•
Third quarter income from operations of $151.9 million (excluding special items, third quarter income from operations of $165.8 million)
•
Declares quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share
•
Chalmette coker project complete and the unit is in the start-up process
•
Martinez refinery acquisition expected to close during the first quarter of 2020

PARSIPPANY, NJ - October 31, 2019 - PBF Energy Inc. (NYSE:PBF) today reported third quarter 2019 income from operations of $151.9 million as compared to income from operations of $286.3 million for the third quarter of 2018. Excluding special items, third quarter 2019 income from operations was $165.8 million as compared to income from operations of $232.3 million for the third quarter of 2018. PBF Energy's financial results reflect the consolidation of PBF Logistics LP (NYSE: PBFX), a master limited partnership of which PBF indirectly owns the general partner and approximately 48% of the limited partner interests as of quarter-end.

The company reported third quarter 2019 net income of $86.3 million and net income attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $69.5 million or $0.57 per share. This compares to net income of $192.5 million, and net income attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $179.6 million or $1.50 per share for the third quarter 2018. Special items included in the third quarter 2019 results, which decreased net income by a net, after-tax loss of $10.2 million, or $0.09 per share, consisted of a lower-of-cost-or-market ("LCM") inventory adjustment and a gain on land sale at our Torrance refinery. Adjusted fully-converted net income for the third quarter 2019, excluding special items, was $80.1 million, or $0.66 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis, as described below, compared to adjusted fully-converted net income of $135.6 million or $1.13 per share, for the third quarter 2018.

Tom Nimbley, PBF Energy's Chairman and CEO, said, “PBF's strong results and operating cash flow in the third quarter reflects the benefit of our strategic decision to front-load our maintenance activity during the first half of 2019. All of our refineries operated well and we generated solid financial results despite a volatile market.” Mr. Nimbley continued, “We have had a good start to the fourth quarter and I am excited to announce that our second Chalmette coker is in the start-up process and the project was completed on time and on budget. We continue to progress towards the closing of the Martinez refinery acquisition and are looking forward to welcoming the Martinez employees to the PBF family.”

Martinez Refinery Acquisition
On June 11, 2019, PBF announced that its subsidiary signed a definitive agreement to purchase the 157,000 barrel-per-day Martinez refinery, and related logistics assets, from Equilon Enterprises LLC d/b/a Shell Oil Products US (the “Seller” or “Shell”). With the closing of the acquisition, PBF’s total throughput capacity will increase to over one million barrels per day and its refining system will have a consolidated Nelson Complexity of 12.8.

The Martinez transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2020, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
 
PBF Energy Inc. Declares Dividend
The company announced today that it will pay a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share of Class A common stock on November 26, 2019, to holders of record at the close of business on November 14, 2019.

Outlook
For the fourth quarter 2019, we expect East Coast total throughput to average 340,000 to 360,000 barrels per day; Mid-Continent total throughput is expected to average 150,000 to 160,000 barrels per day; Gulf Coast total throughput is expected to average 170,000 to 180,000 barrels per day and West Coast total throughput is expected to average 170,000 to 180,000 barrels per day.

Adjusted Fully-Converted Results
Adjusted fully-converted results assume the exchange of all PBF Energy Company LLC Series A Units and dilutive securities into shares of PBF Energy Inc. Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, resulting in the elimination of the noncontrolling interest and a corresponding adjustment to the company's tax provision.

Non-GAAP Measures
This earnings release, and the discussion during the management conference call, may include references to Non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures including Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income, Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income excluding special items, Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income per fully-exchanged, fully-diluted share, Income from operations excluding special items, gross refining margin, gross refining margin excluding special items, gross refining margin per barrel of throughput, EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization), EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA. PBF believes that Non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about its operating performance and financial results. However, these measures have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be viewed in isolation or considered as alternatives for, or superior to, comparable GAAP financial measures. PBF's Non-GAAP financial measures may also differ from similarly named measures used by other companies. See the accompanying tables and footnotes in this release for additional information on the Non-GAAP measures used in this release and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

PBF ENERGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES
FOOTNOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES
 
(1) Adjusted fully-converted information is presented in this table as management believes that these Non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare our results across the periods presented and facilitates an understanding of our operating results. We also use these measures to evaluate our operating performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The differences between adjusted fully-converted and GAAP results are explained in footnotes 2 through 6.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(2) Represents the elimination of the noncontrolling interest associated with the ownership by the members of PBF Energy Company LLC ("PBF LLC") other than PBF Energy Inc., as if such members had fully exchanged their PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy's Class A common stock.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(3) Represents an adjustment to reflect PBF Energy’s estimated annualized statutory corporate tax rate of approximately 26.5% and 26.4% for the 2019 and 2018 periods, respectively, applied to net income attributable to noncontrolling interest for all periods presented. The adjustment assumes the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in footnote 2.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(4) The Non-GAAP measures presented include adjusted fully-converted net income excluding special items, income from operations excluding special items, EBITDA excluding special items and gross refining margin excluding special items. Special items presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 relate to a lower of cost or market ("LCM") inventory adjustment and gain on sale of assets related to the Torrance land sale. Special items presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 relate to a lower of cost or market ("LCM") inventory adjustment, gain on sale of assets related to the Torrance land sale, changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and charges associated with the early return of certain leased railcars, all as discussed further below. Additionally, the cumulative effects of all prior period special items on equity are shown in footnote 13.

Although we believe that Non-GAAP financial measures excluding the impact of special items provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the results and performance of our business and allow for useful period-over-period comparisons, such Non-GAAP measures should only be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Special Items:

LCM inventory adjustment - LCM is a GAAP requirement related to inventory valuation that mandates inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or market. Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using last-in, first-out ("LIFO") inventory valuation methodology, in which the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost of sales and inventories are valued at base layer acquisition costs. Market is determined based on an assessment of the current estimated replacement cost and net realizable selling price of the inventory. In periods where the market price of our inventory declines substantially, cost values of inventory may exceed market values. In such instances, we record an adjustment to write down the value of inventory to market value in accordance with GAAP. In subsequent periods, the value of inventory is reassessed and an LCM inventory adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between the prior period and the current period.

Gain on Torrance land sale - During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, we recorded gains on the sale of two separate parcels of real property acquired as part of the Torrance refinery, but not part of the refinery itself. The gain increased income from operations and net income by $33.1 million and $24.3 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The gain increased income from operations and net income by $43.8 million and $32.2 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2018.
 
Change in Tax Receivable Agreement liability - During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 we recorded a change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability that increased income before income taxes and net income by $7.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability reflect charges or benefits attributable to changes in our obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement due to factors out of our control such as changes in tax rates. There was no change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
 
Early Return of Railcars - During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 we recognized certain expenses within Cost of sales associated with the voluntary early return of certain leased railcars. These charges decreased income from operations and net income by $44.6 million and $32.8 million, respectively. There were no such expenses in the same periods of 2019.
 
(5) Represents an adjustment to weighted-average diluted shares outstanding to assume the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in footnote 2 above.
 
(6) Represents weighted-average diluted shares outstanding assuming the conversion of all common stock equivalents, including options and warrants for PBF LLC Series A Units and performance share units and options for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock as calculated under the treasury stock method (to the extent the impact of such exchange would not be anti-dilutive) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of options, warrants and performance share units to purchase 7,739,275 and 6,003,867 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of options and warrants to purchase 15,000 and 25,000 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. For periods showing a net loss, all common stock equivalents and unvested restricted stock are considered anti-dilutive.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(7) EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before adjustments for items such as stock-based compensation expense, the non-cash change in the fair value of catalyst leases, the write down of inventory to the LCM, changes in the liability for Tax Receivable Agreement due to factors out of our control such as changes in tax rates, debt extinguishment costs related to refinancing activities, and certain other non-cash items. We use these Non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to our GAAP results in order to provide additional metrics on factors and trends affecting our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures of operating performance that are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have their limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(8) We operate in two reportable segments: Refining and Logistics. Our operations that are not included in the Refining and Logistics segments are included in Corporate. As of September 30, 2019, the Refining segment includes the operations of our oil refineries and related facilities in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, New Orleans, Louisiana and Torrance, California. The Logistics segment includes the operations of PBF Logistics LP ("PBFX"), a growth-oriented master limited partnership which owns or leases, operates, develops and acquires crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX's assets primarily consist of rail and truck terminals and unloading racks, storage facilities and pipelines, a substantial portion of which were acquired from or contributed by PBF LLC and are located at, or nearby, our refineries. PBFX provides various rail, truck and marine terminaling services, pipeline transportation services and storage services to PBF Holding and/or its subsidiaries and third party customers through fee-based commercial agreements.

PBFX currently does not generate significant third party revenue and intersegment related-party revenues are eliminated in consolidation. From a PBF Energy perspective, our chief operating decision maker evaluates the Logistics segment as a whole without regard to any of PBFX’s individual operating segments.

(10) Gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel of throughput are Non-GAAP measures because they exclude refinery operating expenses, depreciation and amortization and gross margin of PBFX. Gross refining margin per barrel is gross refining margin, divided by total crude and feedstocks throughput. We believe they are important measures of operating performance and provide useful information to investors because gross refining margin per barrel is a helpful metric comparison to the industry refining margin benchmarks shown in the Market Indicators Tables, as the industry benchmarks do not include a charge for refinery operating expenses and depreciation. Other companies in our industry may not calculate gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel in the same manner. Gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel of throughput have their limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
 
(11) Represents refinery operating expenses, including corporate-owned logistics assets, excluding depreciation and amortization, divided by total crude oil and feedstocks throughput.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(12) We define heavy crude oil as crude oil with American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity less than 24 degrees. We define medium crude oil as crude oil with API gravity between 24 and 35 degrees. We define light crude oil as crude oil with API gravity higher than 35 degrees.

15




(13) The total debt to capitalization ratio is calculated by dividing total debt by the sum of total debt and total equity. This ratio is a measurement that management believes is useful to investors in analyzing our leverage. Net debt and the net debt to capitalization ratio are Non-GAAP measures. Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from total debt. We believe these measurements are also useful to investors since we have the ability to and may decide to use a portion of our cash and cash equivalents to retire or pay down our debt. Additionally, we have also presented the total debt to capitalization and net debt to capitalization ratios excluding the cumulative effects of special items on equity.

(14) On April 24, 2019, PBFX entered into a contribution agreement with PBF LLC (the "TVPC Contribution Agreement"), pursuant to which PBF LLC contributed to PBFX all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVP Holding Company LLC (“TVP Holding”). Prior to the TVPC Acquisition, TVP Holding owned a 50% membership interest in TVPC. Subsequent to the closing of the TVPC Acquisition on May 31, 2019, PBFX owns 100% of the membership interest in TVPC.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(15) Prior to the TVPC Contribution Agreement, the Logistics segment included 100% of the income from operations of TVPC, as TVPC was consolidated by PBFX. PBFX recorded net income attributable to noncontrolling interest for the 50% equity interest in TVPC held by PBF Holding. PBF Holding (included in the Refining segment) recorded equity income in investee related to its 50% noncontrolling ownership interest in TVPC. For purposes of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, PBF Holding’s equity income in investee and PBFX’s net income attributable to noncontrolling interests eliminated in consolidation.
 
(16) Prior to the TVPC Contribution Agreement, the Logistics segment included 100% of the assets of TVPC, as TVPC was consolidated by PBFX. PBFX recorded a noncontrolling interest for the 50% equity interest in TVPC held by PBF Holding. PBF Holding (included in the Refining segment) recorded an equity investment in TVPC reflecting its noncontrolling ownership interest. For purposes of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, PBFX’s noncontrolling interest in TVPC and PBF Holding’s equity investment in TVPC eliminated in consolidation.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(17) The Logistics segment includes capital expenditures of $58.0 million for the acquisition of the Knoxville Terminals by PBFX on April 16, 2018.
