Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a growing energy company based in Houston, Texas, that provides both renewable and conventional fuels to the western United States. For more information, please read “Note 1—Overview” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Recent Events Affecting Comparability of Periods
Operational Update
Our Wyoming refinery experienced an operational incident on the evening of February 12, 2025, and remained safely idled during repair and recovery work through late April 2025, when the refinery returned to full crude operations. The 47 days of idle time in 2025 impacted comparability between the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025.
Economic Update
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Red Sea region continue in 2026, putting upward pressure on prices in March 2026. The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz in early March 2026 has disrupted global trade patterns and increased crude oil price volatility worldwide. Crude oil prices increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Brent crude oil prices averaged $99.60 per barrel during March, raising the quarterly average to $78.38 per barrel during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $74.98 per barrel during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Average U.S. retail gasoline prices spiked to $3.48 per gallon in March, raising the quarterly average to $2.99 per gallon during the three months ended March 31, 2026, consistent with the average cost per gallon during the three months ended March 31, 2025. On March 1, 2026, OPEC agreed to increase output by 206,000 barrels per day beginning in April 2026. The overall energy price index increased 12.5% and the total consumer price index increased 3.3% year over year as of March 31, 2026.
Please read our Item 1A. — Risk Factors discussion below and on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for further information.
Employee Update
Approximately 49% of the workforce at our Hawaii and Tacoma refineries are represented by the United Steelworkers Union under a collective bargaining agreement that expired January 31, 2026, and is currently subject to 24-hour extension periods while the parties continue their negotiations.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Par Pacific Stockholders. Our financial results for the first quarter of 2026 improved from a net loss attributable to Par Pacific stockholders of $30.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to net income attributable to Par Pacific Stockholders of $54.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The $84.9 million increase was primarily driven by an $81.0 million increase in our refining segment operating income, an $8.5 million increase in Equity earnings from Laramie Energy, LLC, and a $5.9 million decrease in Interest expense and financing costs, net, partially offset by a $19.2 million increase in income tax expense. Please read the discussions of segment and consolidated results below for additional information.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Par Pacific Stockholders. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was $91.5 million compared to $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $81.4 million increase was primarily due to an $80.8 million increase in refining segment Adjusted Gross Margin.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Adjusted Net Income attributable to Par Pacific stockholders was $38.5 million compared to Adjusted Net Loss attributable to Par Pacific stockholders of $50.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $88.8 million improvement was primarily related to the factors described above for the increase in Adjusted EBITDA and a $5.8 million decrease in Interest expense and financing costs, net, excluding unrealized interest rate derivative loss (gain).

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a growing energy company based in Houston, Texas, that provides both renewable and conventional fuels to the western United States. For more information, please read “Part I –Item 1. — Business—Overview” of this Form 10-K.
Known Trends or Uncertainties
While the market indices presented below under “Item 7. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations” are representative of the results of our refineries, each refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis will differ from the benchmark due to a variety of factors that affect the performance of the specific refinery. These factors include, but are not limited to, the actual type and timing of crude oil throughput; product yields; transportation and storage costs; fuel burn; product premiums or discounts; inventory fluctuations; feedstock and product purchases; commodity price risk-management activities; crude oil purchase financing activities; and other factors not reflected in the benchmark refining margin. We operate in logistically complex, niche markets and, as such, each of our refineries has unique cost advantages and disadvantages as compared to their respective relevant market indices.
Recent Events Affecting Comparability of Periods
Operational Update. Our Wyoming refinery experienced an operational incident on the evening of February 12, 2025, and remained safely idled during repair and recovery work through late April 2025, when the refinery returned to full crude operations. The 66 days of idle time impacted comparability between the year ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.
Small Refinery Exemption. In August 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) granted our mainland refineries a combination of full (100%) and partial (50%) small refinery exemptions (“SREs”) from the Renewable Fuel Standard (the “RFS”) program for the 2019 through 2024 compliance years. As a result of our historical compliance with the RFS program, we received previously retired Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) related to the 2019 through 2023 compliance years from the EPA and relieved a portion of our 2024 RVO, recording a corresponding gain of $199.5 million in Net Income on our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. This also resulted in gains of $195.9 million in Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders and $202.6 million in Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the EPA has not made a determination with respect to small refinery exemptions for the 2025 compliance year. Accordingly, our recorded RFS obligation for the year ended December 31, 2025, reflects 100% of the RFS obligation for the period with no assumption of SRE relief.
Renewable Fuels Facility Joint Venture. On July 21, 2025, we and Hawaii Renewables, LLC (“Hawaii Renewables”), entered into a definitive Equity Contribution Agreement (the “Equity Contribution Agreement”) with Alohi Renewable Energy LLC (“Alohi”), an entity owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and ENEOS Corporation, to establish Hawaii Renewables as a joint venture. The joint venture was formed for the development, construction, ownership, and operation of the renewable fuels manufacturing facility co-located with our Hawaii refinery (“Renewable Fuels Facility”).
On October 21, 2025, we completed the transaction to form the Hawaii Renewables joint venture. Following the closing of the transaction, we held a 63.5% ownership interest in Hawaii Renewables and Alohi held the remaining 36.5% ownership interest. We will operate and manage the day-to-day operations at the Renewable Fuels Facility on behalf of Hawaii Renewables and provide certain services, such as construction management services, operating and corporate services, and terminalling services, to Hawaii Renewables. In addition, at the closing of the transaction, we contributed certain assets to Hawaii Renewables and Alohi contributed $100.0 million in cash in exchange for a minority interest. In connection with the transaction, Hawaii Renewables distributed $83.0 million to Par and approximately $17.0 million of Alohi’s contribution was retained by Hawaii Renewables to fund remaining construction and initial working capital. The Renewable Fuels Facility is expected to commence operations in the first half of 2026.
Inflation. Energy prices are, among other factors, indicators of inflation, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has taken significant steps to curb inflation. After aggressively raising interest rates in early 2023 to bring down inflation, the Fed cut interest rates in 2024 and 2025 in response to positive indicators of economic growth, including easing labor market conditions and lower inflation. Interest rates decreased to a range of 3.50% to 3.75% in December 2025 from 4.25% to 4.50% in December 2024. Crude oil prices decreased in 2025 compared to 2024. Brent crude oil prices averaged $68.19 per barrel in 2025 compared to $79.86 per barrel in 2024. The U.S. retail price for regular-grade gasoline averaged $3.10 per gallon in 2025 compared to $3.30 per gallon in 2024. This decline was due, in part, to lower crude oil prices in 2025 compared to 2024, as
32
noted above. The decrease in crude prices in 2025 was primarily due to increased global oil inventories driven by increased production by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) in the second half of 2025. The overall energy index increased to 7.7% year over year as of December 2025. While inflation has improved relative to prior years, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in 2025. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases, or price increases could lead to a decline in demand for our products, which could have a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Geopolitical Conflicts. Given the nature of our operations, including sourcing crude oil and feedstocks, geopolitical conflicts may affect our business and results of operations. The Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Palestine conflict, the political activity in Venezuela, Houthi-related disruptions in the Red Sea, and tensions involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz have all continued to disrupt global trade patterns, increase crude oil price volatility, and, at times, increase freight costs and delivery times. Sanctions, price caps, and related restrictions on Russian crude oil and petroleum products, as well as evolving U.S. sanctions and licensing regimes affecting Venezuela’s petroleum sector, have further reshaped crude and refined product trade patterns, which may indirectly affect our business through changes in the availability and pricing of crude oil and feedstocks, and increased volatility in refining margins. Further escalation, renewed maritime disruptions, or additional sanctions could adversely affect our supply economics, operating costs, and results of operations.
Tariffs. Effective August 1, 2025, the U.S. adopted new and increased tariffs on countries and specific goods, subject to evolving exemptions. In October 2025, the U.S. government announced a series of new and expanded tariffs on imports from China and other countries, including a 100% tariff on certain categories of goods and increased duties. On November 1, 2025, the U.S. government announced a deal with China that retained heightened reciprocal tariffs and suspended (retaining a 10% baseline) and reduced certain China-specific tariffs, effective November 10, 2025. Separately, previously announced tariffs on imports from other countries went into effect on November 1, 2025. In January 2026, the U.S. government announced that an additional 25% tariff would be imposed on countries purchasing Iranian oil. On February 20, 2026, the U.S Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize presidential tariff actions and invalidated prior IEEPA-based global duties. In response, the U.S. government imposed a temporary 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 that was increased to 15% prior to becoming effective on February 24, 2026. Those policies, along with retaliatory actions by some trading partners, increased US-China trade tensions, and ongoing negotiations around trade policy, have led to increased volatility, upward pressure on prices of a wide range of goods, and unpredictability for global trade.
We continue to actively monitor the impact of these and other global situations on our people, operations, financial condition, liquidity, suppliers, customers, and industry, and are actively responding to the impacts that these matters have on our business. Please read “Item 1A. — Risk Factors” for more information on risks and uncertainties, including those related to economic factors, and their potential impacts on our business.
For purposes of this section, “legacy portfolio” and “legacy refining operations” refer to our Hawaii, Wyoming, and Washington refineries, and exclude our Montana refinery acquired in June 2023.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Par Pacific Stockholders. Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, improved from net loss attributable to Par Pacific stockholders of $33.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to net income attributable to Par Pacific stockholders of $369.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was driven by a $469.6 million increase in refining segment operating income, a $23.6 million increase in equity earnings from Laramie Energy, LLC, a $10.3 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, and a $9.9 million increase in retail segment operating income, partially offset by a $116.5 million increase in income tax expense. Please read the discussions of segment and consolidated results below for additional information.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Par Pacific Stockholders. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was $633.5 million compared to $238.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The $394.8 million improvement was primarily related to a $382.3 million increase in our refining segment Adjusted Gross Margin and an $11.8 million increase in our logistics segment Adjusted Gross Margin. Please read the discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin by Segment and the Discussion of Consolidated Results below for additional information.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, Adjusted Net Income attributable to Par Pacific stockholders was $390.1 million compared to $21.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The $368.9 million improvement was primarily related to the same factors described above for the increase in Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by a $12.7 million increase in
33
income tax expense, net of impacts due to changes in the valuation allowance and other deferred tax items, and a $12.7 million increase in D&A.
Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Par Pacific Stockholders. Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024, declined from net income attributable to Par Pacific stockholders of $728.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, to net loss attributable to Par Pacific stockholders of $33.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was driven by a $658.8 million decrease in refining segment Operating income, a $109.6 million decrease in Income tax benefit, a $25.3 million decrease in Equity earnings from Laramie Energy, LLC, and a $17.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a $19.7 million increase in logistics segment Operating income, a $17.5 million decrease in Debt extinguishment and commitment costs, and a $17.4 million decrease in Acquisition and integration costs related to our Billings Acquisition. Please read the discussions of segment and consolidated results below for additional information.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Par Pacific Stockholders. For the year ended December 31, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was $238.7 million compared to $696.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily related to a $376.7 million decrease in our refining segment Adjusted Gross Margin and a $98.7 million increase in operating expenses, partially offset by increases of $14.6 million and $9.4 million in our logistics and retail segment Adjusted Gross Margins, respectively. Please read the discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin by Segment and the Discussion of Consolidated Results below for additional information.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Adjusted Net Income attributable to Par Pacific stockholders was $21.2 million compared to $501.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decline was primarily related to the same factors described above for the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a $12.0 million increase in interest expense and financing costs, excluding unrealized interest rate derivative losses (gains), an $11.8 million increase in Depreciation and amortization, and a $9.2 million decrease in cash distributions received from Laramie Energy, LLC, partially offset by a decrease in Income tax expense, net of impacts due to changes in the valuation allowance and other deferred tax items of $13.3 million.

(1)The 2025 and 2024 amounts for the total refining segment represent the sum of the Hawaii, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming refineries’ throughput or sales volumes averaged over the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Feedstocks throughput and sales volumes per day for the Montana refinery for the year ended December 31, 2023, are calculated based on the 214-day period for which we owned the Montana refinery in 2023. As such, the amounts for the total refining segment represent the sum of the Hawaii, Washington, and Wyoming refineries’ throughput or sales volumes averaged over the year ended December 31, 2023, plus the Montana refinery’s throughput or sales volumes averaged over the period from June 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023.
(2)We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel by dividing Adjusted Gross Margin by total refining throughput. Adjusted Gross Margin for our Washington refinery is determined under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory costing method. Adjusted Gross Margin for our other refineries is determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory costing method. Total Refining Segment Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel is presented net of intercompany profit in inventory per barrel, which represents margin on intercompany sales where the inventory remains on our consolidated balance sheet at period end. Intercompany profit in inventory per barrel for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was immaterial. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel includes the SRE impact related to the 2019 through 2024 compliance years.
(3)Management uses production costs per barrel to evaluate performance and compare efficiency to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate production costs per barrel; different companies within the industry calculate it in different ways. We calculate production costs per barrel by dividing all direct production costs, which include the costs to run the refineries, including personnel costs, repair and maintenance costs, insurance, utilities, and other miscellaneous costs, by total refining throughput. Our production costs are included in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) on our consolidated statements of operations, which also includes costs related to our bulk marketing operations and severance costs.
39
(4)Beginning in 2025, we established the Hawaii Index as a new benchmark for our Hawaii operations. We believe the Hawaii Index, which incorporates market cracks and landed crude differentials, better reflects the key drivers impacting our Hawaii refinery’s financial performance compared to prior reported market indices. The Hawaii Index is calculated as the Singapore 3.1.2 Product Crack, or one part gasoline (RON 92) and two parts distillates (Sing Jet & Sing gasoil) as created from a barrel of Brent crude oil, less the Par Hawaii Refining, LLC (“PHR”) crude differential.
(5)Beginning in 2025, we established the Montana Index as a new benchmark for our Montana refinery. We believe the Montana Index, which incorporates local market cracks, regional crude oil prices, and management’s estimates for other costs of sales, better reflects the key drivers impacting our Montana refinery’s financial performance compared to prior reported market indices. Beginning in 2025, market cracks have been updated to reflect local market product pricing, which better reflects our Montana refinery’s refined product sales price compared to prior reported market indices. The Montana Index is calculated as the Montana 6.3.2.1 Product Crack less Montana crude costs, less other costs of sales, including inflation-adjusted product delivery costs, yield loss expense, taxes and tariffs, and product discounts. The Montana 6.3.2.1 Product Crack is calculated by taking three parts gasoline (Billings E10 and Spokane E10), two parts distillate (Billings ULSD and Spokane ULSD), and one part asphalt (Rocky Mountain Rail Asphalt) as created from a barrel of WTI crude oil, less 100% of the RVO cost for gasoline and ULSD. Asphalt pricing is lagged by one month. The Montana crude cost is calculated as 60% WCS differential to WTI, 20% MSW differential to WTI, and 20% Syncrude differential to WTI. The Montana crude cost is lagged by three months and includes an inflation-adjusted crude delivery cost. Other costs of sales and crude delivery costs are based on historical averages and management’s estimates.
(6)Beginning in 2025, we established the Washington Index as a new benchmark for our Washington refinery. We believe the Washington Index, which incorporates local market cracks, regional crude oil prices, and management’s estimates for other costs of sales, better reflects the key drivers impacting our Washington refinery’s financial performance compared to prior reported market indices. Beginning in 2025, market cracks have been updated to reflect local market product pricing, which better reflects our Washington refinery’s refined product sales price compared to prior reported market indices. The Washington Index is calculated as the Washington 3.1.1.1 Product Crack, less Washington crude costs, less other costs of sales, including inflation-adjusted product delivery costs, yield loss expense and state and local taxes. The Washington 3.1.1.1 Product Crack is calculated by taking one part gasoline (Tacoma E10), one part distillate (Tacoma ULSD) and one part secondary products (USGC VGO and Rocky Mountain Rail Asphalt) as created from a barrel of WTI crude oil, less 100% of the RVO cost for gasoline and ULSD. Asphalt pricing is lagged by one month. The Washington crude cost is calculated as 67% Bakken Williston differential to WTI and 33% WCS Hardisty differential to WTI. The Washington crude cost is lagged by one month and includes an inflation-adjusted crude delivery cost. Other costs of sales and crude delivery costs are based on historical averages and management’s estimates.
(7)Beginning in 2025, we established the Wyoming Index as a new benchmark for our Wyoming refinery. We believe the Wyoming Index, which incorporates local market cracks, regional crude oil prices, and management’s estimates for other costs of sales, better reflects the key drivers impacting our Wyoming refinery’s financial performance compared to prior reported market indices. Beginning in 2025, market cracks have also been updated to reflect local market product pricing, which better reflects our Wyoming refinery’s refined product sales price compared to prior reported market indices. The Wyoming Index is calculated as the Wyoming 2.1.1 Product Crack, less Wyoming crude costs, less other cost of sales, including inflation adjusted product delivery costs and yield loss expense, based on historical averages and management’s estimates. The Wyoming 2.1.1 Product Crack is calculated by taking one part gasoline (Rockies gasoline) and one part distillate (USGC ULSD and USGC Jet) as created from a barrel of WTI crude oil, less 100% of the RVO cost for gasoline and ULSD. The Wyoming crude cost is calculated as the Bakken Guernsey differential to WTI on a one-month lag.
(8)Beginning in 2025, we established the Combined Index as a new benchmark for our refining segment. The Combined Index provides a wholistic view of key drivers impacting our refining segment’s financial performance and is calculated as the throughput-weighted average of each regional index for periods under our ownership. As such, the throughput weighted index contemplates the Montana index following June 1, 2023.
(9)Beginning in 2025, crude oil prices have been updated and expanded to reflect regional differentials to Brent and WTI, which better reflect our refineries’ feedstock costs compared to prior crude oil pricing.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Management uses certain financial measures and forecasts to evaluate our operating performance and allocate resources that are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and forecasts to allocate resources and evaluate our operating performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies since each company may define these terms differently.
We believe Adjusted Gross Margin (as defined below) provides useful information to investors because it eliminates the gross impact of volatile commodity prices and adjusts for certain non-cash items and timing differences created by our inventory financing agreements and lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to demonstrate the earnings potential of the business before other fixed and variable costs, which are reported separately in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) and Depreciation and amortization. Operating expense includes certain shared costs such as finance, accounting, tax, human resources, information technology, and legal costs that are not directly attributable to specific operating segments. The criteria used to determine the allocation of these expenses generally reflect the time and resources required to provide the applicable service to other internal stakeholders. Remaining expenses are included in the reconciliation of reportable segment Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated pre-tax income (loss) as unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses.
Management, including the CODM, uses Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel to evaluate operating performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry and to industry benchmarks. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below), and Adjusted EBITDA by segment (as defined below) are useful supplemental financial measures that allow management and investors to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis, the ability of our assets to generate cash to pay interest on our indebtedness, and our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure.
Beginning with financial results reported for the second quarter of 2023, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders, and Adjusted EBITDA exclude our portion of interest, taxes, and depreciation expense from our refining and logistics investments acquired on June 1, 2023, as part of the Billings Acquisition.
Beginning with financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2023, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders, and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude all hedge losses (gains) associated with our Washington ending inventory and LIFO layer increment impacts associated with our Washington inventory. In addition, we have modified our environmental obligation mark-to-market adjustment to include only the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net RINs liability and net obligation associated with the Washington Climate Commitment Act (“Washington CCA”) and Clean Fuel Standard. This modification was made as part of our change in how we estimate our environmental obligation liabilities.
Beginning with financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2023, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders excludes unrealized interest rate derivative losses (gains) and all Laramie Energy related impacts with the exception of cash distributions. We have recast Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders for prior periods when reported to conform to the modified presentation. Please read “Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, Environmental Credits and Obligations section, for a discussion of the change in estimate.
Beginning with financial results reported for the first quarter of 2024, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders also excludes other non-operating income and expenses. This modification improves comparability between periods by excluding income and expenses resulting from non-operating activities.
Effective as of the fourth quarter of 2024, we have modified our definition of Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders and Adjusted EBITDA to align the accounting treatment for deferred turnaround costs from our refining and logistics investments with our accounting policy. Under this approach, we exclude our share of their turnaround expenses, which are recorded as period costs in their financial statements, and instead defer and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over the period estimated until the next planned turnaround. This modification enhances consistency and comparability across reporting periods.
41
Beginning with the financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2025, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders excludes the portion of non-GAAP adjustments associated with the noncontrolling interest in our joint venture established on October 21, 2025. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) attributable to Par Pacific stockholders and Adjusted EBITDA by segment also excludes other operating gains and losses (which primarily includes the impacts of the noncash remeasurement of our environmental liabilities). This modification improves comparability between periods by excluding non-cash gains and losses that do not reflect ongoing underlying business operations.
Beginning with the financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2025, Adjusted EBITDA includes the Adjusted Net Loss attributable to noncontrolling interests associated with our joint venture established on October 21, 2025.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Operating income (loss) excluding:
•operating expense (excluding depreciation);
•depreciation and amortization (“D&A”);
•Par’s portion of interest, taxes, and D&A expense from refining and logistics investments;
•impairment expense;
•other operating (gain) loss, net (which primarily includes the impacts of the noncash remeasurement of our environmental liabilities);
•Par's portion of accounting policy differences from refining and logistics investments;
•inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase or terminal obligations, hedge losses (gains) associated with our Washington ending inventory and intermediation obligation, purchase price allocation adjustments, and LIFO layer increment and decrement impacts associated with our Washington inventory);
•Environmental obligation mark-to-market adjustment (which represents the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net RINs liability and our net obligation associated with the Washington Climate Commitment Act and Clean Fuel Standard); and
•unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives.

Refining. Operating income for our refining segment was $487.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $469.6 million compared to $17.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by:
| • | an increase of $241.2 million related to higher crack spreads across all our refineries, |
|---|---|
| an SRE benefit of $199.5 million at our Washington, Montana, and Wyoming refineries, | |
| • | an increase of $79.8 million related favorable derivative impacts, |
| • | a favorable change in the valuation of the embedded derivatives related to our Inventory Intermediation Agreement driven by changes in commodity prices that resulted in a decrease of $33.0 million, and |
| • | a favorable change in other drivers of $56.9 million, |
partially offset by:
| • | an increase of $98.4 million of environmental compliance cost related to current period production and |
|---|---|
| • | an increase of $37.2 million driven by unfavorable feedstock differentials and purchased product costs. |
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $97.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $8.2 million compared to $89.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to decreases of $11.2 million in repair and maintenance costs, $6.6 million in environmental expenses, and $5.7 million in other expenses, and an increase of $4.0 million in third party revenue. These improvements were partially offset by an $11.8 million in rent expense, $5.5 million related to lower throughput, and $4.1 million of reduced gross margin related to the Wyoming refinery incident in the first half of the year. Other impacts include a $1.5 million decrease in losses on sale and a $1.0 million decrease in depreciation and amortization.
47
Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $74.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $9.9 million compared to $64.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in operating income was primarily due to a $2.0 million increase driven by 1% higher fuel sales volumes, a $1.9 million increase in merchandise margins, a $1.7 million increase related to a 2% increase in fuel margins, and a $1.7 million decrease in repairs and maintenance costs. Other impacts include a $0.7 million decrease in employee expenses, a $0.7 million decrease in other operating costs and a $0.6 million decrease in outside services expenses.

•a decrease of $532.5 million related to declining crack spreads at refineries in our legacy portfolio,
•a decrease of $134.7 million in environmental credit and related obligations income across refineries in our legacy portfolio, primarily associated with RIN settlement gains recorded in 2023 with no similar gains in 2024, and
•a decrease of $38.8 million driven by a 1% decrease in refined product sales volumes at our refineries in our legacy portfolio,
partially offset by:
•an increase of $58.3 million related to a favorable change in crude oil differentials at refineries in our legacy portfolio, and
•a favorable impact of $20.8 million related to our derivatives in Hawaii and Washington.
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $89.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $19.7 million compared to $69.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $16.2 million contribution from the Billings Acquisition logistics assets acquired in June 2023. Excluding the contribution from the Billings Acquisition, the increase in operating income was driven by lower repair and maintenance costs of $3.4 million in our legacy portfolio.
Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $64.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $8.2 million compared to $56.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023
Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2024, Revenues were $8.0 billion, a $0.2 billion decrease compared to $8.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.7 billion decrease in third-party revenues when comparing our legacy refining operations, of which $0.5 billion was related to lower average crack spreads, $0.1 billion was related to lower crude oil prices, and $0.1 billion was related to a 1% decrease in sales volumes. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $0.5 billion in contributions from the Billings Acquisition, which closed on June 1, 2023. The Washington Index, Hawaii Index, Montana Index, and Wyoming Index declined 58%, 45%, 39%, and 33% respectively, compared to 2023. Average Brent crude oil prices declined 3% and average WTI crude oil prices declined 2% as compared to the prior period. Revenues at our retail segment decreased $7.7 million primarily due to a 6% decrease in fuel sales prices, partially offset by a 3% increase in sales volumes and a 5% increase in merchandise sales.
Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2024, Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) was $7.1 billion, a $0.3 billion increase compared to $6.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by an additional $0.5 billion in contributions related to a full year of results from our Billings assets, partially offset by decreases in crude oil prices at our legacy refining locations as discussed above.
Operating Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2024, operating expense (excluding depreciation) was approximately $584.3 million, an increase of $98.7 million compared to $485.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a $96.2 million increase in expense from the Billings Acquisition.
Depreciation and Amortization. For the year ended December 31, 2024, D&A expense was approximately $131.6 million, an increase of $11.8 million compared to $119.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by $18.4 million of additional D&A attributable to the Billings Acquisition, partially offset by a $6.3 million decrease in D&A from our Hawaii Refinery reflecting fully depreciated assets in the second half of 2023 and the second quarter of 2024.
General and Administrative Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2024, general and administrative expense (excluding depreciation) was approximately $108.8 million, an increase of $17.4 million compared to $91.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to $13.1 million of stock-based
51
compensation expenses related to CEO transition costs in the first quarter of 2024, a $3.1 million increase in IT expenses, and a $2.1 million increase in employee costs.
Equity earnings from refining and logistics investments.

On February 28, 2023, Par Petroleum, LLC (“Par Borrower”) entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) due 2030 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the
52
lenders party thereto. The Term Loan Credit Agreement was co-issued by Par Petroleum Finance Corp.

(2)For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $0.8 million and $13.1 million of stock-based compensation expenses associated with equity awards modifications, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred $0.8 million for a legal settlement unrelated to current operating activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources and Available Liquidity
Our liquidity and capital requirements are primarily a function of our debt maturities and debt service requirements and contractual obligations, capital expenditures, turnaround outlays, and working capital needs. Examples of working capital needs include purchases and sales of commodities and associated margin and collateral requirements, facility maintenance costs, and other costs such as payroll. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash on hand, amounts available under our credit agreements, and access to capital markets. Generally, the primary uses of our capital resources have been in the operations of our refining and retail segments, for payments related to acquisitions, to repay or refinance indebtedness, and to repurchase shares of our common stock.
Our liquidity position as of December 31, 2025, was $914.6 million, consisting of $164.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $750.5 million of availability under the ABL Credit Facility. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we generated cash from operations of $445.3 million. Please read the Cash Flows discussion below for information regarding additional sources and uses of cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
We believe our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our current capital and turnaround expenditures, working capital, and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. Please read the Cash Requirements section below for further information. We may seek to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund acquisitions and any other significant changes to our business or to refinance existing debt. We cannot offer any assurances that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or at an acceptable cost. Our expected cash inflows and cash requirements are subject to
61
the risks and uncertainties discussed in the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements section of Item 1: Business and, for further information, the “Operating Risks” section of “Item 1A. Risk Factors”.
Significant Developments
On June 27, 2025, we entered into a RINs financing agreement with Citi (the “Product Financing Agreement”) to, among other things, provide funding to finance RINs; borrowings under the agreement are not to exceed $450 million in the aggregate when combined with obligations under the Inventory Intermediation Agreement. On October 2, 2025, we entered into an agreement with Wells Fargo (the “Renewables Intermediation Agreement”) to, among other things, provide funding to finance renewables feedstock. On October 21, 2025, we completed the transaction to form the Hawaii Renewables joint venture with Alohi in which Alohi contributed $100.0 million in cash in exchange for a minority interest in Hawaii Renewables. In connection with the transaction, Hawaii Renewables distributed $83.0 million to Par and approximately $17.0 million of Alohi’s contribution was retained by Hawaii Renewables to fund remaining construction and initial working capital. In connection with the Renewables Intermediation Agreement, on December 16, 2025, Hawaii Renewables entered into a Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (the “Renewables LC Facility Agreement”). On December 17, 2025, we amended the Term Loan Credit Agreement to reduce the applicable margin by 50 basis points. Please read “Note 5—Joint Venture”, “Note 13—Inventory Financing Agreements”, and “Note 15—Debt” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we had significant activity related to our inventory financing and debt agreements. Please read “Note 13—Inventory Financing Agreements” and “Note 15—Debt” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion of significant activity related to our inventory financing and debt agreements, respectively.
Cash Requirements
We have various cash requirements stemming from investment strategies, contractual obligations, and financial commitments in the normal course of our operations and financing activities. Contractual obligations include future cash payments required under existing contractual arrangements, such as debt and lease agreements. These cash requirements and obligations may result from both general financing activities and from commercial arrangements that are directly related to our operating activities. We also continue to seek strategic investments in business opportunities, however the amount and timing of those investments are not predictable. Our known material cash requirements as of December 31, 2025, include the following and read “Note 15—Debt”, “Note 13—Inventory Financing Agreements”, and “Note 18—Leases” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for our long-term commitments and further discussion:
Debt and Interest Payments. Current and long-term debt includes the scheduled principal and interest payments related to our outstanding debt obligations and ABL Credit Facility. Our estimated interest payments due for 2026 are $44.4 million and our total estimated undiscounted future interest payments will be $186.8 million on the debt obligations held as of December 31, 2025, and using interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2025. Our estimated principal payments due for 2026 are $7.5 million and our total estimated undiscounted future principal payments are $814.8 million on the debt obligations held as of December 31, 2025.
Product Financing. On June 27, 2025, we entered into a RINs financing agreement with Citi (the “Product Financing Agreement”) to, among other things, provide funding to finance RINs. As of December 31, 2025, there were no product financing obligations under the Product Financing Agreement.
Renewables Financing. On October 2, 2025, Hawaii Renewables entered into the Renewables Intermediation Agreement with Wells Fargo pursuant to which the parties agreed to a framework for entering into a series of Swap Transactions. In connection with the Renewables Intermediation Agreement, on December 16, 2025, we entered into the Renewables LC Facility Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, there were $31.3 million of outstanding obligations under the Renewables Intermediation Agreement with required cash outlays in the next twelve months and no letters of credit outstanding under the Renewables LC Facility.
Capital Expenditures and Turnaround Costs. Our deferred turnaround costs and capital expenditures, including land and building purchases but excluding acquisitions, for the year ended December 31, 2025, totaled approximately $250.1 million and were primarily related to 2025 turnaround activities and related scheduled maintenance work at our Montana refinery, repair and replacement work related to our Wyoming operational incident, the Hawaii Renewables hydrotreater project, and other capital projects and sustaining maintenance at all of our refineries and other businesses. Our capital expenditures and deferred turnaround costs budget for 2026 is approximately $190 to $220 million and primarily relates to the planned Hawaii and Wyoming refinery turnarounds and other scheduled maintenance, capital projects, and turnaround projects related to
62
regulatory compliance, information technology, and growth across each of our businesses with required cash outlays primarily expected in the next twelve months.
Operating Lease Liabilities. Operating lease liabilities primarily include obligations associated with the lease of land, office space, retail facilities, and other facilities used in the storage and transportation of crude oil and refined products. Please read “Note 18—Leases” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion, including our related short- and long-term cash requirements.
Finance Lease Liabilities. Finance lease liabilities primarily include obligations associated with the lease of retail facilities and vehicles. Please read “Note 18—Leases” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion, including our related short- and long-term cash requirements.
Purchase Commitments. Purchase commitments primarily consist of contracts executed as of December 31, 2025, for the purchase of crude oil for use at our refineries that are scheduled for delivery in 2026. As of December 31, 2025, we have non-cancelable material purchase commitments of $2.6 billion, with required cash outlays primarily expected in the next twelve months.
Environmental Matters. Our operations are subject to extensive and periodically-changing federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations including but not limited to air emissions, wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management activities. Additionally, we have asset retirement obligations in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government or regulatory action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. Please read “Note 12—Asset Retirement Obligations” and “Note 19—Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information, including estimated long term cash requirements.
Other Cash Commitments. We may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our common stock through cash purchases, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. On February 21, 2025, the Board authorized and approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of common stock, with no specified end date. This repurchase program terminated and replaced the prior share repurchase authorization. Please read “Note 20—Stockholders’ Equity” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion on the share repurchase program. The Term Loan Credit Agreement may also require annual prepayments of principal with a variable percentage of our excess cash flow, 50%, 25%, or 0% depending on our consolidated year end secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement).

Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations were based on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Our significant accounting policies are described in our audited consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K. We have identified certain estimates as being of particular importance to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and which require the application of significant judgment by management. We analyze our estimates on a periodic basis, including those related to fair value, impairments, natural gas and crude oil reserves, bad debts, natural gas and oil properties, income taxes, derivatives, contingencies, and litigation and base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Inventory and Obligations Under Inventory Financing Agreements
Commodity inventories, excluding commodity inventories at the Washington refinery, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the FIFO accounting method. Commodity inventories at the Washington refinery are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the LIFO inventory accounting method. We value merchandise along with spare parts, materials, and supplies at weighted average cost. Estimating the net realizable value of our inventory requires management to make assumptions about the timing of sales and the expected proceeds that will be realized for these sales. Please read “Note 8—Inventories” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Crude oil held in storage tanks at, and certain crude oil in transit to, the Hawaii refinery are financed by Citigroup Energy Inc. (“Citi”) under procurement contracts. The crude oil remains in the legal title of Citi and is stored in our storage tanks governed by a storage facilities agreement. Legal title to the stored crude oil passes to us at the tank outlet. After processing, Citi takes title to the refined products stored in our storage tanks until they are sold to third parties. Citi takes legal title of crude oil in transit at the specified purchase location with the third party supplier. We purchase the crude oil shipment from Citi at the SPM delivery point and we sell an equal quantity and quality of crude oil to Citi at the crude intake point. Legal title to crude oil in transit passes to us at the SPM delivery point for the upstream leg, and legal title passes to Citi at the crude intake point for the downstream leg. We record the inventory owned by Citi on our behalf as inventory with a corresponding obligation on our balance sheet in the amount we expect to pay to satisfy the repurchase obligation for the crude oil inventory then-owned by Citi following the expiration or termination of the Inventory Intermediation Agreement. The valuation of our repurchase obligation requires that we make estimates of the prices and differentials assuming settlement occurs at the end of the reporting period.
Under the Renewables Intermediation Agreement, Hawaii Renewables and Wells Fargo enter into a series of Swap Transactions on a monthly basis and Wells Fargo agrees to prepay a fixed amount to Hawaii Renewables, which is not to exceed $100 million. Hawaii Renewables utilizes the funding received from the Swap Transactions to support our Renewable Fuels Facility’s operations. Hawaii Renewables receives the title to and risk of loss of the renewable feedstocks beginning at the transfer point designated by the sourcing contracts. Hawaii Renewables notifies Wells Fargo of changes in titled inventories and receives swap financing for the renewable feedstock inventory in transit or held in tank storage before consumption at the Renewable Fuels Facility and, following production, for the refined fuels inventory held in tank storage at our facility in Hawaii and agreed upon locations prior to sale. We record the inventory owned by Hawaii Renewables with a corresponding obligation on our balance sheet in the amount we expect to pay to Wells Fargo for the swap settlements, based on the commodity rate changes on the inventory volumes underlying the fixed prepay amount received.
Please read “Note 13—Inventory Financing Agreements” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding our Hawaii inventory financing agreement and Renewables Intermediation Agreement.
Fair Value Measurements
We measure certain assets and liabilities at their fair market value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments and environmental credit obligations. We also measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when specific triggering events occur, such as business combinations and events which indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In estimating fair value, we use discounted cash flow projections, recent comparable market transactions, if available, or quoted prices. We consider assumptions that third parties would make in estimating fair value, including the highest and best use of the asset. The assumptions used by another party could differ significantly from our assumptions.
We classify fair value balances based on the classification of the inputs used to calculate the fair value of a transaction. The inputs used to measure fair value have been placed in a hierarchy based on priority. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted, readily observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Please read “Note 17—Fair Value Measurements” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Business Combinations
We recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations separately from goodwill at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. We obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists in estimating fair values of tangible and intangible assets
67
based on available historical information and on expectations and assumptions about the future, considering the perspectives of marketplace participants. These valuation methods require management to make estimates and assumptions regarding characteristics of the acquired property and future revenues and expenses. Changes in these estimates and assumptions would result in different amounts allocated to the related assets and liabilities. The measurement period may be up to one year from the acquisition date; we may record adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation during this time, concluding at the end of the one year period or final determination of the values of consideration transferred and assets and liabilities assumed, whichever comes first. Subsequent adjustments, if any, are recorded to the consolidated statement of operations. Please read “Note 6—Acquisitions” and “Note 17—Fair Value Measurements” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets
We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill of a reporting unit may not be fully recoverable. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a quantitative test is required. Under the quantitative test, we compare the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment loss is recorded. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we estimate the present value of expected future cash flows using a market participant discount rate. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value using observable multiples for comparable companies within our industry. These valuation methods require us to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows, capital projects, commodity prices, long-term growth rates, and discount rates. Please read “Note 11—Goodwill and Intangible Assets” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
We review property, plant, and equipment, operating leases, deferred turnaround costs, and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We use a cash flows model to estimate value because there is usually a lack of quoted market prices available for long-lived assets. Future cash flow estimates used for impairment reviews are based on assessments requiring judgment, including future production volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, margins, discount rates, expected capital expenditures, and other factors based on all available information available as of the date of the review. Impairment is required when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying value. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value. The fair value of long-lived assets is determined using the income approach. Please read “Note 10—Property, Plant, and Equipment” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Environmental Matters and Asset Retirement Obligations
We record liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Cost estimates are based on the expected timing and extent of remedial actions required by governing agencies, experience gained from similar sites for which environmental assessments or remediation have been completed, and the amount of our anticipated liability considering the proportional liability and financial abilities of other responsible parties. Usually, the timing of these accruals coincides with the completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action. Please read “Note 19—Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information about our environmental liabilities and assessments.
We record asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) at fair value in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. Estimating the cost and timing of future remedial efforts is difficult and related technologies, costs, regulatory and other compliance considerations, timing, discount rates, and other inputs considered in the valuations are subject to change. Please read “Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, “Asset Retirement Obligations,” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and NOL and tax credit carry
68
forwards. The realizability of deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly based on a “more likely than not” standard and, to the extent this threshold is not met, a valuation allowance is recorded. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. These liabilities are recorded based on our assessment of existing tax laws and regulations. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences become deductible and may vary from our estimates for a number of reasons, including different interpretations of tax laws and regulations. New tax laws and regulations, and changes to existing tax laws and regulations, are proposed and promulgated continuously. The implementation of future tax laws and regulatory initiatives, as well as future interpretations on historical tax laws and regulations, could result in increased tax liabilities that cannot be predicted at this time. Please read “Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, “Income Taxes,” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, we analyzed projections for our future taxable income and the absence of objective negative evidence, such as a cumulative loss in recent years. As a result of this analysis, we determined that we had sufficient positive evidence to release a majority of the valuation allowance against our federal net deferred tax assets and recognized a non-cash deferred tax benefit of $277.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. We retained a partial valuation allowance on certain state deferred tax assets primarily as a result of apportionment factors from minimal activity in certain states impacting assessed likelihood of future realizability. We will continue to reassess whether the balance of the valuation allowance is appropriate on a yearly basis and, given the totality of the facts and circumstances, both positive and negative, will adjust the remaining valuation allowance in future periods if the evidence supports doing so.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a growing energy company based in Houston, Texas, that provides both renewable and conventional fuels to the western United States. For more information, please read “Part I –Item 1. — Business—Overview” of this Form 10-K.
Known Trends or Uncertainties
While the market indices presented below under “Item 7. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations” are representative of the results of our refineries, each refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis will differ from the benchmark due to a variety of factors that affect the performance of the specific refinery. These factors include, but are not limited to, the actual type and timing of crude oil throughput; product yields; transportation and storage costs; fuel burn; product premiums or discounts; inventory fluctuations; feedstock and product purchases; commodity price risk-management activities; crude oil purchase financing activities; and other factors not reflected in the benchmark refining margin. We operate in logistically complex, niche markets and, as such, each of our refineries has unique cost advantages and disadvantages as compared to their respective relevant market indices.
Recent Events Affecting Comparability of Periods
Inflation. Energy prices are, among other factors, indicators of inflation, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has taken significant steps to curb inflation. After aggressively raising interest rates in 2022 and early 2023 to bring down inflation, the Fed cut interest rates in 2024 in response to positive indicators of economic growth, including easing labor market conditions and lower inflation. Interest rates decreased to a range of 4.25% to 4.50% in December 2024 from 5.25% to 5.50% in December 2023. Crude oil pricing decreased in 2024 compared to 2023. Brent crude oil pricing averaged $79.86 per barrel in 2024 compared to $82.17 per barrel in 2023. The U.S. retail price for regular-grade gasoline averaged $3.30 per gallon in 2024 compared to $3.52 per gallon in 2023. This decline was due, in part, to lower crude oil prices in 2024 compared to 2023, as noted above, as well as lower global demand primarily driven by decreased demand in China. The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) revised its forecast in its February 2025 Oil Market Report, which projected higher global oil demand in 2025 citing China, India, and other emerging Asian economies as the primary sources of growth. The overall energy index increased to 3.6% year over year as of December 2024. While inflation has improved relative to prior years, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in 2024. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases, or price increases could lead to a decline in demand for our products, which could have a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Geopolitical Conflicts. Given the nature of our operations, including sourcing crude oil and feedstocks, geopolitical conflicts may affect our business and results of operations. The Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Palestine conflict, Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, and Iranian activities in the Strait of Hormuz have all continued to disrupt global trade patterns, increase crude oil price volatility, and increase freight costs and delivery times. The overall effect of these conflicts and actions taken to limit the purchase of Russian petroleum products in response to the Russia-Ukraine war have raised the operating costs of many European and other refineries.
We continue to actively monitor the impact of these and other global situations on our people, operations, financial condition, liquidity, suppliers, customers, and industry, and are actively responding to the impacts that these matters have on our business. Please read “Item 1A. — Risk Factors” for more information on risks and uncertainties, including those related to economic factors, and their potential impacts on our business.
For purposes of this section, “legacy portfolio” and “legacy refining operations” refer to our Hawaii, Wyoming, and Washington refineries, and exclude our Montana refinery acquired in June 2023.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023
Net Income (Loss). Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024, declined from a Net income of $728.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, to a Net loss of $33.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was driven by a $658.8 million decrease in refining segment Operating income, a $109.6 million decrease in Income tax benefit, a $25.3 million decrease in Equity earnings from Laramie Energy, LLC, and a $17.4 million increase in general and
30
administrative expenses, partially offset by a $19.7 million increase in logistics segment Operating income, a $17.5 million decrease in Debt extinguishment and commitment costs, and a $17.4 million decrease in Acquisition and integration costs related to our Billings Acquisition. Please read the discussions of segment and consolidated results below for additional information.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. For the year ended December 31, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was $238.7 million compared to $696.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily related to a $376.7 million decrease in our refining segment Adjusted Gross Margin and a $98.7 million increase in operating expenses, partially offset by increases of $14.6 million and $9.4 million in our logistics and retail segment Adjusted Gross Margins, respectively. Please read the discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin by Segment and the Discussion of Consolidated Results below for additional information.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Adjusted Net Income was $21.2 million compared to $501.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decline was primarily related to the same factors described above for the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a $12.0 million increase in interest expense and financing costs, excluding unrealized interest rate derivative losses (gains), an $11.8 million increase in Depreciation and amortization, and a $9.2 million decrease in cash distributions received from Laramie Energy, LLC, partially offset by a decrease in Income tax expense, net of impacts due to changes in the valuation allowance and other deferred tax items of $13.3 million.
Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2022
Net Income. Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023, improved from a Net income of $364.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, to $728.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was driven by a $274.3 million increase in refining segment Operating income, an increase of $116.0 million in Income tax benefit, and a $15.7 million increase in logistics segment Operating income, partially offset by a $29.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses, a $13.8 million increase in Acquisition and integration costs related to our Billings Acquisition, and a $2.4 million increase in expenses related to Par West redevelopment. Please read the discussions of segment and consolidated results below for additional information.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA was $696.2 million compared to $643.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The improvement was primarily related to an increase of $54.7 million in our refining segment, an increase of $22.3 million in our logistics segment, and an increase of $8.0 million in our retail segment, partially offset by a decrease of $32.3 million in our corporate segment. Please read the discussion of segment results below for additional information.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, Adjusted Net Income was $501.2 million compared to an Adjusted Net Income of $474.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The improvement was primarily related to the same factors described above for the increase in Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by a $20.0 million increase in Depreciation and amortization.

________________________________________________________
(1)The 2024 amounts for the total refining segment represent the sum of the Hawaii, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming refineries’ throughput or sales volumes averaged over the year ended December 31, 2024. Feedstocks throughput and sales volumes per day for the Montana refinery for the year ended December 31, 2023, are calculated based on the 214-day period for which we owned the Montana refinery in 2023. As such, the amounts for the total refining segment represent the sum of the Hawaii, Washington, and Wyoming refineries’ throughput or sales volumes averaged over the year ended December 31, 2023, plus the Montana refinery’s throughput or sales volumes averaged over the period from June 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. The 2022 amounts for the total refining segment represent the sum of the Hawaii, Washington, and Wyoming refineries’ throughput or sales volumes averaged over the year ended December 31, 2022.
(2)We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel by dividing Adjusted Gross Margin by total refining throughput. Adjusted Gross Margin for our Washington refinery is determined under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory costing method. Adjusted Gross Margin for our other refineries is determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory costing method. The definition of Adjusted Gross Margin was modified beginning with the financial results reported for periods in fiscal year 2022. We have recast Adjusted Gross Margin for prior periods when reported to conform to the modified presentation. Please see discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin below.
(3)Management uses production costs per barrel to evaluate performance and compare efficiency to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate production costs per barrel; different companies within the industry calculate it in different ways. We calculate production costs per barrel by dividing all direct production costs, which include the costs to run the refineries, including personnel costs, repair and maintenance costs, insurance, utilities, and other miscellaneous costs, by total refining throughput. Our production costs are included in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) on our consolidated statements of operations, which also includes costs related to our bulk marketing operations and severance costs.
(4)Beginning in 2025, we established the Hawaii Index as a new benchmark for our Hawaii operations. We believe the Hawaii Index, which incorporates market cracks and landed crude differentials, better reflects the key drivers impacting our Hawaii refinery’s financial performance compared to prior reported market indices. The Hawaii Index is calculated as the Singapore 3.1.2 Product Crack, or one part gasoline (RON 92) and two parts distillates (Sing Jet & Sing gasoil) as created from a barrel of Brent crude oil, less the Par Hawaii Refining, LLC (“PHR”) crude differential.
(5)Beginning in 2025, we established the Montana Index as a new benchmark for our Montana refinery. We believe the Montana Index, which incorporates local market cracks, regional crude oil prices, and management’s estimates for other costs of sales, better reflects the key drivers impacting our Montana refinery’s financial performance compared to prior reported market indices. Beginning in 2025, market cracks have been updated to reflect local market product pricing, which better reflects our Montana refinery’s refined product sales price compared to prior reported market indices. The Montana Index is calculated as the Montana 6.3.2.1 Product Crack less Montana crude costs, less other costs of sales, including inflation-adjusted product delivery costs, yield loss expense, taxes and tariffs, and product discounts. The Montana 6.3.2.1 Product Crack is calculated by taking three parts gasoline (Billings E10 and Spokane E10), two parts distillate (Billings ULSD and Spokane ULSD), and one part asphalt (Rocky Mountain Rail Asphalt) as created from a barrel of WTI crude oil, less 100% of the RVO cost for gasoline and ULSD. Asphalt pricing is lagged by one month. The Montana crude cost is calculated as 60% WCS differential to WTI, 20% MSW differential to WTI, and 20% Syncrude differential to WTI. The Montana crude cost is lagged by three months and includes an inflation-adjusted crude delivery cost. Other costs of sales and crude delivery costs are based on historical averages and management’s estimates.
(6)Beginning in 2025, we established the Washington Index as a new benchmark for our Washington refinery. We believe the Washington Index, which incorporates local market cracks, regional crude oil prices, and management’s estimates for other costs of sales, better reflects the key drivers impacting our Washington refinery’s financial performance compared to prior reported market indices. Beginning in 2025, market cracks have been updated to reflect local market product pricing, which better reflects our Washington refinery’s refined product sales price compared to prior reported market indices. The Washington Index is calculated as the Washington 3.1.1.1 Product Crack, less Washington crude costs, less other costs of sales, including inflation-adjusted product delivery costs, yield loss expense and state and local taxes. The Washington 3.1.1.1 Product Crack is calculated by taking one part gasoline (Tacoma E10), one part distillate (Tacoma ULSD) and one part secondary products (USGC VGO and Rocky Mountain Rail Asphalt) as created from a barrel of WTI crude oil, less 100% of the RVO cost for gasoline and ULSD. Asphalt pricing is lagged by one month. The Washington crude cost is calculated as 67% Bakken Williston differential to WTI and 33% WCS Hardisty differential to WTI. The Washington crude cost is lagged by one month and includes an inflation-adjusted crude delivery cost. Other costs of sales and crude delivery costs are based on historical averages and management’s estimates.
(7)Beginning in 2025, we established the Wyoming Index as a new benchmark for our Wyoming refinery. We believe the Wyoming Index, which incorporates local market cracks, regional crude oil prices, and management’s estimates for other costs of sales, better reflects the key drivers impacting our Wyoming refinery’s financial performance compared to prior
36
reported market indices. Beginning in 2025, market cracks have also been updated to reflect local market product pricing, which better reflects our Wyoming refinery’s refined product sales price compared to prior reported market indices. The Wyoming Index is calculated as the Wyoming 2.1.1 Product Crack, less Wyoming crude costs, less other cost of sales, including inflation adjusted product delivery costs and yield loss expense, based on historical averages and management’s estimates. The Wyoming 2.1.1 Product Crack is calculated by taking one part gasoline (Rockies gasoline) and one part distillate (USGC ULSD and USGC Jet) as created from a barrel of WTI crude oil, less 100% of the RVO cost for gasoline and ULSD. The Wyoming crude cost is calculated as the Bakken Guernsey differential to WTI on a one-month lag.
(8)Beginning in 2025, crude oil prices have been updated and expanded to reflect regional differentials to Brent and WTI, which better reflect our refineries’ feedstock costs compared to prior crude oil pricing.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and forecasts to allocate resources and evaluate our operating performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies since each company may define these terms differently.
We believe Adjusted Gross Margin (as defined below) provides useful information to investors because it eliminates the gross impact of volatile commodity prices and adjusts for certain non-cash items and timing differences created by our inventory financing agreements and lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to demonstrate the earnings potential of the business before other fixed and variable costs, which are reported separately in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) and Depreciation and amortization. Operating expense includes certain shared costs such as finance, accounting, tax, human resources, information technology, and legal costs that are not directly attributable to specific operating segments. The criteria used to determine the allocation of these expenses generally reflect the time and resources required to provide the applicable service to other internal stakeholders. Remaining expenses are included in the reconciliation of reportable segment Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated pre-tax income (loss) as unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses.
Management, including the CODM, uses Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel to evaluate operating performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry and to industry benchmarks. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) are useful supplemental financial measures that allow management and investors to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis, the ability of our assets to generate cash to pay interest on our indebtedness, and our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure.
Beginning with financial results reported for periods in fiscal year 2022, the inventory valuation adjustment was modified to include the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory gains (losses) associated with our titled manufactured inventory in Hawaii. This modification was made to better align Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA with the cash flow of the Hawaii refining business.
Beginning with financial results reported for the second quarter of 2023, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA exclude our portion of interest, taxes, and depreciation expense from our refining and logistics investments acquired on June 1, 2023, as part of the Billings Acquisition.
Beginning with financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2023, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude all hedge losses (gains) associated with our Washington ending inventory and LIFO layer increment impacts associated with our Washington inventory. In addition, we have modified our environmental obligation mark-to-market adjustment to include only the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net RINs liability and net
37
obligation associated with the Washington Climate Commitment Act (“Washington CCA”) and Clean Fuel Standard. This modification was made as part of our change in how we estimate our environmental obligation liabilities.
Beginning with financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2023, Adjusted Net Income (loss) excludes unrealized interest rate derivative losses (gains) and all Laramie Energy related impacts with the exception of cash distributions. We have recast Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for prior periods when reported to conform to the modified presentation. Please read Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Environmental Credits and Obligations section, for a discussion of the change in estimate.
Beginning with financial results reported for the first quarter of 2024, Adjusted Net Income (loss) also excludes other non-operating income and expenses. This modification improves comparability between periods by excluding income and expenses resulting from non-operating activities.
Effective as of the fourth quarter of 2024, we have modified our definition of Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to align the accounting treatment for deferred turnaround costs from our refining and logistics investments with our accounting policy. Under this approach, we exclude our share of their turnaround expenses, which are recorded as period costs in their financial statements, and instead defer and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over the period estimated until the next planned turnaround. This modification enhances consistency and comparability across reporting periods.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Operating income (loss) excluding:
•operating expense (excluding depreciation);
•depreciation and amortization (“D&A”);
•Par’s portion of interest, taxes, and D&A expense from refining and logistics investments;
•impairment expense;
•loss (gain) on sale of assets, net;
•Par's portion of accounting policy differences from refining and logistics investments;
•inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase or terminal obligations, hedge losses (gains) associated with our Washington ending inventory and intermediation obligation, purchase price allocation adjustments, and LIFO layer increment and decrement impacts associated with our Washington inventory);
•Environmental obligation mark-to-market adjustment (which represents the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net RINs liability and our net obligation associated with the Washington Climate Commitment Act and Clean Fuel Standard); and
•unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives.

Income Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an Income tax benefit of $115.3 million primarily related to the release of the federal tax valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2023, partially offset by state taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded an Income tax expense of $0.7 million primarily driven by an increase in state taxable income and recording a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.
Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
On February 28, 2023, Par Petroleum, LLC (“Par Borrower”) entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) due 2030 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Term Loan Credit Agreement was co-issued by Par Petroleum Finance Corp. (together with the Par Borrower, the “Term Loan Borrowers”), which has no independent assets or operations. The Term Loan Credit Agreement is guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis only as to payment of principal and interest by Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (the “Parent”) and is guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of the subsidiaries of Par Borrower. The Term Loan Credit Agreement proceeds were used to refinance our existing Term Loan B and repurchase our outstanding 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, all three of which had similar guarantees that were replaced by those on the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial information reflects (i) the Parent’s separate accounts, (ii) Par Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries’ accounts (which are all guarantors of the Term Loan Credit Agreement), (iii) the accounts of subsidiaries of the Parent that are not guarantors of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and consolidating adjustments and eliminations, and (iv) the Parent’s consolidated accounts for the dates and periods indicated. For purposes of the following condensed consolidating information, the Parent’s investment in its subsidiaries is accounted for under the equity method of accounting (dollar amounts in thousands).

(1) The income tax benefit (expense) of the Parent Guarantor and Par Borrower and Subsidiaries is determined using the separate return method. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and Eliminations column includes tax benefits recognized at the Par consolidated level that are primarily associated with changes to the consolidated valuation allowance and other deferred tax balances.
(2) The acquisition and integration expense related to the Billings Acquisition was pushed down from the Parent Guarantor to the Issuer and Subsidiaries upon consummation of the transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources and Available Liquidity
Our liquidity and capital requirements are primarily a function of our debt maturities and debt service requirements and contractual obligations, capital expenditures, turnaround outlays, and working capital needs. Examples of working capital needs include purchases and sales of commodities and associated margin and collateral requirements, facility maintenance costs, and other costs such as payroll. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash on hand, amounts available under our credit agreements, and access to capital markets.
Our liquidity position as of December 31, 2024, was $613.7 million that consisted of $191.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $421.8 million of availability under the ABL Credit Facility. Generally, the primary uses of our capital resources have been in the operations of our refining and retail segments, for payments related to acquisitions, and to repay or refinance indebtedness.
We believe our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our current capital and turnaround expenditures, working capital, and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. We may seek to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund acquisitions and any other significant changes to our business or to refinance existing debt. We cannot offer any assurances that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or at an acceptable cost.
Significant Developments
On April 26, 2023, we terminated the prior ABL Credit Facility and entered into a new ABL Credit Facility. On June 1, 2023, we closed the Billings Acquisition; please read Note 5—Acquisitions to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information. On July 26, 2023, we entered into the July 2023 S&O Amendment in connection with a new LC Facility. On October 4, 2023, we entered into the Second Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility and terminated the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement. On March 22, 2024, we amended our asset-based loan to permit expanding its capacity from $900 million to $1.4 billion as we planned for the refinancing of our Supply and Offtake Agreement. On May 31, 2024, our Supply and Offtake Agreement with J.Aron expired and we entered into an Inventory Intermediation Agreement with Citi and a Joinder Agreement as a borrower to the ABL Credit Facility. We also early terminated our LC Facility. On November 25, 2024, we amended the Term Loan Credit Agreement to increase the size of the term loan from $550.0 million to $650.0 million.
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, we had significant activity related to our inventory financing and debt agreements. Please read Note 12—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 14—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion of significant activity related to our inventory financing and debt agreements, respectively.
Other Sources of Liquidity
We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our common stock through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. On November 10, 2021, the Board authorized and approved a share repurchase program for up to $50 million of the currently outstanding shares of our common stock, with no specified end date. On August 2, 2023, the Board approved expanding the Company’s share repurchase authorization from $50 million to $250 million. On February 21, 2025, the Board authorized and approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of common stock, with no specified end date. This repurchase program terminated and replaced the prior share repurchase authorization. Please read Note 19—Stockholders’ Equity to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion on the share repurchase program. The Term Loan Credit Agreement may also require annual prepayments of principal with a variable percentage of our excess cash flow, 50%, 25%, or 0% depending on our consolidated year end secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement).

Cash Requirements
We have various cash requirements stemming from investment strategies, contractual obligations, and financial commitments in the normal course of our operations and financing activities. Contractual obligations include future cash payments required under existing contractual arrangements, such as debt and lease agreements. These cash requirements and obligations may result from both general financing activities and from commercial arrangements that are directly related to our operating activities. We also continue to seek strategic investments in business opportunities, however the amount and timing of those investments are not predictable. Our material cash requirements as of December 31, 2024 include:
Debt and Interest Payments. Current and long-term debt includes the scheduled principal payments related to our outstanding debt obligations and ABL Credit Facility. Our estimated interest payments due for 2025 are $51.2 million and our total estimated undiscounted future interest payments will be $260.3 million on the debt obligations held as of December 31, 2024, and using interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2024. Please read Note 14—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Debt Refinancing. On February 28, 2023, we entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The proceeds were used to repurchase and cancel the then-outstanding 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes and terminate and repay all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan B Facility. As a result of this refinancing, our debt maturity was extended from 2026 to 2030 and, using interest rates that were in effect at December 31, 2023, our estimated undiscounted future interest payments increased to $310 million. On April 26, 2023, we terminated the prior ABL Credit Facility and entered into a new ABL Credit Facility. On October 4, 2023, we terminated the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement in connection with the Second Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility that increased the borrowing base. On March 22, 2024, we entered into the Third Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility, conditional upon the termination of the Company’s existing intermediation agreement with J. Aron, to among other things, increase our total revolver commitment to $1.4 billion. On May 31, 2024, we entered into the Inventory Intermediation Agreement with Citi. Pursuant to the Inventory Intermediation Agreement, Citi will purchase and deliver crude oil to PHR for use at its refinery located in Kapolei, Hawaii. The Inventory Intermediation Agreement replaces the Supply and Offtake Agreement between PHR and J. Aron that was terminated on May 31, 2024. On November 25, 2024, we amended the Term Loan Credit Agreement to increase the size of the term loan from $550.0 million to $650.0 million. Please read Note 12—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 14—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Capital Expenditures and Turnaround Costs. Our deferred turnaround costs and capital expenditures, including land and building purchases but excluding acquisitions, for the year ended December 31, 2024, totaled approximately $209.0 million and were primarily related to the 2024 turnaround and related scheduled maintenance work at our Montana refinery, capital projects at our Hawaii and Tacoma refineries, our Retail businesses, and sustaining maintenance at each of our refineries. Our capital expenditures and deferred turnaround costs budget for 2025 is approximately $210 to $240 million and primarily relates to scheduled maintenance, capital projects, and turnaround projects related to regulatory compliance, information technology, and growth across each of our businesses.
Operating Lease Liabilities. Operating lease liabilities primarily include obligations associated with the lease of land, office space, retail facilities, and other facilities used in the storage and transportation of crude oil and refined products. Please read Note 17—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Finance Lease Liabilities. Finance lease liabilities primarily include obligations associated with the lease of retail facilities and vehicles. Please read Note 17—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Purchase Commitments. Purchase commitments primarily consist of contracts executed as of December 31, 2024, for the purchase of crude oil for use at our refineries that are scheduled for delivery in 2025. As of December 31, 2024, we have material purchase commitments of $3.4 billion, with required cash outlays primarily expected in the next twelve months.
Environmental Matters. Our operations are subject to extensive and periodically-changing federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations including but not limited to air emissions, wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management activities. Additionally, we have asset retirement obligations in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government or regulatory action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. Please read Note 11—Asset Retirement Obligations and Note 18—Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
60
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations were based on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Our significant accounting policies are described in our audited consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K. We have identified certain estimates as being of particular importance to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and which require the application of significant judgment by management. We analyze our estimates on a periodic basis, including those related to fair value, impairments, natural gas and crude oil reserves, bad debts, natural gas and oil properties, income taxes, derivatives, contingencies, and litigation and base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Inventory and Obligations Under Inventory Financing Agreements
Commodity inventories, excluding commodity inventories at the Washington refinery, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the FIFO accounting method. Commodity inventories at the Washington refinery are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the LIFO inventory accounting method. We value merchandise along with spare parts, materials, and supplies at weighted average cost. Estimating the net realizable value of our inventory requires management to make assumptions about the timing of sales and the expected proceeds that will be realized for these sales. Please read Note 7—Inventories to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Crude oil held in storage tanks at, and certain crude oil in transit to, the Hawaii refinery are financed by Citi under procurement contracts. The crude oil remains in the legal title of Citi and is stored in our storage tanks governed by a storage facilities agreement. Legal title to the stored crude oil passes to us at the tank outlet. After processing, Citi takes title to the refined products stored in our storage tanks until they are sold to third parties. Citi takes legal title of crude oil in transit at the specified purchase location with the third party supplier. We purchase the crude oil shipment from Citi at the SPM delivery point and we sell an equal quantity and quality of crude oil to Citi at the crude intake point. Legal title to crude oil in transit passes to us at the SPM delivery point for the upstream leg, and legal title passes to Citi at the crude intake point for the downstream leg. We record the inventory owned by Citi on our behalf as inventory with a corresponding obligation on our balance sheet in the amount we expect to pay to satisfy the repurchase obligation for the crude oil inventory then-owned by Citi following the expiration or termination of the Inventory Intermediation Agreement. The valuation of our repurchase obligation requires that we make estimates of the prices and differentials assuming settlement occurs at the end of the reporting period.
Please read Note 12—Inventory Financing Agreements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding our Hawaii inventory financing agreement.
Fair Value Measurements
We measure certain assets and liabilities at their fair market value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments and environmental credit obligations. We also measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when specific triggering events occur, such as business combinations and events which indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In estimating fair value, we use discounted cash flow projections, recent comparable market transactions, if available, or quoted prices. We consider assumptions that third parties would make in estimating fair value, including the highest and best use of the asset. The assumptions used by another party could differ significantly from our assumptions.
We classify fair value balances based on the classification of the inputs used to calculate the fair value of a transaction. The inputs used to measure fair value have been placed in a hierarchy based on priority. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted, readily observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Please read Note 16—Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Business Combinations
We recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations separately from goodwill at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. We obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists in estimating fair values of tangible and intangible assets
61
based on available historical information and on expectations and assumptions about the future, considering the perspectives of marketplace participants. These valuation methods require management to make estimates and assumptions regarding characteristics of the acquired property and future revenues and expenses. Changes in these estimates and assumptions would result in different amounts allocated to the related assets and liabilities. The measurement period may be up to one year from the acquisition date; we may record adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation during this time, concluding at the end of the one year period or final determination of the values of consideration transferred and assets and liabilities assumed, whichever comes first. Subsequent adjustments, if any, are recorded to the consolidated statement of operations. Please read Note 5—Acquisitions and Note 16—Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets
We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill of a reporting unit may not be fully recoverable. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a quantitative test is required. Under the quantitative test, we compare the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment loss is recorded. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we estimate the present value of expected future cash flows using a market participant discount rate. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value using observable multiples for comparable companies within our industry. These valuation methods require us to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows, capital projects, commodity prices, long-term growth rates, and discount rates. Please read Note 10—Goodwill and Intangible Assets to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
We review property, plant, and equipment, operating leases, deferred turnaround costs, and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We use a cash flows model to estimate value because there is usually a lack of quoted market prices available for long-lived assets. Future cash flow estimates used for impairment reviews are based on assessments requiring judgment, including future production volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, margins, discount rates, expected capital expenditures, and other factors based on all available information available as of the date of the review. Impairment is required when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying value. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value. The fair value of long-lived assets is determined using the income approach. Please read Note 9—Property, Plant, and Equipment to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Environmental Matters and Asset Retirement Obligations
We record liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Cost estimates are based on the expected timing and extent of remedial actions required by governing agencies, experience gained from similar sites for which environmental assessments or remediation have been completed, and the amount of our anticipated liability considering the proportional liability and financial abilities of other responsible parties. Usually, the timing of these accruals coincides with the completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action. Please read Note 18—Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information about our environmental liabilities and assessments.
We record asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) at fair value in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. Estimating the cost and timing of future remedial efforts is difficult and related technologies, costs, regulatory and other compliance considerations, timing, discount rates, and other inputs considered in the valuations are subject to change. Please read Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Asset Retirement Obligations,” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and NOL and tax credit carry
62
forwards. The realizability of deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly based on a “more likely than not” standard and, to the extent this threshold is not met, a valuation allowance is recorded. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. These liabilities are recorded based on our assessment of existing tax laws and regulations. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences become deductible and may vary from our estimates for a number of reasons, including different interpretations of tax laws and regulations. New tax laws and regulations, and changes to existing tax laws and regulations, are proposed and promulgated continuously. The implementation of future tax laws and regulatory initiatives, as well as future interpretations on historical tax laws and regulations, could result in increased tax liabilities that cannot be predicted at this time. Please read Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Income Taxes,” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, we analyzed projections for our future taxable income and the absence of objective negative evidence, such as a cumulative loss in recent years. As a result of this analysis, we determined that we have sufficient positive evidence to release a majority of the valuation allowance against our federal net deferred tax assets and recognized a non-cash deferred tax benefit of $277.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. We retain a partial valuation allowance on certain state deferred tax assets primarily as a result of apportionment factors from minimal activity in certain states impacting assessed likelihood of future realizability. We will continue to reassess whether the balance of the valuation allowance is appropriate on a yearly basis and, given the totality of the facts and circumstances, both positive and negative, will adjust the remaining valuation allowance in future periods if the evidence supports doing so.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a growing energy company based in Houston, Texas, that provides both renewable and conventional fuels to the western United States. For more information, please read “Part I –Item 1. — Business—Overview” of this Form 10-K.
Known Trends or Uncertainties
While the market indices presented below under “Item 7. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations” are representative of the results of our refineries, each refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis will differ from the benchmark due to a variety of factors that affect the performance of the specific refinery. These factors include, but are not limited to, the actual type and timing of crude oil throughput; product yields; transportation and storage costs; fuel burn; product premiums or discounts; inventory fluctuations; feedstock and product purchases; commodity price risk-management activities; crude oil purchase financing activities; and other factors not reflected in the benchmark refining margin. We operate in logistically complex, niche markets and, as such, each of our refineries has unique cost advantages and disadvantages as compared to their respective relevant market indices.
Recent Events Affecting Comparability of Periods
Inflation. Energy prices are, among other factors, indicators of inflation, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has taken significant steps to curb inflation, and continued to increase interest rates in 2023, from near zero percent at the beginning of 2022 to a range of 5.25% to 5.5% in December 2023. These actions by the Fed acted to lower U.S. inflation rates, which have decreased 3.4% year over year as of the December inflation report released in January 2024. In 2023, the U.S. retail price for regular-grade gasoline averaged $3.52 per gallon, a decrease from gasoline price highs of approximately $5.01 per gallon in summer 2022. This decline was due, in part, to lower crude oil prices in 2023 compared to 2022 and higher gasoline inventories in the second half of 2023. The overall energy index decreased to negative 2.0% year over year as of December 2023. While inflation has improved relative to prior years, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in 2023. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases, or price increases could lead to a decline in demand for our products, which could have a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
The COVID-19 Pandemic. Subsequent to the pandemic, and various preventive and mitigating measures taken in response, refined product demand has largely returned to 2019 levels. Despite global additions to refining capacity, the availability of refining capacity has not kept pace with demand, and global refinery utilization is above normal levels. Consequently, refining product margins have been consistently above pre-pandemic margins since the spring of 2022. Another pandemic event could cause a return to severe restrictions, leading to a deterioration of macroeconomic conditions and our industry. For more information, please read “Item 1. — Business — Markets” of this Form 10-K.
Geopolitical Conflicts. Given the nature of our operations, including sourcing crude oil and feedstocks, geopolitical conflicts may affect our business and results of operations. The Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Palestine conflict, Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, and Iranian activities in the Strait of Hormuz have all disrupted global trade patterns, increased crude oil price volatility, and increased freight costs and delivery times.
We continue to actively monitor the impact of these and other global situations on our people, operations, financial condition, liquidity, suppliers, customers, and industry, and are actively responding to the impacts that these matters have on our business. Please read “Item 1A. — Risk Factors” for more information on risks and uncertainties, including those related to economic factors, and their potential impacts on our business.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2022
Net Income. Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023 improved from a net income of $364.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $728.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was driven by a $274.3 million increase in refining segment operating income, an increase of $116.0 million in income tax benefit, and a $15.7 million increase in logistics segment operating income, partially offset by a $29.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses, a $13.8 million increase in acquisitions and integration expenses related to our Billings Acquisition,
30
and a $2.4 million increase in expenses related to Par West operations and redevelopment. Please read the discussions of segment and consolidated results below for additional information.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA was $696.2 million compared to $643.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The improvement was primarily related to an increase of $54.7 million in our refining segment, an increase of $22.3 million in our logistics segment, and an increase of $8.0 million in our retail segment, partially offset by a decrease of $32.3 million in our corporate segment. Please read the discussion of segment results below for additional information.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, Adjusted Net Income was $501.2 million compared to $474.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The improvement was primarily related to the same factors described above for the increase in Adjusted EBITDA partially offset by a $20.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization.
Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021
Net Income (Loss). Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022 improved from a net loss of $81.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to net income of $364.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The improvement was primarily driven by widened product crack spreads across all of our refineries and a favorable change in the valuation of the embedded derivatives related to our inventory financing agreements driven by changes in commodity prices. These improvements were partially offset by unfavorable purchased product and crude oil differentials, unfavorable FIFO adjustments, increased intermediation fees of $79.0 million, and a $54.7 million increase in RINs expenses. Other factors impacting our results period over period include a 2021 gain on sale of assets of $63.9 million related to the Hawaii sale-leaseback transactions with no such gain in 2022 and a 14% increase in operating expenses compared to 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss). For the year ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $643.4 million compared to $125.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The improvement was primarily related to favorable realized refined product crack spreads at all our refineries, partially offset by unfavorable purchased product and crude oil differentials and unfavorable FIFO adjustments, unfavorable inventory financing and environmental compliance costs, and higher operating expenses compared to 2021.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted Net Income was $474.7 million compared to an Adjusted Net Loss of $39.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The change was primarily related to the same factors described above for the increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

________________________________________________________
(1)Feedstocks throughput and sales volumes per day for the Montana refinery for the year ended December 31, 2023 are calculated based on the 214-day period for which we owned the Montana refinery in 2023. As such, the amounts for the total refining segment represent the sum of the Hawaii, Washington, and Wyoming refineries’ throughput or sales volumes averaged over the year ended December 31, 2023 plus the Montana refinery’s throughput or sales volumes averaged over the period from June 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The 2022 and 2021 amounts for the total refining segment represent the sum of the Hawaii, Washington, and Wyoming refineries’ throughput or sales volumes averaged over the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
(2)We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel by dividing Adjusted Gross Margin by total refining throughput. Adjusted Gross Margin for our Washington refinery is determined under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory costing method. Adjusted Gross Margin for our other refineries is determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory costing method. The definition of Adjusted Gross Margin was modified beginning with the financial results reported for periods in
35
fiscal year 2022. We have recast Adjusted Gross Margin for prior periods when reported to conform to the modified presentation. Please see discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin below.
(3)Management uses production costs per barrel to evaluate performance and compare efficiency to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate production costs per barrel; different companies within the industry calculate it in different ways. We calculate production costs per barrel by dividing all direct production costs, which include the costs to run the refineries including personnel costs, repair and maintenance costs, insurance, utilities, and other miscellaneous costs, by total refining throughput. Our production costs are included in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) on our consolidated statement of operations, which also includes costs related to our bulk marketing operations.
(4)We believe the 3-1-2 Singapore Crack Spread (or three barrels of Brent crude oil converted into one barrel of gasoline and two barrels of distillates (diesel and jet fuel)) is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Hawaii.
(5)We believe the RVO Adjusted Pacific Northwest 3-1-1-1 (or three barrels of WTI crude oil converted into one barrel of Pacific Northwest gasoline, one barrel of Pacific Northwest ULSD and one barrel of USGC VGO, less 100% of the RVO cost for gasoline and ULSD) is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Washington with improved historical correlations to our reported adjusted gross margin compared to prior reported indices.
(6)We believe the RVO Adjusted USGC 3-2-1 (or three barrels of WTI crude oil converted into two barrels of USGC gasoline and one barrel of USGC ULSD, less 100% of the RVO cost) is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Montana and Wyoming with improved historical correlations to our reported adjusted gross margin compared to prior reported indices.
(7)Crude pricing has been updated to reflect simple averages of outright prices during the relevant period.
Below is a summary of key operating statistics for the retail segment for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | ||||||
| Retail Segment | ||||||||
| Retail sales volumes (thousands of gallons) | 117,550 | 105,456 | 109,150 |
Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are considered non-GAAP financial measures. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies since each company may define these terms differently.
We believe Adjusted Gross Margin (as defined below) provides useful information to investors because it eliminates the gross impact of volatile commodity prices and adjusts for certain non-cash items and timing differences created by our inventory financing agreements and lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to demonstrate the earnings potential of the business before other fixed and variable costs, which are reported separately in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) and Depreciation and amortization. Management uses Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel to evaluate operating performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry and to industry benchmarks. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) are useful supplemental financial measures that allow investors to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis, the ability of our assets to generate cash to pay interest on our indebtedness, and our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure.
Beginning with financial results reported for periods in fiscal year 2023, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net obligation related to the Washington Climate Commitment Act and Clean Fuel Standard, which became effective on January, 1, 2023.
Beginning with financial results reported for periods in fiscal year 2023, Adjusted Net Income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude the redevelopment and other costs for our Par West facility, which was shut down in 2020. This modification improves comparability between periods by excluding expenses incurred in connection with the strategic redevelopment of this non-operating facility. We have recast Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods when reported to conform to the modified presentation.

Beginning with financial results reported for the second quarter of 2023, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude our portion of interest, taxes, and depreciation expense from our refining and logistics investments acquired on June 1, 2023, as part of the Billings Acquisition.
Beginning with financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2023, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA excludes all hedge losses (gains) associated with our Washington ending inventory and LIFO layer increment impacts associated with our Washington inventory. In addition, we have modified our environmental obligation mark-to-market adjustment to include only the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net RINs liability and net obligation associated with the Washington Climate Commitment Act (“Washington CCA”) and Clean Fuel Standard. This modification was made as part of our change in how we estimate our environmental obligation liabilities.
Beginning with financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2023, Adjusted Net Income (loss) excludes unrealized interest rate derivative losses (gains) and all Laramie Energy related impacts with the exception of cash distributions. Please read Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Environmental Credits and Obligations section, for a discussion of the change in estimate.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as operating income (loss) excluding:
•operating expense (excluding depreciation);
•depreciation and amortization (“D&A”);
•Par’s portion of interest, taxes, and depreciation expense from refining and logistics investments;
•impairment expense;
•loss (gain) on sale of assets, net;
•inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase or terminal obligations, hedge losses (gains) associated with our Washington ending inventory and intermediation obligation, purchase price allocation adjustments, and LIFO layer increment and decrement impacts associated with our Washington inventory);
•Environmental obligation mark-to-market adjustment (which represents the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net RINs liability and our net obligation associated with the Washington Climate Commitment Act and Clean Fuel Standard); and
•unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives.

Discussion of Operating Income by Segment
Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2022
Refining. Operating income for our refining segment was $676.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an improvement of $274.3 million compared to $401.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | a decrease of $140.0 million in environmental credit and related obligations costs across our refineries in our legacy portfolio driven by favorable mark-to-market adjustments and a gain on retirement of prior year RINs, |
39
| • | an increase of $106.0 million driven by a 6% increase in refined product sales volumes at our refineries in our legacy portfolio, |
|---|---|
| • | a favorable change in step-out obligations related to our intermediation agreements of $79.5 million driven by changes in commodity prices, |
| • | a net decrease of $76.4 million in our derivative costs associated with all our refineries, |
| • | a $56.9 million contribution from the Billings Acquisition, |
| • | $37.0 million related to lower fuel burn costs at all our refineries, and |
| • | an increase of $32.8 million related to a favorable change in crude oil differentials at our refineries in our legacy portfolio, |
partially offset by:
| • | a net decrease of $112.9 million related to declining crack spreads at our refineries in our legacy portfolio, |
|---|---|
| • | an increase in purchased product costs of $98.0 million at all our refineries in our legacy portfolio, and |
| • | an increase in logistics and other product delivery costs of $35.6 million at our refineries in our legacy portfolio. |
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $69.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $15.7 million compared to $54.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to an $8.5 million contribution from the Billings Acquisition logistics assets acquired in June 2023 and an $10.4 million increase in operating income driven by an increase in throughput volumes throughout our legacy logistics portfolio, partially offset by an increase in variable expenses of $5.5 million.
Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $56.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $7.4 million compared to operating income of $49.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by $10.6 million related to higher fuel sales volumes and $3.4 million associated with increased merchandise sales, partly offset by $6.3 million of higher operating expenses driven by increases in employee costs and credit card fees in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.
Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021
Refining. Operating income for our refining segment was $401.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an improvement of $490.7 million compared to an operating loss of $88.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in profitability was primarily driven by widening product crack spreads across all our refineries, and a favorable change in the valuation of the embedded derivatives related to our intermediation agreements driven by changes in commodity prices, partially offset by unfavorable purchased product and crude differentials, unfavorable FIFO adjustments, higher inventory financing costs of $79.0 million, increased fuel burn costs related to higher crude oil costs as discussed below, increased RINs costs of $54.7 million, and unfavorable derivative costs. Other factors impacting our results period over period include a 2021 gain on sale of assets of $19.7 million primarily related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed in the first quarter of 2021 and a 15% increase in operating expenses in 2022, primarily driven by increased utilities, maintenance, and employee costs.
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $54.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $2.8 million compared to operating income of $51.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily due to higher third party revenues partially offset by net 2% and 4% decreased throughput across our Hawaii and Wyoming logistics assets, respectively.
Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $49.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $32.0 million compared to operating income of $81.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in profitability was primarily due to a gain on sale of assets of $45.0 million primarily related to the 2021 Hawaii sale-leaseback transactions we closed in the first quarter of 2021 with no such gain in 2022 and a 13% increase in operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily related to increased employee costs, higher credit card processing fees due to increased gasoline prices, rebranding fees in Hawaii, and higher rent expense related to the additional leases from our 2021 Hawaii sale-leaseback transactions, partially offset by a 31% increase in fuel margin.

Discussion of Consolidated Results
Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2022
Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2023, revenues were $8.2 billion, a $0.9 billion increase compared to $7.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Billings Acquisition contributed revenues of $1.5 billion in the first seven months under our ownership, partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 billion across our legacy refinery portfolio. The decrease in our legacy refining revenue was primarily driven by a $0.8 billion decrease related to lower crude oil prices, partially offset by a 6% increase in sales volumes. Average Brent crude oil prices declined 17% and average WTI crude oil prices declined 18% as compared to the prior period. Revenues at our retail segment increased $22.3 million primarily due to an 11% increase in sales volume and a 33% increase in merchandise sales, partially offset by an 8% decrease in fuel sales prices.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded an income tax expense of $0.7 million primarily driven by an increase in state taxable income. Please read Note 22—Income Taxes to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021
Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2022, revenues were $7.3 billion, a $2.6 billion increase compared to $4.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $2.5 billion in third-party revenues at our refining segment primarily as a result of increases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices. Brent crude oil prices rose to $99.04 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $70.95 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2021, and WTI crude oil prices averaged $94.33 per barrel during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $68.11 per barrel in the year ended December 31, 2021. Other factors contributing to the increase in revenues at our refining segment include improved realized product crack spreads across all our refineries. Revenues at our retail segment increased $113.8 million primarily due to a 36% increase in fuel prices slightly offset by a 3% decline in sales volume.
Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2022, cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) was $6.4 billion, a $2.1 billion increase compared to $4.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices as discussed above, unfavorable purchased products, higher feedstock costs, and higher inventory financing costs. These increases were partially offset by a favorable change in the valuation of the embedded derivatives related to our inventory financing agreements driven by changes in commodity prices.
Operating Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2022, operating expense (excluding depreciation) was approximately $333.2 million, an increase of $43.1 million compared to $290.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher utilities expenses, maintenance expenses at our Hawaii refinery and increased employee costs. Other factors contributing to the increase include higher outside services expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization. For the year ended December 31, 2022, D&A expense was approximately $99.8 million, an increase of $5.6 million compared to $94.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to amortization of our Washington refinery turnaround completed in 2022.
Impairment Expense. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded goodwill and asset impairment charges totaling $1.8 million primarily related to discontinued capital projects. Please read Note 9—Property, Plant, and Equipment and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on our 2021 asset impairment charges. There were no impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2022.
43
Gain on Sale of Assets, Net. For the year ended December 31, 2022, there was a $0.2 million gain on sale of assets, net, which resulted primarily from the sale of equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the gain on sale of assets, net was approximately $64.7 million and primarily related to the gain recognized as a result of the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed in the first quarter of 2021. Please read Note 17—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on the Sale-Leaseback Transactions.
General and Administrative Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2022, general and administrative expense (excluding depreciation) was approximately $62.4 million, an increase of $14.3 million compared to $48.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher employee costs and an increase in the use of outside services.
Acquisition and Integration Costs. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we incurred approximately $3.7 million of acquisition and integration costs primarily related to costs incurred for the pending Billings Acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred an immaterial amount of acquisition and integration costs. Please read Note 5—Acquisitions to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Interest Expense and Financing Costs, Net. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our interest expense and financing costs were approximately $68.3 million, an increase of $1.8 million compared to $66.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $7.4 million related to increased borrowings under our inventory financing agreements and increased rates on our Term Loan B Facility. These increases were partially offset by lower outstanding debt balances driven by the maturity of our outstanding 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes in June 2021, the repayment of the PHL, Mid Pac, and Retail Property Term Loans and interest rate swap related to the Retail Property Term Loan in the first quarter of 2021, and reduced interest on our 12.875% Senior Secured Notes driven by early repayment of these notes. Please read Note 12—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 14—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on our inventory financing and indebtedness, respectively.
Debt extinguishment and commitment costs. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our debt extinguishment and commitment costs were approximately $5.3 million and primarily represented extinguishment costs associated with the repurchase and cancellation of an additional $36.9 million of 12.875% Senior Secured Notes in the second quarter of 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our debt extinguishment and commitment costs were approximately primarily $8.1 million and primarily represented $6.6 million in extinguishment costs associated with the redemption of $36.8 million of 12.875% Senior Secured Notes in June 2021 and $1.4 million in extinguishment costs associated with the early repayment of the Retail Property Term Loan on February 23, 2021. Please read Note 14—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Gain on curtailment of pension obligation. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a gain on curtailment of pension obligation of $2.0 million related to the amendment to the Wyoming Refining defined benefit plan. Please read Note 20—Benefit Plans to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on the gain on curtailment of pension obligation. There was no gain on curtailment of pension obligation for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Income Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded an income tax expense of $0.7 million primarily driven by an increase in state taxable income. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded an income tax expense of $1.0 million primarily driven by foreign withholding taxes.
Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
On February 28, 2023, Par Petroleum, LLC (“Par Borrower”) entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) due 2030 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Term Loan Credit Agreement was co-issued by Par Petroleum Finance Corp. (together with the Par Borrower, the “Term Loan Borrowers”), which has no independent assets or operations. The Term Loan Credit Agreement is guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis only as to payment of principal and interest by Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (the “Parent”) and is guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of the subsidiaries of Par Borrower. The Term Loan Credit Agreement proceeds were used to refinance our existing Term Loan B and repurchase our outstanding 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, all three of which had similar guarantees that were replaced by those on the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial information reflects (i) the Parent’s separate accounts, (ii) Par Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries’ accounts (which are all guarantors of the Term Loan Credit Agreement), (iii) the accounts of subsidiaries of the Parent that are not guarantors of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and consolidating
44
adjustments and eliminations, and (iv) the Parent’s consolidated accounts for the dates and periods indicated. For purposes of the following condensed consolidating information, the Parent’s investment in its subsidiaries is accounted for under the equity method of accounting (dollar amounts in thousands).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA for the supplemental consolidating condensed financial information, which is segregated at the “Parent Guarantor,” “Par Borrower and Subsidiaries,” and “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and Eliminations” levels, is calculated in the same manner as for the Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. Adjusted EBITDA calculations. See “Results of Operations — Non-GAAP Performance Measures — Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA” above.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), on a historical basis for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources and Available Liquidity
Our liquidity and capital requirements are primarily a function of our debt maturities and debt service requirements and contractual obligations, capital expenditures, turnaround outlays, and working capital needs. Examples of working capital needs include purchases and sales of commodities and associated margin and collateral requirements, facility maintenance costs, and other costs such as payroll. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash on hand, amounts available under our credit agreements, and access to capital markets.
51
Our liquidity position as of December 31, 2023 was $644.5 million that consisted of $279.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, $355.0 million of availability under the ABL Credit Facility, and $10.4 million of availability under the J. Aron Discretionary Draw Facility. In addition, we had the ability to issue letters of credit of up to $107 million under our LC Facility.
As of December 31, 2023, we had access to the ABL Credit Facility, the LC Facility, the J. Aron Discretionary Draw Facility, and cash on hand of $279.1 million. In addition, we have the Supply and Offtake Agreement, which is used to finance the majority of the inventory at our Hawaii refinery. Generally, the primary uses of our capital resources have been in the operations of our refining and retail segments, for payments related to acquisitions, and to repay or refinance indebtedness.
We believe our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our current capital and turnaround expenditures, working capital, and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. We may seek to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund acquisitions and any other significant changes to our business or to refinance existing debt. We cannot offer any assurances that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or at an acceptable cost.
Significant Developments
In the first quarter of 2021, we closed on the sale and leaseback of twenty-two (22) of our retail properties in Hawaii for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $112.8 million net of transaction fees (the “Sale-Leaseback Transactions”). We used approximately $53.1 million of the net cash proceeds to repay the certain financing arrangements which were related to certain of the retail properties and the remainder for general corporate purposes. Please read Note 17—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion on the Sale-Leaseback Transactions.
On March 19, 2021, we sold 5.75 million shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $16.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $87.2 million (the “Equity Offering”), after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds from the Equity Offering to repay the remaining $48.7 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes at maturity in June 2021 and $36.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, and the remainder for other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, and funding working capital. Please read Note 19—Stockholders’ Equity to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion on the Equity Offering.
On April 26, 2023, we terminated the Prior ABL Credit Facility and entered into a new ABL Credit Facility. On June 1, 2023 we closed the Billings Acquisition; please read Note 5—Acquisitions to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information. On July 26, 2023, we entered into the July 2023 S&O Amendment in connection with a new LC Facility. On October 4, 2023, we entered into the Second Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility and terminated the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement.
During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, we had significant activity related to our inventory financing and debt agreements. Please read Note 12—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 14—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion of significant activity related to our inventory financing and debt agreements, respectively.
Other Sources of Liquidity
We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our common stock through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. On November 10, 2021, the Board authorized and approved a share repurchase program for up to $50 million of the currently outstanding shares of our common stock, with no specified end date. On August 2, 2023, the Board approved expanding the Company’s share repurchase authorization from $50 million to $250 million. Please read Note 19—Stockholders’ Equity to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion on the share repurchase program. The Term Loan Credit Agreement may also require annual prepayments of principal with a variable percentage of our excess cash flow, 50% or 25% depending on our consolidated year end secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement).

Cash Requirements
We have various cash requirements stemming from investment strategies, contractual obligations, and financial commitments in the normal course of our operations and financing activities. Contractual obligations include future cash payments required under existing contractual arrangements, such as debt and lease agreements. These cash requirements and obligations may result from both general financing activities and from commercial arrangements that are directly related to our operating activities. We also continue to seek strategic investments in business opportunities, however the amount and timing of those investments are not predictable. Our material cash requirements as of December 31, 2023 include:
Debt and Interest Payments. Current and long-term debt includes the scheduled principal payments related to our outstanding debt obligations and ABL Credit Facility. Our estimated interest payments due for 2024 are $51.2 million and our total estimated undiscounted future interest payments will be $312.4 million on the debt obligations held as of December 31, 2023 and using interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2023. Please read Note 14—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Debt Refinancing. On February 28, 2023, we entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The proceeds were used to repurchase and cancel the then-outstanding 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes and terminate and repay all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan B Facility. As a result of this refinancing, our debt maturity was extended from 2026 to 2030 and, using interest rates that were in effect at December 31, 2023, our estimated undiscounted future interest payments increased to $310 million. On April 26, 2023, we terminated the prior ABL Credit Facility and entered into a new ABL Credit Facility. On October 4, 2023, we terminated the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement in connection with the Second Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility that increased the borrowing base. Please read Note 14—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.

Our deferred turnaround costs and capital expenditures, including land and building purchases but excluding acquisitions, for the year ended December 31, 2023, totaled approximately $88.1 million and were primarily related to the 2023 turnaround and related scheduled maintenance work at our Montana refinery, capital projects at our Hawaii and Tacoma refineries, land purchases and new sites at our Retail and Hawaii Logistics businesses, and sustaining maintenance at each of our refineries. Our capital expenditures and deferred turnaround costs budget for 2024 is approximately $220 to $250 million and primarily relates to scheduled maintenance, capital projects, and turnaround projects related to regulatory compliance, information technology, and growth across each of our businesses.
Operating Lease Liabilities. Operating lease liabilities primarily include obligations associated with the lease of land, office space, retail facilities, and other facilities used in the storage and transportation of crude oil and refined products. Please read Note 17—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
55
Finance Lease Liabilities. Finance lease liabilities primarily include obligations associated with the lease of retail facilities and vehicles. Please read Note 17—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Purchase Commitments. Purchase commitments primarily consist of contracts executed as of December 31, 2023 for the purchase of crude oil for use at our refineries that are scheduled for delivery in 2024. As of December 31, 2023, we have material purchase commitments of $1.3 billion, with required cash outlays primarily expected in the next twelve months.
Supply and Offtake Agreement. On June 1, 2021, we and J. Aron entered into the second amended and restated supply and offtake agreement which expires on May 31, 2024. We and J. Aron entered into amendments to the Supply and Offtake Agreement on April 25, 2022, and May 17, 2022, which, among other things, increased the capacity under the Discretionary Draw Facility. On July 26, 2023, we entered into the July 2023 S&O Amendment to the Supply and Offtake Agreement which, among other things, allowed PHR to enter into a crude oil procurement contract supported by a letter of credit under the LC Facility and have its purchases funded by J. Aron, subject to certain conditions. Please read Note 12—Inventory Financing Agreements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
LC Facility. On July 26, 2023, we entered into an LC Facility intended to finance and provide credit support for certain of PHR’s purchases of crude oil. In addition, revolving credit loans may be used to pay suppliers. The amount available is $120.0 million with the right to request an increase up to $350.0 million in the aggregate, subject to certain conditions. Please read Note 12—Inventory Financing Agreements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Environmental Matters. Our operations are subject to extensive and periodically-changing federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations including but not limited to air emissions, wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management activities. Additionally, we have asset retirement obligations in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government or regulatory action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. Please read Note 10—Asset Retirement Obligations and Note 18—Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations were based on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Our significant accounting policies are described in our audited consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K. We have identified certain estimates as being of particular importance to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and which require the application of significant judgment by management. We analyze our estimates on a periodic basis, including those related to fair value, impairments, natural gas and crude oil reserves, bad debts, natural gas and oil properties, income taxes, derivatives, contingencies, and litigation and base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Inventory and Obligations Under Inventory Financing Agreements
Commodity inventories, excluding commodity inventories at the Washington refinery, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the FIFO accounting method. Commodity inventories at the Washington refinery are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the LIFO inventory accounting method. We value merchandise along with spare parts, materials, and supplies at weighted average cost. Estimating the net realizable value of our inventory requires management to make assumptions about the timing of sales and the expected proceeds that will be realized for these sales. Please read Note 7—Inventories to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
A portion of the crude oil utilized at the Hawaii refinery is financed by J. Aron under procurement contracts. The crude oil remains in the legal title of J. Aron and is stored in our storage tanks governed by a storage agreement. Legal title to the crude oil passes to us at the tank outlet. After processing, J. Aron takes title to the refined products stored in our storage tanks until they are sold to our retail locations or to third parties. We record the inventory owned by J. Aron on our behalf as inventory with a corresponding accrued liability on our balance sheet because we maintain the risk of loss until the refined products are sold to third parties and we have an obligation to repurchase it. The valuation of our repurchase obligation requires that we make estimates of the prices and differentials assuming settlement occurs at the end of the reporting period.
56
On July 26, 2023, we entered into an LC Facility, intended to finance and provide credit support for certain of PHR’s purchases of crude oil. In addition, revolving credit loans may be used to pay suppliers. The amount available is $120.0 million with the right to request an increase up to $350.0 million in the aggregate, subject to certain conditions.
Please read Note 12—Inventory Financing Agreements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding our Hawaii inventory financing agreement and LC Facility.
Fair Value Measurements
We measure certain assets and liabilities at their fair market value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments and environmental credit obligations. We also measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when specific triggering events occur, such as business combinations and events which indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In estimating fair value, we use discounted cash flow projections, recent comparable market transactions, if available, or quoted prices. We consider assumptions that third parties would make in estimating fair value, including the highest and best use of the asset. The assumptions used by another party could differ significantly from our assumptions.
We classify fair value balances based on the classification of the inputs used to calculate the fair value of a transaction. The inputs used to measure fair value have been placed in a hierarchy based on priority. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted, readily observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Please read Note 16—Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Business Combinations
We recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations separately from goodwill at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. We obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists in estimating fair values of tangible and intangible assets based on available historical information and on expectations and assumptions about the future, considering the perspectives of marketplace participants. These valuation methods require management to make estimates and assumptions regarding characteristics of the acquired property and future revenues and expenses. Changes in these estimates and assumptions would result in different amounts allocated to the related assets and liabilities. The measurement period may be up to one year from the acquisition date; we may record adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation during this time, concluding at the end of the one year period or final determination of the values of consideration transferred and assets and liabilities assumed, whichever comes first. Subsequent adjustments, if any, are recorded to the consolidated statement of operations. Please read Note 5—Acquisitions and Note 16—Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets
We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill of a reporting unit may not be fully recoverable. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a quantitative test is required. Under the quantitative test, we compare the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment loss is recorded. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we estimate the present value of expected future cash flows using a market participant discount rate. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value using observable multiples for comparable companies within our industry. These valuation methods require us to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows, capital projects, commodity prices, long-term growth rates, and discount rates. Please read Note 11—Goodwill and Intangible Assets to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
We review property, plant, and equipment, operating leases, and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We use a cash flows model to estimate value because there is usually a lack of quoted market prices available for long-lived assets. Future cash flow estimates used for impairment reviews are based on assessments requiring judgment, including future production volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, margins, discount rates, expected capital expenditures, and other factors based on all available information
57
available as of the date of the review. Impairment is required when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying value. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value. The fair value of long-lived assets is determined using the income approach. Please read Note 9—Property, Plant, and Equipment and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Environmental Matters and Asset Retirement Obligations
We record liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Cost estimates are based on the expected timing and extent of remedial actions required by governing agencies, experience gained from similar sites for which environmental assessments or remediation have been completed, and the amount of our anticipated liability considering the proportional liability and financial abilities of other responsible parties. Usually, the timing of these accruals coincides with the completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action. Please read Note 18—Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information about our environmental liabilities and assessments.
We record asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) at fair value in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. Estimating the cost and timing of future remedial efforts is difficult and related technologies, costs, regulatory and other compliance considerations, timing, discount rates, and other inputs considered in the valuations are subject to change. Please read Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Asset Retirement Obligations,” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and NOL and tax credit carry forwards. The realizability of deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly based on a “more likely than not” standard and, to the extent this threshold is not met, a valuation allowance is recorded. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. These liabilities are recorded based on our assessment of existing tax laws and regulations. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences become deductible and may vary from our estimates for a number of reasons, including different interpretations of tax laws and regulations. New tax laws and regulations, and changes to existing tax laws and regulations, are proposed and promulgated continuously. The implementation of future tax laws and regulatory initiatives, as well as future interpretations on historical tax laws and regulations, could result in increased tax liabilities that cannot be predicted at this time. Please read Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Income Taxes,” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, we analyzed projections for our future taxable income and the absence of objective negative evidence, such as a cumulative loss in recent years. As a result of this analysis, we determined that we have sufficient positive evidence to release a majority of the valuation allowance against our federal net deferred tax assets and recognized a non-cash deferred tax benefit of $277.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. We retain a partial valuation allowance on certain state deferred tax assets primarily as a result of apportionment factors from minimal activity in certain states impacting assessed likelihood of future realizability. We will continue to reassess whether the balance of the valuation allowance is appropriate on a quarterly basis and, given the totality of the facts and circumstances, both positive and negative, will adjust the remaining valuation allowance in future periods if the evidence supports doing so.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a growth-oriented company based in Houston, Texas, that owns and operates market-leading energy and infrastructure businesses. For more information, please read “Part I –Item 1. — Business—Overview” of this Form 10-K.
Known Trends or Uncertainties
While the market indices presented below under “Item 7. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations” are representative of the results of our refineries, each refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis will differ from the benchmark due to a variety of factors that affect the performance of the specific refinery. These factors include, but are not limited to, the actual type and timing of crude oil throughput; product yields; transportation and storage costs; fuel burn; product premiums or discounts; inventory fluctuations; feedstock and product purchases; commodity price risk-management activities; crude oil purchase financing activities; and other factors not reflected in the benchmark refining margin. We operate in logistically complex, niche markets and, as such, each of our refineries has unique cost advantages and disadvantages as compared to their respective relevant market indices.
Recent Events Affecting Comparability of Periods
Inflation
In 2022, higher national gasoline prices and U.S. inflation affected most Americans. Following gasoline price highs of approximately $5 per gallon in summer 2022, prices at the pump fell from June through December, reaching a national average of $3.11 per gallon. Even with these declines, the overall energy index was up 7.3% year over year as of December 2022. Rising energy prices are, among other factors, indicators of inflation, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has taken significant steps to curb inflation, increasing its benchmark interest rate six times throughout 2022, from near zero percent at the beginning of 2022 to a range of 4.25% to 4.5% in December 2022. These actions by the Fed are intended to reverse rising U.S. inflation rates, which have increased 6.5% year over year as of the December inflation report released in January 2023, by slowing economic and wage growth. While inflation has increased relative to prior years, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases, or price increases could lead to a decline in demand for our products, which could have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Please read Item 1A. — Risk Factors for more information on the general macroeconomic environment and its potential impacts on our business.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The ongoing spread of COVID-19, in conjunction with related government and other preventative measures taken to mitigate the spread of the virus, caused severe disruptions in the worldwide economy in 2020 and 2021, including the global demand for crude oil and refined products, the movement of people and goods in the United States, and the global supply chain for industrial and commercial production, all of which have in turn disrupted our businesses and operations. As of December 2022, the COVID-19 outlook in regions in which we operate has improved significantly and restrictions have been relaxed. This, combined with widespread vaccine availability, has lessened the perceived severity of the pandemic, leading to higher risk tolerance for individuals and increased travel and public contact in the regions in which we operate. However, a resurgence of the virus or another pandemic event could cause a return to severe restrictions, leading to a deterioration of macroeconomic conditions and our industry. For more information, please read “Item 1. — Business — Markets” of this Form 10-K.
The financial results contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect the rebounding demand driven by decreasing COVID-19 pandemic-related demand suppression experienced in the regions in which we operate. However, even with the eased restrictions and increased risk tolerance of individuals, economic effects of the pandemic are ongoing and the impacts of the virus on people and businesses continue to evolve as of the date of this report. The full magnitude of the impact of these and other events on our financial condition, future results of operations, and future cash flows and liquidity is uncertain and has been and may continue to be material. Please read Item 1A. — Risk Factors for more information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impacts on our business.
Russia-Ukraine conflict
In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the international community imposed economic sanctions and other limitations on Russian exports, which further decreased the global supply and drove up the price of crude
35
oil. On March 3, 2022, we suspended purchases of Russian crude oil for our Hawaii refinery in response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. We have turned to other grades of crude oil to meet fuel production requirements. In the third quarter, the global market for energy commodities experienced moderately declining prices driven by increased supply expectations after twelve months of rising prices. In response, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Companies (“OPEC”) announced on October 5, 2022, that it would cut production by two million barrels a day (representing approximately 2% of global oil production) with the intention of raising global oil prices. As of December 2022, OPEC and Russia reaffirmed this production cut, and the European Union has enacted an embargo on Russian oil, further tightening supply. The European Union has also announced that it will implement a limited ban on the purchase of Russian refined and intermediate petroleum products effective February 2023. The overall effect of the conflict and associated actions taken to limit the purchase of Russian petroleum products has been to raise the operating costs of many European and other refineries. As a result, global product cracks have risen to high levels, generally benefiting refineries that are not purchasing Russian feedstocks or using natural gas as a heat source.
As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Russia-Ukraine conflict is ongoing and continues to impact the global economy. We will continue to monitor the effects the conflict has on the global financial markets and our operations. Please read Item 1A. — Risk Factors for more information on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and its potential impacts on our business.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021
Net Income (Loss). Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022 improved from a net loss of $81.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to net income of $364.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The improvement was primarily driven by widened product crack spreads across all of our refineries and a favorable change in the valuation of the embedded derivatives related to our inventory financing agreements driven by changes in commodity prices. These improvements were partially offset by unfavorable purchased product and crude oil differentials, unfavorable first in, first-out (“FIFO”) adjustments, increased intermediation fees of $79.0 million, and a $54.7 million increase in RINs expenses. Other factors impacting our results period over period include a 2021 gain on sale of assets of $63.9 million related to the Hawaii sale-leaseback transactions with no such gain in 2022 and a 14% increase in operating expenses compared to 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $643.4 million compared to $125.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The improvement was primarily related to favorable realized refined product crack spreads at all our refineries, partially offset by unfavorable purchased product and crude oil differentials and unfavorable FIFO adjustments, unfavorable inventory financing and environmental compliance costs, and higher operating expenses compared to 2021.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, Adjusted Net Income was $474.7 million compared to an Adjusted Net Loss of $36.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The change was primarily related to the same factors described above for the increase in Adjusted EBITDA.
Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020
Net Loss. Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021 improved from a net loss of $409.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to net loss of $81.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The improvement was primarily driven by favorable refined product sales pricing and feedstock costs at our Hawaii refinery, partially offset by higher inventory financing costs at our Washington refinery related to rising inventory financing and product costs. Other factors impacting our results period over period include a 2021 gain on sale of assets of $63.9 million primarily related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed in the first quarter of 2021, asset impairment charges of $1.8 million in 2021 as compared to our 2020 goodwill impairment of $67.9 million and asset impairment charges of $17.9 million, and an other-than-temporary impairment of $45.3 million related to our equity investment in Laramie Energy in 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA was $125.6 million compared to a loss of $53.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The improvement was primarily related to favorable realized refined product crack spreads at all our refineries, favorable feedstock, purchased product and derivative costs at our Hawaii refinery, and higher refined product sales volumes at our Wyoming refinery, partially offset by unfavorable inventory financing and environmental compliance costs and higher operating expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Adjusted Net Loss was $36.1 million compared to $216.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change was primarily related to the same factors described above for the increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

(1)We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel by dividing Adjusted Gross Margin by total refining throughput. Adjusted Gross Margin for our Washington refinery is determined under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory costing method. Adjusted Gross Margin for our other refineries is determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory costing method. The definition of Adjusted Gross Margin was modified beginning with the financial results reported for periods in fiscal year 2022. We have recast Adjusted Gross Margin for prior periods when reported to conform to the modified presentation. Please see discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin below.
(2)Management uses production costs per barrel to evaluate performance and compare efficiency to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate production costs per barrel; different companies within the industry calculate it in different ways. We calculate production costs per barrel by dividing all direct production costs, which include the costs to run the refineries including personnel costs, repair and maintenance costs, insurance, utilities, and other miscellaneous costs, by total refining throughput. Our production costs are included in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) on our consolidated statement of operations, which also includes costs related to our bulk marketing operations.
(3)We believe the 3-1-2 Singapore Crack Spread (or three barrels of Brent crude oil converted into one barrel of gasoline and two barrels of distillates (diesel and jet fuel)) is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Hawaii.
(4)We believe the Pacific Northwest 5-2-2-1 Index is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Tacoma, Washington. The Pacific Northwest 5-2-2-1 Index is computed by taking two parts gasoline (sub-octane), two parts middle distillates (ultra-low sulfur diesel (“ULSD”) and jet fuel), and one part fuel oil as created from five barrels of Alaskan North Slope (“ANS”) crude oil.
40
(5)The profitability of our Wyoming refinery is heavily influenced by crack spreads in nearby markets. We believe the Wyoming 3-2-1 Index is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Wyoming. The Wyoming 3-2-1 Index is computed by taking two parts gasoline and one part distillates (ULSD) as created from three barrels of West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (“WTI”). Pricing is based 50% on applicable product pricing in Rapid City, South Dakota, and 50% on applicable product pricing in Denver, Colorado.
Below is a summary of key operating statistics for the retail segment for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020:

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are considered non-GAAP financial measures. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies since each company may define these terms differently.
We believe Adjusted Gross Margin (as defined below) provides useful information to investors because it eliminates the gross impact of volatile commodity prices and adjusts for certain non-cash items and timing differences created by our inventory financing agreements and lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to demonstrate the earnings potential of the business before other fixed and variable costs, which are reported separately in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) and Depreciation and amortization. Management uses Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel to evaluate operating performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry and to industry benchmarks. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) are useful supplemental financial measures that allow investors to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis, the ability of our assets to generate cash to pay interest on our indebtedness, and our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure.
Beginning with financial results reported for periods in fiscal year 2022, the inventory valuation adjustment was modified to include the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory gains (losses) associated with our titled manufactured inventory in Hawaii. This modification was made to better align Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA with the cash flow of the Hawaii refining business. Prior to 2022, the impacts of FIFO inventory gains (losses) associated with Hawaii titled manufactured inventory were eliminated through the inventory valuation adjustment. Beginning with financial results reported for the second quarter of 2022, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net RINs liability. This modification was made to better reflect our operating performance and to improve comparability between periods. We have recast Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods when reported to conform to the modified presentation.
Adjusted Gross Margin.
Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as operating income (loss) excluding:
•operating expense (excluding depreciation);
•depreciation and amortization (“D&A”);
•impairment expense;
•loss (gain) on sale of assets, net;
•inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase or terminal obligations, contango (gains) and backwardation losses associated with our Washington inventory and intermediation obligation, and purchase price allocation adjustments);
•LIFO layer liquidation impacts associated with our Washington inventory;
•Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) mark-to-market adjustments (which represents the income statement effect of reflecting our RINs liability on a net basis; this adjustment also includes the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net RINs liability); and
41
•unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives.

Discussion of Operating Income (Loss) by Segment
Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021
Refining. Operating income for our refining segment was $401.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an improvement of $490.7 million compared to an operating loss of $88.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in profitability was primarily driven by widening product crack spreads across all our refineries, and a favorable change in the valuation of the embedded derivatives related to our intermediation agreements driven by changes in commodity prices, partially offset by unfavorable purchased product and crude differentials, unfavorable FIFO adjustments, higher inventory financing costs of $79.0 million, increased fuel burn costs related to higher crude oil costs as discussed below, increased RINs costs of $54.7 million, and unfavorable derivative costs. Other factors impacting our results period over period include a 2021 gain on sale of assets of $19.7 million primarily related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed in the first quarter of 2021 and a 15% increase in operating expenses in 2022, primarily driven by increased utilities, maintenance, and employee costs.
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $54.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $2.8 million compared to operating income of $51.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily due to higher third party revenues partially offset by net 2% and 4% decreased throughput across our Hawaii and Wyoming logistics assets, respectively.
Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $49.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $32.0 million compared to operating income of $81.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in profitability was primarily due to a gain on sale of assets of $45.0 million primarily related to the 2021 Hawaii sale-leaseback transactions we closed in the first quarter of 2021 with no such gain in 2022 and a 13% increase in operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily related to increased employee costs, higher credit card processing fees due to increased gasoline prices, rebranding fees in Hawaii, and higher rent expense related to the additional leases from our 2021 Hawaii sale-leaseback transactions, partially offset by a 31% increase in fuel margin.
Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020
Refining. Operating loss for our refining segment was $88.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an improvement of $243.0 million compared to operating loss of $331.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in profitability was primarily driven by favorable realized product crack spreads across all our refineries, favorable purchased product and feedstock costs at our Hawaii refinery, favorable derivative costs, and a 28% increase in refining sales volume at our Wyoming refinery, partially offset by higher inventory financing costs related to the rising cost of crude oil. Other factors impacting our results period over period include asset impairment charges of $1.8 million in 2021 from discontinued capital projects as compared to our 2020 goodwill impairment of $38.1 million and asset impairment charges of $17.9 million, and a 2021 gain on sale of assets of $19.7 million primarily related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed in the first quarter of 2021.
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $51.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $16.2 million compared to operating income of $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is primarily due to net 12% and 32% higher throughput across our Hawaii and Wyoming logistics assets, respectively, related to increased demand as a result of reduced COVID-19-related travel restrictions and lower lease costs on barges in Hawaii.
Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $81.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $57.0 million compared to operating income of $24.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in profitability was primarily due to a gain on sale of assets of $45.0 million primarily related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed in the first quarter of 2021, a 2020 goodwill impairment of $29.8 million with no corresponding impairment in 2021,
44
and an increase in sales volumes of 6%, partially offset by a decrease in fuel margins of 17% related to rising fuel costs and market-driven margin compression and additional rent expense related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions that we closed in the first quarter of 2021.
Discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin by Segment
Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021
Refining. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our refining Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately $812.8 million, an increase of $548.4 million compared to $264.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in profitability was primarily driven by favorable realized product crack spreads across all our refineries partially offset by unfavorable purchased product costs, unfavorable FIFO adjustments, increased inventory financing costs of $79.0 million in Hawaii, unfavorable derivative costs, and increased costs related to fuel burn related to higher crude oil costs as discussed below. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Hawaii refinery improved from $4.56 per barrel in 2021 to $13.99 per barrel in 2022 primarily due to favorable product crack spreads, and a 1.7% increase in refined product sales volumes, partially offset by unfavorable purchased product and crude oil costs, unfavorable FIFO adjustments, a $78.8 million increase in intermediation fees driven primarily by $59.4 million higher market structure fees under the Supply and Offtake Agreement, increased fuel burn costs related to higher crude oil costs as discussed below, and unfavorable derivatives. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Washington refinery increased by $15.02 per barrel primarily due to favorable product crack spreads, partially offset by unfavorable feedstock costs and increased costs related to fuel burn. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Wyoming refinery increased by $12.03 per barrel primarily due to favorable product crack spreads, partially offset by unfavorable feedstock costs and increased RINs costs.
Logistics. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately $89.4 million, an increase of $1.5 million compared to $87.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher third party revenues partially offset by net 2% and 4% decreased throughput across our Hawaii and Wyoming logistics assets, respectively.
Retail. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately $141.5 million, an increase of $22.6 million compared to $118.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a 31% increase in fuel margins partially offset by a 3% decline in sales volumes.
Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020
Refining. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our refining Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately $264.4 million, an increase of $199.7 million compared to a loss of $64.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in profitability was primarily driven by favorable realized product crack spreads across all our refineries and favorable feedstock and purchased product costs in Hawaii, partially offset by unfavorable feedstock and inventory financing costs in Washington. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Hawaii refinery improved from $(1.31) per barrel in 2020 to $4.56 per barrel in 2021 primarily due to favorable product crack spreads and feedstock, purchased product, and derivative costs. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Wyoming refinery increased by $7.50 per barrel primarily due to favorable product crack spreads and a 28% increase in sales volumes. Adjusted Gross Margin for the Washington refinery decreased by $1.69 per barrel primarily due to higher inventory financing and feedstock costs, partially offset by favorable realized product crack spreads and lower logistics costs.
Logistics. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately $87.9 million, an increase of $17.4 million compared to $70.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by a net 12% and 32% increase in throughput across our Hawaii and Wyoming logistics assets, respectively, due to increased sales volumes in both regions driven by reduced COVID-19-related travel restrictions, and lower lease costs on barges in Hawaii.
Retail. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately $118.9 million, a decrease of $9.9 million compared to $128.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a 17% decrease in fuel margins due to rising fuel costs and market-driven margin compression, partially offset by a 6% increase in sales volumes.

Discussion of Consolidated Results
Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021
Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2022, revenues were $7.3 billion, a $2.6 billion increase compared to $4.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $2.5 billion in third-party revenues at our refining segment primarily as a result of increases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices. Brent crude oil prices rose to $99.04 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $70.95 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2021, and WTI crude oil prices averaged $94.33 per barrel during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $68.11 per barrel in the year ended December 31, 2021. Other factors contributing to the increase in revenues at our refining segment include improved realized product crack spreads across all our refineries. Revenues at our retail segment increased $113.8 million primarily due to a 36% increase in fuel prices slightly offset by a 3% decline in sales volume.
Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2022, cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) was $6.4 billion, a $2.1 billion increase compared to $4.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices as discussed above, unfavorable purchased products, higher feedstock costs, and higher inventory financing costs. These increases were partially offset by a favorable change in the valuation of the embedded derivatives related to our inventory financing agreements driven by changes in commodity prices.
Operating Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2022, operating expense (excluding depreciation) was approximately $342.2 million, an increase of $42.5 million compared to $299.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher utilities expenses, maintenance expenses at our Hawaii refinery and increased employee costs. Other factors contributing to the increase include higher outside services expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization. For the year ended December 31, 2022, D&A expense was approximately $99.8 million, an increase of $5.6 million compared to $94.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to amortization of our Washington Refinery turnaround completed in 2022.
Impairment Expense. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded goodwill and asset impairment charges totaling $1.8 million primarily related to discontinued capital projects. Please read Note 8—Property, Plant, and Equipment and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on our 2021 asset impairment charges. There were no impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Gain on Sale of Assets, Net. For the year ended December 31, 2022, there was a $0.2 million gain on sale of assets, net, which resulted primarily from the sale of equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the gain on sale of assets, net was approximately $64.7 million and primarily related to the gain recognized as a result of the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed in the first quarter of 2021. Please read Note 16—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on the Sale-Leaseback Transactions.
General and Administrative Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2022, general and administrative expense (excluding depreciation) was approximately $62.4 million, an increase of $14.3 million compared to $48.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher employee costs and an increase in the use of outside services.
Acquisition and Integration Costs. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we incurred approximately $3.7 million of expenses primarily related to costs incurred for the pending Billings Acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred an immaterial amount of acquisition and integration costs. Please read Note 4—Acquisitions to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Interest Expense and Financing Costs, Net. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our interest expense and financing costs were approximately $68.3 million, an increase of $1.8 million compared to $66.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $7.4 million related to increased borrowings under our inventory financing agreements and increased rates on our Term Loan B Facility. These increases were partially offset by lower outstanding debt balances driven by the maturity of our outstanding 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes in June 2021, the repayment of the PHL, Mid Pac, and Retail Property Term Loans and interest rate swap related to the Retail Property Term Loan in the first quarter of 2021, and reduced interest on our 12.875% Senior Secured Notes driven by early repayment of these notes. Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 13—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on our inventory financing and indebtedness, respectively.

Please read Note 19—Benefit Plans to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on the gain on curtailment of pension obligation. There was no gain on curtailment of pension obligation for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Income Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded an income tax expense of $0.7 million primarily driven by an increase in state taxable income. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded an income tax expense of $1.0 million primarily driven by foreign withholding taxes.
Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020
Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2021, revenues were $4.7 billion, a $1.6 billion increase compared to $3.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $1.5 billion in third-party revenues at our refining segment primarily as a result of increases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices. Brent crude oil prices recovered from COVID-19-related lows, averaging $70.95 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $43.21 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2020, and WTI crude oil prices averaged $68.11 per barrel during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $39.65 in the year ended December 31, 2020. Other factors contributing to the increase in revenues at our refining segment include a 28% increase in refining sales volume at our Wyoming refinery and improved realized product crack spreads across all our refineries. Revenues in our retail segment increased $92.7 million primarily due to a 23% increase in fuel prices and a 6% increase in sales volume.
Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2021, cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) was $4.3 billion, a $1.4 billion increase compared to $2.9 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices and refining sales volumes at our Wyoming refinery as discussed above, higher inventory financing costs, and 6% higher sales volumes at our Retail segment, partially offset by favorable purchased product and feedstock costs at our Hawaii refinery and favorable derivative costs.
Operating Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2021, operating expense (excluding depreciation) was approximately $299.7 million, an increase of $22.3 million compared to $277.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher utilities and maintenance expenses at our Hawaii refinery and increased rent expenses driven by new leases from the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we completed in the first quarter of 2021.
Depreciation and Amortization. For the year ended December 31, 2021, D&A expense was approximately $94.2 million, an increase of $4.2 million compared to $90.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to amortization of our Hawaii refinery turnaround completed in 2020.
Impairment Expense. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded asset impairment charges of $1.8 million primarily related to discontinued capital projects. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded goodwill and asset impairment charges totaling $85.8 million related to our Refining and Retail segments. Please read Note 10—Goodwill and Intangible Assets and Note 8—Property, Plant, and Equipment and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on our 2020 goodwill impairment and our 2021 and 2020 asset impairment charges, respectively.
Gain on Sale of Assets, Net. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the gain on sale of assets, net was approximately $64.7 million and primarily related to the gain recognized as a result of the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed on February 23 and March 12, 2021. Please read Note 16—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on the Sale-Leaseback Transactions. No such transaction occurred during the year ended December 31, 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, general and administrative expense (excluding depreciation) was approximately $48.1 million, an increase of $6.8 million compared to $41.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher employee costs, an increase in the use of outside services, and higher information technology infrastructure costs.
Interest Expense and Financing Costs, Net. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our interest expense and financing costs were approximately $66.5 million, a decrease of $3.7 million compared to $70.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower outstanding debt balances driven by the maturity of our outstanding 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes in June 2021, the repayment of the PHL, Mid Pac, and Retail Property Term Loans and interest rate swap related to the Retail Property Term Loan in the first quarter of 2021, and quarterly principal payments on our Term Loan B Facility. These decreases were partially offset by higher interest expense related to the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes issued in June 2020 and an increase of $1.1 million related to increased borrowings under our inventory financing agreements. Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 13—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on our inventory financing and indebtedness, respectively.
Change in Value of Common Stock Warrants. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the change in value of common stock warrants resulted in a gain of $4.3 million. During January and March 2020, one of our stockholders and its affiliates exercised the remaining 354,350 common stock warrants in exchange for 350,542 shares of common stock. We estimated the fair value of our outstanding common stock warrants and the income recognized upon exercise using the difference between the strike price of the warrant and the market price of our common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our stock price decreased from $23.24 per share on December 31, 2019 to $7.10 per share on March 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no common stock warrants outstanding.
Debt extinguishment and commitment costs. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our debt extinguishment and commitment costs were approximately $8.1 million and primarily represent $6.6 million in extinguishment costs associated with the early repayment of a portion of the outstanding 12.875% Senior Secured Notes on June 14, 2021 and $1.4 million in extinguishment costs associated with the early repayment of the Retail Property Term Loan on February 23, 2021. Please read Note 13—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion. There were no debt extinguishment and commitment costs for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Gain on curtailment of pension obligation. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a gain on curtailment of pension obligation of $2.0 million related to the amendment to the Wyoming Refining defined benefit plan. Please read Note 19—Benefit Plans to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on the gain on curtailment of pension obligation. There was no gain on curtailment of pension obligation for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Equity Earnings (Losses) from Laramie Energy, LLC. For the year ended December 31, 2020, equity losses from Laramie Energy were approximately $46.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $45.3 million related to our investment in Laramie Energy. As of June 30, 2020, we discontinued the application of the equity method of accounting for our investment in Laramie Energy because the book value of such investment has been reduced to zero. As such, there were no earnings or losses from Laramie Energy recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021. Please read Note 3—Investment in Laramie Energy, LLC to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Income Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded an income tax expense of $1.0 million primarily driven by foreign withholding taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an income tax benefit of $20.7 million primarily driven by an increase in our net operating loss carryforwards that do not expire and the change in our indefinitely-lived goodwill due to the impairments.

(1) The income tax benefit (expense) of the Parent Guarantor and Issuer and Subsidiaries is determined using the separate return method. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and Eliminations column includes tax benefits recognized at the Par consolidated level that are primarily associated with changes to the consolidated valuation allowance and other deferred tax balances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital requirements are primarily a function of our debt maturities and debt service requirements and contractual obligations, capital expenditures, turnaround outlays, and working capital needs. Examples of working capital needs include purchases and sales of commodities and associated margin and collateral requirements, facility maintenance costs, and other costs such as payroll. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash on hand, amounts available under our credit agreements, and access to capital markets.
Our liquidity position as of December 31, 2022 was $577.2 million and consisted of $574.6 million at Par Petroleum, LLC and subsidiaries, $2.5 million at Par Pacific Holdings, and $0.1 million at all our other subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2022, we had access to the J. Aron Discretionary Draw Facility, the ABL Credit Facility, the MLC receivable advances, and cash on hand of $490.9 million. In addition, we have the Supply and Offtake Agreement with J. Aron and the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement, which are used to finance the majority of the inventory at our Hawaii and Washington refineries, respectively. Generally, the primary uses of our capital resources have been in the operations of our refining and retail segments, payments related to acquisitions, and to repay or refinance indebtedness.
57
We believe our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our current capital and turnaround expenditures, working capital, and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. We may seek to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund acquisitions and any other significant changes to our business or to refinance existing debt. We cannot offer any assurances that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or at an acceptable cost.
In the first quarter of 2021, we closed on the sale and leaseback of twenty-two (22) of our retail properties in Hawaii for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $112.8 million net of transaction fees (the “Sale-Leaseback Transactions”). We used approximately $53.1 million of the net cash proceeds to repay the certain financing arrangements which were related to certain of the retail properties and the remainder for general corporate purposes. Please read Note 16—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion on the Sale-Leaseback Transactions.
On March 19, 2021, we sold 5.75 million shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $16.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $87.2 million (the “Equity Offering”), after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds from the Equity Offering to repay the remaining $48.7 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes at maturity in June 2021 and $36.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, and the remainder for other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, and funding working capital. Please read Note 18—Stockholders’ Equity to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion on the Equity Offering.
During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, we had significant activity related to our inventory financing and debt agreements. Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 13—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion of significant activity related to our inventory financing and debt agreements, respectively.
We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our 7.75% Senior Secured Notes, our 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, or our common stock through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. On November 10, 2021, the Board authorized and approved a share repurchase program for up to $50 million of the currently outstanding shares of our common stock, with no specified end date. Please read Note 18—Stockholders’ Equity to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion on the share repurchase program. The Term Loan B Facility may also require annual prepayments of principal with a variable percentage of our excess cash flow, 50% or 25% depending on our consolidated year end secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Term Loan B Facility agreement).

Cash Requirements
We have various cash requirements stemming from investment strategies, contractual obligations, and financial commitments in the normal course of our operations and financing activities. Contractual obligations include future cash payments required under existing contractual arrangements, such as debt and lease agreements. These cash requirements and obligations may result from both general financing activities and from commercial arrangements that are directly related to our operating activities. We also continue to seek strategic investments in business opportunities, however the amount and timing of those investments are not predictable. Our material cash requirements as of December 31, 2022 include:
Debt and Interest Payments. Current and long-term debt includes the scheduled principal payments related to our outstanding debt obligations and letters of credit. Our estimated interest payments due for 2023 are $44.3 million and our total estimated undiscounted future interest payments will be $133.3 million on the debt obligations held as of December 31, 2022 and using interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2022. Please read Note 13—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Capital Expenditures and Turnaround Costs. Our deferred turnaround costs and capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, for the year ended December 31, 2022, totaled approximately $82.6 million and were primarily related to the 2021 turnaround and related scheduled maintenance work at our Washington refinery, capital projects at our Hawaii refinery, and underground tank replacements, rebranding, and point of sale and other equipment upgrades at our Retail segment. Our capital expenditures and deferred turnaround costs budget for 2023 ranges from $85 to $95 million and primarily relates to scheduled maintenance and other capital projects related to regulatory compliance, information technology, and growth. We expect to spend approximately $35 to $45 million annually on maintenance and sustaining capital projects over the next five years.
Operating Lease Liabilities. Operating lease liabilities primarily include obligations associated with the lease of land, office space, retail facilities, and other facilities used in the storage and transportation of crude oil and refined products. Please read Note 16—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Finance Lease Liabilities. Finance lease liabilities primarily include obligations associated with the lease of retail facilities and vehicles. Please read Note 16—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Purchase Commitments. Purchase commitments primarily consist of contracts executed as of December 31, 2022 for the purchase of crude oil for use at our refineries that are scheduled for delivery in 2023. As of December 31, 2022, we have material purchase commitments of $4.3 billion, with required cash outlays primarily expected in the next twelve months.
Supply and Offtake Agreement. On June 1, 2021, we and J. Aron entered into the second amended and restated supply and offtake agreement which expires on May 31, 2024, with a one-year extension option. We and J. Aron entered into amendments to the Supply and Offtake Agreement on April 25, 2022, and May 17, 2022, which, among other things, increased the capacity under the Discretionary Draw Facility. Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement. We and MLC entered into amendments to the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement on February 11, 2021, December 17, 2021, March 9, 2022, May 9, 2022, August 11, 2022, and November 2, 2022, which, among other things, increased the maximum borrowing capacity under the MLC receivable advances. Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Billings Acquisition. On October 20, 2022, we entered into a purchase agreement with Exxon Mobil Corporation, ExxonMobil Oil Corporation and ExxonMobil Pipeline Company LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”) to acquire (i) the high-conversion, complex refinery located in Billings, Montana, and certain associated distribution and logistics assets, and (ii) 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Exxon Billings Cogeneration, Inc. and in Yellowstone Logistics Holding Company. Upon a successful closing of the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement, we would pay a purchase price of $310 million plus the value of hydrocarbon inventory and adjusted working capital to the Sellers. The purchase price is also subject to other purchase price adjustments. We have not recorded a related contingency during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as this transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter
60
of 2023. Please read Note 4—Acquisitions to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Environmental Matters. Our operations are subject to extensive and periodically-changing federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations including but not limited to air emissions, wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management activities. Additionally, we have asset retirement obligations in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government or regulatory action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. Please read Note 9—Asset Retirement Obligations and Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations were based on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Our significant accounting policies are described in our audited consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K. We have identified certain estimates as being of particular importance to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and which require the application of significant judgment by management. We analyze our estimates on a periodic basis, including those related to fair value, impairments, natural gas and crude oil reserves, bad debts, natural gas and oil properties, income taxes, derivatives, contingencies, and litigation and base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting estimates affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Inventory and Obligations Under Inventory Financing Agreements
Commodity inventories, excluding commodity inventories at the Washington refinery, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the FIFO accounting method. Commodity inventories at the Washington refinery are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the LIFO inventory accounting method. We value merchandise along with spare parts, materials, and supplies at average cost. Estimating the net realizable value of our inventory requires management to make assumptions about the timing of sales and the expected proceeds that will be realized for these sales. Please read Note 6—Inventories to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
All of the crude oil utilized at the Hawaii refinery is financed by J. Aron under procurement contracts. The crude oil remains in the legal title of J. Aron and is stored in our storage tanks governed by a storage agreement. Legal title to the crude oil passes to us at the tank outlet. After processing, J. Aron takes title to the refined products stored in our storage tanks until they are sold to our retail locations or to third parties. We record the inventory owned by J. Aron on our behalf as inventory with a corresponding accrued liability on our balance sheet because we maintain the risk of loss until the refined products are sold to third parties and we have an obligation to repurchase it. The valuation of our repurchase obligation requires that we make estimates of the prices and differentials assuming settlement occurs at the end of the reporting period.
We are a party to the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement with MLC. Under this arrangement, U.S. Oil purchases crude oil supplied from third-party suppliers and MLC provides credit support for certain of these purchases. U.S. Oil holds title to all crude oil and refined products inventories at all times and pledges such inventories, together with all receivables arising from the sales of these inventories, exclusively to MLC. The valuation of our terminal obligation requires that we make estimates of the prices and differentials for our then monthly forward purchase obligations.
Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding both our Hawaii and Washington inventory financing agreements.
Fair Value Measurements
We measure certain assets and liabilities at their fair market value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments and environmental credit obligations. We also measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when specific triggering events occur, such as business combinations and events which indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In estimating fair value, we use discounted cash flow projections, recent comparable market transactions, if available, or quoted
61
prices. We consider assumptions that third parties would make in estimating fair value, including the highest and best use of the asset. The assumptions used by another party could differ significantly from our assumptions.
We classify fair value balances based on the classification of the inputs used to calculate the fair value of a transaction. The inputs used to measure fair value have been placed in a hierarchy based on priority. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted, readily observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Please read Note 15—Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Business Combinations
We recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations separately from goodwill at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. We obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists in estimating fair values of tangible and intangible assets based on available historical information and on expectations and assumptions about the future, considering the perspectives of marketplace participants. These valuation methods require management to make estimates and assumptions regarding characteristics of the acquired property and future revenues and expenses. Changes in these estimates and assumptions would result in different amounts allocated to the related assets and liabilities. The measurement period may be up to one year from the acquisition date; we may record adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation during this time, concluding at the end of the one year period or final determination of the values of consideration transferred and assets and liabilities assumed, whichever comes first. Subsequent adjustments, if any, are recorded to the consolidated statement of operations. Please read Note 4—Acquisitions and Note 15—Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets
We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill of a reporting unit may not be fully recoverable. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a quantitative test is required. Under the quantitative test, we compare the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment loss is recorded. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we estimate the present value of expected future cash flows using a market participant discount rate. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value using observable multiples for comparable companies within our industry. These valuation methods require us to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows, capital projects, commodity prices, long-term growth rates, and discount rates. Please read Note 10—Goodwill and Intangible Assets to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information, including the goodwill impairment we recorded in the first quarter of 2020.
We review property, plant, and equipment, operating leases, and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We use a cash flows model to estimate value because there is usually a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets. Future cash flows estimates used for impairment reviews are based on assessments requiring judgment, including future production volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, margins, discount rates, expected capital expenditures, and other factors based on all available information available as of the date of the review. Impairment is indicated when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying value. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value. The fair value of long-lived assets is determined using the income approach. Please read Note 8—Property, Plant, and Equipment and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information, including the asset impairment we recorded in the first quarter of 2020.
Environmental Matters and Asset Retirement Obligations
We record liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Cost estimates are based on the expected timing and extent of remedial actions required by governing agencies, experience gained from similar sites for which environmental assessments or remediation have been completed, and the amount of our anticipated liability considering the proportional liability and financial abilities of other responsible parties. Usually, the timing of these accruals coincides with the completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action. Please read Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K
62
for further information about our environmental liabilities and assessments.
We record asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) at fair value in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. Estimating the cost and timing of future remedial efforts is difficult and related technologies, costs, regulatory and other compliance considerations, timing, discount rates, and other inputs into the valuations are subject to change. Please read Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Asset Retirement Obligations,” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and NOL and tax credit carry forwards. The realizability of deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly based on a “more likely than not” standard and, to the extent this threshold is not met, a valuation allowance is recorded. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. These liabilities are recorded based on our assessment of existing tax laws and regulations. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences become deductible and may vary from our estimates for a number of reasons, including different interpretations of tax laws and regulations. New tax laws and regulations, and changes to existing tax laws and regulations, are proposed and promulgated continuously. The implementation of future tax laws and regulatory initiatives, as well as future interpretations on historical tax laws and regulations, could result in increased tax liabilities that cannot be predicted at this time. Please read Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Income Taxes,” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future results of operations over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, among other factors, management concluded that we did not meet the “more likely than not” requirement in order to recognize deferred tax assets and therefore, a valuation allowance has been recorded for substantially all of our net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a growth-oriented company based in Houston, Texas, that owns and operates market-leading energy and infrastructure businesses. For more information, please read “Part I –Item 1. — Business—Overview” of this Form 10-K.
Known Trends or Uncertainties
While the market indices presented below under “Item 7. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations” are representative of the results of our refineries, each refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis will differ from the benchmark due to a variety of factors that affect the performance of the specific refinery. These factors include, but are not limited to, the actual type and timing of crude oil throughput; product yields; transportation and storage costs; fuel burn; product premiums or discounts; inventory fluctuations; feedstock and product purchases; commodity price risk-management activities; crude oil purchase financing activities; and other factors not reflected in the benchmark refining margin. We operate in logistically complex, niche markets and, as such, each of our refineries has unique cost advantages and disadvantages as compared to their respective relevant market indices.
Recent Events Affecting Comparability of Periods
COVID-19 Pandemic
The ongoing spread of COVID-19, in conjunction with related government and other preventative measures taken to mitigate the spread of the virus, continued to cause severe disruptions in the worldwide economy in 2021, including the global demand for crude oil and refined products, the movement of people and goods in the United States, and the global supply chain for industrial and commercial production, all of which have in turn disrupted our businesses and operations. During 2021, vaccine availability and acceptance and easing of government responses to the pandemic such as travel restrictions led to increased travel in the regions in which we operate. The increase in travel has resulted in higher demand for refined products, an important driver in key aspects of our operations, including sales volumes and the prices of crude oil and refined products. Full recovery to pre-pandemic levels of global demand remains uncertain, however, as additional variants may emerge that cause a resurgence of COVID-19 and travel restrictions continue to limit international travel. For more information, please read “Item 1. — Business — Markets” of this Form 10-K.
We have undertaken additional liquidity-enhancing measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including deferring or delaying certain capital expenditures related to turnaround activities at our Washington refinery. We closed sale-leaseback transactions (the “Sale-Leaseback Transactions”) in the first quarter of 2021, in which we sold twenty-two (22) retail convenience store/fuel station properties located in Hawaii (the “Sale-Leaseback Properties”) for $112.8 million, net of fees. We also entered into a lease on the properties for fifteen (15) years, unless earlier terminated, with up to four 5-year renewal options. On March 19, 2021, we sold 5.75 million shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $16.00 per share resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $87.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
We believe the steps we have taken strengthen our ability to operate through current conditions. We continue to maintain existing processes and procedures including, but not limited to, processes and procedures around protection of our technology systems and proprietary data, even though many of our employees are working from home. The health and well-being of our employees and customers are our top priorities as we continue navigating the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The financial results contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect the continued impacts on our business of the COVID-19 pandemic experienced during 2021 in the regions in which we operate. The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and we continue to actively monitor the impacts of the virus on our people, operations, financial condition, liquidity, suppliers, customers, and industry. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of the situation, the full magnitude of the COVID-19 impact on our financial condition, future results of operations, and future cash flows and liquidity is uncertain and has been and may continue to be material.
Washington Acquisition
On January 11, 2019, we completed the Washington Acquisition for total consideration of $326.5 million, including acquired working capital, consisting of cash consideration of $289.5 million and approximately 2.4 million shares of our
33
common stock with a fair value of $37.0 million issued to the seller of U.S. Oil. The results of operations for U.S. Oil were included in our refining and logistics segments commencing January 11, 2019. Please read Note 4—Acquisitions to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
In connection with the consummation of the Washington Acquisition, we assumed the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement with MLC that provides a structured financing arrangement based on U.S. Oil’s crude oil and refined products inventories and associated accounts receivable. Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Second Amended and Restated J. Aron Supply and Offtake Agreement
Prior to July 1, 2021, under the first amended and restated supply and offtake agreement we had the right to defer payments owed to J. Aron under a deferred payment arrangement up to the lesser of $165 million or 85% of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. On June 1, 2021, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Supply and Offtake Agreement (the “Supply and Offtake Agreement”), which provided for a discretionary draw facility to be available to PHR (the “Discretionary Draw Facility”) commencing as of July 1, 2021. Under the Discretionary Draw Facility, J. Aron agreed to make advances to PHR in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of $165 million or the sum of the borrowing base, which is calculated as (x) 85% of the eligible accounts receivables, plus (y) the lesser of $82.5 million and 85% of eligible hydrocarbon inventory, minus (z) such reserves as established by J. Aron in respect of eligible receivables and eligible hydrocarbon inventory. Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020
Net Loss. Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021 improved from a net loss of $409.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to a net loss of $81.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The improvement was primarily driven by favorable refined product sales pricing and feedstock costs at our Hawaii refinery, partially offset by higher inventory financing costs at our Washington refinery related to rising inventory financing and product costs. Other factors impacting our results period over period include a 2021 gain on sale of assets of $63.9 million primarily related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed in the first quarter of 2021, asset impairment charges of $1.8 million in 2021 as compared to our 2020 goodwill impairment of $67.9 million and asset impairment charges of $17.9 million, and an other-than-temporary impairment of $45.3 million related to our equity investment in Laramie Energy in 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA was $61.5 million compared to a loss of $86.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The improvement was primarily related to favorable realized refined product crack spreads at all our refineries, favorable feedstock, purchased product and derivative costs at our Hawaii refinery, and higher refined product sales volumes at our Wyoming refinery, partially offset by unfavorable inventory financing and environmental compliance costs and higher operating expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Adjusted Net Loss was $100.3 million compared to $249.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change was primarily related to the same factors described above for the increase in Adjusted EBITDA.
Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2019
Net Income (Loss). Our net income decreased from $40.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to a net loss of $409.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in our net income (loss) was primarily driven by lower refining sales volumes and unfavorable crack spreads related to COVID-19 demand destruction, increased RINs expenses and derivative costs, goodwill and asset impairments of $85.8 million, and an unfavorable change in lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments, partially offset by cost reductions across our businesses in response to COVID-19 and higher retail fuel margins. In addition, we incurred an other-than-temporary impairment of $45.3 million related to our equity investment in Laramie Energy in 2020, as compared to an other-than-temporary impairment of $83.2 million in 2019. Other factors impacting our results period over period include a $49.0 million reduction in our income tax benefit and lower debt extinguishment and commitment costs.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss). For the year ended December 31, 2020, Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $86.7 million compared to earnings of $258.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The change was primarily
34
related to lower refining sales volumes and unfavorable crack spreads related to COVID-19 demand destruction, partially offset by lower operating expense and higher retail fuel margins.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was a loss of $249.8 million compared to income of $90.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The change was primarily related to the same factors described above for the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and higher depreciation, depletion, and amortization (“DD&A”) due to recently completed capital projects, including turnaround projects, partially offset by a $4.6 million decrease in interest expense and financing costs and a $5.8 million decrease in our Equity losses from Laramie Energy, excluding our share of unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and excluding impairment changes associated with our investment in Laramie Energy.
The following table summarizes our consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 (in thousands). The following should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

________________________________________________________
(1)Feedstocks throughput and sales volumes per day for the Washington refinery for the year ended December 31, 2019 are calculated based on the 355-day period for which we owned the Washington refinery in 2019. The amounts for the total refining segment represent the sum of the Hawaii, Washington, and Wyoming refineries’ throughput or sales volumes averaged over the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.
(2)We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel by dividing Adjusted Gross Margin by total refining throughput. Adjusted Gross Margin for our Washington refinery is determined under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory costing method. Adjusted Gross Margin for our other refineries is determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory costing method. Please see discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin below.
(3)Management uses production costs per barrel to evaluate performance and compare efficiency to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate production costs per barrel; different companies within the industry calculate it in different ways. We calculate production costs per barrel by dividing all direct production costs, which include the costs to run the refineries including personnel costs, repair and maintenance costs, insurance, utilities, and other miscellaneous costs, by total refining throughput. Our production costs are included in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) on our consolidated statement of operations, which also includes costs related to our bulk marketing operations.
(4)In 2020, following the implementation of IMO 2020, we established the 3-1-2 Singapore Crack Spread (or three barrels of Brent crude oil converted into one barrel of gasoline and two barrels of distillates (diesel and jet fuel)) as a new benchmark for our Hawaii operations. By removing the high sulfur fuel oil reference in the index, we believe the 3-1-2 Singapore Crack Spread is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Hawaii.
38
(5)We believe the Pacific Northwest 5-2-2-1 Index is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Tacoma, Washington. The Pacific Northwest 5-2-2-1 Index is computed by taking two parts gasoline (sub-octane), two parts middle distillates (ultra-low sulfur diesel (“ULSD”) and jet fuel), and one part fuel oil as created from five barrels of Alaskan North Slope (“ANS”) crude oil. The 2019 prices for the year ended December 31, 2019 represent the price averaged over the period from January 11, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
(6)The profitability of our Wyoming refinery is heavily influenced by crack spreads in nearby markets. We believe the Wyoming 3-2-1 Index is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Wyoming. The Wyoming 3-2-1 Index is computed by taking two parts gasoline and one part distillates (ULSD) as created from three barrels of West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (“WTI”). Pricing is based 50% on applicable product pricing in Rapid City, South Dakota, and 50% on applicable product pricing in Denver, Colorado.
Below is a summary of key operating statistics for the retail segment for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019:

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are considered non-GAAP financial measures. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted Gross Margin. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as (i) operating income (loss) adjusted for operating expense (excluding depreciation); depreciation, depletion, and amortization (“DD&A”); impairment expense; loss (gain) on sale of assets, net; inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase or terminal obligations, contango (gains) and backwardation losses associated with our Washington inventory and intermediation obligation, and purchase price allocation adjustments); LIFO layer liquidation impacts associated with our Washington inventory; Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) loss (gain) in excess of net obligation (which represents the income statement effect of reflecting our RINs liability on a net basis); and unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives or (ii) revenues less cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) plus inventory valuation adjustment, unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives, LIFO layer liquidation impacts associated with our Washington inventory, and RINs loss (gain) in excess of net obligation. We define cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) as the hydrocarbon-related costs of inventory sold, transportation costs of delivering product to customers, crude oil consumed in the refining process, costs to satisfy our RINs and environmental credit obligations, and certain hydrocarbon fees and taxes. Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) also includes the unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and the inventory valuation adjustment that we exclude from Adjusted Gross Margin. Beginning in 2020, Adjusted Gross Margin also includes the contango gains and backwardation losses associated with our Washington inventory and intermediation obligation. Prior to 2020, contango gains, and backwardation (losses) captured by our Washington intermediation agreement were excluded from Adjusted Gross Margin (as part of the inventory valuation adjustment). This change to our non-GAAP information was made to reflect the favorable or unfavorable impact of the market structure on the profitability of our Washington refinery consistent with the presentation of such impacts on our other refineries. Also beginning in 2020, Adjusted Gross Margin excludes the LIFO layer liquidation impacts associated with our Washington inventory. We have recast the non-GAAP information for the year ended December 31, 2019 to conform to the current period presentation.
Management believes Adjusted Gross Margin is an important measure of operating performance and uses Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel to evaluate operating performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry and to industry benchmarks. Management believes Adjusted Gross Margin provides useful information to investors because it eliminates the gross impact of volatile commodity prices and adjusts for certain non-cash items and timing differences created by our inventory financing agreements and lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to demonstrate the earnings potential of the business before other fixed and variable costs, which are reported separately in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) and Depreciation, depletion, and amortization.
Adjusted Gross Margin should not be considered an alternative to operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Gross
39
Margin presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation since each company may define this term differently as they may include other manufacturing costs and depreciation expense in cost of revenues.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, operating income (loss), on a historical basis, for selected segments, for the periods indicated (in thousands):

________________________________________
(1) For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, there was no LIFO liquidation adjustment. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no loss (gain) on sale of assets. For the year ended December 31, 2019, there was no impairment expense.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as Net income (loss) excluding inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase or terminal obligations, contango (gains) and backwardation losses associated with our Washington inventory and intermediation obligation, and purchase price allocation adjustments), the LIFO layer liquidation impacts associated with our Washington inventory, RINs loss (gain) in excess of net obligation, unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives, acquisition and integration costs, debt extinguishment and commitment costs, increase in (release of) tax valuation allowance and other deferred tax items, changes in the value of contingent consideration and common stock warrants, severance costs, (gain) loss on sale of assets, impairment expense, impairment expense associated with our investment in Laramie Energy and our share of Laramie Energy’s asset impairment losses in excess of our basis difference, and Par’s share of Laramie Energy’s unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives. Beginning in 2020, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) also includes the contango gains and backwardation
40
losses associated with our Washington inventory and intermediation obligation. Prior to 2020, contango gains, and backwardation (losses) captured by our Washington intermediation agreement were excluded from Adjusted Net Income (Loss) (as part of the inventory valuation adjustment). This change to our non-GAAP information was made to reflect the favorable or unfavorable impact of the market structure on the profitability of our Washington refinery consistent with the presentation of such impacts on our other refineries. Also beginning in 2020, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excludes the LIFO layer liquidation impacts associated with our Washington inventory. We have recast the non-GAAP information for the year ended December 31, 2019 to conform to the current period presentation.
Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excluding DD&A, interest expense and financing costs, equity losses (earnings) from Laramie Energy excluding Par’s share of unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives, impairment of Par’s investment, and our share of Laramie Energy’s asset impairment losses in excess of our basis difference, and income tax expense (benefit).
We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental financial measures that allow investors to assess:
•The financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis;
•The ability of our assets to generate cash to pay interest on our indebtedness; and
•Our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows provided by operating, investing, and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation as other companies may define these terms differently.

Discussion of Operating Income (Loss) by Segment
Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020
Refining. Operating loss for our refining segment was $88.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an improvement of $243.0 million compared to operating loss of $331.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in profitability was primarily driven by favorable realized product crack spreads across all our refineries, favorable purchased product and feedstock costs at our Hawaii refinery, favorable derivative costs, and a 28% increase in refining sales volume at our Wyoming refinery, partially offset by higher inventory financing costs related to the rising cost of crude oil. Other factors impacting our results period over period include asset impairment charges of $1.8 million in 2021 from discontinued capital projects as compared to our 2020 goodwill impairment of $38.1 million and asset impairment charges of $17.9 million, and a 2021 gain on sale of assets of $19.7 million primarily related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed in the first quarter of 2021.
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $51.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $16.2 million compared to operating income of $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is
42
primarily due to net 12% and 32% higher throughput across our Hawaii and Wyoming logistics assets, respectively, related to increased demand as a result of reduced COVID-19-related travel restrictions and lower lease costs on barges in Hawaii.
Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $81.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $57.0 million compared to operating income of $24.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in profitability was primarily due to a gain on sale of assets of $45.0 million primarily related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed in the first quarter of 2021, a 2020 goodwill impairment of $29.8 million with no corresponding impairment in 2021, and an increase in sales volumes of 6%, partially offset by a decrease in fuel margins of 17% related to rising fuel costs and market-driven margin compression and additional rent expense related to the Sale-Leaseback Transactions that we closed in the first quarter of 2021.
Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2019
Refining. Operating loss for our refining segment was $331.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $425.6 million compared to operating income of $93.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in profitability was primarily driven by lower refining sales volumes at our Hawaii and Wyoming refineries related to COVID-19 demand destruction and turnarounds in both locations, unfavorable crude oil differentials and crack spreads, increased RINs expenses and derivative costs, goodwill impairment charges of $38.1 million, asset impairment charges of $17.9 million, and unfavorable lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments of $10.6 million, partially offset by improved energy-related cost of sales and operating expense reductions across our refineries in response to COVID-19.
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $24.1 million compared to operating income of $59.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily due to a net 30% and 25% lower throughput across our Hawaii and Wyoming logistics assets, respectively, and lower neighbor island sales in Hawaii related to COVID-19 demand destruction, major turnarounds in both locations, and higher DD&A, partially offset by a net 9% increase in throughput across our Washington logistics assets.
Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $24.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $25.0 million compared to operating income of $49.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in profitability was primarily due to goodwill impairment charges of $29.8 million and an 18% decline in sales volumes, partially offset by an increase in fuel margins of 25% and operating expense reductions in response to the economic impacts of COVID-19 on our businesses.
Discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin by Segment
Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020
Refining. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our refining Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately $200.3 million, an increase of $169.2 million compared to $31.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in profitability was primarily driven by favorable realized product crack spreads across all our refineries and favorable feedstock and purchased product costs in Hawaii, partially offset by unfavorable feedstock and inventory financing costs in Washington. Adjusted gross margin for the Hawaii refinery improved from $(1.63) per barrel in 2020 to $3.24 per barrel in 2021 primarily due to favorable product crack spreads and feedstock, purchased product, and derivative costs. Adjusted gross margin for the Wyoming refinery increased by $8.72 per barrel primarily due to favorable product crack spreads and a 28% increase in sales volumes. Adjusted gross margin for the Washington refinery decreased by $1.92 per barrel primarily due to higher inventory financing and feedstock costs, partially offset by favorable realized product crack spreads and lower logistics costs.
Logistics. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately $87.9 million, an increase of $17.4 million compared to $70.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by net 12% and 32% higher throughput across our Hawaii and Wyoming logistics assets, respectively, due to increased sales volumes in both regions driven by reduced COVID-19-related travel restrictions, and lower lease costs on barges in Hawaii.
Retail. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately $118.9 million, a decrease of $9.9 million compared to $128.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a 17% decrease in fuel margins due to rising fuel costs and market-driven margin compression, partially offset by a 6% increase in sales volumes.
43
Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2019
Refining. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our refining Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately $31.1 million, a decrease of $370.6 million compared to $401.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in profitability was primarily driven by a 23% decline in sales volumes and declines in crack spreads. Adjusted gross margin for the Hawaii refinery decreased from $3.30 per barrel in 2019 to $(1.63) per barrel in 2020 primarily due to 30% lower sales volumes, an increase in RINs expenses, and unfavorable crude oil differentials. Adjusted gross margin for the Wyoming refinery decreased $14.88 per barrel primarily due to a 24% decline in sales volumes, an increase in RINs expenses, and a decrease in crack spreads. The decline in refining sales volumes in Hawaii and Wyoming was driven by COVID-19 demand destruction and turnarounds in both locations. Adjusted gross margin for the Washington refinery decreased $7.38 per barrel primarily due to unfavorable crack spreads and higher RINs expenses, partially offset by favorable derivative costs.
Logistics. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately $70.5 million, a decrease of $16.6 million compared to $87.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by a net 30% and 25% lower throughput across our Hawaii and Wyoming logistics assets, respectively, and lower neighbor island sales in Hawaii related to COVID-19 demand destruction and major turnarounds at both locations, partially offset by a net 9% increase in throughput across our Washington logistics assets.
Retail. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately $128.8 million, an increase of $2.2 million compared to $126.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a 25% increase in fuel margins, partially offset by a decline in sales volumes of 18% due to COVID-19 demand destruction.
Discussion of Consolidated Results
Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020
Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2021, revenues were $4.7 billion, a $1.6 billion increase compared to $3.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $1.5 billion in third-party revenues at our refining segment primarily as a result of increases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices. Brent crude oil prices recovered from COVID-19-related lows, averaging $70.95 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $43.21 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2020, and WTI crude oil prices averaged $68.11 per barrel during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $39.65 in the year ended December 31, 2020. Other factors contributing to the increase in revenues at our refining segment include a 28% increase in refining sales volume at our Wyoming refinery and improved realized product crack spreads across all our refineries. Revenues in our retail segment increased $92.7 million primarily due to a 23% increase in fuel prices and a 6% increase in sales volume.
Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2021, cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) was $4.3 billion, a $1.4 billion increase compared to $2.9 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices and refining sales volumes at our Wyoming refinery as discussed above, higher inventory financing costs, and 6% higher sales volumes at our Retail segment, partially offset by favorable purchased product and feedstock costs at our Hawaii refinery and favorable derivative costs.
Operating Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2021, operating expense (excluding depreciation) was approximately $299.7 million, an increase of $22.3 million compared to $277.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher utilities and maintenance expenses at our Hawaii refinery and increased rent expenses driven by new leases from the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we completed in the first quarter of 2021.
Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization. For the year ended December 31, 2021, DD&A expense was approximately $94.2 million, an increase of $4.2 million compared to $90.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to amortization of our Hawaii refinery turnaround completed in 2020.
Impairment Expense. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded asset impairment charges of $1.8 million primarily related to discontinued capital projects. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded goodwill and asset impairment charges totaling $85.8 million related to our Refining and Retail segments. Please read Note 10—Goodwill and Intangible Assets and Note 8—Property, Plant, and Equipment and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on our 2020 goodwill impairment and our 2021 and 2020 asset impairment charges, respectively.
Gain on Sale of Assets, Net. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the gain on sale of assets, net was approximately $64.7 million and primarily related to the gain recognized as a result of the Sale-Leaseback Transactions we closed on
44
February 23 and March 12, 2021. Please read Note 16—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on the Sale-Leaseback Transactions. No such transaction occurred during the year ended December 31, 2020.
General and Administrative Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2021, general and administrative expense (excluding depreciation) was approximately $48.1 million, an increase of $6.8 million compared to $41.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher employee costs, an increase in the use of outside services, and higher information technology infrastructure costs.
Interest Expense and Financing Costs, Net. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our interest expense and financing costs were approximately $66.5 million, a decrease of $3.7 million compared to $70.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower outstanding debt balances driven by the maturity of our outstanding 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes in June 2021, the repayment of the PHL, Mid Pac, and Retail Property Term Loans and interest rate swap related to the Retail Property Term Loan in the first quarter of 2021, and quarterly principal payments on our Term Loan B Facility. These decreases were partially offset by higher interest expense related to the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes issued in June 2020 and an increase of $1.1 million related to increased borrowings under our inventory financing agreements. Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 13—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on our inventory financing and indebtedness, respectively.
Change in Value of Common Stock Warrants. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the change in value of common stock warrants resulted in a gain of $4.3 million. During January and March 2020, one of our stockholders and its affiliates exercised the remaining 354,350 common stock warrants in exchange for 350,542 shares of common stock. We estimated the fair value of our outstanding common stock warrants and the income recognized upon exercise using the difference between the strike price of the warrant and the market price of our common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our stock price decreased from $23.24 per share on December 31, 2019 to $7.10 per share on March 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no common stock warrants outstanding.
Debt extinguishment and commitment costs. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our debt extinguishment and commitment costs were approximately $8.1 million and primarily represent $6.6 million in extinguishment costs associated with the early repayment of a portion of the outstanding 12.875% Senior Secured Notes on June 14, 2021 and $1.4 million in extinguishment costs associated with the early repayment of the Retail Property Term Loan on February 23, 2021. Please read Note 13—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion. There were no debt extinguishment and commitment costs for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Gain on curtailment of pension obligation. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a gain on curtailment of pension obligation of $2.0 million related to the amendment to the Wyoming Refining defined benefit plan. Please read Note 19—Benefit Plans to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on the gain on curtailment of pension obligation. There was no gain on curtailment of pension obligation for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Equity Earnings (Losses) from Laramie Energy, LLC. For the year ended December 31, 2020, equity losses from Laramie Energy were approximately $46.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $45.3 million related to our investment in Laramie Energy. As of June 30, 2020, we discontinued the application of the equity method of accounting for our investment in Laramie Energy because the book value of such investment has been reduced to zero. As such, there were no earnings or losses from Laramie Energy recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021. Please read Note 3—Investment in Laramie Energy, LLC to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Income Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded an income tax expense of $1.0 million primarily driven by foreign withholding taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an income tax benefit of $20.7 million primarily driven by an increase in our net operating loss carryforwards that do not expire and the change in our indefinitely-lived goodwill due to the impairments.
Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2019
Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2020, revenues were $3.1 billion, a $2.3 billion decrease compared to $5.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $2.2 billion in third-party revenues at our refining segment primarily as a result of decreases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices and lower sales volumes related to COVID-19 demand destruction. Refined product sales volumes decreased 23% from 176.8 Mbpd in the year
45
ended December 31, 2019 to 136.7 Mbpd in the year ended December 31, 2020. Brent crude oil prices averaged $43.21 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $64.19 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2019, with similar decreases experienced for WTI crude oil prices. Revenues in our retail segment decreased $95.2 million primarily due to 18% declines in both sales volumes and fuel prices.
Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2020, cost of revenues (excluding depreciation), was $2.9 billion, a $1.9 billion decrease compared to $4.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the decreases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices and lower refining sales volumes discussed above. These decreases were partially offset by unfavorable crude oil differentials, higher RINs expenses, increased derivative costs, and an unfavorable lower of cost and net realizable value adjustment of $10.6 million. Cost of revenues at our retail segment decreased $97.4 million primarily due to lower fuel costs and an 18% decline in sales volumes.
Operating Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2020, operating expense (excluding depreciation) was approximately $277.4 million, a decrease of $35.5 million compared to $312.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower utilities and repairs and maintenance expenses and COVID-19- related reductions in travel, employee costs, and the use of outside services.
Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization. For the year ended December 31, 2020, DD&A expense was approximately $90.0 million, an increase of $3.9 million compared to $86.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to recently completed capital projects, including three turnarounds during 2019 and 2020 and our Washington renewables logistics project.
Impairment Expense. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded goodwill and asset impairment charges totaling $85.8 million related to our Refining and Retail segments. Please read Note 10—Goodwill and Intangible Assets and Note 8—Property, Plant, and Equipment and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on the goodwill impairment of $67.9 million and asset impairment of $17.9 million, respectively. There was no impairment expense for the year ended December 31, 2019.
General and Administrative Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the year ended December 31, 2020, general and administrative expense (excluding depreciation) was approximately $41.3 million, a decrease of $4.9 million compared to $46.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to COVID-19-related reductions in travel and employee costs and a reduction in the use of outside services.
Acquisition and Integration Costs. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred approximately $0.6 million of expenses primarily related to integration costs for the Washington Acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred approximately $4.7 million of expenses primarily related to acquisition and integration costs for the Washington and Par West Acquisitions. Please read Note 4—Acquisitions to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Interest Expense and Financing Costs, Net. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our interest expense and financing costs were approximately $70.2 million, a decrease of $4.6 million compared to $74.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a $4.0 million decrease in due to the exchange of a portion of our outstanding 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes during 2019, a decrease of $4.7 million due to reduced borrowings under our inventory financing agreements, and a decrease of $4.3 million due to the reduced principal and lower variable interest rates on our Term Loan B Facility. These decreases were partially offset by interest expense of $8.1 million related to the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes issued in June 2020. Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 13—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on our inventory financing and indebtedness, respectively.
Change in Value of Common Stock Warrants. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the change in value of common stock warrants resulted in a gain of approximately $4.3 million, a change of $7.5 million compared to a loss of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. During January and March 2020, one of our stockholders and its affiliates exercised the remaining 354,350 common stock warrants in exchange for 350,542 shares of common stock. We estimated the fair value of our outstanding common stock warrants and the income recognized upon exercise using the difference between the strike price of the warrant and the market price of our common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2019, our stock price increased from $14.18 per share on December 31, 2018 to $23.24 per share on December 31, 2019, which resulted in an increase in the value of the common stock warrants.
Debt extinguishment and commitment costs. For the year ended December 31, 2019, our debt extinguishment and commitment costs were approximately $11.6 million and represent the commitment and other fees associated with the financing
46
of the Washington Acquisition and the extinguishment costs associated with the exchange of a portion of our outstanding 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes. There were no debt extinguishment and commitment costs for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Equity Earnings (Losses) from Laramie Energy, LLC. For the year ended December 31, 2020, equity losses from Laramie Energy were approximately $46.9 million, a difference of $42.9 million compared to equity losses of $89.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $45.3 million and $81.5 million related to our investment in Laramie Energy, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, we have discontinued the application of the equity method of accounting for our investment in Laramie Energy because the book value of such investment has been reduced to zero. Please read Note 3—Investment in Laramie Energy, LLC to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Income Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an income tax benefit of $20.7 million primarily driven by an increase in our net operating loss carryforwards that do not expire and the change in our indefinitely-lived goodwill due to the impairments. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of $69.7 million primarily driven by a $64.2 million benefit associated with a partial release of our valuation allowance in connection with the Washington Acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA calculations. See “Results of Operations — Non-GAAP Performance Measures — Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA” above.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), on a historical basis for the periods indicated (in thousands):

(1)Includes increases in (releases of) our valuation allowance associated with business combinations and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities that are not offset by a change in the valuation allowance. These tax expenses (benefits) are included in Income tax expense (benefit) on our consolidated statements of operations.
(2)Includes impairment losses on our investment in Laramie Energy and our share of Laramie Energy’s asset impairment losses in excess of our basis difference. These impairment losses and our share of Laramie Energy’s unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives are included in Equity earnings (losses) from Laramie Energy, LLC on our consolidated statements of operations.
(3)For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no changes in valuation allowance and other deferred tax items, changes in value of common stock warrants, or equity losses from Laramie Energy, including impairment losses and our share of Laramie Energy’s unrealized losses (gains) on derivatives. For the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no debt extinguishment and commitment costs or losses (gains) on sale of assets. For the year ended December 31, 2019, there was no impairment expense or severance costs. There was no LIFO liquidation adjustment or change in value of contingent consideration for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital requirements are primarily a function of our debt maturities and debt service requirements and contractual obligations, capital expenditures, turnaround outlays, and working capital needs. Examples of working capital needs include purchases and sales of commodities and associated margin and collateral requirements, facility maintenance costs, and other costs such as payroll. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash on hand, amounts available under our credit agreements, and access to capital markets.
Our liquidity position as of December 31, 2021 was $178.7 million and consisted of $174.6 million at Par Petroleum, LLC and subsidiaries, $4.1 million at Par Pacific Holdings, and an immaterial amount at all our other subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2021, we had access to the J. Aron Discretionary Draw Facility, the ABL Credit Facility, the MLC receivable advances, and cash on hand of $112.2 million. In addition, we have the Supply and Offtake Agreement with J. Aron and the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement, which are used to finance the majority of the inventory at our Hawaii and Washington refineries, respectively. Generally, the primary uses of our capital resources have been in the operations of our refining and retail segments, payments related to acquisitions, and to repay or refinance indebtedness.
We believe our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our current capital and turnaround expenditures, working capital, and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. We may seek to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund any other significant changes to our business or to refinance existing debt. We cannot offer any assurances that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or at an acceptable cost.
In the first quarter of 2021, we closed on the sale and leaseback of twenty-two (22) of our retail properties in Hawaii for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $112.8 million net of transaction fees (the “Sale-Leaseback Transactions”). We used approximately $53.1 million of the net cash proceeds to repay the certain financing arrangements which were related to certain of the retail properties and the remainder for general corporate purposes. Please read Note 16—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion on the Sale-Leaseback Transactions.
On March 19, 2021, we sold 5.75 million shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $16.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $87.2 million (the “Equity Offering”), after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds from the Equity Offering to repay the remaining $48.7 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes at maturity in June 2021 and $36.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, and the remainder for other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, and funding working capital. Please read Note 18—Stockholders’ Equity to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion on the Equity Offering.
During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, we had significant activity related to our inventory financing and debt agreements. Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 13—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion of significant activity related to our inventory financing and debt agreements, respectively.
We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our 7.75% Senior Secured Notes, our 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, or our common stock through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately
55
negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. On November 10, 2021, the Board authorized and approved a share repurchase program for up to $50 million of the currently outstanding shares of our common stock, with no specified end date. Please read Note 18—Stockholders’ Equity for further information. The Term Loan B Facility may also require annual prepayments of principal with a variable percentage of our excess cash flow, 50% or 25% depending on our consolidated year end secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Term Loan B Facility agreement).
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes cash activities for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 (in thousands):
| Years Ended December 31, | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | ||||||||
| Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | (27,622) | $ | (37,214) | $ | 105,630 | ||||
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | 74,628 | (63,464) | (353,229) | |||||||
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | (1,094) | 42,559 | 300,208 |
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $27.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which resulted from a net loss of approximately $81.3 million, partially offset by non-cash charges to operations of approximately $41.6 million and net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $12.1 million. The change in our operating assets and liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to a net increase in our Supply and Offtake Agreement and Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement obligations of $252.9 million, an increase in our environmental credit obligations of $160.5 million, and increases in accounts payable and other current liabilities of $49.0 million, partially offset by an increase in inventories of $350.7 million, an increase in our trade receivables of $84.0 million, and $9.5 million in deferred turnaround costs associated with the Hawaii and Wyoming turnarounds. The increases in accounts receivable, inventory, Supply and Offtake Agreement, and accounts payable and other current liabilities were primarily driven by the increases in crude oil prices in 2021 and an overall increase in sales, purchases, and inventory volumes. The increase in our environmental credit obligations was primarily driven by current year production and increases in RINs prices. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $37.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which resulted from a net loss of approximately $409.1 million, partially offset by non-cash charges to operations of approximately $219.1 million and net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $152.8 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $105.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, which resulted from net income of approximately $40.8 million and non-cash charges to operations of approximately $144.9 million, partially offset by net cash used for changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $80.1 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $74.6 million and primarily related to proceeds received from the Sale-Leaseback Transactions partially offset by additions to property, plant, and equipment totaling approximately $29.5 million. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $63.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and was primarily related to additions to property, plant, and equipment totaling approximately $63.5 million. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $353.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and was primarily related to $273.4 million for the Washington Acquisition and additions to property, plant, and equipment totaling approximately $83.9 million.
Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $1.1 million and consisted primarily of proceeds of $87.2 million from our March 2021 equity offering of common stock partially offset by net repayments on our debt agreements, J. Aron deferred payment arrangement and Discretionary Draw Facility, and MLC receivable advances of $81.4 million and $5.6 million in extinguishment costs related to the repayment of the Retail Property Term Loan and a portion of the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 of approximately $42.6 million consisted primarily of proceeds from net borrowings on our debt agreements, J. Aron deferred payment arrangement, and MLC receivable advances of $49.3 million, partially offset by deferred loan costs of $6.3 million related to the issuance of the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 of approximately $300.2 million consisted primarily of proceeds from net borrowings on our debt agreements, J. Aron deferred payment arrangement, and MLC receivable advances of $313.0 million and the exercise of employee stock options of $8.2 million, partially offset by deferred loan costs of $13.5 million and payments of $8.1 million in commitment and other fees related to the funding for the Washington Acquisition and the financing costs related to the repurchase and cancellation of a portion of our 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes.
56
Cash Requirements
We have various cash requirements stemming from investment strategies, contractual obligations, and financial commitments in the normal course of our operations and financing activities. Contractual obligations include future cash payments required under existing contractual arrangements, such as debt and lease agreements. These cash requirements and obligations may result from both general financing activities and from commercial arrangements that are directly related to our operating activities. We also continue to seek strategic investments in business opportunities, however the amount and timing of those investments are not predictable. Our material cash requirements as of December 31, 2021 include:
Debt and Interest Payments. Current and long-term debt includes the scheduled principal payments related to our outstanding debt obligations and letters of credit. Our estimated interest payments due for 2022 are $46.6 million and our total estimated undiscounted future interest payments will be $194.0 million on the debt obligations held as of December 31, 2021 and using interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2021. Please read Note 13—Debt to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Capital Expenditures and Turnaround Costs. Our deferred turnaround costs and capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, for the year ended December 31, 2021, totaled approximately $39.0 million and were primarily related to the 2021 turnaround and related scheduled maintenance work at our Washington refinery, capital projects at our Hawaii refinery, and underground tank replacements, rebranding, and point of sale and other equipment upgrades at our Retail segment. Our capital expenditures and deferred turnaround costs budget for 2022 ranges from $70 to $80 million and primarily relates to the 2022 turnaround at our Washington refinery, scheduled maintenance, and other capital projects related to regulatory compliance, information technology, and growth. We expect to spend approximately $35 to $45 million annually on maintenance and sustaining capital projects and approximately $80 to $90 million on planned turnaround expenditures over the next five years.
Operating Lease Liabilities. Operating lease liabilities primarily include obligations associated with the lease of land, office space, retail facilities, and other facilities used in the storage and transportation of crude oil and refined products. Please read Note 16—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Finance Lease Liabilities. Finance lease liabilities primarily include obligations associated with the lease of retail facilities and vehicles. Please read Note 16—Leases to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Purchase Commitments. Purchase commitments primarily consist of contracts executed as of December 31, 2021 for the purchase of crude oil for use at our refineries that are scheduled for delivery in 2022. As of December 31, 2021, we have material purchase commitments of $1.2 billion, with required cash outlays primarily expected in the next twelve months.
Supply and Offtake Agreement. We have a supply and offtake agreement with J. Aron to support the operations of our Hawaii refinery. On June 1, 2021, we and J. Aron entered into a Second Amended and Restated Supply and Offtake Agreement (the “Supply and Offtake Agreement”) which expires on May 31, 2024 with a one-year extension option. Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement. In connection with the consummation of the Washington Acquisition on January 11, 2019, we assumed the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement with MLC to support the operations of our Washington refinery. On November 1, 2019, we amended the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement and extended the term through June 30, 2021. We further amended the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement on February 11, 2021 and extended the term through March 31, 2022. On December 17, 2021, we and MLC amended the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement to further extend the term through December 21, 2022 with an automatic extension to March 31, 2023 upon an ABL extension event and revises certain other terms and conditions in the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement. Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
Environmental Matters. Our operations are subject to extensive and periodically-changing federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations including but not limited to air emissions, wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management activities. Additionally, we have asset retirement obligations in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government or regulatory action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. Please read Note 9—Asset Retirement Obligations and Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.
57
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations were based on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our audited consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K. We have identified certain estimates as being of particular importance to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and which require the application of significant judgment by management. We analyze our estimates on a periodic basis, including those related to fair value, impairments, natural gas and crude oil reserves, bad debts, natural gas and oil properties, income taxes, derivatives, contingencies, and litigation and base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting estimates affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Inventory and Obligations Under Inventory Financing Agreements
Commodity inventories, excluding commodity inventories at the Washington refinery, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the FIFO accounting method. Commodity inventories at the Washington refinery are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the LIFO inventory accounting method. We value merchandise along with spare parts, materials, and supplies at average cost. Estimating the net realizable value of our inventory requires management to make assumptions about the timing of sales and the expected proceeds that will be realized for these sales. Please read Note 6—Inventories to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
All of the crude oil utilized at the Hawaii refinery is financed by J. Aron under procurement contracts. The crude oil remains in the legal title of J. Aron and is stored in our storage tanks governed by a storage agreement. Legal title to the crude oil passes to us at the tank outlet. After processing, J. Aron takes title to the refined products stored in our storage tanks until they are sold to our retail locations or to third parties. We record the inventory owned by J. Aron on our behalf as inventory with a corresponding accrued liability on our balance sheet because we maintain the risk of loss until the refined products are sold to third parties and we have an obligation to repurchase it. The valuation of our repurchase obligation requires that we make estimates of the prices and differentials assuming settlement occurs at the end of the reporting period.
In connection with the consummation of the Washington Acquisition, we became a party to the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement with MLC. Under this arrangement, U.S. Oil purchases crude oil supplied from third-party suppliers and MLC provides credit support for certain of these purchases. U.S. Oil holds title to all crude oil and refined products inventories at all times and pledges such inventories, together with all receivables arising from the sales of these inventories, exclusively to MLC. The valuation of our terminal obligation requires that we make estimates of the prices and differentials for our then monthly forward purchase obligations.
Please read Note 11—Inventory Financing Agreements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding both our Hawaii and Washington inventory financing agreements.
Fair Value Measurements
We measure certain assets and liabilities at their fair market value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments and environmental credit obligations. We also measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when specific triggering events occur, such as business combinations and events which indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In estimating fair value, we use discounted cash flow projections, recent comparable market transactions, if available, or quoted prices. We consider assumptions that third parties would make in estimating fair value, including the highest and best use of the asset. The assumptions used by another party could differ significantly from our assumptions.
We classify fair value balances based on the classification of the inputs used to calculate the fair value of a transaction. The inputs used to measure fair value have been placed in a hierarchy based on priority. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted, readily observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Please read Note 15—Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
58
Business Combinations
We recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations separately from goodwill at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. We obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists in estimating fair values of tangible and intangible assets based on available historical information and on expectations and assumptions about the future, considering the perspectives of marketplace participants. These valuation methods require management to make estimates and assumptions regarding characteristics of the acquired property and future revenues and expenses. Changes in these estimates and assumptions would result in different amounts allocated to the related assets and liabilities. The measurement period may be up to one year from the acquisition date; we may record adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation during this time, concluding at the end of the one year period or final determination of the values of consideration transferred and asses and liabilities assumed, whichever comes first. Subsequent adjustments, if any, are recorded to the consolidated statement of operations. Please read Note 4—Acquisitions and Note 15—Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets
We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill of a reporting unit may not be fully recoverable. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a quantitative test is required. Under the quantitative test, we compare the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment loss is recorded. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we estimate the present value of expected future cash flows using a market participant discount rate. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value using observable multiples for comparable companies within our industry. These valuation methods require us to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows, capital projects, commodity prices, long-term growth rates, and discount rates. Please read Note 10—Goodwill and Intangible Assets to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information, including the goodwill impairment we recorded in the first quarter of 2020.
We review property, plant, and equipment, operating leases, and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We use a cash flows model to estimate value because there is usually a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets. Future cash flows estimates used for impairment reviews are based on assessments requiring judgment, including future production volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, margins, discount rates, expected capital expenditures, and other factors based on all available information available as of the date of the review. Impairment is indicated when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying value. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value. The fair value of long-lived assets is determined using the income approach. Please read Note 8—Property, Plant, and Equipment and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information, including the asset impairment we recorded in the first quarter of 2020.
Impairment of our Investment in Laramie Energy
We evaluate our investment in Laramie Energy for impairment when factors indicate that a decrease in the value of our investment has occurred and the carrying amount of our investment may not be recoverable. The fair value of our investment in Laramie Energy is determined using the income approach and/or the market approach. Under the income approach, we estimate the present value of expected future cash flows using a market participant discount rate. Other significant inputs used in the income approach include proved and unproved reserves information and forecasts of operating expenditures obtained from Laramie Energy's management. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value using observable multiples for comparable companies within our industry. These valuation methods require us to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows, capital projects, commodity prices, long-term growth rates, and discount rates. An impairment loss, based on the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the investment, is recognized in earnings when an impairment is deemed to be other than temporary. Please read Note 3—Investment in Laramie Energy, LLC to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Environmental Matters and Asset Retirement Obligations
We record liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably
59
estimated. Cost estimates are based on the expected timing and extent of remedial actions required by governing agencies, experience gained from similar sites for which environmental assessments or remediation have been completed, and the amount of our anticipated liability considering the proportional liability and financial abilities of other responsible parties. Usually, the timing of these accruals coincides with the completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action. Please read Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information about our environmental liabilities and assessments.
We record asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) at fair value in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. Estimating the cost and timing of future remedial efforts is difficult and related technologies, costs, regulatory and other compliance considerations, timing, discount rates, and other inputs into the valuations are subject to change.

Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carry forwards. The realizability of deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly based on a “more likely than not” standard and, to the extent this threshold is not met, a valuation allowance is recorded. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. These liabilities are recorded based on our assessment of existing tax laws and regulations. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences become deductible and may vary from our estimates for a number of reasons, including different interpretations of tax laws and regulations. New tax laws and regulations, and changes to existing tax laws and regulations, are proposed and promulgated continuously. The implementation of future tax laws and regulatory initiatives, as well as future interpretations on historical tax laws and regulations, could result in increased tax liabilities that cannot be predicted at this time. Please read Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Income Taxes,” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future results of operations over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, among other factors, management concluded that we did not meet the “more likely than not” requirement in order to recognize deferred tax assets and therefore, a valuation allowance has been recorded for substantially all of our net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020.
