Holly Corporation Reports First Quarter Results

DALLAS, May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Holly Corporation ("Holly" or the "Company") today reported net income of $8.6 million ($0.17 per basic and diluted share) for the first quarter of 2008, compared to net income of $67.5 million ($1.22 per basic and $1.20 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2007.

On February 29, 2008, Holly Energy Partners, L.P. ("HEP") acquired our crude pipelines and tankage assets. As a result of this transaction, we determined that our beneficial interest in HEP exceeds 50%. Accordingly, we reconsolidated HEP effective March 1, 2008. Subsequent to this date, we no longer record our share of its earnings under the equity method of accounting. This press release includes key segment information that shows the impact of this reconsolidation on certain balance sheet and income statement accounts. The effect of this reconsolidation did not impact our net income.

Net income decreased $58.9 million for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007, due principally to a decline in refined product margins during the current year's first quarter and an increase in operating expenses. These factors were partially offset by the effects of an increase in volumes of produced refined products sold. Overall, our refinery gross margins were $7.72 per produced barrel for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to $16.09 for the first quarter of 2007. Total volumes of refined products sold increased 6% for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007.

Our overall refinery production levels increased 7% for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007. This increase resulted primarily from the combined effects of our 2,000 barrels per stream day ("BPSD") Navajo Refinery capacity expansion in mid-year 2007 and unplanned downtime of certain units at our Navajo Refinery in the first quarter of 2007.

Sales and other revenues increased 60% for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007, due principally to higher refined product sales prices. The average sales price we received per produced barrel sold was $103.20 for the first quarter of 2008, an increase of 38% over $74.59 for the same period in 2007. Cost of products sold increased by 63% to $95.48 per barrel for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to $58.50 per barrel for the first quarter of 2007, due principally to significantly higher crude oil costs. Additionally contributing to the increases in revenues and cost of products sold were higher refined product sales volumes and increases in sales of excess crude oil.

Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation, depletion and amortization, increased by $10.6 million during the first quarter of 2008 versus the first quarter of 2007 due principally to higher utility and refinery maintenance costs, and the inclusion of $3.5 million in net operating costs attributable to HEP as a result of our reconsolidation effective March 1, 2008.

"We experienced a difficult first quarter as industry-wide refining margins were squeezed, particularly during January. Our Navajo Refinery experienced the effects of this industry trend although our Woods Cross margins were less impacted due to its lower feedstock costs. Overall increases in refined product prices did not keep pace with crude oil cost increases. As the quarter developed, margins returned to more acceptable levels led by exceptionally strong diesel prices. Operationally during the first quarter, we were pleased with both our Navajo and Woods Cross refineries. Our Navajo Refinery realized a 10% increase in production, enabling us to achieve an overall 7% increase in refinery production for the first quarter of 2008. Also during the first quarter, we completed the "drop-down" transaction of our crude pipelines and tankage assets with HEP. We remain pleased with the performance of HEP and the value this transaction has created for both Holly and HEP," said Matthew Clifton, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Holly. "We continue to make substantial progress on both our Woods Cross and Navajo expansion and crude flexibility capital projects. Additionally, I am pleased to report that there were no serious injuries associated with the fire at our Woods Cross Refinery on April 30. Costs required to repair a flare line and related equipment were not significant and throughput rates have been restored and are back to planned levels."

Our operations are currently organized into two reportable segments, Refining and HEP. Our operations that are not included in the Refining and HEP segments are included in Corporate and Other and includes the operations of Holly Corporation, our parent company, and a small-scale oil and gas exploration and production program.

The Refining segment includes the operations of our Navajo Refinery, Woods Cross Refinery and Holly Asphalt Company. The Refining segment involves the purchase and refining of crude oil and wholesale and branded marketing of refined products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel, and includes our Navajo Refinery and Woods Cross Refinery. The petroleum products produced by the Refining segment are marketed in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and northern Mexico. The Refining segment also includes Holly Asphalt Company which manufactures and markets asphalt and asphalt products in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and northern Mexico.

The HEP segment involves all of the operations of HEP effective March 1, 2008 (date of reconsolidation). HEP owns and operates a system of petroleum product and crude gathering pipelines in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Utah, distribution terminals in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, and Washington and refinery tankage in New Mexico and Utah. Revenues are generated by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through their pipelines and by charging fees for terminalling petroleum products and other hydrocarbons, and storing and providing other services at their storage tanks and terminals. The HEP segment also included a 70% interest in Rio Grande which provides petroleum products transportation services. Revenues from the HEP segment are earned through transactions with unaffiliated parties for pipeline transportation, rental and terminalling operations as well as revenues relating to pipeline transportation services provided for our refining operations and from HEP's interest in Rio Grande.

Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

Reconciliations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income plus (i) interest expense net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation, depletion and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation based upon accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants.

Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA.

Reconciliations of refinery operating information (non-GAAP performance measures) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.

Refinery gross margin and net operating margin are non-GAAP performance measures that are used by our management and others to compare our refining performance to that of other companies in our industry. We believe these margin measures are helpful to investors in evaluating our refining performance on a relative and absolute basis.

We calculate refinery gross margin and net operating margin using net sales, cost of products and operating expenses, in each case averaged per produced barrel sold. These two margins do not include the effect of depreciation, depletion and amortization. Each of these component performance measures can be reconciled directly to our Statements of Income.

Other companies in our industry may not calculate these performance measures in the same manner.

Refinery Gross Margin

Refinery gross margin per barrel is the difference between average net sales price and average cost of products per barrel of produced refined products. Refinery gross margin for each of our refineries and for both of our refineries on a consolidated basis is calculated as shown below.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 2007 Average per produced barrel: Navajo Refinery Net sales $103.26 $75.58 Less cost of products 96.83 59.04 Refinery gross margin $6.43 $16.54 Woods Cross Refinery Net sales $102.96 $71.61 Less cost of products 90.42 56.87 Refinery gross margin $12.54 $14.74 Consolidated Net sales $103.20 $74.59 Less cost of products 95.48 58.50 Refinery gross margin $7.72 $16.09 Net Operating Margin

Net operating margin per barrel is the difference between refinery gross margin and refinery operating expenses per barrel of produced refined products. Net operating margin for each of our refineries and for both of our refineries on a consolidated basis is calculated as shown below.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 2007 Average per produced barrel: Navajo Refinery Refinery gross margin $6.43 $16.54 Less refinery operating expenses 4.39 4.18 Net operating margin $2.04 $12.36 Woods Cross Refinery Refinery gross margin $12.54 $14.74 Less refinery operating expenses 6.26 4.76 Net operating margin $6.28 $9.98 Consolidated Refinery gross margin $7.72 $16.09 Less refinery operating expenses 4.78 4.32 Net operating margin $2.94 $11.77

Below are reconciliations to our Consolidated Statements of Income for (i) net sales, cost of products and operating expenses, in each case averaged per produced barrel sold, and (ii) net operating margin and refinery gross margin. Due to rounding of reported numbers, some amounts may not calculate exactly.
