(4) | The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) available to stockholders under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to adjusted net income (loss) available to stockholders utilized in determining adjusted earnings (loss) per share, excluding after-tax employee retention expense, after-tax expenses related to Delek merger, after-tax (gain) loss on asphalt inventory adjustment, after-tax unrealized losses on commodity swaps and after-tax (gain) loss on disposition of assets. Adjusted net income (loss) available to stockholders is not a recognized measurement under GAAP; however, the amounts included in adjusted net income (loss) available to stockholders are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. Our management believes that the presentation of adjusted net income (loss) available to stockholders and adjusted earnings (loss) per share, excluding these items, is useful to investors because it provides a more meaningful measurement for evaluation of our Company’s operating results. |

(5) | Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, depreciation and amortization, (gain) loss on disposition of assets and unrealized (gains) losses on commodity swaps. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP; however, the amounts included in Adjusted EBITDA are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. Our management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. In addition, our management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, (gain) loss on disposition of assets, unrealized (gains) losses on commodity swaps and the accounting effects of capital expenditures and acquisitions, items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. |
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| |
• | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| |
• | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; |
| |
• | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the prior claim that non-controlling interest have on the income generated by non-wholly-owned subsidiaries; |
| |
• | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs; and |
| |
• | Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from EBITDA calculations of other companies in our industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.
The following table reconciles net income (loss) available to stockholders to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

Adjusted EBITDA does not exclude gains (losses) of $1,028 and $(2,003) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $2,741 and $(2,003) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, resulting from a price adjustment related to asphalt inventory.
| |
(6) | Includes corporate capital expenditures of $116 and $689 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $202 and $2,125 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which are not allocated to our three operating segments. |
| |
(7) | During 2017, we adopted the FASB’s recently issued accounting guidance simplifying the presentation of deferred income taxes. As a result of adopting this guidance, our current deferred income tax asset that had previously been included as a current asset in our consolidated balance sheets has been reclassified as a reduction of our non-current deferred income tax liability. These changes have been applied retrospectively to all periods presented. |
| |
(8) | Net sales include intersegment sales to our asphalt and retail segments at prices which approximate wholesale market prices. These intersegment sales are eliminated through consolidation of our financial statements. |
| |
(9) | Refinery operating margin is a per barrel measurement calculated by dividing the margin between net sales and cost of sales (exclusive of certain adjustments) attributable to each refinery by the refinery’s throughput volumes. Industry-wide refining results are driven and measured by the margins between refined product prices and the prices for crude oil, which are referred to as crack spreads. We compare our refinery operating margins to these crack spreads to assess our operating performance relative to other participants in our industry. |
The refinery operating margin for the six months ended June 30, 2017 excludes a benefit of $27,746 related to the EPA approval of a small refinery exemption for the Krotz Springs refinery from the requirements of the renewable fuel standard for the 2016 calendar year. The refinery operating margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 excludes realized and unrealized gains on commodity swaps of $96 and $461.
| |
(10) | The California renewable fuels facility operating margin is a per barrel measurement calculated by dividing the facility’s margin between net sales and cost of sales by the facility’s throughput volumes. Included in net sales are environmental credits in the form of RINs, low-carbon fuel standards credits and blender’s tax credits, when effective, generated by the facility. |
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we received no benefit from the federal blender’s tax credit as this legislation expired on December 31, 2016. However, if the blender’s tax credit is reinstated and becomes effective retroactive to the beginning of 2017, we will record additional pre-tax income of approximately $13,338, or $34.52 per barrel of throughput, related to product sales during the half of 2017 at the California renewable fuels facility.
| |
(11) | Refinery direct operating expense is a per barrel measurement calculated by dividing direct operating expenses at our refineries by the applicable refinery’s total throughput volumes. |
| |
(12) | We compare our Big Spring refinery’s operating margin to the Gulf Coast 3/2/1 crack spread. A Gulf Coast 3/2/1 crack spread is calculated assuming that three barrels of WTI Cushing crude oil are converted, or cracked, into two barrels of Gulf Coast conventional gasoline and one barrel of Gulf Coast ultra-low sulfur diesel. |
We compare our Krotz Springs refinery’s operating margin to the Gulf Coast 2/1/1 high sulfur diesel crack spread. A Gulf Coast 2/1/1 high sulfur diesel crack spread is calculated assuming that two barrels of LLS crude oil are converted into one barrel of Gulf Coast conventional gasoline and one barrel of Gulf Coast high sulfur diesel.
| |
(13) | The WTI Cushing less WTI Midland spread represents the differential between the average price per barrel of WTI Cushing crude oil and the average price per barrel of WTI Midland crude oil. The WTI Cushing less WTS, or sweet/sour, spread represents the differential between the average price per barrel of WTI Cushing crude oil and the average price per barrel of WTS crude oil. The LLS less WTI Cushing spread represents the differential between the average price per barrel of LLS crude oil and the average price per barrel of WTI Cushing crude oil. The Brent less WTI Cushing spread represents the differential between the average price per barrel of Brent crude oil and the average price per barrel of WTI Cushing crude oil. The Brent less LLS spread represents the differential between the average price per barrel of Brent crude oil and the average price per barrel of LLS crude oil. |
| |
(14) | Total refinery throughput represents the total barrels per day of crude oil and blendstock inputs in the refinery production process. Total throughput for the California renewable fuels facility represents the total barrels per day of tallow and vegetable oils used by the facility for the period following March 1, 2016. |
| |
(15) | Total refinery production represents the barrels per day of various products produced from processing crude and other refinery feedstocks through the crude units and other conversion units at the refineries. Total production for the California renewable fuels facility represents the total barrels per day produced from processing tallow and vegetable oils through the facility’s units for the period following March 1, 2016. |
| |
(16) | Refinery utilization represents average daily crude oil throughput divided by crude oil capacity, excluding planned periods of downtime for maintenance and turnarounds. |
| |
(17) | Net sales and cost of sales include asphalt purchases sold as part of a supply and offtake arrangement of $5,649 and $4,054 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $19,046 and $18,172 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The volumes associated with these sales are excluded from the Key Operating Statistics. |
| |
(18) | Cost of sales includes intersegment purchases of asphalt blends and motor fuels from our refining and marketing segment at prices which approximate wholesale market prices. These intersegment purchases are eliminated through consolidation of our financial statements. |
| |
(19) | Blended asphalt represents base material asphalt that has been blended with other materials necessary to sell the asphalt as a finished product. |
| |
(20) | Non-blended asphalt represents base material asphalt and other components that require additional blending before being sold as a finished product. |
| |
(21) | Asphalt margin is a per ton measurement calculated by dividing the margin between net sales and cost of sales by the total sales volume. Asphalt margins are used in the asphalt industry to measure operating results related to asphalt sales. |
Asphalt margin excludes gains (losses) of $1,028 and $(2,003) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $2,741 and $(2,003) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, resulting from a price adjustment related to asphalt inventory. These gains are included in operating loss of the asphalt segment.

(22) | At June 30, 2017, we had 302 retail convenience stores of which 293 sold fuel. At June 30, 2016, we had 306 retail convenience stores of which 296 sold fuel. |
| |
(23) | Retail fuel margin represents the difference between retail fuel sales revenue and the net cost of purchased retail fuel, including transportation costs and associated excise taxes, expressed on a cents-per-gallon basis. Retail fuel margins are frequently used in the retail industry to measure operating results related to retail fuel sales. |
| |
(24) | Retail fuel sales price per gallon represents the average sales price for retail fuels sold through our retail convenience stores. |
| |
(25) | Merchandise margin represents the difference between merchandise sales revenues and the delivered cost of merchandise purchases, net of rebates and commissions, expressed as a percentage of merchandise sales revenues. Merchandise margins, also referred to as in-store margins, are commonly used in the retail industry to measure in-store, or non-fuel, operating results. |
