CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


This combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain "forward-looking statements"“forward-looking statements” of expected future developments that involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "believes," "expects," "may," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "intends," "plans," "estimates,"“believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or "anticipates"“anticipates” or similar expressions that relate to our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results or to our expectations regarding future industry trends are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based uponon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, which we refer to as "cautionary statements," are disclosed under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162020 of PBF Holding Company LLC and PBF Finance Corporation, which we refer to as our 20162020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our other filings with the SEC.U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include:
the effect of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related governmental and consumer responses on our business, financial condition and results of operations;
our ability to target and execute expense reduction measures in 2021 and thereafter;
supply, demand, prices and other market conditions for our products, including volatility in commodity prices;

Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“J.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the PBF Holding and PBF Finance financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 of PBF Holding Company LLC and PBF Finance Corporation.2020.

However, the extent of Sales” subtotal represents depreciation and amortizationthe impact of refining and logistics assets that are integral to the refinery production process.
The historical comparative information has been revised to conform to the current presentation. This revised presentation does not have an effectCOVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s historical consolidated income frombusiness, financial condition, results of operations or net income, nor does it have anyand liquidity will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, particularly within the geographic areas where the Company operates, the effectiveness of the vaccine programs, and the related impact on overall economic activity, all of which cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.
East Coast Refining Reconfiguration
On December 31, 2020, the Company reconfigured the Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries temporarily idling certain of its consolidated balance sheets, statementsmajor processing units at the Paulsboro refinery, in order to operate the two refineries as one functional unit referred to as the “East Coast Refining System”. The reconfiguration process resulted in lower overall throughput and inventory levels in addition to decreases in capital and operating costs.
Interim Impairment Assessment
The global crisis resulting from the spread of comprehensive incomethe COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a substantial impact on the economy and overall consumer demand for energy and hydrocarbon products. As a result of the sustained decrease in such demand which has resulted in sustained throughput reductions across the Company’s refineries, the Company determined an impairment triggering event had occurred. As such, the Company performed an interim impairment assessment on certain long-lived assets as of March 31, 2021. As a result of the interim impairment test, the Company concluded that the carrying values of its long-lived assets were not impaired when comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets over their remaining estimated useful lives.
If adverse market conditions persist or statements of cash flows. Presented belowthere is a summaryfurther deterioration in the general economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there could be additional indicators that the Company’s assets are impaired requiring evaluation that may result in future impairment charges to earnings.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting”.

2. ACQUISITIONS
Martinez Acquisition
On February 1, 2020, the Company acquired from Equilon Enterprises LLC d/b/a Shell Oil Products US (the "Seller"), the Martinez refinery and related logistics assets (collectively, the related in-bound freight"Martinez Acquisition"), pursuant to a sale and transportation costs.purchase agreement dated June 11, 2019 (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”). The Martinez refinery, located in Martinez, California, is a high-conversion, dual-coking facility that is strategically positioned in Northern California and provides for operating and commercial synergies with the Torrance refinery located in Southern California.

that are integral to the refinery production process, which is presented separately as Depreciation and amortization expense as a component of Cost of sales on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Reclassification
Certain amounts previously reported in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 presentation. These reclassifications, in addition to the changes in “Cost and expenses” described above, include certain details about accrued expenses in that footnote.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2016-06”). ASU 2016-6 was issued in March 2016 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to increase consistency in practice in applying guidance on determining if an embedded derivative is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, specifically for assessing whether call (put) options that can accelerate the repayment of principal on a debt instrument meet the clearly and closely related criterion. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 was issued by the FASB in March 2016 to simplify certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payments to employees. The guidance in ASU 2016-09 requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled rather than recording excess tax benefits or deficiencies in additional paid-in capital. The guidance in ASU 2016-09 also allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it could prior to its adoption for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-17, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control” (“ASU 2016-17”). ASU 2016-17 was issued by the FASB in October 2016 to amend the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The amendments in this ASU do not change the characteristics of a primary beneficiary in current GAAP. The amendments in this ASU require that a reporting entity, in determining whether it satisfies the second characteristic of a primary beneficiary, include all of its direct variable interests in a VIE and, on a proportionate basis, its indirect variable interests in a VIE held through related parties, including related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”), which provides guidance to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. Under ASU 2017-01, it is expected that the definition of a business will be narrowed and more consistently applied. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. Early adoption of ASU 2017-01 is permitted and the Company early adopted the new standard in its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures effective January 1, 2017. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”), which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT UNIT, BARREL AND PER BARREL DATA)

Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”) for all entities by one year. Additional ASUs have been issued in 2016 and 2017 that provide certain implementation guidance related to ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the Company refers to ASU 2014-09 and these additional ASUs as the “Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance”). The Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. Under ASU 2015-14, this guidance becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. Under ASU 2015-14, early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company has established a working group to assess the Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance, including its impact on the Company’s business processes, accounting systems, controls and financial statement disclosures. The Company will adopt this new standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective application. Under that 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. The working group is progressing through its implementation plan and continues to evaluate the impact of this new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Additionally, the Company has begun training the relevant staff at its corporate headquarters and refineries on the Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance, including the potential impacts on internal reporting and disclosure requirements. Although the Company’s analysis of the new standard is still in process and interpretative and industry specific guidance is still developing, based on the results to date, we have reached tentative conclusions for most contract types and do not believe revenue recognition patterns will change materially. However, it is expected that the new standard will have some impact on presentation and disclosures in its financial statements and internal controls.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), to increase the transparency and comparability about leases among entities. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts.  It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has established a working group to study and lead implementation of the new guidance in ASU 2016-02. This working group was formed during 2016 and has begun the process of compiling a central repository for all leases entered into by the Company and its subsidiaries for further analysis as the implementation project progresses. The Company will not early adopt this new guidance. The working group continues to evaluate the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. At this time, the Company has identified that the most significant impacts of this new guidance will be to bring nearly all leases on its balance sheet with “right of use assets” and “lease obligation liabilities” as well as accelerating the interest expense component of financing leases. While the assessment of the impacts arising from this standard is progressing, it remains in its early stages. Accordingly, the Company has not fully determined the impacts on its business processes, controls or financial statement disclosures.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”), which provides guidance to improve the reporting of net benefit cost in the income statement and on the components eligible for capitalization in assets. Under the new guidance, employers will present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Additionally, under this guidance, employers will present the other components of the net periodic benefit cost separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, if one is presented. These components will not be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will apply the guidance on the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement retrospectively. The guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost component will be applied prospectively. The guidance includes a practical expedient allowing entities to estimate amounts for comparative periods using the information previously disclosed in their pension and other postretirement benefit plan note to the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect the

adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which provides guidance to increase clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost and complexity when applying the existing accounting guidance on changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 require an entity to account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (i) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (ii) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and (iii) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The guidance in ASU 2017-09 should be applied prospectively. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will apply the guidance prospectively for any modifications to its stock compensation plans occurring after the effective date of the new standard.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”). The amendments in ASU 2017-12 more closely align the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with risk management activities through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 address specific limitations in current GAAP by expanding hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and by refining the measurement of hedge results to better reflect an entity’s hedging strategies. Thus, the amendments in ASU 2017-12 will enable an entity to better portray the economic results of hedging activities for certain fair value and cash flow hedges and will avoid mismatches in earnings by allowing for greater precision when measuring changes in fair value of the hedged item for certain fair value hedges. Additionally, by aligning the timing of recognition of hedge results with the earnings effect of the hedged item for cash flow and net investment hedges, and by including the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is presented, the results of an entity’s hedging program and the cost of executing that program will be more visible to users of financial statements. The guidance in ASU 2017-12 concerning amendments to cash flow and net investment hedge relationships that exist on the date of adoption should be applied using a modified retrospective approach (i.e., with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the initial application date). The guidance in ASU 2017-12 also provides transition relief to make it easier for entities to apply certain amendments to existing hedges (including fair value hedges) where the hedge documentation needs to be modified. The presentation and disclosure requirements of ASU 2017-12 should be applied prospectively. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. ACQUISITIONS
Torrance Acquisition
On July 1, 2016, the Company acquired from ExxonMobil Oil Corporation and its subsidiary, Mobil Pacific Pipe Line Company, the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets (collectively, the “Torrance Acquisition”). The Torrance refinery, located in Torrance, California, is a high-conversion, delayed-coking refinery. The facility is strategically positioned in Southern California with advantaged logistics connectivity that offers flexible raw material sourcing and product distribution opportunities primarily in the California, Las Vegas and Phoenix area markets. The Torrance Acquisition provided the Company with a broader more diversified asset base and increased the number of operating refineries from four to five and expanded the Company’s combined crude oil throughput capacity. The acquisition also provided the Company with a presence in the PADD 5 market.

In addition to refining assets, the transaction included a number of high-quality logistics assets including a sophisticated network of crude and products pipelines, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities. The most significant of the logistics assets is a crude gathering and transportation system which delivers San Joaquin Valley crude oil directly from the field to the refinery. Additionally, included in the transaction were several pipelines which provide access to sources of crude oil including the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, as well as clean product outlets with a direct pipeline supplying jet fuel to the Los Angeles airport.
The aggregate purchase price for the TorranceMartinez Acquisition was $521,350 in cash after post-closing purchase price adjustments, plus$1,253.4 million, including final working capital of $450,582. In addition,$216.1 million and the Company assumed certain pre-existing environmental and regulatory emission credit obligations in connection with the Torrance Acquisition.Martinez Contingent Consideration, as defined below. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand, including proceeds from certain PBF Energy equity offeringsthe $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”), and borrowings under the Company’s asset basedPBF Holding’s asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Loan”Credit Facility”).
The Company accounted for the TorranceMartinez Acquisition as a business combination under GAAP whereby the Companyit recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The final purchase price and fair value allocation were completed as of June 30, 2017. During the measurement period, which ended in June 2017, adjustments were made to the Company’s preliminary fair value estimates related primarily to Property, plant and equipment and Other long-term liabilities reflecting the finalization of the Company’s assessment of the costs and duration of certain assumed pre-existing environmental obligations.
The total purchase consideration and the fair values of the assets and liabilities at the acquisition date were as follows:

(UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT UNIT, BARREL AND PER BARREL DATA)3. CURRENT EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES
Credit Losses
The Company has exposure to credit losses primarily through its sales of refined products. The Company evaluates creditworthiness on an individual customer basis. The Company utilizes a financial review model for purposes of evaluating creditworthiness which is based on information from financial statements and credit reports. The financial review model enables the Company to assess the customer’s risk profile and determine credit limits on the basis of their financial strength, including but not limited to, their liquidity, leverage, debt serviceability, longevity and how they pay their bills. The Company may require security in the form of letters of credit or cash payments in advance of product delivery for certain customers that are deemed higher risk.
The Company’s payment terms on its trade receivables are relatively short, generally 30 days or less for a substantial majority of its refined products. As a result, the Company’s collection risk is mitigated to a certain extent by the fact that sales are collected in a relatively short period of time, allowing for the ability to reduce exposure on defaults if collection issues are identified. Notwithstanding, the Company reviews each customer’s credit risk profile at least annually or more frequently if warranted. Following the widespread market disruption that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental responses, the Company has been performing ongoing credit reviews of its customers including monitoring for any negative credit events such as customer bankruptcy or insolvency events. As a result, the Company has adjusted payment terms or limited available trade credit for certain customers, as well as for customers within industries that are deemed to be at higher risk.
The Company performs a quarterly allowance for doubtful accounts analysis to assess whether an allowance needs to be recorded for any outstanding trade receivables. In estimating credit losses, management reviews accounts that are past due, have known disputes or have experienced any negative credit events that may result in future collectability issues. There was 0 allowance for doubtful accounts recorded as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

9. 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary conduct of the Company’s business, the Company is from time to time subject to lawsuits, investigations and claims, including class action proceedings, mass tort actions, tort actions, environmental claims and employee-related matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but the Company accrues liabilities for these matters if the Company has determined that it is probable a loss has been incurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. For such ongoing matters for which we have not recorded a liability but losses are reasonably possible, we are unable to estimate a range of possible losses at this time due to various reasons that may include but are not limited to, matters being in an early stage and not fully developed through pleadings, discovery or court proceedings, number of potential claimants being unknown or uncertainty regarding a number of different factors underlying the potential claims. However, the ultimate resolution of one or more of these contingencies could result in an adverse outcome that may have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental Matters
The Company’s refineries, pipelines and related operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment, waste management and the characteristics and the compositions of fuels. Compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations can increase the overall cost of operating the refineries, including remediation, operating costs and capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities.
In connection with the Paulsboro refinery acquisition,These laws and permits raise potential exposure to future claims and lawsuits involving environmental and safety matters which could include soil and water contamination, air pollution, personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by substances which the Company manufactured, handled, used, released or disposed of, transported, or that relate to pre-existing conditions for which the Company has assumed certainresponsibility. The Company believes that its current operations are in compliance with existing environmental remediation obligations. The Paulsboroand safety requirements. However, there have been and will continue to be ongoing discussions about environmental liability of $10,809 recorded as of September 30, 2017 ($10,792 as of December 31, 2016) represents the present value of expected future costs discounted at a rate of 8.0%. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in Accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in Other long-term liabilities. This liability is self-guaranteed by the Company.
In connection with the acquisition of the Delaware City assets, Valero Energy Corporation (“Valero”) remains responsible for certain pre-acquisition environmental obligations up to $20,000 and the predecessor to Valero in ownership of the refinery retains other historical obligations.
In connection with the acquisition of the Delaware City assets and the Paulsboro refinery,safety matters between the Company and Valero purchased ten year, $75,000federal and state authorities, including notices of violations, citations and other enforcement actions, some of which have resulted or may result in changes to operating procedures and in capital expenditures. While it is often difficult to quantify future environmental insurance policies to insure against unknown environmental liabilities at each site. In connection with the Toledo refinery acquisition, Sunoco, Inc. (R&M) (“Sunoco”) remains responsible for environmental remediation for conditions that existed on the closing date for twenty years from March 1, 2011 subject to certain limitations.
In connection with the acquisition of the Chalmette refinery,or safety related expenditures, the Company obtained $3,936anticipates that continuing capital investments and changes in financial assurance (in the form of a surety bond) to cover estimated potential site remediation costs associated with an agreed to Administrative Order of Consent with the EPA. The estimated cost assumes remedial activitiesoperating procedures will continue for a minimum of 30 years. Further, in connection with the acquisition of the Chalmette refinery, the Company purchased a ten year, $100,000 environmental insurance policy to insure against unknown environmental liabilities at the refinery.
As of November 1, 2015, the Company acquired Chalmette Refining, which was in discussions with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (“LDEQ”) to resolve self-reported deviations from refinery operations relating to certain Clean Air Act Title V permit conditions, limits and other requirements. LDEQ commenced an enforcement action against Chalmette Refining on November 14, 2014 by issuing a Consolidated Compliance Order and Notice of Potential Penalty (the “Order”) covering deviations from 2009 and 2010. Chalmette Refining and LDEQ subsequently entered into a dispute resolution agreement, the enforcement of which has been suspended while negotiations are ongoing, which may include the resolution of deviations outside the periods covered by the

Order. In February 2017, Chalmette Refining and the LDEQ met to resolve the issues under the Order, including the assessment of an administrative penalty against Chalmette Refining. Although a resolution has not been finalized, the administrative penalty is anticipated to be approximately $700, including beneficial environmental projects. To the extent the administrative penalty exceeds such amount, it is not expected to be material to the Company.
On December 23, 2016, the Delaware City refinery received a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) from DNREC concerning a potential violation of the DNREC order authorizing the shipment of crude oil by barge from the refinery. The NOV alleges that DCR made shipments to locations other than the Paulsboro refinery in violation of the order and requests certain additional information. On February 7, 2017, DCR responded to the NOV. On March 10, 2017, DNREC issued a $150 fine in a Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order to the Delaware City refinery for violating the 2013 Secretary’s Order. DNREC determined that the Delaware City refinery had violated the order by failing to make timely and full disclosure to DNREC about the nature and extent of those shipments, and had misrepresented the number of shipments that went to other facilities. The penalty assessment and Secretary’s Order conclude that the 2013 Secretary’s Order was violated by the Delaware City refinery by shipping crude oil from the Delaware City terminal to three locations other than the Paulsboro refinery, on 15 days in 2014, making a total of 17 separate barge shipments containing approximately 35.7 million gallons of crude oil in total. On April 28, 2017, DCR appealed the Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order. The hearing of the appeal is scheduled for February 2018. To the extent that the penalty and Secretary’s Order are upheld, there will not be a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On December 28, 2016, DNREC issued a Coastal Zone Act permit (the “Ethanol permit”) to DCR allowing the utilization of existing tanks and existing marine loading equipment at their existing facilities to enable denatured ethanol to be loaded from storage tanks to marine vessels and shipped to offsite facilities. On January 13, 2017, the issuance of the Ethanol Permit was appealed by two environmental groups. On February 27, 2017, the Coastal Zone Industrial Board held a public hearing and dismissed the appeal, determining that the appellants did not have standing. The final opinion and order of the Board was issued March 16, 2017. The appellants filed an appeal of the Board’s decision with the Delaware Superior Court on March 30, 2017. On September 28, 2017, the Delaware Superior Court issued it scheduling order governing briefing in the appeal of the Coastal Zone Board’s decision to sustain the permit issuedrequired for the ethanol project. The filing of briefs has been scheduled for Octoberforeseeable future to comply with existing and November 2017.
On October 19, 2017, the Delaware City Refinery received approval from DNREC for the construction and operation of the ethanol marketing project to allow for a combined total loading of up to 10,000 bpd, on an annual average basis, of ethanol on to marine vessels at the marine piers and the terminal truck loading rack, subject to certain operational and emissions limitationsnew requirements, as well as other conditions. On the same date, Delaware City Logistics Company LLC received DNREC approval for the constructionevolving interpretations and more strict enforcement of (i) four additional loading arms for each of lanes 4, 10existing laws and 11 for purposes of loading ethanol at its truck loading rack and (ii) a vapor vacuum control system for loading lanes connected to the existing vapor recovery unit located at its terminal in Delaware City. This approval is also subject to certain operational and emission limitations as well as other conditions.
On February 3, 2011, EPA sent a request for information pursuant to Section 114 of the Clean Air Act to the Paulsboro refinery with respect to compliance with EPA standards governing flaring. The refinery and the EPA have reached agreement on settlement, which includes a civil penalty of $180. On July 13, 2017 the U.S. Department of Justice filed with the Court the motion to enter the consent decree. On September 19, 2017, the Court approved the consent decree and in connection therewith the Paulsboro refinery has paid a penalty of $180.regulations.
In connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, the Company assumed certain pre-existing environmental liabilities totaling $138,511$112.3 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 ($142,456113.7 million as of December 31, 2016)2020), related to certain environmental remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and monitoring activities and other clean-up activities, which reflects the current estimated cost of the remediation obligations. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in Accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in Other long-term liabilities. In addition,
The aggregate environmental liability reflected in connection with the acquisitionCompany’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $150.7 million and $151.9 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, of which $139.5 million and $140.5 million, respectively, were classified as Other long-term liabilities.

Contingent Consideration
insurance policy to insure against unknown environmental liabilities. Furthermore, inIn connection with the acquisition,Martinez Acquisition, the Sale and Purchase Agreement includes an earn-out provision based on certain earnings thresholds of the Martinez refinery. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company assumed responsibility for certain specified environmental matters that occurred priorwill make payments to the Company’s ownershipSeller based on the future earnings of the Martinez refinery and the logistics assets, including specified incidents and/or NOVs issued by regulatory agencies in various years before the Company’s ownership, including the Southern California Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) and the Division of Occupational Safety and Health of the State of California (“Cal/OSHA”).
Additionally, subsequent to the acquisition, further NOVs were issued by the SCAQMD, Cal/OSHA, the City of Torrance and the City of Torrance Fire Department related to alleged operational violations, emission discharges and/or flaring incidents at the refinery and the logistics assets before and after the Company’s acquisition. With the exception of one NOV for which a proposed settlement is less than $100, no settlement or penalty demands have been received to date with respect to the other NOVs. As the ultimate outcomes are uncertain, the Company cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of their resolution. It is reasonably possible that SCAQMD, Cal/OSHA and/or the City of Torrance will assess penalties in the other matters in excess of $100 but any such amount is not expectedcertain thresholds, as defined in the agreement, for a period of up to have a material impact onfour years following the acquisition closing date.

9. LEASES
The Company leases office space, office equipment, refinery support facilities and equipment, railcars and other logistics assets primarily under non-cancelable operating leases, with terms typically ranging from one to twenty years, subject to certain specific requirementsrenewal options as applicable. The Company considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the Clean Air Act (the “CAA”)lease term and related stateinitial measurement of lease liabilities and local regulations. right-of-use assets. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Interest expense for finance leases is incurred based on the carrying value of the lease liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
The CAACompany determines whether a contract is or contains provisionsa lease at inception of the contract and whether that require capital expenditureslease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.
For substantially all classes of underlying assets, the Company has elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components, which allows for combining the components if certain criteria are met. For certain leases of refinery support facilities, the Company accounts for the installationnon-lease service component separately. There are no material residual value guarantees associated with any of certain air pollution control devices at the Company’s refineries. Subsequent rule making authorized by the CAAleases. There are no significant restrictions or similar laws or new agency interpretations of existing rules, may necessitate additional expenditures in future years.
In 2010, New York State adopted a Low-Sulfur Heating Oil mandate that, beginning July 1, 2012, requires all heating oil sold in New York State to contain no more than 15 parts per million (“PPM”) sulfur. Since July 1, 2012, other statescovenants included in the Northeast market began requiring heating oil soldCompany’s lease agreements other than those that are customary in their state to contain no more than 15 PPM sulfur. Currently, allsuch arrangements. Certain of the Northeastern states and Washington DC have adopted sulfur controls on heating oil. Most of the Northeastern states will now require heating oil with 15 PPM or less sulfur by July 1, 2018 (exceptCompany’s leases, primarily for Pennsylvania and Maryland - where less than 500 ppm sulfur is required). All of the heating oil the Company currently produces meets these specifications. The mandate and other requirements do not currently have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, resultscommercial and logistics asset classes, include provisions for variable payments. These variable payments are typically determined based on a measure of operationsthroughput or cash flows.
The EPA issuedactual days the final Tier 3 Gasoline standards on March 3, 2014 underasset has operated during the CAA. This final rule establishes more stringent vehicle emission standardscontract term or another measure of usage and further reduces the sulfur content of gasoline starting in January 2017.  The new standard is set at 10 PPM sulfur in gasoline on an annual average basis starting January 1, 2017, with a credit trading program to provide compliance flexibility. The EPA responded to industry comments on the proposed rule and maintained the per gallon sulfur cap on gasoline at the existing 80 PPM cap. The refineries are complying with these new requirements as planned, either directly or using flexibility provided by sulfur credits generated or purchased in advance as an economic optimization. The standards set by the new rule are not expected to have a material impact onincluded in the Company’s financial position, resultsinitial measurement of operations or cash flows.
The EPA published the final 2014-2016 standards under the Renewable Fuels Standard (“RFS”) late in 2015lease liabilities and issued final 2017 RFS standards in November 2016. In July 2017, the EPA issued proposed 2018 RFS standards that, while the Company is still reviewing, appear to slightly reduce renewable volume standards from final 2017 levels. It is not clear that renewable fuel producers will be able to produce the volumesright of these fuels required for blending in accordance with the 2017 standards. The final 2017 cellulosic standard is at approximately 135% of the 2016 standard. It is likely that cellulosic RIN production will be lower than needed forcing obligated parties, such as the Company, to purchase cellulosic “waiver credits” to comply in 2017 (the waiver credit option by regulation is only available for the cellulosic standard). The advanced and total RIN requirements were raised (by 7% and 3%, respectively) above the original proposed level in May 2016. Production of advanced RINs has been below what is needed for compliance in 2016. Obligated parties, such as the Company, will likely be relying on the nesting feature of the biodiesel RIN to comply with the advanced standard in 2017. While the Company believes that total RIN production will be adequate for 2016 needs, the new 2017 standard will put obligated parties up

The table below provides certain information related to an existing air regulation concerning Maximum Achievable Control Technologies (“MACT”)costs for Petroleum Refineries. The regulation requires additional continuous monitoring systems for eligible process safety valves relieving to atmosphere, minimum flare gas heat (Btu) content, and delayed coke drum vent controls to be installed by January 30, 2019. In addition, a program for ambient fence line monitoring for benzene will need to be implemented by January 30, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the final standards to evaluate the impact of this regulation, and at this time does not anticipate it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The EPA published a Final Rule to the Clean Water Act (“CWA”) Section 316(b) in August 2014 regarding cooling water intake structures, which includes requirements for petroleum refineries. The purpose of this rule is to prevent fish from being trapped against cooling water intake screens (impingement) and to prevent fish from being drawn through cooling water systems (entrainment). Facilities will be required to implement Best Technology Available (“BTA”) as soon as possible, but state agencies have the discretion to establish implementation time lines. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of this regulation, and at this time does not anticipate it having a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
As a result of the Torrance Acquisition, the Company is subject to greenhouse gas emission control regulations in the state of California pursuant to Assembly Bill 32 (“AB32”). AB32 imposes a statewide cap on greenhouse gas emissions, including emissions from transportation fuels, with the aim of returning the state to 1990 emission levels by 2020. AB32 is implemented through two market mechanisms including the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) and Cap and Trade, which was extended for an additional ten years to 2030 in July 2017. The Company is responsibleleases for the AB32 obligations related to the Torrance refinery beginning on July 1, 2016 and must purchase emission credits to comply with these obligations. Additionally, in September 2016, the state of California enacted Senate Bill 32 (“SB32”) which further reduces greenhouse gas emissions targets to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.periods presented:
However, subsequent to the acquisition, the Company is recovering the majority of these costs from its customers, and as such does not expect this obligation to materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. To the degree there are unfavorable changes to AB32 or SB32 regulations or the Company is unable to recover such compliance costs from customers, these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
On February 15, 2017, the Company received a notification that EPA records indicated that PBF Holding used potentially invalid RINs that were in fact verified under the EPA’s RIN Quality Assurance Program (“QAP”) by an independent auditor as QAP A RINs. Under the regulations, use of potentially invalid QAP A RINs provided the user with an affirmative defense from civil penalties provided certain conditions are met. The Company has asserted the affirmative defense and if accepted by the EPA will not be required to replace these RINs and will not be subject to civil penalties under the program. It is reasonably possible that the EPA will not accept the Company’s defense and may assess penalties in these matters but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is also currently subject to certain other existing environmental claims and proceedings. The Company believes that there is only a remote possibility that future costs related to any of these other known contingent liability exposures would have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

If, with respect to any given calendar year, the aggregate periodic tax distributions were less than the actual taxable income of PBF LLC multiplied by the assumed tax rate, PBF LLC is required to make a “true up” tax distribution, no later than March 15 of the following year, equal to such difference, subject to the available cash and borrowings of PBF LLC. PBF LLC generally obtains funding to pay its tax distributions by causing PBF Holding to distribute cash to PBF LLC and from distributions it receives from PBFX.
Tax Receivable Agreement
PBF Energy (the Company’s indirect parent) entered into a tax receivable agreement with the PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B Unit holders (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by PBF Energy to such persons of an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that PBF Energy is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis, as described below, and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the benefits deemed realized by PBF Energy will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of PBF Energy (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that PBF Energy would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC as a result of purchases or exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy’s Class A common stock and had PBF Energy not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless: (i) PBF Energy exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) PBF Energy breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or (iii) certain changes of control occur, in which case all obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally be accelerated and due as calculated under certain assumptions.
The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are obligations of PBF Energy and not of PBF LLC or the Company. In general, PBF Energy expects to obtain funding for these annual payments from PBF LLC, primarily through tax distributions, which PBF LLC makes on a pro-rata basis to its owners. Such owners include PBF Energy, which holds a 96.6% interest in PBF LLCCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2017 (96.5% as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016).2021:

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has entered into certain leases that have not yet commenced. Such leases include a 15-year lease for water treatment equipment, with future lease payments estimated to total approximately $34.1 million. No other such pending leases, either individually or in the aggregate, are material. There are no material lease arrangements in which the Company is the lessor.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into certain affiliate lease arrangements with PBFX for the use of certain storage, terminaling and pipeline assets. The Company believes that the terms and conditions under these leases are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. The terms for these affiliate leases generally range from seven to fifteen years. The Company uses the same methodology for discounting the lease payments on affiliate leases as it does for third-party leases as described above. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the Company incurred operating lease costs related to affiliate operating leases of $32.3 million and $32.3 million, respectively.

11. REVENUES
In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606”),revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The following table provides information relating to the Company’s revenues from external customers for each product or group of similar products for the periods presented:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)20212020
Gasoline and distillates$4,230.1 $4,570.4

Chemicals194.7 112.8 
Lubricants60.7 58.5 
Total Revenues$4,913.2 $5,260.0 

The Company’s revenues are generated from the sale of refined petroleum products. These revenues are largely based on the current spot market prices of the products sold, which represent consideration specifically allocable to the products being sold on a given day, and the Company recognizes those revenues upon delivery and transfer of title to the products to our customers. The time at which delivery and transfer of title occurs is the point when the Company’s control of the products is transferred to the Company’s customers and when its performance obligation to its customers is fulfilled. Delivery and transfer of title are specifically agreed to between the Company and customers within the contracts. The Company also has contracts which contain fixed pricing, tiered pricing, minimum volume features with makeup periods, or other factors that have not materially been affected by ASC 606.
Deferred Revenue
The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received or are due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable. Deferred revenue was $19.3 million and $45.1 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Fluctuations in the deferred revenue balance are primarily driven by the timing and extent of cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations.
The Company’s payment terms vary by type and location of customers and the products offered. The period between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant (i.e. generally within two months). For certain products or services and customer types, the Company requires payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer.

The valuation methods used to measure financial instruments at fair value are as follows:
Money market funds categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices and included within Cash and cash equivalents.
The commodity contracts categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in an active market. The commodity contracts categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon future commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.
The derivatives included with inventory intermediation agreement obligations and the catalyst obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.
When applicable, commodity contracts categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy consist of commodity price swap contracts that relate to forecasted purchases of crude oil for which quoted forward market prices are not readily available due to market illiquidity. The forward prices used to value these swaps wereare derived using broker quotes, prices from other third partythird-party sources and other available market based data.
The derivatives included with inventory intermediation agreement obligationscontingent considerations obligation at March 31, 2021 and the catalyst lease obligationsDecember 31, 2020 are categorized in Level 23 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair valueestimated using a market approachdiscounted cash flow models based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.on management’s estimate of the future cash flows related to the earn-out periods.

12.14. DERIVATIVES
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures to commodity price risk. The Company entered into the A&RInventory Intermediation Agreements that contain purchase obligations for certain volumes of crude oil, intermediates and refined products. The purchase obligations related to crude oil, intermediates and refined products under these agreements are derivative instruments that have been designated as fair value hedges in order to hedge the commodity price volatility of certain refinery inventory. The fair value of these purchase obligation derivatives is based on market prices of the underlying crude oil, intermediates and refined products. The level of activity for these derivatives is based on the level of operating inventories.
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 3,306,1540 barrels of crude oil and feedstocks outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges. As of March 31, 2021, there were 2,306,301 barrels of intermediates and refined products (2,942,348(2,604,736 barrels at December 31, 2016)2020) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges. These volumes represent the notional value of the contract.
The Company also enters into economic hedges primarily consisting of commodity derivative contracts that are not designated as hedges and are used to manage price volatility in certain crude oil and feedstock inventories as well as crude oil, feedstock, and refined product sales or purchases. The objective in entering into economic hedges is consistent with the objectives discussed above for fair value hedges. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, there were 37,496,00018,975,000 barrels of crude oil and 8,163,0003,138,000 barrels of refined products (5,950,000(7,183,000 and 2,831,000,2,810,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2016)2020), outstanding under short and long term commodity derivative contracts not designated as hedges representing the notional value of the contracts.
The Company also uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risk associated with the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. For such contracts that represent derivatives, the Company elects the normal purchase normal sale exception under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and therefore does not record them at fair value.
The following tables provide information aboutregarding the fair values of these derivative instruments as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 20162020, and the line items in the condensed consolidated balance sheetCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in which the fair values are reflected.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of PBF Holding Company LLC included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162020 and the unaudited financial statements and related notes included in this report. The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events may, and often do, vary from actual results and the differences can be material. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to PBF Holding and its consolidated subsidiaries.


Overview
We are one of the largest independent petroleum refiners and suppliers of unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants and other petroleum products in the United States. We sell our products throughout the Northeast, Midwest, Gulf Coast and West Coast of the United States, as well as in other regions of the United States, Canada and Canada,Mexico and are able to ship products to other international destinations. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we own and operate fivesix domestic oil refineries and related assets withassets. Based on the current configuration our refineries have a combined processing capacity, known as throughput, of approximately 900,0001,000,000 barrels per day (“bpd”), and a weighted-average Nelson Complexity Index of 12.2.13.2 based on current operating conditions. The complexity and throughput capacity of our refineries are subject to change dependent upon configuration changes we make to respond to market conditions, as well as a result of investments made to improve our facilities and maintain compliance with environmental and governmental regulations. Our fivesix oil refineries are aggregated into one reportable segment.
Our fivesix refineries are located in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, New Orleans,Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Torrance,Martinez, California. In 2020, we reconfigured our Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries, temporarily idling certain of our major processing units at the Paulsboro refinery, in order to operate the two refineries as one functional unit that we refer to as the “East Coast Refining System”. Each of these refineriesrefinery is briefly described in the table below:

(1)Reflects operating conditions at each refinery as of the date of this filing. Changes in complexity and throughput capacity reflect the result of current market conditions such as our east coast refining reconfiguration described below (the “East Coast Refining Reconfiguration”), in addition to investments made to improve our facilities and maintain compliance with environmental and governmental regulations. Configurations at each of our refineries are evaluated and updated accordingly.
(2) Reflects the typical crude and feedstocks and related sources utilized under normal operating conditions and prevailing market environments.
(3) Under normal operating conditions and prevailing market environments, our Nelson Complexity Index and throughput capacity for the Paulsboro refinery would be 13.1 and 180,000, respectively. As a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, our Nelson Complexity Index and throughput capacity were reduced.
We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF LLC and an indirect subsidiary of PBF Energy. PBF Finance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding. We are the parent company for PBF LLC’s refinery operating subsidiaries.

Business Developments
Recent significant business developments affecting us are discussed below.
COVID-19
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact worldwide economic and commercial activity and financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related governmental and consumer responses resulted in significant business and operational disruptions, including business and school closures, supply chain disruptions, travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders and limitations on the availability of workforces and has resulted in significantly lower global demand for refined petroleum and petrochemical products. We believe, but cannot guarantee, that demand for refined petroleum products will ultimately rebound as governmental restrictions are lifted. However, the continued negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and these market developments on our business and operations will depend on the ongoing severity, location and duration of the effects and spread of COVID-19, the effectiveness of the vaccine programs and the other actions undertaken by national, regional and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effects, and how quickly and to what extent economic conditions improve and normal business and operating conditions resume.
We are actively responding to the impacts from these matters on our business. Starting in late March 2020, we reduced the amount of crude oil processed at our refineries in response to the decreased demand for our products and we temporarily idled various units at certain of our refineries to optimize our production in light of prevailing market conditions. As of the date of this filing, we are operating our refineries at reduced rates and, based on current market conditions, we plan on continuing to operate our refineries at lower utilization until sustained product demand justifies higher production. Our refineries ran higher in March 2021 in comparison to January 2021, reflecting the gradual improvement in market conditions. We expect near-term throughput to be in the 825,000 to 885,000 barrel per day range for our refining system. Despite the measures we have taken, we have been, and likely will continue to be, adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic for the foreseeable future. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and can provide no assurance that measures taken to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be effective.
We continue to adjust our operational plans to the evolving market conditions and continue to monitor and maintain lower operating expenses through significant reductions in discretionary activities and third-party services. We successfully reconfigured our East Coast Refining System to maintain the most profitable elements of two refineries while reducing costs and improving our competitive position. Our refining capital spending program for the first half of 2021 is expected to be approximately $150.0 million. Our overall market outlook for the second half of 2021 remains constructive, with continued gradual improvement in demand, and our full-year capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $400.0 million to $450.0 million. Should market conditions change from our current expectations, we expect that we will review our capital requirements and adjust as needed.

Factors Affecting Comparability Between Periods
Our results have been affected by the following events, the understanding of which will aid in assessing the comparability of our period to period financial performance and financial condition.

COVID-19 and Market Developments
The impact of the unprecedented global health and economic crisis sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic was amplified late in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 due to movements made by the world’s largest oil producers to increase market share. This created simultaneous shocks in oil supply and demand resulting in an economic challenge to our industry which has not occurred since our formation. This combination has resulted in significant demand reduction for our refined products and atypical volatility in oil commodity prices. Our results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 continued to be impacted by the sustained decreased demand for refined products which negatively impacts our revenues, cost of products sold, operating income and liquidity. Throughput rates across our refining system were decreased during the quarter and we currently continue to operate our refineries at reduced rates.
East Coast Refining Reconfiguration
On December 31, 2020, we completed the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration. As part of the reconfiguration process, we idled certain of our major processing units at the Paulsboro refinery, resulting in lower overall throughput and inventory levels in addition to decreases in capital and operating costs. Based on this reconfiguration, our East Coast throughput capacity is approximately 285,000 barrels per day.
Debt and Credit Facilities
Senior Notes Offering
On May 30, 2017,13, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes”). The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $982.9 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and PBF Financeoffering expenses. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $245.7 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds to fund the cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of our outstanding 8.25% senior secured notes due 2020 (the “2020 Senior Secured Notes”), to pay the related redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest for any 2020 Senior Secured Notes that remained outstanding after the completion of the Tender Offer, and for general corporate purposes. As described
On January 24, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion in “Note 5 - Debt”, uponaggregate principal amount of 6.00% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $987.0 million after deducting the satisfactioninitial purchasers’ discount and dischargeoffering expenses. We used $517.5 million of the 2020proceeds to fully redeem our 7.00% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Senior Secured Notes in connection withNotes”) and the closingbalance to fund a portion of the Tender Offer andcash consideration for the redemption, the 2023 Senior Notes became unsecured and certain covenants were modified, as provided for inMartinez Acquisition (as defined below).

We acquired the A&R Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, us and DCR relating to the Delaware City refinery extends the term to July 1, 2019, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to July 1, 2020.
Torrance Acquisition
On July 1, 2016, we acquired from ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (“ExxonMobil”) and its subsidiary, Mobil Pacific Pipeline Company (together, the “Torrance Sellers”), the TorranceMartinez refinery and related logistics assets (collectively, the “Torrancefrom Shell Oil Products on February 1, 2020 (the “Martinez Acquisition”). The Torrance refinery is strategically positioned in Southern California with advantaged logistics connectivity that offers flexible raw material sourcing and product distribution opportunities primarily in the California, Las Vegas and Phoenix area markets.
In addition to refining assets, the Torrance Acquisition included a number of high-quality logistics assets consisting of a sophisticated network of crude and products pipelines, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities. The most significant of the logistics assets is a 189-mile crude gathering and transportation system which delivers San Joaquin Valley crude oil directly from the field to the refinery. Additionally, included in the transaction were several pipelines which provide access to sources of crude oil including the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, as well as clean product outlets with a direct pipeline supplying jet fuel to the Los Angeles airport. The Torrance refinery also has crude and product storage facilities with approximately 8.6 million barrels of shell capacity.

PNGPC Contribution Agreement
On February 15, 2017, PBFX entered intoThe Martinez refinery is located on an 860-acre site in the City of Martinez, 30 miles northeast of San Francisco, California. The refinery is a contribution agreement (the “PNGPC Contribution Agreement”) between PBFX and PBF LLC. Pursuant to the PNGPC Contribution Agreement, we contributed to PBF LLC, which, in turn, contributed to PBFX’s wholly owned subsidiary PBFX Operating Company LLC (“PBFX Op Co”) allhigh-conversion 157,000 bpd, dual-coking facility with a Nelson Complexity Index of 16.1, making it one of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline Company LLC (“PNGPC”). PNGPC owns and operates an existing interstate natural gas pipeline that runs under the Delaware River and terminates at our Paulsboro refinery. In August 2017, PBFX Op Co completed the construction of a new pipeline which replaced the existing pipeline and commenced services. In consideration for the PNGPC limited liability company interests, PBFX delivered to PBF LLC (i) an $11.6 million intercompany promissory note in favor of Paulsboro Refining Company LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours (the “Promissory Note”), (ii) an expansion rights and right of first refusal agreement in favor of PBF LLC with respect to the new pipeline and (iii)

an assignment and assumption agreement with respect to certain outstanding litigation involving PNGPC and the existing pipeline.
Chalmette Storage Tank Lease
On February 15, 2017, we and PBFX Op Co entered into a ten-year storage services agreement (the “Chalmette Storage Agreement”) and a twenty-year lease for the premises upon which a new tank at the Chalmette refinery (the “Chalmette Storage Tank”) will be located (the “Lease”). Additionally, we and PBFX entered into a project management agreement (the “Project Management Agreement”) pursuant to which PBFX, through PBFX Op Co, assumed construction of a crude oil storage tank at our Chalmette refinery, commencing upon the earlier of November 1, 2017 or the completion of construction of the Chalmette Storage Tank, which is currently expected to be completed in November 2017. The Lease can be extended by PBFX Op Co for two additional ten year terms. The Chalmette Storage Agreement can be extended by us for two additional five-year periods. Under the Chalmette Storage Agreement, PBFX will provide us with storage services in return for storage fees. The storage services require PBFX to accept, redeliver and store all products tendered by usmost complex refineries in the tankUnited States. The facility is strategically positioned in Northern California and we will payprovides for operating and commercial synergies with the Torrance refinery located in Southern California. In addition to refining assets, the Martinez Acquisition includes a monthly feenumber of $0.60 per barrelhigh-quality onsite logistics assets including a deep-water marine facility, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities with approximately 8.8 million barrels of shell capacity. The Lease can be extended by PBFX Op Co for two additional ten year periods.
TVPC Contribution Agreement
On August 31, 2016, PBFX entered into a contribution agreement (the “TVPC Contribution Agreement”) between PBFX and PBF LLC. Pursuant to the TVPC Contribution Agreement, PBF Holding distributed to PBF LLC, and PBFX acquired from PBF LLC, 50% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Torrance Valley Pipeline Company LLC (“TVPC”), whose assets consist of the 189-mile San Joaquin Valley Pipeline system, including the M55, M1 and M70 pipeline system, including 11 pipeline stations with storage capability and truck unloading capacity at two of the stations. Subsequent to the distribution of TVPC pursuant to the TVPC Contribution Agreement, PBF Holding deconsolidated TVPC and has recognized an equity investment in TVPC for its 50% noncontrolling interest.
Agreements with PBFX
PBFX is a fee-based, growth-oriented, publicly traded Delaware master limited partnership formed by our indirect parent company, PBF Energy, to own or lease, operate, develop and acquire crude oil, refined petroleum products and natural gas terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX engages in the receiving, handling, storage and transferring of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and intermediates from sources located throughout the United States and Canada for PBF Energy in support of certain of our refineries, as well as for third partythird-party customers.

Amended and Restated Revolving Loan

The Third Amended and Restated Revolving Loan is available to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As noted in “Note 2 - Acquisitions”, we took down an advance under our Revolving Loan to partially fund the Torrance Acquisition in 2016. The outstanding balance under our Revolving Loan was $350.0 million, $350.0 million and $550.0 million as of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

Rail Facility Revolving Credit Facility
Effective March 25, 2014, PBF Rail Logistics Company LLC (“PBF Rail”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, entered into a $250.0 million secured revolving credit agreement (the “Rail Facility”). The primary purpose of the Rail Facility was to fund the acquisition by PBF Rail of crude tank cars (the “Eligible Railcars”) before December 2015.
On December 22, 2016, the Rail Facility was terminated and replaced with the PBF Rail Term Loan (as described below).
PBF Rail Term Loan
On December 22, 2016, PBF Rail entered into a $35.0 million term loan (the “PBF Rail Term Loan”) with a bank previously party to the Rail Facility. The PBF Rail Term Loan amortizes monthly over its five year term and bears interest at the one month LIBOR plus the margin as defined in the credit agreement. As security for the PBF Rail Term Loan, PBF Rail pledged, among other things: (i) certain Eligible Railcars; (ii) the debt service reserve account; and (iii) our member interest in PBF Rail. Additionally, the PBF Rail Term Loan contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for a transaction of this nature. PBF Rail may at any time repay the PBF Rail Term Loan without penalty in the event that railcars collateralizing the loan are sold, scrapped or otherwise removed from the collateral pool.
The outstanding balance of the PBF Rail Term Loan was $30.0 million and $35.0 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Affiliate notes payable with PBF LLC and PBF Energy
Our long-term debt obligations may include outstanding affiliate notes payable with PBF LLC and PBF Energy. The affiliate notes have an interest rate of 2.5% and a five year term but may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, at the option of PBF Holding, without penalty or premium. Additional borrowings may be made by PBF Holding under such affiliate notes payable from time to time. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the affiliate notes were extended to 2021. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2016, PBF LLC converted outstanding affiliate notes payable from PBF Holding of $379.9 million to a capital contribution. In the first quarter of 2017, PBF LLC converted the full amount of outstanding affiliate notes payable from PBF Holding of $86.3 million to a capital contribution. As of September 30, 2017, PBF Holding had no outstanding affiliate notes payable with PBF Energy and PBF LLC ($86.3 million outstanding as of December 31, 2016).
Change in Presentation
As discussed in “Note 1 - Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation,” during the third quarter of 2017, we determined that we would revise the presentation of certain line items on our consolidated statements of operations to enhance our disclosure under the requirements of Rule 5-03 of Regulation S-X. The revised presentation is comprised of the inclusion of a subtotal within costs and expenses referred to as “Cost of sales” and the reclassification of total depreciation and amortization expense between such amounts attributable to cost of sales and other operating costs and expenses. The amount of depreciation and amortization expense that is presented separately within the “Cost of Sales” subtotal represents depreciation and amortization of refining and logistics assets that are integral to the refinery production process.
The historical comparative information has been revised to conform to the current presentation. This revised presentation does not have an effect on our historical consolidated income from operations or net income, nor does it have any impact on our consolidated balance sheets, statements of comprehensive income or statements of cash flows.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2020
Overview— Net incomeloss was $526.1$56.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 compared to $65.1net loss of $1,474.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2020.
Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 were positively impacted by a special itemitems consisting of a non-cash lower of cost or market (“LCM”) inventory adjustment of approximately $265.1$405.6 million and were offset by a change in fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration of $29.5 million. Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2020 were positivelynegatively impacted by anspecial items consisting of a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $104.0$1,285.6 million and debt extinguishment costs associated with the early redemption of our 2023 Senior Notes of $22.2 million. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by the change in the fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration of $53.0 million. The LCM inventory adjustments were recorded due to movements in the price of crude oil and refined products in the periods presented.

Excluding the impact of these special items, our results were positivelycontinue to be negatively impacted by higherthe ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which has caused a significant decline in the demand for our refined products and a decrease in the prices for crude oil and refined products, both of which have negatively impacted our revenues, cost of products sold and operating income. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, we experienced unfavorable movements in certain crude oil differentials and overall lower throughput volumes atand barrels sold across the majority of our refineries, and higher crack spreads realized at each of our refineries, which were impacted by the hurricane-related reduction inas well as lower refining throughputmargins, despite stronger refining margins in the Gulf Coast region and tightening product inventories, specifically distillates. Notably, we benefited from the improved operating performance of our Chalmette and Torrance refineries.Mid-Continent.
Revenues— Revenues totaled $5.5$4.9 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 compared to $4.5$5.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increaseMarch 31, 2020, a decrease of approximately $1.0$0.4 billion, or 21.5%7.5%. Revenues per barrel were $63.75$67.31 and $62.32$57.70 for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016,2020, respectively, an increase of 2.3%16.7% directly related to higher hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 343,700242,800 bpd, 160,600117,200 bpd, 200,400153,800 bpd and 145,000231,700 bpd, respectively. For the

three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2020, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 315,900329,300 bpd, 165,30090,100 bpd, 165,600174,500 bpd and 139,500259,000 bpd, respectively. Our East Coast and Gulf Coast refineries’ throughput rates increased in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016 as a result of improved operational performance following the completion of planned turnarounds at our Delaware City and Chalmette refineries in the first and second quarters of 2017, respectively. Our West Coast refinery underwent its first major turnaround under our ownership for a majority of the second quarter in 2017, following which its throughput rates in the third quarter of 2017 were significantly above the same period of 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 359,700270,800 bpd, 167,300129,800 bpd, 233,400154,000 bpd and 173,300256,400 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2020, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 345,800365,300 bpd, 177,200131,300 bpd, 209,300213,800 bpd and 177,100291,400 bpd, respectively.
The throughput rates at the majority of our refineries were lower in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, slightly offset by higher rates in the Mid-Continent. We operated our refineries at reduced rates beginning in March 2020 and, based on current market conditions, we plan on continuing to operate our refineries at lower utilization until such time that sustained product demand justifies higher production. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside the refinery.our refineries.
Consolidated Gross Margin— GrossConsolidated gross margin including refinery operating expenses and depreciation, totaled $604.1$85.3 million or $7.73 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021, compared to $149.0$(1,386.3) million or $2.06 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2020, an increase of approximately $455.1$1,471.6 million. Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $1,064.0$650.2 million, or $13.61$9.70 per barrel of throughput ($798.9 million or $10.22 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items), for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 compared to $604.4$(773.4) million, or $8.36$(9.96) per barrel of throughput ($500.4 million or $6.92 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items) for the three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2020, an increase of approximately $459.7$1,423.6 million. Gross refining margin excluding special items totaled $244.6 million or $298.6 million excluding special items.
Excluding the impact$3.65 per barrel of special items, gross margin and gross refining margin increased due to improved crack spreads and higher throughput rates in the East Coast, Gulf Coast and West Coast and reduced costs to comply with the RFS. Costs to comply with our obligation under the RFS totaled $83.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 compared to $94.7$512.2 million or $6.60 per barrel of throughput for the three months ended September 30, 2016. In addition,March 31, 2020, a decrease of $267.6 million.
Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin were positively impacted by a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $265.1$405.6 million on a net basis resulting from anthe increase in crude oil and refined product prices in comparisonfrom the year ended 2020 to the prices at the end of the secondfirst quarter of 2017. The2021. Gross refining margin excluding the impact of special items decreased due to unfavorable movements in certain crude differentials, and an overall decrease in throughput rates and refining margins. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, special items impacting our margin calculations included a non-cash LCM adjustment increased gross margininventory charge of approximately $1,285.6 million on a net basis, resulting from a decrease in crude oil and gross refining marginrefined product prices.
Additionally, our results continue to be impacted by approximately $104.0significant costs to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. Total Renewable Fuel Standard compliance costs were $283.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 in comparison to $36.8 million for the third quarter of 2016.three months ended March 31, 2020.
Average industry refining margins in the Mid-Continent were strongermixed during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as comparedMarch 31, 2021 in comparison to the same period in 2016. The WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $18.82 per barrel, or 38.0% higher, in2020, primarily due to varying timing and extent of the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $13.64 per barrel inimpacts of the same period in 2016. Our margins were unfavorably impacted by our refinery specific crude slate in the Mid-Continent which was impacted by a declining WTI/Bakken differentialCOVID-19 pandemic on regional demand and a declining WTI/Syncrude differential, which averaged a premium of $1.95 per barrel during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a premium of $0.95 per barrel in the same period of 2016.commodity prices.
On the East Coast, the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $18.12 per barrel, or 40.0% higher, in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $12.94 per barrel in the same period in 2016. The Dated Brent/WTI differential and Dated Brent/Maya differential were $2.95 and $1.88 higher, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, partially offset by adverse movements in the WTI/Bakken differential, which was approximately $2.10 per barrel less favorable (a premium of $0.69 in 2017 as compared to a discount of $1.41 in 2016) in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

Crude differentials weakened with the WTI/LLS differential averaging a premium of $3.49


per barrel during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a premium of $1.65 per barrel in the same period of 2016.
Additionally, we benefited from improvements in the West Coast industry refining margins during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $20.66 per barrel, or 32.4% higher, in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $15.61 per barrel in the same period in 2016. Partially offsetting the improved crack spreads, crude differentials weakened with the WTI/ANS differential averaging a premium of $3.86 per barrel during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a discount of $0.23 per barrel in the same period of 2016.
Favorable movements in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in lower crude costs and positively impact our earnings while reductions in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in higher crude costs and negatively impact our earnings.
On the East Coast, the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $12.06 per barrel, or 21.1% higher, in the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $9.96 per barrel in the same period in 2020. Our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate on the East Coast by weakened Dated Brent/Maya and WTI/Bakken differentials, which decreased by $4.34 per barrel and $2.96 per barrel, respectively, in comparison to the same period in 2020. The WTI/WCS differential decreased to $12.01 per barrel in 2021 compared to $16.85 in 2020, which unfavorably impacted our cost of heavy Canadian crude.
Across the Mid-Continent, the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $11.56 per barrel, or 56.9% higher, in the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $7.37 per barrel in the same period in 2020. Our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate in the Mid-Continent by a decreasing WTI/Bakken differential, which averaged $0.50 per barrel in the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $3.46 per barrel in the same period in 2020. Additionally, the WTI/Syncrude differential averaged $0.97 per barrel during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $1.80 per barrel in the same period of 2020.
On the Gulf Coast, the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was $12.05 per barrel, or 15.6% higher, in the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $10.42 per barrel in the same period in 2020. Margins on the Gulf Coast were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a strengthening WTI/LLS differential, which averaged a premium of $2.13 per barrel during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to a premium of $2.25 per barrel in the same period of 2020.
On the West Coast, the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $15.75 per barrel, or 17.9% higher, in the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $13.36 per barrel in the same period in 2020. Additionally (West Coast) 3-2-1 industry crack spread was $12.92 per barrel, or 33.9% higher, in the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $9.65 per barrel in the same period in 2020. Our margins on the West Coast were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a strengthening WTI/ANS differential, which averaged a premium of $2.94 per barrel during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to a premium of $5.51 per barrel in the same period of 2020.
Operating Expenses— Operating expenses totaled $389.6$460.2 million, or $4.98$6.86 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 compared to $404.0$507.5 million, or $5.59$6.54 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2020, a decrease of $14.5approximately $47.3 million, or 3.6%9.3%. The decreaseDecreases in operating expenses waswere mainly attributable to lower outside services costs ascost reductions associated with the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration (East Coast operating expenses decreased by $41.9 million when compared to the same period in 2016 across all2020). The decrease in total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, is in line with our cost reduction initiatives taken to strengthen our financial flexibility and offset the negative impact of our refineries partially offset by higher maintenance costs due to increased throughput.COVID-19. Such initiatives, aside from the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, also include significant reductions in discretionary activities and third-party services.

The increasedecrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 over the same period of 2016 primarily relates to increasesMarch 31, 2021 in employee related expenses of $21.5 million driven by higher incentive compensation in the third quarter of 2017 as comparedcomparison to the third quarter of 2016. This increase was partially offset bythree months ended March 31, 2020 primarily related to reductions in outside service costs and lower costs associated with acquisitionsalaries wages and integration related activities which were $7.0 million lower in the current quarter as compared to the same quarter of 2016.benefits. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of the personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries.
LossGain on Sale of Assets— There was a de minimis loss on salegain of assets$0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 relatingMarch 31, 2021 related primarily to non-operating refinery assets compared to a loss of $8.2 million on the sale of non-operating refinery assetsassets. There was no such gain for the three months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2020.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $72.9$108.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 (including $70.3$104.7 million recorded within Cost of sales) compared to $52.7$108.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2020 (including $51.3$105.4 million recorded within Cost of sales), an increasea decrease of $20.2approximately $0.2 million. The increasedecrease was a result of additionalreduced depreciation and amortization expense associated with certain idled units as a general increaseresult of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration.
Change in our fixed asset base dueFair Value of Contingent Consideration— Change in fair value of contingent consideration represented a loss of $29.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 in comparison to capital projectsa gain of $53.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. These losses and turnarounds completed sincegains represent the third quarter 2016, includingchanges in estimated fair value of the first significant turnaround under our ownership at our Torrance refinery, which was completed early in the third quarter of 2017.Martinez Contingent Consideration associated with acquisition related earn-out obligations.
Change in Fair Value of Catalyst LeasesObligations— Change in the fair value of catalyst leasesobligations represented a gainloss of $0.5$10.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 compared to a gain of $0.1$11.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2020. These losses and gains relate to the change in value of the precious metals underlying the sale and leaseback of our refineries’ precious metals catalyst,metal catalysts, which we are obligated to repurchase at fair market value onupon lease termination.
Debt Extinguishment Costs— We incurred debt extinguishment costs of $22.2 million in the lease termination dates.three months ended March 31, 2020 related to the early redemption of our 2023 Senior Notes. There were no such costs in the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Interest Expense, net— Interest expense totaled $29.3$69.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 compared to $33.9$36.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decreaseMarch 31, 2020, an increase of approximately $4.6$33.1 million. This net decreaseincrease is primarilymainly attributable to lowerhigher interest expense on a portioncosts associated with the issuance of our senior notes that were refinancedthe 2025 Senior Secured Notes in May 2017 (see “Note 5 - Debt” for additional details).2020 and December 2020. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt, and notes payable, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metals catalyst,metal catalysts, financing

costs associated with the A&RInventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils and the amortization of deferred financing costs.
Income Tax Expense— As PBF Holding is a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, our consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements generally do not include a benefit or provisionexpense for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2016,March 31, 2020, respectively, apart from the income tax attributable to two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the acquisition of the Chalmette Acquisitionrefinery in the fourth quarter of 2015 and our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, PBF Energy Limited (“PBF Ltd.”Ltd”). The twoThese subsidiaries acquired in connection with the Chalmette Acquisition are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes.
We incurred a net An income tax benefit of $4.3$10.6 million and income tax expense of $2.3 millionwas recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, reflecting a net loss from our taxable subsidiariesMarch 31, 2021 in comparison to an income tax expense of $14.2 million recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to net earnings from our taxable subsidiaries in the three months ended September 30, 2016.
Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, 2017 ComparedMarch 31, 2020, primarily attributable to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016results of PBF Ltd.
Overview— Net income was $255.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to$148.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were net positively impacted by special items. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred a positive special item in the form of a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $97.9 million, which was partially offset by a special item related to debt extinguishment costs associated with the early retirement of our 2020 Senior Secured Notes of $25.5 million. Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were positively impacted by an LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $320.8 million. The LCM inventory adjustments were recorded due to movements in the price of crude oil and refined products in the periods presented. Excluding the impact of these special items, our results were positively impacted by higher throughput volumes at the majority of our refineries and higher crack spreads realized at each of our refineries, which were impacted by the hurricane-related reduction in refining throughput in the Gulf Coast region and tightening product inventories, specifically distillates, as well as lower costs to comply with the RFS. Notably, we benefited from the improved operating performance of our Chalmette and Torrance refineries.

Revenues— Revenues totaled $15.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $11.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of approximately $4.1 billion, or 36.5%. Revenues per barrel were $62.34 and $57.25 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 8.9% directly related to higher hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 330,100 bpd, 146,500 bpd, 182,600 bpd and 126,900 bpd, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 327,900 bpd, 165,700 bpd, 171,300 bpd and 139,600 bpd, respectively. The throughput rates at our East Coast refineries were substantially unchanged in 2017 compared to 2016. Our West Coast refinery was not acquired until the beginning of the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in throughput rates at our West Coast refinery in 2017 compared to 2016 is primarily due to planned downtime at our Torrance refinery for its first significant turnaround under our ownership, which was completed early in the third quarter of 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 358,000 bpd, 160,600 bpd, 221,700 bpd and 155,200 bpd, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 366,000 bpd, 175,700 bpd, 209,000 bpd and 177,100 bpd, respectively. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside the refinery.

Gross Margin— Gross margin, including refinery operating expenses and depreciation, totaled $506.6 million, or $2.36 per barrel of throughput, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $405.9

million, or $2.09 per barrel of throughput, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $100.7 million. Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $1,912.9 million, or $8.91 per barrel of throughput ($1,814.9 million or $8.46 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items), for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1,529.6 million, or $7.85 per barrel of throughput ($1,208.7 million or $6.20 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of approximately $383.3 million or $606.2 million excluding special items.
Excluding the impact of special items, gross margin and gross refining margin increased due to improved crack spreads for each of our refineries, reduced costs to comply with the RFS and positive margin contributions from our Torrance refinery following its first significant turnaround under our ownership, which was completed early in the third quarter of 2017. Costs to comply with our obligation under the RFS totaled $203.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $251.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. In addition, gross margin and gross refining margin were positively impacted by a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $97.9 million on a net basis resulting from an increase in crude oil and refined product prices in comparison to the prices at year end. The non-cash LCM inventory adjustment increased gross margin and gross refining margin by approximately $320.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Average industry refining margins in the Mid-Continent were stronger during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $14.70 per barrel, or 12.5% higher, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $13.07 per barrel in the same period in 2016. Our margins were unfavorably impacted by our refinery specific crude slate in the Mid-Continent which was impacted by a declining WTI/Bakken differential partially offset by an improving WTI/Syncrude differential, which averaged a premium of $1.86 per barrel during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a premium of $2.67 per barrel in the same period of 2016.
On the East Coast, the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $14.84 per barrel, or 12.6% higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $13.18 per barrel in the same period in 2016. The Dated Brent/Maya differential was $0.80 lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The Dated Brent/WTI differential was $1.83 higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, partially offset by a narrowing WTI/Bakken differential, which was approximately $0.95 per barrel less favorable in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.
Gulf Coast industry refining margins improved during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was $13.75 per barrel, or 32.9% higher, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $10.35 per barrel in the same period in 2016. Crude differentials slightly decreased with the WTI/LLS differential averaging a premium of $2.41 per barrel during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a premium of $1.79 per barrel in the same period of 2016.
Additionally, we benefited from improvements in the West Coast industry refining margins during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $18.78 per barrel, or 9.1% higher, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $17.22 per barrel in the same period in 2016. Partially offsetting the improved crack spreads, crude differentials weakened with the WTI/ANS differential averaging a premium of $2.82 per barrel during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a premium of $0.17 per barrel in the same period of 2016. As the Torrance refinery was not acquired until the beginning of the third quarter of 2016, we did not benefit from the contribution of this refinery for the full nine months of the prior year.
Favorable movements in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in lower crude costs and positively impact our earnings while reductions in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in higher crude costs and negatively impact our earnings.

Operating Expenses— Operating expenses totaled $1,225.0 million, or $5.71 per barrel of throughput, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $972.2 million, or $4.98 per barrel of throughput, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $252.8 million, or 26.0%. The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to an increase of $237.3 million in costs associated with the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, excluding our Torrance refinery, increased due to higher maintenance and utility costs across all our other refineries.
General and Administrative Expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $130.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $111.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of approximately $18.8 million or 16.9%. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 over the same period of 2016 primarily relates to increased employee related expenses of $28.3 million driven by higher incentive compensation costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 as well as higher employee headcount. These increases were partially offset by lower costs associated with the acquisition and integration related activities which were approximately $10.1 million lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of the personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries.
Loss on Sale of Assets— There was a loss of $0.9 million on sale of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 relating to non-operating refinery assets as compared to a loss of $11.4 million on the sale of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 relating to the sale of non-operating refinery assets.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $191.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (including $181.2 million recorded within Cost of sales) compared to $155.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 (including $151.5 million recorded within Cost of sales), an increase of approximately $35.7 million. The increase was a result of additional depreciation expense associated with the assets acquired in the Torrance Acquisition and a general increase in our fixed asset base due to capital projects and turnarounds completed since the third quarter of 2016.
Change in Fair Value of Catalyst Leases— Change in the fair value of catalyst leases represented a loss of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a loss of $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These losses relate to the change in value of the precious metals underlying the sale and leaseback of our refineries’ precious metals catalyst, which we are obligated to repurchase at fair market value on the lease termination dates.
Debt extinguishment costs - Debt extinguishment costs of $25.5 million incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 relate to nonrecurring charges associated with debt refinancing activity calculated based on the difference between the carrying value of the 2020 Senior Secured Notes on the date that they were reacquired and the amount for which they were reacquired. There were no such costs in the same period of 2016.
Interest Expense, net— Interest expense totaled $92.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $98.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately $5.7 million. This net decrease is attributable to lower interest expense on a portion of our senior notes that were refinanced in May 2017 (see “Note 5 - Debt” for additional details). Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt and notes payable, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metals catalyst, financing costs associated with the A&R Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils, and the amortization of deferred financing costs.
Income Tax Expense— As PBF Holding is a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, our consolidated financial statements generally do not include a benefit or provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, apart from the income tax attributable to two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the Chalmette Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2015 and our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, PBF Ltd.. The two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the Chalmette Acquisition are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes.

Income tax expense was $2.0 million and $29.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included a charge of $30.7 million related to a correction of prior periods.

Measures.
EBITDA, EBITDA Excluding Special Items and Adjusted EBITDA
Our management uses EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization), EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to readily view operating trends, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations, and in communications with our board of directors, creditors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance. Our outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money and other contractual obligations also include similar measures as a basis for certain covenants under those agreements which may differ from the Adjusted EBITDA definition described below.
EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and our computation of EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in our industry. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA contains some, but not all, adjustments that are taken into account in the calculation of the components of various covenants in the agreements governing our senior notes and other credit facilities. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to operating income (loss)from operations or net income (loss) as measures of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA are not presented as, and should not be considered, an alternative to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before adjustments for items such as equity-basedstock-based compensation expense, gains (losses) from certain derivative activities and contingent consideration, the non-cash change in the deferralfair value of gross profit related to the sale of certain finished products,catalyst obligations, the write down of inventory to the LCM, and debt extinguishment costs related to refinancing activities.activities, change in the fair value of contingent consideration and certain other non-cash items. Other companies, including other companies in our
45


industry, may calculate EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA also have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include that EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA:
do not reflect depreciation expense or our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
do not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
do not reflect realized and unrealized gains and losses from certain hedging activities, which may have a substantial impact on our cash flow;
do not reflect certain other non-cash income and expenses; and
exclude income taxes that may represent a reduction in available cash.
The following tables reconcile net income (loss) as reflected in our results of operations to EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented (in thousands)millions):

Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following notes are applicable to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures above:
(1)Special items: In accordance with GAAP, we are required to state our inventories at the lower of cost or market. Our inventory cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory valuation methodology, in which the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost of sales and inventories are valued at base layer acquisition costs. Market is determined based on an assessment of the current estimated replacement cost and net realizable selling price of the inventory. In periods where the market price of our inventory declines substantially, cost values of inventory may exceed market values. In such instances, we record an adjustment to write down the value of inventory to market value in accordance with GAAP. In subsequent periods, the value of inventory is reassessed and an LCM inventory adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between the prior period and the current period.
(1)Special items:
LCM inventory adjustment - LCM is a GAAP requirement related to inventory valuation that mandates inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or market. Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory valuation methodology, in which the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost of sales and inventories are valued at base layer acquisition costs. Market is determined based on an assessment of the current estimated replacement cost and net realizable selling price of the inventory. In periods where the market price of our inventory declines substantially, cost values of inventory may exceed market values. In such instances, we record an adjustment to write down the value of inventory to market value in accordance with GAAP. In subsequent periods, the value of inventory is reassessed and an LCM inventory adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between the prior period and the current period. The net impact of these LCM inventory adjustments are included in income from operations, but are excluded from the operating results presented, as applicable, in order to make such information comparable between periods.

Additionally, during
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration - During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, we recorded a change in fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Martinez Contingent Consideration which decreased income from operations and net income by $29.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a change in the fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Martinez Contingent Consideration which increase income from operations and net income by $53.0 million.
Debt Extinguishment Costs - During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded debt extinguishment costs of $25.5$22.2 million related to the redemption of the 20202023 Senior Secured Notes. This nonrecurring charge decreased both operating income and net income by $25.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. There were no such costs in the three months ended September 30, 2017 nor in either the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
OurTypically our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability under our credit facilities,Revolving Credit Facility, as described below; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related governmental and consumer responses, our business and results of operations are being negatively impacted. The worldwide economic slowdown and governmental responses, including travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders, have resulted in a significant decrease in the demand for and market prices of our products. We continue to be focused on assessing and adapting to the challenging operating environment and evaluating our strategic measures to preserve liquidity and strengthen our balance sheet. Our response to the current economic environment and its impact on our liquidity is more fully described in the “Liquidity” section below. We believe that our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our and our subsidiaries’ capital expenditure, working capital, distribution payments and debt service requirements for the next twelve months. However, our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations depends, in part, on petroleum oil market pricing and general economic, political and other factors beyond our control. We are in compliance as of September 30, 2017 with all of the covenants, including financial covenants, in all of our debt agreements.

Debt and Credit Facility
Revolving Credit Facility
The Revolving Credit Facility has a maximum commitment available to us of $3.4 billion and matures in May 2023. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at the Adjusted London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the Applicable Margin, all as defined in the agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). In addition, an accordion feature allows for commitments of up to $3.5 billion.
On February 18, 2020, in connection with the entry into a $300.0 million uncommitted receivables purchase facility (the “Receivables Facility”), we amended the Revolving Credit Facility and entered into a related intercreditor agreement to allow us to sell certain Eligible Receivables, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, derived from the sale of $11.5 million.refined products over truck racks. Under the Receivables Facility, we sell such receivables to a bank subject to bank approval and certain conditions. The sales of receivables under the Receivables Facility are absolute and irrevocable but subject to certain repurchase obligations under certain circumstances.
On May 7, 2020, we further amended the Revolving Credit Facility, to increase our ability to incur certain secured debt from an amount equal to 10% of our total assets to 20% of our total assets.
Senior Notes
On January 24, 2020, we entered into an indenture among our wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Finance (together with us, the “Issuers”), the guarantors named therein (collectively the “Guarantors”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, under which the Issuers issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $987.0 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds primarily to fully redeem the 2023 Senior Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest, on February 14, 2020, and to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Martinez Acquisition.
49


On May 13, 2020, we entered into an indenture among the Issuers, the Guarantors, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent, Authenticating Agent and Notes Collateral Agent, under which the Issuers issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $982.9 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. On December 21, 2020, we issued $250.0 million, in a tack-on offering, in aggregate principal amount of the additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $245.7 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
We are in compliance as of March 31, 2021 with all covenants, including financial covenants, in all of our debt agreements.
Liquidity
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact our liquidity. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, our total liquidity was approximately $1,173.5 million, compared to total liquidity of approximately $1,161.3 million$2.3 billion ($2.3 billion as of December 31, 2016. Total2020) based on $1.5 billion of cash, and approximately $0.8 billion of availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. Our total liquidity isincludes the sumamount of excess availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, which includes our cash on hand.
Due to the unprecedented events caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the negative impact it has caused to our liquidity, we executed a plan to strengthen our balance sheet and increase our flexibility and responsiveness by incorporating certain adjustments to our operations and cost saving measures, including the following items in the current year:
On December 31, 2020, we completed the operational reconfiguration of our cashEast Coast Refining System comprised of our Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries. The reconfiguration resulted in the temporary idling of certain Paulsboro refinery units and overall lower throughput and inventory levels. Annual operating and capital expenditures savings are expected to be approximately $100.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, relative to average historic levels;
Implemented cost reduction and cash equivalentspreservation initiatives, including a significant decrease in 2021 planned capital expenditures, lowering 2021 operating expenses driven by minimizing discretionary activities and third-party services; and
Continued the temporary suspension of PBF Energy’s quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share, anticipated to preserve approximately $35.0 million of cash each quarter, to support the balance sheet.
We are actively responding to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing rebalancing in the global oil markets. We adjusted our operational plans to the evolving market conditions and continue to target and execute the expense reduction measures.
50


While it is impossible to estimate the duration or complete financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that the strategic actions we have taken, plus our cash flows from operations and available capital resources, will be sufficient to meet our and our subsidiaries’ capital expenditures, working capital needs, and debt service requirements, for the estimated amountnext twelve months. We cannot assure you that our assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements will be correct because the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on us and our industry is ongoing and unprecedented. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity will depend largely on future developments, including the severity, location and duration of the outbreak, the effectiveness of the vaccine programs and other actions undertaken by national, regional and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effects, and how quickly and to what extent economic conditions improve and normal business and operating conditions resume in the remainder of 2021 or thereafter. As a result, we may require additional capital, and, from time to time, may pursue funding strategies in the capital markets or through private transactions to strengthen our liquidity and/or fund strategic initiatives. Such additional financing may not be available underat favorable terms or at all.
We may incur additional indebtedness in the Revolving Loan.

future, including additional secured indebtedness, subject to the satisfaction of any debt incurrence and, if applicable, lien incurrence limitation covenants in our existing financing agreements. Although we were in compliance with incurrence covenants during the three months ended March 31, 2021, to the extent that any of our activities triggered these covenants, there are no assurances that conditions could not change significantly, and that such changes could adversely impact our ability to meet some of these incurrence covenants at the time that we needed to. Failure to meet the incurrence covenants could impose certain incremental restrictions on, among other matters, our ability to incur new debt (including secured debt) and also may limit the extent to which we make new investments or incur new liens.
Working Capital
Our working capital at September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 was $1,106.1$1,294.4 million, consisting of $3,403.3$4,810.0 million in total current assets and $2,297.2$3,515.6 million in total current liabilities. Our working capital at December 31, 20162020 was $1,111.0$1,265.4 million, consisting of $3,154.3$3,819.1 million in total current assets and $2,043.3$2,553.7 million in total current liabilities. Working capital has decreased primarily as a result of capital expenditures, including turnaround costs, partially offset by earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Capital Spending
Net capitalCapital spending was $583.9$59.2 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, which primarily included turnaround costs associated with safety related enhancements and facility improvements at our refineries. Due to current challenging market conditions, we have taken strategic steps to increase our flexibility and responsiveness, including the refineries.near-term reduction of planned capital expenditures. We currently expect to spend an aggregate of approximately $600.0$400.0 million to $450.0 million in net refining capital expenditures during the full year 20172021 for facility improvements, and refinery maintenance and turnarounds with the majorityintention of which have been completed as of September 30, 2017. Significantsatisfying all required safety, environmental and regulatory capital spending for the full year 2017 has included turnarounds for the FCC at our Delaware City refinery, several major process units at our Torrance refinery and the Chalmette refinery’s crude and ancillary units, as well as expenditures to meet Tier 3 requirements.commitments.

Crude and Feedstock Supply Agreements
Certain of our purchases of crude oil under our agreements with foreign national oil companies require that we post letters of credit, if open terms are exceeded, and arrange for shipment. We pay for the crude when invoiced, at which time theany applicable letters of credit are lifted. OurWe have a contract with Saudi Arabian Oil Company (“Saudi Aramco”) pursuant to which we have been purchasing up to approximately 100,000 bpd of crude and feedstockoil from Saudi Aramco that is processed at our Paulsboro refinery. In connection with the acquisition of the Chalmette refinery we entered into a contract with Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (“PDVSA”) for the supply agreements with PDVSA provide that theof 40,000 to 60,000 bpd of crude oil that can be processed at any of our East andor Gulf Coast refineries. We have not sourced crude oil under this agreement since 2017 when PDVSA suspended deliveries due to the parties’ inability to agree to mutually acceptable payment terms and because of U.S. government sanctions against PDVSA. Notwithstanding the suspension, the U.S. government sanctions imposed against PDVSA and Venezuela prevented us from purchasing crude oil under this agreement. In connection with the closing of the acquisition of the Torrance Acquisition,refinery, we entered into a crude supply agreement with ExxonMobil to deliverfor approximately 60,000 bpd of crude oil tothat can be processed at our Torrance refinery. We currently purchase all of our crude and feedstock needs independently from a variety of suppliers on the spot market or through term agreements for our Delaware City and Toledo refineries.
We have entered into various five-year crude supply agreements with Shell Oil Products for approximately 145,000 bpd, in the aggregate, to support our West Coast and Mid-Continent refinery operations. In addition, we have entered into certain offtake agreements for our West Coast system with the same counterparty for clean products with varying terms up to 15 years.
Inventory Intermediation Agreements
On May 4, 2017 and September 8, 2017, we and our subsidiaries, DCR and PRC,We entered into amendments to the A&RInventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, pursuant to which certain termssupport the operations of the existing inventory intermediation agreements were amended, including, among other things, pricing and an extension of the terms. As a result of the amendments (i) the A&REast Coast Refining System. The Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, usPBF Holding and PRC relatingDelaware City Refining Company LLC (“DCR”) expires on June 30, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to theJune 30, 2022.

Aron, us and DCR relating to the Delaware City refinery extends the term to July 1, 2019, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to July 1, 2020.
Pursuant to each A&R Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron continues to purchase and hold title to certain of the intermediate and finished products (the “Products”) produced by the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries (the “Refineries”), respectively, and delivered into tanks at the Refineries. Furthermore, J. Aron agrees to sell the Products back to the Refineries as the Products are discharged out of the Refineries’ tanks. J. Aron has the right to store the Products purchased in tanksinventories outstanding under the A&RInventory Intermediation Agreements and will retain these storage rights forat that time. We intend to either extend or replace the term of the agreements. We continueInventory Intermediation Agreements prior to market and sell independently to third parties.their expirations.

Distribution Policy
On November 2, 2017 PBF Energy, PBF Holding’s indirect parent, announced a dividend of $0.30 per share on outstanding Class A common stock. The dividendIn cases when there is payable on November 29, 2017 to Class A common stockholders of record at the close of business on November 13, 2017. If necessary, PBF Holding will make a distribution of up to approximately $34.2 million to PBF LLC, which in turn will make pro-rata distributions of $0.30 per unit to its members, including PBF Energy. PBF Energy will then use this distribution to fund the dividend payments to the stockholders of PBF Energy.

As of September 30, 2017, we had $1,173.5 million of unused borrowing availability, which includes our cash and cash equivalents of $241.7 million, under the Revolving Loan to fund our operations, if necessary. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2017, there was sufficient cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity, under our credit facilities available to make distributions to PBF LLC, in order for PBF LLC, if necessary, to make pro rata distributions to its members, including PBF Energy, necessary to fund in excess of one year’s cash dividend payments by PBF Energy.
Since, as described above, there was sufficient cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2017, we would have beenare permitted under our debt agreements to make these distributions; however, our ability to continue to comply with our debt covenants is, to a significant degree, subject to our operating results, which are dependent on a number of factors outside of our control.
We believemake, from time to time, distributions to PBF LLC, if necessary, in order for PBF LLC to make pro rata distributions to its members, including PBF Energy, necessary to fund in excess of one year’s cash dividend payments by PBF Energy. In response to the adverse impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, PBF Energy, among other things, suspended its quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share. While it is impossible to estimate the duration or ultimate financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we will continue to monitor and evaluate our distribution policy as market conditions develop and our subsidiaries’ available cashbusiness outlook becomes clearer.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks, including changes in commodity prices and interest rates. Our primary commodity price risk is associated with the difference between the prices we sell our refined products and the prices we pay for crude oil and other feedstocks. We may use derivative instruments to manage the risks from changes in the prices of crude oil and refined products, natural gas, interest rates, or to capture market opportunities.
Commodity Price Risk
Our earnings, cash flow and liquidity are significantly affected by a variety of factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, other feedstocks, refined products and natural gas. The supply of and demand for these commodities depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, planned and unplanned downtime in refineries, pipelines and production facilities, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive and alternative fuels, and the extent of government regulation. As a result, the prices of these commodities can be volatile. Our revenues fluctuate significantly with movements in industry refined product prices, our cost of sales fluctuates significantly with movements in crude oil and feedstock prices and our operating expenses fluctuate with movements in the price of natural gas. We manage our exposure to these commodity price risks through our supply and offtake agreements as well as through the use of various commodity derivative instruments.
We may use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of crude oil and feedstocks, finished products and natural gas outside of our supply and offtake agreements. The derivative instruments we use include physical commodity contracts and exchange-traded and over-the-counter financial instruments. We mark-to-market our commodity derivative instruments and recognize the changes in their fair value in our statements of operations.
The negative impact of the unprecedented global health and economic crisis sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with uncertainty around future output levels of the world’s largest oil producers has increased unpredictability in oil supply and demand resulting in an economic challenge to our industry which has not occurred since our formation. This combination has resulted in significant reduction in demand for our refined products and abnormal volatility in oil commodity prices, which may continue for the foreseeable future.
At September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, we had gross open commodity derivative contracts representing 45.722.1 million barrels and 8.810.0 million barrels, respectively, with an unrealized net gain of $2.5 million and net loss of $5.0 million and $3.5$3.0 million, respectively. The open commodity derivative contracts as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 expire at various times during 2017 and 2018.2021.
We carry inventories of crude oil, intermediates and refined products (“hydrocarbon inventories”) on our balance sheet,Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the values of which are subject to fluctuations in market prices. Our hydrocarbon inventories totaled approximately 35.131.4 million barrels and 29.428.2 million barrels at September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, respectively. The average cost of our hydrocarbon inventories was approximately $77.17$77.66 and $80.50$78.64 per barrel on a LIFO basis at September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, respectively, excluding the net impact of LCM inventory adjustments of approximately $498.0$264.0 million and $596.0$669.6 million, respectively. If market prices of our inventory decline to a level below our average cost, we may be required to further write down the carrying value of our hydrocarbon inventories to market.
55


Our predominant variable operating cost is energy, which is comprised primarily of natural gas and electricity. We are therefore sensitive to movements in natural gas prices. Assuming normal operating conditions, we annually consume a total of approximately 68expect our annual consumption to range from 75 million to 97 million MMBTUs of natural gas in total amongst our five refineries as of September 30, 2017.six refineries. Accordingly, a $1.00 per MMBTU change in natural gas prices would increase or decrease our natural gas costs by approximately $68.0$75.0 million to $97.0 million.

Compliance Program Price Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory compliance programs, which includes RINs, required to comply with the RFS.Renewable Fuel Standard. Our overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of our domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by the EPA.Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RINs obligation, we must purchase RINs on the open market. To mitigate the impact of this risk on our results of operations and cash flows we may purchase RINs or other environmental credits when the price of these instruments is deemed favorable.
In addition, we are exposed to risks associated with complying with federal and state legislative and regulatory measures to address greenhouse gas and other emissions. Requirements to reduce emissions could result in increased costs to operate and maintain our facilities as well as implement and manage new emission controls and programs put in place. For example, AB32 in California requiresSeptember 2016, the state of California enacted Senate Bill 32, which further reduces greenhouse gas emissions targets to reduce its GHG emissions to40% below 1990 levels by 2020.2030. Compliance with such emission standards may require the purchase of emission credits or similar instruments.
Certain of these compliance contracts or instruments qualify as derivative instruments. We generally elect the normal purchase normal sale exception under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, for such instruments, and therefore do not record these contracts at their fair value.
Interest Rate Risk
The maximum availabilitycommitment under our Revolving LoanCredit Facility is $2.64$3.4 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving LoanCredit Facility bear interest either at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin, all as defined in the Revolving Loan.Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2021, we had $900.0 million outstanding in variable interest debt. If this facility was fully drawn, a 1.0% change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $26.4$24.1 million annually.
In addition, the PBF Rail Term Loan, which bears interest at a variable rate, had an outstanding principal balance of $30.0 million at September 30, 2017. A 1.0% change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $0.3 million annually, assuming the current outstanding principal balance on the PBF Rail Term Loan remained outstanding.
We also have interest rate exposure in connection with our A&RInventory Intermediation Agreements under which we pay a time value of money charge based on LIBOR.
Credit Risk
We are subject to risk of losses resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our counterparties. We continue to closely monitor the creditworthiness of customers to whom we grant credit and establish credit limits in accordance with our credit policy.

We continually monitor our market risk exposure, including the impact and developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic which has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On July 24, 2013,December 28, 2016, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (“DNREC”) issued a Notice of Administrative Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order to Delaware City Refining for alleged air emission violations that occurred during the re-start of the refinery in 2011 and subsequent to the re-start. The penalty assessment seeks $460,200 in penalties and $69,030 in cost recovery for DNREC’s expenses associated with investigation of the incidents. We dispute the amount of the penalty assessment and allegations made in the order, and are in discussions with DNREC to resolve the assessment. It is possible that DNREC will assess a penalty in this matter but any such amount is not expected to be material to us.
As of November 1, 2015, we acquired Chalmette Refining, which was in discussions with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (“LDEQ”) to resolve self-reported deviations from refinery operations relating to certain Clean Air Act Title V permit conditions, limits and other requirements. LDEQ commenced an enforcement action against Chalmette Refining on November 14, 2014 by issuing a Consolidated Compliance Order and Notice of Potential Penalty (the “Order”) covering deviations from 2009 and 2010. Chalmette Refining and LDEQ subsequently entered into a dispute resolution agreement, the enforcement of which has been suspended while negotiations are ongoing, which may include the resolution of deviations outside the periods covered by the Order. In February 2017, Chalmette Refining and the LDEQ met to resolve the issues under the Order, including the assessment of an administrative penalty against Chalmette Refining. Chalmette Refining and the LDEQ are negotiating a settlement agreement with administrative penalties of approximately $0.7 million. Once the settlement agreement is finalized, it is subject to circulated for notice and public comment for a 45-day period and must undergo a review by the Louisiana attorney general’s office.
On December 23, 2016, the Delaware City refinery received a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) from DNREC concerning a potential violation of the DNREC order authorizing the shipment of crude oil by barge from the refinery. The NOV alleges that DCR made shipments to locations other than the Paulsboro refinery in violation of the order and requests certain additional information. On February 7, 2017, DCR responded to the NOV. On March 10, 2017, DNREC issued an approximately $0.2 million fine in a Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order to the Delaware City refinery for violating the 2013 Secretary’s Order. DNREC determined that the Delaware City refinery had violated the order by failing to make timely and full disclosure to DNREC about the nature and extent of those shipments, and had misrepresented the number of shipments that went to other facilities. The penalty assessment and Secretary’s Order conclude that the 2013 Secretary’s Order was violated by the refinery by shipping crude oil from the Delaware City terminal to three locations other than the Paulsboro refinery, on 15 days in 2014, making a total of 17 separate barge shipments containing approximately 35.7 million gallons of crude oil in total. On April 28, 2017, DCR appealed the Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order. The hearing of the appeal is scheduled for February 2018. To the extent that the penalty and Secretary’s Order are upheld, there will not be a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On December 28, 2016, DNREC issued a Coastal Zone Act permit for the ethanol project (the “Ethanol Permit”) to DCR allowing the utilization of existing tanks and existing marine loading equipment at their existing facilities to enable denatured ethanol to be loaded from storage tanks to marine vessels and shipped to offsite facilities. On January 13, 2017, the issuance of the Ethanol Permit was appealed by two environmental groups. On February 27, 2017, the Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board (the “Coastal Zone Board”) held a public hearing and dismissed the appeal, determining that the appellants did not have standing. The final opinion and order of the Board was issued March 16, 2017. The appellants filed an appeal of the Coastal Zone Board’s decision with the Delaware Superior Court (the “Superior Court”) on March 30, 2017. On January 19, 2018, the Superior Court rendered an Opinion regarding the decision of the Coastal Zone Board to dismiss the appeal of the Ethanol Permit for the ethanol project. The filingjudge determined that the record created by the Coastal Zone Board was insufficient for the Superior Court to make a decision, and therefore remanded the case back to the Coastal Zone Board to address the deficiency in the record. Specifically, the Superior Court directed the Coastal Zone Board to address any evidence concerning whether the appellants’ claimed injuries would be affected by the increased quantity of briefs has beenethanol shipments. On remand, the Coastal Zone Board met on January 28, 2019 and reversed its previous decision on standing ruling that the appellants have standing to appeal the issuance of the Ethanol Permit. The parties to the action filed a joint motion with the Coastal Zone Board, requesting that the Coastal Zone Board concur with the parties’ proposal to secure from the Superior Court confirmation that all rights and claims are preserved for any subsequent appeal to the Superior Court, and that the matter then be scheduled for Octobera hearing on the merits before the Coastal Zone Board. The Coastal Zone Board notified the parties in January of 2020 that it concurred with the parties’ proposed course of action. The appellants and November 2017.DCR subsequently filed a motion with the Superior Court requesting relief consistent with what was described to the Coastal Zone Board. In March of 2020, the Superior Court issued a letter relinquishing jurisdiction over the matter, and concurring with the parties’ proposal to allow the case to proceed to a hearing on the merits before the Coastal Zone Board. The parties must now jointly propose to the Coastal Zone Board a schedule for prehearing activity and a merits hearing to resolve the matter. The parties must, therefore, submit to the Coastal Zone Board a joint proposed schedule to govern future proceedings related to the merits hearing to resolve the matter.
On October 19, 2017,September 11, 2020, DCR received two Citations and Notification of Penalties, with sub-parts, from the Delaware City refinery received approval from DNREC for the constructionOccupational Safety and operationHealth Administration of the ethanol marketing project to allow for a combined total loading of up to 10,000 bpd, on an annual average basis, of ethanol on to marine vessels at the marine piers and the terminal truck loading rack, subject to certain operational and emissions limitations as well as other conditions. On the same date, Delaware City Logistics Company LLC received DNREC approval for the construction of (i) four additional loading arms for each of lanes 4, 10 and 11 for purposes of loading ethanol at its truck loading rack and (ii) a vapor vacuum control system for

loading lanes connected to the existing vapor recovery unit located at its terminal in Delaware City. This approval is also subject to certain operational and emission limitations as well as other conditions.
On February 3, 2011, the EPA sent a request for information pursuant to Section 114 of the Clean Air Act to the Paulsboro refinery with respect to compliance with EPA standards governing flaring. On July 13, 2017 the U.S. Department of JusticeLabor (“OSHA”) related to a combustion incident occurring on March 11, 2020. The citation seeks to impose penalties in the amount of $401,923 related to alleged violations of the Occupation Safety and Health Act of 1970. An informal conference with OSHA on October 2, 2020 was unsuccessful in resolving the matter, and, as a result, DCR filed a Notice of Contest with OSHA contesting the citations in their entirety at the end of the informal conference. OSHA filed its Complaint on December 13, 2020, and DCR filed its response on January 4, 2021. OSHA and DCR participated in mandatory meditation on February 2, 2021, which was unsuccessful. On February 25, 2021, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission granted the parties’ Joint Motion for Additional Time for the Parties to Discuss Settlement. The Court has since granted multiple additional extensions. At present, the parties have until May 28th, 2021 to notify the court as to the outcome of such discussions and, in the interim, are required to provide the Court with weekly updates. The settlement negotiations are continuing; if the motionsettlement negotiations are unsuccessful, the matter will proceed to enter the consent decree. On September 19, 2017, the Court approved the consent decree and in connection therewith the Paulsboro refinery has paid a penalty of $0.2 million.litigation.

In connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, we assumed certain pre-existing environmental liabilities related to certain environmental remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and monitoring activities, which reflect the estimated cost of the remediation obligations. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, we purchased a ten year, $100.0 million environmental insurance policy to insure against unknown environmental liabilities. Furthermore, in connection with the acquisition, we assumed responsibility for certain specified environmental matters that occurred prior to our ownership of the refinery and logistics assets, including specified incidents and/or NOVsNotices of Violations (“NOVs”) issued by regulatory agencies in various years before the Company’sour ownership, including the Southern CaliforniaSouth Coast Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) and the Division of Occupational Safety and Health of the State of California (“Cal/OSHA”). Following the closing of
Subsequent to the acquisition, further NOVs were issued by the SCAQMD, Cal/OSHA, the City of Torrance, and the Torrance Fire Department. No settlement or penalty demand in excess of $0.1 million has been made or received with respect to these notices. It is reasonably possible that SCAQMD, Cal/OSHA and/or the City of Torrance will assess penaltiesFire Department, and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District related to alleged operational violations, emission discharges and/or flaring incidents at the refinery and the logistics assets both before and after our acquisition. EPA in November 2016 conducted a Risk Management Plan (“RMP”) inspection following the acquisition related to Torrance operations and issued preliminary findings in March 2017 concerning RMP potential operational violations. Since EPA’s issuance of the preliminary findings in March 2017, we have been in substantive discussions to resolve the preliminary findings. Effective January 9, 2020, we and EPA entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order (“CAFO”), effective as of January 9, 2020, which contains no admission by us for any alleged violations in the otherCAFO, includes a release from all alleged violations in the CAFO, requires payment of a penalty of $125,000 and the implementation of a supplemental environmental project (“SEP”) of at least $219,000 that must be completed by December 15, 2021. The SEP will consist of configuring the northeast fire water monitor to automatically deploy water upon detection of a release.
EPA and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”) in December 2016 conducted a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) inspection following the acquisition related to Torrance operations and also issued in March 2017 preliminary findings concerning RCRA potential operational violations. On June 14, 2018, the Torrance refinery and DTSC reached settlement regarding the oil bearing materials. Following this settlement, in June 2018, DTSC referred the remaining alleged RCRA violations from EPA’s and DTSC’s December 2016 inspection to the California Attorney General. On April 7, 2021, we were notified that these alleged remaining RCRA violations had been referred to EPA.
On May 8, 2020, we received a letter from the SCAQMD proposing to settle a NOV relating to Title V deviations alleged to have occurred in the first half of 2017 for $878,450. On March 11, 2021, we accepted SCAQMD’s offer to settle the NOV for approximately $625,000.
On February 4, 2021, we received a letter from the SCAQMD proposing to settle a NOV relating to Title V deviations alleged to have occurred in the second half of 2017 for $1.3 million. We are evaluating the allegations and will be communicating with the SCAQMD regarding the allegations and the settlement offer upon the completion of our review.
On November 30, 2020, the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (“RWQCB”) issued a draft Stipulated Order to the Martinez refinery in connection with alleged total suspended solids exceedances that occurred in March 2020, which draft order included a proposed penalty of $310,000. Subsequently, the RWQCB proposed to settle these alleged exceedances for $126,000. On February 8, 2021, we accepted RWQCB’s offer to settle the alleged exceedances for $120,000.
As the ultimate outcomes of the matters in excessdiscussed above are uncertain, we cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of $0.1 milliontheir resolution but any such amount is not expected to be material to us, individually or in the aggregate.
On September 2, 2011, prior to our ownership of the Chalmette refinery, the plaintiff in Vincent Caruso, et al. v. Chalmette Refining, L.L.C., filed an action on behalf of himself and other Louisiana residents who live or own property in St. Bernard Parish and Orleans Parish and whose property was allegedly contaminated and who allegedly suffered any personal or property damages as a result of an emission of spent catalyst, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from the Chalmette refinery on September 6, 2010. Plaintiffs claim to have suffered injuries, symptoms, and property damage as a result of the release. Plaintiffs seek to recover unspecified damages, interest and costs. In August 2015, there was a mini-trial for four plaintiffs for property damage relating to home and vehicle cleaning. On April 12, 2016, the trial court rendered judgment limiting damages ranging from $100 to $500 for home cleaning and $25 to $75 for vehicle cleaning to the four plaintiffs. The trial court found Chalmette Refining and co-defendant Eaton Corporation (“Eaton”), to be solidarily liable for the damages. Chalmette Refining and Eaton filed an appeal in August 2016 of the judgment on the mini-trial. On June 28, 2017, the appellate court unanimously reversed the judgment awarding damages to the plaintiffs. On July 12, 2017, the plaintiffs filed for a rehearing of the appellate court judgment, which was denied on July 31, 2017. As a result of the appellate court’s judgment, the potential amount of the claims is not determinable. Depending upon the ultimate class size and the nature of the claims, the outcome may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On February 14, 2017, the plaintiff in Adam Trotter v. ExxonMobil Corp., ExxonMobil Oil Corp., ExxonMobil Refining and Supply Company, et. al., filed a civil action against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Southwest District, claiming public nuisance, battery, a violation of civil rights under 42 U.S.C. §1983, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and strict liability in tort and injuries and symptoms resulting from the February 18, 2015 electrostatic precipitator (“ESP”) explosion at the Torrance Refinery which was then owned and operated by Exxon. The City of Torrance and the SCAQMD are also named as defendants in the lawsuit. On September 29, 2017, the court granted our motion to dismiss as well as the SCAQMD’s motion to dismiss with leave for the plaintiff to amend and denied plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction. We believe the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.flows, individually or in the aggregate.

On February 17, 2017, in Arnold Goldstein, et al. v. Exxon Mobil Corporation, et al., PBF Energy Inc.we and PBF Energy Company LLC, and our subsidiaries, PBF Energy Western Region LLC and Torrance Refining

Company LLC and the manager of our Torrance refinery along with Exxon Mobil CorporationExxonMobil were named as defendants in a class action and representative action complaint filed on behalf of Arnold Goldstein, John Covas, Gisela Janette La Bella and others similarly situated. The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles and alleges negligence, strict liability, ultrahazardousultra-hazardous activity, a continuing private nuisance, a permanent private nuisance, a continuing public nuisance, a permanent public nuisance and trespass resulting from the February 18, 2015 electrostatic precipitator (“ESP”) explosion at the Torrance refinery which was then owned and operated by Exxon.ExxonMobil. The operation of the Torrance refinery by the PBF entities subsequent to our acquisition in July 2016 is also referenced in the complaint. To the extent that plaintiffs’ claims relate to the ESP explosion, Exxon hasExxonMobil retained responsibility for any liabilities that would arise from the lawsuit pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of the Torrance refinery. ThisOn July 2, 2018, the court granted leave to plaintiffs’ to file a Second Amended Complaint alleging groundwater contamination. With the filing of the Second Amended Complaint, plaintiffs’ added an additional plaintiff, Hany Youssef. On March 18, 2019, the class certification hearing was held and the court took the matter isunder submission. On April 1, 2019, the court issued an order denying class certification. On April 15, 2019, plaintiffs filed a Petition for Permission to Appeal the Order Denying Motion for Class Certification. On May 3, 2019, plaintiffs filed a Motion with the Central District Court for Leave to File a Renewed Motion for Class Certification. On May 22, 2019, the judge granted plaintiffs’ motion. We filed our opposition to the motion on July 29, 2019. The plaintiffs’ motion was heard on September 23, 2019. On October 15, 2019, the judge granted certification to two limited classes of property owners with Youssef as the sole class representative and named plaintiff, rejecting two other proposed subclasses based on negligence and on strict liability for ultrahazardous activities. The certified subclasses relate to trespass claims for ground contamination and nuisance for air emissions. On February 5, 2021, our motion for Limited Extension of Discovery Cut-Off and a Motion by plaintiffs for Leave to File Third Amended Complaint were heard by the court. On February 9, 2021, the court issued an order taking both motions under submission pending additional discovery and briefing related to plaintiff Youssef and whether a new class representative should be substituted. The court has also ordered that the rebuttal expert disclosure deadline, the expert discovery cut-off, the motion hearing cut-off, and all other case deadlines be stayed pending the court’s decision as to whether the case can proceed with a new class representative and whether defendants will be permitted to conduct additional soil vapor sampling in the initial stages of discoveryground subclass area. On March 6, 2021, plaintiff Youssef’s second deposition was taken. On March 22, 2021, based on plaintiff Youssef’s deposition, we filed our brief requesting the court dismiss plaintiff Youssef’s claims for nuisance and we cannottrespass and deny plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file a third amended complaint to substitute a new named plaintiff or class representative. On April 5, 2021, plaintiffs filed a brief regarding their motion. We are currently estimatewaiting for the amount orcourt’s ruling on the timing of its resolution.briefs. Trial was previously scheduled to commence on July 27, 2021. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On September 7, 2018, in Jeprece Roussell, et al. v. PBF Consultants, LLC, et al., the plaintiff filed an action in the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, alleging numerous causes of action, including wrongful death, premises liability, negligence, and gross negligence against PBF Holding, PBFX Operating Company LLC, Chalmette Refining, two individual employees of the Chalmette refinery (the “PBF Defendants”), two entities, PBF Consultants, LLC (“PBF Consultants”) and PBF Investments that are Louisiana companies that are not associated with our companies, as well as Clean Harbors, Inc. and Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc. (collectively, “Clean Harbors”), Mr. Roussell’s employer. Mr. Roussell was fatally injured on March 31, 2018 while employed by Clean Harbors and performing clay removal work activities inside a clay treating vessel located at the Chalmette refinery. Plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages for pain and suffering, past and future mental anguish, impairment, past and future economic loss, attorney’s fees and court costs. On September 25, 2018, the PBF Defendants filed an answer in the state court action denying the allegations. On October 10, 2018, the PBF Defendants filed to remove the case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana. On November 9, 2018, plaintiff filed a motion to remand the matter back to state court and the PBF Defendants filed a response on November 30, 2018. On April 15, 2019, the Federal Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation denying

Plaintiff’s motion to remand and dismissing without prejudice the claims against John Sprafka, Wayne LaCombe, PBF Consultants and PBF Investments. On June 24, 2019, the Federal Judge adopted the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation denying plaintiff’s motion to remand and dismissing without prejudice the claims against John Sprafka, Wayne LaCombe, PBF Consultants and PBF Investments. On September 18, 2020, the Federal Magistrate Judge granted plaintiff’s motion to amend in order to add a non-diverse plaintiff and remand to state court. PBF Defendants filed an opposition to plaintiff’s motion to amend on October 2, 2020. On October 5, 2020, the Magistrate Judge granted plaintiff’s motion to amend and remanded the case back to state court. Discovery will continue in state court. We cannot currently estimate the amount or the timing of the resolution of this matter. The PBF Defendants previously issued a tender of defense and indemnity to Clean Harbors and its insurer pursuant to indemnity obligations contained in the associated services agreement. Clean Harbors has accepted the tender of defense and indemnity, and Clean Harbors’ insurer has accepted the tender of defense and indemnity subject to a reservation of rights. The plaintiffs have requested mediation in advance of the currently scheduled September 2021 trial date. In light of our indemnity and our insurance coverage, we presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In Varga, Sabrina, et al., v. CRU Railcar Services, LLC, et al., we and other of our entities were named as defendants along with CRU Railcar Services, LLC (“CRU”) in a lawsuit arising from a railcar explosion that occurred while CRU employees were cleaning a railcar owned by us. The initial lawsuit alleged that an employee of CRU was fatally injured as a result of the explosion. On July 5, 2019, a petition for intervention was filed alleging that another CRU employee was fatally injured in the same explosion. On October 7, 2019, a third CRU employee joined the lawsuit alleging severe injuries from the incident. We have issued a tender of defense and indemnity to CRU and its insurer pursuant to indemnity obligations contained in the associated services agreement which have not been accepted at this time. On March 3, 2021, we filed multiple motions for summary judgment in this matter and at a hearing on March 25, 2021, the motions were granted by the court. Prior to the hearing, on March 18, 2021, certain other plaintiffs had non-suited our entities without prejudice.
We are subject to obligations to purchase RINs. On February 15, 2017, we received another notification that EPA records indicated that wePBF Holding used potentially invalid RINs that were in fact verified under the EPA’s RIN Quality Assurance Program (“QAP”) by an independent auditor as QAP A RINs. Under the regulations use of potentially invalid QAP A RINs providedprovides the user with an affirmative defense from civil penalties, provided certain conditions are met. We have asserted the affirmative defense and, if accepted by the EPA, will not be required to replace these RINs and will not be subject to civil penalties under the program. It is reasonably possible that the EPA will not accept our defense and may assess penalties in these matters, but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), also known as “Superfund,” imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current or former owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that disposed of or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for investigation and the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. As discussed more fully above, certain of our sites are subject to these laws and we may be held liable for investigation and remediation costs or claims for natural resource damages. It is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances or other pollutants released into the environment. Analogous state laws impose similar responsibilities and liabilities on responsible parties. In our current normal operations, we have generated waste, some of which falls within the statutory definition of a “hazardous substance” and some of which may have been disposed of at sites that may require cleanup under Superfund.
