NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As used in this report, the terms “Tesoro,” “we,” “us” or “our” may refer to Tesoro Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries or all of them taken as a whole. The words “we,” “us” or “our” generally include Tesoro Logistics LP (“TLLP”) and its subsidiaries as consolidated subsidiaries of Tesoro Corporation with certain exceptions where there are transactions or obligations between TLLP and Tesoro Corporation or its other subsidiaries. When used in descriptions of agreements and transactions, “TLLP” or the “Partnership” refers to TLLP and its consolidated subsidiaries, including its 58% interest in QEP Midstream Partners, LP (“QEPM”), a publicly traded limited partnership, and its subsidiaries.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Tesoro Corporation and its subsidiaries have been prepared by management without audit according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been condensed from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate to present the information fairly. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain prior year balances have been aggregated or disaggregated in order to conform to the current year presentation. Due to there being no adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, consolidated statements of comprehensive income have been omitted.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include TLLP, a variable interest entity. As the general partner of TLLP, we have the sole ability to direct the activities of TLLP that most significantly impact its economic performance. We are also considered to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes and are TLLP’s primary customer. Under our various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with TLLP, transactions with us accounted for 56% and 88% of TLLP’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In the event TLLP incurs a loss, our operating results will reflect TLLP’s loss, net of intercompany eliminations. See Note 2 for additional information relating to TLLP.

On September 25, 2013, we completed the sale of all of our interest in Tesoro Hawaii, LLC, which operated a 94 thousand barrel per day Hawaii refinery, retail stations and associated logistics assets (the “Hawaii Business”). The results of operations for this business have been presented as discontinued operations in the condensed statements of consolidated operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. There were no revenues for either the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014. We recorded losses, before and after tax of $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 related to the Hawaii Business. There were no recorded losses, before or after tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. There were no cash flows for either the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014. Unless otherwise noted, the information in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements relates to our continuing operations.

New Accounting Standards and Disclosures

Revenue Recognition. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) in May 2014 providing accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The requirements from the new ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The FASB has proposed a one-year deferral of the effective date; however, this proposal has not been finalized. The standard allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. At this time, we are evaluating the guidance to determine the method of adoption and the impact of this ASU on our financial statements and related disclosures.

(Unaudited)

Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 which will simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. Under the new ASU, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability will be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. As a result, our balance sheet will reflect a reclassification of unamortized debt issuance costs from other noncurrent assets to debt. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. We have adopted this standard effective as of March 31, 2015 and applied the changes retrospectively to the prior periods presented. Adoption of this standard has resulted in the reclassification of $93 million from other noncurrent assets to debt on the balance sheet at December 31, 2014. Unamortized debt issuance costs of $89 million are recorded as a reduction to debt on the balance sheet at March 31, 2015.

NOTE 2 – TESORO LOGISTICS LP

TLLP is a publicly traded limited partnership that was formed to own, operate, develop and acquire logistics assets. Its assets are integral to the success of Tesoro’s refining and marketing operations and are used to gather crude oil and natural gas, process natural gas, and distribute, transport and store crude oil and refined products. TLLP’s gathering assets consist of crude oil gathering systems in the Williston Basin located in North Dakota and natural gas gathering systems in the Green River and Uinta Basins located in Wyoming and Utah. Its processing assets include four gas processing complexes and a fractionation facility in or around the Green River and Uinta Basins. Its terminalling and transportation assets consist of:

• 24 crude oil and refined products terminals and storage facilities in the western and midwestern United States;

• four marine terminals in California;

• 140 miles of pipelines, which transport products and crude oil from Tesoro’s refineries to nearby facilities in Salt Lake City, Utah and Los Angeles, California;

• the Northwest Products Pipeline, which includes a regulated common carrier products pipeline running from Salt Lake City, Utah to Spokane, Washington and a jet fuel pipeline to the Salt Lake City International Airport;

• a rail-car unloading facility in Washington;

• a petroleum coke handling and storage facility in Los Angeles, California; and

• a regulated common carrier refined products pipeline system connecting Tesoro’s Kenai refinery terminals to terminals in Anchorage, Alaska.

Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (“TLGP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, serves as the general partner of TLLP. We held an approximate 36% interest in TLLP at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, including a 2% general partner interest and all of the incentive distribution rights. This interest at March 31, 2015 includes 28,181,748 common units and 1,631,448 general partner units.

TLLP acquired assets related to, and entities engaged in, natural gas gathering, transportation and processing in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and North Dakota (the “Rockies Natural Gas Business”) through its acquisition of QEP Field Services, LLC (“QEPFS”) from QEP Resources, Inc. on December 2, 2014 for $2.5 billion. QEPFS holds an approximate 56% limited partner interest in QEPM, consisting of 3,701,750 common units and 26,705,000 subordinated units, and 100% of QEPM’s general partner, QEP Midstream Partners GP, LLC (“QEPM GP”), which itself holds a 2% general partner interest and all of the incentive distribution rights in QEPM. All intercompany transactions with TLLP and QEPM are eliminated upon consolidation.

On April 6, 2015, TLLP entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with TLGP, QEPFS, TLLP Merger Sub LLC (“Merger Sub”), QEPM, and QEPM GP. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions in the Merger Agreement, upon the later of the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of a certificate of merger or the later date and time set forth in such certificate, Merger Sub will merge with and into QEPM, with QEPM surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of TLLP (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, QEPM GP will remain the general partner of QEPM, and all outstanding common units representing limited partnership interests in QEPM (the “QEPM Common Units”) other than QEPM Common Units held by QEPFS will be converted into the right to receive 0.3088 common units representing limited partnership interests in TLLP (the “TLLP Common Units”). No fractional TLLP Common Units will be issued in the Merger, and holders of QEPM Common Units other than QEPFS will instead receive cash in lieu of fractional TLLP Common Units, if any.

TLLP provides us with various pipeline transportation, trucking, terminal distribution, storage and coke-handling services under long-term, fee-based commercial agreements. Each of these agreements, with the exception of the storage and transportation services agreement, contain minimum volume commitments. We do not provide financial or equity support through any liquidity arrangements or financial guarantees to TLLP.

TLLP’s allocation of the Rockies Natural Gas Business acquisition’s $2.5 billion purchase price remains preliminary as of March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the original purchase price was increased by $7 million for adjustments in net working capital primarily for changes related to accounts receivable as well as a change related to goodwill. Finalization of the purchase price allocation is pending and adjustments can be made through the end of TLLP’s measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. The table below reflects the preliminary acquisition date purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2015 (in millions):

Cash	$	31
Accounts receivable	120
Prepayments and other	7
Property, plant and equipment	1,735
Acquired intangibles	976
Other noncurrent assets (a)	239
Accounts payable	(81		)
Other current liabilities	(47		)
Other noncurrent liabilities	(31		)
Noncontrolling interest	(432		)
Total purchase price	$	2,517

____________________

(a) Other noncurrent assets include $159 million of goodwill.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, TLLP incurred transaction and integration costs of $3 million directly attributable to the Rockies Natural Gas Business acquisition. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed statements of consolidated operations.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net earnings attributable to Tesoro Corporation stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the effects of potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Our share calculations are presented below (in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015	2014
Weighted average common shares outstanding	125.2	131.3
Common stock equivalents	1.7	2.5
Total diluted shares	126.9	133.8

Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such securities in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive securities were 0.3 millionand 0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

NOTE 4 – INVENTORIES

Components of inventories were as follows (in millions):

	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
Domestic crude oil and refined products	$	2,219	$	1,930
Foreign subsidiary crude oil	134		351
Other inventories	179		158
Total Inventories	$	2,532	$	2,439

The total carrying value of our crude oil and refined product inventories was less than replacement cost by approximately$318 million at March 31, 2015. Due to the declining crude oil and refined product pricing environment at the end of 2014, we recorded additional expense to cost of sales for a lower of cost or market adjustment of $42 million at December 31, 2014 for our crude oil, refined products, oxygenates and by-product inventories. This adjustment was reversed as the inventories associated with the adjustment at the end of 2014 were sold or used during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

NOTE 5 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment, at cost, is as follows (in millions):

	March 31, 2015			December 31, 2014
Refining	$	7,171		$	6,994
TLLP	3,617			3,551
Retail	835			834
Corporate	256			254
Property, plant and equipment, at cost	11,879			11,633
Accumulated depreciation	(2,699		)	(2,588		)
Net property, plant and equipment	$	9,180		$	9,045

We capitalize interest as part of the cost of major projects during the construction period. Capitalized interest totaled $9 million and $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is recorded as a reduction to net interest and financing costs in our condensed statements of consolidated operations.

NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

In the ordinary course of business, our profit margins, earnings and cash flows are impacted by the timing, direction and overall change in pricing for commodities used throughout our operations. We use non-trading derivative instruments to manage our exposure to the following:

• price risks associated with the purchase or sale of feedstocks, refined products and energy supplies related to our refineries, terminals, retail fuel inventory and customers;

• price risks associated with inventories above or below our target levels;

• future emission credit requirements; and

• exchange rate fluctuations on our purchases of Canadian crude oil.

Our accounting for derivative instruments depends on whether the underlying commodity will be used or sold in the normal course of business. For contracts where the crude oil or refined products are expected to be used or sold in the normal course of business, we apply the normal purchase normal sale exception and follow the accrual method of accounting. All other derivative instruments are recorded at fair value using mark-to-market accounting.

TESORO CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Our derivative instruments include forward purchase and sale contracts (“Forward Contracts”), exchange-traded futures (“Futures Contracts”), over-the-counter swaps (“OTC Swap Contracts”), options (“Options”), and over-the-counter options (“OTC Option Contracts”). Forward Contracts are agreements to buy or sell the commodity at a predetermined price at a specified future date. Futures Contracts are standardized agreements, traded on a futures exchange, to buy or sell the commodity at a predetermined price at a specified future date. Options provide the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the commodity at a specified price in the future. OTC Swap Contracts and OTC Option Contracts require cash settlement for the commodity based on the difference between a contracted fixed or floating price and the market price on the settlement date. Certain of these contracts require cash collateral to be received or paid if our asset or liability position, respectively, exceeds specified thresholds. We believe that we have minimal credit risk with respect to our counterparties.

The following table presents the fair value (in millions) of our derivative instruments as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The fair value amounts below are presented on a gross basis and do not reflect the netting of asset and liability positions permitted under the terms of our master netting arrangements including cash collateral on deposit with, or received from, brokers. We offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements when a legal right of offset exists. As a result, the asset and liability amounts below will not agree with the amounts presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We classify financial assets and liabilities according to the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities classified as level 1 instruments are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices, such as liquidity, that are observable for the asset or liability. These instruments include derivative instruments that are valued using market quotations from independent price reporting agencies, third-party broker quotes and price curves derived from commodity exchange postings that are corroborated with market data. Level 3 instruments are valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We do not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as level 3 at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments. Additionally, our financial liabilities include obligations for Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) and cap and trade emission credits for the state of California (together with RINs, our “Environmental Credit Obligations”). See Note 6 for further information on our derivative instruments. Our Environmental Credit Obligations represent the estimated fair value amount at each balance sheet date for which we do not have sufficient RINs and California cap and trade credits to satisfy our obligations to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the state of California, respectively. RINs are assigned to biofuels produced or imported into the U.S. as required by the EPA, which sets annual quotas for the percentage of biofuels that must be blended into transportation fuels consumed in the U.S. As a producer of petroleum transportation fuels, we are required to blend biofuels into the products we produce at a rate that will meet the EPA’s quota. We must purchase RINs in the open market to satisfy the requirement if we are unable to blend at that rate. Our liability for cap and trade emission credits for the state of California represent the deficit of credits to satisfy emission reduction requirements mandated in California’s Assembly Bill 32 for each period which stationary or transportation fuel carbon emissions exceed the level allowed by the regulation.

(a) Certain of our derivative contracts, under master netting arrangements, include both asset and liability positions. We offset both the fair value amounts and any related cash collateral amounts recognized for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty when there is a legally enforceable right and an intention to settle net or simultaneously. As of March 31, 2015, we had provided cash collateral amounts of $74 million related to our unrealized derivative positions. At December 31, 2014, our counterparties had provided cash collateral of $112 million related to our unrealized derivative positions.

We believe the carrying value of our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including the short-term duration of the instruments (less than one percent of our trade receivables and payables are outstanding for greater than 90 days), and the expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk. The borrowings under the Tesoro Corporation revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), the TLLP senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “TLLP Revolving Credit Facility”) and our term loan credit facility agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”), which include variable interest rates, approximate fair value. The fair value of our fixed rate debt is based on prices from recent trade activity and is categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of our debt were approximately $4.2 billion at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the fair values of our debt were approximately $4.3 billion and $4.2 billion at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. These carrying and fair values of our debt do not include the unamortized issuance costs associated with our total debt.

________________

(d) We can elect the interest rate to apply to the facility between a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable term, plus the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin on the Revolving Credit Facility varies primarily based upon our credit ratings. Letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility incur fees at the Eurodollar margin rate.

(e) TLLP has the option to elect if the borrowings will bear interest at either, a base rate plus the base rate margin or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable period, plus the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin varies based upon a certain leverage ratio, as defined by the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility. TLLP incurs commitment fees for the unused portion of the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility. Letters of credit outstanding under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility incur fees at the Eurodollar margin rate.

Revolving Credit Facilities

Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility. Our Revolving Credit Facility provides for borrowings (including letters of credit) up to the lesser of the amount of a periodically adjusted borrowing base, which consists of Tesoro’s eligible cash and cash equivalents, receivables and petroleum inventories, net of the standard reserve as defined, or the Revolving Credit Facility’s total capacity of $3.0 billion. We had unused credit availability of approximately 89% of the eligible borrowing base at March 31, 2015. Our Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of Tesoro’s active domestic subsidiaries, excluding TLGP, TLLP and its subsidiaries, and certain foreign subsidiaries, and is secured by substantially all of Tesoro’s active domestic subsidiaries’ crude oil and refined product inventories, cash and receivables.

Our Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, senior notes and Term Loan Facility each limit our ability to make certain restricted payments (as defined in our debt agreements), which include dividends, purchases of our stock or voluntary prepayments of subordinate debt. The aggregate amount of restricted payments cannot exceed an amount defined in each of the debt agreements.

The Revolving Credit Facility allows us to obtain letters of credit under separate letter of credit agreements for foreign crude oil purchases. Our uncommitted letter of credit agreements had $56 million outstanding as of March 31, 2015. Letters of credit outstanding under these agreements incur fees ranging from 0.40% to 1.00% and are secured by the crude oil inventories for which they are issued. Capacity under these letter of credit agreements is available on an uncommitted basis and can be terminated by either party at any time.

TLLP Revolving Credit Facility. The TLLP Revolving Credit Facility provided for total loan availability of $900 million as of March 31, 2015, and TLLP may request that the loan availability be increased up to an aggregate of $1.5 billion, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders. The TLLP Revolving Credit Facility is non-recourse to Tesoro, except for TLGP, and is guaranteed by all of TLLP’s subsidiaries, with the exception of certain non-wholly owned subsidiaries acquired in the Rockies Natural Gas Business acquisition, and secured by substantially all of TLLP’s assets. Borrowings are available under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility up to the total loan availability of the facility. There was $235 million in borrowings outstanding under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility, which incurred interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.67% at March 31, 2015. TLLP had unused credit availability of approximately 74% of the eligible borrowing base at March 31, 2015.

Tesoro Debt

Term Loan Facility. We entered into the Term Loan Facility in January 2013, which allowed us to borrow up to an aggregate of $500 million, which we used to fund a portion of the acquisition of BP’s integrated Southern California refining, marketing and logistics business (the “Los Angeles Acquisition”). The Term Loan Facility matures May 30, 2016. The obligations under the Term Loan Facility are secured by all equity interests of Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC and Tesoro Alaska Company LLC, the Tesoro and USA Gasoline trademarks and those trademarks containing the name “ARCO” acquired in the Los Angeles Acquisition, and junior liens on certain assets. The Term Loan Facility may be repaid at any time but amounts may not be re-borrowed. There were no payments on the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The borrowings under our Term Loan Facility incurred interest at a rate of 2.43% as of March 31, 2015 based on the following expense and fee schedule:

Credit Facility	30 day Eurodollar (LIBOR) Rate	Eurodollar Margin	Base Rate	Base Rate Margin	Commitment Fee (unused portion)
Term Loan Facility ($398 million) (a)	0.18%	2.25%	3.25%	1.25%	—%

____________________

(a) We can elect the interest rate to apply to the facility between a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable term, plus the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing.

The Term Loan Facility contains affirmative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default substantially similar to those set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility and contains negative covenants substantially similar to those set forth in most of our current indentures.

NOTE 9 – BENEFIT PLANS

Tesoro sponsors four defined benefit pension plans, including one funded qualified employee retirement plan and three unfunded nonqualified executive plans. Although our funded employee retirement plan fully meets all funding requirements under applicable laws and regulations, we voluntarily contributed $15 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to improve the funded status of the plan. Tesoro also provides other postretirement health care benefits to retirees who met certain service requirements and were participating in our group health insurance program at retirement.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES

Environmental Liabilities

We are incurring and expect to continue to incur expenses for environmental remediation liabilities at a number of currently and previously owned or operated refining, pipeline, terminal and retail station properties. We have accrued liabilities for these expenses and believe these accruals are adequate based on current information and projections that can be reasonably estimated. Additionally, we have recognized environmental remediation liabilities assumed in past acquisitions from the prior owners that include amounts estimated for site cleanup and monitoring activities arising from operations at refineries, certain terminals and pipelines, and retail stations prior to the dates of our acquisitions. Our environmental accruals are based on estimates including engineering assessments, and it is possible that our projections will change and that additional costs will be recorded as more information becomes available.

Our accruals for environmental expenditures totaled$259 millionand $274 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, including $28 millionand $32 million for TLLP, respectively. These accruals include $208 million and $216 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, related to amounts estimated for site cleanup activities arising from operations at our Martinez refinery and operations of assets acquired in the Los Angeles Acquisition prior to their respective acquisition dates. We cannot reasonably determine the full extent of remedial activities that may be required at the Martinez refinery and for assets acquired in the Los Angeles Acquisition, and it is possible that we will identify additional investigation and remediation costs for site cleanup activities as more information becomes available. The environmental remediation liabilities assumed in the Los Angeles Acquisition include amounts estimated for site cleanup activities and monitoring activities arising from operations at the Carson refinery, certain terminals and pipelines, and retail stations prior to our acquisition on June 1, 2013. These estimates for environmental liabilities are based on third-party assessments and available information. Our estimates for site cleanup activities reflect amounts for which we are responsible under applicable cost-sharing arrangements. We also have insurance policies related to certain matters at our Martinez refinery that provide coverage up to $190 million for expenditures in excess of $50 million in self-insurance. We have not recognized possible insurance recoveries and the insurer has challenged coverage and filed a declaratory relief action in federal court.

Other Contingencies

Washington Refinery Fire. The naphtha hydrotreater unit at our Washington refinery was involved in a fire in April 2010, which fatally injured seven employees and rendered the unit inoperable. The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (“L&I”) initiated an investigation of the incident. L&I completed its investigation in October 2010, issued citations and assessed a $2.4 million fine, which we appealed. L&I reassumed jurisdiction of the citation and affirmed the allegations in December 2010. We disagree with L&I’s characterizations of operations at our Washington refinery and believe, based on available evidence and scientific reviews, that many of the agency’s conclusions are mistaken. We filed an appeal of the citation in January 2011. In separate September 2013, November 2013 and February 2015 orders, the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals granted partial summary judgment in our favor and dismissed most of the citations. We have established an accrual for this matter although we cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of its resolution.

On November 20, 2013, we received a notice of violation (“NOV”) from the EPA alleging 46 violations of the Clean Air Act Risk Management Plan requirements at our Washington refinery. The EPA conducted an investigation of the refinery in 2011, following the April 2010 fire in the naphtha hydrotreater unit. We have provided a response to the NOV and additional information to the EPA. While we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of this matter, we believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

In January 2015, we received notice and demand for indemnity from the previous owner of our Washington refinery for damages incurred in the civil litigation brought by the families of those fatally wounded in the April 2010 refinery fire. We settled our involvement in civil litigation in 2012. Arbitration proceedings were initiated in March 2015 after an unsuccessful mediation and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against this claim.

Environmental. The EPA has alleged that we have violated certain Clean Air Act regulations at our Alaska, Washington, Martinez, North Dakota and Utah refineries. We also retained the responsibility for resolving similar allegations relating to our former Hawaii refinery, which we sold in September 2013. We previously received a NOV in March 2011 from the EPA alleging violations of Title V of the Clean Air Act at our Alaska refinery, which arose from a 2007 state of Alaska inspection and inspections by the EPA in 2008 and 2010. We also previously received NOVs in 2005 and 2008 alleging violations of the Clean Air Act at our Washington refinery. We are continuing discussions of all EPA claims with the EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice. We have established an accrual for this matter although we cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of its resolution. The ultimate resolution of these matters could have a material impact on our future interim or annual results of operations, as we may be required to incur material capital expenditures at our operating refineries. However, we do not believe that the final outcome of this matter will have a material impact on our liquidity or financial position.

Other Matters

In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. Large, and sometimes unspecified, damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters. We have not established accruals for these matters unless a loss is probable, and the amount of loss is currently estimable.

Legal. We are a defendant, along with other manufacturing, supply and marketing defendants, in a lawsuit brought by the Orange County Water District, alleging methyl tertiary butyl ether (“MTBE”) contamination in groundwater. This matter, originally filed in 2004, is proceeding in the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York. The defendants are being sued for having manufactured MTBE and having manufactured, supplied and distributed gasoline containing MTBE. The plaintiff alleges, in part, that the defendants are liable for manufacturing or distributing a defective product. The suit generally seeks individual, unquantified compensatory and punitive damages and attorney’s fees. We intend to vigorously assert our defenses against this claim. While we cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of the resolution of this matter, we have established an accrual and believe that the outcome will not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

Environmental. Certain non-governmental organizations filed a Request for Agency Action (the “Request”) with the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (“UDEQ”) concerning our Utah refinery in October 2012. The Request challenges the UDEQ’s permitting of our refinery conversion project alleging that the permits do not conform to the requirements of the Clean Air Act. As the permittee, we are the real party in interest and are defending the permits with UDEQ. In orders issued on July 10 and September 9, 2014, the UDEQ Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) recommended the Executive Director of UDEQ deny Petitioners’ request for a stay of the project and dismiss their challenge to the permit. The Executive Director’s final decision approving the ALJ’s recommended order is currently under appeal. While we cannot estimate the timing or estimated amount, if any, associated with the outcome of this matter, we do not believe it will have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

We have investigated conditions at certain active wastewater treatment units at our Martinez refinery pursuant to an order received in 2004 from the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board that named us as well as two previous owners of the Martinez refinery. We cannot currently estimate the amount of the ultimate resolution of the order, but we believe it will not have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

Tax. We are subject to extensive federal, state and foreign tax laws and regulations. Newly enacted tax laws and regulations, and changes in existing tax laws and regulations, could result in increased expenditures in the future. We are also subject to audits by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities in the normal course of business. It is possible that tax audits could result in claims against us in excess of recorded liabilities. However, we believe that resolution of any such claim(s) would not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations. It is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by as much as $8 million in the next twelve months, related primarily to state apportionment matters. However, since the tax was fully paid in prior years, the unrecognized tax benefit would be eliminated without impacting expense.

NOTE 13 - OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company’s revenues are derived from three operating segments: refining, TLLP and retail. We own and operate six petroleum refineries located in California, Washington, Alaska, North Dakota and Utah that manufacture gasoline and gasoline blendstocks, jet fuel, diesel fuel, residual fuel oil and other refined products. We sell these refined products, together with refined products purchased from third parties, at wholesale through terminal facilities and other locations and opportunistically export refined products to foreign markets. TLLP’s assets and operations include certain crude oil gathering assets, natural gas gathering and processing assets and crude oil and refined products terminalling and transportation assets acquired from Tesoro and other third parties. Revenues from the TLLP segment are generated by charging fees for gathering crude oil and natural gas, for processing natural gas, and for terminalling, transporting and storing crude oil, and refined products. During 2014, we converted our company-operated retail locations to multi-site operators (“MSOs”) and retained the transportation fuel sales. Our retail segment sells gasoline and diesel fuel through MSOs and branded jobber/dealers in 16 states. Since we do not have significant operations in foreign countries, revenue generated and long-lived assets located in foreign countries are not material to our operations.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on segment operating income. Segment operating income includes those revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to management of the respective segment. Intersegment sales from refining to retail are made at prices which approximate market. TLLP revenues include intersegment transactions with our refining segment at prices which we believe are no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. Income taxes, other income, net, interest and financing costs, net, corporate depreciation and corporate general and administrative expenses are excluded from segment operating income.

(a) Federal and state motor fuel taxes on sales by our retail segment are included in both revenues and cost of sales in our condensed statements of consolidated operations. These taxes totaled $140 million and $141 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(b) Includes merchandise revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

(c) Our refining segment uses RINs to satisfy its obligations under the Renewable Fuels Standard, in addition to physically blending required biofuels. Effective April 1, 2013, we changed our intersegment pricing methodology and no longer reduced the amount retail pays for the biofuels by the market value of the RINs due to significant volatility in the value of RINs. At the end of 2014, given the price of RINs has become more transparent in the price of biofuels, we determined our intersegment pricing methodology should include the market value of RINs as a reduction to the price our retail segment pays to our refining segment. We made this change effective January 1, 2015. We have not adjusted financial information presented for our refining and retail segments for the period ended March 31, 2014. Had we made this change effective January 1, 2014, operating income in our refining segment would have been reduced by $28 million with a corresponding increase to operating income in our retail segment.

(d) We present TLLP’s segment operating income net of general and administrative expenses totaling $12 million and $4 million representing TLLP’s corporate costs for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, that are not allocated to TLLP’s operating segments.

(e) Includes stock-based compensation expense of $28 million and benefit of $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The significant impact to stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the prior period is primarily a result of changes in Tesoro’s stock price.

(f) Includes charges totaling $31 million for premiums and unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the redemption of the 5.50% Senior Notes due 2019 during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

NOTE 14 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Separate condensed consolidating financial information of Tesoro Corporation (the “Parent”), subsidiary guarantors and non-guarantors is presented below. At March 31, 2015, Tesoro and certain subsidiary guarantors have fully and unconditionally guaranteed our 4.250% Senior Notes due 2017, 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022, and 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024. TLLP, in which we had a 36% ownership interest as of March 31, 2015, and other subsidiaries have not guaranteed these obligations. As a result of these guarantee arrangements, we are required to present the following condensed consolidating financial information, which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. This information is provided as an alternative to providing separate financial statements for guarantor subsidiaries. Separate financial statements of Tesoro’s subsidiary guarantors are not included because the guarantees are full and unconditional and these subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned and are jointly and severally liable for Tesoro’s outstanding senior notes. The information is presented using the equity method of accounting for investments in subsidiaries. Certain intercompany and intracompany transactions between subsidiaries are presented gross and eliminated in the eliminations column. Additionally, the results of operations of the Hawaii Business have been reported as discontinued operations in these condensed consolidating statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Those statements in this section that are not historical in nature should be deemed forward-looking statements that are inherently uncertain. See “Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 53 for a discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements. This section should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OVERVIEW

Strategy and Goals

Our vision is to create a safer and cleaner future as efficient providers of reliable transportation fuel solutions. To achieve these goals we are pursuing the following strategic priorities:

• improve operational efficiency and effectiveness by focusing on safety and reliability, system improvements and cost leadership;

• drive commercial excellence by strengthening our supply, trading and optimization activities to provide additional value to the business;

• maintain our financial position by exercising capital discipline and focusing on a balanced use of free cash flow;

• capture value-driven growth through a focus on our logistics assets, growing our marketing business and other strategic opportunities accretive to shareholder value; and

• maintain a high performing culture by building leadership at all levels of the organization with employees from diverse backgrounds and experiences who are accountable for delivering on our commitments.

Our goals were focused on these strategic priorities and we accomplished the following in 2015:

	Operational Efficiency & Effectiveness	Commercial Excellence	Financial Discipline	Value Driven Growth	High Performing Culture
Operated our Los Angeles and Anacortes refineries safely during a work stoppage in February and March 2015.	•	•			•
Safely shut down our Martinez refinery and operated as a terminal during the work stoppage. We began a safe restart of the Martinez refinery in late March 2015.	•				•
TLLP entered into a merger agreement with QEPM which continues the integration of the Rockies Natural Gas Business assets within the midstream and downstream value chain.				•
Continued work on the second phase of the Salt Lake City refinery expansion and Waxy Crude Oil Project. We expect the project to be completed in the second quarter of 2015.		•		•	•

Synergy and Business Improvement Objectives

In December 2014, we laid out our plans to deliver an additional $550 to $670 million of annual improvements during 2015. These improvements are in addition to what was delivered in 2014 and include $95 to $125 million from delivering West Coast improvements, $130 to $170 million from capturing margin improvements, and $325 to $375 million by growing our logistics operations.

28

Market Outlook

Based on current market conditions and the Companies expectations for the remainder of 2015, consolidated EBITDA (as defined on page 31) is projected to be $2.6 billion. This forecast is based on actual first quarter results and forecasted full year estimates. The forecast includes declining margin conditions during the second quarter and a margin environment based on Tesoro’s long-term forecast. The long-term forecast is based on normalized crude differentials and refining margins, which are similar to historical averages during the second half of 2015. This forecast also includes the earnings that are expected from the 2015 Synergy and Business Improvement Objectives.

The market in the second half of the first quarter and to date in the second quarter has seen above average refining margins as a result of several unplanned refinery outages on the West Coast. The unplanned refinery maintenance and work stoppages along with strong clean product demand have supported the strong margin environment. The Company estimates these above average margins will decline over time as our Martinez refinery is running post the work stoppage and other refineries are expected to come back online after maintenance activities.

There are many negative and positive factors for which our estimates could change, which could significantly impact the projected $2.6 billion of EBITDA.

Current Market Conditions

Over the second half of 2014, the price of a barrel of oil dropped by more than 50%. This type of price decline can have a pronounced impact on producers and several have announced capital program reductions. However, the corresponding fall in gasoline prices did bolster demand in domestic markets. Crack spreads on the West Coast remain positive and the transition into driving season could cause demand to continue to increase.

Collective bargaining agreements for hourly represented employees at several of our plants expired on January 31, 2015. Even though we were in the midst of good faith negotiations, we, along with several other U.S. refiners, received strike notifications on February 1, 2015. These notifications included our Anacortes and Martinez refineries and the Carson portion of our Los Angeles refinery. We had a contingency plan that prepared us to safely operate our facilities during this work stoppage and we safely transitioned to this plan at our Anacortes refinery and the Carson portion of our Los Angeles refinery. Since our Martinez refinery was undergoing extensive planned maintenance when the strike was called, we idled the remaining units and converted the refinery to terminal operations as we believed it was the safest option. As a result, compared to first quarter of 2014, the California region throughput was lower by approximately 100 Mbpd resulting in increased operating costs of more than $1 per barrel. New collective bargaining agreements were negotiated and agreed to during March 2015. The Martinez refinery was restarted during late March 2015.

Following negotiations, a tentative collective bargaining agreement has been reached regarding our hourly represented employees at the Wilmington portion of our Los Angeles refinery, which had an off-pattern contract that expired on April 30, 2015. The tentative agreement has been presented for a ratification vote by the membership scheduled for early May 2015.

The rapid decline in crude oil prices and the work stoppage have provided operational challenges. However, to-date we have not experienced any adverse material effects on our abilities to meet our goals and objectives outlined above.

Tesoro Logistics LP (“TLLP”)

TLLP was formed to own, operate, develop and acquire logistics assets to gather crude oil and distribute, transport and store crude oil and refined products. Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (“TLGP”), a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary, serves as the general partner of TLLP. We held an approximate 36% interest in TLLP at March 31, 2015, including a general partner interest and all of the incentive distribution rights. In the first quarter of 2015, 56% of TLLP’s revenue was derived from us primarily under various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements that generally include minimum volume commitments.

TLLP’s strategy remains to grow earnings through four ways that have remained constant since its 2011 initial public offering:

• Focusing on stable, fee-based business;

• Optimizing our existing asset base;

• Pursuing organic expansion opportunities; and

• Continued growth through strategic acquisitions.

29

By achieving this growth and through our ownership of TLLP’s general partner, we expect the logistics operations to maximize the integrated value of assets within the midstream and downstream value chain. This includes creating shareholder value through the lower cost of capital available to TLLP as a limited partnership and receipt of TLLP’s quarterly distributions. As the distributions per unit increase, our proportion of the total distribution will grow at an accelerated rate due to our incentive distribution rights. We believe TLLP is well positioned to achieve its primary business objectives and execute business strategies based on its long-term fee-based contracts, relationship with us, assets positioned in the high demand Williston Basin, and financial flexibility.

Relative to these goals, in 2015, TLLP intends to continue to implement this strategy and have completed or announced plans to:

• expand TLLP’s assets on its gathering and transportation system, located in the Bakken Region (the “High Plains System”) in support of growing third-party demand for transportation services and Tesoro’s increased demand for Bakken crude oil in the Mid-Continent and west coast refining systems, including:

◦ expanding utilization of TLLP’s proprietary truck fleet, which should generate cost and operating efficiencies;

◦ further expanding capacity on the recently reversed segment of TLLP’s common carrier pipeline in North Dakota and Montana (the “High Plains Pipeline”); and

◦ adding other origin and destination points on the High Plains System to increase volumes.

• increase TLLP’s terminalling volumes by expanding capacity and growing its third-party services at certain of its terminals;

• optimize Tesoro volumes and grow third-party volumes using TLLP’s logistics assets on the west coast; and

• expand and optimize TLLP’s acquired assets related to, and entities engaged in, natural gas gathering, transportation and processing in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and North Dakota (the “Rockies Natural Gas Business”).

Total market value of TLLP units held by Tesoro was $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. At March 31, 2015, Tesoro held 28,181,748 common units at a market value of $53.80 per unit based on the closing unit price as of that date. At December 31, 2014, Tesoro held 28,181,748 common units at a market value of $58.85 per unit based on the closing unit price as of that date. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, cash distributions received from TLLP, including incentive distribution rights, is as follows (in millions):

Vancouver Energy

Consistent with our strategic priorities to drive commercial excellence and capture value-driven growth, we entered into an equally-owned joint venture in 2013 with Savage Companies to construct, own and operate a unit train unloading and marine loading terminal at Port of Vancouver, USA (the “Vancouver Energy” terminal) with a total capacity of 360 thousand barrels per day (“Mbpd”) allowing for the delivery of cost-advantaged North American crude oil to the U.S. West Coast. Our contribution to the project is expected to be between $95 million and $105 million. These cost estimates include the entire project scope and requirements necessary to comply with American Society of Civil Engineering and International Building Codes for seismic risks in the area. Our contributions, totaling $2 million during 2015, are considered investments in joint ventures and are presented in net cash used in investing activities in our condensed statements of consolidated cash flows.

The project is progressing through the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (“EFSEC”) permitting process in the state of Washington. EFSEC has begun the adjudicative phase and based on the schedule it laid out is expected to release the Draft Environmental Impact Statement in the summer of 2015. We expect EFSEC will submit its recommendation to the governor of Washington once it completes the adjudicative phase. The joint venture expects to begin construction of the facilities upon the governor’s approval of the project and issuance of permits. Project construction is estimated to take nine to twelve months, however initial operations are expected to begin within a few months of construction start.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to our results of operations is presented below. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, together with the following information, are intended to provide investors with a reasonable basis for assessing our historical operations, but should not serve as the only criteria for predicting our future performance.

Non-GAAP Measures

Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze operating segment performance. To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), our management uses additional metrics that are known as “non-GAAP” financial metrics in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses (“EBITDA”). We define EBITDA as consolidated earnings, including earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, excluding net earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, before depreciation and amortization expense, net interest and financing costs, income taxes and interest income. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus or minus amounts determined to be “special items” by our management based on their unusual nature and relative significance to earnings (loss) in a certain period. We provide complete reconciliation and discussion of items identified as special items with our presentation of adjusted EBITDA.

We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we believe some investors and analysts use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to help analyze our cash flows including our ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations with respect to our indebtedness and use cash for other purposes, including capital expenditures. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are also used by some investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance and by management for internal analysis. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to U.S. GAAP net earnings or net cash from operating activities. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and net cash from operating activities.

Items Impacting Comparability

The TLLP financial and operational data presented include the historical results of all assets acquired from Tesoro prior to the acquisition dates. The acquisitions from Tesoro were transfers between entities under common control. Accordingly, the financial information of TLLP contained herein has been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of the assets acquired in the acquisitions from Tesoro prior to the effective date of each acquisition for all periods presented. The TLLP financial data is derived from the combined financial results of the TLLP predecessor (the “TLLP Predecessor”). We refer to the TLLP Predecessor and, prior to each acquisition date, the acquisitions from Tesoro collectively, as “TLLP’s Predecessors”.

TLLP acquired assets related to the Rockies Natural Gas Business through its acquisition of QEP Field Services, LLC (“QEPFS”) from QEP Resources, Inc. on December 2, 2014. QEPFS holds an approximate 56% limited partner interest in QEP Midstream Partners, LP (“QEPM”) and 100% of QEPM’s general partner, QEP Midstream Partners GP, LLC, which itself holds a 2% general partner interest and all of the incentive distribution rights in QEPM. All intercompany transactions with TLLP and QEPM are eliminated upon consolidation.

On September 25, 2013, we completed the sale of all of our interest in Tesoro Hawaii, LLC, which operated a 94 Mbpd Hawaii refinery, retail stations and associated logistics assets (the “Hawaii Business”). We have reflected its results of operations as discontinued operations in our condensed statements of consolidated operations for all periods presented, and, unless otherwise noted, we have excluded the Hawaii Business from the financial and operational data presented in the tables and discussion that follow.

Consolidated Results

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 versus March 31, 2014

Overview. Our net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Tesoro Corporation were $145 million ($1.15 per diluted share) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 (“2015 Quarter”) compared to $79 million ($0.59 per diluted share) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (“2014 Quarter”).

Gross Margins. Our gross refining margin decreased $16 million during the 2015 Quarter compared to the 2014 Quarter driven bylower crude oil differentials and lower gasoline and diesel margins in the Mid-Continent region partially offset by increases in the California region due to the stronger industry gasoline and diesel margins as a result of several unplanned refinery outages, which included our idled Martinez facilityresulting in an overall increase of $0.97 in our gross refining margin per barrel. Our gross retail margin increased $95 million primarily due to higher fuel margins. Operating income for TLLP increased $48 million due to higher throughput volumes driven by acquired assets and continued expansion of its crude oil gathering assets.

Other Costs and Expenses. Operating expenses decreased$82 million to $509 million in the 2015 Quarter compared to the 2014 Quarter primarily due to lower refinery throughput as a result of our Martinez refinery being idled during the work stoppage, the work stoppage at our Anacortes refinery and a portion of our Los Angeles refinery, declining natural gas costs and the conversion of company-operated retail sites to multi-site operators (“MSO”) that reduced costs associated with the management of station operations. Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $91 million in the 2015 Quarter compared to $31 million in the 2014 Quarter primarily attributable to changes in stock-based compensation expense during the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter, principally related to our stock appreciation rights that are adjusted based on the market price of the stock each period. The stock-based compensation impact on the 2015 Quarter results include an expense of $28 million due to an increase in the stock price per share during the Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter results, which included a benefit of $18 million due to the decrease in the stock price per share during that Quarter.

Income Taxes. Our income tax expense totaled $96 million in the 2015 Quarter versus $56 million in the 2014 Quarter. The combined federal and state effective income tax rate was 33.8% and 35.0% during the 2015 Quarter and the 2014 Quarter, respectively. The 2015 rate benefited from an increased share of income from non-taxable noncontrolling interests attributable to TLLP.

Refining Segment

We currently own and operate six petroleum refineries located in the western United States and sell transportation fuels to a wide variety of customers. Our refineries produce the majority of the transportation fuels that we sell. Our six refineries have a combined crude oil capacity of 850 Mbpd. We purchase crude oil and other feedstocks from domestic and foreign sources, including the Middle East, South America, western Africa, Canada, and other locations either through term agreements with renewal provisions or in the spot market. Our retail network provides a committed outlet for the majority of the gasoline produced by our refineries; however, we also sell gasoline and gasoline blendstocks, jet fuel, diesel fuel, heavy fuel oils and residual products in both the bulk and wholesale markets in the western United States. We also opportunistically export refined products to certain foreign markets.

Market Overview. Our profitability is heavily influenced by the cost of crude oil and aggregate value of products we make from that crude oil and is affected by changes in economic conditions and supply and demand balance. Product values and crude oil prices are set by the market and are outside of our control.

The first quarter of 2015 was impacted by work stoppages at the Anacortes, Washington and Los Angeles and Martinez, California refineries. Also during the first quarter, planned maintenance was performed at our Martinez, Anacortes and Salt Lake City refineries. Our California region was the most impacted by the work stoppage. The Martinez refinery was idled during February and March and production was impacted at the Los Angeles refinery. As a result, compared to first quarter of 2014, California region throughput was lower by approximately 100 Mbpd resulting in increased operating costs of more than $1 per barrel.

Crude Oil. Our Mid-Continent and Pacific Northwest refineries have benefited from processing inland U.S. and Canada crude oil priced on the basis of West Texas Intermediate crude oil (“WTI”) resulting in discounts compared to benchmark Brent crude oil (“Brent”) processed at our coastal refineries. The WTI discount to Brent averaged approximately$5per barrel during the first quarter of 2015, compared to approximately $9 per barrel during the first quarter of 2014.

We supply our North Dakota refinery exclusively with Bakken crude oil, our Washington refinery primarily with Bakken and Canadian Light Sweet crude oil and our Utah refinery with light sweet crude oil from Wyoming and Colorado as well as Uinta Basin waxy crude oil. In the first quarter of 2015, the average discount of Bakken crude oil to WTI decreased to approximately $3 per barrel, compared to an average discount of more than $4 per barrel in the first quarter of 2014. The average discount of Canadian Light Sweet crude oil to WTI decreased to approximately$4 per barrel in the first quarter of 2015, compared to approximately $7 per barrel during the first quarter of 2014. Our California refineries run a significant amount of South American heavy (“Oriente”), San Joaquin Valley Heavy (“SJVH”) crude oil and light crude oil from Iraq (“Basrah”), which have historically priced at a discount to Brent.

35

Refined Product. The following charts illustrate average benchmark refined product differentials relevant to our markets and comparison to pricing for WTI or Alaska North Slope (“ANS”) crude oil.

Average Mid-Continent benchmark gasoline margins were up approximately 14% and diesel fuel margins were down approximately 13%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014. Average U.S. West Coast benchmark gasoline margins and diesel fuel margins were up approximately 107% and 25%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2015, as compared to first quarter of 2014.

36

Operational Data and Results. Management uses various measures to evaluate performance and efficiency and to compare profitability to other companies in the industry. These measures include:

• Gross refining margin per barrel is calculated by dividing gross refining margin (revenues less costs of feedstocks, purchased refined products, transportation and distribution) by total refining throughput;

• Manufacturing costs before depreciation and amortization expense (“Manufacturing Costs”) per barrel is calculated by dividing Manufacturing Costs by total refining throughput;

• We calculate refined product sales margin per barrel by dividing refined product sales margin by total refined product sales (in barrels); and

• Refined product sales margin represents refined product sales less refined product cost of sales.

Investors and analysts use these financial measures to help analyze and compare companies in the industry on the basis of operating performance. These financial measures should not be considered alternatives to segment operating income, revenues, costs of sales and operating expenses or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

________________

(a) Refined product sales include intersegment sales to our retail segment at prices which approximate market of $2.0 billion and $2.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(b) Consolidated gross refining margin combines gross refining margin for each of our regions adjusted for other amounts not directly attributable to a specific region. Other amounts resulted in a decrease of $1 million and an increase of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Gross refining margin includes the effect of intersegment sales to the retail segment at prices which approximate market and fees charged by TLLP for the transportation and terminalling of crude oil and refined products at prices which we believe are no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. Gross refining margin approximates total refining throughput multiplied by the gross refining margin per barrel.

(c) Our refining segment uses RINs to satisfy its obligations under the Renewable Fuels Standard, in addition to physically blending required biofuels. Effective April 1, 2013, we changed our intersegment pricing methodology and no longer reduced the amount retail pays for the biofuels by the market value of the RINs due to significant volatility in the value of RINs. At the end of 2014, given the price of RINs has become more transparent in the price of biofuels, we determined our intersegment pricing methodology should include the market value of RINs as a reduction to the price our retail segment pays to our refining segment. We made this change effective January 1, 2015. We have not adjusted financial information presented for our refining and retail segments for the period ended March 31, 2014. Had we made this change effective January 1, 2014, operating income in our refining segment would have been reduced by $28 million with a corresponding increase to operating income in our retail segment.

(d) The gross refining margin per throughput barrel excludes the impact of the $42 million benefit recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2015 from a lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014 in the computation of the rate at a consolidated or regional level.

(e) Sources of total refined product sales include refined products manufactured at our refineries and refined products purchased from third parties. Total refined product sales margins include margins on sales of manufactured and purchased refined products.

Three Months EndedMarch 31, 2015 Compared with Three Months EndedMarch 31, 2014

Overview. Operating income for our refining segment increased $5 million, or 3%, to $190 million during the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter due to a stronger margin environment. However, our capture of the stronger margins was significantly limited by the combination of higher system throughput during January when margins were low, the work stoppage impact in February and March and inventory builds associated with the turnarounds.

Refining Throughput. Total refining throughput decreased 121 Mbpd, or 15%, to 696 Mbpd during the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter was impacted by the work stoppage across three of the Company’s facilities and two large planned turnarounds. Our California region was most significantly impacted with our Martinez, California refinery being idled and work stoppage affecting a portion of our Los Angeles refinery.

Refined Product Sales. Revenues from sales of refined products decreased $3.7 billion to $5.8 billion in the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter, primarily due to a decrease in average product sales price of $40.74 per barrel, or 35%, to $74.13 per barrel in the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter driven by lower crude oil prices. The decrease in revenues was coupled with decreased refined product sales volumes of 29 Mbpd, or 3%, to 899 Mbpd in the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter. During the 2015 Quarter, purchases of refined products from third parties increased compared to the 2014 Quarter to enable the Company to meet its supply obligations as a result of lower refinery throughput from our Martinez refinery being idled during the work stoppage.

Costs of Sales and Expenses. Our average costs of sales decreased $40.23 per barrel, or 38%, to $65.11 per barrel during the 2015 Quarter compared to the 2014 Quarter, reflecting decreases in crude oil prices. Manufacturing and other operating expenses decreased $44 million to $464 million in the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter primarily as a result of lower refinery throughput from our Martinez refinery being idled during the work stoppage, the work stoppage at our Anacortes refinery and a portion of our Los Angeles refinery and declining natural gas costs.

Gross Refining Margins. Our gross refining margin per barrel increased $0.97 per barrel, or 9%, to $11.77 per barrel in the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter given a stronger margin environment across the California and Pacific Northwest regions, which was offset by the impact of the work stoppages and three refinery turnarounds during the quarter.

39

Total gross margin decreased $16 million, or 2%, to $779 million in the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter. Gross margins in the California and Pacific Northwest regions increased $39 million and $36 million, respectively, and decreased $88 million in the Mid-Continent region. Gross refining margin increases in the California region were due to the stronger industry gasoline and diesel margins as a result of several unplanned refinery outages, which included our idled Martinez facility. Margins decreased in the Mid-Continent region due to lower crude oil differentials and lower gasoline and diesel margins. The increase in the Pacific Northwest region was driven by stronger industry gasoline and diesel margins in the Pacific Northwest partially offset by marginally lower discounts on advantaged Bakken and Canadian crude oil.

TLLP Segment

TLLP is a publicly traded limited partnership that was formed to own, operate, develop and acquire logistics assets. Its assets are integral to the success of Tesoro’s refining and marketing operations and generate revenue by charging fees for gathering crude oil and natural gas, for terminalling, transporting and storing crude oil and refined products and for processing and fractionating natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGL”). On December 2, 2014, TLLP completed the Rockies Natural Gas Business acquisition transforming TLLP into a full-service logistics company with assets allowing geographic and revenue diversification in support of our strategic initiatives.

Operational Data and Results. Management uses average revenue per barrel and average revenue per MMBtu to evaluate performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry. We calculate average revenue per barrel as revenue divided by total throughput or keep-whole processing volumes. We calculate average revenue per MMBtu as revenue divided by gas gathering and fee-based processing volume. Investors and analysts use these financial measures to help analyze and compare companies in the industry on the basis of operating performance. These financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to segment operating income, revenues and operating expenses or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

TLLP segment third-party operating expenses related to the transportation of crude oil and refined products are reclassified to cost of sales in our condensed statements of consolidated operations upon consolidation.

(e) TLLP segment general and administrative expenses include amounts charged by Tesoro for general and administrative services provided to TLLP under various operational and administrative contracts. These amounts totaled $17 million and $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These amounts are eliminated upon consolidation.

Three Months EndedMarch 31, 2015 Compared with Three Months EndedMarch 31, 2014

Overview. Operating income for TLLP increased $48 million to $108 million due to the higher revenues, offset by an increase in operating expenses of $41 million to $86 million in the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter. The Rockies Natural Gas Business contributed $38 million toward the increase in TLLP’s operating income during the 2015 Quarter.

Revenues and Throughput. Pipeline gathering throughput volume increased as a result of the expansion of our High Plains System and the assets acquired in the Rockies Natural Gas Business acquisition. This increase in volumes for crude oil gathering pipeline throughput includes a 51 Mbpd increase in third-party volumes. These higher throughput volumes resulted in an increase to revenues of $136 million to $263 million during the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter. Terminalling and transportation pipeline throughput volumes increased during the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter driven by certain terminalling and pipeline assets acquired from Tesoro, which were partially offset by lower volumes at the Martinez, California marine terminal.

Operating and Other Expenses. Operating expenses increased $41 million during the 2015 Quarter primarily related to the operations acquired in the Rockies Natural Gas Business acquisition and assets acquired from Tesoro during 2014. General and administrative expenses increased by $15 million due to higher allocations of overhead costs associated with increased costs to support the growth of the business.

Retail Segment

We sell gasoline and diesel fuel in the western United States through retail stations and agreements with third-party branded dealers and distributors (or “Jobber/dealers”). Our retail network provides a committed outlet for the majority of the gasoline produced by our refineries. During the fourth quarter 2014, we converted our company-operated retail locations to MSOs and retained the transportation fuel sales. Under these MSO arrangements, we no longer operate the convenience stores, own the related merchandise inventory or employ the store employees as the MSO operates the stations. Our retail operating segment (“Retail”) included a network of 2,258 retail stations under the ARCO^®, Shell^®,Exxon^®, Mobil^®, USA Gasoline^TM and Tesoro^® brands as of March 31, 2015.

Operational Data and Results. Management uses fuel margin per gallon to compare fuel results to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate fuel margin per gallon; different companies may calculate it in different ways. We calculate fuel margin per gallon by dividing fuel gross margin by fuel sales volumes. Investors and analysts may use fuel margin per gallon to help analyze and compare companies in the industry on the basis of operating performance. This financial measure should not be considered an alternative to revenues, segment operating income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Fuel margin and fuel margin per gallon include the effect of intersegment purchases from the refining segment at prices which approximate market.

Our Retail segment operating data and results are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015		2014

________________

(a) In December 2014, we converted our company-operated retail stations to MSO retail stations. The impact of this change was not material to our retail segment results.

(b) Includes merchandise revenue or gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

42

(c) Our refining segment uses RINs to satisfy its obligations under the Renewable Fuels Standard, in addition to physically blending required biofuels. Effective April 1, 2013, we changed our intersegment pricing methodology and no longer reduced the amount retail pays for the biofuels by the market value of the RINs due to significant volatility in the value of RINs. At the end of 2014, given the price of RINs has become more transparent in the price of biofuels, we determined our intersegment pricing methodology should include the market value of RINs as a reduction to the price our retail segment pays to our refining segment. We made this change effective January 1, 2015. We have not adjusted financial information presented for our refining and retail segments for the period ended March 31, 2014. Had we made this change effective January 1, 2014, operating income in our refining segment would have been reduced by $28 million with a corresponding increase to operating income in our retail segment.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

Overview. Operating income increased $107 million to $126 million during the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter primarily as a result of our increased gross fuel margin.

Gross Margin. Gross margin increased $95 million, or 84%, to $208 million during the 2015 Quarter as compared to the 2014 Quarter primarily due to the higher fuel margin per gallon. We experienced higher fuel margin driven by our ability to capture favorable market conditions where declining street prices were outpaced by spot market prices at the rack. Fuel sales volumes were relatively flat at 1.0 billion gallons during both the 2015 Quarter and 2014 Quarter.

Operating and Other Expenses. The decrease of $13 million in operating expenses was primarily driven by our conversion to MSOs at retail stations that reduced costs associated with the management of the station operations.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Overview

We operate in an environment where our capital resources and liquidity are impacted by changes in the price of crude oil and refined products, availability of trade credit, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. These factors include the level of consumer demand for transportation fuels, weather conditions, fluctuations in seasonal demand, governmental regulations, geo-political conditions and overall market and global economic conditions. See “Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 53 for further information related to risks and other factors. Future capital expenditures, as well as borrowings under our credit agreements and other sources of capital, may be affected by these conditions.

43

Capitalization

Our capital structure at March 31, 2015 was comprised of the following (in millions):

	March 31, 2015
Debt, including current maturities:	Principal		Unamortized Issuance Costs
Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility	$	—	$	26
Term Loan Credit Facility	398		1

5.875% TLLP Senior Notes due 2020	470		3
6.125% TLLP Senior Notes due 2021	550		8
6.250% TLLP Senior Notes due 2022	800		11
TLLP Capital lease obligations and other	8		—
TLLP Debt and Unamortized Issuance Costs	2,563		43
Total Debt and Unamortized Issuance Costs	$	4,229	85
Debt, Net of Unamortized Issuance Costs			4,144
Total Equity			7,078
Total Capitalization			$	11,222

Our net debt to capitalization ratio was 37% at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Our net debt to capitalization ratio, excluding TLLP, was 26% and 27% at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, which excludes TLLP total net debt and capital leases of $2.5 billion for both periods. The net debt to capitalization ratio also excludes noncontrolling interest of $2.5 billion at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. TLLP’s debt is non-recourse to Tesoro, except for TLGP.

The Tesoro Corporation revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), senior notes and term loan credit facility agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”) each limit our ability to make certain restricted payments (as defined in our debt agreements), which include dividends, purchases of our stock or voluntary prepayments of subordinate debt. The aggregate amount of restricted payments cannot exceed an amount defined in each of the debt agreements. The indentures for our senior notes also limit certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to make certain payments and distributions. We do not believe that these limitations will restrict our ability to pay dividends or buy back stock under our current programs.

44

Credit Facilities Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations with additional sources available under borrowing capacity from our revolving lines of credit. We ended the first quarter of 2015 with $459 million of cash and cash equivalents and borrowings of $398 million under the Term Loan Credit Facility and $235 million under the TLLP senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “TLLP Revolving Credit Facility”). We believe available capital resources will be adequate to meet our capital expenditure, working capital and debt service requirements. We had available capacity under our credit facilities as follows at March 31, 2015 (in millions):

	Total Capacity		Amount Borrowed as of March 31, 2015		Outstanding Letters of Credit		Available Capacity		Expiration
Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility (a)	$	2,156	$	—	$	237	$	1,919	November 18, 2019
TLLP Revolving Credit Facility	900		235		—		665		December 2, 2019
Letter of Credit Facilities	2,035		—		56		1,979
Total credit facilities	$	5,091	$	235	$	293	$	4,563

________________

(a) Borrowing base is the lesser of the amount of the periodically adjusted borrowing base or the agreement’s total capacity of $3.0 billion.

As of March 31, 2015, our credit facilities were subject to the following expenses and fees:

Credit Facility	30 day Eurodollar (LIBOR) Rate	Eurodollar Margin	Base Rate	Base Rate Margin	Commitment Fee (unused portion)
Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility    ($2.2 billion) (b)	0.18%	1.50%	3.25%	0.50%	0.375%
TLLP Revolving Credit Facility ($900 million) (c)	0.18%	2.50%	3.25%	1.50%	0.50%

________________

(b) We can elect the interest rate to apply to the facility between a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable term, plus the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin on the Revolving Credit Facility varies primarily based upon our credit ratings. Letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility incur fees at the Eurodollar margin rate.

(c) TLLP has the option to elect if the borrowings will bear interest at either, a base rate plus the base rate margin or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable period, plus the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin varies based upon a certain leverage ratio, as defined by the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility. TLLP incurs commitment fees for the unused portion of the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility. Letters of credit outstanding under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility incur fees at the Eurodollar margin rate.

Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility

On November 18, 2014, we entered into Omnibus Amendment No. 1 (the “Omnibus Amendment”) to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Existing Credit Agreement”; and as amended in accordance with the Omnibus Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) dated as of January 4, 2013 and the related guaranties. The Omnibus Amendment provided for:

• an extension of the revolving facility maturity date to November 18, 2019;

• total available revolving capacity of $3.0 billion, or lower based on the periodically adjusted borrowing base, and the removal of previously included required revolving loan commitment decreases;

• a reduction in the minimum consolidated tangible net worth requirement beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014;

• revisions to the covenants to provide additional flexibility for making restricted payments, dispositions and entering into certain investments; and

• a backstop guarantee by Tesoro of certain swap obligations.

The Amended Credit Agreement retains affirmative, negative and financial covenants that, other than as described above, continue to limit or restrict the Company and its subsidiaries and is guaranteed and secured to the same extent as the Existing Credit Agreement.

45

Overview. OurRevolving Credit Facility provides for borrowings (including letters of credit) up to the lesser of the amount of a periodically adjusted borrowing base, which consists of Tesoro’s eligible cash and cash equivalents, receivables and petroleum inventories, net of the standard reserve as defined, or the Revolving Credit Facility’s total capacity of $3.0 billion. We had unused credit availability of approximately 89% of the eligible borrowing base at March 31, 2015. Our Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of Tesoro’s active domestic subsidiaries, excluding TLGP, TLLP and its subsidiaries, and certain foreign subsidiaries, and is secured by substantially all of Tesoro’s active domestic subsidiaries’ crude oil and refined product inventories, cash and receivables.

Covenants. Our Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, senior notes and Term Loan Facility each limit our ability to make certain restricted payments (as defined in our debt agreements), which include dividends, purchases of our stock or voluntary prepayments of subordinate debt. The aggregate amount of restricted payments cannot exceed an amount defined in each of the debt agreements. The indentures for our senior notes also limit certain of our subsidiaries ability to make certain payments and distributions. These existing covenants and restrictions may limit, among other things, our ability to:

• pay dividends and make other distributions with respect to our capital stock and purchase, redeem or retire our capital stock;

• incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock;

• make voluntary prepayments of subordinate debt;

• sell assets unless the proceeds from those sales are used to repay debt or are reinvested in our business;

• incur liens on assets to secure certain debt;

• engage in certain business activities;

• make certain payments and distributions from our subsidiaries;

• engage in certain mergers or consolidations and transfers of assets; and

• enter into certain transactions with affiliates.

We do not believe that the limitations will restrict our ability to pay dividends or repurchase stock under our current programs. We have a default covenant that requires us to maintain specified levels of tangible net worth. There were no changes to the Revolving Credit Facility covenants during the three months ended March 31, 2015. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The Revolving Credit Facility allows us to obtain letters of credit under separate letter of credit agreements for foreign crude oil purchases. Our uncommitted letter of credit agreements had $56 million outstanding as of March 31, 2015. Letters of credit outstanding under these agreements incur fees ranging from 0.40% to 1.00% and are secured by the crude oil inventories for which they are issued. Capacity under these letter of credit agreements is available on an uncommitted basis and can be terminated by either party at any time.

TLLP Revolving Credit Facility

Overview. The TLLP Revolving Credit Facility provided for total loan availability of $900 million as of March 31, 2015, and TLLP may request that the loan availability be increased up to an aggregate of $1.5 billion, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders. The TLLP Revolving Credit Facility is non-recourse to Tesoro, except for TLGP, and is guaranteed by all of TLLP’s subsidiaries, with the exception of certain non-wholly owned subsidiaries acquired in the Rockies Natural Gas Business acquisition, and secured by substantially all of TLLP’s assets. Borrowings are available under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility up to the total loan availability of the facility.

46

Covenants. The TLLP Revolving Credit Facility and TLLP senior notes contain certain covenants that may, among other things, limit or restrict TLLP’s ability (as well as those of TLLP’s subsidiaries) to:

• incur additional indebtedness and incur liens on assets to secure certain debt;

• pay and make certain restricted payments;

• make distributions from its subsidiaries;

• dispose of assets in excess of an annual threshold amount;

• in the case of the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility, make certain amendments, modifications or supplements to organization documents and material contracts;

• in the case of the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility, engage in certain business activities;

• engage in certain mergers or consolidations and transfers of assets; and

• enter into non-arm’s-length transactions with affiliates.

We do not believe that the limitations imposed by the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility will restrict TLLP’s ability to pay distributions. Additionally, the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants that require TLLP to maintain certain interest coverage and leverage ratios. TLLP was in compliance with all TLLP Revolving Credit Facility and TLLP senior notes covenants as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Tesoro Debt

Term Loan Facility. We entered into the Term Loan Facility in January 2013, which allowed us to borrow up to an aggregate of $500 million, which we used to fund a portion of the acquisition of BP’s integrated Southern California refining, marketing and logistics business (the “Los Angeles Acquisition”). The Term Loan Facility matures May 30, 2016. The obligations under the Term Loan Facility are secured by all equity interests of Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC and Tesoro Alaska Company LLC, the Tesoro and USA Gasoline trademarks and those trademarks containing the name “ARCO” acquired in the Los Angeles Acquisition, and junior liens on certain assets. The Term Loan Facility may be repaid at any time but amounts may not be re-borrowed. There were no payments on the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The borrowings under our Term Loan Facility incurred interest at a rate of 2.43% as of March 31, 2015 based on the following expense and fee schedule:

Credit Facility	30 day Eurodollar (LIBOR) Rate	Eurodollar Margin	Base Rate	Base Rate Margin	Commitment Fee (unused portion)
Term Loan Facility ($398 million) (a)	0.18%	2.25%	3.25%	1.25%	—%

____________________

(a) We can elect the interest rate to apply to the facility between a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable term, plus the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing.

The Term Loan Facility contains affirmative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default substantially similar to those set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility and contains negative covenants substantially similar to those set forth in most of our current indentures.

Share Repurchases

We are authorized by our Board to purchase shares of our common stock in open market transactions at our discretion. The Board’s authorization has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Purchases of our common stock can also be made to offset the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards and to meet our obligations under employee benefit and compensation plans, including the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock and to fulfill other stock compensation requirements. We purchased approximately 0.3 million shares and 1.9 million shares of our common stock for approximately $19 million and $100 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We have $981 million remaining under our authorized programs.

47

Cash Dividends

We paid cash dividends totaling $54 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 based on a $0.425 per share quarterly cash dividend on common stock. We paid cash dividends totaling $33 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 based on a $0.25 per share quarterly cash dividend on common stock. On May 7, 2015, our Board declared a cash dividend of $0.425 per share, payable on June 15, 2015 to shareholders of record on May 29, 2015.

Cash Flow Summary

Working capital (excluding cash) increased $509 million in the 2015 Quarter primarily related to the timing of our payments for crude oil, refined product purchases and other accrued expenses and increased inventory levels.

Components of our cash flows are set forth below (in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Cash Flows Used in:
Operating activities	$	(148	)	$	(150	)
Investing activities	(273		)	(109		)
Financing activities	(120		)	(181		)
Decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	(541	)	$	(440	)

Net cash used in operating activities during the 2015 Quarter was relatively flat at $148 million as compared to $150 million in the 2014 Quarter. The increase in net earnings of $85 million and impact of non-cash items were offset by the change in working capital during the 2015 Quarter compared to the 2014 Quarter. Net cash used in investing activities increased $164 million to $273 million in the 2015 Quarter as compared to $109 million in the 2014 Quarter, primarily due to the increase in capital expenditures to $271 million. Net cash used in financing activities during the 2015 Quarter totaled $120 million as compared to $181 million in the 2014 Quarter. The decrease of $61 million is primarily attributable to the decrease in common stock repurchases during the 2015 Quarter compared to the 2014 Quarter.

48

Capital Expenditures

The cost estimates for capital expenditures, including environmental projects, described below are subject to further review and analysis and permitting requirements. Our capital spending plans include the following major projects (in millions):

Major Projects	Total Project Expected Capital Expenditures (a)		Actual 2015 Capital Expenditures (b)		Expected Capital Expenditures for Remainder of 2015 (a)		Expected In-service Date
In Process:
Salt Lake City Refinery Expansion (c)	$	380	$	58	$	20	2013-2015
TLLP’s Connolly Gathering System (d)	150		23		85		2014-2015
Clean Product Upgrade Project (e)	300		—		30		2017
Avon Wharf Project (f)	168		15		49		2017
Under Development:
Los Angeles Refinery Integration (g)	$ 400 - 425		$	7	$	50	2017

____________________

(a) The cost estimates for capital expenditures exclude estimates for capitalized interest and labor costs.

(b) 2015 actual capital expenditure disclosures include capitalized interest and labor costs associated with the project.

(c) The expansion project at the Salt Lake City refinery is designed to improve yields of gasoline and diesel, improve the flexibility of processing crude feedstocks and increase throughput capacity by 4 Mbpd. The expansion project increases potential Waxy Crude oil processing capabilities up to 26 Mbpd. We expect the work to be completed in the second quarter of 2015.

(d) TLLP is building and funding the construction of a pipeline gathering system (the “Connolly Gathering System”) to gather crude oil from various points in Dunn County, North Dakota for delivery at its existing Connolly Station with an expected capacity of approximately 60 Mbpd.

(e) The Clean Product Upgrade Project at our Anacortes, Washington refinery allows compliance with Tier 3 gasoline sulfur reduction; reduction of gasoline production costs; extraction of existing mixed xylene from gasoline and logistics capability for its export to manufacturers of polyester fibers and films used in clothing, food packaging and beverage containers. The project was approved by our board in February 2015 with approximately $30 million approved for the first phase of the project. The project remains subject to regulatory approval, which we expect to finalize in 2015.

(f) The regulatory and compliance project for the Avon Wharf in Martinez, California is required under the 2013 California building code for Marine Oil Terminal Engineering and Maintenance Standards (“MOTEMS”). The project will replace the existing berth with a MOTEMS compliant structure that will improve clean product movements and has received regulatory approval and expect to receive permits in the second quarter 2015.

(g) The integration project at the Los Angeles refinery is designed to improve the flexibility of gasoline and diesel yields and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The proposed project, subject to final board approval, project scoping, engineering and regulatory approval, includes decommissioning the fluid catalytic cracking unit at our Wilmington refinery.

Capital expenditures during the 2015 Quarter were $260 million, including $66 million of TLLP capital spending for the 2015 Quarter. Our capital spending is expected to be $600 million for 2015, reflecting the Company’s emphasis on long-term strategic priorities including continued focus on safety and reliability and greater focus on value-driven growth. The 2015 capital budget excludes TLLP expected capital spending of $450 million, which is primarily financed by TLLP. Our 2015 Quarter capital expenditure amounts, excluding TLLP capital spending, are comprised of the following project categories at March 31, 2015:

Project Category	Percent of 2015 Quarter Capital Expenditures	Percent of 2015 Expected Capital Expenditures
Regulatory	25%	20%
Sustaining	23%	20%
Income Improvement	52%	60%

Turnarounds and other Deferred Expenditures

We spent $83 million during the 2015 Quarter for turnarounds, catalysts and other deferred expenditures, including $77 million for turnarounds primarily at our Martinez, Anacortes, and Los Angeles refineries. Total expected spending for 2015 on turnarounds and catalysts is $286 million primarily spent at our Los Angeles, Anacortes and Martinez refineries. Additionally, total expected spend on deferred branding costs in our retail segment is $65 million for 2015.

49

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that would result in off-balance sheet liabilities.

Environmental and Other Matters

We are a party to various litigation and contingent loss situations, including environmental and income tax matters, arising in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcomes of these matters with certainty, we have accrued for the estimated liabilities when appropriate. We believe that the outcome of these matters will not have a material impact on our liquidity or financial position, although the resolution of certain of these matters could have a material impact on our interim or annual results of operations. Additionally, if applicable, we accrue receivables for probable third-party recoveries.

Environmental Laws and Regulations. We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which change frequently, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require us to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites, install additional controls or make other modifications to certain emission sources, equipment or facilities.

Future expenditures may be required to comply with the Clean Air Act and other federal, state and local requirements for our various sites, including our refineries, tank farms, pipelines and currently and previously owned or operated terminal and retail station properties. The impact of these legislative and regulatory requirements, including any greenhouse gas cap-and-trade program or low carbon fuel standards, could result in increased compliance costs, additional operating restrictions on our business and an increase in the cost of the products we manufacture, which could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, consolidated financial position, or results of operations.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) proposed regulating greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions under the Clean Air Act in 2009. The first of these regulations, finalized in April 2010, set standards for the control of GHG emissions from light trucks and cars which could reduce the demand for our manufactured transportation fuels. In addition, the EPA has also finalized regulations to establish permitting requirements for stationary sources that emit GHG above a certain threshold. On June 23, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court narrowed the EPA’s regulatory authority but upheld portions of the EPA’s rulemaking that would regulate GHG emissions from permitted stationary sources. The stationary source permitting requirements could impose emission controls that increase required capital expenditures at our refineries. We cannot currently predict the impact of these or other regulations on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

The Energy Independence and Security Act was enacted into federal law in December 2007 creating a second Renewable Fuels Standard (“RFS2”) requiring the total volume of renewable transportation fuels (including ethanol and advanced biofuels) sold or introduced in the U.S. to reach 20.5 billion gallons in 2015 and to increase to 36.0 billion gallons by 2022. These requirements could reduce future demand growth for petroleum products that we manufacture. In the near term, the RFS2 presents ethanol production and logistics challenges for the ethanol, alternative fuel and refining and marketing industries. The EPA has proposed, but has yet to finalize, a reduced total renewable fuel requirement of 15.2 billion gallons for 2014 and has yet to propose requirements for 2015. In the absence of binding renewable fuel requirements for 2014 and 2015, we believe that we are currently meeting our renewable fuel obligations pursuant to the RFS2, through a combination of Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) that were carried over from prior periods, blending renewable fuels obtained from third parties and purchases of RINs in the open market. The spending related to the purchases of RINs for 2015 is not expected to be material based on our operations and the current regulatory environment. Actual costs related to RINs may differ due to changes in the market price of RINs and the ultimate destinations of our products. Additional expenditures could be required to logistically accommodate the increased use of renewable transportation fuels. While we cannot currently estimate the ultimate impact of this statute and implementing its regulations for future blending mandates, and currently believe that the outcome will not have a material impact on our liquidity or financial position, the ultimate outcome could have a material impact on our results of operations.

In California, Assembly Bill 32 (“AB 32”) created a statewide cap on greenhouse gas emissions by requiring that the state return to 1990 emission levels by 2020. AB 32 focuses on using market mechanisms, such as a cap-and-trade program and a low carbon fuel standard (“LCFS”), to achieve emissions reduction targets. The LCFS became effective in January 2010 and requires a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity of gasoline and diesel fuel by 2020. In 2011, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) approved cap-and-trade requirements that became effective in January 2013, and all of AB 32 related regulations are to be fully implemented by 2020. In December 2011, a U.S. District Court ruled that the LCFS violates the U.S. Constitution. CARB appealed the decision and, on September 18, 2013, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower court’s decision and remanded the case to the lower court to rule on whether the ethanol provisions of the LCFS are unconstitutional. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the lower court’s ruling on the LCFS, and the implementation and implications of AB 32 will take many years to realize. On January 1, 2015, transportation fuels were brought into the California cap-and-trade program, making fuel suppliers responsible for carbon emission from their products. The cost for carbon emissions is being passed through to customers. We cannot currently predict the long-term impact of the LCFS, cap and trade requirements, and other AB 32 related regulations on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

Washington Refinery Fire. The naphtha hydrotreater unit at our Washington refinery was involved in a fire in April 2010, which fatally injured seven employees and rendered the unit inoperable. The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (“L&I”) initiated an investigation of the incident. L&I completed its investigation in October 2010, issued citations and assessed a $2.4 million fine, which we appealed. L&I reassumed jurisdiction of the citation and affirmed the allegations in December 2010. We disagree with L&I’s characterizations of operations at our Washington refinery and believe, based on available evidence and scientific reviews, that many of the agency’s conclusions are mistaken. We filed an appeal of the citation in January 2011. In separate September 2013, November 2013 and February 2015 orders, the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals granted partial summary judgment in our favor and dismissed most of the citations. We have established an accrual for this matter although we cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of its resolution.

On November 20, 2013, we received a notice of violation (“NOV”) from the EPA alleging 46 violations of the Clean Air Act Risk Management Plan requirements at our Washington refinery. The EPA conducted an investigation of the refinery in 2011, following the April 2010 fire in the naphtha hydrotreater unit. We have provided a response to the NOV and additional information to the EPA. While we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of this matter, we believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

In January 2015, we received notice and demand for indemnity from the previous owner of our Washington refinery for damages incurred in the civil litigation brought by the families of those fatally wounded in the April 2010 refinery fire. We settled our involvement in civil litigation in 2012. Arbitration proceedings were initiated in March 2015 after an unsuccessful mediation and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against this claim.

Environmental Liabilities. We are incurring and expect to continue to incur expenses for environmental remediation liabilities at a number of currently and previously owned or operated refining, pipeline, terminal and retail station properties. We have accrued liabilities for these expenses and believe these accruals are adequate based on current information and projections that can be reasonably estimated. Additionally, we have recognized environmental remediation liabilities assumed in past acquisitions from the prior owners that include amounts estimated for site cleanup and monitoring activities arising from operations at refineries, certain terminals and pipelines, and retail stations prior to the dates of our acquisitions. Our environmental accruals are based on estimates including engineering assessments, and it is possible that our projections will change and that additional costs will be recorded as more information becomes available.

Our accruals for environmental expenditures totaled $259 million and $274 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, including $28 million and $32 million for TLLP, respectively. These accruals include $208 million and $216 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, related to amounts estimated for site cleanup activities arising from operations at our Martinez refinery and operations of assets acquired in the Los Angeles Acquisition prior to their respective acquisition dates. We cannot reasonably determine the full extent of remedial activities that may be required at the Martinez refinery and for assets acquired in the Los Angeles Acquisition, and it is possible that we will identify additional investigation and remediation costs for site cleanup activities as more information becomes available. The environmental remediation liabilities assumed in the Los Angeles Acquisition include amounts estimated for site cleanup activities and monitoring activities arising from operations at the Carson refinery, certain terminals and pipelines, and retail stations prior to our acquisition on June 1, 2013. These estimates for environmental liabilities are based on third-party assessments and available information. Our estimates for site cleanup activities reflect amounts for which we are responsible under applicable cost-sharing arrangements. We also have insurance policies related to certain matters at our Martinez refinery that provide coverage up to $190 million for expenditures in excess of $50 million in self-insurance. We have not recognized possible insurance recoveries and the insurer has challenged coverage and filed a declaratory relief action in federal court.

51

Other Matters

In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. Large, and sometimes unspecified, damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters. We have not established accruals for these matters unless a loss is probable, and the amount of loss is currently estimable.

Environmental. The EPA has alleged that we have violated certain Clean Air Act regulations at our Alaska, Washington, Martinez, North Dakota and Utah refineries. We also retained the responsibility for resolving similar allegations relating to our former Hawaii refinery, which we sold in September 2013. We previously received a NOV in March 2011 from the EPA alleging violations of Title V of the Clean Air Act at our Alaska refinery, which arose from a 2007 state of Alaska inspection and inspections by the EPA in 2008 and 2010. We also previously received NOVs in 2005 and 2008 alleging violations of the Clean Air Act at our Washington refinery. We are continuing discussions of all EPA claims with the EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice. We have established an accrual for this matter although we cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of its resolution. The ultimate resolution of these matters could have a material impact on our future interim or annual results of operations, as we may be required to incur material capital expenditures at our operating refineries. However, we do not believe that the final outcome of this matter will have a material impact on our liquidity or financial position.

We have investigated conditions at certain active wastewater treatment units at our Martinez refinery pursuant to an order received in 2004 from the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board that named us as well as two previous owners of the Martinez refinery. We cannot currently estimate the amount of the ultimate resolution of the order, but we believe it will not have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

Certain non-governmental organizations filed a Request for Agency Action (the “Request”) with the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (“UDEQ”) concerning our Utah refinery in October 2012. The Request challenges the UDEQ’s permitting of our refinery conversion project alleging that the permits do not conform to the requirements of the Clean Air Act. As the permittee, we are the real party in interest and are defending the permits with UDEQ. In orders issued on July 10 and September 9, 2014, the UDEQ Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) recommended the Executive Director of UDEQ deny Petitioners’ request for a stay of the project and dismiss their challenge to the permit. The Executive Director’s final decision approving the ALJ’s recommended order is currently under appeal. While we cannot estimate the timing or estimated amount, if any, associated with the outcome of this matter, we do not believe it will have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

In response to incidents in February and March 2014 at our Martinez refinery involving sulfuric acid exposure at the Alkylation Unit the EPA is conducting an investigation to evaluate the Martinez refinery’s compliance with certain federal environmental acts and the Risk Management Plan requirements under the Clean Air Act. While we cannot currently predict the timing and the resolution of this investigation, we believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

In August 2014, we received citations from the California Department of Industrial Relations (“Cal-OSHA”) alleging violations of the California Labor Code associated with the two incidents at our Martinez refinery in February and March 2014. We are working with Cal-OSHA to mitigate and resolve the allegations. While we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of this matter, the outcome will not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

Tax. We are subject to extensive federal, state and foreign tax laws and regulations. Newly enacted tax laws and regulations, and changes in existing tax laws and regulations, could result in increased expenditures in the future. We are also subject to audits by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities in the normal course of business. It is possible that tax audits could result in claims against us in excess of recorded liabilities. However, we believe that resolution of any such claim(s) would not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations. It is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by as much as $8 million in the next twelve months, related primarily to state apportionment matters. However, since the tax was fully paid in prior years, the unrecognized tax benefit would be eliminated without impacting expense.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Management

We have established a risk committee comprised of senior level leadership from our financial, strategic, governance, administrative and operational functions. The risk committee’s responsibilities include the performance of an annual review to assess and prioritize the Company’s risks in coordination with our subject matter experts, assessment of the status and effectiveness of risk prevention and mitigation activities, identify emerging risks and facilitating management’s development of risk assessment and management practices. The risk committee is also responsible to assess and advise management on the Company’s system of controls to ensure policies and procedures are properly followed and appropriate accountability is present. The Company’s controls are designed to:

• create and maintain a comprehensive risk management policy;

• provide for authorization by the appropriate levels of management;

• provide for segregation of duties;

• maintain an appropriate level of knowledge regarding the execution of and the accounting for derivative instruments; and

• implement key indicators to measure the performance of its hedging activities.

The risk committee meets at least monthly to review priority and emerging risks and risk prevention and mitigation activities. In addition, our risk committee chairman presents a quarterly risk update to executive management and an annual update to our Board of Directors concerning the status and effectiveness of our risk prevention and mitigation activities, emerging risks and risk assessment and management practices.

Commodity Price Risks

Our primary source of market risk is the difference between the sale prices for our refined products and the purchase prices for crude oil and other feedstocks. Refined product prices are directly influenced by the price of crude oil. Our earnings and cash flows from operations depend on the margin, relative to fixed and variable expenses (including the costs of crude oil and other feedstocks), at which we are able to sell our refined products. The prices of crude oil and refined products fluctuate substantially and depend on many factors including the global supply and demand for crude oil and refined products. This demand is impacted by changes in the global economy, the level of foreign and domestic production of crude oil and refined products, geo-political conditions, the availability of imports of crude oil and refined products, the relative strength of the U.S. dollar, the marketing of alternative and competing fuels and the impact of government regulations. Our refined product sale prices are also affected by local factors such as local market conditions and the level of operations of other suppliers in our markets.

In most cases, an increase or decrease in the price of crude oil results in a corresponding increase or decrease in the price of gasoline and other refined products. The timing, direction and the overall change in refined product prices versus crude oil prices could have a significant impact on our profit margins, earnings and cash flows. Assuming all other factors remained constant, a $1 per barrel change in average gross refining margins, based on our quarter-to-date average throughput of 696 Mbpd, would change annualized pre-tax operating income by approximately $250 million. This analysis may differ from actual results.

We maintain inventories of crude oil, intermediate products and refined products, the values of which are subject to fluctuations in market prices. Our inventories of refinery feedstocks and refined products totaled 43 million barrels and 42 million barrels at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The average cost of our refinery feedstocks and refined products at March 31, 2015, was approximately $59 per barrel compared to market prices of approximately $67 per barrel.

We use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of crude oil and finished products and inventories above or below our target levels. We also use these instruments to manage the impact of market volatility and arbitrage opportunities for crude oil where the price of crude oil is higher in the future than the current spot price. For the purchase or sale of crude oil and finished products to be used in our normal operations, we may enter into physical commodity forward purchase and sale contracts (“Forward Contracts”), which are not typically classified and reported as derivatives for accounting purposes. The gains or losses associated with these Forward Contracts are recognized as incurred in our financial statements separate from the gains or losses associated with other derivative instruments reported below and in Note 6 to our financial statements in Part 1 Item 1.

54

Also, we may enter into derivative contracts such as exchange-traded futures, over-the-counter swaps, options and over-the-counter options, most of which had remaining durations of less than one year as of March 31, 2015, to economically hedge price risk associated with our physical commodity Forward Contracts or to take advantage of other market opportunities. We mark-to-market these derivative instruments each period during the contract term, which can create timing differences for gain or loss recognition in our financial statements. The derivative gains or losses presented below do not reflect the realized losses or gains, respectively, from the settlement of our physical commodity transactions. Both the derivative and the physical commodity Forward Contracts’ gains and losses are reflected in our gross refining margin in the refining segment. We evaluate our performance based on all contract types available to manage our risk, which includes contracts that may or may not be classified and reported as derivatives for accounting purposes.

We believe the governance structure that we have in place is adequate given the size and sophistication of our commodity optimization, inventory management and trading activities. Our governance over commodity activities includes regular monitoring of the performance of our risk management strategies and limits over dollar and volume based transactional authority, commodity position, aggregate spread, stop-loss and value-at-risk. Performance against our strategies and authorized limits is monitored daily via position reports and profit and loss analysis and is reviewed on a regular basis, at least monthly, by our risk committee.

Net earnings during the first quarter of 2015 included a net gain of $45 million but were not impacted during the first quarter of 2014 on our commodity derivative positions comprised of the following (dollars in millions):

	Net Gain (Loss)
	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Unrealized gain (loss) carried on open derivative positions from prior period	$	(177	)	$	19
Realized gain (loss) on settled derivative positions	184			(3		)
Unrealized gain (loss) on open net derivative positions	38			(16		)
Net Gain	$	45		$	—

Our open derivative positions at March 31, 2015, will expire at various times through 2017. We prepared a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk associated with our derivative instruments. This analysis may differ from actual results. Based on our open net positions at March 31, 2015, a 1% change in quoted market prices of our derivative instruments, assuming all other factors remain constant, could change the fair value of our derivative instruments and pre-tax operating income by approximately $7 million.

Counterparty Credit Risk

We have exposure to concentrations of credit risk related to the ability of our counterparties to meet their contractual payment obligations, and the potential non-performance of counterparties to deliver contracted commodities or services at the contracted price. Customer concentrations within the refining industry may affect our overall exposure to counterparty risk because these customers may be similarly impacted by changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, financial services companies are the counterparties in certain of our price risk management activities, and such financial services companies could be adversely impacted by periods of uncertainty and illiquidity in the credit or capital markets. We have credit management processes in place by which we closely monitor the status of our counterparties by performing ongoing credit evaluations of their financial condition. In certain circumstances, we require prepayments, letters of credit or other credit enhancement.

Interest Rate Risk

Our use of fixed or variable-rate debt directly exposes us to interest rate risk. Fixed rate debt, such as our senior notes, exposes us to changes in the fair value of our debt due to changes in market interest rates. Fixed rate debt also exposes us to the risk that we may need to refinance maturing debt with new debt at higher rates, or that we may be obligated to pay rates higher than the current market. Variable-rate debt, such as borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility or Term Loan Credit Facility, exposes us to short-term changes in market rates that impact our interest expense. The carrying values of our debt were approximately $4.2 billion at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the fair values of our debt were approximately $4.3 billion and $4.2 billion at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. These carrying and fair values of our debt do not include the unamortized issuance costs associated with our total debt.

55

We currently do not use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate risk; however, we continue to monitor the market and our exposure, and in the future, we may enter into these transactions to mitigate risk. We believe in the short-term we have acceptable interest rate risk and continue to monitor the risk on our long-term obligations. With all other variables constant, a 0.25% change in the interest rate associated with the borrowings outstanding under our Term Loan Credit Facility at March 31, 2015 would change annual interest expense by approximately $2 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $235 million borrowings outstanding under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2015.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information that we are required to disclose in reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”), is accumulated and appropriately communicated to management. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined by applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules) during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect these controls.

We carried out an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the reporting period. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

56

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. Large, and sometimes unspecified, damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters and certain matters may require years to resolve. Although we cannot provide assurance, we believe that an adverse resolution of the matters described below, except as may be specifically disclosed, will not have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

Washington Refinery Fire. The naphtha hydrotreater unit at our Washington refinery was involved in a fire in April 2010, which fatally injured seven employees and rendered the unit inoperable. The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (“L&I”) initiated an investigation of the incident. L&I completed its investigation in October 2010, issued citations and assessed a $2.4 million fine, which we appealed. L&I reassumed jurisdiction of the citation and affirmed the allegations in December 2010. We disagree with L&I’s characterizations of operations at our Washington refinery and believe, based on available evidence and scientific reviews, that many of the agency’s conclusions are mistaken. We filed an appeal of the citation in January 2011. In separate September 2013, November 2013 and February 2015 orders, the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals granted partial summary judgment in our favor and dismissed most of the citations. We have established an accrual for this matter although we cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of its resolution.

In January 2015, we received notice and demand for indemnity from the previous owner of our Washington refinery for damages incurred in the civil litigation brought by the families of those fatally wounded in the April 2010 refinery fire. We settled our involvement in civil litigation in 2012. Arbitration proceedings were initiated in March 2015 after an unsuccessful mediation and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against this claim.

In January 2015, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (the “BAAQMD”) offered to settle four notices of violations (“NOV”) received at our Martinez refinery from May through September 2013. The allegations concern hydrocarbon emissions from a process water drain system. While we are actively discussing a settlement of the allegations with BAAQMD, we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of this matter.

On October 30, 2014, we received an offer to settle 36 NOVs received from the BAAQMD. The NOVs were issued from March 2012 to October 2013 and allege violations of air quality regulations at our Martinez refinery. While we actively discussing a settlement of the allegations with BAAQMD, we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of this matter.

On January 16, 2014, we received a NOV from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (“ADEC”) alleging violations of emission limits in 7 process heaters at our Kenai refinery. The allegations are based on results of emission tests conducted in September 2013. While we are working with ADEC to mitigate the emissions and resolve the allegations we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of this matter.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no significant changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
