EBITDA of less than $1 million.

    “CVR Energy reported solid results for the 2022 first quarter as the fundamentals for both the refining and fertilizer sectors continued to improve,” said Dave Lamp, CVR Energy’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our Petroleum Segment’s first quarter results were driven by increased crude oil pricing and widening Group 3 2-1-1 crack spreads offset by elevated Renewable Identification Number (RIN) pricing. CVR Energy also announced a first quarter 2022 cash dividend of 40 cents per share and continued to advance its renewables restructuring plan.

    “CVR Partners achieved strong first quarter results led by robust global industry conditions and declared a first quarter 2022 cash distribution of $2.26 per common unit,” Lamp said. “The U.S. spring crop planting season is progressing and we expect industry conditions to remain firm for the remainder of 2022.”

    Petroleum

    The Petroleum Segment reported first quarter 2022 operating income of $130 million on net sales of $2.2 billion, compared to an operating loss of $115 million on net sales of $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2021.

    Refining margin per total throughput barrel was $16.75 in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $3.05 during the same period in 2021. The increase in refining margin of $246 million was primarily due to an increase in product crack spreads and an increase in crude oil prices. The Group 3 2-1-1 crack spread increased by $5.87 per barrel relative to the first quarter of 2021, driven by increasing refined product demand, tight inventory levels and supply concerns due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Throughput volumes improved by 11,251 barrels per day (“bpd”) due to plant outages in the prior period resulting from weather events. Offsetting these impacts, the Petroleum Segment recognized costs to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) of $88 million, or $4.93 per throughput barrel, which excludes the RINs revaluation impact of $19 million, or $1.08 per total throughput barrel, for the first quarter of 2022. This is compared to RFS compliance costs of $66 million, or $3.97 per throughput barrel, which excludes the RINs revaluation impact of $111 million, or $6.65 per total throughput barrel, for the first quarter of 2021. The increase in RFS compliance costs in 2022 was primarily related to higher RIN prices and a higher renewable volume obligation for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the 2021 period. The RINs revaluation impact decreased in 2022 as a result of decreased volatility in RIN prices for the current period. The Petroleum Segment also recognized a first quarter 2022 derivative net gain of $8 million, or 47 cents per total throughput barrel, compared to a derivative loss of $32 million, or $1.90 per total throughput barrel, for the first quarter of 2021. Included in this derivative net gain for the first quarter of 2022 was a $5 million unrealized gain, compared to a $43 million unrealized loss for the first quarter of 2021. Further, crude oil prices rose during the quarter, which led to a favorable inventory valuation impact of $133 million, or $7.51 per total throughout barrel, compared to a favorable inventory valuation impact of $66 million, or $3.93 per total throughput barrel, during the first quarter of 2021.

    First quarter 2022 combined total throughput was approximately 197,000 bpd, compared to approximately 186,000 bpd of combined total throughput for the first quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to improved throughputs as a result of Winter Storm Uri in the prior period.

    Nitrogen Fertilizer

    The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment reported operating income of $104 million on net sales of $223 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to an operating loss of $14 million on net sales of $61 million for the first quarter of 2021.

    First quarter 2022 average realized gate prices for urea ammonia nitrate (“UAN”) showed an improvement over the prior year, up 212 percent to $496 per ton, and ammonia was up 252 percent over the prior year to $1,055 per ton. Average realized gate prices for UAN and ammonia were $159 and $300 per ton, respectively, for the first quarter of 2021.

    CVR Partners, LP’s (“CVR Partners”) fertilizer facilities produced a combined 187,000 tons of ammonia during the first quarter of 2022, of which 52,000 net tons were available for sale while the rest was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 317,000 tons of UAN. During the first quarter 2021, the fertilizer facilities produced 188,000 tons of ammonia, of which 70,000 net tons were available for sale while the remainder was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 272,000 tons of UAN.

    Corporate

    The Company reported an income tax expense of $34 million, or 18.0 percent of income before income taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to an income tax benefit of $42 million, or 43.3 percent of loss before income taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The fluctuation in income tax was due primarily to changes in pretax earnings and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest. The year-over-year decrease in effective income tax rate was due primarily to the relationship between pretax results, earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest and state income taxes generated.

    Cash, Debt and Dividend

    Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $676 million at March 31, 2022, an increase of $166 million from December 31, 2021. Consolidated total debt and finance lease obligations were $1.6 billion at March 31, 2022, including $546 million held by the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment.

    On February 22, 2022, CVR Partners redeemed all of the outstanding $65 million in aggregate principal amount of its 9.25% Senior Secured Notes, due June 2023, at par and settled accrued interest of approximately $1 million through the date of redemption.

    CVR Energy also announced a first quarter 2022 cash dividend of 40 cents per share. The dividend, as declared by CVR Energy’s Board of Directors, will be paid on May 23, 2022, to stockholders of record as of May 13, 2022.

    Today, CVR Partners announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner declared a first quarter 2022 cash distribution of $2.26 per common unit, which will be paid on May 23, 2022, to common unitholders of record as of May 13, 2022.

    Corporate Structure

    On February 22, 2022, in connection with our focus on decarbonization, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a plan to restructure our business to segregate our renewables business. As part of this restructuring, in the first quarter of 2022, we formed 16 new indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries (“NewCos”) of CVR Energy. Over the coming year, the Company intends to evaluate the transfer of certain assets to these NewCos to, among other purposes, better align our organizational structure with management, financial reporting and our goal to maximize our renewables focus. At the present time, we expect the restructuring to be completed during the first quarter of 2023.

    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 financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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.

    The following are non-GAAP measures we present for the period ended March 31, 2022:

    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.

    (1) Reflects our ammonia utilization rates on a consolidated basis. Utilization is an important measure used by management to assess operational output at each of the Partnership’s facilities. Utilization is calculated as actual tons produced divided by capacity. We present our utilization for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and take into account the impact of our current turnaround cycles on any specific period. 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 our efforts being primarily focused on ammonia upgrade capabilities, this measure provides a meaningful view of how well we 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.
