PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
Note 1—Overview
Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Par” or the “Company”) provide both renewable and conventional fuels to the western United States. Currently, we operate in three primary business segments:
1) Refining - We own and operate four refineries. Our refineries in Kapolei, Hawaii, Newcastle, Wyoming, Tacoma, Washington, and Billings, Montana, convert crude oil into gasoline, distillate, asphalt and other products to serve the state of Hawaii and areas ranging from Washington state to the Dakotas and Wyoming.
2) Retail - We operate fuel retail outlets in Hawaii, Washington, and Idaho. We operate convenience stores and fuel retail sites under our “Hele” and “nomnom” brands, “76” branded fuel retail sites and other sites operated by third parties that sell gasoline, diesel, and retail merchandise such as soft drinks, prepared foods, and other sundries. We also operate unattended cardlock stations.
3) Logistics - We operate an extensive multi-modal logistics network spanning the Pacific, the Northwest, and the Rocky Mountain regions. This network includes a single point mooring (“SPM”) in Hawaii, a unit train-capable rail loading terminal in Washington, and other terminals, pipelines, trucking operations, marine vessels, storage facilities, loading and truck racks, and rail facilities for the movement of petroleum, refined products, and ethanol in and among the Hawaiian islands, between the U.S. West Coast and Hawaii, and in areas ranging from the state of Washington to the Dakotas and Wyoming.
As of June 30, 2024, we owned a 46.0% equity investment in Laramie Energy, LLC (“Laramie Energy”). Laramie Energy is focused on developing and producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco counties, Colorado. As of June 30, 2024, through the Billings Acquisition (as defined in Note 5—Acquisitions), we own a 65% and a 40% equity investment in Yellowstone Energy Limited Partnership, (“YELP”) and Yellowstone Pipeline Company (“YPLC”), respectively.
Our Corporate and Other reportable segment primarily includes general and administrative costs.
Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Par and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts previously reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the complete fiscal year or for any other period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the related disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
Allowance for Credit Losses
We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our sales of refined products. Credit limits and/or prepayment requirements are set based on such factors as the customer’s financial results, credit rating, payment history, and industry and are reviewed annually for customers with material credit limits. Credit allowances are reviewed at least quarterly based on changes in the customer’s creditworthiness due to economic conditions, liquidity, and business strategy as publicly reported and
6
PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
through discussions between the customer and the Company. We establish provisions for losses on trade receivables based on the estimated credit loss we expect to incur over the life of the receivable. We did not have a material change in our allowances on trade receivables during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, or 2023.
Cost Classifications
Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) includes the hydrocarbon-related costs of inventory sold, transportation costs of delivering product to customers, crude oil consumed in the refining process, costs to satisfy our environmental credit obligations, and certain hydrocarbon fees and taxes. Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) also includes the unrealized gains and losses on derivatives and inventory valuation adjustments. Certain direct operating expenses related to our logistics segment are also included in Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation).
Operating expense (excluding depreciation) includes direct costs of labor, maintenance and services, energy and utility costs, property taxes, and environmental compliance costs, as well as chemicals and catalysts and other direct operating expenses.
The following table summarizes depreciation and finance lease amortization expense excluded from each line item in our condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

Note 3—Refining and Logistics Equity Investments
Yellowstone Energy Limited Partnership
On June 1, 2023, we completed the Billings Acquisition and acquired a 65% limited partnership ownership interest in YELP. YELP owns a cogeneration facility in Billings, Montana that converts petroleum coke, supplied from our Montana refinery and other nearby third-party refineries, into power production for the local utility grid. We account for our investment in YELP using the equity method as we have the ability to exert significant influence over, but do not control its operating and financial policies. Our proportionate share of YELP’s net income and the depreciation of our basis difference are included in Equity earnings from refining and logistics investments on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and reported as part of our refining segment. Please read Note 19—Segment Information for further information on our reporting segments. Our proportionate share of YELP’s net income (loss) is recorded on a one-month lag.

Yellowstone Pipeline Company
On June 1, 2023, we completed the Billings Acquisition and acquired a 40% ownership interest in YPLC. YPLC owns a refined products pipeline that begins at our Montana refinery and transports refined product throughout Montana and the Pacific Northwest. We account for our ownership interest in YPLC using the equity method as we have the ability to exert significant influence over, but do not control, its operating and financial policies. Our proportionate share of YPLC’s net income and the accretion of our basis difference is included in Equity earnings from refining and logistics investments on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, and reported as part of our logistics segment.

Note 4—Investment in Laramie Energy
As of June 30, 2024, we owned a 46.0% ownership interest in Laramie Energy, an entity focused on developing and producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco counties, Colorado. The balance of our investment in Laramie Energy was $16.0 million and $14.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
On February 21, 2023, Laramie Energy entered into a new term loan agreement which provides a $205 million first lien term loan facility with $160.0 million funded at closing and an optional $45 million delayed draw commitment, subject to certain terms and conditions. Under the terms of the new term loan, Laramie is permitted to make future cash distributions to its owners, including us, subject to certain restrictions. Laramie Energy’s term loan matures on February 21, 2027. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the term loan had an outstanding balance of $160.0 million.
On March 1, 2023, pursuant to its new term loan agreement, Laramie Energy made a one-time cash distribution to its owners, including us, based on ownership percentage. Our share of this distribution was $10.7 million, which was reflected as Return of capital from Laramie Energy, LLC on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We recorded the cash received as Equity earnings (losses) from Laramie Energy, LLC on our condensed consolidated statements of operations because the carrying value of our investment in Laramie Energy was zero at the time of such distribution. On April 29, 2024, Laramie Energy made a one-time cash distribution to its owners, including us, based on ownership percentage. Our share of this distribution was $1.5 million.
Effective February 21, 2023, and concurrent with the new term loan agreement noted above, we resumed the application of equity method accounting with respect to our investment in Laramie Energy. At June 30, 2024, our equity in the underlying net assets of Laramie Energy exceeded the carrying value of our investment by approximately $68.0 million. This difference arose primarily due to other-than-temporary impairments of our equity investment in Laramie Energy.

Note 5—Acquisitions
Billings Acquisition
On October 20, 2022, we and our subsidiaries Par Montana, LLC (“Par Montana”) and Par Montana Holdings, LLC (“Par Montana Holdings”), entered into an equity and asset purchase agreement (as amended to include Par Rocky Mountain Midstream, LLC, the “Purchase Agreement”) with Exxon Mobil Corporation, ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, and ExxonMobil Pipeline Company LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”) to purchase (i) the high-conversion, complex refinery located in Billings, Montana and certain associated distribution and logistics assets, (ii) the Sellers’ 65% limited partnership equity interest in YELP, and (iii) the Sellers’ 40% equity interest in YPLC for a base purchase price of $310.0 million plus the value of hydrocarbon inventory and adjusted working capital at closing (collectively, the “Billings Acquisition”). On June 1, 2023, we completed the Billings Acquisition for a total purchase price of approximately $625.4 million, including acquired working capital, consisting of a cash deposit of $30.0 million paid on October 20, 2022, upon execution of the Purchase Agreement and $595.4 million paid at closing on June 1, 2023. The Company funded the Billings Acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings from the ABL Credit Facility (as defined in Note 11—Debt).
We accounted for the Billings Acquisition as a business combination whereby the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. A summary of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows (in thousands):
Trade accounts receivable | $ | 2,387 | |||
Inventories | 299,176 | ||||

_______________________________________________________
(1)We allocated $538.7 million and $116.2 million of total assets to our refining and logistics segments, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024, we finalized the Billings Acquisition purchase price allocation. We incurred $5.1 million and $10.4 million of acquisition costs related to the Billings Acquisition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. These costs are included in Acquisition and integration costs on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We assumed certain environmental liabilities associated with the Billings Acquisition, including costs related to hazardous waste corrective measures, ground and surface water sampling and monitoring. We expect to incur these costs over a 20 to 30 year period.
The results of operations of the Montana refinery, newly acquired logistics assets in the Rockies region, and YELP and YPLC equity investments were included in our results beginning on June 1, 2023. The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents our consolidated revenues and net income as if the Billings Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2022 (in thousands):

These pro forma results were based on estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the Billings Acquisition been effective as of the dates presented, nor is it indicative of future operating results of the combined company. Pro forma adjustments include (i) incremental depreciation resulting from the estimated fair value of property, plant, and equipment acquired, (ii) transaction costs which were shifted from the six months ended June 30, 2023 to the six months ended June 30, 2022 and (iii) elimination of historical transactions between Par and the Montana assets.
Note 6—Revenue Recognition
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, receivables from contracts with customers were $398.2 million and $311.1 million, respectively. Our refining segment recognizes deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of delivery of products to the customer. Deferred revenue was $24.0 million and $15.2 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We have elected to apply a practical expedient not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected duration of less than one year and (ii) contracts where the variable consideration has been allocated entirely to our unsatisfied performance obligation.

Inventory Intermediation Agreement
On May 31, 2024, Par Hawaii Refining, LLC (“PHR“), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an inventory intermediation agreement with Citigroup Energy Inc. (“Citi”) (the “Inventory Intermediation Agreement”) to support our Hawaii refining operations. Pursuant to the Inventory Intermediation Agreement, Citi will finance and hold title to crude oil in storage tanks and certain crude oil in transit to be consumed by PHR’s refinery located in Kapolei, Hawaii (the “Hawaii Refinery”). In connection with the Inventory Intermediation Agreement, Citi will enter into certain hedging transactions, in each case, on terms and subject to conditions set forth in the Inventory Intermediation Agreement. The net cash proceeds of $203.1 million, presented as Proceeds from inventory financing agreements in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, were used to settle a portion of PHR’s outstanding obligations under the prior J. Aron intermediation agreement.
Upon entry into the Inventory Intermediation Agreement, Citi purchased from PHR all the crude oil held in its Hawaii storage tanks. Though title resides with Citi, the Inventory Intermediation Agreement is accounted for similar to a product financing arrangement and the crude oil inventories will continue to be included in our consolidated balance sheets until processed and sold to a third party. Monthly, we record a liability in an amount equal to the amount we expect to pay to repurchase the inventory held by Citi as, following expiration or termination of the Inventory Intermediation Agreement, we are obligated to purchase the crude oil then-owned by Citi at then-current market prices.
The Inventory Intermediation Agreement has a term of three years with a one-year extension option upon mutual agreement. Par Petroleum, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, guarantees PHR’s obligations under the Inventory Intermediation Agreement and certain other related agreements pursuant to an unsecured guaranty. In connection with the Inventory Intermediation Agreement, on May 31, 2024, PHR entered into a pledge and security agreement with Citi, which grants Citi a security interest on certain collateral to secure the obligations of PHR under the Inventory Intermediation Agreement.
The Inventory Intermediation Agreement also requires PHR to comply with certain covenants that restrict PHR’s ability to take certain actions, including certain limitations on PHR’s ability to incur debt and grant liens.

Supply and Offtake Agreement
Prior to May 31, 2024, we had a supply and offtake agreement with J. Aron to support our Hawaii refining operations (the “Supply and Offtake Agreement"). Under the Supply and Offtake Agreement, we paid or received certain fees from J. Aron based on changes in market prices over time. On May 31, 2024, the Supply and Offtake Agreement expired, the J. Aron Discretionary Draw Facility was terminated, and we entered into the Inventory Intermediation Agreement. We paid $382.1 million and $60.9 million to settle our J. Aron obligation and Discretionary Draw Facility remaining obligations, respectively. These payments are presented within Payments for termination of inventory financing agreements and Net borrowings (repayments) on deferred payment arrangements and receivable advances in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. In connection with the termination of the Supply and Offtake Agreement, we recognized termination costs of $0.2 million, which are recorded in Debt extinguishment and commitment costs on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The LC Facility was terminated on May 31, 2024, in connection with the termination of the Supply and Offtake Agreement and entry into the Inventory Intermediation Agreement. In connection with the termination of the LC Facility, we recognized debt extinguishment costs of $0.6 million, which are included in Debt extinguishment and commitment costs on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $141.7 million and $133.7 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility, as defined below, respectively. We had $57.1 million and $56.2 million in surety bonds outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Under the ABL Credit Facility and the Term Loan Credit Agreement, defined below, our subsidiaries are restricted from paying dividends or making other equity distributions, subject to certain exceptions.
ABL Credit Facility due 2028
On April 26, 2023, in connection with the Billings Acquisition, we entered into an Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement with certain lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent (as amended from time to time, the “ABL Credit Facility”). On March 22, 2024, we entered into the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the ABL Credit Facility. The Third Amendment provided for, among other things, (i) incremental commitments that increase the total revolver commitment under the ABL Credit Facility to $1.4 billion, (ii) future incremental increases up to $400 million, (iii) the joinder of PHR to the ABL Credit Facility as a Borrower and (iv) certain other amendments to the ABL Credit Facility to permit a new intermediation facility in favor of PHR. We recorded deferred financing costs of $3.8 million related to the Third Amendment that will be amortized over the remaining term of the ABL Credit Facility. On May 31, 2024, in connection with the entry into the Inventory Intermediation Agreement, PHR entered into a Joinder Agreement, as a borrower to the ABL Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2024, the ABL Credit Facility had $525 million outstanding in revolving loans, and a borrowing base of approximately $1.0 billion.
Term Loan Credit Agreement due 2030
On February 28, 2023, we entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (“Lenders”). Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Lenders made an initial senior secured term loan in the principal amount of $550.0 million at a price equal to 98.5% of its face value. The initial loan bears interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The net proceeds were used to refinance our existing Term Loan B Facility, repurchase our outstanding 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, and for general corporate purposes. We recognized an aggregate of $2.8 million in debt modification costs in connection with the refinancing, which were recorded in Debt extinguishment and commitment costs on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
On April 8, 2024, the Term Loan Credit Agreement was amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 1 to Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Amendment No. 1 to Term Loan Credit Agreement provided for, among other things, (i) a reduction in the Applicable Margin under the Term Loan Credit Agreement by 50 basis points, such that base rate loans and SOFR loans will bear interest at the applicable base rate plus 2.75% and 3.75%, respectively, and (ii) the elimination of the Term SOFR Adjustment of 10 basis points with respect to loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement requires quarterly payments of $1.4 million on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on June 30, 2023, with the balance due upon maturity. The Term Loan Credit Agreement matures on February 28, 2030.

Interest Rate Derivatives
We are exposed to interest rate volatility in our ABL Credit Facility, Term Loan Credit Agreement, and the Inventory Intermediation Agreement. We may utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk. On April 12, 2023, we entered into an interest rate collar transaction to manage our interest rate risk related to the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The interest rate collar agreement reduces variable interest rate risk from May 31, 2023, through May 31, 2026, with a notional amount of $300.0 million as of June 30, 2024. The terms of the agreement provide for an interest rate cap of 5.50% and floor of 2.30%, based on the three month SOFR as of the fixing date. We pay variable interest quarterly until the three month SOFR reaches the floor. If the three month SOFR is between the floor and the cap, no payment is due to either party. If the three month SOFR is greater than the cap, the counterparty pays us. The interest rate collar transaction expires on May 31, 2026.

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.

(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
18
PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
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 derivative related to our Citi repurchase obligation is based on estimates of the prices and a weighted-average price differential assuming settlement at the end of the reporting period. Estimates of the Citi settlement prices are based on observable inputs, such as Brent indices, and unobservable inputs, such as contractual price differentials as defined in the Inventory Intermediation Agreement. 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 June 30, 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.

Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various lawsuits and other contingent matters. We establish accruals for specific legal matters when we determine that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Tax and Related Matters
We are also party to various other legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory, tax or government audits, inquiries, and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business. From time to time, PHR has appealed various tax assessments related to its land, buildings, and fuel storage tanks, and is currently appealing the City of Honolulu’s property tax assessment for tax year 2023. During the first quarter of 2022, we received a tax assessment in the amount of $1.4 million from the Washington Department of Revenue related to its audit of certain taxes allegedly payable on certain sales of raw vacuum gas oil between 2014 and 2016. We believe the Department of Revenue’s interpretation is in conflict with its prior guidance and we appealed in November 2022. By opinion dated September 22, 2021, the Hawaii Attorney General reversed a prior 1964 opinion exempting various business transactions conducted in the Hawaii foreign trade zone from certain state taxes. We and other similarly situated state taxpayers who had previously claimed such exemptions, certain of which we are contractually obligated to indemnify, are currently being audited for such prior tax periods. Similarly, on September 30, 2021, we received notice of a complaint filed on May 17, 2021, on camera and under seal in the first circuit court of the state of Hawaii alleging that PHR,
23
PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. and certain unnamed defendants made false claims and statements in connection with various state tax returns related to our business conducted within the Hawaii foreign trade zone, and seeking unspecified damages, penalties, interest and injunctive relief. We dispute the allegations in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in such proceeding. We believe the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in these matters to be neither probable nor reasonably estimable.
Environmental Matters
Like other petroleum refiners, our operations are subject to extensive and periodically-changing federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management activities. Many of these regulations are becoming increasingly stringent and the cost of compliance can be expected to increase over time.
Periodically, we receive communications from various federal, state, and local governmental authorities asserting violations of environmental laws and/or regulations. These governmental entities may also propose or assess fines or require corrective actions for these asserted violations. Except as disclosed below, we do not anticipate that any such matters currently asserted will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Hawaii Consent Decree
On July 18, 2016, PHR and subsidiaries of Tesoro Corporation (“Tesoro”) entered into a consent decree with the EPA, the U.S. Department of Justice and other state governmental authorities concerning alleged violations of the federal Clean Air Act related to the ownership and operation of multiple facilities owned or formerly owned by Tesoro and its affiliates (“Consent Decree”), including our refinery in Kapolei, Hawaii, that we acquired from Tesoro in 2013. On September 29, 2023, we received a letter from EPA related to the alleged violation of certain air emission limits, controls, monitoring, and repair requirements under the Consent Decree. We are unable to predict the cost to resolve these alleged violations, but resolution will likely involve financial penalties or impose capital expenditure requirements that could be material.
Wyoming Refinery
Our Wyoming refinery is subject to a number of consent decrees, orders, and settlement agreements involving the EPA and/or the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, some of which date back to the late 1970s and several of which remain in effect, requiring further actions at the Wyoming refinery. The largest cost component arising from these various decrees relates to the investigation, monitoring, and remediation of soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment contamination associated with the facility’s historic operations. Investigative work by Hermes Consolidated LLC, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wyoming Pipeline Company, (collectively, “WRC” or “Wyoming Refining”) and negotiations with the relevant agencies as to remedial approaches remain ongoing on a number of aspects of the contamination, meaning that investigation, monitoring, and remediation costs are not reasonably estimable for some elements of these efforts. As of June 30, 2024, we have accrued $13.6 million for the well-understood components of these efforts based on current information, approximately one-third of which we expect to incur in the next five years and the remainder to be incurred over approximately 30 years.
Additionally, we believe the Wyoming refinery will need to modify or close a series of wastewater impoundments in the next several years and replace those impoundments with a new wastewater treatment system. Based on current information, reasonable estimates we have received suggest costs of approximately $11.6 million to design and construct a new wastewater treatment system.
Finally, among the various historic consent decrees, orders, and settlement agreements into which Wyoming Refining has entered, there are several penalty orders associated with exceedances of permitted limits by the Wyoming refinery’s wastewater discharges. Although the frequency of these exceedances has declined over time, Wyoming Refining may become subject to new penalty enforcement action in the next several years, which could involve penalties in excess of $300,000.
Washington Climate Commitment Act and Clean Fuel Standard
In 2021, the Washington legislature passed the Climate Commitment Act (“Washington CCA”), which established a cap and invest program designed to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Rules implementing the Washington CCA by the Washington Department of Ecology set a cap on greenhouse gas emissions, provide mechanisms for the sale and tracking of tradable emissions allowances, and establish additional compliance and accountability measures. The Washington CCA became effective in January 2023 and the first auction for emissions allowances took place in February 2023. Additionally, a low carbon fuel standard (the “Clean Fuel Standard”) that limits carbon in transportation fuels and enables
24

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
certain producers to buy or sell credits was also signed into law and became effective in 2023. We are required to purchase compliance credits or allowances if we are unable to reduce emissions at our Tacoma refinery or reduce the amount of carbon in the transportation fuels we sell in Washington, which could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. During the third quarter of 2023, we received and responded to a civil investigative demand for information related to our compliance with the Washington CCA.
Regulation of Greenhouse Gases
Under the Energy Independence and Security Act (the “EISA”), the Renewable Fuel Standard (the “RFS”) requires an increasing amount of renewable fuel to be blended into the nation’s transportation fuel supply. Over time, higher annual RFS requirements have the potential to reduce demand for our refined transportation fuel products. In the near term, the RFS will be satisfied primarily with fuel ethanol blended into gasoline or by purchasing renewable credits, referred to as RINs, to maintain compliance.
The RFS may present production and logistics challenges for both the renewable fuels and petroleum refining and marketing industries in that we may have to enter into arrangements with other parties or purchase D3 waivers from the EPA to meet our obligations to use advanced biofuels, including biomass-based diesel and cellulosic biofuel, with potentially uncertain supplies of these new fuels.
There will be compliance costs and uncertainties regarding how we will comply with the various requirements contained in the EISA, RFS, and other fuel-related regulations. We may experience a decrease in demand for refined petroleum products due to an increase in combined fleet mileage or due to refined petroleum products being replaced by renewable fuels.
Note 16—Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Program
On November 10, 2021, the Board authorized and approved a share repurchase program for up to $50 million of shares of our common stock with no specified end date. On August 2, 2023, the Board expanded the share repurchase authorization from $50 million to $250 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 2,209 thousand and 3,115 thousand shares were repurchased under this share repurchase program for $67.1 million and $99.5 million, respectively. The repurchased shares were retired by the Company upon receipt. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 110 thousand shares were repurchased under this share repurchase program for $2.6 million. As of June 30, 2024, there was $83.2 million of authorization remaining under this share repurchase program.

On February 27, 2024, William Pate, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), announced that he would retire from his CEO role effective May 1, 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, the Board approved the acceleration of unvested equity awards and the modification of vested stock options granted to him. For the six months June 30, 2024, we recorded a total of $13.1 million stock-based compensation expenses resulting from the equity awards modifications.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we granted 9 thousand and 269 thousand shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units with a fair value of approximately $0.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, there were approximately $16.0 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, which are expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we granted 350 thousand stock option awards with a weighted-average exercise price of $30.80 per share. As of June 30, 2024, there were approximately $6.6 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock option awards, which are expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 4.7 years.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we granted 64 thousand performance restricted stock units to executive officers; no grants were made for the three months ended June 30, 2024. These performance restricted stock units had a fair value of approximately $2.5 million and are subject to certain annual performance targets based on three-year-performance periods as defined by our Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2024, there were approximately $3.1 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the performance restricted stock units, which are expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

Note 18—Income Taxes
Effective in the first quarter of 2024, we began calculating our income tax provision using the estimated annual effective tax rate method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 740 - Income Taxes and we no longer apply the exception that allowed the use of the year-to-date effective tax rate method. We believe the change in this calculation is appropriate as it allows us to reliably calculate the estimated annual effective tax rate due to our sustained profitability and confidence in future earnings.
Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, differs from the statutory rates primarily as a result of the differing apportionment rates for our state income taxes as well as an adjustment for equity compensation.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rates primarily as a result of our various state income tax apportionment factors, equity compensation, and the recording of a valuation allowance.
Our net taxable income must be apportioned to various states based upon the income tax laws of the states in which we derive our revenue. Our NOL carryforwards will not always be available to offset taxable income apportioned to the various states. The states from which our refining, retail, and logistics revenues are derived are not the same states in which our NOLs were incurred; therefore, we expect to incur state tax liabilities in connection with our refining, retail, and logistics operations.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a growing energy company based in Houston, Texas, that provides both renewable and conventional fuels to the western United States. For more information, please read Note 1—Overview to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Recent Events Affecting Comparability of Periods
Crude oil pricing increased in the first half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023. Brent crude oil pricing averaged $85.03 per barrel in the first half of 2024 compared to $77.73 per barrel in the first half of 2023. Average U.S. retail gasoline prices remained relatively stable from $3.59 per gallon in the first half of 2023 to $3.52 per gallon in the first half of 2024. Refined product crack spreads in the first half of 2024 decreased as compared to the first half of 2023. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) in its June 2024 short term energy outlook forecasts average Brent crude oil pricing of $85 per barrel in the second half of 2024 due to strong global inventory draws in the first half of 2024 driven by less Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) production. In 2023, OPEC announced several voluntary production cuts. Russia announced on February 10, 2023, that it would cut its oil production by 500,000 barrels a day (5% of its output), as a response to imposed sanctions on the country’s oil trade. In June 2023, OPEC extended oil output cuts of 3.66 million barrels a day, or about 5% of daily global demand, until the end of 2024, including a Russian cut in oil exports of 300,000 barrels a day until the end of 2023. In November 2023 OPEC announced additional voluntary production cuts of 1.7 million barrels a day, thus totaling about 2.2 million barrels a day, from January through March 2024. On March 3, 2024, OPEC announced an extension of its November 2023 voluntary production cut through June 2024, driving down supply, as demand increases due to spring and summer travel seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. On June 2, 2024, OPEC agreed to extend the latest cut of 2.2 million barrels a day until the end of September and gradually phase it out from October on a monthly basis. Additionally, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the Red Sea region continued to escalate in the first half of 2024 putting upward pressure on prices. The overall effect of these conflicts and associated actions taken to limit the purchase of Russian petroleum products impacted freight movements and raised the operating costs of many European and other refineries. Energy prices are, among other factors, indicators of inflation. The overall energy price index increased 4.3% year over year as of June 30, 2024. While inflation has worsened relative to the prior year, we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations in the first half of 2024. Please read Item 1A. — Risk Factors on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for further information.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023
Net Income. Our financial results for the second quarter of 2024 declined from net income of $30.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $18.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a $5.5 million increase in interest expense and financing costs, net, a $4.7 million increase in income tax expense, a $2.9 million decrease in our refining segment operating income, a $2.7 million decrease in our logistics segment operating income, a $1.5 million increase in debt extinguishment and commitment costs, and a $1.4 million decrease in equity earnings from Laramie Energy, LLC, partially offset by a $7.4 million decrease in acquisition and integration expenses related to our Billings Acquisition. Please read the discussions of segment and consolidated results below for additional information.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was $81.6 million compared to $150.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $69.2 million decrease was primarily related to a $42.3 million increase in operating expenses and a decrease of $29.0 million in refining segment Adjusted Gross Margin. Please read the discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin by Segment and the Discussion of Consolidated Results below for additional information.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Adjusted Net Income was $28.5 million compared to $105.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decline was primarily related to the factors described above for the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, an increase of $5.0 million in interest expense and financing costs, excluding unrealized interest rate derivative losses (gains), and an increase of $3.9 million of D&A, partially offset by a cash distribution of $1.5 million received from Laramie Energy, LLC in the second quarter of 2024.

Six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023
Net Income. Our financial results declined from net income of $267.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was driven by a $243.5 million decrease in refining segment operating income, a $22.5 million increase in general and administrative expenses, and a $1.6 million decrease in retail segment operating income, partially offset by a $12.5 million decrease in acquisitions and integration expenses related to our Billings Acquisition and a $5.1 million increase in logistics segment operating income. Please read the discussions of segment and consolidated results below for additional information.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was $176.3 million compared to $318.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $142.2 million decrease was primarily related to a $112.3 million increase in operating expenses and a decrease of $33.5 million in our refining segment Adjusted Gross Margin. Please read the discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin by Segment and the Discussion of Consolidated Results below for additional information.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Adjusted Net Income was $70.2 million compared to $242.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decline was primarily related to the same factors described above for the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, an increase of $12.2 million of D&A, a decrease of $9.2 million of cash distributions received from Laramie Energy, LLC, and an increase of $7.5 million of interest expense and financing costs, excluding unrealized interest rate derivative losses (gains) .

________________________________________________________
(1)Feedstocks throughput and sales volumes per day for the Montana refinery for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are calculated based on the 30-day period for which we owned the Montana refinery during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. As such, the amounts for the total refining segment represent the sum of the Hawaii, Washington, and Wyoming refineries’ throughput or sales volumes averaged over the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, plus the Montana refinery’s throughput or sales volumes averaged over the period from June 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023. The 2024 amounts for the total refining segment represent the sum of the Hawaii, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming refineries’ throughput or sales volumes averaged over the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
(2)We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel by dividing Adjusted Gross Margin by total refining throughput. Adjusted Gross Margin for our Washington refinery is determined under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory costing method. Adjusted Gross Margin for our other refineries is determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory costing method.
(3)Management uses production costs per barrel to evaluate performance and compare efficiency to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate production costs per barrel; different companies within the industry calculate it in different ways. We calculate production costs per barrel by dividing all direct production costs, which include the costs to run the refineries including personnel costs, repair and maintenance costs, insurance, utilities, and other miscellaneous costs, by total refining throughput. Our production costs are included in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, which also includes costs related to our bulk marketing operations and severance costs.
(4)We believe the 3-1-2 Singapore Crack Spread (or three barrels of Brent crude oil converted into one barrel of gasoline and two barrels of distillates (diesel and jet fuel)) is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Hawaii.
(5)We believe the RVO Adjusted Pacific Northwest 3-1-1-1 (or three barrels of WTI crude oil converted into one barrel of Pacific Northwest gasoline, one barrel of Pacific Northwest ULSD and one barrel of USGC VGO, less 100% of the RVO cost for gasoline and ULSD) is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Washington.
(6)We believe the RVO Adjusted USGC 3-2-1 (or three barrels of WTI crude oil converted into two barrels of USGC gasoline and one barrel of USGC ULSD, less 100% of the RVO cost) is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Montana and Wyoming.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are considered non-GAAP financial measures. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies since each company may define these terms differently.
We believe Adjusted Gross Margin (as defined below) provides useful information to investors because it eliminates the gross impact of volatile commodity prices and adjusts for certain non-cash items and timing differences created by our inventory financing agreements and lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to demonstrate the earnings potential of the business before other fixed and variable costs, which are reported separately in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) and Depreciation and amortization. Management uses Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel to evaluate operating performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry and to industry benchmarks. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) are useful supplemental financial measures that allow investors to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis, the ability of our assets to generate cash to pay interest on our indebtedness, and our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure.
36
Beginning with financial results reported for the second quarter of 2023, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude our portion of interest, taxes, and depreciation expense from our refining and logistics investments acquired on June 1, 2023, as part of the Billings Acquisition.
Beginning with financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2023, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA excludes all hedge losses (gains) associated with our Washington ending inventory and LIFO layer increment impacts associated with our Washington inventory. In addition, we have modified our environmental obligation mark-to-market adjustment to include only the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net RINs liability and net obligation associated with the Washington Climate Commitment Act (“Washington CCA”) and Clean Fuel Standard. This modification was made as part of our change in how we estimate our environmental obligation liabilities.
Beginning with financial results reported for the fourth quarter of 2023, Adjusted Net Income (loss) excludes unrealized interest rate derivative losses (gains) and all Laramie Energy related impacts with the exception of cash distributions. We have recast Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for prior periods when reported to conform to the modified presentation.
Beginning with financial results reported for the first quarter of 2024, Adjusted Net Income (loss) also excludes other non-operating income and expenses. This modification improves comparability between periods by excluding income and expenses resulting from non-operating activities.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as operating income (loss) excluding:
•operating expense (excluding depreciation);
•depreciation and amortization (“D&A”);
•Par’s portion of interest, taxes, and depreciation expense from refining and logistics investments;
•impairment expense;
•loss (gain) on sale of assets, net;
•inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase or terminal obligations, hedge losses (gains) associated with our Washington ending inventory and intermediation obligation, purchase price allocation adjustments, and LIFO layer increment and decrement impacts associated with our Washington inventory);
•Environmental obligation mark-to-market adjustment (which represents the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net RINs liability and our net obligation associated with the Washington Climate Commitment Act and Clean Fuel Standard); and
•unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives.

Factors Impacting Segment Results
Operating Income
Three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023
Refining. Operating income for our refining segment was $41.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.9 million compared to operating income of $44.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by lower crack spreads across all the refineries in our legacy portfolio and higher feedstock costs, partially offset by an $11.2 million increase related to a full quarter contribution from the Billings Acquisition and an $8.1 million decrease in environmental costs incurred by our legacy refinery portfolio. Please read the Adjusted Gross Margin discussion below for additional information.
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $18.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.7 million compared to $20.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $3.7 million in third-party contracts and vessel revenue, partially offset by a decrease in vessel and fuel costs of $1.3 million.
Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $16.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $0.9 million compared to $15.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in fuel margins, and increased merchandise sales of $0.8 million, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in operating expenses driven by higher employee costs.
Six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023
Refining. Operating income for our refining segment was $63.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $243.5 million compared to $307.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by:
• | a decrease of $221.0 million related to lower crack spreads at our refineries in our legacy portfolio and | |||||||||||||||||||
• | an increase of $124.3 million in consolidated environmental costs across all our refineries in our legacy portfolio, primarily associated with RIN settlement gains recorded in 2023 with no similar gains in 2024. | |||||||||||||||||||
partially offset by:
• | an increase of $98.8 million related to favorable changes in crude oil differentials at our refineries in our legacy portfolio. | |||||||||||||||||||
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $38.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $5.1 million compared to $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $7.3 million increase in contribution from the Billings Acquisition logistics assets acquired in June 2023 partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in third-party contracts for our logistics services. Our legacy logistics portfolio consists of our logistics assets, excluding logistics assets from the Billings Acquisition.
Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $1.6 million compared to $28.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to higher operating expenses of $3.8 million driven by an increase in employee costs, partially offset by increased merchandise sales of $1.8 million, and a $0.5 million increase related to 6% higher fuel sales volumes in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was $30.8 million, an increase of $1.2 million compared to $29.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in contribution from the Billings Acquisition logistics assets acquired in June 2023, partially offset by a decrease of $1.8 million driven by a 3% reduction in Hawaii throughput.
Retail. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was $41.6 million, an increase of $2.4 million compared to $39.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to 9% higher merchandise sales margins and 4% higher fuel sales volumes in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the comparable period in 2023.
Six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023
Refining. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our refining Adjusted Gross Margin was $383.7 million, a decrease of $33.5 million compared to $417.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a $157.3 million decline due to lower crack spreads, and a $27.0 million decrease related to a 5% decline in refined product sales volumes primarily from our Hawaii and Washington refineries, partially offset by increased Adjusted Gross Margin contributed by the Montana refinery of $66.6 million, $44.0 million lower purchased product expenses, $22.1 million benefit due to favorable derivative activities, and $12.7 million lower environmental expenses. Other factors impacting refining results are described below.
•Adjusted Gross Margin for the Hawaii refinery declined by $3.39 per barrel from $15.41 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $12.02 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2024, inclusive of 10 days of reduced production for required maintenance in March 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower crack spreads, and a 4.4% decrease in sales volumes, partially offset by $44.0 million decrease of purchased product costs. The Singapore 3-2-1 index declined from $17.45 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $15.58 in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
•Adjusted Gross Margin for the Wyoming refinery decreased by $9.22 from $24.05 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $14.83 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to lower regional crack spreads and higher environmental expenses, partially offset by a 7% increase in refined product sales volumes, a favorable FIFO impact of $9.0 million, and an $8.0 million decline in feedstock costs. The RVO Adjusted USGC 3-2-1 index declined from $24.09 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $19.63 in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Logistics. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was $62.7 million, an increase of $12.1 million compared to $50.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $14.2 million increased contribution from the Billings Acquisition logistics assets acquired in June 2023 partially offset by an increase in cost of sales driven by $1.3 million of higher fees and variable expenses.
Retail. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was $78.7 million, an increase of $2.1 million compared to $76.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a 2% increase in merchandise sales. Other factors impacting results include a 6% increase in fuel sales volumes and a 34% decrease in fuel margins.
Discussion of Consolidated Results
Three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023
Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenues were $2.0 billion, a $0.2 billion increase compared to $1.8 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $0.3 billion increased contribution from the Billings Acquisition, which closed June 1, 2023, and $0.1 billion due to higher crude oil prices discussed below, partially offset by a 4% decrease in refining sales volumes primarily driven by our Hawaii and Washington refinery operations during the quarter and a decrease in average product crack spreads also discussed below. Average WTI crude oil prices increased 10% and average Brent crude oil prices increased 9% as compared to the prior period. The RVO Adjusted USGC 3-2-1, RVO Adjusted Pacific Northwest 3-1-1-1, and 3-1-2 Singapore Crack Spread declined 17%, 10%, and 9%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Please read our key operating statistics for further information. Revenues at our retail segment increased $4.4 million primarily due to a 4% increase in fuel sales volumes.
Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation). For the three months ended June 30, 2024, cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) was $1.8 billion, an increase of $0.2 billion when compared to $1.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a $0.3 billion increased contribution from the Billings Acquisition due to a full quarter under our ownership and higher crude oil prices, partially offset by decreases due to lower refining sales volumes, as discussed above, and lower environmental expenses.
Operating Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the three months ended June 30, 2024, operating expense (excluding depreciation) was $144.1 million, a $42.3 million increase when compared to $101.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The increase was primarily driven by the $5.0 million of D&A attributable to the Billings Acquisition, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in D&A from our Hawaii Refinery primarily driven by assets that became fully depreciated in the second half of 2023, partially offset by cogeneration equipment in Hawaii and other assets placed into service during the period.
General and Administrative Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the three months ended June 30, 2024, general and administrative expense (excluding depreciation) was $23.2 million, consistent with $23.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Interest Expense and Financing Costs, Net. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our interest expense and financing costs were $20.4 million, an increase of $5.5 million compared to $14.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $5.6 million increase in debt costs, mainly driven by higher interest expenses due to higher ABL Credit Facility balances in 2024 to fund certain inventory purchases at our Hawaii refinery and Washington refinery and a $4.0 million decrease in interest income from our investment accounts. The increase was partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in inventory financing costs due to the termination of the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement in the fourth quarter of 2023, and termination of our Supply and Offtake Agreement in the second quarter of 2024. Please read Note 9—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 11—Debt for further information.
Debt Extinguishment and Commitment Costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred $1.4 million of debt extinguishment and commitment costs related to the repricing of our Term Loan Credit Agreement, the termination of our LC Facility and the expiration of our Supply and Offtake Agreement in the second quarter of 2024.

Income Taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, income tax expense was $6.7 million, an increase of $4.7 million compared to $1.9 million for three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily related to higher apportionment factors in the states in which we pay taxes.

Revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenues were $4.0 billion, a $0.5 billion increase compared to $3.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

When comparing our legacy refining operations, there were decreases of $0.2 billion in third-party revenues at our refining segment, $0.2 billion related to lower average crack spreads and $0.1 billion related to a 5% decrease in sales volumes primarily from our Hawaii and Washington refineries, partially offset by a $0.1 billion increase due to higher crude oil prices. The RVO Adjusted USGC 3-2-1, RVO Adjusted Pacific Northwest 3-1-1-1, and 3-1-2 Singapore Crack Spread declined 19%, 15%, and 11%, respectively, compared to 2023. Average WTI crude oil prices increased 5% and average Brent crude oil prices increased 4% as compared to the prior period. Revenues at our retail segment increased $9.0 million primarily due to a 6% increase in fuel sales volumes and a $1.2 million increase in merchandise revenue, partially offset by a 3% decrease in fuel prices.
Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation). For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) was $3.5 billion, a $0.7 billion increase compared to $2.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily driven by a $0.7 billion contribution from the Billings Acquisition.

43
of $5.8 million in payroll expenses due to an increase in employee headcount, a $3.1 million increase in IT expenses, and $2.5 million of expenses related to development of our renewable projects.

Consolidating Condensed Financial Information
On February 28, 2023, Par Petroleum, LLC (“Par Borrower”) entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) due 2030 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Term Loan Credit Agreement was co-issued by Par Petroleum Finance Corp. (together with the Par Borrower, the “Term Loan Borrowers”), which has no independent assets or operations. The Term Loan Credit Agreement is guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis only as to payment of principal and interest by Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (the “Parent”) and is guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of the subsidiaries of Par Borrower. The Term Loan Credit Agreement proceeds were used to refinance our existing Term Loan B Facility and repurchase our outstanding 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, all three of which had similar guarantees that were replaced by those on the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial information reflects (i) the Parent’s separate accounts, (ii) Par Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries’ accounts (which are all guarantors of the Term Loan Credit Agreement), (iii) the accounts of subsidiaries of the Parent that are not guarantors of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and consolidating adjustments and eliminations, and (iv) the Parent’s consolidated accounts for the dates and periods indicated. For purposes of the following condensed consolidating information, the Parent’s investment in its subsidiaries is accounted for under the equity method of accounting (dollar amounts in thousands).

________________________________________
(1) The income tax benefit (expense) of the Parent Guarantor and Issuer and Subsidiaries is determined using the separate return method. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and Eliminations column includes tax benefits recognized at the Par consolidated level that are primarily associated with changes to the consolidated valuation allowance and other deferred tax balances.
(2) The acquisition and integration expense related to the Billings Acquisition was pushed down from the Parent Guarantor to the Issuer and Subsidiaries upon consummation of the transaction.

(1)Please read the Non-GAAP Performance Measures and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA discussions above for information regarding the components of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA.
(2)For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred $13.1 million of stock-based compensation expenses associated with accelerated vesting of equity awards and modification of vested equity awards related to our CEO transition and $2.3 million for an estimated legal settlement unrelated to current operating activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital requirements are primarily a function of our debt maturities and debt service requirements and contractual obligations, capital expenditures, turnaround outlays, and working capital needs. Examples of working capital needs include purchases and sales of commodities and associated margin and collateral requirements, facility maintenance costs, and other costs such as payroll. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash on hand, amounts available under our credit agreements, and access to capital markets.
Our liquidity position as of June 30, 2024 was $520.4 million, consisting of $179.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $340.8 million of availability under the ABL Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2024, we had access to the ABL Credit Facility and cash on hand of $179.7 million. Generally, the primary uses of our capital resources have been in the operations of our refining and retail segments, payments related to acquisitions, and to repay or refinance indebtedness.
During the second quarter of 2024 our Supply and Offtake Agreement with J.Aron expired and we entered into an Inventory Intermediation Agreement with Citi. We also early terminated our LC Facility. In the first quarter of 2024, we amended our asset-based loan to permit expanding its capacity from $900 million to $1.4 billion as we planned for the refinancing of our Supply and Offtake Agreement. We believe our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our current capital and turnaround expenditures, working capital, and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. We may seek to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund acquisitions and any other significant changes to our business or to refinance existing debt. We cannot offer any assurances that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or at an acceptable cost.
We may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our common stock through cash purchases, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. The
54
Term Loan Credit Agreement may also require annual prepayments of principal with a variable percentage of our excess cash flow, 50% or 25% depending on our consolidated year end secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement).

The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are largely based on our expectations, which reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions and other factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control, including those set out in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under “Risk Factors.”
In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. All readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance; and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will be realized or that the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to factors described above and under Critical Accounting Estimates and Risk Factors included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. There can be no guarantee that the operational and financial measures the Company has taken, and may take in the future, will be fully effective. We do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Price Risk
Our earnings, cash flows, and liquidity are significantly affected by commodity price volatility. Our Revenues fluctuate with refined product prices and our Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) fluctuates with movements in crude oil and feedstock prices. Assuming all other factors remain constant, a $1 per barrel change in average gross refining margins, based on our throughput for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of 180 Mbpd, would change annualized operating income by approximately $64.7 million. This analysis may differ from actual results.
In order to manage commodity price risks, we utilize exchange-traded futures, OTC options, and OTC swaps associated with:
•the price for which we sell our refined products;
•the price we pay for crude oil and other feedstocks;
•our crude oil and refined products inventory; and
•our fuel requirements for our refineries.
Substantially all of our futures and OTC swaps are executed to economically hedge our physical commodity purchases, sales, and inventory. All our open futures and OTC swaps at June 30, 2024, will settle by April 2025. Based on our net open positions at June 30, 2024, a $1 change in the price of crude oil, assuming all other factors remain constant, would result in a change of approximately $8.3 million to the fair value of these derivative instruments and Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation).
Our predominant variable operating cost is the cost of fuel consumed in the refining process, which is included in Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we consumed approximately 179.8 Mbpd and 180.0 Mbpd, respectively, of crude oil during the refining process across all our refineries. We internally consumed approximately 4% of this throughput in the refining process during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which is accounted for as a fuel cost. We have executed option collars to economically hedge our internally consumed fuel cost at all our refineries. Please read Note 12—Derivatives to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
Compliance Program Price Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of RINs required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. Our RVO is based on a percentage of our Hawaii, Wyoming, Washington, and Montana refineries’ production of on-road transportation fuel. The EPA sets the RVO percentages annually. On June 21, 2023, the EPA finalized the 2023, 2024, and 2025 RVOs. To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RVO, we must purchase RINs on the open market. To mitigate the impact of this risk on our results of operations and cash flows, we may purchase RINs when we deem the price of these instruments to be favorable. Some of these contracts are derivative instruments, however, we elect the normal purchases normal sales exception and do not record these contracts at their fair values.
58
Additionally, we are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of compliance credits required to comply with Washington CCA and Clean Fuel Standard. To the extent we are unable to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation fuels we sell in Washington, we must purchase compliance credits at auction or in the open market. The number of credits required to comply with the Washington CCA and Clean Fuel Standard is based on the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation fuels we sell in Washington compared to certain regulatory limits. To mitigate the impact of this risk on our results of operations and cash flows, we may purchase credits when we deem the price to be favorable. Some of these contracts are derivative instruments and recorded at their fair value. Please read Note 12—Derivatives for more information.
Interest Rate Risk
As of June 30, 2024, we had $1,072.6 million in debt principal that was subject to floating interest rates. We also had interest rate exposure in connection with our liabilities under the Inventory Intermediation Agreement for which we pay charges based on the three-month SOFR. An increase of 1% in the variable rate on our indebtedness, after considering the instruments subject to minimum interest rates, would result in an increase to our Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) and Interest expense and financing costs, net, of approximately $1.9 million and $10.7 million per year, respectively. We may utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2024 we had entered into an interest rate collar at a cap of 5.50% and floor of 2.30%, based on the three month SOFR as of the fixing date. This swap expires on May 31, 2026. Please read Note 12—Derivatives for more information.
Credit Risk
We are subject to risk of losses resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our counterparties. We will continue to closely monitor the creditworthiness of customers to whom we grant credit and establish credit limits in accordance with our credit policy.
