DALLAS, Nov. 4, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Holly Corporation (NYSE: HOC) ("Holly" or the "Company") today reported third quarter 2010 financial results.  For the quarter, net income attributable to Holly stockholders was $51.2 million ($0.96 per basic and diluted share) compared to $23.5 million ($0.47 per basic and diluted share) for the third quarter of 2009.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income attributable to Holly stockholders was $89.2 million ($1.68 per basic and $1.67 per diluted share) compared to $60 million ($1.20 per basic and $1.19 per diluted share) for the same period of 2009.

Holly also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.15 per share, payable January 4, 2011 to holders of record on December 20, 2010.

For the quarter, net income attributable to our stockholders increased by $27.7 million compared to the same period of 2009.  This increase was due principally to higher refinery gross margins during the current year third quarter combined with increased sales volumes of produced refined products.  Overall refinery gross margins were $10.41 per produced barrel, a 26% increase compared to $8.27 for the third quarter of 2009.  For the quarter, our overall refinery production levels averaged 230,630 barrels per day ("BPD"), an increase of 24% over the same period of 2009 due principally to increased production from our Tulsa refinery complex since we acquired the east facility in December 2009.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income attributable to our stockholders increased by $29.2 million compared to the same period of 2009.  This increase was due principally to increased sales volumes of produced refined products combined with a slight increase in overall current year-to-date refinery gross margins.  Overall refinery gross margins were $9.10 per produced barrel, a 2% increase compared to $8.90 for the first nine months of 2009.  For the current year-to-date period, our overall refinery production levels averaged 227,060, an increase of 64% over the same period of 2009 due to production from our Tulsa refinery facilities and production increases at our Navajo and Woods Cross refineries.  

"We are pleased with our third quarter results," said Matthew Clifton, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Holly.  "Continued strong diesel cracks at each of our refineries combined with robust gasoline cracks at our Woods Cross refinery and attractive lube margins at our Tulsa refinery helped fuel significant improved year over year third quarter performance.  Unscheduled downtime at certain operating units at our Navajo refinery during the quarter reduced our expected run rate and, accordingly, somewhat limited our capture of solid gross margins at that facility.  

"Progress continues on our Tulsa integration and diesel desulfurization expansion efforts, with expected completion by the end of the first quarter 2011.  The Tulsa projects will reduce emissions and should improve the profit producing potential of what has been a strong profit contributor over the last two quarters.  

"Our affiliated logistic MLP, Holly Energy Partners, had a strong third quarter achieving record quarterly distributable cash flow and EBITDA levels.  Our combined limited partner and general partner distributions during the third quarter were $9.1 million.

"At the end of the third quarter our cash and marketable securities stood at $272 million. Excluding the Holly Energy Partners debt that is non-recourse to Holly, our cash adjusted debt to total capitalization ratio was down to 10%.  Accordingly, our balance sheet ranks as one of the strongest among our independent refining peers.

"In October the product margin environment for our refineries decreased slightly from the average during the third quarter but is strong for this time of year.  Looking forward we feel good about the quality of our assets, our dedicated personnel, the markets we serve and our improving strong financial position," Clifton said.

Sales and other revenues for the third quarter of 2010 were $2,091 million, a 41% increase compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  This increase was due to the effects of a 14% year-over-year increase in third quarter refined product sales prices combined with a 28% increase in volumes of produced refined products sold.  The volume increase was primarily due to volumes attributable to our Tulsa refinery operations.  Cost of products sold was $1,807 million, a 40% increase compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009 due mainly to higher crude oil acquisition costs and increased volumes of produced refined products sold.  

Sales and other revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $6,111.1 million, a 93% increase compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  This increase was due to the effects of a 28% year-over-year increase in year-to-date refined product sales prices combined with a 65% increase in volumes of produced refined products sold.  The volume increase was attributable to our Tulsa refinery operations and year-to-date production increases at our Navajo and Woods Cross refineries.  Cost of products sold was $5,379.1 million, a 100% increase compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009 due mainly to higher crude oil acquisition costs and increased volumes of produced refined products sold.

Operating costs and expenses for the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased mainly due to the inclusion of costs attributable to the operations of our Tulsa refinery facilities.  Interest expense for the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $5 million and $30.3 million, respectively, primarily due to interest incurred on the $300 million Holly senior notes and the $150 million 8.25% senior notes issued by HEP in March 2010.

(1) HEP's credit agreement expires in August 2011, therefore, working capital at September 30, 2010 reflects $157 million of HEP credit agreement borrowings that are classified as current liabilities.  HEP intends to renew its credit agreement prior to expiration and to continue to finance outstanding borrowings, which HEP will then reclassify as long-term debt, to the extent not designated for working capital purposes.  Excluding HEP's $157 million in credit agreement borrowings, working capital was $361.8 million at September 30, 2010.





Segment Information

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.  Intersegment transactions are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements and are included in Consolidations and Eliminations.

The Refining segment includes the operations of our Navajo, Woods Cross and Tulsa refineries and Holly Asphalt Company ("Holly Asphalt").  The Refining segment involves the purchase and refining of crude oil and wholesale and branded marketing of refined products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and specialty lubricant products.  The petroleum products produced by the Refining segment are primarily marketed in the Southwest, Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions of the United States and northern Mexico.  Additionally, the Refining segment includes specialty lubricant products produced at our Tulsa refinery that are marketed throughout North America and are distributed in Central and South America.  Holly Asphalt 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.  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, Utah and Oklahoma.  Revenues are generated by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through its pipelines, by leasing certain pipeline capacity to Alon USA, Inc., by charging fees for terminalling refined products and other hydrocarbons, and storing and providing other services at its storage tanks and terminals. The HEP segment also includes a 25% interest in SLC Pipeline LLC ("SLC Pipeline") that services refineries in the Salt Lake City, Utah area.  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.

(1) Crude charge represents the barrels per day of crude oil processed at our refineries.

(2) Refinery production represents the barrels per day of refined products yielded from processing crude and other refinery feedstocks through the crude units and other conversion units at our refineries.

(3) Includes refined products purchased for resale.

(4) Represents crude charge divided by total crude capacity (BPSD).  Our consolidated crude capacity was increased by 15,000 BPSD effective April 1, 2009 (our Navajo refinery expansion), 85,000 BPSD effective June 1, 2009 (our Tulsa Refinery west facility acquisition) and 40,000 BPSD effective December 1, 2009 (our Tulsa refinery east facility acquisition), increasing our consolidated crude capacity to 256,000 BPSD.

(5) Represents average per barrel amount for produced refined products sold, which is a non-GAAP measure.  Reconciliations to amounts reported under GAAP are provided under "Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" below.

(6) Transportation, terminal and refinery storage costs billed from HEP are included in cost of products.  

(7) Represents operating expenses of our refineries, exclusive of depreciation and amortization.

(8) The amounts reported for the Tulsa Refinery for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 include crude oil processed and products yielded from the Tulsa Refinery west facility for the period from June 1, 2009 (date of Tulsa Refinery west facility acquisition) through September 30, 2009 only, and averaged over the 273 days for the nine months ended.  





Operating data for the period from June 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009 is as follows:

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 attributable to Holly Corporation stockholders plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation and amortization.  EBITDA is not a calculation provided for under 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 from continuing operations.

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 and amortization.  Each of these component performance measures can be reconciled directly to our Consolidated 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 all of our refineries on a consolidated basis is calculated as shown below.

(1) The above calculations of refined product sales from produced products sold can also be computed on a consolidated basis.  These amounts may not calculate exactly due to rounding of reported numbers.

(2) We purchase finished products when opportunities arise that provide a profit on the sale of such products, or to meet delivery commitments.

(3) We purchase crude oil that at times exceeds the supply needs of our refineries. Quantities in excess of our needs are sold at market prices to purchasers of crude oil that are recorded on a gross basis with the sales price recorded as revenues and the corresponding acquisition cost as inventory and then upon sale as cost of products sold.  Additionally, we enter into buy/sell exchanges of crude oil with certain parties to facilitate the delivery of quantities to certain locations that are netted at carryover cost.
