SUGAR LAND, Texas, May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CVR Energy,
Inc. (NYSE:CVI), a refiner of petroleum fuels and a manufacturer
and marketer of nitrogen fertilizer products, today reported first
quarter 2008 net income of $22.2 million, or $0.26 per fully
diluted share, on operating income of $87.4 million. (Logo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20071203/CVRLOGO) The 2008
earnings compare with a net loss of $154.4 million, or a pro forma
loss of $1.79 per fully diluted share, in the first quarter of
2007. The results for the first quarter of 2007 reflected a full
refinery maintenance turnaround and downtime associated with an
expansion project conducted at the company's refinery in
Coffeyville, Kan., during that quarter. "CVR Energy achieved these
results in a challenging margin environment for U.S. refiners.
Counterbalancing moderately weak refining margins was a strong and
improving price environment for nitrogen fertilizer products," said
CEO Jack Lipinski. "We believe the mid-continent location of our
refinery and the low-cost, highly efficient nitrogen fertilizer
production facility continue to provide us with advantages that
differentiate us from pure-play refiners. "Refining operations
benefit from our ability to process numerous crude oils, including
Canadian heavy crude, and the ability to supply products into
markets in the mid-continent and Rocky Mountain areas.
Historically, these areas have provided higher netback prices than
those achieved in either the East or Gulf Coasts," he said. CVR
Energy became a publicly held company trading on the New York Stock
Exchange in October 2007. This first quarter represents the
company's first full quarter of operations as a public company.
"Net income adjusted for unrealized gain or loss from Cash Flow
Swap" was $30.6 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared with
an adjusted net loss of $82.4 million in the first quarter of 2007.
CVR Energy's 2008 first quarter results included $5.8 million of
pretax expense, net of insurance recoveries, associated with a
mid-year flood in 2007. Petroleum Business The petroleum segment
reported first quarter 2008 operating income of $63.6 million on
net sales of $1,168.5 million, compared with an operating loss for
the same period in 2007 of $63.5 million on net sales of $352.5
million. The results for the first quarter of 2008 benefited from a
first-in, first-out (FIFO) accounting gain of $20.0 million
compared with a FIFO gain of $5.2 million in the first quarter of
2007. Crude oil throughput for the quarter averaged 106,530 barrels
per day compared with 47,267 barrels per day for the same period in
2007, which was adversely impacted by the scheduled turnaround.
Refining margin per barrel, including the impact of the FIFO
accounting gain, increased to $13.76 in the first quarter of 2008,
up from $12.69 during the same period in 2007. Gross profit per
barrel increased to $7.50 in the first quarter of 2008, up from a
loss of $12.34 in the same period in 2007. Nitrogen Fertilizer
Business Nitrogen fertilizer operations reported first quarter 2008
operating income of $26.0 million on net sales of $62.6 million,
compared with operating income of $9.3 million on net sales of
$38.6 million during the equivalent period in 2007. Higher prices
for ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) were the most
significant contributors to the increase in operating income and
were partially offset by lower production and higher operating
expenses. For the first quarter 2008, average plant sale prices for
ammonia and UAN were $494 per ton and $262 per ton respectively,
compared with $347 per ton and $169 per ton respectively for the
equivalent period in 2007. Nitrogen Fertilizers produced 83,700
tons of ammonia and 150,100 tons of UAN during the first quarter of
2008, compared with 86,200 tons of ammonia and 165,700 tons of UAN
in the equivalent period of 2007. This news release contains

89.4% (1) Represents the approximate net costs associated with the
flood and oil spill that are not probable of recovery from
insurance. (2) Net income (loss) adjusted for net unrealized loss
from Cash Flow Swap results from adjusting for the derivative
transaction that was executed in conjunction with the acquisition
of Coffeyville Group Holdings, LLC by Coffeyville Acquisition LLC
on June 24, 2005. On June 16, 2005, Coffeyville Acquisition LLC
entered into the Cash Flow Swap with J. Aron, a subsidiary of The
Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., and a related party of ours. The Cash
Flow Swap was subsequently assigned from Coffeyville Acquisition
LLC to Coffeyville Resources, LLC on June 24, 2005. The derivative
took the form of three NYMEX swap agreements whereby if crack
spreads fall below the fixed level, J. Aron agreed to pay the
difference to us, and if crack spreads rise above the fixed level,
we agreed to pay the difference to J. Aron. Assuming crude oil
capacity of 115,000 bpd, the Cash Flow Swap represents
approximately 58% and 14% of crude oil capacity for the periods
January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009 and July 1, 2009 through June
30, 2010, respectively. Under the terms of our Credit Facility and
upon meeting specific requirements related to our leverage ratio
and our credit ratings, we may reduce the Cash Flow Swap to 35,000
bpd, or approximately 30% of executed crude oil capacity, for the
period from April 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 and terminate
the Cash Flow Swap in 2009 and 2010. We have determined that the
Cash Flow Swap does not qualify as a hedge for hedge accounting
purposes under current GAAP. As a result, our periodic statements
of operations reflect in each period material amounts of unrealized
gains and losses based on the increases or decreases in market
value of the unsettled position under the swap agreements which is
accounted for as a liability on our balance sheet. As the crack
spreads increase we are required to record an increase in this
liability account with a corresponding expense entry to be made to
our statement of operations. Conversely, as crack spreads decline
we are required to record a decrease in the swap related liability
and post a corresponding income entry to our statement of
operations. Because of this inverse relationship between the
economic outlook for our underlying business (as represented by
crack spread levels) and the income impact of the unrecognized
gains and losses, and given the significant periodic fluctuations
in the amounts of unrealized gains and losses, management utilizes
Net income (loss) adjusted for unrealized loss from Cash Flow Swap
as a key indicator of our business performance. In managing our
business and assessing its growth and profitability from a
strategic and financial planning perspective, management and our
board of directors considers our U.S. GAAP net income results as
well as Net income (loss) adjusted for unrealized loss from Cash
Flow Swap. We believe that Net income (loss) adjusted for
unrealized loss from Cash Flow Swap enhances the understanding of
our results of operations by highlighting income attributable to
our ongoing operating performance exclusive of charges and income
resulting from mark to market adjustments that are not necessarily
indicative of the performance of our underlying business and our
industry. The adjustment has been made for the unrealized loss from
Cash Flow Swap net of its related tax benefit. Net income (loss)
adjusted for unrealized loss from Cash Flow Swap is not a
recognized term under GAAP and should not be substituted for net
income as a measure of our performance but instead should be
utilized as a supplemental measure of financial performance or
liquidity in evaluating our business. Because Net income (loss)
adjusted for unrealized loss from Cash Flow Swap excludes mark to
market adjustments, the measure does not reflect the fair market
value of our Cash Flow Swap in our net income. As a result, the
measure does not include potential cash payments that may be
required to be made on the Cash Flow Swap in the future. Also, our
presentation of this non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies. (3) Refining margin
is a measurement calculated as the difference between net sales and
cost of product sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization).
Refining margin is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is important
to investors in evaluating our refinery's performance as a general
indication of the amount above our cost of product sold that we are
able to sell refined products. Each of the components used in this
calculation (net sales and cost of product sold exclusive of
depreciation and amortization) can be taken directly from our
statement of operations. Our calculation of refining margin may
differ from similar calculations of other companies in our
industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
(4) Plant gate sales per ton represents net sales less freight and
hydrogen revenue divided by sales tons. Plant gate pricing per ton
is shown in order to provide industry comparability. (5) On-stream
factor is the total number of hours operated divided by the total
number of hours in the reporting period.
