1. 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, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 2, the outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 resulted in significant economic disruption globally. This disruption became more acute in the latter half of March 2020. While demand and market prices for most of our products increased during the second and third quarters of 2020 compared to the end of the first quarter of 2020, developments with respect to COVID-19 have been occurring at a rapid pace and the risk remains that circumstances could change. For instance, beginning in the latter part of the second quarter of 2020, certain governmental authorities in the U.S. and other countries across the world began lifting many of the restrictions put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19. However, many locations where restrictions were lifted, and others where the restrictions were only more moderately lifted (such as California in our U.S. West Coast region, and New York, Canada, and the United Kingdom (U.K.) in our North Atlantic region), have experienced a resurgence in the spread of COVID-19 prompting many governmental authorities to reimpose certain restrictions. Therefore, our operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 do not fully reflect the impact this disruption will likely continue to have on us.

The balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 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, 2019.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. The changes were due to (i) the reclassification of amounts for income taxes receivable from prepaid expenses and other to “receivables, net” in the consolidated balance sheets and (ii) the reclassification of amounts for repayments of debt and finance lease obligations from “other financing activities, net” in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

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.

Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

We adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) on January 1, 2020. Our adoption of these ASUs did not have a material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures.


ASU		Basis of Adoption
2016-13	Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (including codification improvements in ASUs 2018-19 and 2019-11 and ASU 2020-02— Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119)	Cumulative effect

2. UNCERTAINTIES AND CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Overview

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 and certain developments in the global oil markets have impacted and continue to impact our business. We have responded in multiple ways to the impacts from these matters on our business, and we will strive to continue to respond to these impacts. During the early months of the pandemic, we reduced the amount of crude oil processed at most of our refineries in response to the decreased demand for our products, we temporarily idled various gasoline-making units at certain of our refineries to further limit gasoline production, and we took measures to reduce jet fuel production. We also temporarily idled eight of our ethanol plants and reduced production at our remaining six ethanol plants, in each case in order to address the decreased demand for ethanol. We have since increased the production of most of our products to align with increasing demand, and we have restarted the gasoline-making units and five ethanol plants that had been temporarily idled. Demand for our products taken as a whole, however, has not returned to pre-pandemic levels, so we continue to operate our refineries at reduced rates, and 11 of our 14 ethanol plants have recently returned to full production.

Table of Contents

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

experience a reversal or other setbacks. However, the adverse impacts of the economic effects from COVID-19 and uncertainty in the global oil markets on our business have been and will likely continue to be significant. We believe we have proactively addressed many of the known impacts of COVID-19 to the extent possible and we will strive to continue to do so, but there can be no assurance that any measures we have taken or may take will be fully effective. As a result, we expect these matters may affect our estimates and assumptions on amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes in the near term.

Impairment Analysis of Long-Lived Assets

Due to the adverse economic conditions discussed above, we reviewed our significant operating assets for the existence of impairment indicators. As a result of this review, we reduced the estimated useful life of one of our ethanol plants and evaluated five other ethanol plants for potential impairment as of September 30, 2020, considering current economic conditions on our future estimated cash flows. Based on our analysis, we determined that the carrying amount of the plants was recoverable, as the undiscounted future cash flows from each plant exceeded its respective carrying value. The impact from the reduction in estimated useful life did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. We will continue to evaluate the economic conditions and their impact on our assumptions.

Impairment Analysis of Goodwill

We have $260 million of goodwill as of September 30, 2020. All of our goodwill is allocated to one reporting unit, the U.S. Gulf Coast refining region. Our annual test for the impairment of goodwill is performed on October 1 of each year. However, as discussed above, there were adverse changes in the capital and commodity markets that contributed to a significant decline in our common stock price compared to the price as of December 31, 2019 and early March 2020. Despite the decline in our common stock price, we determined our goodwill was not impaired as of September 30, 2020. Nonetheless, we will continue to evaluate the economic conditions and their impact on our assumptions.

Inventory Valuation

See Note 4 regarding our LCM inventory valuation reserve and the estimates used to determine the market value of our inventories, as well as our recognition of an expected liquidation of last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory layers.

3. 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 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

Table of Contents

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

indirect wholly owned subsidiary and, as a result, we no longer reflect noncontrolling interests on our balance 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.

4. INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following (in millions):


	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Refinery feedstocks	$	1,625	$	2,399
Refined petroleum products and blendstocks	3,180		4,034
Renewable diesel feedstocks and products	29		46
Ethanol feedstocks and products	240		260
Materials and supplies	283		274


Inventories	$	5,357	$	7,013

We compare the market value of inventories to their cost on an aggregate basis, excluding materials and supplies. In determining the market value of our inventories, we assume that feedstocks are converted into refined products, which requires us to make estimates regarding the refined products expected to be produced from those feedstocks and the conversion costs required to convert those feedstocks into refined products. We also estimate the usual and customary transportation costs required to move the inventory from our plants to the appropriate points of sale. We then apply an estimated selling price to our inventories. If the aggregate market value is less than the aggregate cost, we recognize a loss for the difference in our statements of income. To the extent the aggregate market value subsequently increases, we recognize an increase to the value of our inventories (not to exceed cost) and a gain in our statements of income.

The market value of our LIFO inventory fell below our historical LIFO inventory costs as of March 31, 2020, and as a result, we recorded an LCM inventory valuation reserve of $2.5 billion in order to state our inventories at market. As of September 30, 2020, we reevaluated our inventories and determined that our cost was lower than market. As a result, our LCM inventory valuation reserve was fully reversed as of September 30, 2020. The change in our LCM inventory valuation reserve resulted in a net benefit of $313 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The net benefit of $19 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is due to the foreign currency translation effect of the portion of the LCM inventory valuation adjustment attributable to our international operations. As of September 30, 2020, the replacement cost (market value) of LIFO inventories approximated their LIFO carrying amounts. As of December 31, 2019, the market value of LIFO inventories exceeded their LIFO carrying amounts by $2.5 billion.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized the impact of an expected liquidation of LIFO inventory layers that increased cost of materials and other by $326 million. Our LIFO

Table of Contents

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

inventory levels decreased throughout the first nine months of 2020 due to lower production resulting from lower demand for our products caused by the negative economic impacts of COVID-19 on our business. Because these impacts are ongoing, we expect that substantially all of our LIFO inventory levels as of December 31, 2020 will remain below their December 31, 2019 levels.

Our non-LIFO inventories accounted for $911 million and $1.4 billion of our total inventories as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

5. LEASES

Significant Lease Commencement

We have a 50 percent membership interest in MVP Terminalling, LLC (MVP), an unconsolidated joint venture formed in September 2017 with a subsidiary of Magellan Midstream Partners LP, to construct, own, and operate the Magellan Valero Pasadena marine terminal (MVP Terminal) located adjacent to the Houston Ship Channel in Pasadena, Texas. Concurrent with the formation of MVP, we entered into a terminaling agreement with MVP to utilize the MVP Terminal upon completion of the initial two phases of construction, which occurred in the first quarter of 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized a finance lease ROU asset and related liability of approximately $1.4 billion in connection with this agreement. The terminaling agreement has an initial term of 12 years with two five-year automatic renewals, and year-to-year renewals thereafter.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the following activity occurred:

•We issued $1.0 billion of 4.00 percent Senior Notes due April 1, 2029. Proceeds from this debt issuance totaled $992 million before deducting the underwriting discount and other debt issuance costs. The proceeds were used to redeem our 6.125 percent Senior Notes due February 1, 2020 (6.125 percent Senior Notes) for $871 million, or 102.48 percent of stated value, which included an early redemption fee of $21 million that is reflected in “other income, net” in our statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

•In connection with the completion of the Merger Transaction, Valero Energy Corporation, the parent company, entered into a guarantee agreement to fully and unconditionally guarantee the prompt payment, when due, of the following debt issued by VLP, one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, that was outstanding as of September 30, 2020:

◦$500 million of 4.375 percent Senior Notes due December 15, 2026; and

◦$500 million of 4.5 percent Senior Notes due March 15, 2028.

Effective March 31, 2020, we early applied the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) Final Rule Release No. 33-10762, Financial Disclosures About Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities. This rule allows us to cease providing the previously required condensed consolidating financial information in our periodic reports while the senior notes issued by VLP noted above are outstanding, as VLP’s reporting obligation was suspended on January 22, 2019 in connection with the completion of the Merger Transaction.

(b)In July 2020, we extended the maturity date of this facility to July 2021 and decreased the facility amount from $1.3 billion to $1.0 billion. The available borrowing capacity was lower than the facility amount due to low product prices impacting the amount of eligible receivables.

(c)Creditors of our VIE do not have recourse against us.

364-day Revolving Credit Facility

In April 2020, we entered into an $875 million 364-Day Credit Agreement (the 364-day Revolving Credit Facility) with several lenders. This facility provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $875 million and matures 364 days from April 13, 2020.

Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the base rate or the eurodollar rate (at our election) plus an applicable rate ranging from 0.150 percent to 1.700 percent, based upon the elected interest rate type and our debt ratings from certain rating agencies. The facility requires us to pay a commitment fee accruing on the daily amount of used and unused commitments of the lenders, also based upon our debt ratings mentioned above. The interest and commitment fees under this facility are payable quarterly. The facility also requires us to pay a customary agency fee to the administrative agent. The facility contains various customary covenants and events of default.

8. 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, 2020, 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 assets of our VIEs can only be used to settle their own obligations and the creditors of our VIEs have no recourse to our other 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 the performance of our consolidated VIEs, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in each VIE.

10. INCOME TAXES

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was enacted, which resulted in significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The most significant changes affecting us were as follows:

•Modification of the limitations previously set by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 by providing that tax net operating losses (NOLs) arising in a tax year beginning in 2018, 2019, or 2020 can be carried back five years. This provision allows the taxpayer to recover taxes previously paid at a 35 percent federal income tax rate during tax years prior to 2018. In addition, the CARES Act removed the taxable income limitation to allow a tax NOL to fully offset taxable income for tax years beginning before January 1, 2021.

•Increased the deductibility of interest expense from 30 percent to 50 percent of adjusted taxable income for 2019 and 2020. Also, a taxpayer can elect to use its 2019 adjusted taxable income in 2020 to determine the deductible amount of interest expense in that year.

Our income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included a tax benefit of $121 million and $238 million, respectively, attributable to the expected tax NOL carryback provided under the CARES Act for expected tax NOLs from our current tax year to our 2015 tax year in which we paid federal income taxes at a 35 percent tax rate. The variation in the customary relationship of our effective tax rate to the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily due to the income tax benefit associated with the expected tax NOL carryback described above. In addition, the higher effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was also affected by the impact of nontaxable income that has the effect of increasing the effective tax rate in periods where we incur a loss before income taxes.

12. REVENUES AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue is presented in the table below under “Segment Information” disaggregated by product because this is the level of disaggregation that management has determined to be beneficial to users of our financial statements.

Contract Balances

Contract balances were as follows (in millions):


	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019		Decrease
Receivables from contracts with customers, included in receivables, net	$	3,169	$	5,610	$	(2,441)
Contract liabilities, included in accrued expenses	43		55		(12)

Receivables from contracts with customers is a component of “receivables, net” as presented on the balance sheet. The decrease in “receivables, net” is described in Note 13.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized as revenue $53 million that was included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2019.

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, 2020, we have not disclosed the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to our remaining performance obligations.

Segment Information

We have three reportable segments — refining, renewable diesel, and ethanol. 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

Table of Contents

products manufactured by our refineries and sold by this segment include gasolines and blendstocks, distillates, and other products.

•The renewable diesel segment represents 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.

•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.

Operations that are not included in any of the reportable segments are included in the corporate category.

Changes in current assets and current liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were as follows:

•the decrease in receivables was due to (i) a decrease of $3.6 billion as a result of a decrease in sales volumes combined with a decrease in commodity prices in September 2020 compared to December 2019, (ii) the collection of $449 million for a blender’s tax credit receivable attributable to volumes blended during 2019 and 2018, and (iii) an increase in income taxes receivable of $770 million primarily due to the recognition of a current income tax benefit;

•the decrease in inventories was primarily due to lower inventory levels in September 2020 compared to December 2019; and

•the decrease in accounts payable was due to a decrease in crude oil and other feedstock volumes purchased combined with a decrease in commodity prices in September 2020 compared to December 2019.

Changes in current assets and current liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were as follows:

•the increase in receivables was due to an increase in commodity prices in September 2019 compared to December 2018 combined with an increase in sales volumes, partially offset by an income tax 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;

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information (in millions) about our assets and liabilities recognized at their fair values in our balance sheets categorized according to the fair value hierarchy of the inputs utilized by us to determine the fair values as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

We have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple similar derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty, including any related cash collateral assets or obligations as shown below; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented in the following tables on a gross basis. We have no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross on the balance sheet.

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 15. 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.

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 a 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

There was no significant activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 related to the fair value amounts categorized in Level 3 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

There were no assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

15. 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 14), as summarized below under “Fair Values of Derivative Instruments.” The effect of these derivative instruments on our income and other comprehensive income (loss) is summarized below under “Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).”

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), renewable diesel feedstocks, 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 objectives 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, and/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, and/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, 2020, 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).

Futures – short	46,280	3,840	130
Physical contracts – long	8,713	3,055	120

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, 2020, we had foreign currency contracts to purchase $244 million of U.S. dollars, $1.9 billion of U.S. dollar equivalent Canadian dollars, and $150 million of U.S. dollar equivalent pounds sterling. Of these commitments, $1.1 billion matured on or before October 26, 2020 and the remaining $1.2 billion will mature by December 15, 2020.

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 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 $143 million and $69 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $391 million and $227 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These amounts are reflected in cost of materials and other.

We are subject to additional requirements under greenhouse gas (GHG) emission programs, including the cap-and-trade systems, as discussed in Note 14. Under these cap-and-trade systems, we purchase various GHG emission credits available on the open market. Therefore, we are exposed to the volatility in the market price of these credits. The cost to implement certain provisions of the cap-and-trade systems are significant; however, we recovered the majority of these costs from our customers for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and expect to continue to recover the majority of these costs in the future. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the net cost of meeting our obligations under these compliance programs was immaterial.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

The following tables provide information about the fair values of our derivative instruments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in millions) and the line items in the balance sheets in which the fair values are reflected. See Note 14 for additional information related to the fair values of our derivative instruments.

As indicated in Note 14, 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 table, however, is 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.

Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The following table provides information about the gain or loss recognized in income and other comprehensive income (loss) due to fair value adjustments of our cash flow hedges (in millions):

For cash flow hedges, no component of any derivative instrument’s gains or losses was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash flow hedges primarily related to forward sales of renewable diesel. The estimated deferred after-tax gain that is expected to be reclassified into revenues over the next 12 months as a result of the hedged transactions that are forecasted to occur as of September 30, 2020 was immaterial. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into income as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting. The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component, net of tax, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are described in Note 7.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The discussions in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK,” “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS,” and “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” below include 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); refining, renewable diesel, and ethanol segment margin; and capital investments attributable to Valero. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures to help facilitate the comparison of operating results between periods and to help assess our cash flows. See the tables in note (f) beginning on page 59 for reconciliations of adjusted operating income (including adjusted operating income for each of our reportable segments, as applicable) and refining, renewable diesel, and ethanol segment margin to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Also in note (f), we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of such non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information. See the table on page 72 for a reconciliation of capital investments attributable to Valero to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Beginning on page 71, we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Overview

Business Operations Update

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 has resulted in significant economic disruption globally, including in North America and Europe, the primary geographic areas where we operate. In March, governmental authorities around the world took actions, such as stay-at-home orders and other social distancing measures, to slow the spread of COVID-19 that restricted travel, public gatherings, and the overall level of individual movement and in-person interaction across the globe. These actions have significantly reduced global economic activity and negatively impacted many businesses, including our business. Airlines have dramatically reduced flights and motor vehicle usage has significantly declined, in each case relative to typical pre-pandemic levels. As a result, there has been a decline in the demand for, and thus also the market prices of, most of the transportation fuels that we produce and sell. There has also been a decline in the global demand for crude oil, the primary feedstock for our refined products, resulting in a decline in crude oil prices and production levels. While

Table of Contents

the production levels of all types of crude oils have declined, sour crude oil production has declined significantly. This has reduced the price advantage of sour crude oils relative to sweet crude oils, which has exacerbated the negative impact of lower product prices on our refining margin.1,2

Beginning in the latter part of the second quarter of 2020, certain governmental authorities in the U.S. and other countries across the world, particularly those in our U.S. Gulf Coast and U.S. Mid-Continent regions, began lifting many of the restrictions put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19, while governmental authorities in our U.S. West Coast and North Atlantic regions only recently began lifting restrictions on a more moderate basis. This has resulted in an increase in the level of individual movement and travel and, in turn, an increase in the demand and market prices for most of our products relative to what we experienced during the first several months of the pandemic. However, many locations where restrictions were lifted, and others where the restrictions were only more moderately lifted (such as California in our U.S. West Coast region, and New York, Canada, and the U.K. in our North Atlantic region), have experienced a resurgence in the spread of COVID-19 prompting many governmental authorities to reimpose certain restrictions. While this response has not yet significantly impacted the increased level of individual movement associated with the initial lifting of many restrictions, the risk remains that any further reimposition of prior restrictions or the imposition of new restrictions, could weaken the partial recovery in the demand and market prices for our products, which would negatively affect us.

As previously noted, the decrease in the demand for transportation fuels has resulted in a significant decrease in the price of refined petroleum products manufactured by our refining segment. For example, the price of gasoline3 in the U.S. Gulf Coast region where eight of our 15 refineries are located was $68.82 per barrel at the beginning of 2020, fell to $17.65 per barrel at the end of March (a 74 percent decline), and partially recovered to $48.63 per barrel by the end of September (a 29 percent decline over the nine-month period). Another example is the price of diesel4 in the U.S. Gulf Coast region, which was $81.71 per barrel at the beginning of 2020, fell to $39.18 per barrel at the end of March (a 52 percent decline), and partially recovered to $46.38 per barrel by the end of September (a 43 percent decline over the nine-month period). On October 27, 2020, the prices of gasoline3 and diesel4 were $45.26 per barrel and $47.05 per barrel, respectively.

The price of ethanol manufactured by our ethanol segment has also decreased due to a decline in demand. Because ethanol is primarily blended into gasoline, ethanol demand declined along with the decline in the demand for gasoline.

Demand for renewable diesel has not significantly declined due to continued demand for this low-carbon fuel despite the current economic environment; therefore, our renewable diesel segment has not been impacted as significantly as our refining and ethanol segments.

Prices for the products we sell and the feedstocks we purchase impact our revenues, cost of sales, operating income, and liquidity. In addition, a decline in the market prices of products and feedstocks below their carrying values in our inventory results in a writedown in the value of our inventories, and a subsequent recovery in market prices results in a write-up in the value of our inventories to their previous

1 See page 62 for our definition of refining margin and why we believe it is an important financial and operating measure.

2 Sour crude oils typically sell at a discount to the price of benchmark sweet crude oils, which set the price of most refined products. Therefore, lower prices for sour crude oils that we process have a favorable impact on our refining margin.

carrying values. These inventory valuation adjustments are referred to as “lower of cost or market (LCM) inventory valuation adjustments” and are described in Note 4 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. For the third quarter of 2020, we generated an operating loss of $621 million, which includes a $313 million recovery in the value of our inventories. We wrote down the value of our inventories by $2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2020 due to the significant decline in market prices at that time, but as market prices improved, we reversed $2.2 billion of the writedown in the second quarter and the remaining amount in the third quarter. For the first nine months of 2020, we generated an operating loss of $1.1 billion. Our operating results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2020, including operating results by segment, are described in the summary below, and detailed descriptions can be found under “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” on pages 47 through 68.

Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.4 billion during the first nine months of 2020, from $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2019 to $4.0 billion as of September 30, 2020. We invested $1.9 billion in our business and returned $1.3 billion to our stockholders primarily through dividends. These uses of cash were offset by proceeds from two public debt offerings totaling $4.0 billion before deducting the underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs as described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, our operations generated net cash of $852 million, which was driven by a decrease in inventory on hand. We had $9.6 billion of liquidity5 as of September 30, 2020. A summary of our cash flows is presented on page 70, and a description of our cash flows and other matters impacting our liquidity and capital resources, including measures we have taken to address the impacts of COVID-19 on our liquidity, can be found under “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” on pages 68 through 73.

We have responded in multiple ways to the impacts from COVID-19 on our business, and we will strive to continue to respond to these impacts. During the early months of the pandemic, we reduced the amount of crude oil processed at most of our refineries in response to the decreased demand for our products, we temporarily idled various gasoline-making units at certain of our refineries to further limit gasoline production, and we took measures to reduce jet fuel production. We temporarily idled eight of our ethanol plants and reduced production at our remaining six ethanol plants, in each case in order to address the decreased demand for ethanol. We have since increased the production of most of our products to align with increasing demand, and we have restarted the gasoline-making units and five ethanol plants that had been temporarily idled. Demand, however, has not returned to pre-pandemic levels, so we continue to operate our refineries at reduced rates, and 11 of our 14 ethanol plants have recently returned to full production. In addition to these measures and the issuances of an aggregate of $4.0 billion of debt previously noted, we have addressed our liquidity as outlined below:

•We deferred projects representing approximately $500 million of capital investments that we had expected to make in 2020 related to our refining and ethanol segments.

•We deferred income and indirect (e.g., value-added taxes (VAT) and motor fuel taxes) tax payments of approximately $440 million. These deferrals have been provided to taxpayers under new legislation, such as the CARES Act in the U.S., and by various taxing authorities under existing legislation. Approximately 40 percent of the deferred payments were paid in the third quarter of 2020, with the remaining amount due in 2021 and 2022. Of the remaining amount due, approximately 70 percent will be paid in 2021 and 30 percent in 2022.

5 See the components of our liquidity as of September 30, 2020 in the table on page 69 under “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES—Our Liquidity.”

Table of Contents

•We have not purchased any shares of our common stock under our stock purchase program since mid-March 2020, and we will evaluate the timing of repurchases when appropriate. We have no obligation to make purchases under our stock purchase program.

•We entered into a 364-day Revolving Credit Facility on April 13, 2020 with an aggregate principal amount of up to $875 million as described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As of September 30, 2020 and October 27, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

•We extended the maturity date of our accounts receivable sales facility to July 2021 and decreased the facility amount from $1.3 billion to $1.0 billion as described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As of September 30, 2020 and October 27, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under this facility, and available borrowing capacity was $742 million as of October 27, 2020.

Many uncertainties remain with respect to COVID-19, including its resulting economic effects, and we are unable to predict the ultimate economic impacts from COVID-19 on our business and how quickly national economies can recover once the pandemic subsides, or whether any recovery will ultimately experience a reversal or other setbacks. However, the adverse impacts of the economic effects on our company have been and will likely continue to be significant. We believe we have proactively addressed many of the known impacts of COVID-19 to the extent possible and we will strive to continue to do so, but there can be no assurance that these or other measures will be fully effective.

Third Quarter Results

For the third quarter of 2020, we reported a net loss attributable to Valero stockholders of $464 million compared to net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $609 million for the third quarter of 2019, which represents a decrease of $1.1 billion. The decrease was primarily due to lower operating income of $1.5 billion, partially offset by a $502 million decrease in income taxes.

While our operating income decreased by $1.5 billion in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019, adjusted operating income also decreased by $1.5 billion. Adjusted operating income excludes the adjustments reflected in the table in note (f) on page 60.

The $1.5 billion decrease in adjusted operating income was primarily due to the following:

•Refining segment. Refining segment adjusted operating income decreased by $1.7 billion primarily due to decreases in gasoline and distillate margins and lower throughput volumes, partially offset by lower operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense). This is more fully described on pages 51 and 52.

•Renewable diesel segment. Renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income increased by $61 million primarily due to higher renewable diesel sales volumes. This is more fully described on page 53.

•Ethanol segment. Ethanol segment adjusted operating income increased by $79 million primarily due to lower corn prices and operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), partially offset by lower ethanol prices. This is more fully described on pages 53 and 54.

First Nine Months Results

For the first nine months of 2020, we reported a net loss attributable to Valero stockholders of $1.1 billion compared to net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $1.4 billion for the first nine months of 2019, which represents a decrease of $2.4 billion. The decrease was primarily due to lower operating income of $3.2 billion, partially offset by a $990 million decrease in income taxes. The decrease in operating income included a $326 million charge for the impact of an expected liquidation of LIFO inventory layers which is described in Note 4 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in note (a) on page 58.

While our operating income decreased by $3.2 billion in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019, adjusted operating income decreased by $3.1 billion. Adjusted operating income excludes the LIFO liquidation adjustment and other adjustments to operating income reflected in the table in note (f) on page 60.

The $3.1 billion decrease in adjusted operating income was primarily due to the following:

•Refining segment. Refining segment adjusted operating income decreased by $3.3 billion primarily due to decreases in gasoline and distillate margins and lower throughput volumes, partially offset by higher margins on other products and lower operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense). This is more fully described on pages 65 and 66.

•Renewable diesel segment. Renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income increased by $122 million primarily due to higher renewable diesel sales volumes and a favorable impact from commodity derivative instruments associated with our price risk management activities, partially offset by lower renewable diesel prices. This is more fully described on pages 66 and 67.

•Ethanol segment. Ethanol segment adjusted operating income decreased by $21 million primarily due to lower ethanol prices and production volumes, partially offset by lower corn prices, lower operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), and higher prices on corn related co-products. This is more fully described on pages 67 and 68.

Outlook

As previously discussed, many uncertainties remain with respect to COVID-19 and the political and economic environment going forward, and while it is difficult to predict the ultimate economic impacts on us, we have noted several factors below that have impacted or may impact our results of operations during the fourth quarter of 2020.

•Gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel prices are expected to improve as excess inventory continues to draw toward historical levels and product demand recovers.

•Sour crude oil discounts are expected to improve with anticipated OPEC production increases in response to any growth in global oil demand.

•Renewable diesel margins are expected to remain consistent with current levels.

•Ethanol margins are expected to remain consistent with current levels.

As a result of the U.K.’s election to withdraw from the European Union (EU) in a national referendum (Brexit) in June 2016, the U.K. withdrew from the EU on January 31, 2020. Currently, the U.K. and the EU continue to negotiate a new free trade agreement. However, it is uncertain whether an agreement will be reached by December 31, 2020, and, if so, the specific terms of such agreement. In the event an agreement is not reached, it is possible that reciprocal tariffs will be introduced between the U.K. and the EU. Under this scenario, we do not anticipate any such reciprocal tariffs would have a material adverse effect on our refining operations in the U.K.

Revenues decreased by $11.4 billion in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to decreases in refined petroleum product prices associated with sales made by our refining segment. The decrease in revenues was partially offset by a decrease in cost of sales of $9.9 billion and a $31 million decrease in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), which resulted in a $1.5 billion decrease in operating income, from $881 million of operating income in the third quarter of 2019 to an operating loss of $621 million in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to decreases in crude oil and other feedstock costs.

Adjusted operating income also decreased by $1.5 billion, from $953 million of operating income in the third quarter of 2019 to an operating loss of $553 million in the third quarter of 2020. The $1.5 billion decrease includes a $31 million decrease in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) associated with our corporate activities, and this decrease is discussed below.

Table of Con tent s

The remaining components of the decrease in adjusted operating income are discussed by segment in the segment analysis that follows.

General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $31 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to a $21 million decrease in charitable contributions as well as a $9 million decrease in certain employee compensation expenses.

“Interest and debt expense, net of capitalized interest” increased by $32 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to interest expense associated with public debt offerings in April and September 2020 and finance leases that commenced in the latter part of 2019 and the first half of 2020. See Notes 5 and 6 in Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Income tax expense decreased by $502 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 primarily as a result of lower income before income tax expense. Our effective tax rate was 47 percent for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 21 percent for the third quarter of 2019. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was impacted by an expected U.S. federal tax NOL that will be carried back to 2015 when the U.S. federal statutory rate was 35 percent, as described in Note 10 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the higher effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was also affected by the impact of nontaxable income that has the effect of increasing the effective tax rate in periods where we incur a loss before income taxes.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $55 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to higher earnings associated with DGD.

The

Table of Con tent s

components of the decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.

•Refining segment margin decreased by $1.8 billion in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019.

Refining segment margin is primarily affected by the prices of the refined petroleum products that we sell and the cost of crude oil and other feedstocks that we process. The table on page 49 reflects market reference prices and differentials that we believe had a material impact on the change in our refining segment margin in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019.

The decrease in refining segment margin was primarily due to the following:

◦A decrease in distillate (primarily diesel) margins had an unfavorable impact of approximately $1.2 billion.

◦A decrease in gasoline margins had an unfavorable impact of approximately $513 million.

◦A decrease in throughput volumes of 428,000 barrels per day had an unfavorable impact of approximately $161 million. As noted in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update” on pages 41 through 44, as a result of the economic disruption from COVID-19, we reduced the amount of crude oil processed at our refineries and limited the production of gasoline and jet fuel at certain of our refineries during the early months of the pandemic. While we have since increased production of most of our products and restarted the gasoline-making units that we had temporarily idled at certain of our refineries in order to align with a partial recovery in demand for most of our products, we expect to continue to operate most of our refineries at reduced rates.

•Refining segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $111 million primarily due to lower natural gas and electricity costs of $50 million, lower chemical and catalyst costs of $18 million, lower maintenance expenses of $17 million, and a decrease in certain employee compensation expenses of $13 million.

•Refining segment depreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased by $20 million primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense associated with capital projects that were completed and finance leases that commenced in the latter part of 2019 and the first half of 2020.

Renewable diesel segment operating income increased by $119 million in the third quarter of 2020; however, renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustment in the table in note (f) on page 61, increased by $61 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019. The increase was due to higher renewable diesel segment margin.

Renewable diesel segment margin increased by $61 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019. The increase in renewable diesel segment margin is primarily due to an increase in sales volumes of 232,000 gallons per day, which had a favorable impact of approximately $55 million.

Ethanol Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our ethanol segment for the third quarter of 2020 and 2019. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables on pages 47 and 48, respectively, unless otherwise noted.

Table of Con tent s

Ethanol segment operating income increased by $65 million in the third quarter of 2020; however, ethanol segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustments in the table in note (f) on page 61, increased by $79 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019. The components of the increase, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.

•Ethanol segment margin increased by $64 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019.

Ethanol segment margin is primarily affected by prices of the ethanol and corn related co-products that we sell and the cost of corn that we process. The table on page 50 reflects market reference prices that we believe had a material impact on the change in our ethanol segment margin in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019.

The increase in ethanol segment margin was primarily due to the following:

◦Lower corn prices had a favorable impact of approximately $92 million.

◦Lower ethanol prices had an unfavorable impact of approximately $23 million.

◦A decrease in production volumes of 206,000 gallons per day had an unfavorable impact of approximately $12 million. As noted in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update” on pages 41 through 44, as a result of the economic disruption from COVID-19, eight of our ethanol plants were temporarily idled and production was reduced at our remaining six ethanol plants during the early months of the pandemic. However, demand for ethanol began to recover during the latter part of the second quarter of 2020 and, as a result, 11 of our 14 ethanol plants have recently returned to full production, including five of the plants that had been temporarily idled.

•Ethanol segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $16 million primarily due to lower natural gas and electricity costs of $6 million, lower chemical and catalyst costs of $5 million, and lower maintenance expenses of $3 million.

The following notes relate to references on pages 47 through 56 and 63 through 67.

(a)Cost of materials and other for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes a charge of $326 million for the impact of an expected liquidation of LIFO inventory layers attributable to our refining segment. Our inventory levels have decreased throughout the first nine months of 2020 due to lower production resulting from lower demand for our products caused by the negative economic impacts of COVID-19 on our business. Because these impacts are ongoing, we expect that substantially all of our LIFO inventory levels as of December 31, 2020 will remain below their December 31, 2019 levels.

(b)Cost of materials and other for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes a benefit of $82 million and $237 million, respectively, related to the blender’s tax credit attributable to renewable diesel volumes blended during those periods. The legislation authorizing the credit through December 31, 2022 was passed and signed into law in December 2019, and that legislation also applied retroactively to volumes blended during 2019 (2019 blender’s tax credit). The entire 2019 blender’s tax credit was recognized by us in December 2019 because the law was enacted in that month, but the benefit attributable to volumes blended during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $62 million and $211 million, respectively.

Table of Con tent s

The above mentioned pre-tax benefits are attributable to our reportable segments and stockholders as follows:


	Periods to which Blender’s Tax Credit is Attributable
	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Reportable segments to which blender’s tax credit is attributable
Refining	$	2	$	4	$	6	$	13
Renewable diesel	80		58		231		198
Total	$	82	$	62	$	237	$	211

Interests to which blender’s tax credit is attributable
Valero Energy Corporation stockholders	$	42	$	33	$	121	$	112
Noncontrolling interest	40		29		116		99
Total	$	82	$	62	$	237	$	211

(c)The market value of our inventories accounted for under the LIFO method fell below their historical cost on an aggregate basis as of March 31, 2020. As a result, we recorded an LCM inventory valuation adjustment of $2.5 billion in March 2020. The market value of our LIFO inventories improved due to the subsequent recovery in market prices, which resulted in a reversal of $2.2 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the remaining amount in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Of the $313 million benefit recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2020, $296 million and $17 million is attributable to our refining and ethanol segments, respectively. The LCM inventory valuation adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflects a net benefit of $19 million due to the foreign currency translation effect of the portion of the LCM inventory valuation adjustment attributable to our international operations.

(d)Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes $30 million in accelerated depreciation related to a reduction in the estimated useful life of one of our ethanol plants.

(e)“Other income, net” for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes a $22 million charge from the early redemption of $850 million of our 6.125 percent Senior Notes due February 1, 2020.

(f)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 after adjusting for 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.

Revenues decreased by $32.1 billion in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019 primarily due to decreases in refined petroleum product prices associated with sales made by our refining segment. The decrease in revenues was partially offset by a decrease in cost of sales of $28.9 billion and a decrease in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) of $93 million, which resulted in a $3.2 billion decrease in operating income, from

Table of Con tent s

$2.1 billion of operating income in the first nine months of 2019 to an operating loss of $1.1 billion in the first nine months of 2020. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to decreases in crude oil and other feedstock costs, partially offset by the $326 million LIFO liquidation adjustment.

Adjusted operating income decreased by $3.1 billion, from $2.3 billion of operating income in the first nine months of 2019 to an operating loss of $742 million in the first nine months of 2020. The $3.1 billion decrease includes a $93 million decrease in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) associated with our corporate activities, and this decrease is discussed below. The remaining components of the decrease in adjusted operating income are discussed by segment in the segment analysis that follows.

General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $93 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019 primarily due to a decrease in charitable contributions of $22 million, lower taxes other than income taxes of $17 million, lower advertising expenses of $15 million, and a decrease in certain employee compensation expenses of $11 million, as well as the effect of environmental reserve adjustments related to certain non-operating sites of $11 million and transaction costs of $7 million associated with the Merger Transaction with VLP incurred in 2019.

“Interest and debt expense, net of capitalized interest” increased by $75 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019 primarily due to interest expense associated with public debt offerings in the first nine months of 2020 and finance leases that commenced in the latter part of 2019 and the first half of 2020. See Notes 5 and 6 in Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Income tax expense decreased by $990 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019 primarily as a result of lower income before income tax expense. Our effective tax rate was 43 percent for the first nine months of 2020 compared to 21 percent for the first nine months of 2019. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2020 was impacted by an expected U.S. federal tax NOL that will be carried back to 2015 when the U.S. federal statutory rate was 35 percent, as described in Note 10 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the higher effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2020 was also affected by the impact of nontaxable income that has the effect of increasing the effective tax rate in periods where we incur a loss before income taxes.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $172 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019 primarily due to higher earnings associated with DGD.

Refining segment operating income decreased by $3.6 billion in the first nine months of 2020; however, refining segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustments in the table in note (f) on page 60, decreased by $3.3 billion in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019. The components of this decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.

•Refining segment margin decreased by $3.5 billion in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019.

Refining segment margin is primarily affected by the prices of the refined petroleum products that we sell and the cost of crude oil and other feedstocks that we process. The table on page 57 reflects market reference prices and differentials that we believe had a material impact on the change in our refining segment margin in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019.

The decrease in refining segment margin was primarily due to the following:

◦A decrease in distillate (primarily diesel) margins had an unfavorable impact of approximately $2.3 billion.

◦A decrease in gasoline margins had an unfavorable impact of approximately $1.2 billion.

◦A decrease in throughput volumes of 372,000 barrels per day had an unfavorable impact of $566 million. As noted in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update” on pages 41 through 44, as a result of the economic disruption from COVID-19, we reduced the amount of crude oil processed at our refineries and limited the production of gasoline and jet fuel at certain of our refineries during the early months of the pandemic. While we have since increased the production of most of our products and restarted the gasoline-making units that we had temporarily idled at certain of our

Table of Con tent s

refineries in order to align with a partial recovery in demand for most of our products, we expect to continue to operate most of our refineries at reduced rates.

◦Higher margins on other products had a favorable impact of approximately $718 million.

•Refining segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $285 million primarily due to lower natural gas and electricity costs of $163 million, lower chemical and catalyst costs of $56 million, and lower maintenance expenses of $36 million.

•Refining segment depreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased by $68 million primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense associated with capital projects that were completed and finance leases that commenced in the latter part of 2019 and the first half of 2020.

Renewable Diesel Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our renewable diesel segment for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019.

Renewable diesel segment operating income increased by $320 million in the first nine months of 2020; however, renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustment in the table in note (f) on page 61, increased by $122 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher renewable diesel segment margin.

Renewable diesel segment margin increased by $126 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019. Renewable diesel segment margin is primarily affected by the price of the renewable diesel that we sell and the cost of the feedstocks that we process. The table on page 58 reflects market reference prices that we believe had a material impact on the change in our renewable diesel segment margin in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019.

The increase in renewable diesel segment margin was primarily due to the following:

•An increase in sales volumes of 112,000 gallons per day had a favorable impact of $79 million.

Table of Con tent s

•Price risk management activities had a favorable impact of $62 million. We recognized a hedge gain of $42 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to a hedge loss of $20 million in the first nine months of 2019.

•Lower product prices had an unfavorable impact of approximately $20 million.

Ethanol Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our ethanol segment for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables on pages 55 and 56, respectively, unless otherwise noted.

Ethanol segment operating income decreased by $51 million in the first nine months of 2020; however, ethanol segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustment in the table in note (f) on page 61, decreased by $21 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019. The components of this decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.

•Ethanol segment margin decreased by $107 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019.

Ethanol segment margin is primarily affected by prices of the ethanol and corn related co-products that we sell and the cost of corn that we process. The table on page 58 reflects market reference prices that we believe had a material impact on the change in our ethanol segment margin in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019.

The decrease in ethanol segment margin was primarily due to the following:

◦Lower ethanol prices had an unfavorable impact of approximately $154 million.

◦A decrease in production volumes of 843,000 gallons per day had an unfavorable impact of approximately $80 million. As noted in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update” on pages 41 through 44, as a result of the economic disruption from COVID-19, eight of our ethanol plants were temporarily idled and production was reduced at our remaining six ethanol plants during the early months of the

Table of Con tent s

pandemic. However, demand for ethanol began to recover during the latter part of the second quarter of 2020 and, as a result, 11 of our 14 ethanol plants have recently returned to full production, including five of the plants that had been temporarily idled.

◦Lower corn prices had a favorable impact of approximately $106 million.

◦Higher prices on the co-products that we produce, primarily distillers grains, had a favorable impact of approximately $23 million.

•Ethanol segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $85 million primarily due to lower natural gas and electricity costs of $43 million, lower chemicals and catalyst costs of $21 million, and lower maintenance expenses of $10 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our liquidity was negatively impacted by the significant economic effects resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic as described in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update.” Even though we generated $852 million of cash from operating activities during the first nine months of 2020, the amount of cash generated was negatively impacted by lower earnings and a use of $232 million of cash to fund working capital, which resulted from the rapid decline in the market prices of refined petroleum products and crude oil that occurred during March and April 2020.

We have taken a number of actions to address the current economic environment and its impact on our liquidity, most notably two public debt offerings totaling $4.0 billion before deducting the underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs, which are described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We have taken other actions to address our liquidity and those actions are described in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update” on pages 41 through 44 and in the discussion of matters impacting our liquidity and capital resources below.

Our Liquidity

Our liquidity consisted of the following as of September 30, 2020 (in millions):


Available borrowing capacity from committed facilities:
Valero Revolver	$	3,966
364-day Revolving Credit Facility	875
Canadian Revolver(a)	109
Accounts receivable sales facility	817
Letter of credit facility	50
Total available borrowing capacity	5,817
Cash and cash equivalents(b)	3,809
Total liquidity	$	9,626

_____________________

(a)The amount for our Canadian Revolver is shown in U.S. dollars. As set forth in the summary of our credit facilities in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the availability under our Canadian Revolver as of September 30, 2020 in Canadian dollars was C$145 million.

(b)Excludes $238 million of cash and cash equivalents related to our VIEs that is available for use only by our VIEs.

Information about our outstanding borrowings, letters of credit issued, and availability under our credit facilities is reflected in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2020, we extended the maturity date of our accounts receivable sales facility to July 2021 and decreased the facility amount from $1.3 billion to $1.0 billion as described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As of September 30, 2020 and October 27, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under this facility, and the available borrowing capacity was $742 million as of October 27, 2020.

We believe that cash provided by operations, along with cash from our public debt offerings in April and September of 2020 and available borrowings under our credit facilities, is sufficient to fund our ongoing operating requirements and other commitments. We expect that, to the extent necessary, we can raise additional cash 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, 2020

In the first nine months of 2020, we used $852 million of cash generated by our operations and $4.5 billion in borrowings to make $1.9 billion of investments in our business, fund $2.1 billion of other financing activities, and increase our available cash on hand by $1.4 billion. The borrowings are described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As previously noted, our operations generated $852 million of cash in the first nine months of 2020, which was negatively impacted by an unfavorable change in working capital of $232 million. The change in working capital was affected primarily by a $1.3 billion use of cash6 resulting from the rapid decline in market prices of refined petroleum products and crude oil as a result of the negative economic effects of COVID-19 that impacted our receivables and accounts payable. This use of cash, along with other uses of cash, were partially offset by a $1.6 billion source of cash driven by a reduction in inventory levels on hand. We expect that substantially all of our inventory levels as of December 31, 2020 will remain below their December 31, 2019 levels. Details regarding the components of the change in working capital, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are described in Note 13 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, see “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for an analysis of our net loss.

Our investing activities of $1.9 billion consisted of $1.9 billion in total capital investments, as defined below, of which $329 million related to self-funded capital investments by DGD, and $196 million was related to capital expenditures of VIEs other than DGD.

Other financing activities of $2.1 billion consisted primarily of $1.2 billion in dividends, $461 million of payments of debt and finance lease obligations, $208 million to pay distributions to noncontrolling interests, and $147 million for the purchase of common stock for treasury.

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

In the first nine months of 2019, we used $845 million of cash on hand, $3.8 billion of cash generated by our operations, and $2.0 billion in borrowings to make $2.2 billion of investments in our business and

fund $4.5 billion of other financing activities. The borrowings are described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As previously noted, our operations generated $3.8 billion of cash in the first nine months of 2019, which was favorably impacted by a positive change in working capital of $728 million. Details regarding the components of the change in working capital, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are described in Note 13 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, see “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for an analysis of our net income.

Our investing activities of $2.2 billion consisted primarily of $2.1 billion in total capital investments, as defined below, of which $107 million is related to self-funded capital investments by DGD, and $139 million was related to capital expenditures of VIEs other than DGD.

Other financing activities of $4.5 billion consisted primarily of $1.8 billion of payments of debt and finance lease obligations, $1.1 billion in dividends, $950 million to acquire all of the outstanding publicly held common units of VLP, and $555 million for the purchase of common stock for treasury.

Capital Investments

Our total capital investments include the following:

•Capital expenditures;

•Deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures; and

•Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

Capital investments attributable to Valero is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects our net share of total capital investments. It is defined as all capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures, and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows, excluding the portion of DGD’s capital investments attributable to our joint venture partner and all of the capital expenditures of other VIEs.

We are a 50/50 joint venture partner in DGD and consolidate DGD’s financial statements; as a result, all of DGD’s net cash provided by operating activities (or operating cash flow) is included in our consolidated net cash provided by operating activities. DGD’s partners use DGD’s operating cash flow (excluding changes in its current assets and current liabilities) to fund its capital investments rather than distribute all of that cash to themselves. Because DGD’s operating cash flow is effectively attributable to each partner, only 50 percent of DGD’s capital investments should be attributed to our net share of total capital investments. We also exclude the capital expenditures of our other consolidated VIEs because we do not operate those VIEs. We believe capital investments attributable to Valero is an important measure because it more accurately reflects our capital investments.

This non-GAAP measure should not be considered as an alternative to its most comparable U.S. GAAP measure nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our cash flows as reported under U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define it differently, which may diminish its utility.

Capital expenditures of other VIEs	(196)		(139)
Capital investments attributable to Valero	$	1,507	$	1,937

Due to the current negative economic environment, we have deferred certain capital investments for 2020 related to our refining and ethanol segments. The deferral does not impact our intent to satisfy all required safety, environmental, and regulatory capital commitments. We now expect to incur approximately $2.0 billion in capital investments attributable to Valero during 2020 and will continue to evaluate these investments as changes to the current economic environment occur.

Other Matters Impacting Liquidity and Capital Resources

Stock Purchase Program

As of September 30, 2020, we had $1.4 billion available for purchase under our stock purchase program, which has no expiration date. We have not purchased any shares of our common stock under our stock purchase program since mid-March 2020, and we will evaluate the timing of repurchases when appropriate. We have no obligation to make purchases under this program.

Pension Plan Funding

We expect to make a discretionary contribution of $86 million to our qualified U.S. pension plan in December 2020.

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 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.

Table of Con tent s

Tax Matters

Under recently passed legislation, such as the CARES Act in the U.S., and existing legislation, we deferred approximately $440 million of income and indirect (e.g., VAT and motor fuel taxes) tax payments due in the first and second quarters of 2020. Approximately 40 percent of the deferred payments were paid in the third quarter of 2020, with the remaining amount due in 2021 and 2022. Of the remaining amount due, approximately 70 percent will be paid in 2021 and 30 percent in 2022.

Cash Held by Our International Subsidiaries

As of September 30, 2020, $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 may apply, including, but not limited to, withholding taxes imposed by certain international jurisdictions and U.S. state income taxes. Therefore, there is a cost to repatriate cash held by certain of our international subsidiaries to us, but we believe that such amount is not material to our financial position 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 including the uncertainties concerning COVID-19 and volatility in the global oil markets. 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, 2020, our contractual obligations included debt, finance lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations, and other long-term liabilities. In the ordinary course of business, we had lease and debt-related activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as described in Notes 5 and 6, respectively, of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, certain of our purchase obligations, primarily related to crude oil and other feedstock supply arrangements, declined during the first nine months of 2020 as a result of the decrease in crude oil and feedstock prices that occurred during the period because of the current economic conditions. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business with respect to our contractual obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

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 may increase. As of September 30, 2020, all of our ratings on our senior unsecured debt, including debt of one of our wholly owned subsidiaries that is guaranteed by us, are at or above investment grade level as follows:

Rating Agency

Rating

Moody’s Investors Service

Baa2 (negative outlook)

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services

BBB (negative outlook)

Fitch Ratings

BBB (negative outlook)

Table of Con tent s

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. Our critical accounting estimates are included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the following accounting policy is included as it involves estimates that are considered critical due to the level of subjectivity and judgment involved, as well as the impact on our financial position and results of operations. We believe that all of our estimates are reasonable. Estimates of the sensitivity to earnings that would result from changes in the assumptions used in determining our estimates are not practicable due to the number of assumptions and contingencies involved, and the wide range of possible outcomes.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. A long-lived asset is not recoverable if its carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If a long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value, with fair value determined based on discounted estimated net cash flows or other appropriate methods.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

As of September 30, 2020, we determined there was no impairment of our long-lived assets or goodwill as discussed in Note 2 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

COMMODITY PRICE RISK

•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):


	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019

Gain (loss) in fair value resulting from:
10% increase in underlying commodity prices	$	(1)	$	(39)
10% decrease in underlying commodity prices	1		38

See Note 15 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for notional volumes associated with these derivative contracts as of September 30, 2020.

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 15 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion about these compliance programs.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information below describes new proceedings or material developments in proceedings that we previously reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020.

Environmental Enforcement Matters

While it is not possible to predict the outcome of the following environmental proceedings, if any one or more of them were decided against us, we believe that there would be no material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. We are reporting these proceedings to comply with SEC regulations, which require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state, or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or protecting the environment if we reasonably believe that such proceedings will result in monetary sanctions of $100,000 or more.

Attorney General of the State of Texas (Texas AG) (Houston Terminal). In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we reported that we had an outstanding Notice of Enforcement (NOE) from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), and an outstanding Violation Notice from the Harris County Pollution Control Services Department, both alleging excess emissions from Tank 003 that occurred during Hurricane Harvey at our Houston Terminal. On January 27, 2020, the Texas AG filed suit related to this incident against our Houston Terminal in the 419th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas, Cause No. D-1-GN-20-000516. On September 30, 2020, we resolved this matter with the Texas AG for civil penalties in an amount not material to Valero.

U.S. EPA (Fuels). In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we reported that we had an outstanding Notice of Violation and draft Consent Order from the U.S. EPA related to violations from a 2015 Mobile Source Inspection. On October 19, 2020, we resolved this matter with the EPA for injunctive relief and civil penalties in an amount not material to Valero.

TCEQ (Corpus Christi West Refinery). In our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we reported that we had received an NOE from the TCEQ related to a Title V deviation report investigation at our Corpus Christ West Refinery. On September 25, 2020, the TCEQ withdrew this NOE and is not proceeding with formal enforcement.

TCEQ (Three Rivers Refinery). On August 31, 2020, we received an NOE from the TCEQ related to a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) inspection at our Three Rivers Refinery, which we believe could result in penalties in excess of $100,000. We are working with the TCEQ to resolve this matter.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no changes from the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year December 31, 2019, as supplemented by the risk factor included in our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 13, 2020. However, to the extent COVID-19 adversely affects our business, financial condition, results of operation, and liquidity, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in such risk factors.
