BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
General
The terms “Valero,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” as used in this report, may refer to Valero Energy Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole.
These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with 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 U.S.
GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Operating results for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2019
.
The balance sheet as of
December 31, 2018
has been derived from our audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to our financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
.
Reclassifications
Effective January 1, 2019, we revised our reportable segments to reflect a new reportable segment — renewable diesel. The renewable diesel segment includes the operations of Diamond Green Diesel Holdings LLC (DGD), our consolidated joint venture as discussed in
Note 8
, which were transferred from the refining segment. Also effective January 1, 2019, we no longer have a VLP segment, and we now include the operations of Valero Energy Partners LP and its consolidated subsidiaries (VLP) in our refining segment. Our prior period segment information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect our current segment presentation. See
Note 2
regarding our merger with VLP, which occurred on January 10, 2019, and
Note 11
for segment information.
Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 presentation.
Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.
Leases
Background
We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842, “Leases,” (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019, as described below in “Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2019.” Accordingly, our lease accounting policy has been revised to reflect the adoption of this standard.
7
Table of Contents
VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Revised Policy
We evaluate if a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. If we determine that a contract is or contains a lease, we recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The present value of the lease payments is determined by using the implicit rate when readily determinable, or if not, our incremental borrowing rate for a term similar to the duration of the lease based on information available at the commencement date. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options.
We recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leasing arrangements with terms greater than one year. Except for the marine transportation asset class, we account for lease and non-lease components in a contract as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. Our marine transportation contracts include non-lease components such as maintenance and crew costs. We allocate the consideration in these contracts based on pricing information provided by the third-party broker.
Expense for an operating lease is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and reflected in the appropriate income statement line item based on the leased asset’s function. Amortization expense of a finance lease ROU asset is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the useful life of the leased asset or the lease term and is reflected in “depreciation and amortization expense.” Interest expense is incurred based on the carrying value of the lease liability and is reflected in “interest and debt expense, net of capitalized interest.”
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2019
Topic 842
As previously noted, we adopted the provisions of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019. Topic 842 increases the transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 supersedes previous lease accounting requirements under FASB ASC Topic 840, “Leases,” (Topic 840). We adopted Topic 842 using the optional transition method that permits us to apply the new disclosure requirements beginning in 2019 and continue to present comparative period information as required under Topic 840; however, we did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption.
In addition, we elected the transition practical expedient package that permits us to not reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs under the new standard, as well as the practical expedient that permits us to not assess existing land easements under the new standard. See “Leases” above for a discussion of our accounting policy affected by our adoption of Topic 842. Also see
Note 4
for information on our leases.
In preparation for the adoption of Topic 842, we enhanced our contracting and lease evaluation systems and related processes, and we developed a new lease accounting system to capture our leases and support the required disclosures. We integrated our lease accounting system with our general ledger and modified our related procurement and payment processes.
Adoption of this standard resulted in (i) the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for our operating leases of
$
1.3
billion
, (ii) the derecognition of existing assets under construction of
$
539
million
related to

a build-to-suit lease arrangement with respect to the MVP Terminal (see
Note 6
under “
Commitments—
MVP Terminal”), and (iii) the presentation of new disclosures about our leasing activities beginning in the first quarter of 2019. Adoption of this standard did not impact our results of operations or liquidity, and our accounting for finance leases is substantially unchanged.
Other
In addition to the adoption of Topic 842 discussed above, we adopted the following Accounting Standards Update (ASU) during the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019

MERGER AND ACQUISITION
Merger with VLP
On January 10, 2019, we completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding publicly held common units of VLP pursuant to a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement, and together with the transactions contemplated thereby, the Merger Transaction) with VLP. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, each outstanding publicly held common unit was converted into the right to receive
$
42.25
per common unit in cash without any interest thereon, and all such publicly traded common units were automatically canceled and ceased to exist. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, we paid aggregate merger consideration of
$
950
million
, which was funded with available cash on hand.
Prior to the completion of the Merger Transaction, we consolidated the financial statements of VLP (see
Note 8
) and reflected noncontrolling interests on our balance sheet for the portion of VLP’s partners’ capital held by VLP’s public common unitholders. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, VLP became our indirect wholly owned subsidiary and, as a result, we no longer reflect noncontrolling interests on our balance
9
Table of Contents
VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
sheet with respect to VLP. In addition, we no longer attribute a portion of VLP’s net income to noncontrolling interests. Because we had a controlling financial interest in VLP before the Merger Transaction and retained our controlling financial interest in VLP after the Merger Transaction, the change in our ownership interest in VLP as a result of the merger was accounted for as an equity transaction. Accordingly, we did not recognize a gain or loss on the Merger Transaction.
Peru Acquisition
On
May 14, 2018
, we acquired
100
percent of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Pure Biofuels del Peru S.A.C. (Pure Biofuels) from Pegasus Capital Advisors L.P. and various minority equity holders. Pure Biofuels markets refined petroleum products through its logistics assets in Peru. This acquisition, which is referred to as the Peru Acquisition, was accounted for as a business acquisition.
We paid
$
466
million
from available cash on hand, of which
$
130
million
was for working capital. During the third and fourth quarters of 2018, we recognized immaterial adjustments to the preliminary amounts recorded for the Peru Acquisition with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill due to the completion of an independent appraisal in the fourth quarter of 2018. The assets acquired and the liabilities assumed were recognized at their acquisition-date fair values, as disclosed in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

LEASES
General
We have entered into long-term leasing arrangements for the right to use various classes of underlying assets as follows:
•
Pipelines, Terminals, and Tanks
includes facilities and equipment used in the storage, transportation, production, and sale of refinery feedstock, refined petroleum product, and corn inventories;
•
Marine Transportation
includes time charters for ocean-going tankers and coastal vessels;
•
Rail Transportation
includes railcars and related storage facilities;
•
Feedstock Processing Equipment
includes machinery, equipment, and various facilities used in our refining, ethanol, and renewable diesel operations;
•
Energy and Gases
includes facilities and equipment related to industrial gases and power used in our operations;
•
Real Estate
includes land and rights-of-way associated with our refineries and pipelines, as well as office facilities; and
•
Other
includes equipment primarily used at our corporate offices, such as printers and copiers.
In addition to fixed lease payments, some arrangements contain provisions for variable lease payments. Certain leases for pipelines, terminals, and tanks provide for variable lease payments based on, among other things, throughput volumes in excess of a base amount. Certain marine transportation leases contain provisions for payments that are contingent on usage. Additionally, if the rental increases are not scheduled in the lease, such as an increase based on subsequent changes in the index or rate, those rents are considered variable lease payments. In all instances, variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

September 30, 2019
.
Concurrent with the formation of MVP, we entered into a terminaling agreement with MVP to utilize the MVP Terminal upon completion of phase two, which is expected to occur in
late 2019
. The terminaling agreement has an initial term of
12
years with
two
five
-year automatic renewals, and year-to-year renewals thereafter.
Prior to our adoption of Topic 842 as described in
Note 1
, we were considered the accounting owner of the MVP Terminal during the construction period due to our membership interest in MVP and because we determined that the terminaling agreement was a capital lease. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2018, we had recorded an asset of
$
539
million
in property, plant, and equipment representing
100
percent of the construction costs incurred by MVP, as well as capitalized interest incurred by us, and a long-term liability of
$
292
million
payable to Magellan. The amounts recorded for the portion of the construction costs associated with the payable to Magellan were noncash investing and financing items, respectively.
On January 1, 2019, as a result of our adoption of Topic 842, we derecognized the asset and liability related to MVP discussed above and recorded our equity investment in MVP of
$
247
million
, which is included in “deferred charges and other assets, net.” The amounts derecognized are noncash investing and financing items, respectively. As of
September 30, 2019
, our equity investment in MVP was
$
362
million
.
Central Texas Pipeline
We committed to a
40
percent undivided interest in a project with a subsidiary of Magellan to jointly build a
135
-mile,
20
-inch refined petroleum products pipeline with a capacity of up to
150,000
barrels per day from Houston to Hearne, Texas. The pipeline was placed in service in the third quarter of 2019. The cost of our
40
percent undivided interest in the pipeline was
$
160
million
, of which
$
65
million
was spent during the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Consolidated VIEs
We consolidate a VIE when we have a variable interest in an entity for which we are the primary beneficiary.
As of
September 30, 2019
, our significant consolidated VIEs included:
•
DGD, a joint venture with a subsidiary of Darling Ingredients Inc., which owns and operates a plant that processes animal fats, used cooking oils, and other vegetable oils into renewable diesel; and
•
Central Mexico Terminals, which is a collective group of three subsidiaries of Infraestructura Energetica Nova, S.A.B. de C.V. (IEnova), a Mexican company and subsidiary of Sempra Energy, a U.S. public company. We have terminaling agreements with Central Mexico Terminals that represent variable interests. We do not have an ownership interest in Central Mexico Terminals.
The VIEs’ assets can only be used to settle their own obligations and the VIEs’ creditors have no recourse to our assets. We do not provide financial guarantees to our VIEs. Although we have provided credit facilities to some of our VIEs in support of their construction or acquisition activities, these transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows are impacted by our consolidated VIEs’ performance, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in each VIE.
The following tables present summarized balance sheet information for the significant assets and liabilities of our VIEs, which are included in our balance sheets (in millions).

____________________
(a)
Prior to the completion of the Merger Transaction with VLP on January 10, 2019 as discussed in
Note 2
, VLP was a publicly traded master limited partnership that we had determined was a VIE. VLP was formed by us to own, operate, develop, and acquire crude oil and refined petroleum products pipelines, terminals, and other transportation and logistics assets. As of December 31, 2018, we owned a
66.2
percent limited partner interest and a
2.0
percent general partner interest in VLP, and public unitholders owned a
31.8
percent limited partner interest. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, VLP became our indirect wholly owned subsidiary and, as a result, was no longer a VIE.
Non-Consolidated VIEs
We hold variable interests in VIEs that have not been consolidated because we are not considered the primary beneficiary. These non-consolidated VIEs are not material to our financial position or results of operations and are accounted for as equity investments.

Remaining Performance Obligations
We have spot and term contracts with customers, the majority of which are spot contracts with no remaining performance obligations. We do not disclose remaining performance obligations for contracts that have terms of one year or less. The transaction price for our remaining term contracts includes a fixed component and variable consideration (i.e., a commodity price), both of which are allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good that forms part of a single performance obligation. The fixed component is not material and the variable consideration is highly uncertain. Therefore, as of
September 30, 2019
, we have not disclosed the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to our remaining performance obligations.
Segment Information
Effective January 1, 2019, we revised our reportable segments to align with certain changes in how our chief operating decision maker manages and allocates resources to our business. Accordingly, we created a new reportable segment — renewable diesel — because of the growing importance of renewable fuels in the market and the growth of our investments in renewable fuels production. The renewable diesel segment includes the operations of DGD, which were transferred from the refining segment on January 1, 2019. Also effective January 1, 2019, we no longer have a VLP segment, and we include the operations of VLP in our refining segment. This change was made because of the Merger Transaction with VLP, as described in
Note 2
, and the resulting change in how we manage VLP’s operations. We no longer manage VLP as a business but as logistics assets that support the operations of our refining segment. Our prior period segment information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect our current segment presentation.
We have
three
reportable segments — refining, ethanol, and renewable diesel. Each segment is a strategic business unit that offers different products and services by employing unique technologies and marketing strategies and whose operations and operating performance are managed and evaluated separately. Operating performance is measured based on the operating income generated by the segment, which includes revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to the management of the respective segment. Intersegment sales are generally derived from transactions made at prevailing market rates. The following is a description of each segment’s business operations.
•
The
refining segment
includes the operations of our
15
petroleum refineries, the associated marketing activities, and logistics assets that support our refining operations. The principal products manufactured by our refineries and sold by this segment include gasolines and blendstocks, distillates, and other products.
•
The
ethanol segment
includes the operations of our
14
ethanol plants, the associated marketing activities, and logistics assets that support our ethanol operations. The principal products manufactured by our ethanol plants are ethanol and distillers grains. This segment sells some ethanol to the refining segment for blending into gasoline, which is sold to that segment’s customers as a finished gasoline product.
•
The
renewable diesel segment
includes the operations of DGD, our consolidated joint venture as discussed in
Note 8
. The principal product manufactured by DGD and sold by this segment is renewable diesel. This segment sells some renewable diesel to the refining segment, which is then sold to that segment’s customers.

A description of our assets and liabilities recognized at fair value along with the valuation methods and inputs we used to develop their fair value measurements are as follows:
•
Commodity derivative contracts consist primarily of exchange-traded futures, which are used to reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows as discussed in
Note 14
. These contracts are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from the commodity exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
•
Physical purchase contracts represent the fair value of fixed-price corn purchase contracts. The fair values of these purchase contracts are measured using a market approach based on quoted prices from the commodity exchange or an independent pricing service and are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
•
Investments of certain benefit plans consist of investment securities held by trusts for the purpose of satisfying a portion of our obligations under certain U.S. nonqualified benefit plans. The plan assets categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from national securities exchanges. The plan assets categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy represent insurance contracts, the fair value of which is provided by the insurer.
29
Table of Contents
VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
•
Foreign currency contracts consist of foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts and foreign currency swap agreements related to our international operations to manage our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than the local (functional) currencies of our operations. These contracts are valued based on quoted foreign currency exchange rates and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
•
Environmental credit obligations represent our liability for the purchase of (i) biofuel credits (primarily Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) in the U.S.) needed to satisfy our obligation to blend biofuels into the products we produce and (ii) emission credits under the
California Global Warming Solutions Act
(the California cap-and-trade system, also known as AB 32) and similar programs (collectively, the cap-and-trade systems). To the degree we are unable to blend biofuels (such as ethanol and biodiesel) at percentages required under the biofuel programs, we must purchase biofuel credits to comply with these programs. Under the cap-and-trade systems, we must purchase emission credits to comply with these systems. The liability for environmental credits is based on our deficit for such credits as of the balance sheet date, if any, after considering any credits acquired or under contract, and is equal to the product of the credits deficit and the market price of these credits as of the balance sheet date. The environmental credit obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using the market approach based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 for assets and liabilities held as of
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
There was no significant activity during the three and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
and
2018
related to the fair value amounts categorized in Level 3 as of
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

no
assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of

PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
General
We are exposed to market risks primarily related to the volatility in the price of commodities, foreign currency exchange rates, and the price of credits needed to comply with various government and regulatory programs. We enter into derivative instruments to manage some of these risks, including derivative instruments related to the various commodities we purchase or produce, and foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts, as described below under
“Risk Management Activities by Type of Risk.”
These derivative instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values (see
Note 13
), as summarized below under
“Fair Values of Derivative Instruments.”
The effect of these derivative instruments on our income is summarized below under
“Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income.”
Risk Management Activities by Type of Risk
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of crude oil, refined petroleum products (primarily gasoline and distillate),
renewable diesel, grain (primarily corn), soybean oil, and natural gas used in our operations. To reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows, we use commodity derivative instruments, such as futures and options. Our positions in commodity derivative instruments are monitored and managed on a daily basis by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy that has been approved by our board of directors.
We primarily use commodity derivative instruments as cash flow hedges and economic hedges. Our objective for entering into each type of hedge is described below.
•
Cash flow hedges
– The objective of our cash flow hedges is to lock in the price of forecasted (i) feedstock, refined petroleum product, or natural gas purchases, or (ii) refined petroleum product or renewable diesel sales at existing market prices that we deem favorable.
•
Economic hedges
– Our objectives for holding economic hedges are to (i) manage price volatility in certain feedstock and refined petroleum product inventories and fixed-price purchase contracts, and (ii) lock in the price of forecasted feedstock, refined petroleum product,
or natural gas purchases, or refined petroleum product or renewable diesel sales at existing market prices that we deem favorable.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
As of
September 30, 2019
, we had the following outstanding commodity derivative instruments that were used as cash flow hedges and economic hedges, as well as commodity derivative instruments related to the physical purchase of corn at a fixed price. The information presents the notional volume of outstanding contracts by type of instrument and year of maturity (volumes in thousands of barrels, except corn contracts that are presented in thousands of bushels).

Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions related to our international operations that are denominated in currencies other than the local (functional) currencies of our operations. To manage our exposure to these exchange rate fluctuations, we use foreign currency contracts. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and therefore are classified as economic hedges. As of
September 30, 2019
, we had foreign currency contracts to purchase
$
436
million
of U.S. dollars,
$
1.8
billion
of U.S. dollar equivalent Canadian dollars, and
$
150
million
of U.S. dollar equivalent pounds sterling. All of these commitments matured on or before
October 31, 2019
.
Environmental Compliance Program Price Risk
We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. To manage this risk, we enter into contracts to purchase these credits when prices are deemed favorable. Some of these contracts are derivative instruments; however, we elect the normal purchase exception and do not record these contracts at their fair values. Certain of these programs require us to blend biofuels into the products we produce, and we are subject to such programs in most of the countries in which we operate. These countries set annual quotas for the percentage of biofuels that must be blended into the motor fuels consumed in these countries. As a producer of motor fuels from petroleum, we are obligated to blend biofuels into the products we produce at
32
Table of Contents
VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
a rate that is at least equal to the applicable quota. To the degree we are unable to blend at the applicable rate, we must purchase biofuel credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.). We are exposed to the volatility in the market price of these credits, and we manage that risk by purchasing biofuel credits when prices are deemed favorable. The cost of meeting our obligations under these compliance programs was
$
69
million
and
$
94
million
for the three months ended
September 30, 2019
and
2018
, respectively, and
$
227
million
and
$
431
million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
and
2018
, respectively. These amounts are reflected in cost of materials and other.
Fair Values of Derivative Instruments
The following tables provide information about the fair values of our derivative instruments as of
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
(in millions) and the line items in the balance sheets in which the fair values are reflected. See
Note 13
for additional information related to the fair values of our derivative instruments.
As indicated in
Note 13
, we net fair value amounts recognized for multiple similar derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements, including cash collateral assets and obligations. The following tables, however, are presented on a gross asset and gross liability basis, which results in the reflection of certain assets in liability accounts and certain liabilities in asset accounts.

Market Risk
Our price risk management activities involve the receipt or payment of fixed price commitments into the future. These transactions give rise to market risk, which is the risk that future changes in market conditions may make an instrument less valuable. We closely monitor and manage our exposure to market risk on a daily basis in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. Market risks are monitored by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy.
We do not require any collateral or other security to support derivative instruments into which we enter.
We also do not have any derivative instruments that require us to maintain a minimum investment-grade credit rating.

•
changes in the credit ratings assigned to our debt securities and trade credit;
•
changes in currency exchange rates, including the value of the Canadian dollar, the pound sterling, the euro, the Mexican peso, and the Peruvian sol relative to the U.S. dollar;
•
overall economic conditions, including the stability and liquidity of financial markets; and
•
other factors generally described in the “Risk Factors” section included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
that is incorporated by reference herein.
Any one of these factors, or a combination of these factors, could materially affect our future results of operations and whether any forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be accurate. Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results and future performance may differ materially from those suggested in any forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update these statements unless we are required by the securities laws to do so.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to any such forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
This Form 10-Q includes references to financial measures that are not defined under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted operating income (including adjusted operating income for each of our reportable segments, as applicable) and refining, ethanol, and renewable diesel segment margin. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures to help facilitate the comparison of operating results between periods. See the accompanying financial tables in “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” and note
(e) to the accompanying tables for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly

comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Also in note (e), we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information.
OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Overview
Third Quarter Results
For the
third quarter
of
2019
, we reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of
$609 million
compared to
$856 million
for the
third quarter
of
2018
, which represents a decrease of
$247 million
. This decrease is primarily due to lower operating income between the periods, net of the resulting decrease in income tax expense, as described below.
Operating income for the
third quarter
of
2019
was
$881 million
compared to
$1.2 billion
for the
third quarter
of
2018
, which represents a decrease of $338 million. Excluding the adjustments to operating income reflected in the tables on page
52
, adjusted operating income also decreased $338 million in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
.
The $338 million decrease in adjusted operating income
is primarily due to the following:
•
Refining segment.
Refining segment adjusted operating income decreased by $337 million primarily due to weaker discounts on crude oils and other feedstocks, lower throughput volumes, and higher operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), partially offset by improved gasoline and distillate margins. This is more fully described on pages
56
through
58
.
•
Ethanol segment.
Ethanol segment operating income decreased by
$64 million
primarily due to higher corn prices, partially offset by higher ethanol prices. This is more fully described on page
58
.
•
Renewable diesel segment.
Renewable diesel segment operating income increased by $70 million primarily due to the effect from higher renewable diesel sales volumes and a favorable impact from commodity derivative instruments associated with our price risk management activities. This is more fully described on pages
58
and
59
.
•
Corporate.
Corporate costs increased by $7 million primarily due to increases in certain employee incentive compensation expenses.
First Nine Months Results
For the
first nine months
of
2019
, we reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of
$1.4 billion
compared to
$2.2 billion
for the
first nine months
of
2018
, which represents a decrease of
$808 million
. This decrease is primarily due to an
$877 million
decrease in net income, partially offset by a
$69 million
decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. The decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is primarily due to the recognition of a blender’s tax credit in the
first nine months
of
2018
of which $80 million is attributable to the holder of the noncontrolling interest, as described in note (a) on page
66
. The decrease in net income was primarily driven by a decrease in operating income between the periods, net of the resulting decrease in income tax expense, as described below.
Operating income for the
first nine months
of
2019
was
$2.1 billion
compared to
$3.3 billion
for the
first nine months
of
2018
, which represents a decrease of
$1.2 billion
. Excluding the adjustments to operating income reflected in the tables on page
62
, adjusted operating income decreased $1.1 billion in the
first nine months
of
2019
compared to the
first nine months
of
2018
.
47
Table of Contents
The $1.1 billion decrease in adjusted operating income
is primarily due to the following:
•
Refining segment.
Refining segment adjusted operating income decreased by $1.1 billion primarily due to lower gasoline margins, weaker discounts on crude oil and other feedstocks, and higher operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), partially offset by improved distillate margins. This is more fully described on pages
69
through
71
.
•
Ethanol segment.
Ethanol segment adjusted operating income decreased by
$141 million
primarily due to higher corn prices and higher operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), partially offset by the effect from increased ethanol production volumes. This is more fully described on page
71
.
•
Renewable diesel segment.
Renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income increased by $131 million primarily due to the effect from higher renewable diesel sales volumes, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense. This is more fully described on pages
71
and
72
.
•
Corporate.
Adjusted corporate costs increased by $41 million primarily due to increases in legal and environmental reserves, as well as expenses associated with the Merger Transaction with VLP. This is more fully described on page
72
.
Outlook
Below are several factors that have impacted or may impact our results of operations during the fourth quarter of
2019
:
•
Distillate margins are expected to improve as global demand follows typical seasonal patterns and markets prepare for compliance with the International Maritime Organization’s lower bunker fuel sulfur specifications, which are effective January 1, 2020.
•
Gasoline margins are expected to decline as domestic demand follows typical seasonal patterns.
•
Discounts for medium and heavy sour crude oils are expected to improve as the new bunker fuel sulfur specifications noted above result in lower demand for high sulfur fuel oils, which we expect will compete with sour crude oils as a refining feedstock. Improvement in these discounts has a favorable impact on our refining margins as it lowers our cost of materials.
•
Ethanol margins are expected to improve due to an anticipated decrease in corn prices as concerns over U.S. corn supply ease following the fall harvest.
•
Renewable diesel margins are expected to remain consistent with current levels.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following tables highlight our results of operations, our operating performance, and market reference prices that directly impact our operations. In addition, these tables include financial measures that are not defined under U.S. GAAP and represent non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and include adjusted operating income (including adjusted operating income for each of our reportable segments, as applicable) and refining, ethanol, and renewable diesel segment margin. In note (e) to these tables, we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information.
48
Table of Contents
Effective January 1, 2019, we revised our reportable segments to align with certain changes in how our chief operating decision maker manages and allocates resources to our business. Accordingly, we created a new reportable segment — renewable diesel — because of the growing importance of renewable fuels in the market and the growth of our investments in renewable fuels production. The renewable diesel segment includes the operations of DGD, which were transferred from the refining segment on January 1, 2019. Also effective January 1, 2019, we no longer have a VLP segment, and we include the operations of VLP in our refining segment. This change was made because of the Merger Transaction with VLP, as described in
Note 2
of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and the resulting change in how we manage VLP’s operations. We no longer manage VLP as a business but as logistics assets that support the operations of our refining segment. Our prior period segment information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect our current segment presentation.

Revenues decreased
$3.6 billion
in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
primarily due to decreases in refined petroleum product prices associated with sales made by our refining segment. This decline in revenues was partially offset by lower cost of sales of
$3.3 billion
primarily due to decreases in crude oil and other feedstock costs, resulting in a decrease in operating income of $338 million in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
.
Excluding the adjustments to operating income reflected in the tables on page
52
, adjusted operating income also decreased by $338 million in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
. Details regarding the decrease in adjusted operating income between the periods are discussed by segment below.
Income tax expense decreased
$111 million
in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
primarily as a result of lower income before income tax expense. Our effective tax rate was
21
percent for the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to
24
percent for the
third quarter
of
2018
.
Refining Segment Results
Refining segment revenues decreased
$3.8 billion
in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
primarily due to decreases in refined petroleum product prices. This decline in refining segment revenues was partially offset by lower cost of sales of
$3.4 billion
primarily due to decreases in crude oil and other feedstock costs, resulting in a decrease in refining segment operating income of
$337 million
in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
.
Excluding the adjustments to refining segment operating income reflected in the tables on page
52
, refining segment adjusted operating income also decreased
$337 million
in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
. The components of this decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in these components, are outlined below.

Table of Contents
Refining segment margin, as defined in note (e) to the accompanying tables, decreased
$256 million
in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
primarily due to the following:
•
Lower discounts on crude oils.
The market prices for refined petroleum products generally track the price of Brent crude oil, which is a benchmark crude oil, and we benefit when we process crude oils that are priced at a discount to Brent crude oil. While we benefitted from processing these types of crude oils during the
third quarter
of
2019
, that benefit declined compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
. For example, Maya crude oil, a sour crude oil, sold at a
$5.45
per barrel discount to Brent crude oil for the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to a
$9.74
per barrel discount for the
third quarter
of
2018
, representing an unfavorable decrease of
$4.29
per barrel. Another example is WTI crude oil, a sweet crude oil, which sold at a
$5.64
per barrel discount to Brent crude oil for the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to a
$6.23
per barrel discount for the
third quarter
of
2018
, representing an unfavorable decrease of
$0.59
per barrel. We estimate that the decrease in the discounts for the crude oils we processed during the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $297 million.
•
Lower throughput volumes.
Refining throughput volumes decreased by
146,000
BPD in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
. We estimate that the decrease in refining throughput volumes had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $140 million.
•
Lower discounts on feedstocks other than crude oil
. In addition to crude oil, we utilize other feedstocks, such as natural gas and residuals, in certain of our refining processes. We benefit when we process these other feedstocks that are priced at a discount to Brent crude oil, and while we benefitted from processing these types of feedstocks during the
third quarter
of
2019
, that benefit declined compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
. We estimate that the reduction in the discounts for the other feedstocks that we processed during the
third quarter
of
2019
had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $112 million.
•
Increase in distillate margins.
We experienced an increase in distillate margins during the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
. For example, the Brent-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. Gulf Coast ULS diesel was
$15.79
per barrel for the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to
$13.91
per barrel for the
third quarter
of
2018
, representing a favorable increase of
$1.88
per barrel. Another example is the Brent-based benchmark reference margin for North Atlantic ULS diesel which was
$17.28
per barrel for the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to
$15.54
per barrel for the
third quarter
of
2018
, representing a favorable increase of
$1.74
per barrel. We estimate that the increase in distillate margins per barrel in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
had a favorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $194 million.
•
Increase in gasoline margins.
We also experienced an increase in gasoline margins during the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
. For example, the ANS-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. West Coast CARBOB gasoline was
$19.31
per barrel for the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to
$13.52
per barrel for the
third quarter
of
2018
, representing a favorable increase of
$5.79
per barrel. We estimate that the increase in gasoline margins per barrel in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
had a favorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $105 million.
•
Lower costs of biofuel credits.
As more fully described in
Note 14
of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we must purchase biofuel credits in order to meet our biofuel
57
Table of Contents
blending obligation under various government and regulatory compliance programs. The cost of these credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.) decreased by
$25 million
from
$94 million
for the
third quarter
of
2018
to
$69 million
for the
third quarter
of
2019
.
Refining segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased
$42 million
primarily due to an increase in maintenance costs of $21 million and higher employee related expenses of $9 million.
Refining segment depreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased $39 million primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense of $20 million associated with capital projects that were completed and finance leases that commenced in the latter part of 2018 and the first half of 2019, and an increase in refinery turnaround and catalyst amortization expense of $18 million.
Ethanol Segment Results
Ethanol segment revenues increased
$16 million
in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
primarily due to an increase in ethanol prices, partially offset by the effect of a decrease in ethanol sales volumes. This improvement in ethanol segment revenue was outweighed by higher cost of sales of $80 million, resulting in a decrease in ethanol segment operating income of $64 million in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
. The components of this decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in these components, are outlined below.
Ethanol segment margin, as defined in note (e) to the accompanying tables, decreased
$55 million
in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
primarily due to the following:
•
Higher corn prices
. Corn prices were higher in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
. For example, the CBOT corn price was $
3.90
per bushel for the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to $3.53 per bushel for the
third quarter
of
2018
, representing an unfavorable increase of $0.37 per bushel. We estimate that the increase in the price of corn had an unfavorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of approximately $97 million.
•
Higher ethanol prices
. Ethanol prices were higher in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
primarily due to a decrease in domestic ethanol production. For example, the NYH ethanol price was
$1.53
per gallon for the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to $1.47 per gallon for the
third quarter
of
2018
, representing an increase of $0.06 per gallon. We estimate that the increase in the price of ethanol had a favorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of approximately $39 million.
Ethanol segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased $5 million primarily due to costs to operate the three ethanol plants acquired from Green Plains in November 2018 of $20 million, partially offset by lower energy costs of $10 million and lower chemicals and catalyst expenses of $4 million incurred by our other ethanol plants.
Ethanol segment depreciation and amortization expenses associated with our cost of sales increased
$4 million
primarily due to depreciation expense associated with the three ethanol plants acquired from Green Plains in November 2018.
Renewable Diesel Segment Results
Renewable diesel segment revenues increased
$157 million
in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
primarily due to an increase in renewable diesel sales volumes. This improvement in
58
Table of Contents
renewable diesel segment revenues was partially offset by higher cost of sales of $87 million, resulting in an increase in renewable diesel segment operating income of
$70 million
in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
. The components of this increase, along with the reasons for the changes in these components, are outlined below.
Renewable diesel segment margin, as defined in note (e) to the accompanying tables, increased $78 million in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
primarily due to the following:
•
Higher sales volumes
. Renewable diesel sales volumes increased by
387,000
gallons per day in the
third quarter
of
2019
compared to the
third quarter
of
2018
due to additional production capacity resulting from the expansion of our renewable diesel production facility (the DGD plant) completed in the third quarter of 2018. We estimate that the increase in sales volumes had a favorable impact to our renewable diesel segment margin of approximately $54 million.
•
Price risk management activities
. We recognized a hedge gain of $7 million in the
third quarter
of
2019
from commodity derivative instruments associated with our price risk management activities compared to a loss of $8 million in the
third quarter
of
2018
, representing a favorable impact to our renewable diesel segment margin of approximately $15 million.
Renewable diesel segment depreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased $9 million primarily due to an increase in the DGD plant’s turnaround and catalyst amortization expense.

(a)
Cost of materials and other for the nine months ended September
30, 2018 includes a benefit of $170 million for the biodiesel blender’s tax credit attributable to volumes blended during 2017. The benefit was recognized in February 2018 because the U.S. legislation authorizing the credit was passed and signed into law in that month. Of the $170 million pre-tax benefit, $10
million and $160
million are included in our refining and renewable diesel segments, respectively, and consequently, $80
million is attributable to noncontrolling interest and $90
million is attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders.
(b)
Other operating expenses reflects expenses that are not associated with our cost of sales and primarily includes costs to repair, remediate, and restore our facilities to normal operations following a non-operating event such as a natural disaster or major unplanned outage.
(c)
General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes a charge of $108
million for environmental reserve adjustments associated with certain non-operating sites.
(d)
“Other income, net” for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 includes a $22 million charge from the early redemption of $850 million of our 6.125 percent Senior Notes and a $38 million charge from the early redemption of $750 million of our 9.375 percent Senior Notes, respectively.
(e)
We use certain financial measures (as noted below) that are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are considered to be non-GAAP measures.
We have defined these non-GAAP measures and believe they are useful to the external users of our financial statements, including industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We believe these measures are useful to assess our ongoing financial performance because, when reconciled to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures, they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and that may obscure our underlying business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures nor should they be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define them differently, which diminishes their utility.

(g)
Valero uses certain operating statistics (as noted below) to evaluate performance between comparable periods. Different companies may calculate them in different ways.
Refining segment margin per barrel of throughput and adjusted refining segment operating income per barrel of throughput represents refining segment margin and adjusted refining segment operating income (each as defined in note (e) above) divided by throughput volumes. Ethanol segment margin per gallon of production and adjusted ethanol segment operating income per gallon of production represent ethanol segment margin (as defined in note (e) above) and ethanol segment adjusted operating income divided by production volumes. Renewable diesel segment margin per gallon of sales and adjusted renewable diesel segment operating income per gallon of sales represent renewable diesel segment margin and adjusted renewable diesel segment operating income (each as defined in note (e) above) divided by sales volumes.
Throughput volumes, production volumes, and sales volumes are calculated by multiplying throughput volumes per day, production volumes per day, and sales volumes per day (as provided in the accompanying tables), respectively, by the number of days in the applicable period. We use throughput volumes, production volumes, and sales volumes for the refining segment, ethanol segment, and renewable diesel segment, respectively, due to their general use by others who operate facilities similar to those included in our segments. We believe the use of such volumes results in per unit amounts that are most representative of the product margins generated and the operating costs incurred as a result of our operation of those facilities.
Total Company, Corporate, and Other
Revenues decreased
$7.9 billion
in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
primarily due to decreases in refined petroleum product prices associated with sales made by our refining segment. This decline in revenues was partially offset by lower cost of sales of $6.6 billion primarily due to decreases in crude oil and other feedstock costs and a decrease of $70 million in general and administrative

Table of Contents
expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), resulting in a decrease in operating income of
$1.2 billion
in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
.
Excluding the adjustments to operating income reflected in the tables on page
62
, adjusted operating income was
$2.1 billion
for the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to $3.2 billion for the first
nine
months of
2018
. Details regarding the $1.1 billion decrease in adjusted operating income between the periods are discussed by segment below.
“Other income, net” decreased
$20 million
in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
. This decrease was primarily due to lower interest income of $24 million and higher foreign currency transaction losses of $14 million, partially offset by the favorable effect of a $16 million lower charge for the early redemption of debt between the periods. As more fully described in note (d) to the accompanying tables, we redeemed debt in both the first
nine
months of
2019
and the first
nine
months of
2018
and incurred early redemption charges of $22 million and $38 million, respectively.
Income tax expense decreased
$298 million
in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
primarily as a result of lower income before income tax expense. Our effective tax rate was
21
percent for the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to
22
percent for the first
nine
months of
2018
.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased
$69 million
in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
primarily due to the recognition of a blender’s tax credit in the first
nine
months of
2018
of which $80 million is attributable to the holder of the noncontrolling interest, as described in note (a) to the accompanying tables.
Refining Segment Results
Refining segment revenues decreased
$8.3 billion
in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
primarily due to decreases in refined petroleum product prices. This decline in refining segment revenues was partially offset by lower cost of sales of $7.2 billion primarily due to decreases in crude oil and other feedstock costs, resulting in a decrease in refining segment operating income of
$1.1 billion
in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
.
Excluding the adjustments to refining segment operating income reflected in the tables on page
62
,
refining segment adjusted operating income also decreased
$1.1 billion
in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to
the first
nine
months of
2018
. The components of this decrease, along with reasons for the changes in these components, are outlined below.
Refining segment margin, as defined in note (e) to the accompanying tables, decreased
$834
million in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
, primarily due to the following:
•
Decrease in gasoline margins.
We experienced a decrease in gasoline margins during the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
. For example, the Brent-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. Gulf Coast CBOB gasoline was
$4.57
per barrel for the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to
$7.28
per barrel for the first
nine
months of
2018
, representing an unfavorable decrease of
$2.71
per barrel. Another example is the Brent-based benchmark reference margin for North Atlantic CBOB gasoline, which was
$7.16
per barrel for the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to
$9.89
per barrel for the first
nine
months of
2018
, representing an unfavorable decrease of
$2.73
per barrel. We estimate that the decrease in gasoline margins per barrel in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $484 million.

Table of Contents
•
Lower discounts on feedstocks other than crude oil
. In addition to crude oil, we utilize other feedstocks, such as natural gas and residuals, in certain of our refining processes. We benefit when we process these other feedstocks that are priced at a discount to Brent crude oil, and while we benefitted from processing these types of feedstocks during the first
nine
months of
2019
, that benefit declined compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
. We estimate that the decrease in the discounts for the other feedstocks that we processed during the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $335 million.
•
Lower discounts on crude oils.
The market prices for refined petroleum products generally track the price of Brent crude oil, which is a benchmark crude oil, and we benefit when we process crude oils that are priced at a discount to Brent crude oil. While we benefitted from processing these types of crude oils during the first
nine
months of
2019
, that benefit declined compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
. For example, Maya crude oil, a heavy sour crude oil, sold at a
$5.57
per barrel discount to Brent crude oil for the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to a
$10.70
per barrel discount for the first
nine
months of
2018
, representing an unfavorable decrease of
$5.13
per barrel. Another example is ASCI crude oil, which sold at a
$3.17
per barrel discount to Brent crude oil for the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to a
$5.21
per barrel discount for the first
nine
months of
2018
, representing an unfavorable decrease of
$2.04
per barrel. We estimate that the decrease in the discounts for the crude oils we processed during the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $304 million.
•
Lower throughput volumes.
Refining throughput volumes decreased by
48,000
BPD in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
. We estimate that the decrease in refining throughput volumes had an unfavorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $132 million.
•
Increase in distillate margins
. We experienced an increase in distillate margins in most of our regions during the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
. For example, the Brent-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. Gulf Coast ULS diesel was
$14.55
per barrel for the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to
$13.72
per barrel for the first
nine
months of
2018
, representing a favorable increase of
$0.83
per barrel. Another example is the WTI-based benchmark reference margin for U.S. Mid-Continent ULS diesel, which was
$22.93
per barrel for the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to
$21.54
per barrel for the first
nine
months of
2018
, representing a favorable increase of
$1.39
per barrel. We estimate that the increase in distillate margins per barrel in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
had a favorable impact to our refining segment margin of approximately $337 million.
•
Lower costs of biofuel credits.
As more fully described in
Note 14
of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we must purchase biofuel credits in order to meet our biofuel blending obligation under various government and regulatory compliance programs. The cost of these credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.) decreased by
$204 million
from
$431 million
for the first
nine
months of
2018
to
$227 million
for the first
nine
months of
2019
.
Refining segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased
$140 million
primarily due to an increase in maintenance costs of $80 million and higher electricity costs of $9 million, along with the effect of favorable property tax settlements of $20 million and a sales and use
70
Table of Contents
tax refund of $7 million received in the first
nine
months of
2018
that did not recur in the first
nine
months of
2019
.
Refining segment depreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased
$116 million
primarily due to an increase in refinery turnaround and catalyst amortization expense of $63 million and an increase in depreciation expense of $45 million associated with capital projects that were completed and finance leases that commenced in the latter part of 2018 and the first half of 2019.
Ethanol Segment Results
Ethanol segment revenues increased
$29 million
in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
primarily due to an increase in ethanol prices, partially offset by the effect of a decrease in ethanol sales volumes. This improvement in ethanol segment revenue was outweighed by higher cost of sales of $170 million, resulting in a decrease in ethanol segment operating income of
$142 million
in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
.
Excluding the adjustment to ethanol segment operating income reflected in the table on page
62
, ethanol segment adjusted operating income decreased $141 million in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
. The components of this decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in these components, are outlined below.
Ethanol segment margin, as defined in note (e) to the accompanying tables, decreased
$88 million
in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
, primarily due to the following:
•
Higher corn prices.
Corn prices were higher in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
. For example, the CBOT corn price was
$3.85
per bushel for the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to
$3.68
per bushel for the first
nine
months of
2018
, representing an unfavorable increase of
$0.17
per bushel. We estimate that the increase in the price of corn had an unfavorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of approximately $116 million.
•
Higher ethanol prices.
Despite a decrease in the NYH ethanol price from
$1.52
per gallon for first
nine
months of
2018
to
$1.50
per gallon for first
nine
months of
2019
, we sold ethanol at higher prices in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
due to favorable location differentials. We estimate that the increase in the price of ethanol we sold had a favorable impact to our ethanol segment margin of $26 million.
Ethanol segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased $42 million primarily due to costs to operate the three ethanol plants acquired from Green Plains in November 2018 of $72 million, partially offset by lower energy costs of $16 million and lower chemical and catalyst expenses of $10 million incurred by our other ethanol plants.
Ethanol segment depreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased $11 million primarily due to depreciation expense associated with the three ethanol plants acquired from Green Plains in November 2018.
Renewable Diesel Segment Results
Renewable diesel segment revenues increased
$453 million
in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
primarily due to an increase in renewable diesel sales volumes. This improvement in renewable diesel segment revenues was outweighed by higher cost of sales of $482 million resulting in a decrease in renewable diesel segment operating income of
$29 million
in the first
nine
months of
2019
71
Table of Contents
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the effect from the 2017 blender’s tax credit of $160 million recognized in the first
nine
months of
2018
(as described in note (a) on page
66
), which did not recur in the first
nine
months of
2019
, and incremental costs attributable to the expanded production capacity of the DGD plant.
Excluding the 2017 blender’s tax credit recognized in the first
nine
months of
2018
reflected in the table on page
62
, renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income increased $131 million in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
. The components of this increase, along with the reasons for the changes in these components, are outlined below.
Renewable diesel segment margin, as defined in note (e) to the accompanying tables, increased $158 million in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
primarily due to the effect from higher sales volumes of
398,000
gallons per day in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
. The increase in sales volumes is primarily due to the additional production capacity resulting from the expansion of the DGD plant completed in the third quarter of 2018. We estimate that the increase in sales volumes had a favorable impact to our renewable diesel segment margin of approximately $160 million.
Renewable diesel segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased
$8 million
, which is primarily attributable to increased costs resulting from the expansion of the DGD plant in the third quarter of 2018.
Renewable diesel segment depreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased
$19 million
primarily due to higher turnaround and catalyst amortization expense of $12 million and depreciation expense associated with the expansion of the DGD plant in the third quarter of 2018 of $6 million.
Corporate
Corporate consists primarily of general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expense associated with our corporate offices. Corporate costs decreased by
$67 million
in the first
nine
months of
2019
compared to the first
nine
months of
2018
. Excluding the environmental reserve adjustments of $108 million for the first
nine
months of
2018
reflected in the table on page
62
, adjusted corporate costs increased by $41 million primarily due to increases in legal and environmental reserves of $24 million and$5 million, respectively, as well as expenses associated with the Merger Transaction with VLP of $7 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
We believe that we have sufficient funds from operations and from borrowings under our credit facilities to fund our ongoing operating requirements and other commitments. We expect that, to the extent necessary, we can raise additional funds from time to time through equity or debt financings in the public and private capital markets or the arrangement of additional credit facilities. However, there can be no assurances regarding the availability of any future financings or additional credit facilities or whether such financings or additional credit facilities can be made available on terms that are acceptable to us.

Cash Flows for the
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2019
Our operations generated
$3.8 billion
of cash in the first
nine
months of
2019
, driven primarily by net income of
$1.5 billion
, noncash charges to income for depreciation and amortization expense of
$1.7 billion
, and a positive change in working capital of
$728 million
. See “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for further discussion of our operations. The change in our working capital is detailed in
Note 12
of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The source of cash resulting from the
$728 million
change in working capital was mainly due to:
•
an increase in accounts payable due to an increase in commodity prices in September 2019 compared to December 2018 combined with an increase in crude oil volumes purchased and the timing of payments of invoices;
•
a decrease in prepaid expenses and other mainly due to a decrease in income taxes receivable resulting from a refund of $348 million, including interest, associated with the settlement of the combined audit related to our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2010 and 2011;
•
a decrease in inventories due to lower volumes; partially offset by
•
an increase in receivables resulting from an increase in commodity prices in September 2019 compared to December 2018 combined with an increase in sales volumes.
The
$3.8 billion
of cash generated by our operations, along with (i) $992 million of proceeds from the debt issuance related to our 4.00 percent Senior Notes, (ii)
$148 million
of proceeds from borrowings of VIEs, and (iii)
$845 million
from available cash on hand, were used mainly to:
•

$950 million
.
In addition, during the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
, we sold and repaid
$900 million
of eligible receivables under our accounts receivable sales facility.
Cash Flows for the
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2018
Our operations generated
$2.7 billion
of cash in the first
nine
months of
2018
, driven primarily by net income of
$2.3 billion
and noncash charges to income for depreciation and amortization expense of
$1.5 billion
, partially offset by a negative change in working capital of
$1.2 billion
. See “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for further discussion of our operations. The change in our working capital is detailed in
Note 12
of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The use of cash resulting from the
$1.2 billion
change in working capital was mainly due to:
•
an increase in receivables, primarily as a result of increasing commodity prices;
•
an increase
in inventory due to higher inventory levels combined with higher commodity prices;
•
a decrease in income taxes payable resulting from the $400 million payment of our fourth quarter 2017 estimated taxes in January 2018; and
•
a decrease in accrued expenses mainly due to the timing of payments on our environmental compliance program obligations; partially offset by
•
an increase in accounts payable due to higher commodity prices and higher purchases.

$71 million
of proceeds from borrowings of VIEs, and (iii)
$2.3 billion
from available cash on hand, were used mainly to:

Capital Investments
As disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
, we expect to make capital investments of approximately
$2.5 billion
in 2019 and in 2020. Approximately
60
percent of those investments are for sustaining the business and
40
percent are for growth strategies. We consider capital investments to include the following:
•
Capital expenditures, including those made by DGD but excluding other VIEs;
•
Deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures, including those made by DGD; and
•
Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
We include DGD’s capital expenditures and deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures in capital investments because we, as operator of DGD, manage its capital projects and expenditures. We do not include the capital expenditures of our other consolidated VIEs in capital investments because we do not operate those VIEs. In addition, we do not include expenditures for acquisitions and acquisitions of undivided interests in capital investments.
Other Matters Impacting Liquidity and Capital Resources
Stock Purchase Program
On
January 23, 2018
, our board of directors authorized our purchase of up to an additional
$2.5 billion
of our outstanding common stock (the 2018 Program) with no expiration date. As of
September 30, 2019
, we had
$1.7 billion
remaining available for purchase under the 2018 Program. We have no obligation to make purchases under this program.
Pension Plan Funding
As described in
Note 9
of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we plan to contribute approximately
$125 million
to our pension plans and
$21 million
to our other postretirement benefit plans during
2019
, most of which has been contributed as of
September 30, 2019
.
Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to extensive environmental regulations by governmental authorities relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, waste management, pollution prevention measures, GHG emissions, and characteristics and composition of gasolines and distillates. Because environmental laws and
75
Table of Contents
regulations are becoming more complex and stringent and new environmental laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed, the level of future expenditures required for environmental matters could increase in the future. In addition, any major upgrades in any of our operating facilities could require material additional expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations.
Tax Matters
The Internal Revenue Service has ongoing audits related to our U.S. federal income tax returns from 2012 through 2015. During the first quarter of 2019, we settled the combined audit related to our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2010 and 2011 and, in the second quarter of 2019, we received a refund of $348 million, including interest, associated with this audit. We did not have a significant change to our uncertain tax positions upon the settlement of the 2010 and 2011 combined audit. We believe that the ultimate settlement of our 2012 through 2015 audits will not be material to our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Cash Held by Our International Subsidiaries
As of
September 30, 2019
,
$1.8 billion
of our cash and cash equivalents was held by our international subsidiaries. Cash held by our international subsidiaries can be repatriated to us without any U.S. federal income tax consequences as a result of the deemed repatriation provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, but certain other taxes apply, including, but not limited to, withholding and U.S. state income taxes. Therefore, there may be a cost to repatriate cash held by certain of our international subsidiaries to us. We have accrued taxes on a portion of the cash held by one of our international subsidiaries that we have deemed to not be permanently reinvested in our operations in that country. We believe that any additional taxes are not material to our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Concentration of Customers
Our operations have a concentration of customers in the refining industry and customers who are refined petroleum product wholesalers and retailers. These concentrations of customers may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. However, we believe that our portfolio of accounts receivable is sufficiently diversified to the extent necessary to minimize potential credit risk. Historically, we have not had any significant problems collecting our accounts receivable.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As of
September 30, 2019
, our contractual obligations included debt, finance lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations, and other long-term liabilities. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business with respect to our contractual obligations during the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
. However, in the ordinary course of business, we had various debt-related activities during the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
as described in
Note 5
of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
76
Table of Contents
Our debt and financing agreements do not have rating agency triggers that would automatically require us to post additional collateral. However, in the event of certain downgrades of our senior unsecured debt by the ratings agencies, the cost of borrowings under some of our bank credit facilities and other arrangements would increase. As of
September 30, 2019
, all of our ratings on our senior unsecured debt, including debt guaranteed by us, are at or above investment grade level as follows:
Rating Agency
Rating
Moody’s Investors Service
Baa2 (stable outlook)
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
BBB (stable outlook)
Fitch Ratings
BBB (stable outlook)
We cannot provide assurance that these ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or that one or more of these ratings will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency. We note that these credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell, or hold our securities. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Any future reduction below investment grade or withdrawal of one or more of our credit ratings could have a material adverse impact on our ability to obtain short- and long-term financing and the cost of such financings.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As of
September 30, 2019
, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies that involved critical accounting estimates since the date our annual report on Form 10‑K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
was filed.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
COMMODITY PRICE RISK
We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of crude oil, refined petroleum products (primarily gasoline and distillate), renewable diesel, grain (primarily corn), soybean oil, and natural gas used in our operations. To reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows, we use commodity derivative instruments, including futures and options to manage the volatility of:
•
inventories and firm commitments to purchase inventories generally for amounts by which our current year inventory levels (determined on a LIFO basis) differ from our previous year-end LIFO inventory levels; and
•
forecasted feedstock and refined petroleum product purchases, refined petroleum product sales, renewable diesel sales, or natural gas purchases to lock in the price of those forecasted transactions at existing market prices that we deem favorable.
Our positions in commodity derivative instruments are monitored and managed on a daily basis by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy that has been approved by our board of directors.
The following sensitivity analysis includes all of our derivative instruments entered into for purposes other than trading with which we have market risk (in millions):

(6
)
See
Note 14
of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for notional volumes associated with these derivative contracts as of
September 30, 2019
.
COMPLIANCE PROGRAM PRICE RISK
We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. To manage this risk, we enter into contracts to purchase these credits when prices are deemed favorable. Some of these contracts are derivative instruments; however, we elect the normal purchase exception and do not record these contracts at their fair values. As of
September 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, the amount of gain or loss in the fair value of derivative instruments that would have resulted from a 10 percent increase or decrease in the underlying price of the contracts was not material. See
Note 14
of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion about these compliance programs.

(b)
As of
September 30, 2019
and

, we had an interest rate swap associated with $37 million and $40 million, respectively, of our floating rate debt resulting in an effective interest rate of 3.85 percent as of each of those reporting dates. The fair value of the swap was immaterial for all periods presented.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
As of
September 30, 2019
, we had foreign currency contracts to purchase
$436 million
of U.S. dollars,
$1.8 billion
of U.S. dollar equivalent Canadian dollars, and
$150 million
