PREMCOR ANNOUNCES RECORD FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2004 RESULTS,
DECLARES FIRST QUARTER COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND
OLD GREENWICH, Connecticut, January 27, 2005—Premcor Inc. (NYSE: PCO) today reported net income from continuing operations (excluding special items) of $159.9 million, or $1.74 per share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2004 and net income from continuing operations (excluding special items) of $497.5 million, or $5.75 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2004. These results compare to net income from continuing operations (excluding special items) of $13.1 million, or $.18 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2003 and net income from continuing operations (excluding special items) of $165.2 million, or $2.24 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Including the impact of special items and discontinued operations, Premcor reported net income of $153.4 million, or $1.67 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2004, compared to a net loss of $10.4 million, or $.14 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2004, Premcor’s net income including special items and discontinued operations was $477.9 million, or $5.52 per share, compared to net income of $116.6 million, or $1.58 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2003.

(1) | Full year amounts in 2004 included a pretax charge totaling $19.5 million, consisting of $7.3 million related to the relocation of the company’s St. Louis general office to its Connecticut headquarters, $3.1 million related to non-operating assets and $9.1 million related to environmental charges. Full year amounts in 2003 included pretax charges related to the relocation of the company’s St. Louis office to its Connecticut headquarters ($7.5 million), environmental remediation and litigation costs associated with closed facilities ($10.2 million), and closure and asset write-offs related to the sale of the Hartford refinery assets and closure of the Blue Island refinery ($20.8 million). |
Jefferson F. Allen, Premcor’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our record earnings for the quarter reflected to a large degree Premcor’s ability to capture the wider price differentials between light low-sulfur crude oil and heavy high-sulfur crude oil processed at our Port Arthur and Delaware City refineries. While the basic sweet crude oil refining margins were seasonally good during the fourth quarter, the real story was in the light-heavy crude oil spreads. The Maya/WTI differential averaged more than $16 per barrel during the period, and the Arab Medium/WTI differential averaged more than $9 per barrel. The combination of worldwide crude production becoming heavier and higher-sulfur; increasing demand for light low-sulfur crude oil; limited heavy high-sulfur crude oil refining capacity; and tightening environmental standards for products in many major global markets has led to a strong environment for high-conversion, pure-play refiners.”
Concerning the full year 2004, Allen said, “The successful acquisition and integration of the Delaware City refinery during the year has given us local production capability in the product-short East Coast market and enhanced the quality and diversity of our asset base. Delaware City’s ability to process Arab medium and heavy crude oils has increased Premcor’s heavy high-sulfur refining capacity to over 55% of our total. With four quarters of strong earnings and cash flows, we ended 2004 with a dramatically improved balance sheet and improved liquidity despite heavy capital spending during the year. At December 31, we had over $800 million in cash, over $500 million in available credit under our bank facility, and a debt-to-capitalization ratio of approximately 46%. The Company is in its strongest financial shape ever, and is in a good position to both fund its capital program and take advantage of whatever growth opportunities the market may bring.”
Regarding the company’s operations, Allen commented, “Our refineries ran well during the quarter. However, fourth quarter results were limited by scheduled turnaround maintenance at the Delaware City refinery’s cat cracker. That turnaround began on September 25 and ended on November 17, for a total downtime of 54 days. The turnaround extended 14 days past the original plan due to more extensive repairs being completed. For the
fourth quarter, the Port Arthur, Lima, Memphis and Delaware City refineries averaged 258,000, 148,000, 150,000, and 167,000 barrels per day of total throughput, respectively.”
Looking ahead, Allen said, “The light-heavy spreads remain wide as we head into the first quarter, with the Maya/WTI spread over $16 per barrel and the Arab Medium/WTI spread over $10 per barrel. However, our ability to capitalize on these wide differentials will be limited by scheduled plant-wide turnaround maintenance at our Port Arthur refinery. The crude unit, coker and hydrocracker were all shut down the first week of January, and we expect these units to be back on-line in early February. Scheduled maintenance on the Port Arthur cat cracker and alkylation units will be performed in February and March. Throughput rates, including intermediate feedstocks, for the entire first quarter should average approximately as follows: Port Arthur at 150,000 to 160,000 bpd; Lima at 145,000 to 155,000 bpd; Memphis at 150,000 to 160,000 bpd; and Delaware City at 175,000 to 185,000 bpd.”
Premcor also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $.02 per share payable on March 15 to shareholders of record on March 1.
The company’s regular quarterly conference call concerning the quarter and full year results will be webcast live today at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the Investor Relations section of the Premcor Inc. website at www.premcor.com. Slides for the conference call will also be available on the Investor Relations section of our website.

Calculation Methodology:
Although the Company manages its refinery business, including feedstock acquisition and product marketing, on an integrated basis, for analytical purposes the business results shown here have been allocated to the individual refineries. The foundation for determining realized gross margin by refinery is the actual delivered cost of refinery feedstocks and a daily valuation of actual refinery production at market. Since crude oil is often purchased and priced well in advance of the time that it is consumed and the value of refinery production can be fixed before or after it is produced, our actual results may significantly vary from those that would be determined with reference to benchmark market indicators. We manage this inherent price risk on a total Company basis and may purchase futures contracts that correspond volumetrically with all or a portion of our fixed price purchase and sale commitments. As a result, we have separately identified the financial effects of this price risk, net of any risk mitigation activities, under the caption “price risk results”. Also included in the price risk results are our forward sale of crack spreads. As a result of this methodology, together with certain necessary allocations, the individual refinery realized gross margins presented here do not reflect the results that would be reported if separately accounted for in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that this individual refinery and price risk information is helpful in understanding our overall operating results.

Calculation Methodology:
Although the Company manages its refinery business, including feedstock acquisition and product marketing, on an integrated basis, for analytical purposes the business results shown here have been allocated to the individual refineries. The foundation for determining realized gross margin by refinery is the actual delivered cost of refinery feedstocks and a daily valuation of actual refinery production at market. Since crude oil is often purchased and priced well in advance of the time that it is consumed and the value of refinery production can be fixed before or after it is produced, our actual results may significantly vary from those that would be determined with reference to benchmark market indicators. We manage this inherent price risk on a total Company basis and may purchase futures contracts that correspond volumetrically with all or a portion of our fixed price purchase and sale commitments. As a result, we have separately identified the financial effects of this price risk, net of any risk mitigation activities, under the caption “price risk results”. Also included in the price risk results are our forward sale of crack spreads. As a result of this methodology, together with certain necessary allocations, the individual refinery realized gross margins presented here do not reflect the results that would be reported if separately accounted for in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that this individual refinery and price risk information is helpful in understanding our overall operating results.
