    来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 01 5月 2023 16:09:27   America/Chicago

    SUGAR LAND, Texas, May 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CVI) today announced net income of $195 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, on net sales of $2.3 billion for the first quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $94 million, or 93 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $2.4 billion for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted earnings for the first quarter of 2023 was $1.44 per diluted share compared to adjusted earnings of 2 cents per diluted share in the first quarter of 2022, primarily driven by improved crack spreads. First quarter 2023 EBITDA was $401 million, compared to first quarter 2022 EBITDA of $278 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2023 was $334 million, up from $155 million in the first quarter of 2022.

    “CVR Energy reported solid results for the first quarter 2023 including the impacts of scheduled downtime related to the Coffeyville refinery’s coker turnaround,” said Dave Lamp, CVR Energy’s Chief Executive Officer. “The Petroleum Segment’s results were driven by continued strong diesel cracks and improved gasoline cracks. The Wynnewood Renewable Diesel Unit processed approximately 23 million gallons of bean oil during the quarter. In addition, the Company continued progress on Wynnewood’s Pre-Treatment Unit, currently expected to be in service in the third quarter 2023. CVR Energy also announced a 2023 first quarter cash dividend of 50 cents per share.

    “CVR Partners achieved strong results for the first quarter 2023 driven by record production offset somewhat by lower fertilizer pricing during the quarter,” Lamp said. “CVR Partners declared a 2023 first quarter cash distribution of $10.43 per common unit.”

    Petroleum

    The Petroleum Segment reported first quarter 2023 operating income of $237 million on net sales of $2.0 billion, compared to operating income of $130 million on net sales of $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2022.

    Refining margin per total throughput barrel was $23.24 in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $16.75 during the same period in 2022. The increase in refining margin of $114 million was primarily due to an increase in product crack spreads. The Group 3 2-1-1 crack spread increased by $11.96 per barrel relative to the first quarter of 2022, driven by tight inventory levels and supply concerns due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

    The Petroleum Segment recognized costs to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) of $95 million, or $5.36 per throughput barrel, which excludes the RINs’ revaluation benefit impact of $56 million, or $3.17 per total throughput barrel, for the first quarter of 2023. This is compared to RFS compliance costs of $88 million, or $4.93 per throughput barrel, which excludes the RINs’ revaluation expense impact of $19 million, or $1.08 per total throughput barrel, for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in RFS compliance costs in 2023 was primarily related to a higher renewable volume obligation (“RVO”) for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the 2022 period. The favorable RINs’ revaluation in 2023 was a result of a mark-to-market benefit in the current quarter due to a decline in RIN prices and a lower outstanding obligation in the current period compared to the 2022 period.

    The Petroleum Segment also recognized a first quarter 2023 derivative net gain of $39 million, or $2.20 per total throughput barrel, compared to a derivative net gain of $8 million, or 47 cents per total throughput barrel, for the first quarter of 2022. Included in this derivative net gain for the first quarter of 2023 was a $31 million unrealized gain primarily a result of inventory hedging activity, Canadian crude oil forwards and sales, and crack spread swaps, compared to a $5 million unrealized gain for the first quarter of 2022. Offsetting these impacts, crude oil prices decreased during the quarter, which led to an unfavorable inventory valuation impact of $12 million, or 67 cents per total throughput barrel, compared to a favorable inventory valuation impact of $133 million, or $7.51 per total throughput barrel, during the first quarter of 2022.

    First quarter 2023 combined total throughput was approximately 196,000 bpd, compared to approximately 197,000 bpd of combined total throughput for the first quarter of 2022.

    Nitrogen Fertilizer

    The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment reported an operating income of $109 million on net sales of $226 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to operating income of $104 million on net sales of $223 million for the first quarter of 2022.

    First quarter 2023 average realized gate prices for urea ammonia nitrate (“UAN”) showed a reduction over the prior year, down 8 percent to $457 per ton, and ammonia was down 16 percent over the prior year to $888 per ton. Average realized gate prices for UAN and ammonia were $496 and $1,055 per ton, respectively, for the first quarter of 2022.

    CVR Partners, LP’s (“CVR Partners”) fertilizer facilities produced a combined 224,000 tons of ammonia during the first quarter of 2023, of which 62,000 net tons were available for sale while the rest was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 366,000 tons of UAN. During the first quarter 2022, the fertilizer facilities produced 187,000 tons of ammonia, of which 52,000 net tons were available for sale while the remainder was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 317,000 tons of UAN. These increases were due to operating reliability after completing the planned turnarounds during the third quarter of 2022.

    In January 2023, CVR Partners and one of its subsidiaries entered into a series of agreements to allow CVR Partners to monetize certain tax credits available to joint ventures under Section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, expected to be generated from January 6, 2023, until March 31, 2030 (the “45Q Transaction”). In connection with these agreements, CVR Partners received an initial distribution, net of expenses, of approximately $18.1 million and could receive up to an additional $60 million in payments through March 31, 2030, if certain carbon oxide capture and sequestration milestones are met, subject to the terms of the applicable agreements. Among other items, the 45Q Transaction resulted in the creation of CVR-CapturePoint Parent LLC, a joint venture in which CVR Partners indirectly holds a 50 percent interest.

    Corporate and Other

    The Company reported an income tax expense of $56 million, or 17.8 percent of income before income taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to an income tax expense of $34 million, or 18.0 percent of income before income taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in income tax expense was due primarily to an increase in pretax earnings.

    The renewable diesel unit at the Wynnewood refinery continued to increase production, with total vegetable oil throughputs for the first quarter of 2023 of approximately 22.4 million gallons, up from 12.8 million gallons in the fourth quarter of 2022.

    Cash, Debt and Dividend

    Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $601 million at March 31, 2023, an increase of $91 million from December 31, 2022. Consolidated total debt and finance lease obligations were $1.6 billion at March 31, 2023, including $547 million held by the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment.

    CVR Energy announced a first quarter 2023 cash dividend of 50 cents per share. The dividend, as declared by CVR Energy’s Board of Directors, will be paid on May 22, 2023, to stockholders of record as of May 15, 2023.

    Today, CVR Partners announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner declared a first quarter 2023 cash distribution of $10.43 per common unit, which will be paid on May 22, 2023, to common unitholders of record as of May 15, 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, 2023:

    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 CVR Partners’ facilities. Utilization is calculated as actual tons produced divided by capacity. We present our utilization for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 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.
