DALLAS, May 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Holly Corporation
(NYSE: HOC) ("Holly" or the "Company") today reported first quarter
2011 financial results. For the quarter, net income
attributable to Holly stockholders was $84.7
million ($1.59 per basic and
$1.58 per diluted share) compared to
a net loss of $28.1 million
($0.53 per basic and diluted share)
for the first quarter of 2010.
For the quarter, net income attributable to our stockholders
increased by $112.8 million compared
to the same period of 2010. This increase was due principally
to the effects of significantly higher refinery gross margins
during the current year first quarter. This factor was somewhat
offset by decreased sales volumes of produced refined products.
Overall refinery gross margins were $15.72 per produced barrel, a 183% increase
compared to $5.56 for the first
quarter of 2010. For the quarter, our overall refinery
production levels averaged 209,500 barrels per day ("BPD"), a 3%
decrease over the same period of 2010 due principally to the
effects of unplanned production downtime at our Navajo refinery during the quarter, partially
offset by increased production at the Tulsa refinery.
"We are very pleased with our first quarter results, reflecting
one of the most profitable quarters in Holly's history – despite
lower throughput rates at our Navajo refinery due to unscheduled downtime
during the quarter," said Matthew
Clifton, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
of Holly. "Significant year-over-year margin improvements at
each of our refineries, contributed to the much improved EBITDA
levels of $181.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2011,
compared to $0.7 million for the same
period of 2010. Our Tulsa refinery, aided by strong
transportation fuel cracks and attractive lube margins, was our
strongest contributor with over $78
million in EBITDA during the quarter.
"Our processing of 100% lower priced WTI related crudes combined
with strong diesel cracks and unseasonably robust gasoline cracks
at all of our refineries helped fuel these improved results.
As a result, refinery gross margins in the 2011 first quarter
were at historically high levels, significantly better than the low
margins experienced in early 2010.
"As we start the second quarter, continued discounts on WTI
price related crudes compared to world oil prices and higher
gasoline and diesel cracks have improved the gross margins at all
three refineries relative to the first quarter. Production at
our Navajo refinery has returned
to planned levels after being reduced during the first quarter due
to the resultant impacts of a plant-wide power failure and bad
weather. At Tulsa, our west crude unit was brought down last
week to address a mechanical problem. We expect to return this unit
to service early next week. This unscheduled downtime should
have a limited effect on the quarter due to our ability to augment
production by reducing intermediate feedstock inventories during
the downtime and by running at slightly higher crude rates for the
remainder of the quarter.
"We have completed the diesel desulfurization project at our
Tulsa refinery, and progress
continues on our integration efforts in Tulsa with the pipeline integration expected
to be mechanically complete later this summer. We expect
these projects to lower operating expenses and improve the profit
producing potential of what has been a strong profit contributor
since last spring.
"At March 31, 2011 our cash and
marketable securities stood at $293
million. Excluding the Holly Energy Partners cash and
debt that is non-recourse to Holly, our cash adjusted debt to total
capitalization ratio was at 7%, ranking our balance sheet as one of
the strongest among our independent refining peers," Clifton
said.
Sales and other revenues for the first quarter of 2010 were
$2,326.6 million, a 24% increase
compared to the three months ended March 31,
2010. This increase was due to the effects of a 30%
year-over-year increase in first quarter refined product sales
prices that was partially offset by a 3% decrease in overall
volumes of produced refined products sold. The volume
decrease was primarily due to the effects of unplanned production
downtime at our Navajo refinery
during the current year first quarter. Cost of products sold
was $1,984.6 million, a 15% increase
compared to the first quarter of 2010 due mainly to higher crude
oil acquisition costs, partially offset by a decrease in volumes of
produced refined products sold.
The Company has scheduled a webcast conference call for today,
May 5, 2011, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time to discuss financial
results. This webcast may be accessed at:

An audio archive of this webcast will be available using the
above noted link through May 18,
2011.

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, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, 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.

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

(2)
|
Refinery throughput represents
the barrels per day of crude and other refinery feedstocks
input to the crude units and other conversion units at our
refinery.
|
|

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. Refinery production
excludes fuel produced for refinery consumption.
|

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.

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.

|
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.

Other refining segment revenue
includes the incremental revenues associated with Holly Asphalt and
revenue derived from feedstock and sulfur credit
sales.
