VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of Presentation
General
AsThe terms “Valero,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” as used in this report, the terms “Valero,” “we,” “us,” or “our”may refer to Valero Energy Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole.


These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S.GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Operating results for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.2019.


The balance sheet as of December 31, 20172018 has been derived from our audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to our financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.


Reclassifications
CertainEffective January 1, 2019, we revised our reportable segments to reflect a new reportable segment — renewable diesel. The renewable diesel segment includes the operations of Diamond Green Diesel Holdings LLC (DGD), our consolidated joint venture as discussed in Note 8, which were transferred from the refining segment. Also effective January 1, 2019, we no longer have a VLP segment, and we now include the operations of Valero Energy Partners LP and its consolidated subsidiaries (VLP) in our refining segment. Our prior period amounts havesegment information has been reclassifiedretrospectively adjusted to conform to the 2018reflect our current segment presentation. See Note 2 regarding our merger with VLP, which occurred on January 10, 2019, and Note 11 for segment information.


Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.


Revenue RecognitionLeases
Background
We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,842, “Leases,” (Topic 606)842) on January 1, 2018,2019, as described below in “Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2018.2019.” Accordingly, our revenue recognitionlease accounting policy has been revised to reflect the adoption of this standard.


Revised Policy
Our revenues are primarily generated from contracts with customers. We generate revenue from contracts with customers from the sale of products by our refining and ethanol segments. Our VLP segment generates intersegment revenues from transportation and terminaling activities provided to our refining segment that are eliminated in consolidation. Revenues are recognized when we satisfy our performance obligation to transfer products to our customers, which typically occurs at a point in time upon shipment or delivery of the products, and for an amount that reflects the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


The customerRevised Policy
We evaluate if a contract is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the productsor contains a lease at the point of shipment or delivery. As a result, we consider control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery because we have a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, we have transferred physical possession of the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

Our contracts with customers state the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price for goods sold. Payment is typically due in full within two to ten days of delivery. In the normal course of business, we generally do not accept product returns.

The transaction price is the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for our products. The transaction price for substantially all of our contracts is generally based on commodity market pricing (i.e., variable consideration). As such, this market pricing may be constrained (i.e., not estimable) at the inception of the contract. If we determine that a contract but will be recognizedis or contains a lease, we recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability at the commencement date of the lease based on the applicable market pricing, which will be known upon transferpresent value of lease payments over the lease term. The present value of the goodslease payments is determined by using the implicit rate when readily determinable, or if not, our incremental borrowing rate for a term similar to the customer. Someduration of ourthe lease based on information available at the commencement date. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options.

We recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leasing arrangements with terms greater than one year. Except for the marine transportation asset class, we account for lease and non-lease components in a contract as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. Our marine transportation contracts also contain variableinclude non-lease components such as maintenance and crew costs. We allocate the consideration in these contracts based on pricing information provided by the formthird-party broker.

Expense for an operating lease is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and reflected in the appropriate income statement line item based on the leased asset’s function. Amortization expense of sales incentives to our customers, such as discountsa finance lease ROU asset is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and rebates. For contracts that include variable consideration, we estimatereflected in “depreciation and amortization expense,” and interest expense is incurred based on the factors that determine the variable consideration in order to establish the transaction price.

We have elected to exclude from the measurementcarrying value of the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed onlease liability and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transactionreflected in “interest and collected by us from a customer (e.g., sales tax, use tax, value-added tax, etc.). We continue to include in the transaction price excise taxes that are imposed on certain inventories in our international operations. The amountdebt expense, net of such taxes is provided in supplemental information in a footnote on the statements of income.capitalized interest.”


There are instances where we provide shipping services in relation to the goods sold to our customer. Shipping and handling costs that occur before the customer obtains control of the goods are deemed to be fulfillment activities and are included in cost of materials and other. We have elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as fulfillment activities rather than as a promised service and we have included these activities in cost of materials and other.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January1, 20182019
Topic 606842
As previously noted, we adopted the provisions of Topic606 842 on January 1, 2018.2019. Topic 606 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and supersedes previous revenue recognition requirements under “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605),” using the modified retrospective method of adoption as permitted by the standard. Under this method, the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, and revenues reported in the periods prior to the date of adoption are not changed.We elected to apply the transition guidance for Topic 606 only to contracts that were not completed as of the date of adoption. There was no material impact to our financial position as a result of adopting Topic 606; therefore, there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January1, 2018. Additionally, there was no material impact to our financial position or results of operations as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. See “Revenue Recognition” above for a discussion of our accounting policy affected by our adoption of Topic 606. Also see Note 11 for further information on

ASU No. 2016-01
In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10),” (ASU No. 2016-01) to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments regarding certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure. Effective January1, 2018, we adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2016-01 using the cumulative-effect method of adoption as required by the ASU. The adoption of this ASU did not affect our financial position or our results of operations as of or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, but it resulted in reduced disclosures as it eliminated the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments.

ASU No. 2017-07
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715),” (ASU No. 2017-07) which requires employers to report the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. It also requires the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost (non-service cost components) to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. Effective January 1, 2018, we retrospectively adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2017-07. The adoption of this ASU did not affect our financial position or results of operations, but did result in the reclassification of non-service cost components from operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) to other income (expense), net. This resulted in an increase of $14 million and $21 million in operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and a decrease of $3 million and $1 million in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

ASU No. 2017-09
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718),” (ASU No. 2017-09) to reduce diversity in practice, as well as reduce cost and complexity regarding a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2017-09. The adoption of this ASU did not have an immediate effect on our financial position or results of operations as it is applied prospectively to an award modified on or after adoption.

ASU No. 2018-02
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220),” (ASU No. 2018-02) which allows for the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Reform) to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The provisions of ASU No. 2018-02 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. This ASU shall be applied either at the beginning of the annual or interim period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the income tax effects of Tax Reform affects the items remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income. We elected to reclassify the stranded income tax effects of Tax Reform from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings as of the beginning of the interim

period of adoption. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2018-02 and such adoption did not affect our financial position or results of operations but resulted in the reclassification of $91 million of income tax benefits related to Tax Reform from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings as presented in Note 6 under “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.” We release stranded income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings on an individual item basis as those items are reclassified into income.

ASU No. 2018-05
In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118,” (ASU No. 2018-05) which amends certain Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) material in Topic 740 for the income tax accounting implications of the recently issued Tax Reform. This guidance clarifies the application of Topic 740 in situations where a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete the accounting under Topic 740 for certain income tax effects of Tax Reform for the reporting period in which Tax Reform was enacted. See Note 9 for a discussion of the impact of this ASU.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Topic 842
In February 2016, the FASB issued “Leases (Topic 842),” (Topic 842) to increase increases the transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted.Topic 842 supersedes previous lease accounting requirements under FASB ASC Topic 840, “Leases,” (Topic 840). We will adopt this new standard on January 1, 2019, and we expect to useadopted Topic 842 using the optional transition method which allowsthat permits us to recognizeapply the new disclosure requirements beginning in 2019 and continue to present comparative period information as required under Topic 840; however, we did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption. We are enhancing

In addition, we elected the transition practical expedient package that permits us to not reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs under the new standard, as well as the practical expedient that permits us to not assess existing land easements under the new standard. See “Leases” above for a discussion of our accounting policy affected by our adoption of Topic 842. Also see Note 4 for information on our leases.

In preparation for the adoption of Topic 842, we enhanced our contracting and lease evaluation systems and related processes, and we are developingdeveloped a new lease accounting system to capture our leases and support the required disclosures. During 2018, we will continue to monitor the adoption process to ensure compliance with accounting and disclosure requirements. We also continue the integration ofintegrated our lease accounting system with our general ledger and we will make modifications to themodified our related procurement and payment processes. We anticipate

Adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial position by increasing our assets and liabilities by equal amounts throughresulted in (i) the recognition of right-of-useROU assets and lease liabilities for our operating leases. However, we do not expect adoptionleases of $1.3 billion, (ii) the derecognition of existing assets under construction of $539 million related to have a material impact on our results of operations or liquidity. We expect our accounting for capital leasesbuild-to-suit lease arrangement with respect to remain substantially unchanged.the MVP Terminal (see Note 6 under “Commitments—MVP

ASU No. 2017-12
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (ASU No. 2017-12) to improve and simplify accounting guidance for hedge accounting. The provisions of this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. We use economic hedges to manage commodity price risk; however, we have not designated these hedges as fair value or cash flow hedges. As a result, the adoption of ASU No. 2017-12 effective January 1, 2019 is not expected to affect our financial position or results of operations.

2.ACQUISITIONMERGER WITH VLP


Peru Acquisition
On May 14, 2018,January 10, 2019, we acquired 100 percentcompleted our acquisition of all of the issuedoutstanding publicly held common units of VLP pursuant to a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement, and together with the transactions contemplated thereby, the Merger Transaction) with VLP. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, each outstanding equity interestspublicly held common unit was converted into the right to receive $42.25 per common unit in Pure Biofuels del Peru S.A.C. (Pure Biofuels) from Pegasus Capital Advisors L.P.cash without any interest thereon, and various minority equity holders (collectively,all such publicly traded common units were automatically canceled and ceased to exist. Upon completion of the sellers). Pure Biofuels markets refined petroleum products through a networkMerger Transaction, we paid aggregate merger consideration of logistics assets throughout Peru. Pure Biofuels owns a terminal at the Port of Callao, near Lima,$950 million, which was funded with approximately 1 million barrels of storage capacity for refined petroleum and renewable products. Through one of its subsidiaries, Pure Biofuels also owns a 180,000-barrel storage terminal in Paita, in northern Peru, which is scheduled to commence operations later in 2018. We paid $471 million from available cash on hand, of which $122 million was for working capital. The amount paid for working capital is subjecthand.

Prior to adjustment pending the final working capital settlement that is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2018. This acquisition, which is referred to as the Peru Acquisition, is consistent with our general business strategy and broadens the geographic diversity of our refining and marketing network.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, which are preliminary and subject to change after the completion of an independent appraisalthe Merger Transaction, we consolidated the financial statements of VLP (see Note 8) and other evaluations (in millions).

Current liabilities, excluding current portion of debt(25)
Debt assumed, including current portion(137)
Deferred income tax liabilities(81)
Other long-term liabilities(21)
Total consideration, net of cash acquired$471

Deferred charges and other assets primarily include identifiable intangible assetsreflected noncontrolling interests on our balance sheet for the portion of $210 million and goodwill of $228 million. Identifiable intangible assets, which consist of customer contracts and relationships, are expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years. Goodwill is calculated as the excessVLP’s partners’ capital held by VLP’s public common unitholders. Upon completion of the consideration transferred overMerger Transaction, VLP became our indirect wholly owned subsidiary and, as a result, we no longer reflect noncontrolling interests on our balance sheet with respect to VLP. In addition, we no longer attribute a portion of VLP’s net income to noncontrolling interests. Because we had a controlling financial interest in VLP before the estimated fair valuesMerger Transaction and retained our controlling financial interest in VLP after the Merger Transaction, the change in our ownership interest in VLP as a result of the underlying tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill represents the future economic benefits expected to be recognized from our expansion into the South American refined petroleum products market arising from other assets acquired that were not individually identified and separately recognized. We determined that the entire balance of goodwill is related to the refining segment. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductiblemerger was accounted for tax purposes.

The Peru Acquisition purchase agreement provides for a potential earn-out payment based on Pure Biofuels’ earnings for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, or if certain events occur, for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. The sellers are entitled to receive the contingent earn-out payments if certain financial metrics are achieved by Pure Biofuels. As of June 30, 2018,as an equity transaction. Accordingly, we did not recordrecognize a contingent liability with respect to this earn-out agreement basedgain or loss on our preliminary estimate of its fair value.the Merger Transaction.

Gross proceeds from this debt issuance were $749 million before deducting the underwriting discount and other debt issuance costs totaling $7 million. The proceeds were used to redeem our 9.375 percent Senior Notes due March 15, 2019 (9.375 percent Senior Notes) for $787 million, which includes an early redemption fee of $37 million that was charged to other income (expense), net.

Gross proceeds from this debt issuance were $498 million before deducting the underwriting discount and other debt issuance costs totaling $5 million. The proceeds are available only to the operations of VLP and were used to repay the outstanding balance of $410 million on VLP’s $750 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the VLP Revolver) and $85 million of its notes payable to us, which is eliminated in consolidation.

Central Mexico Terminals, which is the name used by us to refer to one of our consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs) and which is further described and defined in Note 7,have entered into long-term leasing arrangements for the right to use various classes of underlying assets as follows:

Pipelines, Terminals, and Tanks includes facilities and equipment used in the storage, transportation, production, and sale of refinery feedstock, refined petroleum product, and corn inventories;
Marine Transportation includes time charters for ocean-going tankers and coastal vessels;
Rail Transportation includes railcars and related storage facilities;
Feedstock Processing Equipment includes machinery, equipment, and various facilities used in our refining, ethanol, and renewable diesel operations;
Energy and Gases includes facilities and equipment related to industrial gases and power used in our operations; and
Real Estate includes land and rights-of-way associated with our refineries and pipelines, as well as office facilities.

In addition to fixed lease payments, some arrangements contain provisions for variable lease payments. Certain leases for pipelines, terminals, and tanks provide for variable lease payments based on, among other things, throughput volumes in excess of a combined $340 million unsecured revolving credit facility (IEnova Revolver) with IEnova (definedbase amount. Certain marine transportation leases contain provisions for payments that are contingent on usage. Additionally, if the rental increases are not scheduled in Note 7). Central Mexico Terminals borrowed $56 million and had no repayments under the IEnova Revolver.lease, such as an increase based on subsequent changes in the index or rate, those rents are considered variable lease payments. In all instances, variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

5.6.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Commitments
MVP Terminal
We have a 50 percent membership interest in MVP Terminalling, LLC (MVP), a Delaware limited liability company formed in September 2017 with a subsidiary of Magellan Midstream Partners LP (Magellan), to construct, own, and operate the Magellan Valero Pasadena marine terminal (MVP Terminal) located adjacent to the Houston Ship Channel in Pasadena, Texas. Construction of phases one and two of the project began in 2017 with a total estimated cost of approximately $840 million, of which we have committed to contribute 50 percent (approximately $420 million). The project could expand up to four phases with a total project cost of approximately $1.4 billion if warranted by additional demand and agreed to by Magellan and us. Since inception, we have contributed $185$303 million to MVP, of which $104$56 million was contributed during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.


Concurrent with the formation of MVP, we entered into a terminaling agreement with MVP to utilize the MVP Terminal upon completion of phase two, which is expected to occur in early 2020.late 2019. The terminaling agreement has an initial term of 12 years with two five-year automatic renewals, and year-to-year renewals thereafter.


DuePrior to our adoption of Topic 842 as described in Note 1, we were considered the accounting owner of the MVP Terminal during the construction period due to our membership interest in MVP and because we determined that the terminaling agreement was a capital lease, we are the accounting owner of the MVP Terminal during the construction period.lease. Accordingly, as of June 30,December 31, 2018, we had recorded an asset of $370$539 million in property, plant, and equipment representing 100 percent of the construction costs incurred by MVP, as well as capitalized interest incurred by us, and a long-term liability of $186$292 million payable to Magellan. The amounts recorded for the portion of the construction costs associated with the payable to Magellan were noncash investing and financing items, respectively.

On January 1, 2019, as a result of our adoption of Topic 842, we derecognized the asset and liability related to MVP discussed above and recorded our equity investment in MVP of $247 million, which is included in “deferred charges and other assets, net.” The amounts derecognized are noncash investing and financing items, respectively.As of March 31, 2019, our equity investment in MVP was $303 million.


Central Texas Pipeline
We have committed to a 40 percent undivided interest in a project with a subsidiary of Magellan to jointly build an estimated 135-mile,130-mile, 20-inch refined petroleum products pipeline with a capacity of up to 150,000 barrels per day from Houston to Hearne, Texas. The pipeline is expected to be completed in mid-2019.the third quarter of 2019. The estimated cost of our 40 percent undivided interest in this pipeline is $170 million. Since inception, capital expenditures have totaled $49$81 million, of which $42$1 million was spent during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019.

Sunrise Pipeline System
Effective January 31, 2018, we entered into a joint ownership agreement with Sunrise Pipeline LLC, a subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Plains), that provides us a 20 percent undivided interest in the Sunrise Pipeline System expansion to be constructed by Plains. The Sunrise Pipeline System is expected to contain (i) an estimated 255-mile, 24-inch crude oil pipeline (the Sunrise Pipeline) that originates at Plains’ terminal in Midland, Texas and ends at Plains’ station in Wichita Falls, Texas with throughput capacity of approximately 500,000 barrels per day, and (ii) two 270,000 shell barrel capacity tanks located at the Colorado City, Texas station. The Sunrise Pipeline System expansion is currently under construction and is expected to be placed in service in 2019. The estimated cost of our 20 percent undivided interest in the Sunrise Pipeline System is $135 million. Capital expenditures totaled $103 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Environmental Matters
We are involved, together with several other companies, in an environmental cleanup in the Village of Hartford, Illinois (the Village) and during 2015, one of these companies assumed the ongoing environmental cleanup in the Village pursuant to a federal court order. We had previously conducted an initial response in the Village, along with other companies, pursuant to an administrative order issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The parties involved in the initial response may have further claims among themselves for costs already incurred.

We also continue to be engaged in site assessment and interim measures at our shutdown refinery site, which is adjacent to the Village. During the second quarter of 2018, we entered into a consent order with the Illinois EPA that we anticipate will be approved by the state court. In the consent order, we have assumed the underlying liability for full cleanup of our shutdown refinery site. As a result, we recorded an adjustment to our existing environmental liability related to this matter, which did not materially affect our financial position or results of operations as of or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. We continue to seek contribution under Illinois law in state court and are pursuing claims under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act in federal court from other potentially responsible parties. Factors underlying the expected cost of the cleanup are subject to change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.

Litigation Matters
We are party to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We have not recorded a loss contingency liability with respect to some of these matters because we have determined that it is remote that a loss has been incurred. For other matters, we have recorded a loss contingency liability where we have determined that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and that the loss is reasonably estimable. These loss contingency liabilities are not material to our financial position. We re-evaluate and update our loss contingency liabilities as matters progress over time, and we believe that any changes to the recorded liabilities will not be material to our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Texas City Refinery Fire
In April 2018, our Texas City Refinery experienced a fire in its alkylation unit. The costs to respond to and assess the damage caused by the fire are included in other operating expenses in the statements of income. This incident did not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

____________________
(a)
Prior to the completion of the Merger Transaction with VLP on January 10, 2019 as discussed in Note 2, VLP was a publicly traded master limited partnership that we had determined was a VIE. VLP was formed by us to own, operate, develop, and acquire crude oil and refined petroleum products pipelines, terminals, and other transportation and logistics assets. As of December 31, 2018, we owned a 66.2 percent limited partner interest and a 2.0 percent general partner interest in VLP, and public unitholders owned a 31.8 percent limited partner interest. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, VLP became our indirect wholly owned subsidiary and, as a result, was no longer a VIE.

Non-Consolidated VIEs
We hold variable interests in VIEs that have not been consolidated because we are not considered the primary beneficiary. These non-consolidated VIEs are not material to our financial position or results of operations and are primarily accounted for as equity investments. MVP is oneOne of our non-consolidated VIEs and is accounted for under owner accounting asMVP, which is described in Note 5.6. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, our maximum exposure to loss was $185$303 million, which represents our equity investment in MVP. We have not provided any financial support to MVP other than amounts previously required by our membership interest.

9.INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, Tax Reform was enacted, which resulted in significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and was effective beginning on January 1, 2018. Tax Reform introduced significant and complex changes to the Code, and regulatory guidance from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is needed in order to properly account for many of the changes. In response, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, “Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” that was codified through the issuance of ASU No. 2018-05 as described in Note 1, which requires that the effects of Tax Reform be recorded for items where the accounting is complete, as well as for items where a reasonable estimate can be made (referred to as provisional amounts). For items where reasonable estimates cannot be made, provisional amounts should not be recorded and those items should continue to be accounted for under the Code prior to changes from Tax Reform until a reasonable estimate can be made.

We recorded the effects of Tax Reform for the year ended December 31, 2017 in accordance with ASU No. 2018-05, which included provisional amounts associated with the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of previously undistributed accumulated earnings and profits of our international subsidiaries. We also identified items where reasonable estimates could not be made at that time.

We did not revise our initial provisional estimate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and we have not completed our accounting for the income tax effects of Tax Reform. We continue to gather additional information in order to revise our initial estimates and await regulatory guidance from the IRS. We anticipate this information and guidance will be available in the second half of 2018 and that any adjustments will be recorded at that time.

Accordingly, we created a new reportable segment — renewable diesel — because of the growing importance of renewable fuels in the market and the growth of our investments in renewable fuels production. The renewable diesel segment includes the operations of DGD, which were transferred from the refining segment on January 1, 2019. Also effective January 1, 2019, we no longer have a VLP segment, and we include the operations of VLP in our refining segment. This change was made because of the Merger Transaction with VLP, as described in Note 2, and the resulting change in how we manage VLP’s operations. We no longer manage VLP as a business but as logistics assets that support the operations of our refining segment. Our prior period segment information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect our current segment presentation.

We have three reportable segments – refining, ethanol, and VLP.renewable diesel. Each segment is a strategic business unit that offers different products and services by employing unique technologies and marketing strategies and whose operations and operating performance are managed and evaluated separately. Operating performance is measured based on the operating income generated by the segment, which includes revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to the management of the respective segment. Intersegment sales are generally derived from transactions made at prevailing market rates. The following is a description of each segment’s business operations.


The refining segment includes the operations of our 15 petroleum refineries, the associated marketing activities, and logistics assets that support our refining operations. The principal products manufactured by our refineries and sold by this segment include gasolines and blendstocks, distillates, and other products.
The ethanol segment includes the operations of our 14 ethanol plants, the associated marketing activities, and logistics assets that support our ethanol operations. The principal products manufactured by our ethanol plants are ethanol and distillers grains. This segment sells some ethanol to the refining segment for blending into gasoline, which is sold to that segment’s customers as a finished gasoline product.

The refining segment includes the operations

Table of our 15 petroleum refineries, the associated marketing activities, and certain logistics assets that support our refining operations that are not owned by VLP. The principal products manufactured by our refineries and sold by this segment include gasolines and blendstocks (e.g., conventional gasolines, premium gasolines, and gasoline meeting the specifications of the California Air Resources Board (CARB)), distillates (e.g., diesel, low-sulfur diesel, ultra-low-sulfur diesel, CARB diesel, jet fuel, and other distillates), and other products (e.g., asphalt, petrochemicals, lubricants, and other refined petroleum products).Contents

The renewable diesel segment includes the operations of DGD, our consolidated joint venture as discussed in Note 8. The principal product manufactured by DGD and sold by this segment is renewable diesel. This segment sells some renewable diesel to the refining segment, which is then sold to that segment’s customers.
The ethanol segment includes the operations of our 11 ethanol plants, the associated marketing activities, and logistics assets that support our ethanol operations. The principal products manufactured by our ethanol plants are ethanol and distillers grains. We sell some ethanol to our refining segment for blending into gasoline, which is sold to that segment’s customers as a finished gasoline product.
The VLP segment includes the results of VLP. VLP generates revenue from transportation and terminaling activities provided to our refining segment. All of VLP’s revenues are intersegment revenues that are generated under commercial agreements with our refining segment. Revenues generated under these agreements are eliminated in consolidation.


Operations that are not included in any of the reportable segments are included in the corporate category.

A description of our assets and liabilities recognized at fair value along with the valuation methods and inputs we used to develop their fair value measurements are as follows:


Commodity derivative contracts consist primarily of exchange-traded futures, which are used to reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows as discussed in Note 14. These contracts are measured at fair value using the market approach. Exchange-traded futures are valued based on quoted prices from the commodity exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Commodity derivative contracts consist primarily of exchange-traded futures and swaps. These contracts are measured at fair value using the market approach. Exchange-traded futures are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Swaps are priced using third-party broker quotes, industry pricing services, and exchange-traded curves, with appropriate consideration of counterparty credit risk, but because they have contractual terms that are not identical to exchange-traded futures instruments with a comparable market price, these financial instruments are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.


Physical purchase contracts represent the fair value of fixed-price corn purchase contracts. The fair values of these purchase contracts are measured using a market approach based on quoted prices from the commodity exchange or an independent pricing service and are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.


Investments of certain benefit plans consist of investment securities held by trusts for the purpose of satisfying a portion of our obligations under certain U.S. nonqualified benefit plans. The plan assets categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from national securities exchanges. The plan assets categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy represent insurance contracts, the fair value of which is provided by the insurer.

Foreign currency contracts consist of foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts entered into forand foreign currency swap agreements related to our international operations to manage our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than the local (functional) currencies of thoseour operations. These contracts are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.


Environmental credit obligations represent our liability for the purchase of (i) biofuel credits (primarily Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) in the U.S.) needed to satisfy our obligation to blend biofuels into the products we produce and (ii) emission credits under the California Global Warming Solutions Act (the California cap-and-trade system, also known as AB 32) and similar programs (collectively, the cap-and-trade systems). To the degree we are unable to blend biofuels (such as ethanol and biodiesel) at percentages required under the biofuel programs, we must purchase biofuel credits to comply with these programs. Under the cap-and-trade systems, we must purchase emission credits to comply with these systems. The liability for environmental credits is based on our deficit for such credits as of the balance sheet date, if any, after considering any credits acquired or under contract, and is equal to the product of the credits deficit and the market price of these credits as of the balance sheet date. The environmental credit obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using the market approach based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.

14.PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES


General
We are exposed to market risks primarily related to the volatility in the price of commodities, and foreign currency exchange rates, and the price of credits needed to comply with various government and regulatory programs. We enter into derivative instruments to manage some of these risks, including derivative instruments related to the various commodities we purchase or produce, and foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts, as described below under “Risk Management Activities by Type of Risk.” These derivative instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values (see Note 13)13), as summarized below under “Fair Values of Derivative Instruments,” with changes in fair value recognized currently in income. The effect of these derivative instruments on our income is summarized below under “Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income.”


Risk Management Activities by Type of Risk
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of crude oil, refined petroleum products (primarily gasoline and distillate), grain (primarily corn), soybean oil, and natural gas used in our operations. To reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows, we use commodity derivative instruments, includingsuch as futures swaps, and options. We use the futures markets for the available liquidity, which provides greater flexibility in transacting our hedging and trading operations. We use swaps primarily to manage our price exposure. Our positions in commodity derivative instruments are monitored and managed on a daily basis by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy that has been approved by our board of directors.


To manageWe primarily use commodity price risk, we usederivative instruments as economic hedges, which are not designated as fair value or cash flow hedges,hedging instruments, and we use fair value and cash flow hedges from time to time. We also enter into certainhad no commodity derivative instruments for trading purposes. outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, and no activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 that were designated as fair value or cash flow hedges.

Our objectives for entering into hedges or trading derivatives are described below.

Economic Hedges – Economic hedges represent commodity derivative instruments that are used to manage price volatility in certain (i) feedstock and refined petroleum product inventories, (ii) fixed-price purchase contracts, and (iii) forecasted feedstock, refined petroleum product or natural gas purchases and refined petroleum product sales. The objectives of ourholding economic hedges are to hedge(i) manage price volatility in certain feedstock and refined petroleum product inventories and tofixed-price purchase contracts, and (ii) lock in the price of forecasted feedstock, refined petroleum product, or natural gas purchases orand refined petroleum product sales at existing market prices that we deem favorable. Economic hedges are not designated as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, usually due to the difficulty of establishing the required documentation at the date the derivative instrument is entered into for them to qualify as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.

We had no commodity derivative contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2018 and 2017 or during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 that were designated as fair value or cash flow hedges.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions entered into byrelated to our international operations that are denominated in currencies other than the local (functional) currencies of thoseour operations. To manage our exposure to these exchange rate fluctuations, we use foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and therefore are classified as economic hedges. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we had forwardforeign currency contracts to purchase $487$418 million of U.S. dollars. Alldollars, $1.7 billion of U.S. dollar equivalent Canadian dollars, and $300 million of U.S. dollar equivalent pounds sterling. The majority of these commitments matured on or before July 31, 2018.April 30, 2019.


Environmental Compliance Program Price Risk
We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. To manage this risk, we enter into contracts to purchase these credits when prices are deemed favorable. Some of these contracts are derivative instruments; however, we elect the normal purchase exception and do not record these contracts at their fair values. Certain of these programs require us to blend biofuels into the products we produce, and we are subject to such programs in most of the countries in which we operate. These countries set annual quotas for the percentage of biofuels that must be blended into the motor fuels consumed in these countries. As a producer of motor fuels from petroleum, we are obligated to blend biofuels into the products we produce at a rate that is at least equal to the applicable quota. To the degree we are unable to blend at the applicable rate, we must purchase biofuel credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.). We are exposed to the volatility in the market price of these credits, and we manage that risk by purchasing biofuel credits when prices are deemed favorable. The cost of meeting our obligations under these compliance programs was $91 million and $206 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These amounts are reflected in cost of materials and other.

favorable. The cost of meeting our obligations under these compliance programs was $131 million and $255 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $337 million and $401 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These amounts are reflected in cost of materials and other.

We are subject to additional requirements under greenhouse gas (GHG) emission programs, including the cap-and-trade systems, as discussed in Note 13. Under these cap-and-trade systems, we purchase various GHG emission credits available on the open market. Therefore, we are exposed to the volatility in the market price of these credits. The cost to implement certain provisions of the cap-and-trade systems are significant; however, we recovered the majority of these costs from our customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and expect to continue to recover the majority of these costs in the future. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the net cost of meeting our obligations under these compliance programs was immaterial.


Fair Values of Derivative Instruments
The following tables provide information about the fair values of our derivative instruments as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20172018 (in millions) and the line items in the balance sheets in which the fair values are reflected. See Note 13 for additional information related to the fair values of our derivative instruments.


As indicated in Note 13, we net fair value amounts recognized for multiple similar derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements, including cash collateral assets and obligations.

Market Risk
Our price risk management activities involve the receipt or payment of fixed price commitments into the future. These transactions give rise to market risk, which is the risk that future changes in market conditions may make an instrument less valuable. We closely monitor and manage our exposure to market risk on a daily basis in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. Market risks are monitored by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy. We do not require any collateral or other security to support derivative instruments into which we enter. We also do not have any derivative instruments that require us to maintain a minimum investment-grade credit rating.

rulings, judgments, or settlements in litigation or other legal or regulatory matters, including unexpected environmental remediation costs, in excess of any reserves or insurance coverage;
legislative or regulatory action, including the introduction or enactment of legislation or rulemakings by governmental authorities, including tariffs and tax and environmental regulations, such as those implemented under the California cap-and-trade system (also known as AB 32), the Quebec cap-and-trade system, the Ontario cap-and-trade system, and similar programs, and the U.S. EPA’s regulation of GHGs, which may adversely affect our business or operations;
changes in the credit ratings assigned to our debt securities and trade credit;
changes in currency exchange rates, including the value of the Canadian dollar, the pound sterling, the euro, the Mexican peso, and the Peruvian sol relative to the U.S. dollar;
overall economic conditions, including the stability and liquidity of financial markets; and
other factors generally described in the “Risk Factors” section included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 that is incorporated by reference herein.


Any one of these factors, or a combination of these factors, could materially affect our future results of operations and whether any forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be accurate. Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results and future performance may differ materially from those suggested in any forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update these statements unless we are required by the securities laws to do so.


All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to any such forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.


This Form 10-Q includes references to financial measures that are not defined under U.S.GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted net income attributable to Valero stockholders, refining and ethanol segment margin, and adjusted operating income.income (including adjusted operating income for each of our reportable segments, as applicable), and refining, ethanol, and renewable diesel segment margin. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures to help facilitate the comparison of operating results between periods.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK


Overview
Second Quarter Results
For the secondfirst quarter of 2018,2019, we reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $845$141 million compared to $548$469 million for the secondfirst quarter of 2017,2018, which represents a decrease of $328 million. This decrease is primarily due to a $415 million decrease in net income, partially offset by an increase of $297 million. Excluding the adjustments to$87 million decrease in net income attributable to Valero stockholders reflectednoncontrolling interests. The decrease in the table on page 40, adjusted net income attributable to Valero stockholders was $928 million for the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $380 million compared to the second quarter of 2017. This increasenoncontrolling interests is primarily due to higherthe recognition of a blender’s tax credit in the first quarter of 2018 of which $80 million is attributable to the holder of the noncontrolling interest, as described in note (a) to the accompanying tables. The decrease in net income was primarily driven by a decrease in operating income between the periods, net of the resulting increasedecrease in income tax expense.expense, as described below.


Operating income was $1.3 billion for the secondfirst quarter of 2019 was $308 million compared to $801 million for the first quarter of 2018, compared to $860 million for the second quarter of 2017, which represents an increasea decrease of $393$493 million. Excluding the adjustments to operating income reflected in the tabletables on page 40,47, adjusted operating income fordecreased $383 million in the secondfirst quarter of 2018 was $1.3 billion, an increase of $470 million2019 compared to the secondfirst quarter of 2017.2018.


The $470$383 million increasedecrease in adjusted operating income is primarily due to the following:


Refining segment. Refining segment adjusted operating income decreased by $330 million primarily due to lower gasoline margins, partially offset by higher crude oil discounts and lower cost of biofuel credits. This is more fully described on pages 53 through 55.

Ethanol segment. Ethanol segment operating income decreased by $42 million primarily due to lower ethanol prices coupled with higher corn prices. This is more fully described on pages 55 and 56.
Refining segment. Refining segment adjusted operating income increased by $463 million primarily due to improved distillate margins and stronger crude oil discounts, partially offset by lower gasoline margins and lower throughput volumes. This is more fully described on pages 44 through 46.
Renewable diesel segment. Renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income increased by $14 million primarily due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by hedge losses on commodity derivative instruments associated with our price risk management activities and lower co-product prices. This is more fully described on page 56.

Corporate and eliminations. Adjusted corporate and eliminations increased by $25 million primarily due to expenses in the first quarter of 2019 associated with the Merger Transaction with VLP, an increase in legal reserves, and higher employee related expenses. This is more fully described on page 57.

Ethanol segment. Ethanol segment operating income increased by $12 million primarily due to higher corn related co-product prices, partially offset by lower ethanol prices. This is more fully described on page 46.

VLP segment. VLP segment operating income increased by $12 million primarily due to incremental revenues, partially offset by higher cost of sales, generated from transportation and terminaling activities associated with a terminal and a product pipeline system acquired by VLP in November 2017 that were formerly a part of the refining segment. This is more fully described on page 47.

Corporate and eliminations. Adjusted corporate and eliminations increased by $17 million primarily due to an increase in employee related expenses. This is more fully described on page 47.

First Six Months Results
For the first six months of 2018, we reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $1.3 billion compared to $853 million for the first six months of 2017, which represents an increase of $461 million. Excluding the adjustments to net income attributable to Valero stockholders reflected in the table on page 50, adjusted net income attributable to Valero stockholders was $1.4 billion for the first six months of 2018, an increase of $506 million compared to the first six months of 2017. This increase is primarily due to higher operating income between the periods, net of the resulting increase in income tax expense.

Operating income was $2.1 billion for the first six months of 2018 compared to $1.4 billion for the first six months of 2017, which represents an increase of $666 million. Excluding the adjustments to operating income



36


Table of Contents

reflected in the table on page 50, adjusted operating income for the first six months of 2018 was $2.0 billion, an increase of $635 million compared to the first six months of 2017.

The $635 million increase in adjusted operating incomeis primarily due to the following:

Refining segment. Refining segment adjusted operating income increased by $585 million primarily due to improved distillate margins and stronger discounts on crude oils and other feedstocks, partially offset by lower gasoline and other products margins. This is more fully described on pages 56 through 58.

Ethanol segment. Ethanol segment operating income increased by $35 million primarily due to higher corn related co-product prices, partially offset by lower ethanol prices. This is more fully described on pages 58 and 59.

VLP segment. VLP segment operating income increased by $26 million primarily due to incremental revenues, partially offset by higher cost of sales, generated from transportation and terminaling activities associated with a terminal and a product pipeline system acquired by VLP in November 2017 that were formerly a part of the refining segment. This is more fully described on page 59.

Corporate and eliminations. Adjusted corporate and eliminations increased by $11 million primarily due to an increase in employee related expenses. This is more fully described on page 59.


Outlook
Below are several factors that have impacted or may impact our results of operations during the thirdsecond quarter of 2018:2019:


Refined productGasoline margins are expected to improve as demand strengthens with the upcoming summer driving season. Distillate margins are expected to remain near current levels as domestic and export demand remains strong.levels.


Medium and heavy sour crude oil discounts are expected to remain weaker than their five-year averages as supplies of sour crude oils available in the market remain suppressed.

Table of Contents

Sweet crude oil discounts are expected to remain near current levelsnarrow slightly as U.S. Gulf Coast refiners increase sweet crude oil consumption to offset the loss of medium and heavy sour crude oil supply while export demand for sweet crude oil remains strongstrong. Inland sweet crude oil differentials are expected to remain wide with higher production and increased supplies fromlimited pipeline capacity to transport crude oil out of the Permian Basin are delivered into U.S. Gulf Coast markets.and other producing regions; however, these differentials will likely experience increased volatility as the announced start-up or potential delay of new pipeline capacity influences short-term market dynamics.


Ethanol margins are expected to improve as domestic gasoline demand strengthens.

Renewable diesel margins are expected to remain nearconsistent with current levels.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following tables highlight our results of operations, our operating performance, and market reference prices that directly impact our operations. In addition, these tables include financial measures that are not defined under U.S. GAAP and represent non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and include adjusted net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders, adjusted operating income (including adjusted operating income for each of our reportable segments, as applicable), and refining, ethanol, and ethanolrenewable diesel segment margin. In note (g)(c) to these tables, we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information.


Effective January 1, 2019, we revised our reportable segments to align with certain changes in how our chief operating decision maker manages and allocates resources to our business. Accordingly, we created a new reportable segment — renewable diesel — because of the growing importance of renewable fuels in the market and the growth of our investments in renewable fuels production. The renewable diesel segment includes the operations of DGD, which were transferred from the refining segment on January 1, 2019. Also effective January 1, 2019, we no longer have a VLP segment, and we include the operations of VLP in our refining segment. This change was made because of the Merger Transaction with VLP, as described in Note 2 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and the resulting change in how we manage VLP’s operations. We no longer manage VLP as a business but as logistics assets that support the operations of our refining segment. Our prior period segment information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect our current segment presentation.

Table of Contents

Total Company, Corporate, and Other
Revenues increased $8.8 billion in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to increases in refined petroleum product prices associated with our refining segment. This improvement in revenues was partially offset by higher cost of sales and general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) between the periods, resulting in an increase in operating income of $393 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017.

Excluding the adjustments to operating income for the second quarter of 2018 reflected in the table on page 40, adjusted operating income was $1.3 billion for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $860 million for the second quarter of 2017. Details regarding the $470 million increase in adjusted operating income between the periods are discussed by segment below.

Other income (expense), net decreased $32 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to a $38 million charge from the early redemption of debt, as more fully described in note (e) to the accompanying tables (see page 54), partially offset by higher equity in earnings associated with our Diamond Pipeline joint venture.

Income tax expense increased $53 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily as a result of higher income before income tax expense, partially offset by a decrease in our effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate was 22 percent for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 26 percent for the second quarter of 2017. The lower effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2018 is primarily due to the reduction in the U.S. statutory income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018 as a result of Tax Reform, which is more fully described in Note 9 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Refining Segment Results
Refining segment revenues increased $8.7 billion in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to increases in refined petroleum product prices. This improvement in refining segment revenues was partially offset by higher cost of sales between the periods, resulting in an increase in refining segment operating income of $442 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017.

Excluding the adjustments to refining segment operating income from the second quarter of 2018 reflected in the table on page 40, adjusted refining segment operating income was $1.4 billion for the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $463 million compared to the second quarter of 2017. This increase is primarily due to higher refining segment margin, as outlined below.

Refining segment margin, as defined in note (g) to the accompanying tables (see page 54), increased $470 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to the following:

Increase in distillate margins. We experienced improved distillate margins throughout all of our regions during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. For example, the Brent-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. Gulf Coast ultra-low-sulfur diesel was $13.46 per barrel for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $10.99 per barrel for the second quarter of 2017, representing a favorable increase of $2.47 per barrel. Another example is the WTI-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. Mid-Continent ultra-low-sulfur diesel which was $22.02 per barrel for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $14.60 per barrel for the second quarter of 2017, representing a favorable increase of $7.42 per barrel. We estimate that the increase in distillate



44


Table of Contents

margins per barrel in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 had a favorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $413 million.

Higher discounts on crude oils. The market prices for refined petroleum products generally track the price of Brent crude oil, which is a benchmark crude oil, and we benefit when we process crude oils that are priced at a discount to Brent crude oil. We benefitted from processing these types of crude oils during the second quarter of 2018 and that benefit improved compared to the second quarter of 2017. For example, Maya crude oil, a sour crude oil processed in our U.S. Gulf Coast region, sold at a discount to Brent crude oil of $12.90 per barrel for the second quarter of 2018 compared to a discount of $7.03 per barrel for the second quarter of 2017, representing a favorable increase of $5.87 per barrel. Another example is WTI crude oil, a light sweet crude oil processed in our U.S. Mid-Continent region, which sold at a discount of $6.93 per barrel for the second quarter of 2018 compared to a discount of $2.67 per barrel for the second quarter of 2017, representing a favorable increase of $4.26 per barrel. We estimate that the increase in the discounts for the crude oils we processed during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 had a favorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $325 million.

Higher discounts on other feedstocks. In addition to crude oil, we utilize other feedstocks, such as natural gas and residuals, in certain of our refining processes. We benefit when we process these other feedstocks that are priced at a discount to Brent crude oil. We benefitted from processing these types of feedstocks during the second quarter of 2018 and that benefit improved compared to the second quarter of 2017. We estimate that the increase in the discounts for the other feedstocks we processed during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 had a favorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $181 million.

Lower costs of biofuel credits. As more fully described in Note 14 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we must purchase biofuel credits in order to meet our biofuel blending obligation under various government and regulatory compliance programs, and the cost of these credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.) decreased by $124 million to $131 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $255 million for the second quarter of 2017.

Decrease in other products margins. We experienced a decrease in the margins of other products (such as petroleum coke and sulfur) relative to Brent crude oil during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 due to an increase in the cost of crude oils between the periods. Because the market prices for our other products remain relatively stable, our margins decline when the cost of crude oils that we process increases. For example, the benchmark price of Brent crude oil was $74.93 per barrel for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $50.91 per barrel for the second quarter of 2017, representing an unfavorable increase of $24.02 per barrel. We estimate that the decrease in other products margins in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $259 million.

Decrease in gasoline margins. We experienced a decrease in gasoline margins during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. For example, the Brent-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. Gulf Coast CBOB gasoline was $7.47 per barrel for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $10.38 per barrel for the second quarter of 2017, representing an unfavorable decrease of $2.91 per barrel. Another example is the ANS-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. West Coast CARBOB 87 gasoline which was $18.36 per barrel for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $23.01 per barrel for the second quarter of 2017, representing an unfavorable decrease



45


Table of Contents

of $4.65 per barrel. We estimate that the decrease in gasoline margins per barrel in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $133 million.

Lower throughput volumes. Refining throughput volumes decreased by 121,000 BPD in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to maintenance in the U.S. Gulf Coast and North Atlantic regions. We estimate that the decrease in refining throughput volumes had a negative impact on our refining segment margin of approximately $119 million.

Increase in charges from VLP. Charges from the VLP segment for transportation and terminaling services increased $25 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to additional services provided by a terminal and a product pipeline system acquired by VLP in November 2017 that were formerly a part of the refining segment. The increase in charges from the VLP segment is more fully discussed in the VLP segment analysis below.

Ethanol Segment Results
Ethanol segment revenues increased $59 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to increases in corn related co-product prices. This improvement in ethanol segment revenues was partially offset by higher cost of sales between the periods, resulting in an increase in ethanol segment operating income of $12 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. This increase is primarily due to higher ethanol segment margins, as outlined below.

Ethanol segment margin, as defined in note (g) to the accompanying tables (see page 54), increased $15 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to the following:

Higher co-product prices. An increase in export demand for corn related co-products, primarily distillers grains, had a favorable effect on the prices we received. We estimate that the increase in corn related co-product prices had a favorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of approximately $41 million.

Higher production volumes. Ethanol segment margin was favorably impacted by increased production volumes of 227,000 gallons per day in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to reliability improvements. We estimate that the increase in production volumes had a favorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of approximately $9 million.

Lower ethanol prices. Ethanol prices were lower in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to a decrease in both export and domestic demand. For example, the New York Harbor ethanol price was $1.56 per gallon for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $1.59 per gallon for the second quarter of 2017, representing an unfavorable decrease of $0.03 per gallon. We estimate that the decrease in the price of ethanol had an unfavorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of approximately $25 million.

Higher corn prices. Corn prices were higher in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. For example, the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) corn price was $3.83 per bushel for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $3.68 per bushel for the second quarter of 2017, representing an unfavorable increase of $0.15 per bushel. We estimate that the increase in the price of corn had an unfavorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of approximately $10 million.

VLP Segment Results
VLP segment revenues increased $25 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to incremental revenues generated from transportation and terminaling services associated with assets acquired by VLP in November 2017 that were formerly a part of the refining segment. This increase in VLP segment revenues was partially offset by increases in other components of cost of sales, resulting in an increase in VLP segment operating income of $12 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. The components of this increase, along with the reasons for the changes in these components, are discussed below.

VLP segment revenues increased $25 million in the second quarter of 2018, as previously noted, primarily due to incremental transportation and terminaling revenues from the Port Arthur terminal and Parkway pipeline, which VLP acquired from Valero in November 2017. The incremental revenues generated by these assets had a favorable impact to VLP segment revenues of $22 million.

VLP segment cost of sales increased $13 million primarily due to the costs to operate the Port Arthur terminal and the Parkway pipeline and depreciation expense associated with these assets. VLP acquired these assets in November 2017.

Corporate and Eliminations
Corporate and eliminations, which consists primarily of general and administrative expenses and related depreciation and amortization expense, increased by $73 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. Excluding the environmental reserve adjustment of $56 million for the second quarter of 2018 reflected in the table on page 40, adjusted corporate and eliminations increased by $17 million primarily due to an increase in employee-related expenses.

The following notes relate to references on pages3845 through 42 and 48 through 52.49.
(a)
Cost of materials and other for the sixthree months ended June 30,March31, 2018 includes a benefit of $170 million for the biodiesel blender’s tax credit attributable to volumes blended during 2017. The benefit was recognized in February 2018 because the U.S. legislation authorizing the credit was passed and signed into law in that month. TheOf the $170 million pre-tax benefit, is$10million and $160million are included in theour refining segment and includesrenewable diesel segments, respectively, and consequently, $80million is attributable to noncontrolling interest and $90million is attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders.


(b)Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2017-07 which resulted in the reclassification of the non-service component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost from operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) to other income (expense), net. This resulted in an increase of $14 million and $21 million in operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and a decrease of $3 million and $1 million in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

(c)Other operating expenses reflects expenses that are not associated with our cost of sales. Other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes $14 million of costs to respond to and assess the damage caused by a fire in the alkylation unit at our Texas City Refinery on April 19, 2018. In addition, other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes repair costs incurred at certain of our refineries due to damage associated with inclement weather events in 2018 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017.

(d)
General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the three and six months ended June 30,March31, 2018 includes a charge of $56$52 million and $108 million, respectively, for an environmental reserve adjustment associated with certain non-operating sites.


(e)(c)Other income (expense), net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes a $38 million charge composed of the early redemption fee of $37 million on our 9.375 percent Senior Notes and the write-off of $1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs.

(f)As a result of Tax Reform that was enacted on December 22, 2017, the U.S. statutory income tax rate was reduced from 35 percent to 21 percent. Therefore, earnings from our U.S. operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are now taxed at 21 percent, resulting in a lower effective tax rate compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

(g)
We use certain financial measures (as noted below) that are not defined under U.S.GAAP and are considered to be non-GAAP measures.


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


Non-GAAP measures are as follows:


Adjusted net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders is defined as net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders excluding the items noted below, along with their related income tax effect. We have excluded these items because we believe that they are not indicative of our core operating performance in 2018 and that their exclusion results in an important measure of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our underlying business results and trends. The basis for

(i)(e)Valero uses certain operating statistics (as noted below) to evaluate performance between comparable periods. Different companies may calculate them in different ways.


AllRefining segment margin per barrel of throughput and adjusted refining segment operating income per barrel of throughput represents refining segment margin and adjusted refining segment operating income (each as defined in note (c) above) divided by throughput volumes. Ethanol segment margin per gallon of production amounts are calculatedand ethanol segment operating income per gallon of production represent ethanol segment margin (as defined in note (c) above) and ethanol segment operating income divided by dividing the associated dollar amountproduction volumes. Renewable diesel segment margin per gallon of sales and adjusted renewable diesel segment operating income per gallon of sales represent renewable diesel segment margin and adjusted renewable diesel segment operating income (each as defined in note (c) above) divided by the throughput volumes, production volumes, pipeline transportation throughput volumes, or terminaling throughput volumes for the period, as applicable.sales volumes.


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


Total Company, Corporate, and Other
Revenues increased $13.4decreased $2.2 billion in the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 compared to the first six monthsquarter of 20172018 primarily due to increasesdecreases in refined petroleum product prices associated with sales made by our refining segment. This improvementdecline in revenues was partially offset by higherlower cost of sales of $1.6 billion primarily due to decreases in crude oil and other feedstock costs and a decrease of $29 million in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) between the periods,, resulting in an increasea decrease in operating income of $666$493 million in the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 compared to the first six monthsquarter of 2017.2018.

Income tax expense increased $90decreased $98 million in the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 compared to the first six monthsquarter of 20172018 primarily as a result of higherlower income before income tax expense, partially offset by a decrease in our effective tax rate.expense. Our effective tax rate was 2123 percent for the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 compared to 2620 percent for the first six monthsquarter of 2017. The lower2018. Excluding the tax benefit related to the 2017 blender’s tax credit recognized in early 2018, the effective tax rate was 22 percent for the first six monthsquarter of 2018 is primarily due to the reduction in the U.S. statutory income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018 as a result of Tax Reform, which is more fully described in Note 9 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.2018.

Excluding the adjustments to refining segment operating income for the first six months of 2018 reflected in the tables on page 50, adjusted47, refining segment adjusted operating income was $2.2 billion fordecreased $330 million in the first six months quarter of 2018, an increase of $585 million2019 compared to the first six monthsquarter of 2017.2018. The components of this increase,decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in these components, are outlined below.


Refining segment margin, as defined in note (g)(c) to the accompanying tables, (see page 54), increased $597decreased $228 million in the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 compared to the first six monthsquarter of 2017,2018 primarily due to the following:


Increase in distillate margins. We experienced improved distillate margins throughout all our regions during the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017.
Decrease in gasoline margins. We experienced a decrease in gasoline margins throughout all our regions during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018. For example, the Brent-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. Gulf Coast CBOB gasoline was $0.16 per barrel for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $7.28 per barrel for the first quarter of 2018, representing an unfavorable decrease of $7.12 per barrel. Another example is the Brent-based benchmark reference margin for North Atlantic CBOB gasoline, which was $1.25 per barrel for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $8.88 per barrel for the first quarter of 2018, representing an unfavorable decrease of $7.63 per barrel. We estimate that the decrease in gasoline margins per barrel in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $762 million.

Lower discounts on other feedstocks. In addition to crude oil, we utilize other feedstocks, such as natural gas and residuals, in certain of our refining processes. We benefit when we process these other feedstocks that are priced at a discount to Brent crude oil. While we benefitted from processing these types of feedstocks during the first three months of 2019, that benefit declined compared to the first three months of 2018. We estimate that the reduction in the discounts for the other feedstocks that we processed during the first three months of 2019 had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $69 million.

Lower throughput volumes. Refining throughput volumes decreased by 66,000 BPD in the first quarter of 2019. We estimate that the decrease in refining throughput volumes had an unfavorable impact on our refining segment margin of approximately $51 million.

Higher discounts on crude oils. The market prices for refined petroleum products generally track the price of Brent crude oil, which is a benchmark crude oil, and we benefit when we process crude oils that are priced at a discount to Brent crude oil. We benefitted from processing these types of crude oils during the first quarter of 2019 and that benefit improved compared to the first quarter of 2018. For example, WTI crude oil, a light sweet crude oil, sold at an $8.94 per barrel discount to Brent crude oil for the first quarter of 2019 compared to a $4.29 per barrel discount for the first quarter of 2018, representing a favorable increase of $4.65 per barrel. We estimate that the increase in the discounts for the crude oils we processed during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 had a favorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $430 million.

Lower costs of biofuel credits. As described in Note 14 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we purchase biofuel credits in order to meet our biofuel blending obligation under various government and regulatory compliance programs. The cost of these credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.) was $91 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $206 million in the first quarter of 2018, a decrease of $115 million.
Increase in distillate margins. We experienced an increase in distillate margins during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018. For example, the Brent-based benchmark reference



54



margin for U.S. Gulf Coast ultra-low-sulfurULS diesel was $13.62$14.99 per barrel for the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 compared to $11.06$13.78 per barrel for the first six monthsquarter of 2017,2018, representing a favorable increase of $2.56$1.21 per barrel. Another example is the WTI-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. Mid-Continent ultra-low-sulfurULS diesel which was $20.93$24.89 per barrel for the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 compared to $14.30$19.83 per barrel for the first six monthsquarter of 2017,2018, representing a favorable increase of $6.63$5.06 per barrel. We estimate that the increase in distillate margins per barrel in the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 compared to the first six monthsquarter of 20172018 had a favorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $817 million.

Higher discounts on other feedstocks. In addition to crude oil, we utilize other feedstocks, such as natural gas and residuals, in certain of our refining processes. We benefit when we process these other feedstocks that are priced at a discount to Brent crude oil. We benefitted from processing these types of feedstocks during the first six months of 2018 and that benefit improved compared to the first six months of 2017. We estimate that the increase in the discounts for the other feedstocks that we processed during the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017 had a favorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $160 million.

Lower costs of biofuel credits. As more fully described in Note 14 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we must purchase biofuel credits in order to meet our biofuel blending obligation under various government and regulatory compliance programs, and the cost of these credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.) decreased by $64 million from $401 million for the first six months of 2017 to $337 million for the first six months of 2018.

Higher discounts on crude oils. The market prices for refined petroleum products generally track the price of Brent crude oil, which is a benchmark crude oil, and we benefit when we process crude oils that are priced at a discount to Brent crude oil. We benefitted from processing these types of crude oils during the first six months of 2018 and that benefit improved compared to the first six months of 2017. For example, WTI crude oil, a light sweet crude oil processed in our U.S. Mid-Continent region, sold at a discount to Brent crude oil of $5.61 per barrel for the first six months of 2018 compared to a discount of $2.74 per barrel for the first six months of 2017, representing a favorable increase of $2.87 per barrel. Another example is Maya crude oil, a sour crude oil processed in our U.S. Gulf Coast region, which sold at a discount of $11.18 per barrel for the first six months of 2018 compared to a discount of $8.48 per barrel for the first six months of 2017, representing a favorable increase of $2.70 per barrel. We estimate that the increase in the discounts for crude oils



57



that we processed during the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017 had a favorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $59$91 million.


Decrease in other products margins. We experienced a decrease in the margins of other products (such as petroleum cokeRefining segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and sulfur) relative to Brent crude oil during the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017amortization expense) increased$60 million primarily due to an increase in the costmaintenance expenditures of crude oils between the periods. Because the market prices for our other products remain relatively stable, our margins decline when the cost$27 million and an environmental reserve adjustment of crude oils that we process increases. For example, the benchmark price of Brent crude oil was $71.05 per barrel for the first six months of 2018 compared to $52.78 per barrel for the first six months of 2017, representing an unfavorable increase of $18.27 per barrel. We estimate that the decrease in other products margins for the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017 had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $384 million.

Decrease in gasoline margins. We experienced a decrease in gasoline margins during the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017. For example, the Brent-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. Gulf Coast CBOB gasoline was $7.38 per barrel for the first six months of 2018 compared to $9.58 per barrel for the first six months of 2017, representing an unfavorable decrease of $2.20 per barrel. Another example is the ANS-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. West Coast CARBOB 87 gasoline, which was $15.82 per barrel for the first six months of 2018 compared to $19.89 per barrel for the first six months of 2017, representing an unfavorable decrease of $4.07 per barrel. We estimate that the decrease in gasoline margins per barrel in the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017 had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $145 million.

Increase in charges from VLP. Charges from the VLP segment for transportation and terminaling services increased $51$4 million in the first six monthsquarter of 2018 compared to2019, along with a sales and use tax refund of $7 million and a favorable property tax settlement of $6 million received in the first six monthsquarter of 2017 primarily due to additional services provided by a terminal and a product pipeline system acquired by VLP in November 2017 that were formerly a part of the refining segment. Details regarding the increase in charges from VLP are discussed in the VLP segment analysis below.
2018.


Refining segment depreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased $16$42 million primarily due to an increase in refinery turnaround and catalyst amortization expense of $27 million and an increase in depreciation expense associated with capital projects completed in 2018 of $8 million.

Ethanol Segment Results
Ethanol segment revenues decreased $78 million in the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 compared to the first six monthsquarter of 2017.

Ethanol Segment Results
Ethanol segment revenues increased $37 million in the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017 primarily due to increasesa decrease in corn related co-product prices.ethanol prices, partially offset by the revenue contribution associated with three ethanol plants acquired from Green Plains Inc. (Green Plains) on November 15, 2018. This improvementdecline in ethanol segment revenuesrevenue was partially offset by slightly higherlower cost of sales between the periods, resultingof $36 million, resulting in an increasea decrease in ethanol segment operating income of $35$42 million in the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 compared to the first six monthsquarter of 2017. This increase is primarily due to higher ethanol segment margins, as2018. The components of this decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in these components, are outlined below.


Ethanol segment margin, as defined in note (g)(c) to the accompanying tables, (see page 54), increased $31decreased $23 million in the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 compared to the first six monthsquarter of 2017,2018 primarily due to the following:


Lower ethanol prices. Ethanol prices were lower in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to an increase in domestic ethanol production. For example, the NYH ethanol price was $1.44 per gallon for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $1.52 per gallon for the first quarter of 2018, representing an unfavorable decrease of $0.08 per gallon. We estimate that the decrease in the price of ethanol had an unfavorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of approximately $17 million.

Higher corn prices. Corn prices were higher in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018. For example, the CBOT corn price was $3.73 per bushel for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $3.66 per bushel for the first quarter of 2018, representing an unfavorable increase of $0.07 per bushel. We estimate that the increase in the price of corn had an unfavorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of approximately $4 million.

Ethanol segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased $14 million primarily due to costs to operate the three plants acquired from Green Plains in November 2018 of $24 million, partially offset by lower chemicals and catalyst expenses of $5 million, and lower maintenance expenses of $3 million.


Higher co-product prices. An increase in export demand for corn related co-products, primarily distillers grains, had a favorable effect on the prices received. We estimate that the increase in corn

related co-product prices had a favorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of approximately $75 million.

Higher production volumes.Ethanol segment margin was favorably impacted bydepreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased production volumes of 149,000 gallons per day$5 million primarily due to depreciation expense associated with the three plants acquired from Green Plains in November 2018.

Renewable Diesel Segment Results
Renewable diesel segment revenues increased $153 million in the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 compared to the first six monthsquarter of 20172018 primarily due to reliability improvements. We estimate that thean increase in production volumes had a favorable impactrenewable diesel sales volumes. This improvement in renewable diesel segment revenues was outweighed by higher cost of sales of $299 million primarily due to our ethanol segment marginthe benefit of $14 million.

Lower ethanol prices. Ethanol prices were lower$160 million related to the 2017 blender’s tax credit recognized in the first six monthsquarter of 2018, as described in note (a) to the accompanying tables, and incremental costs attributable to the expanded production capacity of the plant, resulting in a decrease in renewable diesel segment operating income of $146 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first six monthsquarter of 2018.

Excluding the 2017 primarily due to a decrease in both export and domestic demand. For example, the New York Harbor ethanol price was $1.54 per gallon for the first six months of 2018 compared to $1.59 per gallon for the first six months of 2017, representing an unfavorable decrease of $0.05 per gallon. We estimate that the decrease in the price of ethanol had an unfavorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of $45 million.

Higher corn prices. Corn prices were higherblender’s tax credit recognized in the first six monthsquarter of 2018 reflected in the table on page 47, renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income increased $14 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first six monthsquarter of 2017. For example, the CBOT corn price was $3.75 per bushel for the first six months of 2018 compared to $3.66 per bushel for the first six months of 2017, representing an unfavorable increase of $0.09 per bushel. We estimate that the increase in the price of corn had an unfavorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of $13 million.

VLP Segment Results
VLP segment revenues increased $51 million in the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017 primarily due to incremental revenues generated from transportation and terminaling services associated with assets acquired by VLP in November 2017 that were formerly a part of the refining segment. This increase in VLP segment revenues was partially offset by increases in other components of cost of sales, resulting in an increase in VLP segment operating income of $26 million in the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017.2018. The components of this increase, along with the reasons for the changes in these components, are discussedoutlined below.


VLPRenewable diesel segment revenuesmargin, as defined in note (c) to the accompanying tables, increased $51$24 million in the first six monthsquarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 as previously noted, primarily due to incremental transportationthe following:

Higher sales volumes. Renewable diesel segment margin was favorably impacted by increased sales volumes of 419,000 gallons per day in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily due to the additional production capacity resulting from the expansion of the DGD plant in the third quarter of 2018. We estimate that the increase in sales volumes had a favorable impact to our renewable diesel segment margin of approximately $60 million.

Price risk management activities. We recognized a hedge loss of $26 million in the first quarter of 2019 from commodity derivative instruments associated with our price risk management activities compared to a gain of $1 million in the first quarter of 2018, representing an unfavorable impact to our renewable diesel segment margin of $27 million.

Lower co-product prices. We produce a variety of co-products, such as naphtha and pentane, and the prices we receive are influenced by natural gasoline prices. Natural gasoline prices were lower in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 due to a decrease in demand, resulting in an unfavorable decrease in the prices we received for the co-products we produced. We estimate that the decrease in co-product prices had an unfavorable impact to our renewable diesel segment margin of approximately $7 million.

Renewable diesel segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and terminaling revenuesamortization expense) increased $5 million, which is attributable to the increase in the production of renewable diesel in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 resulting from the Port Arthur terminalexpansion of the DGD plant in the third quarter of 2018.

Renewable diesel segment depreciation and Parkway pipeline, which VLP acquired from Valero in November 2017. The incremental revenues generated by these assets had a favorable impact to VLP segment revenues of $44 million.

VLP segmentamortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased $25$5 million primarily due to the costs to operate the Port Arthur terminal and the Parkway pipeline and depreciation expense associated with these assets. VLP acquired these assetsthe expansion of the DGD plant in November 2017.the third quarter of 2018.

Corporate and Eliminations
Corporate and eliminations, which consists primarily of general and administrative expenses and related depreciation and amortization expense, increaseddecreased by $119$27 million in the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 compared to the first six monthsquarter of 2017.2018. Excluding the environmental reserve adjustment of $108$52 million forin the first six monthsquarter of 2018 reflected in the table on page 50,47, adjusted corporate and eliminations increased by $11$25 million primarily due to expenses in the first quarter of 2019 associated with the Merger Transaction with VLP of $7 million, which is more fully described in Note 2 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, an increase in employee-related expenses.legal reserves of $7 million, and higher employee related expenses of $6 million.

This authorization was in addition to the remaining amount available under a $2.5 billion program authorized on September 21, 2016 (the 2016 program).

Pension Plan Funding
Management has electedAs previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, we plan to increase the discretionary contributionscontribute approximately $35 million to our pension plans by $10 million during the second half of 2018, resulting in expected contributions to our pension plans of approximately $141 million for 2018, which now includes discretionary contributions of $110 million. Our plan to also contribute approximately $19and $21 million to our other postretirement benefit plans during 2018 remains unchanged.2019.


Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to extensive environmental regulations by governmental authorities relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, waste management, pollution prevention measures, GHG emissions, and characteristics and composition of gasolines and distillates. Because environmental laws and regulations are becoming more complex and stringent and new environmental laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed, the level of future expenditures required for environmental matters could increase in the future. In addition, any major upgrades in any of our operating facilities could require material additional expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations. See Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of our environmental matters.

Tax Matters
The IRS has ongoing audits related to our U.S. federal income tax returns from 20102012 through 2015. We have received Revenue Agent Reports in connection withDuring the first quarter of 2019, we settled the combined audit related to our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2010 and 2011 combined audit. We have made significant progress in resolving this audit, which we believeand will be settled within the next 12 months. Upon settlement, we anticipate receivingreceive a refund; therefore, we have a receivablerefund of $320 million, plus interest, associated with this audit as of June 30, 2018.audit. We dodid not expect to have a significant change to our uncertain tax positions upon the settlement of our ongoing audits,the 2010 and we2011 combined audit. We believe that the ultimate settlement of our 2012 through 2015 audits will not be material to our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

We continue to evaluate both provisional and incomplete estimates due to Tax Reform related to our 2017 tax provision. As discussed in Note 9 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been no updates to these amounts as of June 30, 2018.

Cash Held by Our International Subsidiaries
In conjunction with our implementationAs of the provisions under Tax Reform, which was enacted on December 22,31, 2017, and described in Note 9 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we recorded a liability in 2017 for the estimated U.S. federal tax due on the deemed repatriation of the accumulated earnings and profits of our international subsidiaries not previously distributed to us,were included in our computation of the one-time deemed repatriation tax liability associated with the enactment of the Tax Cuts and we will pay this liability over the eight-year period permitted by the provisions under Tax Reform.Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Reform). Because of the deemed repatriation of these accumulated earnings and profits, there are no longer any U.S. federal income tax consequences associated with the repatriation of any of the $2.4$1.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents held by our international subsidiaries as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. However, certain countries in which our international subsidiaries are organized impose withholding taxes on cash distributed outside of those countries. We have accrued for withholding taxes on the portion of the cash held by one of our international subsidiaries that we have deemed not to be permanently reinvested in our operations in that country.

Cash provided The remaining cash held by operating activities in the U.S. continues to be our primary source of funds to finance our U.S. operations and capital expenditures,that subsidiary, as well as our dividends and share repurchases.other international subsidiaries, will be permanently reinvested in our operations in those countries.


Concentration of Customers
Our operations have a concentration of customers in the refining industry and customers who are refined petroleum product wholesalers and retailers. These concentrations of customers may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. However, we believe that our portfolio of accounts receivable is sufficiently diversified to the extent necessary to minimize potential credit risk. Historically, we have not had any significant problems collecting our accounts receivable.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


COMMODITY PRICE RISK


We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of crude oil, refined petroleum products (primarily gasoline and distillate), grain (primarily corn), soybean oil, and natural gas used in our operations. To reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows, we use commodity derivative instruments, including swaps, futures and options to manage the volatility of:

inventories and firm commitments to purchase inventories generally for amounts by which our current year inventory levels (determined on a LIFO basis) differ from our previous year-end LIFO inventory levels, and


forecasted feedstock and refined petroleum product purchases, refined petroleum product sales, natural gas purchases, and corn purchases to lock in the price of those forecasted transactions at existing market prices that we deem favorable.

We use the futures markets for the available liquidity, which provides greater flexibility in transacting our price risk activities. We use swaps primarily to manage our price exposure. We also enter into certain commodity derivative instruments for trading purposes to take advantage of existing market conditions related to future results of operations and cash flows.


Our positions in commodity derivative instruments are monitored and managed on a daily basis by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy that has been approved by our board of directors.


We prepared aThe following sensitivity analysis of open positionsincludes all of our commodity derivative instruments.

(a)Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report, and has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.
(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We continue the implementation process to prepare for the adoption of Topic 842, which we discuss in Note 1 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We expect that there will be changes affecting our internal control over financial reporting in conjunction with adopting this standard. The most significant changes we expect relate to the implementation of a lease evaluation system and a lease accounting system, including the integration of our lease accounting system with our general ledger and modifications to the related procurement and payment processes.
