HollyFrontier Corporation Reports 2021 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

•Reported net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders of $558.3 million or $3.39 per diluted share and adjusted net income of $250.1 million or $1.52 per diluted share, for the year

•Reported EBITDA of $1,306.9 million and adjusted EBITDA of $915.7 million, for the year

Dallas, Texas, February 23, 2022‑‑ HollyFrontier Corporation (NYSE:HFC) ("HollyFrontier" or the "Company") today reported fourth quarter net loss attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders of $(39.5) million or $(0.24) per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to $(117.7) million or $(0.73) per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

The fourth quarter results reflect special items that collectively increased net loss by a total of $21.9 million. On a pre-tax basis, these items include acquisition integration costs of $15.8 million, a lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment of $8.7 million and charges related to the Cheyenne Refinery conversion to renewable diesel production, including decommissioning charges of $2.8 million. Excluding these items, adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter was $(17.6) million ($(0.11) per diluted share) compared to $(118.6) million ($(0.74) per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2020, which excludes certain items that collectively decreased net loss by $0.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

HollyFrontier's CEO, Michael Jennings, commented, "Despite heavy planned and unplanned refining maintenance and weather-related downtime in the fourth quarter, HollyFrontier delivered solid financial results in 2021, highlighted by record earnings in our Lubricants and Specialties business and the closing of our acquisition of the Puget Sound Refinery. Looking forward to 2022, we remain constructive on the macro environment and are focused on the execution of our strategic initiatives: the successful completion and start-up of our renewables business, closing on our acquisition of Sinclair and accelerating returns of capital to our shareholders."

Refining segment loss before interest and income taxes was $(63.5) million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $(66.1) million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The segment reported EBITDA of $25.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $7.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. This increase was driven by stronger product demand, which resulted in a consolidated refinery gross margin of $8.70 per produced barrel, a 116% increase compared to $4.02 for the fourth quarter of 2020. Crude oil charge averaged 421,000 barrels per day ("BPD") for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 379,910 BPD for the fourth quarter of 2020.

Lubricants and Specialty Products segment income before interest and income taxes was $53.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to a loss before interest and income taxes of $(54.1) million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The segment reported EBITDA of $74.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $(32.7) million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Fourth quarter of 2020 included a goodwill impairment charge of $81.9 million related to Sonneborn.

Holly Energy Partners, L.P. ("HEP") reported EBITDA of $70.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $86.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Segment Information

Our operations are organized into three reportable segments: Refining, Lubricants and Specialty Products and HEP. Our operations that are not included in the Refining, Lubricants and Specialty Products and HEP segments are included in Corporate and Other. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements and are included in Eliminations. Corporate and Other and Eliminations are aggregated and presented under the Corporate, Other and Eliminations column.

The Refining segment represents the operations of our El Dorado, Tulsa, Navajo and Woods Cross refineries, HollyFrontier Asphalt Company LLC ("HFC Asphalt") and also our recently acquired Puget Sound Refinery from the closing date on November 1, 2021 (aggregated as a reportable segment). Refining activities involve the purchase and refining of crude oil and wholesale and branded marketing of refined products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel. These petroleum products are primarily marketed in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountains extending into the Pacific Northwest geographic regions of the United States. HFC Asphalt operates various asphalt terminals in Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma. The Refining segment also included the operations of our Cheyenne Refinery until it permanently ceased petroleum refining operations during the third quarter of 2020.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, activities associated with the conversion of Cheyenne Refinery to renewable diesel production, along with the construction of renewable diesel and pre-treatment units in Artesia, New Mexico were reported in Corporate and Other. The Cheyenne renewable diesel unit was mechanically complete in the fourth quarter of 2021. The pre-treatment unit is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2022, and the Artesia renewable diesel unit is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2022. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, renewable diesel operations will cease to be reported in Corporate and Other and will be reported under a new Renewables segment.

The Lubricants and Specialty Products segment involves Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc.'s ("PCLI") production operations, located in Mississauga, Ontario, that include lubricant products such as base oils, white oils, specialty products and finished lubricants and the operations of our Petro-Canada Lubricants business that includes the marketing of products to both retail and wholesale outlets through a global sales network with locations in Canada, the United States, Europe and China. Additionally, the Lubricants and Specialty Products segment includes specialty lubricant products produced at our Tulsa refineries that are marketed throughout North America and are distributed in Central and South America, the operations of Red Giant Oil, one of the largest suppliers of locomotive engine oil in North America and the operations of Sonneborn, a producer of specialty hydrocarbon chemicals such as white oils, petrolatums and waxes with manufacturing facilities in the United States and Europe.

The HEP segment includes all of the operations of HEP, a consolidated variable interest entity, which owns and operates logistics and refinery assets consisting of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines, terminals, tankage, loading rack facilities and refinery processing units in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain geographic regions of the United States. The HEP segment also includes a 75% ownership interest in UNEV Pipeline, LLC (an HEP consolidated subsidiary), and a 50% ownership interest in each of Osage Pipeline Company, LLC, Cheyenne Pipeline LLC and Cushing Connect Pipeline & Terminal LLC. Revenues from the HEP segment are earned through transactions with unaffiliated parties for pipeline transportation, rental and terminalling operations as well as revenues relating to pipeline transportation services provided for our refining operations. Due to certain basis differences, our reported amounts for the HEP segment may not agree to amounts reported in HEP's periodic public filings.

Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

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

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, referred to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income (loss) attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus (i) lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, (ii) gain on sale of real property, (iii) goodwill impairment, (iv) HollyFrontier's pro-rata share of gain on business interruption insurance settlement, (v) long-lived asset impairment, inclusive of pro-rata share of impairment in HEP segment, (vi) HollyFrontier's pro-rata share of HEP's gain on sales-type leases, (vii) HollyFrontier's pro-rata share of HEP's loss on early extinguishment of debt, (viii) severance costs, (ix) restructuring charges, (x) Cheyenne Refinery LIFO inventory liquidation costs, (xi) decommissioning costs, (xii) pre-close acquisition integration costs, (xiii) acquisition integration and regulatory costs and (xiv) gain on tariff settlement.

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

Reconciliations of refinery operating information (non-GAAP performance measures) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.

Refinery gross margin and net operating margin are non-GAAP performance measures that are used by our management and others to compare our refining performance to that of other companies in our industry. We believe these margin measures are helpful to investors in evaluating our refining performance on a relative and absolute basis. Refinery gross margin per produced barrel sold is total refining segment revenues less total refining segment cost of products sold, exclusive of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, divided by sales volumes of produced refined products sold. Net operating margin per barrel sold is the difference between refinery gross margin and refinery operating expenses per produced barrel sold. These two margins do not include the non-cash effects of long-lived asset impairment charges, lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments or depreciation and amortization. Each of these component performance measures can be reconciled directly to our consolidated statements of income. Other companies in our industry may not calculate these performance measures in the same manner.

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

Reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders to adjusted net income (loss) attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes non-cash lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, gain on sale of real property, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, gain on business interruption insurance settlement, HEP's gain on sales-type leases, HEP's loss on early extinguishment of debt, severance costs, restructuring charges, Cheyenne Refinery LIFO inventory liquidation costs, decommissioning costs, pre-close acquisition integration costs, acquisition integration and regulatory costs and gain on tariff settlement. We believe this measure is helpful to investors and others in evaluating our financial performance and to compare our results to that of other companies in our industry. Similarly titled performance measures of other companies may not be calculated in the same manner.

(1)Represents adjustment to GAAP income tax expense to arrive at adjusted income tax expense, which is computed as follows:

Three Months Ended December 31,	Years Ended December 31,
2021	2020	2021	2020
(Dollars in thousands)
Non-GAAP income tax expense (benefit) (2)	$	(20,603)	$	(67,720)	$	40,849	$	(87,723)
Subtract GAAP income tax expense (benefit)	(26,046)	(43,643)	123,898	(232,147)
Non-GAAP adjustment to income tax expense	$	5,443	$	(24,077)	$	(83,049)	$	144,424

(2)Non-GAAP income tax expense (benefit) is computed by a) adjusting HFC's consolidated estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate ("AETR") for GAAP purposes for the effects of the above Non-GAAP adjustments, b) applying the resulting Adjusted Non-GAAP AETR to Non-GAAP adjusted income before income taxes and c) adjusting for discrete tax items applicable to the period.

(3)Adjusted earnings per share - diluted is calculated as adjusted net income (loss) attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders divided by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding assuming dilution, which is based on weighted-average diluted shares outstanding as that used in the GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation. Income allocated to participating securities, if applicable, in the adjusted earnings per share calculation is the same as that used in GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation..
