ASU 842 supersedes the lease accounting guidance in ASC 840 - “Leases” (“ASC 840”). ASC 842 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. The Company elected to utilize the “package” of three expedients, as defined in ASC 842, which retains the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. The Company also has elected to not evaluate land easements that existed as of, or expired before, adoption of the new standard. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods prior to the adoption of ASC 842 are not adjusted and are reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy. As of the date of implementation on January 1, 2019, the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease payable obligation on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of approximately $250.0 million. As the right of use asset and the lease payable obligation were the same upon adoption of ASC 842, there was no cumulative effect impact on the Company’s retained earnings. See “Note 8 - Leases” for further details.

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.
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 responsibility. The Company believes that our current operations are in substantial compliance with existing environmental and safety requirements. However, there have been and will continue to be ongoing discussions about environmental and safety matters between the Company and federal 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 or safety related expenditures, the Company anticipates that continuing capital investments and changes in operating procedures will be required for the foreseeable future to comply with existing and new requirements, as well as evolving interpretations and more strict enforcement of existing laws and regulations.
In connection with the Paulsboroacquisition of the Torrance refinery acquisition,and related logistics assets, the Company assumed certain pre-existing environmental liabilities totaling $125.4 million as of June 30, 2019 ($130.8 million as of December 31, 2018), related to certain environmental remediation obligations. The environmental liabilityobligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and monitoring activities and other clean-up activities, which reflects the current estimated cost of $10,714 recorded as of September 30, 2015 ($10,476 as of December 31, 2014) represents the present value of expected future costs discounted at a rate of 8%.remediation obligations. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in accruedAccrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in otherOther long-term liabilities. As of September
The accrued environmental liability reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $139.2 million and $144.2 million at June 30, 20152019 and December 31, 2014, this liability2018, respectively, of which $129.5 million and $137.2 million, respectively, were classified as Other long-term liabilities. These accruals include remediation and monitoring costs, related to the Torrance refinery, as discussed above, and other operating assets, expected to be incurred over an extended period of time. Estimated liabilities could increase in the future when the results of ongoing investigations become known, are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated.
During the first quarter of 2019, PBFX notified certain agencies of an oil sheen in the Schuylkill River potentially sourcing from a PBFX facility. Clean-up was immediately initiated, and oil is self-guaranteed byno longer being released into the Company.
In connection with the acquisitionwaterway. The source of the Delaware City assets, Valero Energy Corporation ("Valero") remains responsible for certain pre-acquisition environmental obligations up to $20,000oil is currently under investigation. Although full clean-up 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, the Company and Valero purchased ten year, $75,000 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 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 states in the Northeast market began requiring heating oil sold in their state to contain no more than 15 PPM sulfur. Currently, six Northeastern states require heating oil with 15 PPM or less sulfur. By July 1, 2016, two more states are expected to adopt this requirement and by July 1, 2018 most of the remaining Northeastern states (except for Pennsylvania and New Hampshire) will require heating oil with 15 PPM or less sulfur. All of the heating oil the Company currently produces meets these specifications. The mandate and other requirements docosts have not currently have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The EPA issued the final Tier 3 Gasoline standards on March 3, 2014 under the Clean Air Act. This final rule establishes more stringent vehicle emission standards and further reduces the sulfur content of gasoline starting in January of 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 standards set by the new rulebeen completed, such incremental costs are not expected to have abe material impact onto the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.Company.
The EPA was required to release the final annual standards for the Reformulated Fuels Standard ("RFS") for 2014 no later than Nov 29, 2013 and for 2015 no later than Nov 29, 2014. The EPA did not meet these requirements but did release proposed standards for 2014. The EPA did not finalize this proposal in 2014. However, in May 2015,

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT UNIT, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

the EPA re-proposed annual standards for RFS 2 for 2014, and proposed new standards for 2015 and 2016 and biomass-based diesel volumes for 2017. The EPA is proposing volume requirements in the annual standards which, while below the volumes originally set by Congress, would increase renewable fuel use in the U.S. above historical levels and provide for steady growth over time. The EPA is also proposing to increase the required volume of biomass-based diesel in 2015, 2016, and 2017 while maintaining the opportunity for growth in other advanced biofuels. The EPA has solicited comments on the proposed annual standards and held public hearings on June 25, 2015. Final action on this proposal is expected by November 30, 2015. If they are issued, the final standards may have a material impact on the Company's cost of compliance with RFS 2.
On September 12, 2012, the EPA issued final amendments to the New Source Performance Standards ("NSPS") for petroleum refineries, including standards for emissions of nitrogen oxides from process heaters and work practice standards and monitoring requirements for flares.  The Company has evaluated the impact of the regulation and amended standards on its refinery operations and currently does not expect the cost to comply to be material.
In addition, 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.

The Delaware City Rail Terminal and DCR West Rack are collocated with the Delaware City refinery, and are located in Delaware's coastal zone where certain activities are regulated under the Delaware Coastal Zone act. On June 14, 2013, two administrative appeals were filed by the Sierra Club and Delaware Audubon (collectively the "Appellants") regarding an air permit Delaware City Refining obtained to allow loading of crude oil onto barges. The appeals allege that both the loading of crude oil onto barges and the operation of the Delaware City Rail Terminal violate Delaware’s Coastal Zone Act. The first appeal is Number 2013-1 before the State Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board (the “CZ Board”), and the second appeal is before the Environmental Appeals Board (the "EAB") and appeals Secretary’s Order No. 2013-A-0020. The CZ Board held a hearing on the first appeal on July 16, 2013, and ruled in favor of Delaware City Refining and the State of Delaware and dismissed the Appellants’ appeal for lack of standing. The Appellants appealed that decision to the Delaware Superior Court, New Castle County, Case No. N13A-09-001 ALR, and Delaware City Refining and the State of Delaware filed cross-appeals. A hearing on the second appeal before the EAB, case no. 2013-06, was held on January 13, 2014, and the EAB ruled in favor of Delaware City Refining and the State and dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The Appellants also filed a Notice of Appeal with the Superior Court appealing the EAB’s decision. On March 31, 2015 the Superior Court affirmed the decisions by both the CZ Board and the EAB stating they both lacked jurisdiction to rule on the Appellants' appeal. The Appellants appealed to the Delaware Supreme Court, and, on November 5, 2015, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court decision.
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.

PBF LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement

The holders of limited liability company interests in PBF LLC, including PBF Energy, generally have to include for purposes of calculating their U.S. federal, state and local income taxes their share of any taxable income of PBF LLC, regardless of whether such holders receive cash distributions from PBF LLC. PBF Energy ultimately may not receive cash distributions from PBF LLC equal to its share of such taxable income or even equal to the actual tax due with respect to that income. For example, PBF LLC is required to include in taxable income PBF LLC’s allocable share of PBFX’s taxable income and gains (such share to be determined pursuant to the partnership

PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT UNIT, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

agreement of PBFX), regardless of the amount of cash distributions received by PBF LLC from PBFX, and such taxable income and gains will flow-through to PBF Energy to the extent of its allocable share of the taxable income of PBF LLC. As a result, at certain times, the amount of cash otherwise ultimately available to PBF Energy on account of its indirect interest in PBFX may not be sufficient for PBF Energy to pay the amount of taxes it will owe on account of its indirect interests in PBFX.

Taxable income of PBF LLC generally is allocated to the holders of PBF LLC units (including PBF Energy) pro rata in accordance with their respective share of the net profits and net losses of PBF LLC. In general, PBF LLC is required to make periodic tax distributions to the members of PBF LLC, including PBF Energy, pro rata in accordance with their respective percentage interests for such period (as determined under the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC), subject to available cash and applicable law and contractual restrictions (including pursuant to our debt instruments) and based on certain assumptions. Generally, these tax distributions are required to be in an amount equal to our estimate of the taxable income of PBF LLC for the year multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in New York, New York (taking into account the nondeductibility of certain expenses). 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 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 entered into a tax receivable agreement with the PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B Unit holdersunitholders (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’sEnergy 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.LLC, PBF Holding or PBFX. 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 94.4%99.0% interest in PBF LLC as of SeptemberJune 30, 2015 (89.9%2019 (99.0% as of December 31, 2014)2018). 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.

As of June 30, 2019, PBF Energy has recognized a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement of $373.5 million ($373.5 million as of December 31, 2018) reflecting the estimate of the undiscounted amounts that the Company expects to pay under the agreement.


8. LEASES
The Company leases office space, office equipment, refinery 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 renewal options as applicable. The Company considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease 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.
The Company does not separate lease and nonlease components of contracts. There are no material residual value guarantees associated with any of the Company’s leases. There are no significant restrictions or covenants included in the Company’s lease agreements other than those that are customary in such arrangements. Certain of the Company’s leases, primarily for the Company’s commercial and logistics asset classes, include provisions for variable payments. These variable payments are typically determined based on a measure of throughput or actual days the asset is operated during the contract term or another measure of usage and are not included in the initial measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from the sale of refined petroleum products reported in the Refining segment. 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 Refining segment 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.
Logistics segment revenue is generated by charging fees for crude oil and refined products terminaling, storage and pipeline services based on the greater of contractual minimum volume commitments, as applicable, or the delivery of actual volumes based on contractual rates applied to throughput or storage volumes. A majority of the Company’s logistics revenues are generated by intercompany transactions and are eliminated in consolidation.
Deferred Revenues
The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or are due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable. Deferred revenue was $25.3 million and $20.1 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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.

13. INCOME TAXES
PBF Energy files federal and applicable state corporate income tax returns and recognizes income taxes on its pre-tax income, which to date has consisted primarily of its share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income (approximately 99.0% as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively). PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is an MLP, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income taxes apart from the income tax attributable to the two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the acquisition of Chalmette Refining and PBF Holding’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, PBF Ltd, that are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes.
The reported income tax provision in the PBF Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations consists of the following:

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.
Marketable securities, consisting primarily of US Treasury securities, categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices.
Non-qualified pension plan assets categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based on published net asset values of mutual funds and included within Deferred charges and other assets, net.
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 commodity contracts categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy consist ofcommodity 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 were derived using broker quotes, prices from other third party sources and other available market based data.
The derivatives included with inventory supply arrangement obligations, derivatives included with inventory intermediation agreement obligations and the catalyst lease 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.

(a) The estimated fair value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, was calculated based on the present value of future expected payments utilizing implied current market interest rates based on quoted prices of the Senior Secured Notes7.00% senior notes due 2023, the 7.25% senior notes due 2025 (collectively with the senior notes due 2023, the “Senior Notes”), and the PBFX 6.875% senior notes due 2023 (the “PBFX 2023 Senior Notes.Notes”).
(b) The estimated fair value approximates carrying value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, as these borrowings bear interest based upon short-term floating market interest rates.
(c) Catalyst leases are valued using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets and are categorized as a Level 2 measurement. The Company has elected the fair value option for accounting for its catalyst lease repurchase obligations as the Company'sCompany’s liability is directly impacted by the change in fair value of the underlying catalyst. During 2018, Toledo Refining and Chalmette Refining entered into two platinum bridge leases which were settled in April 2019 and were not renewed. During 2018, Delaware City Refining entered into a new platinum bridge lease, which will expire in the third quarter of 2019. This lease

is payable at maturity and is not anticipated to be renewed. The total outstanding balance related to these bridge leases as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $1.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and is included in Current debt in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
15. DERIVATIVES
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures to commodity price risk. The Company’s crude supply agreement containsCompany entered into Inventory Intermediation Agreements that contain purchase obligations for certain volumes of crude oil, and other feedstocks. In addition, the Company entered into Inventory Intermediation Agreements commencing in July 2013 that contain purchase obligations for certain volumes of intermediates and refined products. The purchase obligations related to crude oil, feedstocks, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2019, there were 238,306496,153 barrels of crude oil and feedstocks (662,579(no barrels at December 31, 2014)2018) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges and no barrels (no barrels at December 31, 2014) outstanding under these derivative instruments not designated as hedges. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2019, there were 3,130,7663,418,263 barrels of intermediates and refined products (3,106,325(3,350,166 barrels at December 31, 2014)2018) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges and no barrels (no barrels at December 31, 2014) outstanding under these derivative instruments not designated as hedges. These volumes represent the notional value of the contract.

(1)The diluted earnings per share calculation generally assumes the conversion of all outstanding PBF LLC Series A Units to PBF Energy Class A common stock. The net income (loss) attributable to PBF Energy, used in the numerator of the diluted earnings per share calculation is adjusted to reflect the net income (loss), as well as the corresponding income tax benefit (expense) (based on a 26.5% estimated annualized statutory corporate tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and a 26.4% estimated annualized statutory corporate tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018) attributable to the converted units. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the potential conversion of 1,206,325 PBF LLC Series A Units into PBF Energy Class A common stock were excluded from the denominator in computing diluted net income (loss) per share because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect. As the potential conversion of the PBF LLC Series A Units and common stock equivalents were not included, the numerator used in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share was equal to the numerator used in the calculation of basic net income (loss) per share and does not include the net income (loss) and income tax attributable to the net income (loss) associated with the potential conversion of the PBF LLC Series A Units and common stock equivalents.

(2)Represents an adjustment to weighted-average diluted shares outstanding to assume the full exchange of common stock equivalents, including options and warrants for PBF LLC Series A Units and performance share units and options for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock as calculated under the treasury stock method (to the extent the impact of such exchange would not be anti-dilutive). Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of options, warrants and performance share units to purchase 6,833,973 and 6,012,867 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A units because they are anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of options and warrants to purchase 12,500 and 233,250 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A units because they were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. For periods showing a net loss, all common stock equivalents and unvested restricted stock are considered anti-dilutive.

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 MidwestWest 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. We were formed in 2008 to pursue acquisitions of crude oil refineries and downstream assets in North America. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20152019, we ownedown and operated threeoperate five domestic oil refineries and related assets which we acquired in 2010 and 2011. Our refineries havewith a combined processing capacity, known as throughput, of approximately 540,000900,000 barrels per day ("bpd"(“bpd”), and a weighted-average Nelson Complexity Index of 11.3. On November 1, 2015 we closed on our acquisition12.2. We operate in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. Our five oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and are aggregated into the ownership interests of Chalmette Refining L.L.C. ("Chalmette Refining"). See Business Developments for additional information.segment. PBFX operates certain logistics assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, and storage facilities, which are aggregated into the Logistics segment.
As of September 30, 2015, our threeOur five refineries are located in Toledo, Ohio, Delaware City, Delaware, and Paulsboro, New Jersey. Our Mid-ContinentJersey, Toledo, Ohio, New Orleans, Louisiana and Torrance, California. Each refinery at Toledo processes light, sweetis briefly described in the table below:

The majority of Toledo’s West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") based crude is delivered via pipelines that originate in both Canadafeedstocks and the United States. Since our acquisition of Toledo in 2011, we have added additional truckrelated sources utilized under normal operating conditions and rail crude unloading capabilities that provide feedstock sourcing flexibility for the refinery and enables Toledo to run a more cost-advantaged crude slate. Our East Coast refineries at Delaware City and Paulsboro have a combined refining capacity of 370,000 bpd and Nelson Complexity Indices of 11.3 and 13.2, respectively. These high-conversion refineries process primarily medium and heavy, sour crudes and have historically received the bulk of their feedstock via ships and barges on the Delaware River.
Since our acquisition of the Delaware City refinery, we expanded and upgraded the existing on-site railroad infrastructure, including the expansion of the crude rail unloading facilities. Currently, crude delivered by rail to this facility is consumed at our Delaware City refinery. We also transport some of the crude delivered by rail from Delaware City via barge to our Paulsboro refinery or other third party destinations. In 2014 we completed a project to expand the Delaware City heavy crude rail unloading terminal capability at the refinery from 40,000 bpd to 80,000 bpd and added additional unloading spots to the dual-loop track light crude rail unloading facility, which has increased its unloading capability from 105,000 bpd to 130,000 bpd. These projects bring total rail crude

unloading capability up to 210,000 bpd, subject to the delivery of coiled and insulated railcars, the development of crude rail loading infrastructure in Canada and the use of unit trains. The Delaware City rail unloading facilities, including the facilities now owned by PBFX, allows our East Coast refineries to source WTI price-based crude oils from Western Canada and the Mid-Continent, which we believe at times may provide cost advantages versus traditional Brent based international crudes.prevailing market environments.

The Chalmette refinery, located outside of New Orleans, Louisiana, is a 189,000 barrel per day, dual-train coking refinery with a Nelson Complexity of 12.7 and is capable of processing both light and heavy crude oil.
Chalmette Refining owns 100% of the MOEM Pipeline, providing access to the Empire Terminal, as well as the CAM Connection Pipeline, providing access to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port facility through a third party pipeline. Chalmette Refining also owns 80% of each of the Collins Pipeline Company and T&M Terminal Company, both located in Collins, Mississippi, which provide a clean products outlet for the refinery to the Plantation and Colonial Pipelines. Also included in the acquisition are a marine terminal capable of importing waterborne feedstocks and loading or unloading finished products; a clean products truck rack which provides access to local markets; and a crude and product storage facility with approximately 7.5 million barrels of shell capacity.
The aggregate purchase price for the Chalmette Acquisition was $322.0 million in cash, plus inventory and working capital of $233.1 million, which is subject to final valuation within ninety days of closing. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s existing revolving credit line. A determination of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and the working capital at closing calculation is pending the completion of an independent appraisal and other evaluations.
The Chalmette Acquisition provides the Company with a broader more diversified asset base and increases the number of operating refineries from three to four and the Company's combined crude oil throughput capacity from 540,000 bpd to approximately 730,000 bpd. The acquisition also provides the Company with a presence in the attractive Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts ("PADD") 3 market.

In addition to refining assets, the TorranceMartinez Acquisition includes a number of high-quality onsite logistics assets including a sophisticated network of crude and products pipelines,deep-water marine facility, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities. The most significant of the logistics assets is a 171-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 are 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 8.68.8 million barrels of shell capacity.
The purchase price for the TorranceMartinez Acquisition is $537.5will range from $900.0 million to $1.0 billion in cash, based on the date the transaction closes, plus inventory and working capital to be valued at closing.

J. Aron Intermediation Agreements
On May 29, 2015, PBF Holding entered into amended and restated inventory intermediation agreements (the "A&R Intermediation Agreements") with J. Aron & Company ("J. Aron") pursuant to which certain terms of theits wholly-owned subsidiaries, as borrowers or subsidiary guarantors, replaced our existing inventory intermediation agreements were amended, including, among other things, pricing and an extension of the term for a period of two years from the original expiry date of July 1, 2015, subject to certain

early termination rights. In addition, the A&R Intermediation Agreements include one-year renewal clauses by mutual consent of both parties.
Pursuant to each A&R Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron will continue 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 Paulsboro refinery and Delaware City refinery as the Products are discharged out of the Refineries' tanks. J. Aron has the right to store the Products purchased in tanks under the A&R Intermediation Agreements and will retain these storage rights for the term of the agreements. PBF Holding will continue to market and sell the Products independently to third parties.
Crude Oil Acquisition Agreement Termination
Effective July 31, 2014, PBF Holding terminated the Amended and Restated Crude Oil Acquisition Agreement,asset-based revolving credit agreement dated as of March 1, 2012 as amendedAugust 15, 2014 (the "Toledo Crude Oil Acquisition Agreement"“August 2014 Revolving Credit Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley Capital Group, Inc. ("MSCG"a new asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility"). UnderAmong other things, the termsRevolving Credit Facility increases the maximum commitment available to PBF Holding from $2.6 billion to $3.4 billion, extends the maturity date to May 2023 and redefines certain components of the Toledo Crude Oil Acquisition Agreement, we previously acquired substantially allBorrowing Base, as defined in the agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), to make more funding available for working capital and other general corporate purposes. In addition, an accordion feature allows for commitments of our crude oilup to $3.5 billion. The commitment fees on the unused portion, the interest rate on advances and the fees for our subsidiary's Toledo refinery from MSCG through delivery at various interstate pipeline locations. No early termination penaltiesletters of credit are consistent with the August 2014 Revolving Credit Agreement.
There were incurred by usno outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as a result of the termination. We began sourcing our own crude oil needs for Toledo upon termination.June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.




Results of Operations
The tables below reflect our consolidated financial and operating highlights for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 and 20142018 (amounts in thousands)millions, except per share data). Differences between the results of operations of PBF Energy and PBF LLC primarily pertain to income taxes, interest expense and noncontrolling interest as shown below. Earnings per share information applies only to the financial results of PBF Energy. We operate in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. Our three oil refineries, excluding the assets owned by PBFX, are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and are aggregated into the Refining segment. PBFX is a publicly traded master limited partnershippublicly-traded MLP that operates logisticalcertain logistics assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines and storage facilities. PBFX'sPBFX’s operations are aggregated into the Logistics segment. Prior to the PBFX Offering, DCR West Rack acquisition, Toledo Tank Farm acquisition and the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack acquisition, PBFX's assets were operated within the refining operations of our Delaware City and Toledo refineries and wereWe do not considered to be a separate reportable segment. We did not analyzeseparately discuss our results by individual segmentsegments as, apart from PBFX’s third-party acquisitions, our Logistics segment doesdid not have any third partysignificant third-party revenue and substantially alla significant portion of its operating results eliminate in consolidation. Additionally, third party expenses attributable directly to the Logistics segment are immaterial relative to our consolidated operating results.

Three Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 Compared to the Three Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20142018
Overview— Net income PBF Energy net loss was $68.2$21.6 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 compared to net income of $261.8$287.7 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2014. Net income attributable to2018. PBF LLC net loss was $58.8$35.9 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 compared to net income of $385.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Net loss attributable to PBF Energy was $32.2 million, or $(0.27) per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 ($(0.27) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss, or $0.83 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) compared to net income attributable to PBF LLCEnergy of $257.2$272.1 million, or $2.37 per diluted share, for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2014.2018 ($2.37 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income, or $1.38 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures). The net income or loss attributable to PBF LLC includesEnergy represents PBF LLC’sEnergy’s equity interest in its operating subsidiaries' net income.PBF LLC’s pre-tax income, less applicable income tax (benefit) expense. PBF Energy’s weighted-average equity interest in PBF LLC was 99.0% and 98.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Our results for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 were negatively impacted by a non-cash, special item consisting of a non-cash inventorypre-tax lower of cost or market ("LCM"(“LCM”) inventory adjustment of approximately $208.3$182.0 million, onor $133.8 million net of tax. Our results for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were positively impacted by a pre-tax LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $158.0 million, or $116.3 million net basis,of tax. 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 negatively impacted by unfavorable movements in crude differentials and overall lower throughput volumes and barrels sold across the majority of our refineries as a result of ongoing turnarounds, which includes the reversal of the LCM charge recordedwere completed in the second quarter of 2015. The LCM adjustment is a result of the changing crude oil and refined product prices from the second quarter of 2015 to the end of the third quarter of 2015. During this period the prices have remained below historical costs. Excluding the impact of the net change in LCM reserve of $208.3 million, our results were positively impacted by higher crack spreads2019, despite stronger refining margins in the East CoastMid-Continent and Mid-Continent partially offset by unfavorable movements in crude oil differentials and the impact of the unplanned downtime at our Delaware City refinery in August 2015 and planned turnaround at our Delaware City refinery in September 2015 which reduced throughput and increased operating expenses.
Revenues— Revenues totaled $3.2 billionWest Coast. Our results for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015 compared to $5.32019 were also negatively impacted by increased depreciation and amortization expense associated with our continued investment in our refining assets and the effect of significant turnaround activity during the first half of the year.
Revenues— Revenues totaled $6.6 billion for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2014, 2019 compared to $7.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of approximately $2.0$0.9 billion,, or 38.8%11.9%. Revenues per barrel were $74.24 and $80.39 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of 7.7% directly related to lower hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015, the total throughput rates in the East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 301,800 bpd and 173,600 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014,2019, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and Mid-ContinentWest Coast refineries averaged approximately 344,100325,800 bpd, 163,200 bpd, 201,400 bpd and 151,400163,700 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 359,900 bpd, 152,900 bpd, 188,500 bpd and 165,300 bpd, respectively. The decline in throughput rates at our East Coast refineries were lower in 2015the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 2014 is primarilythe same period in 2018 due to unplannedplanned downtime associated with the turnarounds of the crude unit at our Paulsboro refinery and coker at our Delaware City refinery, which were completed during the second quarter of 2019. Throughput rates in August 2015 andthe Mid-Continent were higher in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to a planned turnaround in September 2015 at our Delaware City refinery. The increase in throughput rates at our Mid-Continent refinery in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily attributable to favorable market conditions at our Toledo refinery in the thirdsecond quarter of 2015.the prior year. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015, the

Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $48.1$107.1 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 (including $104.2 million recorded within Cost of sales) compared to $68.0$92.3 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2014, a decrease2018 (including $89.7 million recorded within Cost of $19.9sales), an increase of $14.8 million. The decreaseincrease was primarily a result of an impairment charge of $28.5 million incurredadditional depreciation expense associated with a general increase in our fixed asset base due to capital projects and turnarounds completed since the thirdsecond quarter of 2014 partially offset by capital projects related to turnarounds completed in 2014, the completed expansion of the crude rail unloading facility at the Delaware City refinery in 2014 and refinery optimization projects at Toledo.2018.
Change in Fair Value of Catalyst Leases— Change in the fair value of catalyst leases represented a gain of $5.0$0.5 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 compared to a gain of $5.5$4.1 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2014.2018. These gains 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.
Interest Expense, net— InterestPBF Energy interest expense totaled $29.4$42.1 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 compared to $24.9$43.4 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2014, an increase2018, a decrease of $4.5approximately $1.3 million. This increasenet decrease is mainly attributable to lower outstanding revolver borrowings during the issuance of the PBFX Senior Notes and the related amortization of deferred financing fees. This increase was offset by decreases in interest expense related to the termination of our crude and feedstock supply agreement with MSCG, effective July 31, 2014.three months ended June 30, 2019. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt including the PBFX credit facilities, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metals catalyst, interest expense incurred in connection with our crude and feedstock supply agreement with Statoil, financing costs associated with the Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils and the amortization of deferred financing costs. PBF LLC interest expense totaled $44.5 million and $45.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively (inclusive of $2.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of incremental interest expense on the affiliate note payable with PBF Energy that eliminates in consolidation at the PBF Energy level).
Income Tax Expense— PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is an MLP, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income tax. However, two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining and our Canadian subsidiary are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes and may incur income taxes with respect to their earnings, as applicable. The members of PBF LLC are required to include their proportionate share of PBF LLC’s taxable income or loss, which includes PBF LLC’s allocable share of PBFX’s pre-tax income or loss, on their respective tax returns. PBF LLC generally makes distributions to its members, per the terms of PBF LLC’s amended and restated limited liability company agreement, related to such taxes on a pro-rata basis. PBF Energy recognizes an income tax expense or benefit in our consolidated financial statements based on PBF Energy’s allocable share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income or loss, which was approximately 99.0% and 98.4%, on a weighted-average basis for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. PBF Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests in PBF LLC or PBFX (although, as described above, PBF LLC must make tax distributions to all its members on a pro-rata basis). PBF Energy’s effective tax rate, excluding the impact of noncontrolling interest, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 24.6% and 26.0%, respectively, reflecting tax adjustments for discrete items during the quarters.

Noncontrolling Interest— PBF Energy is the sole managing member of, and has a controlling interest in, PBF LLC. As a resultthe sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the initial public offeringbusiness and affairs of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries, including PBFX. With respect to the consolidation of PBF LLC, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF LLC held by members other than PBF Energy, and with respect to the consolidation of PBFX, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interests in PBFX held by the public unit holdersunitholders of PBFX.PBFX, and with respect to the consolidation of PBF Holding, the Company records a 20% noncontrolling interest for the ownership interests in two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining held by a third party. The total noncontrolling interest on the consolidated statementCondensed Consolidated Statements of operationsOperations represents the portion of the Company’s earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests held by members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, by the public common unit holdersunitholders of PBFX.PBFX and by the third-party stockholders of certain of Chalmette Refining’s subsidiaries.

On the West Coast the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $18.33 per barrel, or 4.2% higher, in the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $17.59 per barrel in the same period in 2018. Margins on the West Coast were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a weakening WTI/ANS differential, which averaged a premium of $8.95 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to a premium of $5.12 per barrel in the same period of 2018.
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.

Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of the personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries.refineries and related logistics assets.
GainLoss on Sale of AssetsGainNet loss on sale of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $1.1 million as compared to $0.2$0.8 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20142019 compared to a loss of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. These losses are related to the sale of railcars which were subsequently leased back.non-operating refinery assets.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $144.4$212.9 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 (including $207.2 million recorded within Cost of sales) compared to $135.9$178.3 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2014,2018 (including $173.0 million recorded within Cost of sales), an increase of $8.5approximately $34.6 million. The increase was primarily a result of additional depreciation expense associated with a general increase in our fixed asset base due to capital projects related toand turnarounds completed in 2014,since the completed expansionsecond quarter of the crude rail unloading facility at2018, as well as accelerated amortization related to the Delaware City and Torrance refinery turnarounds, which were completed in 2014 and refinery optimization projects at Toledo, partially offset by an impairment chargethe first half of $28.5 million in 2014.2019.

These gains and 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.
Interest Expense, net— InterestPBF Energy interest expense totaled $80.2$81.6 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 compared to $76.7$86.6 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2014, an increase2018, a decrease of approximately $3.4$5.0 million. This increasenet decrease is mainly attributable to higher interest costs associated withlower outstanding revolver borrowings during the issuance of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and the PBFX Term Loan in connection with the PBFX Offering as well as the issuance of the PBFX Senior Notes in May 2015 partially offset by the termination of our crude and feedstock supply agreement with MSCG, effective July 31, 2014.six months ended June 30, 2019. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt including the PBFX credit facilities, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metals catalyst, interest expense incurred in connection with our crude and feedstock supply agreement with Statoil, financing costs associated with the Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils and the amortization of deferred financing costs. PBF LLC interest expense totaled $86.0 million and $90.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively (inclusive of $4.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of incremental interest expense on the affiliate note payable with PBF Energy that eliminates in consolidation at the PBF Energy level).
Income Tax Expense— PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is an MLP, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income tax. However, two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining and our Canadian subsidiary are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes and may incur income taxes with respect to their earnings, as applicable. The members of PBF LLC are required to include their proportionate share of PBF LLC’s taxable income or loss, which includes PBF LLC’s allocable share of PBFX’s pre-tax income or loss, on their respective tax returns. PBF LLC generally makes distributions to its members, per the terms of PBF LLC’s amended and restated limited liability company agreement, related to such taxes on a pro-rata basis. PBF Energy recognizes an income tax expense or benefit in our consolidated financial statements based on PBF Energy’s allocable share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income or loss, which was approximately 99.0% and 97.6%, on a weighted-average basis for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. PBF Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests in PBF LLC or PBFX (although, as described above, PBF LLC must make tax distributions to all its members on a pro-rata basis). PBF Energy’s effective tax rate, excluding the impact of noncontrolling interests, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 26.2% and 26.0%, respectively.

Noncontrolling Interest— PBF Energy is the sole managing member of, and has a controlling interest in, PBF LLC. As a resultthe sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the initial public offeringbusiness and affairs of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries, including PBFX. With respect to the consolidation of PBF LLC, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF LLC held by members other than PBF Energy, and with respect to the consolidation of PBFX, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interests in PBFX held by the public unit holdersunitholders of PBFX.PBFX, and with respect to the consolidation of PBF Holding, the Company records a 20% noncontrolling interest for the ownership interests in two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining held by a third party. The total noncontrolling interest on the consolidated statementCondensed Consolidated Statements of operationsOperations represents the portion of the Company’s earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests held by members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, by the public common unit holdersunitholders of PBFX.PBFX and by the third-party stockholders of certain of Chalmette Refining’s subsidiaries. The total noncontrolling interest on the balance sheetCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the portion of the Company’s net assets attributable to the economic interests held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, by the public common unit holdersunitholders of PBFX.PBFX and by the third-party stockholders of the two Chalmette Refining subsidiaries. PBF Energy’s weighted-average equity noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in PBF LLC for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was approximately 1.0% and 2.4%, respectively. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets attributable to the noncontrolling interest is not equal to the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage due to the effect of income taxes and related agreements that pertain solely to PBF Energy.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP.GAAP (“Non-GAAP”). These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. Such Non-GAAP financial measures are presented only in the context of PBF Energy’s results and are not presented or discussed in respect to PBF LLC.
Special Items
The non-GAAPNon-GAAP measures presented include Adjusted Fully-Converted net income excluding special items, income from continuing operationsNet Income (loss) excluding special items, EBITDA excluding special items and gross refining margin excluding special items. TheSpecial items presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, relate to an LCM inventory adjustment. See “Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more details on all special items for the periods presented relate to a LCM adjustment. LCM is a GAAP guideline related to inventory valuation that requires 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 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

44


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 a LCM adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between the prior period and the current period.disclosed. Although we believe that non-GAAPNon-GAAP financial measures, excluding the impact of special items, provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the results and performance of our business and allow for more usefulhelpful period-over-period comparisons, such non-GAAPNon-GAAP measures should only be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (loss) and Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) Excluding Special Items
PBF Energy utilizes results presented on an Adjusted Fully-Converted basis that reflects an assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. In addition, we present results on an Adjusted Fully-Converted basis excluding special items as described above. We believe that these Adjusted Fully-Converted measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare PBF Energy results across different periods and to facilitate an understanding of our operating results. Neither Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (loss) nor Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) excluding special items should be considered an alternative to net income presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (loss) and Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) excluding special items presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently. The differences between Adjusted Fully-Converted and GAAP results are as follows:
1.
Assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. As a result of the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units, the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. Management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units.
2.
Income Taxes. Prior to PBF Energy’s initial public offering (“IPO”), PBF Energy was organized as a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, and even after PBF Energy’s IPO, not all of its earnings are subject to corporate-level income taxes. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Fully-Converted tax provisions and earnings to assume that PBF Energy had adopted its post-IPO corporate tax structure for all periods presented and is taxed as a C-corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates. These assumptions are consistent with the assumption in clause 1 above that all PBF LLC Series A Units are exchanged for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock, as the assumed exchange would change the amount of PBF Energy’s earnings that are subject to corporate income tax.

Gross Refining Margin and Gross Refining Margin Excluding Special Items
Gross refining margin is defined as consolidated gross margin excluding refinery depreciation, refinery operating expenses,expense, and gross margin of PBFX. We believe both gross refining margin is anand gross refining margin excluding special items are important measuremeasures of operating performance and providesprovide useful information to investors because it is a betterthey are helpful metric comparison forcomparisons to the industry refining margin benchmarks, as the refining margin benchmarks do not include a charge for refinery operating expenses and depreciation. In order to assess our operating performance, we compare our gross refining margin (revenue less cost of sales)products and other) to industry refining margin benchmarks and crude oil prices as defined in the table below.
GrossNeither gross refining margin nor gross refining margin excluding special items should not be considered an alternative to consolidated gross margin, operating income from operations, net cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Gross refining margin and gross refining margin excluding special items presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define this termthese terms differently.

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 secured notes and other credit facilities. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to operating income from operations or net income 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 equity-basedadjustments for items such as stock-based compensation expense, gains (losses) from certain derivative activities and contingent consideration and the non-cash change in the deferralfair value of gross profit related to the sale of certain finished products andcatalyst leases, the write down of inventory to the LCM.LCM, changes in the liability for Tax Receivable Agreement due to factors out of PBF Energy’s control such as changes in tax rates, debt extinguishment costs related to refinancing activities, and certain other non-cash items. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting itstheir usefulness as a comparative measure.measures. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA also hashave limitations as an analytical tooltools 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:
does
do not reflect depreciation expense or our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
doesdo not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
doesdo not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
doesdo not reflect realized and unrealized gains and losses from certain hedging activities, which may have a substantial impact on our cash flow;
doesdo not reflect certain other non-cash income and expenses; and

LCM inventory adjustment - LCM is a GAAP requirement related to value its inventoriesinventory valuation that mandates inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or market which resulted in a net impact of $208.3 million reflecting the change inmarket. 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 reserve from $562.9 million at June 30, 2015 to $771.3 million at September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recordeddeclines substantially, cost values of inventory may exceed market values. In such instances, we record an adjustment to write down the value its inventoriesof inventory to market value in accordance with GAAP.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2019, other than outstanding letters of credit in the amount of approximately $152.7$283.7 million.
In March 2015, we sold 515 of our owned crude railcars and concurrently entered into a lease agreement for the same railcars. The lease agreements for the railcars have varying terms from five to seven years. We received a cash payment for the railcars of approximately $77.6 million and expect to make payments totaling $44.9 million over the term of the lease for these railcars.
In June 2015, we sold 404 of our owned crude railcars and concurrently entered into lease agreements for the same railcars. The lease agreements for the railcars have varying terms from five to six years. We received aggregate cash payments for the railcars of approximately $60.5 million and expect to make payments totaling $36.0 million over the term of the lease for these railcars.
In July 2015, we sold 131 of our owned crude railcars and concurrently entered into lease agreements for the same railcars. The lease agreements for the railcars have six year terms. We received aggregate cash payments for the railcars of approximately $19.3 million and expect to make payments totaling $11.9 million over the term of the lease for these railcars.

Tax Receivable Agreement Obligations
We expect that the payments that we may make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. As of June 30, 2019, PBF Energy usedhas recognized a portionliability for the Tax Receivable Agreement of $373.5 million reflecting our estimate of the proceeds from its initial public offeringundiscounted amounts that we expect to purchase PBF LLC Series A Units frompay under the membersagreement due to exchanges of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy. In addition, the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy may (subject to the terms of the exchange agreement) exchange their PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy’s Class A common stock that occurred prior to that date, and to range over the next five years from approximately $30.0 million to $65.0 million per year and decline thereafter. In addition, under certain circumstances, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and determined based on certain assumptions set forth therein.

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 for 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 inventory intermediationofftake agreements as well as through the use of various commodity derivative instruments.
Certain of our agreements reduce the time we are exposed to market price fluctuations. For example, our crude and feedstock supply agreement with Statoil allows us to take title to and price our crude oil at locations in close proximity to our refineries, as opposed to the crude oil origination point. The crude supply agreement with MSCG for our Toledo refinery, which terminated on July 31, 2014, allowed us to price and pay for our crude oil as it is processed at that refinery.
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 theour 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.
At SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 and December 31, 2014,2018, we had gross open commodity derivative contracts representing 47.918.6 million barrels and 49.37.4 million barrels, respectively, with an unrealized net gain of $22.8$19.0 million and $31.2$7.2 million, respectively. The open commodity derivative contracts as of SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 expire at various times during 2015 and 2016.2019.
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 19.331.8 million barrels and 18.630.5 million barrels at SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 and December 31, 2014,2018, respectively. The average cost of our hydrocarbon inventories was approximately $95.09$79.35 and $94.29$78.78 per barrel on a LIFO basis at SeptemberJune 30, 20152019 and December 31, 2014,2018, respectively, excluding the net impact of LCM inventory adjustments of approximately $771.3$327.8 million and $690.1$651.8 million, respectively. If market prices of our inventory decline to a level below theour average cost, we may be required to further write down the carrying value of our hydrocarbon inventories to market.
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 37between 68 million and 73 million MMBTUs of natural gas amongst our three refineries.five refineries as of June 30, 2019. Accordingly, a $1.00 per MMBTU change in natural gas prices would increase or decrease our natural gas costs by approximately $37$68.0 million to $73.0 million.

Compliance Program Price Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs")RINs required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard.RFS. 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 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 requires the state to reduce its GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
Interest Rate Risk
The maximum commitment under our Revolving Credit Facility is $3.4 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving LoanCredit Facility bear interest either at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin, all as defined in the agreement. The Applicable Margin ranges from 1.50% to 2.25% for Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans and from 0.50% to 1.25% for Alternative Base Rate Loans, depending on the Company's debt rating.Revolving Credit Agreement. If this facility werewas fully drawn, a one percent1.0% change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by $26.0approximately $21.5 million annually.
The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility, andwith a maximum commitment of $500.0 million, bears interest either at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin, all as defined in the PBFX Revolving Credit Agreement. If this facility was fully drawn, a 1.0% change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $4.2 million annually.
In addition, the PBF Rail Term Loan, bearwhich bears interest at a variable rate, and exposes us to interest rate risk.had an outstanding principal balance of $18.1 million at June 30, 2019. A 1.0% change in the interest rate associated with the borrowings outstanding under these facilities would result in a $4.5 million change inincrease or decrease our interest expense by approximately $0.2 million annually, assuming we were to borrow all $325.0 million under our PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and the current outstanding principal balance of our PBFXon the PBF Rail Term Loan was $234.2 million.
The Rail Facility bears interest at a variable rate and exposes us to interest rate risk. A 1.0% change in the interest rate associated with the borrowings outstanding under this facility would result in a $1.5 million change in our interest expense, assuming the $150.0 million available under the Rail Facility were fully drawn.remained outstanding.
We also have interest rate exposure in connection with our Statoil crude oil agreement and J. Aron Inventory 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 will continue to closely monitor the creditworthiness of customers to whom we grant credit and establish credit limits in accordance with our credit policy.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Delaware City Rail Terminal and DCR West Rack are collocated with the Delaware City refinery, and are located in Delaware's coastal zone where certain activities are regulated under the Delaware Coastal Zone act. On June 14, 2013, two administrative appeals were filed by the Sierra Club and Delaware Audubon (collectively the "Appellants") regarding an air permit Delaware City Refining Company LLC ("Delaware City Refining" or "DCR") obtained to allow loading of crude oil onto barges. The appeals allege that both the loading of crude oil onto barges and the operation of the Delaware City Rail Terminal violate Delaware’s Coastal Zone Act. The first appeal is Number 2013-1 before the State Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board (the “CZ Board”), and the second appeal is before the Environmental Appeals Board (the "EAB") and appeals Secretary’s Order No. 2013-A-0020. The CZ Board held a hearing on the first appeal on July 16, 2013, and ruled in favor of Delaware City Refining and the State of Delaware and dismissed the Appellants’ appeal for lack of standing. The Appellants appealed that decision to the Delaware Superior Court, New Castle County, Case No. N13A-09-001 ALR, and Delaware City Refining and the State of Delaware filed cross-appeals. A hearing on the second appeal before the EAB, case no. 2013-06, was held on January 13, 2014, and the EAB ruled in favor of DCR and the State and dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The Appellants also filed a Notice of Appeal with the Superior Court appealing the EAB’s decision. On March 31, 2015 the Superior Court affirmed the decisions by both the CZ Board and the EAB stating they both lacked jurisdiction to rule on the Appellants' appeal. The Appellants appealed to the Delaware Supreme Court, and, on November 5, 2015, the Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court decision.
On July 24, 2013, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control ("DNREC")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 this assessment in addition to other Notices of Violation (“NOVs”) and DNREC claims of noncompliance related to activities at the assessment.
AsDelaware City Refinery that have occurred since June 1, 2010, including associated Title V Permit deviations. In addition, Delaware City Refining Company has reported to DNREC that measured levels of November 1, 2015,particulate matter emissions from certain coke management facilities have exceeded applicable permit standards. Delaware City Refining Company has instituted measures to improve the performance of these systems and believes that particulate matter emissions now comply with applicable standards. Delaware City Refining Company acquired Chalmettewill conduct additional testing in late August 2019 to confirm this expectation. DNREC and Delaware City Refining Company have completed negotiations of a comprehensive settlement agreement to resolve all DNREC claims for air quality issues at the Delaware City Refinery through October 31, 2018, and for the particulate matter emission issue related to the coke management sources through the effective date of the agreement. The agreement, which is expected to be executed shortly, provides for resolution of DNREC’s claims, a penalty payment by Delaware City Refining Company of $950,000, and no admission of liability by Delaware City Refining Company with respect to the alleged air quality violations. The agreement will also result in discussionsmodification and reissuance by DNREC of certain air quality permits for the refinery to resolve claims by Delaware City Refining Company objecting to certain prior permit conditions.
The Delaware City refinery appealed a Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order issued in March 2017, including a $150,000 fine, alleging violation of a 2013 Secretary’s Order authorizing crude oil shipment by barge. 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, the Delaware City refinery appealed the Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order. On March 5, 2018, Notice of Penalty Assessment was settled by DNREC, the Delaware Attorney General and Delaware City refinery for $100,000. The Delaware City refinery made no admissions with respect to the alleged violations and agreed to request a Coastal Zone Act status decision prior to making crude oil shipments to destinations other than Paulsboro. The Delaware City refinery has paid the penalty. The Coastal Zone Act status decision request was submitted to DNREC and the outstanding appeal was withdrawn as required under settlement agreement. DNREC has confirmed that Delaware City Refining Company has fully satisfied its obligations under the agreement, and therefore that the resolution of liability provided under the agreement has taken effect.

On December 28, 2016, DNREC issued 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 Board held a public hearing and dismissed the appeal, determining that the appellants did not have standing. The appellants filed an appeal of the Coastal Zone Board’s decision with the Louisiana DepartmentSuperior Court on March 30, 2017. On January 19, 2018, the Superior Court rendered an Opinion regarding the decision of Environmental Quality ("LDEQ")the Coastal Zone Board to resolve self-reported deviationsdismiss the appeal of the Ethanol Permit for the ethanol project. The judge 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 ethanol 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 have filed a joint motion with the Coastal Zone Board, requesting that the 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 a hearing on the merits before the Coastal Zone Board.
At the time we acquired the Toledo refinery, operations relatingEPA had initiated an investigation into the compliance of the refinery with EPA standards governing flaring pursuant to Section 114 of the Clean Air Act. On February 1, 2013, EPA issued an Amended Notice of Violation (“NOV”), and on September 20, 2013, EPA issued a NOV and Finding of Violation to Toledo refinery, alleging certain violations of the Clean Air Act Title V permit conditions, limitsat its Plant 4 and other requirementsPlant 9 flares since the acquisition of the refinery on March 1, 2011. Toledo refinery and EPA subsequently entered into tolling agreements pending settlement discussions. Although the resolution has not been finalized, the civil administrative penalty is anticipated to be approximately $645,000 including supplemental environmental projects. To the extent the administrative penalty exceeds such amount, it is not expected to be material to us.
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 NOVs issued by regulatory agencies in various years before our 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”).
In connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, we agreed to take responsibility for NOV No. P63405 that ExxonMobil had received from the SCAQMD for Title V deviations that are alleged to have occurred in 2015. On August 14, 2018, we received a letter from SCAQMD offering to settle this NOV for $515,250. On February 22, 2019, the SCAQMD reduced their settlement offer to $268,500 which the Torrance refinery accepted and paid on May 8, 2019 to resolve this NOV with the SCAQMD.
Subsequent to the acquisition, further NOVs were issued by the Company. LDEQ commenced an enforcement action against Chalmette RefiningSCAQMD, Cal/OSHA, the City of Torrance, the City of Torrance Fire 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 the EPA’s issuance of the preliminary findings in March 2017, the Company has been in substantive discussions to resolve the preliminary findings. In the course of these discussions, on November 8, 2018, EPA made an offer to settle all preliminary findings for $480,000. The Company is currently in communication with EPA to resolve the RMP preliminary findings.

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, 2014 by issuing2018, the Torrance refinery and DTSC reached settlement regarding the oil bearing materials in the form of a Consolidated Compliance Orderstipulation and Notice of Potential Penalty ("CCO/NOPP") covering deviations from 2009 and 2010. Chalmette Refining and LDEQ subsequently entered into a dispute resolution agreement, which suspends enforcementorder, wherein the Torrance refinery agreed that it would recycle or properly dispose of the CCO/NOPP while negotiations are ongoing. It is possible that LDEQ will assessoil bearing materials by the end of 2018 and pay an administrative penalty against Chalmette Refining,of $150,000. The Torrance refinery has complied with these requirements. 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 for final resolution. The Torrance refinery and the California Attorney General are in discussions to resolve these alleged remaining RCRA violations. Other than the $150,000 DTSC administrative penalty, no other settlement or penalty demands have been received to date with respect to any of the other NOVs, preliminary findings, or order that are in excess of $100,000. As the ultimate outcomes are uncertain, we cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of their resolution but any such amount is not expected to behave a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, individually or in the aggregate.
On December 5, 1990, prior to our ownership of the Chalmette refinery, the plaintiff in Adam Thomas, et al. v. Exxon Mobil Corporation and Chalmette Refining, L.L.C., filed an action on behalf of himself and potentially thousands of other individuals in St. Bernard Parish and Orleans Parish who were allegedly exposed to hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide as a result of more than 100 separate flaring events that occurred between 1989 and 2010. This litigation is proceeding as a mass action with individually named plaintiffs as a result of a 2008 trial court decision, affirmed by the court of appeals that denied class certification. The plaintiffs claim to have suffered physical injuries, property damage, and other damages as a result of the releases. Plaintiffs seek to recover unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, interest, and costs. The parties are preparing for an October 2019 mini-trial of up to 10 plaintiffs, relating to as many as 5 separate flaring events that occurred between 2002 and 2007. Because of the number of potential claimants is unknown and the differing events underlying the claims, the potential amount of the claims is not determinable. It is possible that an adverse outcome may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On February 17, 2017, in Arnold Goldstein, et al. v. Exxon Mobil Corporation, et al., 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 Corporation 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, ultrahazardous 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 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 Company.ESP explosion, Exxon has retained responsibility for any liabilities that would arise from the lawsuit pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of the Torrance refinery. On 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. On March 18, 2019, the class certification hearing was held and the judge took the matter under submission. On April 1, 2019, the judge issued an order denying class certification. On April 15, 2019, Plaintiffs filed a Petition with the Ninth Circuit for Permission to Appeal the Order Denying Motion for Class Certification. The appeal is currently pending with the Ninth Circuit. 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. Our opposition to the motion was filed on July 29, 2019. The hearing on Plaintiffs’ motion is currently scheduled for September 23, 2019. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On September 18, 2018, in Michelle Kendig and Jim Kendig, et al. v. ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, et al., PBF Energy Limited and Torrance Refining Company LLC along with ExxonMobil Oil Corporation and ExxonMobil Pipeline Company were named as defendants in a class action and representative action complaint filed on behalf of Michelle Kendig, Jim Kendig and others similarly situated. The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles and alleges failure to authorize and permit uninterrupted rest and meal periods, failure to furnish accurate wage statements, violation of the Private Attorneys General Act and violation of the California Unfair Business and Competition Law. Plaintiffs seek to recover unspecified economic damages, statutory damages, civil penalties provided by statute, disgorgement of profits, injunctive relief, declaratory relief, interest, attorney’s fees and costs. To the extent that plaintiffs’ claims accrued prior to July 1, 2016, ExxonMobil has retained responsibility for any liabilities that would arise from the lawsuit pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and logistics assets. On October 26, 2018, the matter was removed to the Federal Court, California Central District. A mediation hearing between the parties is currently scheduled for August 23, 2019. As this matter is in the class certification phase, we cannot currently estimate the amount or the timing of its resolution. 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, etal., the Plaintiff filed an action in the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, alleges numerous causes of action, including wrongful death, premises liability, negligence, and gross negligence against PBF Holding Company LLC, PBFX Operating Company LLC, Chalmette Refining, L.L.C., two individual employees of the Chalmette Refinery (“the PBF Defendants”), two entities, PBF Consultants, LLC and PBF Investments, LLC 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 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. The PBF Defendants have issued a tender of defense and indemnity to Clean Harbors and its insurer pursuant to indemnity obligations contained in the associated services agreement. 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 December 21, 2018, Plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file a reply memorandum and the reply memorandum was filed December 27, 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, LLC and PBF Investments, LLC. 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, LLC and PBF Investments, LLC. As this matter was recently filed, we cannot currently estimate the amount or the timing of its resolution. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We are subject to obligations to purchase RINs. On February 15, 2017, we received notification that EPA records indicated that PBF Holding used potentially invalid RINs that were in fact verified under 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. We have asserted the affirmative defense and if accepted by 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 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.

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.

Item 1A.Risk Factors
There have been no material changes fromThe following risk factors supplement and/or update the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the section entitled "Risk Factors"year ended December 31, 2018:
Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry
Our announced Martinez Acquisition may not close when we expect, or at all, and may pose unforeseen risks and/or not have the benefits we expect.
On June 11, 2019, we entered into an agreement to purchase the Martinez refinery and related logistics assets. The aggregate purchase price for the Martinez Acquisition will range from $900.0 million to $1.0 billion in cash, based on closing date, plus inventory and working capital to be determined at closing. The purchase price is also subject to other customary purchase price adjustments. The Martinez Acquisition is expected to close in the Prospectus.second half of 2019, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that we will complete the Martinez Acquisition under the terms set forth in the purchase agreement, or at all. We expect to finance the transaction through a combination of cash on hand and debt. The Martinez Acquisition is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including (i) the possibility that the announced acquisition will be delayed or will not close due to the failure of either party to satisfy the closing conditions, or for other reasons, (ii) the risk that the Martinez refinery will not be integrated into our company successfully or that expected benefits will not be realized and (iii) unforeseen liabilities associated with the Martinez Acquisition.
