Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Purchase Price Allocation of Billings Acquisition The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the Billings Acquisition were estimated as of June 1, 2023, the date of the acquisition, using valuation techniques described in notes (1) through (5) below. Valuation Fair Value Technique (in thousands) Net working capital excluding operating leases $ 294,507 (1) Property, plant, and equipment 259,088 (2) Operating lease right-of-use assets 3,562 (3) Refining and logistics equity investments 86,600 (4) Other long-term assets 4,094 (1) Current operating lease liabilities (2,081) (3) Long-term operating lease liabilities (1,481) (3) Environmental liabilities (18,869) (5) Total $ 625,420 (1) Current assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their net realizable value. Other long-term assets includes preliminary costs for future turnarounds that were recently incurred and were recorded at their net realizable values. (2) The fair value of personal property was estimated using the cost approach. Key assumptions in the cost approach include determining the replacement cost by evaluating recent purchases of comparable assets or published data, and adjusting replacement cost for economic and functional obsolescence, location, normal useful lives, and capacity (if applicable). The fair value of real property was estimated using the market approach. Key assumptions in the market approach include determining the asset value by evaluating recent purchases of comparable assets under similar circumstances. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. (3) Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities were recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using the incremental borrowing rate at acquisition of 9.6%. (4) The fair value of our investments in YELP and YPLC were determined using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we estimated the present value of expected future cash flows using a market participant discount rate. Under the market approach, we estimated fair value using observable multiples for comparable companies in the investments’ industries. These valuation methods require us to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows, capital projects, commodity prices, long-term growth rates, and discount rates. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. (5) Environmental liabilities are based on management’s best estimates of probable future costs using currently available information. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. Equity Method Investments We evaluate equity method investments for impairment when factors indicate that a decrease in the value of our investment has occurred and the carrying amount of our investment may not be recoverable. An impairment loss, based on the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the investment, is recognized in earnings when an impairment is deemed to be other than temporary. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Derivative Instruments We classify financial assets and liabilities according to the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. These include our exchange traded futures. Level 2 instruments are valued using quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Our Level 2 instruments include OTC swaps and options. These derivatives are valued using market quotations from independent price reporting agencies and commodity exchange price curves that are corroborated with market data. Level 3 instruments are valued using significant unobservable inputs that are not supported by sufficient market activity. The valuation of the embedded derivatives related to our J. Aron repurchase obligation is based on estimates of the prices and differentials assuming settlement at the end of the reporting period. Estimates of the J. Aron settlement prices are based on observable inputs, such as Brent indices, and unobservable inputs, such as contractual price differentials as defined in the Supply and Offtake Agreement. Such contractual differentials vary by location and by the type of product, have a weighted average premium of $9.46, and range from a discount of $6.99 per barrel to a premium of $36.46 per ba rrel as of March 31, 2024. Contractual price differentials are considered unobservable inputs; therefore, these embedded derivatives are classified as Level 3 instruments. We do not have other commodity derivatives classified as Level 3 at March 31, 2024, or December 31, 2023. Please read Note 12—Derivatives for further information on derivatives. Gross Environmental Credit Obligations During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, we had a change in estimate in our valuation of our gross environmental credit obligations due to the settlement of all outstanding prior period environmental credit obligations. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023, the portion of the estimated gross environmental credit obligations satisfied by internally generated or purchased RINs or other environmental credits is recorded at the carrying value of such internally generated or purchased RINs or other environmental credits. The remainder of the estimated gross environmental credit obligation is recorded at the market price of the RINs or other environmental credits that are needed to satisfy the remaining obligation as of the end of the reporting period and classified as Level 2 instruments as we obtain the pricing inputs for the RINs and other environmental credits from brokers based on market quotes on similar instruments. Please read Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies for further information on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) regulations related to greenhouse gases.

The fair value of all non-derivative financial instruments recorded in current assets, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and trade accounts receivable, and current liabilities, including accounts payable, approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature. |
