PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016
Note 1—Overview
Par Pacific Holdings, Inc.
and its wholly owned subsidiaries ("Par" or the "Company") own, manage, and maintain interests in energy and infrastructure businesses. Currently, we operate in
three
primary business segments:
1)
Refining
- Our refinery in Kapolei, Hawaii, produces ultra-low sulfur diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, marine fuel, and other associated refined products primarily for consumption in Hawaii. Our refinery in
Newcastle, Wyoming
, produces gasoline, ultra-low sulfur diesel, jet fuel, and other associated refined products that are primarily marketed in Wyoming and South Dakota.
2)
Retail
- Our retail outlets sell gasoline, diesel, and retail merchandise throughout the islands of Oahu, Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai. Our retail network includes Hele, Tesoro, and "76" branded retail sites, cardlock stations, company-operated convenience stores, sites operated in cooperation with 7-Eleven, and other sites operated by third parties.
3)
Logistics
- We own and operate terminals, pipelines, a single-point mooring ("SPM"), and trucking operations to distribute refined products throughout the islands of Oahu, Maui, Hawaii, Molokai, and Kauai. In addition, we own and operate a crude oil pipeline gathering system , a refined products pipeline, storage facilities, and loading racks in Wyoming. We also own and operate a jet fuel storage facility and pipeline that serve the Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota.
We own a
42.3%
equity investment in
Laramie Energy, LLC
("
Laramie Energy
"). Laramie Energy is focused on producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado.
Our Corporate and Other reportable segment includes administrative costs, our Texadian operations, and several small non-operated oil and gas interests that were owned by our predecessor. As of December 31, 2016, Texadian has ceased its business operations other than maintaining its fleet of railcars.
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 U.S. ("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. 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, 2016
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, 2016
.
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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no developments to recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, except for the following:
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2017-07,
Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost
("ASU 2017-07"). This ASU requires entities to (1) disaggregate the current-service-cost component from the other components of net
4
PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016
benefit cost (the “other components”) and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if that subtotal is presented. In addition, the ASU requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other components if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines. ASU 2017-07 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any annual period for which an entity’s financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2017-07 should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of cost components in the income statement and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component in assets. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-07 to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Accounting Principles Adopted
On January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU No. 2016-09,
Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
On January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU No. 2016-07,
Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting
("ASU 2016-07"). ASU 2016-07 simplifies the equity method of accounting by eliminating the requirement to retrospectively apply the equity method to an investment that subsequently qualifies for such accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Note 3—Investment in Laramie Energy, LLC
We have a
42.3%
ownership interest in
Laramie Energy
.
Laramie Energy
is focused on producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado. We acquired our equity interest in Laramie Energy as a result of (1) the contribution of certain natural gas and oil interests to Laramie Energy in conjunction with our corporate reorganization in August 2012 and (2) cash contributions of
$27.5 million
in 2015 and
$55.0 million
in 2016.
Laramie Energy
has a
$400 million
revolving credit facility secured by a lien on its natural gas and crude oil properties and related assets with a borrowing base currently set at
$210 million
. As of
March 31, 2017
, the balance outstanding on the revolving credit facility was approximately
$121 million
. We are guarantors of
Laramie Energy
's credit facility, with recourse limited to the pledge of our equity interest of our wholly owned subsidiary, Par Piceance Energy Equity, LLC. Under the terms of its credit facility,
Laramie Energy
is generally prohibited from making future cash distributions to its owners, including us.

Laramie Energy's net
income
for the

March 31, 2017
includes
$13.3 million
of depreciation, depletion, and amortization ("DD&A") and
$24.2 million
of unrealized
gain

loss
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2016
includes
$7.6 million
of DD&A and
$5.9 million
of unrealized
gain
on derivative instruments.
At
March 31, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, our equity in the underlying net assets of
Laramie Energy
exceeded the carrying value of our investment by approximately
$66.5 million
and
$67.8 million
, respectively. This difference arose due to lack of control and marketability discounts and an other-than-temporary impairment of our equity investment in Laramie Energy in 2015. We attributed this difference to natural gas and crude oil properties and are amortizing the difference over
15 years
based on the estimated timing of production of proved reserves.

and revolving loans of

. The consideration was paid with funds received from the issuance of our 2.50% convertible subordinated bridge notes (the "Bridge Notes"), cash on hand, which included the net proceeds from our June 2016 issuance and sale of an aggregate of
$115 million
principal amount of 5.00% convertible senior notes due 2021 (the "
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes
"), and the issuance of a

We accounted for the
WRC 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 the acquisition. We have recorded a preliminary estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and expect to finalize the purchase price allocation during the second quarter of 2017. The primary area of the purchase price allocation that is not yet finalized relates to environmental liabilities.

Note 7—Inventory Financing Agreements
Supply and Offtake Agreements
On June 1, 2015, we entered into several agreements with J. Aron & Company ("J. Aron") to support the operations of our Hawaii refinery (the "Supply and Offtake Agreements"). The Supply and Offtake Agreements have a term of
three
years with
two
one
-year extension options upon mutual agreement of the parties.
During the term of the Supply and Offtake Agreements, we and J. Aron will identify mutually acceptable contracts for the purchase of crude oil from third parties. Per the Supply and Offtake Agreements, J. Aron will provide up to
94 thousand
barrels per day of crude oil to our Hawaii refinery. Additionally, we agreed to sell and J. Aron agreed to buy, at market prices, refined products produced at our Hawaii refinery. We will then repurchase the refined products from J. Aron prior to selling the refined products to our retail operations or to third parties. The agreements also provide for the lease of crude oil and certain refined product storage facilities to J. Aron. Following expiration or termination of the Supply and Offtake Agreements, we are obligated to purchase the crude oil and refined product inventories then owned by J. Aron and located at the leased storage facilities at then-current market prices. Our obligations under the Supply and Offtake Agreements are secured by a security interest on substantially all of the assets of our subsidiary Par Hawaii Refining, LLC ("PHR"), a security interest on the equity interests held by our wholly owned subsidiary, Par Petroleum, LLC, in PHR, and a mortgage whereby PHR granted to J. Aron a lien on all real property and improvements owned by PHR, including our Hawaii refinery.
Though title to the crude oil and certain refined product inventories resides with J. Aron, the Supply and Offtake Agreements are accounted for similar to a product financing arrangement; therefore, the crude oil and refined products inventories will continue to be included on our condensed consolidated balance sheets until processed and sold to a third party. Each reporting period, we record a liability in an amount equal to the amount we expect to pay to repurchase the inventory held by J. Aron based on current market prices.
For the
three months ended
March 31, 2017
and
2016
, we incurred approximately
$3.1 million
and
$1.9 million
, respectively, in handling fees related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, which are included in
Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation)
on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the
three months ended
March 31, 2017
and
2016
,
Interest expense and financing costs, net
on our condensed consolidated statements of operations includes approximately
$0.8 million
and
$0.6 million
, respectively, of expenses related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements.
The Supply and Offtake Agreements also include a deferred payment arrangement ("Deferred Payment Arrangement") whereby we can defer payments owed under the agreements up to the lesser of
$125 million
or
85%
of the eligible accounts receivable and inventory. Upon execution of the Supply and Offtake Agreements, we paid J. Aron a deferral arrangement fee of
$1.3 million
. The deferred amounts under the Deferred Payment Arrangement will bear interest at a rate equal to
90
-day LIBOR plus
3.75%
per annum. We also agreed to pay a deferred payment availability fee equal to
0.75%
of the unused capacity under the Deferred Payment Arrangement. Amounts outstanding under the Deferred Payment Arrangement are included in
Obligations under inventory financing agreements
on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the amount outstanding under the Deferred Payment Arrangement are included within Cash flows from financing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of
March 31, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, the capacity of the Deferred Payment Arrangement was
$55.4 million
and
$59.4 million
, respectively. As of
March 31, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, we had
$41.4 million
and
$43.3 million
outstanding, respectively.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016
Under the Supply and Offtake Agreements, we pay or receive certain fees from J. Aron based on changes in market prices over time. In September 2015, we entered into an agreement to fix this market fee for the period from October 1, 2015 through November 30, 2016 whereby J. Aron agreed to pay us a total of
$18 million
to be settled in
fourteen
equal monthly payments. In February 2016, we fixed the market fee for the remainder of the term of the Supply and Offtake Agreements for an additional
$14.6 million
to be settled in
eighteen
equal monthly payments. The receivable from J. Aron was recorded as a reduction to our Obligations under inventory financing agreements pursuant to our Master Netting Agreement. As of
March 31, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, the
receivable
was
$12.2 million

Guarantors
In connection with our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was filed with the SEC on September 2, 2016 and declared effective on September 16, 2016 (“Registration Statement”), we may sell non-convertible debt securities and other securities in one or more offerings with an aggregate initial offering price of up to
$750 million
. Any non-convertible debt securities issued under the Registration Statement may be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (except for customary release provisions), on a joint and several basis, by some or all of our subsidiaries, other than subsidiaries that are “minor” within the meaning of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). We have no “independent assets or operations” within the meaning of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X and certain of the Guarantor Subsidiaries may be subject to restrictions on their ability to distribute funds to us, whether by cash dividends, loans or advances.
Note 9—Derivatives
Commodity Derivatives
We utilize crude oil commodity derivative contracts to manage our price exposure to our inventory positions, future purchases of crude oil, and future sales of refined products. The derivative contracts that we execute to manage our price risk include exchange traded futures, options, and over-the-counter (“OTC”) swaps. Our futures, options, and OTC swaps are marked-to-market and changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized within
Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation)
on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We are obligated to repurchase the crude oil and refined products from J. Aron at the termination of the Supply and Offtake Agreements. We have determined that this obligation contains an embedded derivative, similar to forward purchase contracts of crude oil and refined products. As such, we have accounted for this embedded derivative at fair value, with changes in the fair value recorded in
Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation)
on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We are also required under the Supply and Offtake Agreements to hedge the time spread between the period of crude oil cargo pricing and the month of delivery. We utilize OTC swaps to accomplish this.
We have entered into forward purchase contracts for crude oil and forward sales contracts of refined products. We elect the
normal purchases normal sales
("NPNS")
exception for all forward contracts that meet the definition of a derivative and are not expected to net settle. Any gains and losses with respect to these forward contracts designated as
NPNS
are not reflected in earnings until the delivery occurs.
We elect to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. Our condensed consolidated balance sheets present derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis. Please read
Note 10—Fair Value Measurements
for the gross fair value and net carrying value of our derivative instruments. Our cash margin that is required as collateral deposits cannot be offset against the fair value of open contracts except in the event of default.
At
March 31, 2017
, our open commodity derivative contracts represent:
•
OTC swap sales of
1.1 million
barrels that economically hedge our crude oil purchases;
•
OTC swap sales of
66 thousand
barrels that economically hedge our refined products inventory;
•
futures purchases of
305 thousand
barrels that economically hedge our sales of refined products; and
•
option collars of
52 thousand
barrels per month through
December 2017
and option collars and OTC swaps of
20 thousand
barrels per month through
December 2018
that economically hedge our internally consumed fuel.
Interest Rate Derivatives
We are exposed to interest rate volatility in our outstanding debt and in the Supply and Offtake Agreements. We utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk. As of
March 31, 2017
, we had locked in an average fixed rate of
1.1%
in exchange for a floating interest rate indexed to the three-month LIBOR on an aggregate notional amount of
$200 million
. The interest rate swaps mature in February 2019 and March 2021.
Our
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes
include a redemption option and a related make-whole premium which represent an embedded derivative that is not clearly and closely related to the
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes
. As such, we have accounted for this embedded derivative at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded in
Interest expense and financing costs, net
on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of
March 31, 2017
, this embedded derivative was deemed to have a
de minimis
fair value.

Derivative Instruments
We utilize crude oil commodity derivative contracts to manage our price exposure to our inventory positions, future purchases of crude oil, and future sales of refined products. We utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk.
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 commodity 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

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016
unobservable inputs that are not supported by sufficient market activity. The valuation of our J.Aron repurchase obligation derivative requires that we make estimates of the prices and differentials assuming settlement at the end of the reporting period; therefore, it is classified as a Level 3 instrument. We do not have other commodity derivatives classified as Level 3 at

The fair values of these instruments are considered Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy with the exception of the fair value measurement of the
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes
which is considered a Level 2 measurement as discussed below.
(2)
Fair value approximates carrying value due to the debt's floating rate interest which approximates current market value.
(3)
The carrying value of the
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes
excludes the fair value of the equity component, which was classified as equity upon issuance.
We estimate the fair value of the Term Loan using a discounted cash flow analysis and an estimate of the current yield of
9.48%
and
11.06%
as of
March 31, 2017
and
December 31, 2016
, respectively, by reference to market interest rates for term debt of comparable companies.
The fair value of the
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes
was determined by aggregating the fair value of the liability and equity components of the notes. The fair value of the liability component of the
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes
was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis in which the projected interest and principal payments were discounted at an estimated market yield for a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The equity component was estimated based on the Black-Scholes model for a call option with strike price equal to the conversion price, a term matching the remaining life of the
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes
, and an implied volatility based on market values of options outstanding as of
March 31, 2017
. The fair value of the
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes
is considered a Level 2 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.

For the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016
The fair value of all non-derivative financial instruments included 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.
Note 11—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.
Tesoro Earnout Dispute
On June 17, 2013, a wholly owned subsidiary of Par entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Tesoro Corporation ("Tesoro") pursuant to which it purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Tesoro Hawaii, LLC, an entity that was renamed Hawaii Independent Energy, LLC, and thereafter renamed Par Hawaii Refining, LLC. The cash consideration for the acquisition is subject to an earnout provision during the years 2014-2016. Tesoro has disputed our calculation of the 2015 and 2016 earnout amounts. We are currently evaluating Tesoro's claim. If we and Tesoro are unable to agree on the calculation of the 2015 and 2016 earnout amounts, the dispute will be submitted to a mutually acceptable independent accounting firm to be engaged by the parties, as arbiter, to determine the amount owed, if any.
Mid Pac Earnout and Indemnity Dispute
Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 3, 2011 and amended October 25, 2011 (the “SPA”), Mid Pac Petroleum, LLC ("Mid Pac") purchased all the issued and outstanding stock of Inter Island Petroleum, Inc. (“Inter Island”) from Brian J. and Wendy Barbata (collectively, the “Barbatas”). The SPA provides for an earnout payment to be made to the Barbatas in an amount equal to
four
times the amount by which the average of Inter Island’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization during the relevant earnout period exceeds
$3.5 million
. The earnout payment is capped at a maximum of
$4.5 million
. Mid Pac contends that there are no amounts owed to the Barbatas for the earnout period. By letter dated May 29, 2014, the Barbatas disputed Mid Pac’s computation of the earnout, without explanation of the amount they claim to be owed or refutation of Mid Pac’s analysis. Mid Pac intends to vigorously oppose any such claims.
Any claims by the Barbatas may be offset by Mid Pac’s claims for indemnification under the SPA. By letters dated December 31, 2013 and April 25, 2014, Mid Pac has asserted indemnification claims against the Barbatas exceeding
$1 million
with respect to environmental losses arising from certain terminals operated by Inter Island and its subsidiaries. The Barbatas have disputed such claims. Arbitration for the earnout and indemnification claims is scheduled to commence on April 2, 2018.
United Steelworkers Union Dispute
A portion of our employees at the Hawaii refinery are represented by the United Steelworkers Union (“USW”). On March 23, 2015, the union ratified a four-year extension of the collective bargaining agreement. On January 13, 2016, the USW filed a claim against PHR before the United States National Labor Relations Board (the “NLRB”) alleging a refusal to bargain collectively and in good faith. On March 29, 2016, the NLRB deferred final determination on the USW charge to the grievance/arbitration process under the extant collective bargaining agreement. Arbitration has not yet been scheduled. PHR denies the USW’s allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself in connection with such claim in the grievance/arbitration process and any subsequent proceeding before the NLRB.
Environmental Matters
Like other petroleum refiners and exploration and production companies, our operations are subject to extensive and periodically-changing federal and state environmental 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. We intend to respond in a timely manner to all such communications and to take appropriate corrective action. 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.
Wyoming refinery
Our Wyoming refinery is subject to a number of consent decrees, orders, and settlement agreements involving the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
("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 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. Based on current information, however, preliminary estimates we have received for the well-understood components of these efforts suggest total response costs of approximately
$18.0 million
, approximately
one-third
of which we expect to incur in the next
5 years
, with the remainder being 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 preliminary information, reasonable estimates we have received suggest costs of approximately
$0.5 million
to modify or close the existing wastewater treatment ponds and 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 appears to be declining over time, Wyoming Refining may become subject to new penalty enforcement action in the next several years, which could involve penalties in excess of
$100,000
. Moreover, in addition to the issues associated with the Wyoming refinery, certain product pipeline assets were acquired in the
WRC Acquisition
. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration (“PHMSA”) recently conducted an integrated inspection of the products pipeline with additional follow-up regarding integrity management planning and general operations and maintenance. Based on preliminary discussions with PHMSA following this inspection, the Wyoming refinery anticipates a civil penalty in excess of
$100,000
. In connection with our acquisition of, and commencement of operations at, the Wyoming refinery, findings of a past failure to comply with applicable environmental or pipeline safety laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil, and criminal enforcement measures, including the assessment of monetary penalties that could be in excess of
$100,000
, the imposition of investigatory, remedial, or corrective actions and the issuance of orders enjoining future operations or imposing additional compliance requirements on such operations.
Regulation of Greenhouse Gases
The
EPA
regulates greenhouse gases ("GHG") under the federal Clean Air Act ("CAA"). New construction or material expansions that meet certain GHG emissions thresholds will likely require that, among other things, a GHG permit be issued in accordance with the federal CAA regulations and we will be required, in connection with such permitting, to undertake a technology review to determine appropriate controls to be implemented with the project in order to reduce GHG emissions.
Furthermore, the
EPA
is currently developing refinery-specific GHG regulations and performance standards that are expected to impose GHG emission limits and/or technology requirements. These control requirements may affect a wide range of refinery operations. Any such controls could result in material increased compliance costs, additional operating restrictions for our business, and an increase in the cost of the products we produce, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
On September 29, 2015, the
EPA
announced a final rule updating standards that control toxic air emissions from petroleum refineries, addressing, among other things, flaring operations, fenceline air quality monitoring, and additional emission reductions from storage tanks and delayed coking units. Affected existing sources will be required to comply with the new requirements no later than 2018, with certain refiners required to comply earlier depending on the relevant provision and refinery construction date. We do not anticipate that compliance with this rule will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In 2007, the State of Hawaii passed Act 234, which required that GHG emissions be rolled back on a statewide basis to 1990 levels by the year 2020. Although delayed, the Hawaii Department of Health has issued regulations that would require each major facility to reduce CO
2
emissions by
16%
by 2020 relative to a calendar year 2010 baseline (the first year in which GHG emissions were reported to the
EPA
under 40 CFR Part 98). Those rules are pending final approval by the Government of Hawaii. The Hawaii refinery’s capacity to reduce fuel use and GHG emissions is limited. However, the state’s pending regulation allows, and the Hawaii refinery expects to be able to demonstrate, that additional reductions are not cost-effective or necessary in light of the state’s current GHG inventory and future year projections. The pending regulation allows for “partnering” with other facilities
13
PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016
(principally power plants) which have already dramatically reduced greenhouse emissions or are on schedule to reduce CO
2
emissions in order to comply with the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standards.
Fuel Standards
In 2007, the U.S. Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (the "EISA") that, among other things, set a target fuel economy standard of
35
miles per gallon for the combined fleet of cars and light trucks in the U.S. by model year 2020 and contained a second Renewable Fuel Standard (the “RFS2”). In August 2012, the
EPA
and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration jointly adopted regulations that establish an average industry fuel economy of
54.5
miles per gallon by model year 2025. The RFS2 requires an increasing amount of renewable fuel usage, up to
36 billion
gallons by 2022. In the near term, the RFS2 will be satisfied primarily with fuel ethanol blended into gasoline. The RFS2 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 credits 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.
In October 2010, the
EPA
issued a partial waiver decision under the Clean Air Act to allow for an increase in the amount of ethanol permitted to be blended into gasoline from
10%
(“E10”) to
15%
(“E15”) for 2007 and newer light duty motor vehicles. In January 2011, the
EPA
issued a second waiver for the use of E15 in vehicles model years 2001- 2006. There are numerous issues, including state and federal regulatory issues, which need to be addressed before E15 can be marketed on a large scale for use in traditional gasoline engines. Consequently, unless either the state or federal regulations are revised,
Renewable Identification Numbers
("RINs")
will be required to fulfill the federal mandate for renewable fuels.
In March 2014, the
EPA
published a final Tier 3 gasoline standard that lowers the allowable sulfur level in gasoline to 10 parts per million ("ppm") and also lowers the allowable benzene, aromatics and olefins content of gasoline, with the most recent rulemaking addressing certain technical corrections and clarifications effective June 21, 2016. The effective date for the new standard was January 1, 2017; however, approved small volume refineries have until January 1, 2020 to meet the standard. Our Hawaii refinery is required to comply with Tier 3 gasoline standards within 30 months of June 21, 2016, the date our Hawaii refinery was disqualified from small volume refinery status. On March 19, 2015, the EPA confirmed the small volume refinery status of our Wyoming refinery.
There will be compliance costs and uncertainties regarding how we will comply with the various requirements contained in the EISA and other fuel-related regulations. Along with credit and trading options, potential capital upgrades for the Hawaii and Wyoming refineries are being evaluated. We may also 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.
Environmental Agreement
On
September 25, 2013
, Par Petroleum, LLC (formerly Hawaii Pacific Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Par created for purposes of the PHR acquisition), Tesoro and
PHR
entered into an Environmental Agreement (“Environmental Agreement”), which allocated responsibility for known and contingent environmental liabilities related to the acquisition of
PHR
, including the Consent Decree as described below.
Consent Decree
On July 18, 2016, PHR and subsidiaries of Tesoro entered into a consent decree with the EPA, the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and other state governmental authorities concerning alleged violations of the federal CAA related to the ownership and operation of multiple facilities owned or formerly owned by Tesoro and its affiliates ("Consent Decree"), including our Hawaii refinery. As a result of the Consent Decree, PHR expanded its previously-announced 2016 Hawaii refinery turnaround to undertake additional capital improvements to reduce emissions of air pollutants and to provide for certain nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emission controls and monitoring required by the Consent Decree. Although the turnaround was completed during the third quarter of 2016, work related to the Consent Decree is ongoing. This work subjects us to risks associated with engineering, procurement, and construction of improvements and repairs to our facilities and related penalties and fines to the extent applicable deadlines under the Consent Decree are not satisfied, as well as risks related to the performance of equipment required by, or affected by, the Consent Decree. Each of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
We estimate the cost of compliance with the Consent Decree to be approximately
$30 million
. However, Tesoro is responsible under the Environmental Agreement for reimbursing PHR for all reasonable third-party capital expenditures incurred pursuant to the Consent Decree to the extent related to acts or omissions prior to the date of the closing of the PHR acquisition. Tesoro is obligated to pay all applicable fines and penalties related to the Consent Decree.

are presented within
Capital expenditures
on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the related periods.
Indemnification
In addition to its obligation to reimburse us for capital expenditures incurred pursuant to the Consent Decree, Tesoro agreed to indemnify us for claims and losses arising out of related breaches of Tesoro’s representations, warranties, and covenants in the Environmental Agreement, certain defined “corrective actions” relating to pre-existing environmental conditions, third-party claims arising under environmental laws for personal injury or property damage arising out of or relating to releases of hazardous materials that occurred prior to the date of the closing of the PHR acquisition, any fine, penalty, or other cost assessed by a governmental authority in connection with violations of environmental laws by
PHR
prior to the date of the closing of the PHR acquisition, certain groundwater remediation work, fines, or penalties imposed on
PHR
by the Consent Decree related to acts or omissions of Tesoro prior to the date of the closing of the PHR acquisition and claims and losses related to the Pearl City Superfund Site.
Tesoro’s indemnification obligations are subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Environmental Agreement. These limitations include a deductible of
$1 million
and a cap of
$15 million
for certain of Tesoro’s indemnification obligations related to certain pre-existing conditions, as well as certain restrictions regarding the time limits for submitting notice and supporting documentation for remediation actions.
Recovery Trusts
We emerged from the reorganization of Delta Petroleum on August 31, 2012 ("Emergence Date") when the plan of reorganization ("Plan") was consummated. On the Emergence Date, we formed the Delta Petroleum General Recovery Trust (“General Trust”). The General Trust was formed to pursue certain litigation against third parties, including preference actions, fraudulent transfer and conveyance actions, rights of setoff and other claims, or causes of action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and other claims and potential claims that the Debtors hold against third parties.
As of
March 31, 2017
,
two
related claims totaling approximately
$22.4 million
remained to be resolved by the trustee for the General Trust and we have reserved approximately
$0.5 million
representing the estimated value of claims remaining to be settled which are deemed probable and estimable at period end.
One of the two remaining claims was filed by the U.S. Government for approximately
$22.4 million
relating to ongoing litigation concerning a plugging and abandonment obligation in Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Lease OCS-P 0320, comprising part of the Sword Unit in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. The second unliquidated claim, which is related to the same plugging and abandonment obligation, was filed by Noble Energy Inc., the operator and majority interest owner of the Sword Unit. We believe the probability of issuing stock to satisfy the full claim amount is remote, as the obligations upon which such proof of claim is asserted are joint and several among all working interest owners and Delta, our predecessor, only owned an approximate
3.4%
aggregate working interest in the unit.
The settlement of claims is subject to ongoing litigation and we are unable to predict with certainty how many shares will be required to satisfy all claims. Pursuant to the Plan, allowed claims are settled at a ratio of
54.4
shares per $1,000 of claim.

ended
March 31, 2017
, our calculation of dilutive shares outstanding excluded
120 thousand

As discussed in
Note 8—Debt
, we have the option of settling the
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes
in cash or shares of common stock, or any combination thereof, upon conversion. For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
, diluted income (loss) per share was determined using the if-converted method.
Note 15—Income Taxes
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future results of operations, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income, significant book losses during recent prior periods, and projections for future results of operations over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, among other factors, management continues to conclude that we did not meet the “more likely than not” requirement in order to recognize deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance has been recorded for substantially all of our net deferred tax assets at
March 31, 2017
.
During the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
and
2016
, no adjustments were recognized for uncertain tax positions.
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 net operating loss ("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 on the net income of our refining, retail, and logistics operations.

PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016
We will continue to assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets based on consideration of actual and projected operating results and tax planning strategies. Should actual operating results continue to improve, the amount of the deferred tax asset considered more likely than not to be realizable could be increased.

Note 17—Related Party Transactions
Equity Group Investments ("EGI") and Whitebox - Service Agreements
On
September 17, 2013
, we entered into letter agreements (“Services Agreements”) with Equity Group Investments (“EGI”), an affiliate of Zell Credit Opportunities Fund, LP ("ZCOF") and Whitebox, each of which owns
10%
or more of our common stock directly or through affiliates. Pursuant to the Services Agreements, EGI and Whitebox agreed to provide us with ongoing strategic, advisory and consulting services that may include (i) advice on financing structures and our relationship with lenders and bankers, (ii) advice regarding public and private offerings of debt and equity securities, (iii) advice regarding asset dispositions, acquisitions, or other asset management strategies, (iv) advice regarding potential business acquisitions, dispositions, or combinations involving us or our affiliates or (v) such other advice directly related or ancillary to the above strategic, advisory, and consulting services as may be reasonably requested by us.
EGI and Whitebox do not receive a fee for the provision of the strategic, advisory or consulting services set forth in the Services Agreements, but may be periodically reimbursed by us, upon request, for (i) travel and out of pocket expenses, provided that in the event that such expenses exceed
$50 thousand
in the aggregate with respect to any single proposed matter, EGI or Whitebox, as applicable, will obtain our consent prior to incurring additional costs and (ii) provided that we provide prior consent to their engagement with respect to any particular proposed matter, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants and other professionals incurred in connection with EGI’s or Whitebox’s, as applicable, services under the Services Agreements. In consideration of the services provided by EGI and Whitebox under the Services Agreements, we agreed to indemnify each of them for certain losses incurred by them relating to or arising out of the Services Agreements or the services provided thereunder.
The Services Agreements have a term of
one
year and will be automatically extended for successive
one
-year periods unless terminated by either party at least
60
days prior to any extension date. There were no significant costs incurred related to these agreements during the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
or
2016
.
In
October 2015
, we terminated our Services Agreement with Whitebox.
Note 18—Subsequent Events
On
May 8, 2017
, PHR and J. Aron amended the Supply and Offtake Agreements. The amendment, among other things, extended the term of the Supply and Offtake Agreements through
May 31, 2021
, and provided for a
$30 million
forward sale by PHR to J. Aron of jet fuel to be delivered to J. Aron over the amended term of the Supply and Offtake Agreements. The amount of jet fuel to be delivered is essentially fixed at an agreed upon price between the two parties. Under the amendment, PHR is permitted to distribute the
$30 million
proceeds to the Company for general corporate purposes. The Company plans to use the funds for the retirement of existing indebtedness, which currently has a higher cost of capital.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a growth-oriented company based in Houston, Texas, that owns, manages, and maintains interests in energy and infrastructure businesses. We were created through the successful reorganization of Delta Petroleum Corporation ("Delta") in August 2012. The reorganization converted approximately $
265 million
of unsecured debt to equity and allowed us to preserve significant tax attributes.
Our business is organized into
three
primary operating segments:
1)
Refining
- Our refinery in Kapolei, Hawaii, produces ultra-low sulfur diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, marine fuel, and other associated refined products primarily for consumption in Hawaii. Our refinery in
Newcastle, Wyoming
, produces gasoline, ultra-low sulfur diesel, jet fuel, and other associated refined products that are primarily marketed in Wyoming and South Dakota.
2)
Retail
- Our retail outlets sell gasoline, diesel, and retail merchandise throughout the islands of Oahu, Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai. Our retail network includes Hele, Tesoro, and "76" branded retail sites, cardlock stations, company-operated convenience stores, sites operated in cooperation with 7-Eleven, and other sites operated by third parties.
3)
Logistics
- We own and operate terminals, pipelines, a single-point mooring ("SPM"), and trucking operations to distribute refined products throughout the islands of Oahu, Maui, Hawaii, Molokai and Kauai. In addition, we own and
19
operate a crude oil pipeline gathering system , a refined products pipeline, storage facilities, and loading racks in Wyoming. We also own and operate a jet fuel storage facility and pipeline that serve the Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota.
We own a
42.3%
equity investment in
Laramie Energy
. Laramie Energy is focused on producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado.
We have four reportable segments: (i)
Refining
, (ii)
Retail
, (iii)
Logistics
, and (iv) Corporate and Other. Beginning in the third quarter of 2016, the results of operations of
Wyoming Refining
are included in our
refining
and
logistics
segments. As of December 31, 2016, Texadian has ceased its business operations other than maintaining its fleet of railcars. Our Corporate and Other reportable segment now includes administrative costs, our Texadian operations, and several small non-operated oil and gas interests that were owned by our predecessor. Please read
Note 16—Segment Information
to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for detailed information on our operating results by segment.
Results of Operations
Three months ended
March 31, 2017
compared to the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
Net Income (Loss).
During
2017
, our financial performance was primarily driven by improved crack spreads, which is reflected in the change in our net income (loss) from a
net loss
of
$18.7 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
to
net income
of
$27.8 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
. Other factors impacting our results period over period include increases in DD&A and interest expense and financing costs, net, an improvement in our equity earnings (losses) from Laramie and the change in value of our contingent consideration obligation during the first quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss).
For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
, Adjusted EBITDA was
$32.3 million
compared to
$5.4 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
. The change was primarily related to improved crack spreads and the contribution provided by Wyoming Refining during the first quarter of 2017.
For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
, Adjusted Net
Income
was
$20.2 million
compared to
a loss of
$6.5 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
. The change was primarily related to improved crack spreads and the change in value of our contingent consideration during the first quarter of 2016.
The following tables summarize our consolidated results of operations for the

(1)
The profitability of our Hawaii business is heavily influenced by crack spreads in both the Singapore and U.S. West Coast markets. These markets reflect the closest liquid market alternatives to source refined products for Hawaii. We believe the Singapore and Mid Pacific crack spreads (or four barrels of Brent crude oil converted into one barrel of gasoline, two barrels of distillate (diesel and jet fuel) and one barrel of fuel oil) best reflect a market indicator for our Hawaii operations. The Mid Pacific crack spread is calculated using a ratio of 80% Singapore and 20% San Francisco indexes.
(2)
Weighted-average differentials, excluding shipping costs, of a blend of crude oils with an API of 31.98 and sulfur weight percentage of 0.65% that is indicative of our typical crude oil mix quality compared to Brent crude oil.
(3)
Please see discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin below. We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel by dividing Adjusted Gross Margin by total refining throughput.
(4)
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 refinery 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 statement of operations, which also includes costs related to our bulk marketing operations.
(5)
The profitability of our Wyoming refinery is heavily influenced by crack spreads in nearby markets. We believe the Wyoming 3-2-1 Index is the best market indicator for our operations in Wyoming. The Wyoming 3-2-1 Index is computed by taking two parts gasoline and one part distillate (ULSD) as created from three barrels of West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil. Pricing is based 50% on applicable product pricing in Rapid City, South Dakota, and 50% on applicable product pricing in Denver, Colorado.

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 a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as (i) operating income (loss) plus operating expense (excluding depreciation), depreciation, depletion, and amortization, inventory valuation adjustments (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 obligation, and purchase price allocation adjustments), and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives or (ii) revenues less cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) less inventory valuation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives. We define cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) as 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 RINS obligations, and certain hydrocarbon fees and taxes. Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) also includes the unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and inventory valuation adjustments that we exclude from Adjusted Gross Margin.
Management believes Adjusted Gross Margin is an important measure of operating performance and uses Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel to evaluate operating performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry and to industry benchmarks. Management believes Adjusted Gross Margin 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 or 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, depletion, and amortization
.
Adjusted Gross Margin should not be considered an alternative to operating income (loss), net cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Gross Margin presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation since each company may define this term differently as they may include other manufacturing costs and depreciation expense in cost of revenues.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, operating income (loss), on a historical basis, for selected segments, for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding changes in the value of contingent consideration and common stock warrants, acquisition and integration expense, unrealized (gains) losses on derivatives, and inventory valuation adjustment. Beginning with the first quarter of 2017, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) also excludes severance costs. We have recast the non-GAAP information for the three months ended
March 31, 2016
to conform with the current period presentation.
Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excluding interest and financing costs, taxes, DD&A, and equity losses (earnings) from Laramie Energy. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA 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.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows provided by operating, investing, and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation as other companies may define these terms differently.

Factors Impacting Segment Results
Three months ended
March 31, 2017
compared to the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
Refining.
Operating
income
for our refining segment was
$27.4 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
,
an increase
of
$45.7 million
compared to operating
loss
of
$18.3 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
. The
increase
in profitability was primarily driven by higher crack spreads. The 4-1-2-1 Mid Pacific crack spread
increased
72%
from
$4.48
per barrel for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
to
$7.69
per barrel for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
. The increase in crack spreads was partially offset by decreased crude oil differentials. The Mid Pacific crude oil differential
decreased
42%
from
$2.10
per barrel for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
to
$1.21
per barrel for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
. Wyoming Refining contributed
a loss
of approximately
$0.3 million
to operating
income
for the refining segment for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
.
Logistics.
Operating
income
for our logistics segment was
$9.4 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
,
an increase
of
$4.3 million
compared to operating
income
of
$5.1 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
. The
increase
in profitability is primarily due to higher transportation and logistics services revenue, and
an increase
in pipeline throughput in Hawaii from
150.7
Mbpd for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
to
152.1
Mbpd for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
. Wyoming Refining contributed approximately
$1.5 million
of operating income to the logistics segment for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
.
Retail.
Operating
income
for our retail segment was
$6.1 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
,
a decrease
of
$0.8 million
compared to operating
income
of
$6.9 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
. The
decrease
was driven by a
21%
increase
in fuel costs. This
increase
in fuel costs was partially offset by
an increase
of
17%
in sales prices.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Three months ended

Refining.
For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
, our refining Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately
$61.0 million
,
an increase
of
$28.8 million
compared to
$32.2 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
. The
increase
was primarily due to improved crack spreads and the acquisition of
Wyoming Refining
. The 4-1-2-1 Mid Pacific crack spread
increased
72%
from
$4.48
per barrel for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
to
$7.69
per barrel for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
. The
increase
in crack spreads was partially offset by the change in crude oil differentials. The Mid Pacific crude oil differential
decreased
42%
from
$2.10
per barrel for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
to
$1.21
per barrel for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
. Wyoming Refining contributed approximately
$12.2 million
of Adjusted Gross Margin to the refining segment for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
.
Logistics.
For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately
$14.7 million
,
an increase
of
$6.7 million
compared to
$8.0 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
. The
increase
was primarily driven by higher transportation and logistics services revenue, and the acquisition of
Wyoming Refining
. Wyoming
26
Refining contributed approximately $4.6 million of Adjusted Gross Margin to the logistics segment for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
.
Retail.
For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was approximately
$17.9 million
,
a decrease
of
$0.7 million
when compared to approximately
$18.6 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
. The
decrease
was driven by a
21%
increase
in fuel costs. This
increase
in fuel costs was partially offset by
an increase
of
17%
in sales prices.

$12.9 million
,
an increase
of
$1.7 million
when compared to
$11.2 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
. The
increase
was primarily due to severance costs incurred during the current quarter.
Acquisition and Integration Expense.
For the
three months

ended
March 31, 2017
, our interest expense and financing costs were approximately
$8.9 million
,
an increase
of
$4.3 million
when compared to
$4.6 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
. The
increase
was primarily due to interest expense and financing costs of approximately $2.5 million associated with our
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes
issued during the second quarter of 2016 and interest expense of
$2.5 million
related to the
Wyoming Refining Credit Facilities
and the
Par Wyoming Holdings Term Loan
, acquired during the third quarter of 2016.
Change in Value of Common Stock Warrants
.
For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
, the change in value of common stock warrants resulted in a
loss
of approximately
$0.7 million
, a change of
$2.3 million
when compared to a
gain
of
$1.6 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
. For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
, our stock price
increased
from
$14.54
per share as of
December 31, 2016
to
$16.49
per share as of
March 31, 2017
, which resulted in
an increase
in the fair value of the common stock warrants. During the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
, our stock price decreased from
$23.54
per share on
December 31, 2015
to
$18.76
per share on
March 31, 2016
which resulted in a decrease in the value of the common stock warrants.
27
Change in Value of Contingent Consideration
.
For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
, there was no change in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability. For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
, the change in value of our contingent consideration liability resulted in a
gain
of
$6.2 million
due to a decrease in our expected cash flows related to PHR for 2016 as a result of lower crack spreads. As of December 31, 2016, the earnout measurement period related to the contingent consideration for the acquisition of PHR is complete. Please read
Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies
for more information.
Equity Earnings (Losses) From Laramie Energy
.
For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
, equity
earnings
from Laramie were approximately
$8.7 million
, a change of
$10.6 million
compared to equity
losses
of
$1.9 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
. The change was primarily due to an increase in natural gas prices and an increase of $9 million in the
gain
on derivative instruments in the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
compared to the same period in
2016
.
Income Taxes.
For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
, we recorded an income tax expense of
$0.6 million
primarily due to alternative minimum tax of $446 thousand. For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
, we recorded income tax expense of
$0.3 million
due to alternative minimum tax of $357 thousand offset by a state tax benefit of $21 thousand. The federal tax benefit or expense related to normal operations is generally offset by changes in the valuation allowance related to our NOL carryforwards.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital requirements are primarily a function of our debt maturities and debt service requirements, fixed capacity payments and contractual obligations, capital expenditures, 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.

Includes HIE Retail, LLC and Mid Pac, which are parties to the
Hawaii Retail Credit Facilities
.
The change in our liquidity position from
March 31, 2017
to
May 5, 2017
was primarily attributable to changes in working capital.
28
As of
March 31, 2017
, we had access to the J. Aron Deferred Payment Arrangement, the
Hawaii Retail Credit Facilities
, a revolving credit facility under the
Wyoming Refining Credit Facilities
, and cash on hand of
$46.2 million
. In addition, we have the Supply and Offtake Agreements with J. Aron, which are used to finance the majority of the inventory at our Hawaii refinery. Generally, the primary uses of our capital resources have been in the operations of our
refining
segment and our
retail
segment, payments related to acquisitions, and cash capital contributions to
Laramie Energy
.
On April 30, 2018, the Wyoming Refining Credit Facilities will mature and all remaining unpaid balances under the Wyoming Refining Senior Secured Term Loan and the Wyoming Refining Senior Secured Revolver will be fully payable. We believe our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our current capital expenditures, working capital, and debt service requirements, including our obligations under the Wyoming Refining Credit Facilities, for the next 12 months.
We may seek to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund 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.
Cash Flows

, which resulted from
net income
of approximately
$27.8 million
, non-cash
charges to
operations of approximately
$6.8 million
and net cash
used for
changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately
$9.6 million
. The change in our operating assets and liabilities for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
is primarily due to an increase in crude oil inventory volumes at our Hawaii refinery as a result of the timing of crude oil deliveries. Net cash
provided by
operating activities was approximately
$12.0 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
, which resulted from
a net loss
of approximately
$18.7 million
, non-cash
charges to
operations of approximately
$4.0 million
and net cash
provided by
changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately
$26.7 million
. The change in our operating assets and liabilities for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
is primarily due to the timing of advances to suppliers for crude oil purchases and an overall decrease in inventory volumes at our Hawaii refinery.
For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
, net cash
used in
investing activities was approximately
$7.6 million
and related to additions to property and equipment. Net cash
used in
investing activities was approximately
$57.2 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
and primarily related to an investment in
Laramie Energy
of $55.0 million in connection with its acquisition of additional natural gas and oil properties.
Net cash
used in
financing activities for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
was approximately
$19.0 million
which consisted primarily of net debt
repayments
of approximately
$16.9 million
and net repayments of the J. Aron deferred payment arrangement of
$1.9 million
. Net cash used in financing activities for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2016
was approximately
$0.8 million
which consisted primarily of net
repayments
of debt of
$5.1 million
and a
$1.1 million
payment related to the financing portion of contingent consideration for the PHR acquisition. These outflows were partially offset by proceeds from the J. Aron deferred payment arrangement of
$5.6 million
.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2017
totaled approximately
$7.6 million
and were primarily related to our retail segment and information technology systems. Our capital expenditure budget for
2017
, including major maintenance costs, ranges from
$42 million
to
$46 million
and primarily relates to profit improvement projects related to our retail business, expansion projects at our Wyoming refinery, and upgrades to our information technology systems.
We also continue to seek strategic investments in business opportunities, but the amount and timing of those investments are not predictable.
29
Commitments and Contingencies
Supply and Offtake Agreements.
On June 1, 2015, we entered into several agreements with J. Aron & Company ("J. Aron") to support the operations of our Hawaii refinery (the "Supply and Offtake Agreements"). The Supply and Offtake Agreements have a term of three years with two one-year extension options upon mutual agreement of the parties. On May 8, 2017 the Supply and Offtake Agreements were amended to, among other things, extend the term through May 31, 2021, and provide for a $30 million forward sale to J. Aron of jet fuel to be delivered over the extended term of the Supply and Offtake Agreements. Please read
Note 7—Inventory Financing Agreements
and
Note 18—Subsequent Events
for more information.
Consent Decree.
On July 18, 2016, PHR and subsidiaries of Tesoro entered into a consent decree with the EPA, the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") 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 Hawaii refinery. As a result of the Consent Decree, PHR expanded its previously-announced 2016 Hawaii refinery turnaround to undertake additional capital improvements to reduce emissions of air pollutants, to provide for certain nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emission controls and monitoring and to install certain leak detection and repair equipment required by the Consent Decree. Although the turnaround was completed during the third quarter of 2016, work related to the Consent Decree is ongoing.
We estimate the cost of compliance with the Consent Decree to be approximately $30 million. However, Tesoro is responsible under the Environmental Agreement for reimbursing PHR for all reasonable third party capital expenditures incurred pursuant to the Consent Decree to the extent related to acts or omissions prior to the date of the closing of the PHR acquisition. Tesoro is obligated to pay all applicable fines and penalties related to the Consent Decree. Please read
Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies
for more information.
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. Please read

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Price Risk
Our earnings, cash flow, 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 of
91 thousand
barrels per day for the first quarter of 2017, would change annualized operating income by approximately
$32.8 million
. This estimate may differ from actual results.
31
In order to manage commodity price risks, we utilize exchange-traded futures, options, and OTC swaps to manage commodity price risks 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 Hawaii refinery.
Our Supply and Offtake Agreements with J. Aron require us to hedge our exposure based on the time spread between the crude oil cargo pricing period and the expected delivery month. We manage this exposure by entering into swaps with J. Aron. Please read
Note 7—Inventory Financing Agreements
for more information.
All of our futures and OTC swaps are executed to economically hedge our physical commodity purchases, sales, and inventory. Our open futures and OTC swaps expire at various dates through December 30, 2018. At
March 31, 2017
, these open commodity derivative contracts represent:
•
OTC swap sales of
1.1 million
barrels that economically hedge our crude oil purchases;
•
OTC swap sales of
66 thousand
barrels that economically hedge our refined products inventory;
•
futures purchases of
305 thousand
barrels that economically hedge our sales of refined products; and
•
option collars of
52 thousand
barrels per month through
December 2017
and option collars and OTC swaps of
20 thousand
barrels per month through
December 2018
that economically hedge our internally consumed fuel.
Based on our net open positions at
March 31, 2017
, a $1 change in the price of crude oil, assuming all other factors remain constant, would result in a change of approximately $831 thousand 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. Assuming normal operating conditions, we consume approximately
91 thousand
barrels per day of crude oil during the refining process at our refineries. We internally consume approximately 3% of this throughput in the refining process, which is accounted for as a fuel cost. We have economically hedged our internally consumed fuel cost at our Hawaii refinery by purchasing option collars and swaps at a rate of
52 thousand
barrels per month through
December 2017
and
20 thousand
barrels per month through
December 2018
. These option collars have a weighted-average strike price ranging from a floor of
$52.92
per barrel to a ceiling of
$60.60
per barrel. The OTC swaps have a weighted-average price of
$46.45
. We do not economically hedge our internally consumed fuel cost at our Wyoming refinery.
Compliance Program Price Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of
Renewable Identification Numbers
("RINs")
required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard, which grants the
EPA
authority to establish our overall
RINs
obligation for each compliance year. We purchase biofuels from third parties and blend those biofuels into our products. For each gallon of biofuel purchased, we receive the associated
RINs
. To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our
RINs
obligation, 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 the price of these instruments is deemed 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.
Interest Rate Risk
As of
March 31, 2017
,
$221.1 million
of outstanding debt was subject to floating interest rates. We also have interest rate exposure in connection with our liability under the J. Aron Supply and Offtake Agreements for which we pay a charge based on 3-month LIBOR. 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 of approximately
$1.9 million
and
$2.5 million
per year, respectively.
We utilize interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, interest rate collars, or other similar contracts to manage our interest rate risk. As of
March 31, 2017
, we had locked in an average fixed rate of
1.1%
in exchange for a floating interest rate indexed to the three-month LIBOR on an aggregate notional amount of
$200 million
. The interest rate swaps mature in February 2019 and March 2021.
32
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.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as of
March 31, 2017
, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Kawaihae Loading Rack
On
October 9, 2014
, Mid Pac received a notice from the EPA alleging that Mid Pac had violated the Clean Air Act at its terminal located in Kawaihae, Hawaii by "failing to equip its loading rack with pollution controls" and by "failing to limit emissions from its loading rack," and advising Mid Pac that the matter had been referred to the DOJ. The DOJ proposed civil penalties of approximately
$700 thousand
. Subsequently, Mid Pac and the DOJ entered into a tolling agreement to facilitate settlement discussions. Mid Pac disputes the EPA's allegations. On
April 1, 2015
, we acquired Mid Pac. Mid Pac, the EPA and the DOJ have agreed to resolve the fines and penalties for
$200 thousand
and, among other things, the installation of a vapor combustion system that we completed during the first quarter of 2017.
Additionally, from time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of our business. Please read
Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies
to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are subject to certain risks. For a discussion of these risks, see "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in tax laws and other policies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
The new presidential administration has called for substantial changes to tax, trade, and other policies, which may include comprehensive tax reform or a border adjustment tax. We cannot predict the impact, if any, of these changes on our business. However, any significant changes to tax, trade, or other policies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
