(RTTNews) - Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) reported the third quarter of 2013 net income attributable to stockholders of $312 million, or $0.57 per share, down from $674 million, or $1.21 per share in the third quarter of 2012. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected the company to report earnings of $0.41 per share for the quarter. Analysts' estimates typically exclude special items.
The third quarter 2012 results included a noncash asset impairment loss of $341 million after taxes, or $0.62 per share, and severance expense of $41 million after taxes, or $0.07 per share, primarily related to the Aruba refinery.

Excluding the items, third quarter 2012 operating income was $1.7 billion. The decrease in operating income was due to lower refining throughput margins caused by lower gasoline and diesel margins as well as lower light sweet and sour crude oil discounts. Also contributing to the decline in operating income were higher costs for Renewable Identification Numbers to comply with the U.S. federal Renewable Fuel Standard. Strong performance in the ethanol business partially offset the decline in operating income.
