CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CVI, “CVR Energy” or the “Company”) today
announced a net loss attributable to CVR Energy stockholders of
$124 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, and an EBITDA loss of $35
million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to net income
attributable to CVR Energy stockholders of $353 million, or $3.51
per diluted share, and EBITDA of $530 million for the third quarter
of 2023. Excluding the adjustments shown in the corresponding
earnings release tables, adjusted loss per diluted share for the
third quarter of 2024 was 50 cents and adjusted EBITDA was $63
million, compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.89
and adjusted EBITDA of $313 million in the third quarter of 2023.
“CVR Energy’s 2024 third quarter earnings
results for its refining business were impacted by reduced refining
throughputs attributable to unplanned downtime at both facilities
partially caused by external power supply outages during the
quarter,” said Dave Lamp, CVR Energy’s Chief Executive Officer.
“The Board’s decision to suspend the quarterly dividend reflects
its concerns on just how long the current margin environment will
persist in light of the Company’s large, planned turnaround at its
Coffeyville refinery in the first quarter of 2025.
“CVR Partners achieved solid operating results
for the third quarter of 2024 driven by safe, reliable operations
and a combined ammonia production rate of 97 percent,” Lamp said.
“CVR Partners was pleased to declare a third quarter 2024 cash
distribution of $1.19 per common unit.”
Petroleum
The Petroleum Segment reported a third quarter
2024 net loss of $110 million and an EBITDA loss of $75 million,
compared to net income of $460 million and EBITDA of $484 million
for the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the Petroleum
Segment was $24 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to
$281 million for the third quarter of 2023.
Combined total throughput for the third quarter
of 2024 was approximately 189,000 barrels per day (bpd) compared to
approximately 212,000 bpd of combined total throughput for the
third quarter of 2023.
Refining margin for the third quarter of 2024
was $44 million, or $2.53 per total throughput barrel, compared to
$607 million, or $31.05 per total throughput barrel, during
the same period in 2023. Included in our third quarter 2024
refining margin were unfavorable mark-to-market impacts on our
outstanding RFS obligation of $59 million, unfavorable derivative
impacts of $9 million from open crack spread swap positions
and unfavorable inventory valuation impacts of $31 million.
Excluding these items, adjusted refining margin for the third
quarter of 2024 was $8.23 per barrel, compared to an adjusted
refining margin per barrel of $20.73 for the third quarter of 2023.
The decrease in adjusted refining margin per barrel was primarily
due to a decrease in the Group 3 2-1-1 crack spread.
Nitrogen Fertilizer
The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment reported net
income of $4 million and EBITDA of $36 million on net
sales of $125 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to
net income of $1 million and EBITDA of $32 million on net
sales of $131 million for the third quarter of 2023.
Production at CVR Partners, LP’s (“CVR
Partners”) fertilizer facilities decreased slightly compared to the
third quarter of 2023, producing a combined 212,000 tons of ammonia
during the third quarter of 2024, of which 61,000 net tons were
available for sale while the rest was upgraded to other fertilizer
products, including 321,000 tons of urea ammonia nitrate (“UAN”).
During the third quarter of 2023, the fertilizer facilities
produced a combined 217,000 tons of ammonia, of which 68,000 net
tons were available for sale while the remainder was upgraded to
other fertilizer products, including 358,000 tons of UAN.
For the third quarter 2024, average realized
gate prices for UAN showed an improvement compared to the prior
year, up 3 percent to $229 per ton, and ammonia was up 9 percent
over the prior year to $399 per ton. Average realized gate
prices for UAN and ammonia were $223 and $365 per ton,
respectively, for the third quarter of 2023.
Corporate and Other
The Company reported an income tax benefit of $6
million, or 4.6 percent of loss before income taxes, for the three
months ended September 30, 2024, compared to an income tax expense
of $84 million, or 19.3 percent of income before income taxes, for
the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in income
tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in overall pretax
earnings while the change in the effective tax rate was primarily
due to changes in pretax earnings attributable to noncontrolling
interest and the impact of federal and state tax credits and
incentives in relation to overall pretax earnings.
The renewable diesel unit at the Wynnewood
refinery had total vegetable oil throughputs for the third quarter
of 2024 of approximately 19.6 million gallons, down from 23.8
million gallons in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was
primarily due to running the unit at lower utilization rates in the
current period in an effort to optimize catalyst life.
Cash, Debt and Dividend
Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $534
million at September 30, 2024, a decrease of $47 million from
December 31, 2023. Consolidated total debt and finance lease
obligations were $1.6 billion at September 30, 2024, including $548
million held by the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment.
CVR Energy will not pay a cash dividend for the
third quarter of 2024.
Today, CVR Partners announced that the Board of
Directors of its general partner declared a third quarter 2024 cash
distribution of $1.19 per common unit, which will be paid on
November 18, 2024, to common unitholders of record as of
November 8, 2024.

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.
As a result of continuing volatile market
conditions and the impacts certain non-cash items may have on the
evaluation of our operations and results, the Company began
disclosing the Adjusted Refining Margin non-GAAP measure, as
defined below, in the second quarter of 2024. We believe the
presentation of this non-GAAP measure is meaningful to compare our
operating results between periods and better aligns with our peer
companies. All prior periods presented have been conformed to the
definition below.
The following are non-GAAP measures we present
for the periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
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.
Adjusted Refining Margin - Refining Margin
adjusted for certain significant noncash items and items that
management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our
underlying operational results of the period or that may obscure
results and trends we deem useful.
Refining Margin and Adjusted Refining Margin,
per Throughput Barrel - Refining Margin and Adjusted Refining
Margin 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, Petroleum Adjusted EBITDA and
Nitrogen Fertilizer Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA, Petroleum EBITDA and
Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA adjusted for certain significant noncash
items and items that management believes are not attributable to or
indicative of our underlying operational results of the period or
that may obscure results and trends we deem useful.
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 underlying operational results of the period or
that may obscure results and trends we deem useful.
Free Cash Flow - Net cash provided by (used in)
operating activities less capital expenditures and capitalized
turnaround expenditures.
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
Petroleum Segment
Our results of operations for the periods
presented may not be comparable with prior periods or to our
results of operations in the future due to capitalized expenditures
as part of planned turnarounds. Total capitalized expenditures were
$3 million and $2 million during the three months ended September
30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $45 million and $53 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023,
respectively. The next planned turnaround is currently scheduled to
take place in the first quarter of 2025 at the Coffeyville
refinery.

_________________
(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 CVR Partners’
facilities. Utilization is calculated as actual tons produced
divided by capacity. We present our utilization for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 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.Sales and Production Data

_________________
(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.
