SUGAR LAND, Texas, Aug. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CVI) today announced net income of $165 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, on net sales of $3.1 billion for the second quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss of $6 million, or 6 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1.8 billion for the second quarter of 2021. Second quarter 2022 EBITDA was $401 million, compared to second quarter 2021 EBITDA of $102 million.
“CVR Energy’s second quarter 2022 results were driven by higher group diesel crack spreads and higher nitrogen-based fertilizer pricing, offset somewhat by lower refining throughput volumes due to the Wynnewood refinery’s planned turnaround and conversion of its hydrocracker to renewable diesel service, lower fertilizer sales volumes and a legal accrual in our corporate segment,” said Dave Lamp, CVR Energy’s Chief Executive Officer. “CVR Energy also announced a second quarter 2022 cash dividend of 40 cents per share as well as a special dividend of $2.60 per share while CVR Partners announced a cash distribution of $10.05 per common unit for the 2022 second quarter.”
Petroleum
The Petroleum Segment reported second quarter 2022 operating income of $297 million on net sales of $2.9 billion, compared to an operating loss of $20 million on net sales of $1.6 billion in the second quarter of 2021.
Refining margin per total throughput barrel was $26.10 in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $6.72 during the same period in 2021. The increase in refining margin of $345 million was primarily due to an increase in product crack spreads. The Group 3 2-1-1 crack spread increased by $29.35 per barrel relative to the second quarter of 2021, driven by tight inventory levels and supply concerns due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Petroleum Segment recognized costs to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) of $102 million, or $5.55 per throughput barrel, which excludes the RINs revaluation impact of $51 million, or $2.79 per total throughput barrel, for the second quarter of 2022. This is compared to RFS compliance costs of $115 million, or $5.85 per throughput barrel, which excludes the RINs revaluation impact of $58 million, or $2.92 per total throughput barrel, for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in RFS compliance costs in 2022 was primarily related to a lower renewable volume obligation (“RVO”) for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the 2021 period. The decrease in RINs revaluation in 2022 was a result of decreased RIN prices for the current period and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) revising the 2020 RVO and finalizing the 2021 and 2022 RVOs. Offsetting these impacts for the second quarter of 2022, throughput volumes declined by 15,380 barrels per day (“bpd”) due to the completion of the planned turnaround at the Wynnewood refinery in early April 2022 and the conversion of the Wynnewood hydrocracker to renewable diesel service. The Petroleum Segment also recognized a second quarter 2022 derivative net loss of $61 million, or $3.35 per total throughput barrel, compared to a derivative loss of $2 million, or 9 cents per total throughput barrel, for the second quarter of 2021. Included in this derivative net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was a $22 million unrealized loss due to Group 3 diesel crack swaps, compared to a $37 million unrealized gain for the second quarter of 2021. Further, crude oil prices rose during the quarter, which led to a favorable inventory valuation impact of $37 million, or $2.02 per total throughput barrel, compared to a favorable inventory valuation impact of $36 million, or $1.81 per total throughput barrel, during the second quarter of 2021.
Second quarter 2022 combined total throughput was approximately 201,000 bpd, compared to approximately 217,000 bpd of combined total throughput for the second quarter of 2021. This decrease was due to the completion of the planned turnaround at the Wynnewood refinery in early April 2022 and the conversion of the Wynnewood hydrocracker to renewable diesel service.
Nitrogen Fertilizer
The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment reported operating income of $126 million on net sales of $244 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to operating income of $30 million on net sales of $138 million for the second quarter of 2021.
Second quarter 2022 average realized gate prices for urea ammonia nitrate (“UAN”) showed an improvement over the prior year, up 134 percent to $555 per ton, and ammonia was up 193 percent over the prior year to $1,182 per ton. Average realized gate prices for UAN and ammonia were $237 and $403 per ton, respectively, for the second quarter of 2021.
CVR Partners, LP’s (“CVR Partners”) fertilizer facilities produced a combined 193,000 tons of ammonia during the second quarter of 2022, of which 50,000 net tons were available for sale while the rest was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 331,000 tons of UAN. During the second quarter 2021, the fertilizer facilities produced 217,000 tons of ammonia, of which 70,000 net tons were available for sale while the remainder was upgraded to other fertilizer products, including 334,000 tons of UAN.
Corporate and Other
The Company reported an income tax expense of $66 million, or 21.5 percent of income before income taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to an income tax benefit of $6 million, or 78.4 percent of loss before income taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The fluctuation in income tax was due primarily to changes in pretax earnings and earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest. The fluctuation in effective income tax rate was due primarily to changes in pretax earnings, earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest and a discrete tax benefit recorded in June 2021 for decreases in state income tax rates.
The renewable diesel unit at the Wynnewood refinery successfully began operations in mid-April, with total vegetable oil throughputs for the quarter averaging approximately 3,100 barrels per day.
Cash, Debt and Dividend
Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $893 million at June 30, 2022, an increase of $383 million from December 31, 2021. Consolidated total debt and finance lease obligations were $1.6 billion at June 30, 2022, including $547 million held by the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment.
On June 30, 2022, CVR Refining, LP and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement, dated December 20, 2012 (the “Amendment,” and collectively, the “Petroleum ABL”).

The proceeds of the loans may be used for capital expenditures, working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Petroleum ABL is scheduled to mature on June 30, 2027.
CVR Energy also announced a second quarter 2022 cash dividend of 40 cents per share. In addition, the Company announced a special dividend of $2.60 per share. The quarterly and special dividends, as declared by CVR Energy’s Board of Directors, will be paid on August 22, 2022, to stockholders of record as of August 12, 2022.

Non-GAAP Measures
Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance measures, and reconciliations to those measures, to evaluate current and past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the performance and liquidity measures defined below.
The following are non-GAAP measures we present for the period ended June 30, 2022:
EBITDA - Consolidated net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense.
Petroleum EBITDA and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA - Segment net income (loss) before segment (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), and (iii) depreciation and amortization.
Refining Margin - The difference between our Petroleum Segment net sales and cost of materials and other.
Refining Margin, adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impacts - Refining Margin adjusted to exclude the impact of current period market price and volume fluctuations on crude oil and refined product inventories purchased in prior periods and lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, if applicable. We record our commodity inventories on the first-in-first-out basis. As a result, significant current period fluctuations in market prices and the volumes we hold in inventory can have favorable or unfavorable impacts on our refining margins as compared to similar metrics used by other publicly-traded companies in the refining industry.
Refining Margin and Refining Margin adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impacts, per Throughput Barrel - Refining Margin and Refining Margin adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impacts divided by the total throughput barrels during the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period.
Direct Operating Expenses per Throughput Barrel - Direct operating expenses for our Petroleum Segment divided by total throughput barrels for the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Petroleum EBITDA and Adjusted Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA - EBITDA, Petroleum EBITDA and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA adjusted for certain significant non-cash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our on-going operations or that may obscure our underlying results and trends.
Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share - Earnings (loss) per share adjusted for certain significant non-cash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our on-going operations or that may obscure our underlying results and trends.
Free Cash Flow - Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures and capitalized turnaround expenditures.
Net Debt and Finance Lease Obligations - Net debt and finance lease obligations is total debt and finance lease obligations reduced for cash and cash equivalents.
Total Debt and Net Debt and Finance Lease Obligations to EBITDA Exclusive of Nitrogen Fertilizer - Total debt and net debt and finance lease obligations is calculated as the consolidated debt and net debt and finance lease obligations less the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment’s debt and net debt and finance lease obligations as of the most recent period ended divided by EBITDA exclusive of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment for the most recent twelve-month period.
We present these measures because we believe they may help investors, analysts, lenders and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations and liquidity in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, including but not limited to our operating performance as compared to other publicly-traded companies in the refining and fertilizer industries, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods and our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” included herein for reconciliation of these amounts. Due to rounding, numbers presented within this section may not add or equal to numbers or totals presented elsewhere within this document.
Factors Affecting Comparability of Our Financial Results
Our historical results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable with prior periods or to our results of operations in the future for the reasons discussed below.

(1) Reflects our ammonia utilization rates on a consolidated basis. Utilization is an important measure used by management to assess operational output at each of the Partnership’s facilities. Utilization is calculated as actual tons produced divided by capacity. We present our utilization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and take into account the impact of our current turnaround cycles on any specific period. Additionally, we present utilization solely on ammonia production rather than each nitrogen product as it provides a comparative baseline against industry peers and eliminates the disparity of plant configurations for upgrade of ammonia into other nitrogen products. With our efforts being primarily focused on ammonia upgrade capabilities, this measure provides a meaningful view of how well we operate.

(1) The Petroleum Segment’s basis for determining inventory value under GAAP is First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”). Changes in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in a favorable inventory valuation impact when crude oil prices increase and an unfavorable inventory valuation impact when crude oil prices decrease. The inventory valuation impact is calculated based upon inventory values at the beginning of the accounting period and at the end of the accounting period. In order to derive the inventory valuation impact per total throughput barrel, we utilize the total dollar figures for the inventory valuation impact and divide by the number of total throughput barrels for the period.
