Each Registrant hereto is filing on its own behalf all of the information contained in this report that relates to such Registrant. Each Registrant hereto is not filing any information that does not relate to such Registrant, and therefore makes no representation as to any such information. PBF Energy is a holding company whose primary asset is an equity interest in PBF LLC. PBF Energy is the sole managing member of, and owner of an equity interest representing approximately 99.2% of the outstanding economic interests in PBF LLC as of March 31, 2022.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements”, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”), of expected future developments that involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that relate to our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results or to our strategies, objectives, intentions, resources and expectations regarding future industry trends are forward-looking statements made under the safe harbor provisions of the PSLRA except to the extent such statements relate to the operations of a partnership or limited liability company. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, which we refer to as “cautionary statements,” are disclosed under “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 of PBF Energy and PBF LLC, which we refer to as our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include:
supply, demand, prices and other market conditions for our products or crude oil, including volatility in commodity prices or constraints arising from federal, state or local governmental actions or environmental and/or social activists that reduce crude oil production or availability in the regions in which we operate our pipelines and facilities;
the effectiveness of our crude oil sourcing strategies, including our crude by rail strategy and related commitments;
our obligation to buy Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) and market risks related to the volatility in the price of RINs required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard and greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emission credits required to comply with various GHG emission programs, such as Assembly Bill 32 (“AB 32”);
our ability to operate our businesses efficiently, manage capital expenditures and costs (including general and administrative expenses) and generate earnings and cash flow;
our expectations with respect to our capital improvement and turnaround projects;
the effect of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, including resurgences and variants of the virus, as well as related governmental and consumer responses on our business, financial condition and results of operations;
the impact of current and future laws, rulings and governmental regulations, including restrictions on the exploration and/or production of crude oil in the state of California, the implementation of rules and regulations regarding transportation of crude oil by rail or in response to the potential impacts of climate change, decarbonization and future energy transition;
4


adverse impacts related to legislation by the federal government lifting the restrictions on exporting U.S. crude oil or subjecting us to trade and sanctions laws, which change frequently as a result of foreign policy developments, and which may necessitate changes to our crude oil acquisition activities;
our ability to target and execute expense reduction measures and achieve opportunities to improve our liquidity, including continued repurchases of our outstanding debt securities or otherwise further reducing our debt, and/or potential sales of non-operating assets or other real property;
political pressure and influence of environmental groups and other stakeholders on decisions and policies related to the refining and processing of crude oil and refined products, and the related adverse impacts from changes in our regulatory environment, such as the effects of compliance with AB 32, or from actions taken by environmental interest groups;
the risk of cyber-attacks;
our increased dependence on technology;
the effects of competition in our markets;
the possibility that we may not reinstate dividend payments;
the inability of our subsidiaries to freely pay dividends or make distributions to us;
our ability to make acquisitions or investments, including in renewable diesel production, on any announced time frame or at all, and to realize the benefits from such acquisitions or investments;
liabilities arising from recent acquisitions or investments that are unforeseen or exceeded our expectation;
our expectations and timing with respect to our acquisition activity and whether such acquisitions are accretive or dilutive to shareholders;
adverse developments in our relationship with both our key employees and unionized employees;
our substantial indebtedness, including the impact of potential downgrades to our corporate credit rating, secured notes and unsecured notes;
changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and capital costs;
restrictive covenants in our indebtedness that may adversely affect our operational flexibility;
counterparty credit and performance risk exposure related to our supply and inventory intermediation arrangements;
termination of our third amended and restated inventory intermediation agreement (“Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement”) with J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“J. Aron”), which is scheduled to expire in December 2024 and could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, as we would be required to finance our crude oil, intermediate and refined products inventory covered by the agreement. Additionally, we are obligated to repurchase from J. Aron certain crude oil, intermediates and finished products (the “J. Aron Products”) upon termination of the agreement;
payments by PBF Energy to the current and former holders of PBF LLC Series A Units and PBF LLC Series B Units under PBF Energy’s tax receivable agreement entered with the PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B unitholders (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) for certain tax benefits we may claim;
5


our assumptions regarding payments arising under PBF Energy’s Tax Receivable Agreement and other arrangements relating to our organizational structure are subject to change due to various factors, including, among other factors, the timing of exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock as contemplated by the Tax Receivable Agreement, the price of PBF Energy Class A common stock at the time of such exchanges, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable, and the amount and timing of our income;
the impact of disruptions to crude or feedstock supply to any of our refineries, including disruptions related to PBFX or with third-party logistics infrastructure or operations, including pipeline, marine and rail transportation;
risks associated with the operation of PBFX as a separate, publicly-traded entity;
potential tax consequences related to our investment in PBFX; and
any decisions we continue to make with respect to our energy-related logistics assets that may be transferred to PBFX.
We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all of the material factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q may not in fact occur. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on those statements.
Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of the Business
PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) is the sole managing member of PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”), which has a controlling interest in PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries and records a noncontrolling interest in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements representing the economic interests of PBF LLC’s members other than PBF Energy (refer to “Note 9 - Equity”).
PBF Energy holds a 99.2% economic interest in PBF LLC as of March 31, 2022 through its ownership of PBF LLC Series C Units, which are held solely by PBF Energy. Holders of PBF LLC Series A Units, which are held by parties other than PBF Energy (“the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy”), hold the remaining 0.8% economic interest in PBF LLC. The amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC provides that any PBF LLC Series A Units acquired by PBF Energy will automatically be reclassified as PBF LLC Series C Units in connection with such acquisition. PBF LLC, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, owns and operates oil refineries and related facilities in North America.
As of March 31, 2022, PBF LLC also held a 47.9% limited partner interest in PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX”), a publicly-traded master limited partnership (“MLP”) (refer to “Note 2 - PBF Logistics LP”). PBF Energy, through its ownership of PBF LLC, consolidates the financial results of PBFX and its subsidiaries and records a noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements representing the economic interests of PBFX’s unitholders other than PBF LLC (refer to “Note 9 - Equity”). Collectively, PBF Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries, are referred to hereinafter as the “Company” unless the context otherwise requires. Discussions or areas of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that either apply only to PBF Energy or PBF LLC are clearly noted in such footnotes.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the PBF Energy and PBF LLC financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting”. The amendments in this ASU provide optional guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform, by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the expected market transition from London Interbank Offered Rate and other interbank rates. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have, and is not anticipated to have, a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

2. PBF LOGISTICS LP
PBFX is a fee-based, growth-oriented, publicly traded MLP that owns and operates crude oil and refined products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX engages in the processing of crude oil and the receiving, handling, storage and transferring of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and intermediates from sources located throughout the United States and Canada for PBF Energy in support of its refineries, as well as for third-party customers. As of March 31, 2022, a substantial majority of PBFX’s revenues are derived from long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with PBF Holding, which include minimum volume commitments for receiving, handling, storing and transferring crude oil, refined products and natural gas. PBF Energy also has agreements with PBFX that establish fees for certain general and administrative services and operational and maintenance services provided by PBF Holding to PBFX. These transactions, other than those with third parties, are eliminated by PBF Energy and PBF LLC in consolidation.
PBFX, a variable interest entity, is consolidated by PBF Energy through its ownership of PBF LLC. PBF LLC, through its ownership of PBF Logistics GP LLC (“PBF GP”), has the sole ability to direct the activities of PBFX that most significantly impact its economic performance. PBF LLC is considered to be the primary beneficiary of PBFX for accounting purposes.
With respect to distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2022, PBFX paid a distribution on outstanding common units of $0.30 per unit on March 10, 2022 of which $9.0 million was distributed to PBF LLC and the balance was distributed to its public unitholders.

3. CURRENT EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES

Credit Losses
The Company has exposure to credit losses primarily through its sales of refined products. The Company evaluates creditworthiness on an individual customer basis. The Company utilizes a financial review model for purposes of evaluating creditworthiness which is based on information from financial statements and credit reports. The financial review model enables the Company to assess the customer’s risk profile and determine credit limits on the basis of their financial strength, including but not limited to, their liquidity, leverage, debt serviceability, longevity and how they pay their bills. The Company may require security in the form of letters of credit or cash payments in advance of product delivery for certain customers that are deemed higher risk.
The Company’s payment terms on its trade receivables are relatively short, generally 30 days or less for a substantial majority of its refined products. As a result, the Company’s collection risk is mitigated to a certain extent by the fact that sales are collected in a relatively short period of time, allowing for the ability to reduce exposure on defaults if collection issues are identified. Notwithstanding, the Company reviews each customer’s credit risk profile at least annually or more frequently if warranted.
The Company performs a quarterly allowance for doubtful accounts analysis to assess whether an allowance needs to be recorded for any outstanding trade receivables. In estimating credit losses, management reviews accounts that are past due, have known disputes or have experienced any negative credit events that may result in future collectability issues. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

On October 25, 2021, PBF Holding and its subsidiaries, Delaware City Refining Company LLC, Paulsboro Refining Company LLC and Chalmette Refining, L.L.C. (“Chalmette Refining”) (collectively, the “PBF Entities”), entered into a third amended and restated inventory intermediation agreement (the “Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement”) with J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“J. Aron”), pursuant to which the terms of the existing inventory intermediation agreements were amended and restated in their entirety, including, among other things, pricing and an extension of terms. The Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement extends the term to December 31, 2024, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2025.
Pursuant to the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron will continue to purchase and hold title to certain inventory, including crude oil, intermediate and certain finished products (the “J. Aron Products”) purchased or produced by the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries (and, at the election of the PBF Entities, the Chalmette refinery) (the "Refineries") and delivered into storage tanks at the Refineries (the "Storage Tanks"). The J. Aron Products are sold back to the Company as the J. Aron Products are discharged out of the Storage Tanks. These purchases and sales are settled daily, and pricing is trued-up monthly at the market prices related to those J. Aron Products. These transactions are considered to be made in contemplation of each other and, accordingly, do not result in the recognition of a sale when title passes from the Refineries to J. Aron. Additionally, J. Aron has the right to store the J. Aron Products purchased in Storage Tanks under the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement and will retain these storage rights for the term of the agreement. PBF Holding continues to market and sell the J. Aron Products independently to third parties.
At March 31, 2022 the replacement value of inventories exceeded the last-in, first-out carrying value. There was no lower of cost or market (“LCM”) inventory reserve at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

______________________
(a) The Company is subject to obligations to purchase Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. The Company’s overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). To the degree the Company is unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy its RINs obligation, RINs must be purchased on the open market to avoid penalties and fines. The Company records its RINs obligation on a net basis in Accrued expenses when its RINs liability is greater than the amount of RINs earned and purchased in a given period and in Prepaid and other current assets when the amount of RINs earned and purchased is greater than the RINs liability. In addition, the Company is subject to obligations to comply with federal and state legislative and regulatory measures, including regulations in the state of California pursuant to Assembly Bill 32 (“AB 32”), to address environmental compliance and greenhouse gas and other emissions. These requirements include incremental costs to operate and maintain our facilities as well as to implement and manage new emission controls and programs. Renewable energy credit and emissions obligations fluctuate with the volume of applicable product sales and timing of credit purchases. The Company enters into forward purchase commitments in order to acquire its renewable energy and emissions credits at fixed prices. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had entered into $756.2 million of such forward purchase commitments with respect to its total accrued renewable energy and emissions obligations. Final settlement of the Company’s RINs obligation for annual compliance years 2020 through 2022 are subject to final rule making by EPA. Currently, our obligations are anticipated to require settlement in 2023. The Company’s AB 32 liability is part of a triennial period program which will be settled through 2024.
(b) The Company has the obligation to repurchase the J. Aron Products that are held in its Storage Tanks in accordance with the Inventory Intermediation Agreement with J. Aron. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a liability is recognized for the Inventory Intermediation Agreement and is recorded at market price for the J. Aron owned inventory held in the Company’s Storage Tanks, with any change in the market price being recorded in Cost of products and other.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, PBF LLC had an outstanding note payable with PBF Energy for an aggregate principal amount of $379.7 million and $375.2 million, respectively. The note payable has a maturity date of April 2030, an annual interest rate of 2.5% and may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, at the option of PBF LLC without penalty or premium.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary conduct of the Company’s business, the Company is from time to time subject to lawsuits, investigations and claims, including class action proceedings, mass tort actions, tort actions, environmental claims and employee-related matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but the Company accrues liabilities for these matters if the Company has determined that it is probable a loss has been incurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. For such ongoing matters for which we have not recorded a liability but losses are reasonably possible, we are unable to estimate a range of possible losses at this time due to various reasons that may include but are not limited to, matters being in an early stage and not fully developed through pleadings, discovery or court proceedings, number of potential claimants being unknown or uncertainty regarding a number of different factors underlying the potential claims. However, the ultimate resolution of one or more of these contingencies could result in an adverse outcome that may have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental Matters
The Company’s refineries, pipelines and related operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment (including in response to the potential impacts of climate change), waste management and the characteristics and the compositions of fuels. Compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations can increase the overall cost of operating the refineries, including remediation, operating costs and capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities.
24

PBF ENERGY INC. AND PBF ENERGY COMPANY LLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These laws and permits raise potential exposure to future claims and lawsuits involving environmental and safety matters which could include soil and water contamination, air pollution, personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by substances which the Company manufactured, handled, used, released or disposed of, transported, or that relate to pre-existing conditions for which the Company has assumed responsibility. The Company believes that its current operations are in compliance with existing environmental and safety requirements. However, there have been and will continue to be ongoing discussions about environmental and safety matters between the Company and federal and state authorities, including notices of violations, citations and other enforcement actions, some of which have resulted or may result in changes to operating procedures and in capital expenditures. While it is often difficult to quantify future environmental or safety related expenditures, the Company anticipates that continuing capital investments and changes in operating procedures will be required for the foreseeable future to comply with existing and new requirements, as well as evolving interpretations and more strict enforcement of existing laws and regulations.
In connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, the Company assumed certain pre-existing environmental liabilities. The estimated costs related to these remediation obligations totaled $116.5 million as of March 31, 2022 ($118.5 million as of December 31, 2021), and related primarily to remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and the related monitoring and clean-up activities. Costs related to these obligations are reassessed periodically or when changes to our remediation approach are identified. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in Accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in Other long-term liabilities.
The aggregate environmental liability reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $158.7 million and $157.0 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, of which $144.0 million and $142.1 million, respectively, were classified as Other long-term liabilities. These liabilities include remediation and monitoring costs expected to be incurred over an extended period of time. Estimated liabilities could increase in the future when the results of ongoing investigations become known, are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated.
Contingent Consideration
In connection with the acquisition of the Martinez refinery and related logistics assets, the sale and purchase agreement dated June 11, 2019 includes an earn-out provision based on certain earnings thresholds of the Martinez refinery. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will make payments to the Seller based on future earnings at the Martinez refinery in excess of certain thresholds, as defined in the agreement, for a period of up to four years following the acquisition closing date (the “Martinez Contingent Consideration”). The Company recorded the acquisition date fair value of the earn-out provision as contingent consideration within “Other long-term liabilities” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration was estimated to be $79.5 million as of March 31, 2022 and $29.4 million as of December 31, 2021.
In connection with the PBFX acquisition of CPI Operations LLC from Crown Point International LLC (“Crown Point”) in October 2018, the purchase and sale agreement between PBFX and Crown Point included an earn-out provision related to an existing commercial agreement with a third-party, based on the future results of certain of the acquired idled assets (the “PBFX Contingent Consideration”). PBFX and Crown Point will share equally in the future operating profits of the restarted assets, as defined in the purchase and sale agreement, over a contractual term of up to three years starting in 2019. The PBFX Contingent Consideration recorded was $0.5 million and $2.9 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, representing the present value of expected future payments. The short-term PBFX Contingent Consideration is included in “Accrued expenses” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

PBF Energy entered into a tax receivable agreement with the PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B unitholders (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by PBF Energy to such persons of an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that PBF Energy is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis, as described below, and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the benefits deemed realized by PBF Energy will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of PBF Energy (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that PBF Energy would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC as a result of purchases or exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and had PBF Energy not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless: (i) PBF Energy exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) PBF Energy breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or (iii) certain changes of control occur, in which case all obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally be accelerated and due as calculated under certain assumptions.
The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are obligations of PBF Energy and not of PBF LLC, PBF Holding or PBFX. In general, PBF Energy expects to obtain funding for these annual payments from PBF LLC, primarily through tax distributions, which PBF LLC makes on a pro-rata basis to its owners. Such owners include PBF Energy, which holds a 99.2% interest in PBF LLC as of March 31, 2022 (99.2% as of December 31, 2021). PBF LLC generally obtains funding to pay its tax distributions by causing PBF Holding to distribute cash to PBF LLC and from distributions it receives from PBFX.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recognized liabilities of $67.6 million and $48.3 million related to the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation, reflecting the estimate of the undiscounted amounts that PBF Energy expects to pay under the agreement, net of the impact of any deferred tax asset valuation allowance recognized in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes. As future taxable income is recognized, increases in our Tax Receivable Agreement liability may be necessary in conjunction with the revaluation of deferred tax assets. Refer to “Note 12 - Income Taxes” for more details.

11. REVENUES
As described in “Note 15 - Segment Information”, the Company’s business consists of the Refining segment and Logistics segment. The following table provides information relating to the Company’s revenues for each product or group of similar products or services by segment for the periods presented.
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)20222021
Refining Segment:
Gasoline and distillates $8,037.7 $4,230.1 
Asphalt and blackoils 458.9 215.4 
Feedstocks and other 334.9 212.3 
Chemicals 207.0 194.7 
Lubricants 89.7 60.7 
Total9,128.2 4,913.2 
Logistics Segment:
Logistics89.4 87.5 
Total revenues prior to eliminations 9,217.6 5,000.7 
Elimination of intercompany revenues (75.9)(75.9)
Total Revenues $9,141.7 $4,924.8 
The majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from the sale of refined products reported in the Refining segment. These revenues are largely based on the current spot (market) prices of the products sold, which represent consideration specifically allocable to the products being sold on a given day, and the Company recognizes those revenues upon delivery and transfer of title to the products to our customers. The time at which delivery and transfer of title occurs is the point when the Company’s control of the products is transferred to the Company’s customers and when its performance obligation to its customers is fulfilled. Delivery and transfer of title are specifically agreed to between the Company and customers within the contracts. The Refining segment also has contracts which contain fixed pricing, tiered pricing, minimum volume features with makeup periods, or other factors that have not materially been affected by ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The Company’s Logistics segment revenues are generated by charging fees for crude oil and refined products terminaling, storage and pipeline services based on the greater of contractual minimum volume commitments, as applicable, or the delivery of actual volumes based on contractual rates applied to throughput or storage volumes. A majority of the Company’s logistics revenues are generated by intercompany transactions and are eliminated in consolidation.
Deferred Revenue
The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received or are due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable. Deferred revenue was $56.0 million and $42.7 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Fluctuations in the deferred revenue balance are primarily driven by the timing and extent of cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations.
The Company’s payment terms vary by type and location of customers and the products offered. The period between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant (i.e. generally within two months). For certain products or services and customer types, the Company requires payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer.

12. INCOME TAXES
PBF Energy is required to file federal and applicable state corporate income tax returns and recognizes income taxes on its pre-tax income (loss), which to-date has consisted primarily of its share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income (loss) (approximately 99.2% as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021). PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is an MLP, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income taxes apart from the income tax attributable to the two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the acquisition of Chalmette Refining and PBF Holding’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, PBF Energy Limited, that are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes, with the tax provision calculated based on the effective tax rate for the periods presented.
Valuation Allowance
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of existing deferred tax assets. Negative evidence evaluated as part of this assessment includes cumulative losses incurred over a three-year period. Such objective evidence could limit PBF Energy’s ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as PBF Energy’s projections for future taxable income as market conditions, commodity prices and demand for refined products normalize.
On the basis of this evaluation, a valuation allowance was recorded to recognize only the portion of deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryover period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as PBF Energy’s projections for future taxable income.
The income tax provision in the PBF Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations consists of the following: 
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)20222021
Current income tax benefit$ $(0.7)
Deferred income tax benefit(6.1)(7.7)
Total income tax benefit$(6.1)$(8.4)
The income tax provision is based on earnings (losses) before taxes attributable to PBF Energy and excludes earnings before taxes attributable to noncontrolling interests as such interests are generally not subject to income taxes except as noted above. PBF Energy’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, was 22.4% and 16.9%, respectively.
PBF Energy’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022, including the impact of income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $17.8 million, was 64.9%. PBF Energy’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021, including the impact of income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $19.1 million, was 27.5%.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the difference between the United States statutory rate and PBF Energy’s effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

The tables below present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the inputs utilized to determine the fair values as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The Company has elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented on a gross basis in the tables below. The Company has posted cash margin with various counterparties to support hedging and trading activities. The cash margin posted is required by counterparties as collateral deposits and cannot be offset against the fair value of open contracts except in the event of default. The Company has no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The valuation methods used to measure financial instruments at fair value are as follows:
Money market funds categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices and included within Cash and cash equivalents.
The commodity contracts categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in an active market. The commodity contracts categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon future commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.
The derivatives included with inventory intermediation agreement obligations and the catalyst obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.
Renewable energy credit and emissions obligations primarily represent our liability for the purchase of (i) biofuel credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.) needed to satisfy our obligation to blend biofuels into the products we produce and (ii) emission credits under the AB 32 and similar programs (collectively, the cap-and-trade systems). To the degree we are unable to blend biofuels (such as ethanol and biodiesel) at percentages required under the biofuel programs, we must purchase biofuel credits to comply with these programs. Under the cap-and-trade systems, we must purchase emission credits to comply with these systems. The liability for environmental credits is in part based on our deficit for such credits as of the balance sheet date, if any, after considering any credits acquired or under contract, and is equal to the product of the credits deficit and the market price of these credits as of the balance sheet date. The environmental credit obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.
When applicable, commodity contracts categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy consist of commodity price swap contracts that relate to forecasted purchases of crude oil for which quoted forward market prices are not readily available due to market illiquidity. The forward prices used to value these swaps are derived using broker quotes, prices from other third-party sources and other available market based data.
The contingent consideration obligations at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and are estimated using discounted cash flow models based on management’s estimate of the future cash flows related to the earn-out periods.
Non-qualified pension plan assets are measured at fair value using a market approach based on published net asset values of mutual funds as a practical expedient. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $19.7 million and $20.7 million, respectively, were included within Deferred charges and other assets, net for these non-qualified pension plan assets.
The table below summarizes the changes in fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which primarily includes the change in estimated future earnings related to both the Martinez Contingent Consideration and the PBFX Contingent Consideration:

(a) The estimated fair value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, was calculated based on the present value of future expected payments utilizing implied current market interest rates based on quoted prices of the outstanding senior notes.
(b) The estimated fair value approximates carrying value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, as these borrowings bear interest based upon short-term floating market interest rates.
(c) Catalyst financing arrangements are valued using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets and are categorized as a Level 2 measurement. The Company has elected the fair value option for accounting for its catalyst repurchase obligations as the Company’s liability is directly impacted by the change in fair value of the underlying catalyst.

14. DERIVATIVES
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures to commodity price risk. The Company entered into the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement that contain purchase obligations for certain volumes of crude oil, intermediates and refined products. The purchase obligations related to crude oil, intermediates and refined products under these agreements are derivative instruments that have been designated as fair value hedges in order to hedge the commodity price volatility of certain refinery inventory. The fair value of these purchase obligation derivatives is based on market prices of the underlying crude oil, intermediates and refined products. The level of activity for these derivatives is based on the level of operating inventories.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 2,714,315 and 2,081,783 barrels of crude oil and feedstocks outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, there were 1,881,877 barrels of intermediates and refined products (2,070,550 barrels at December 31, 2021) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges. These volumes represent the notional value of the contract.
The Company also enters into economic hedges primarily consisting of commodity derivative contracts that are not designated as hedges and are used to manage price volatility in certain crude oil and feedstock inventories as well as crude oil, feedstock, and refined product sales or purchases. The objective in entering into economic hedges is consistent with the objectives discussed above for fair value hedges. As of March 31, 2022, there were 41,705,000 barrels of crude oil and 2,225,000 barrels of refined products (36,246,000 and 5,819,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2021), outstanding under short and long term commodity derivative contracts not designated as hedges representing the notional value of the contracts.
The Company also uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risk associated with the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. For such contracts that represent derivatives, the Company elects the normal purchase normal sale exception under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and therefore does not record them at fair value.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s operations are organized into two reportable segments, Refining and Logistics. Operations that are not included in the Refining or Logistics segments are included in Corporate. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and are included in the Eliminations column below.
Refining
The Company’s Refining segment includes the operations of its six refineries, including certain related logistics assets that are not owned by PBFX. The Company’s refineries are located in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Martinez, California. The refineries produce unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants and other petroleum products in the United States. The Company purchases crude oil, other feedstocks and blending components from various third-party suppliers. The Company sells products throughout the Northeast, Midwest, Gulf Coast and West Coast of the United States, as well as in other regions of the United States, Canada and Mexico, and is able to ship products to other international destinations.
Logistics
The Company’s Logistics segment is comprised of PBFX, a publicly-traded MLP, formed to own or lease, operate, develop and acquire crude oil and refined products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX’s assets primarily consist of rail and truck terminals and unloading racks, tank farms and pipelines that were acquired from or contributed by PBF LLC and are located at, or nearby, the Company’s 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 revenues and intersegment related-party revenues are eliminated in consolidation. From a PBF Energy and PBF LLC perspective, the Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the Logistics segment as a whole without regard to any of PBFX’s individual operating segments.
The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on income from operations. Income from operations includes those revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to management of the respective segment. The Logistics segment’s revenues include intersegment transactions with the Company’s Refining segment at prices the Company believes are substantially equivalent to the prices that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. Activities of the Company’s business that are not included in the two operating segments are included in Corporate. Such activities consist primarily of corporate staff operations and other items that are not specific to the normal operations of the two operating segments. The Company does not allocate non-operating income and expense items, including income taxes, to the individual segments. The Refining segment’s operating subsidiaries and PBFX are primarily pass-through entities with respect to income taxes.
Total assets of each segment consist of property, plant and equipment, inventories, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other assets directly associated with the segment’s operations. Corporate assets consist primarily of non-operating property, plant and equipment and other assets not directly related to the Company’s refinery and logistics operations.
Disclosures regarding the Company’s reportable segments with reconciliations to consolidated totals for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 are presented below. In connection with certain contributions by PBF LLC to PBFX, the accompanying segment information is retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of those assets in the Logistics segment for all periods presented prior to such contributions, as applicable.

Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share units and options and warrants to purchase 14,804,565 and 11,699,893 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A units because they are anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. For periods showing a net loss, all common stock equivalents and unvested restricted stock are considered anti-dilutive.

Overview
We are one of the largest independent petroleum refiners and suppliers of unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants and other petroleum products in the United States. We sell our products throughout the Northeast, Midwest, Gulf Coast and West Coast of the United States, as well as in other regions of the United States, Canada and Mexico and are able to ship products to other international destinations. As of March 31, 2022, we own and operate six domestic oil refineries and related assets. Based on the current configuration our refineries have a combined processing capacity, known as throughput, of approximately 1,000,000 barrels per day (“bpd”), and a weighted-average Nelson Complexity Index of 13.2 based on current operating conditions. The complexity and throughput capacity of our refineries are subject to change dependent upon configuration changes we make to respond to market conditions, as well as a result of investments made to improve our facilities and maintain compliance with environmental and governmental regulations. We operate in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. Our six oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and are aggregated into the Refining segment. PBFX operates certain logistics assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, and storage facilities, which are aggregated into the Logistics segment.
Our six refineries are located in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Martinez, California. In 2020, we reconfigured our Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries (the “East Coast Refining Reconfiguration”), temporarily idling certain of our major processing units at the Paulsboro refinery, in order to operate the two refineries as one functional unit that we refer to as the “East Coast Refining System”. Each refinery is briefly described in the table below:

(3) Under normal operating conditions and prevailing market environments, our Nelson Complexity Index and throughput capacity for the Paulsboro refinery would be 13.1 and 180,000, respectively. As a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, our Nelson Complexity Index and throughput capacity were reduced.

As of March 31, 2022, PBF Energy owned 120,638,879 PBF LLC Series C Units and our current and former executive officers and directors and certain employees and others held 927,990 PBF LLC Series A Units (we refer to all of the holders of the PBF LLC Series A Units as “the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy”). As a result, the holders of our issued and outstanding shares of our PBF Energy Class A common stock have approximately 99.2% of the voting power in us, and the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy through their holdings of Class B common stock have approximately 0.8% of the voting power in us (99.2% and 0.8% as of December 31, 2021, respectively).

Business Developments
Recent significant business developments affecting us are discussed below.
Market Developments
We continue to adjust our operational plans to the evolving market conditions and continue to monitor and manage operating expenses through reductions in discretionary activities and third-party services. Market conditions currently include high crude oil prices, tight domestic supplies and elevated refining margins as a result of sustained increases in demand, coupled with global supply disruption related to sanctions imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
We also remain focused on enhancing the profitability and reliability of our core operations. Our full-year refining capital expenditures are expected to range from $500.0 million to $550.0 million. While our refining capital expenditures in 2022 are projected to increase in comparison to 2021, we continue to focus on capital discipline, with turnaround and other mandatory spend accounting for the majority of total planned refining capital expenses for 2022. Consistent with our prior year approach, we will be responsive in regards to the pace of capital expenditures and scope of turnarounds depending on market conditions.
Renewable Diesel Project
We continue to advance on our project for a renewable fuels production facility co-located at our Chalmette refinery. The project incorporates certain idled assets at the refinery, including an idle hydrocracker, along with a newly-constructed pre-treatment unit to establish a 20,000 barrel per day renewable diesel production facility. During the first quarter of 2022, we invested approximately $40.0 million in incremental capital to continue to progress and incubate the project with the goal of being in production in the first half of 2023. Concurrently with our activities to progress the project, we are continuing discussions with potential strategic and financial partners.

Factors Affecting Comparability Between Periods
Our results have been affected by the following events, the understanding of which will aid in assessing the comparability of our period to period financial performance and financial condition.
Market Developments
The impact of the unprecedented global health and economic crisis sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic at the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2020, created a shock in oil demand resulting in an economic challenge to our industry which has not occurred since our formation. This resulted in significant demand reduction for our refined products and atypical volatility in oil commodity prices. The demand for these products started to rebound in 2021 and continued to improve in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Additionally, refining margins improved in the first quarter of 2022 as a result of global supply disruption.
Debt and Credit Facilities
Revolving Credit Facility
The outstanding borrowings under the PBF Holding’s asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $900.0 million.
47


PBFX Revolving Credit Facility
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, PBFX made net repayments of $25.0 million on the PBFX five-year, $500.0 million amended and restated revolving credit facility (the “PBFX Revolving Credit Facility”), resulting in outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2022 of $75.0 million. There was $100.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2021.
Tax Receivable Agreement
As of March 31, 2022, PBF Energy recognized a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement of $67.6 million ($48.3 million as of December 31, 2021) reflecting the estimate of the undiscounted amounts that the Company expected to pay under the agreement, net of the impact of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). As future taxable income is recognized, increases in our Tax Receivable Agreement liability may be necessary in conjunction with the revaluation of deferred tax assets.
48


Results of Operations
The tables below reflect our consolidated financial and operating highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (amounts in millions, except per share data). Differences between the results of operations of PBF Energy and PBF LLC primarily pertain to income taxes, interest expense and noncontrolling interest as shown below. Earnings per share information applies only to the financial results of PBF Energy. We operate in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. Our oil refineries, excluding the assets owned by PBFX, are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and are aggregated into the Refining segment. PBFX is a publicly-traded MLP that operates certain logistics assets such as crude oil and refined products terminals, pipelines and storage facilities. PBFX’s operations are aggregated into the Logistics segment. We do not separately discuss our results by individual segments as, apart from PBFX’s third-party acquisitions, our Logistics segment did not have any significant third-party revenues and a significant portion of its operating results are eliminated in consolidation.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Overview— PBF Energy net loss was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a net loss of $22.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. PBF LLC net income was $15.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a net loss of $22.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net loss attributable to PBF Energy stockholders was $21.1 million, or $(0.18) per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 ($(0.18) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss, or $0.35 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures), compared to net loss attributable to PBF Energy stockholders of $41.3 million, or $(0.34) per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 ($(0.34) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss, or $(2.61) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures). The net loss attributable to PBF Energy stockholders represents PBF Energy’s equity interest in PBF LLC’s pre-tax income, less applicable income tax benefit. PBF Energy’s weighted-average equity interest in PBF LLC was 99.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Our results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were negatively impacted by special items consisting of a change in fair value of contingent consideration of $50.3 million, or $37.3 million net of tax, primarily related to the acquisition of the Martinez refinery and logistic assets (the “Martinez Acquisition”), a $12.8 million tax expense associated with the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets, and pre-tax charges associated with the change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability of $19.3 million, or $14.3 million net of tax. Our results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were positively impacted by special items consisting of a non-cash, pre-tax lower of cost or market (“LCM”) inventory adjustment of approximately $405.6 million, or $297.7 million net of tax, offset by a change in the fair value of contingent consideration of $30.1 million, or $22.1 million net of tax, primarily related to the Martinez Acquisition and $1.7 million tax expense associated with the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets.
Excluding the impact of these special items, when comparing our results to the three months ended March 31, 2021, we experienced an increase in the demand for our refined products, evidenced by higher throughput volumes and barrels sold at all of our refineries, as well as overall stronger refining margins due to favorable movements in crack spreads and crude oil differentials. These improving metrics have positively impacted our revenues, cost of products sold and operating income. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, despite signs of demand recovery and improving refining margins in the Mid-Continent, our results continued to be negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, in the first quarter of 2021, we experienced unfavorable movements in certain crude oil differentials and overall lower throughput volumes and barrels sold across the majority of the refineries.
Revenues— Revenues totaled $9.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $4.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of approximately $4.2 billion, or 85.7%. Revenues per barrel were $107.58 and $67.47 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of 59.4% directly related to higher hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 263,100 bpd, 136,700 bpd, 163,100 bpd and 269,700 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 242,800 bpd, 117,200 bpd, 153,800 bpd and 231,700 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 318,700 bpd, 139,800 bpd, 175,700 bpd and 310,000 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 270,800 bpd, 129,800 bpd, 154,000 bpd and 256,400 bpd, respectively.
The throughput rates at all of our refineries were higher in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. We plan to continue operating our refineries based on demand and current market conditions. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside our refineries.
Consolidated Gross Margin— Consolidated gross margin totaled $196.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $138.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of approximately $58.4 million. Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $850.7 million, or $11.36 per barrel of throughput for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $650.2 million, or $9.70 per barrel of throughput for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of approximately $200.5 million. Gross refining margin excluding special items totaled $850.7 million or $11.36 per barrel of throughput for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $244.6 million or $3.65 per barrel of throughput for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $606.1 million.
53


During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our margin calculation was not impacted by special items. Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin increased due to favorable movements in certain crack spreads and crude oil differentials and higher throughput volumes and barrels sold at all of our refineries. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, special items impacting our margin calculations included a non-cash LCM inventory benefit of approximately $405.6 million on a net basis, resulting from an increase in crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended 2020 to the end of the first quarter of 2021.
Additionally, our results continue to be impacted by significant costs to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. Total Renewable Fuel Standard compliance costs were $194.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 in comparison to $283.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Average industry margins were mostly favorable during the three months ended March 31, 2022 in comparison to the same period in 2021, primarily due to varying timing and extent of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on regional demand and commodity prices, in addition to increased refining margins as a result of global supply disruptions.
Favorable movements in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in lower crude costs and positively impact our earnings while reductions in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in higher crude costs and negatively impact our earnings.
On the East Coast, the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $21.69 per barrel, or 79.9% higher, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $12.06 per barrel in the same period in 2021. Our margins were impacted from our refinery specific slate on the East Coast by strengthened Dated Brent/Maya differentials, which increased by $7.71 per barrel, slightly offset by weakened WTI/Bakken differentials, which decreased by $3.99 per barrel, in comparison to the same period in 2021. The WTI/WCS differential increased to $15.31 per barrel in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $12.01 in the same period in 2021, which favorably impacted our cost of heavy Canadian crude.
Across the Mid-Continent, the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $17.94 per barrel, or 55.2% higher, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $11.56 per barrel in the same period in 2021. Our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate in the Mid-Continent by a decreasing WTI/Bakken differential and WTI/Syncrude differential, which decreased by $3.99 per barrel and $0.79 per barrel, respectively.
On the Gulf Coast, the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was $24.14 per barrel, or 100.3% higher, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $12.05 per barrel in the same period in 2021. Margins on the Gulf Coast were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a weakening WTI/LLS differential, which averaged a premium of $2.28 per barrel during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to a premium of $2.13 per barrel in the same period of 2021.
On the West Coast, the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $32.84 per barrel, or 108.5% higher, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $15.75 per barrel in the same period in 2021. Additionally (West Coast) 3-2-1 industry crack spread was $29.39 per barrel, or 127.5% higher, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $12.92 per barrel in the same period in 2021. Our margins on the West Coast were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a strengthening WTI/ANS differential, which averaged a premium of $0.92 per barrel during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to a premium of $2.94 per barrel in the same period of 2021.
54


Operating Expenses— Operating expenses totaled $620.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $481.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of approximately $139.1 million, or 28.9%. Of the total $620.4 million of operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, $595.6 million or $7.95 per barrel of throughput, related to expenses incurred by the Refining segment, while the remaining $24.8 million related to expenses incurred by the Logistics segment ($460.2 million or $6.86 per barrel of throughput, and $21.1 million of operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to the Refining and Logistics segments, respectively). Increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to increases in natural gas volumes and price across our refineries when compared to the same period in 2021. Additionally, we experienced higher outside services, maintenance and operational costs due to increased production when compared to the same period in 2021.
General and Administrative Expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $53.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $47.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of approximately $5.7 million or 11.9%. The slight increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily related to increased salaries, wages and benefits, and other fixed expenses. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries and related logistics assets.
Loss (Gain) on Sale of Assets— There was a loss of $0.1 million and a gain of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively, related primarily to the sale of non-operating refinery assets.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $120.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (including $118.3 million recorded within Cost of sales) compared to $117.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (including $114.1 million recorded within Cost of sales), an increase of approximately $2.7 million. The slight increase was a result of a general increase in our fixed asset base due to capital projects and turnarounds completed since the first quarter of 2021.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration— Change in fair value of contingent consideration represented a loss of $50.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 in comparison to a loss of $30.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. These losses were primarily related to the changes in estimated fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the Martinez Acquisition (the “Martinez Contingent Consideration”).
Change in Tax Receivable Agreement Liability— Change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability for the three months ended March 31, 2022 represented a loss of $19.3 million. There was no change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability for the three months ended March 31, 2021. These losses were primarily the result of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance recorded in accordance with ASC 740 related to the reduction of deferred tax assets associated with the payments made or expected to be made in connection with the Tax Receivable Agreement liability.
Change in Fair Value of Catalyst Obligations— Change in fair value of catalyst obligations represented a loss of $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a loss of $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. These losses relate to the change in value of the precious metals underlying the sale and leaseback of our refineries’ precious metal catalysts, which we are obligated to repurchase at fair market value upon lease termination.
Interest Expense, net— PBF Energy interest expense totaled $78.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $80.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of approximately $1.9 million. This slight net decrease in interest expense is mainly attributable to lower outstanding debt due to the repurchase of a portion of the 6.00% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”) and 7.25% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”), in the second half of 2021. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt including the PBFX credit facilities, costs related to
55


the sale and leaseback of our precious metal catalysts, financing costs associated with the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils and the amortization of deferred financing costs. PBF LLC interest expense totaled $81.0 million and $82.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (inclusive of $2.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of incremental interest expense on the affiliate note payable with PBF Energy that eliminates in consolidation at the PBF Energy level).
Income Tax Expense— PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is an MLP, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income tax. However, two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining L.L.C (“Chalmette Refining”) and our Canadian subsidiary, PBF Energy Limited, are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes and may incur income taxes with respect to their earnings, as applicable. The members of PBF LLC are required to include their proportionate share of PBF LLC’s taxable income or loss, which includes PBF LLC’s allocable share of PBFX’s pre-tax income or loss, on their respective tax returns. PBF LLC generally makes distributions to its members, per the terms of PBF LLC’s amended and restated limited liability company agreement, related to such taxes on a pro-rata basis. PBF Energy recognizes an income tax expense or benefit in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on PBF Energy’s allocable share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income or loss, which was approximately 99.2%, on a weighted-average basis for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. PBF Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests in PBF LLC or PBFX (although, as described above, PBF LLC must make tax distributions to all its members on a pro-rata basis). PBF Energy’s effective tax rate, including the impact of noncontrolling interests, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 was 22.4% and 16.9%, respectively.
Noncontrolling Interest— PBF Energy is the sole managing member of, and has a controlling interest in, PBF LLC. As the sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the business and affairs of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries, including PBFX. With respect to the consolidation of PBF LLC, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF LLC held by members other than PBF Energy, and with respect to the consolidation of PBFX, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interests in PBFX held by the public unitholders of PBFX, and with respect to the consolidation of PBF Holding, the Company records a 20% noncontrolling interest for the ownership interests in two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining held by a third-party. The total noncontrolling interest on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations represents the portion of the Company’s earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests held by members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, by the public common unitholders of PBFX and by the third-party stockholders of certain of Chalmette Refining’s subsidiaries. The total noncontrolling interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the portion of the Company’s net assets attributable to the economic interests held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, by the public common unitholders of PBFX and by the third-party stockholders of the two Chalmette Refining subsidiaries. PBF Energy’s weighted-average equity noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in PBF LLC for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately 0.8%. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets attributable to the noncontrolling interest is not equal to the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage due to the effect of income taxes and related agreements that pertain solely to PBF Energy.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP (“Non-GAAP”). These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. Such Non-GAAP financial measures are presented only in the context of PBF Energy’s results and are not presented or discussed in respect to PBF LLC.
Special Items
The Non-GAAP measures presented include Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) excluding special items, EBITDA excluding special items and gross refining margin excluding special items. Special items for the periods presented relate to LCM inventory adjustments, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and net tax expense on remeasurement of deferred tax assets. See “Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more details on all special items disclosed. 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 helpful 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.
Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) Excluding Special Items
PBF Energy utilizes results presented on an Adjusted Fully-Converted basis that reflects an assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. In addition, we present results on an Adjusted Fully-Converted basis excluding special items as described above. We believe that these Adjusted Fully-Converted measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare PBF Energy results across different periods and to facilitate an understanding of our operating results.
Neither Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) nor Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) excluding special items should be considered an alternative to net income (loss) presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) excluding special items presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently. The differences between Adjusted Fully-Converted and GAAP results are as follows:
1.    Assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. As a result of the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units, the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. Management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units.
2.    Income Taxes. Prior to PBF Energy’s initial public offering (“IPO”), PBF Energy was organized as a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, and even after PBF Energy’s IPO, not all of its earnings are subject to corporate-level income taxes. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Fully-Converted tax provisions and earnings to assume that PBF Energy had adopted its post-IPO corporate tax structure for all periods presented and is taxed as a C-corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates. These assumptions are consistent with the assumption in clause 1 above that all PBF LLC Series A Units are exchanged for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock, as the assumed exchange would change the amount of PBF Energy’s earnings that are subject to corporate income tax.

Gross Refining Margin and Gross Refining Margin Excluding Special Items
Gross refining margin is defined as consolidated gross margin excluding refinery depreciation, refinery operating expense, and gross margin of PBFX. We believe both gross refining margin and gross refining margin excluding special items are important measures of operating performance and provide useful information to investors because they are helpful metric comparisons to the industry refining margin benchmarks, as the refining margin benchmarks do not include a charge for refinery operating expenses and depreciation. In order to assess our operating performance, we compare our gross refining margin (revenues less cost of products and other) to industry refining margin benchmarks and crude oil prices as defined in the table below.
Neither gross refining margin nor gross refining margin excluding special items should be considered an alternative to consolidated gross margin, income from operations, net cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Gross refining margin and gross refining margin excluding special items presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently.
The following table presents our GAAP calculation of gross margin and a reconciliation of gross refining margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, consolidated gross margin, on a historical basis, as applicable, for each of the periods indicated (in millions, except per barrel amounts):

EBITDA, EBITDA Excluding Special Items and Adjusted EBITDA
Our management uses EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization), EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to readily view operating trends, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations, and in communications with our Board of Directors, creditors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance. Our outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money and other contractual obligations also include similar measures as a basis for certain covenants under those agreements which may differ from the Adjusted EBITDA definition described below.
EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and our computation of EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in our industry. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA contains some, but not all, adjustments that are taken into account in the calculation of the components of various covenants in the agreements governing our senior notes and other credit facilities. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to income from operations or net income as measures of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA are not presented as, and should not be considered, an alternative to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. 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 obligations, the write down of inventory to the LCM, changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability due to factors out of PBF Energy’s control such as changes in tax rates, change in the fair value of contingent consideration and certain other non-cash items. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA also have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include that EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA:
do not reflect depreciation expense or our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
do not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
do not reflect realized and unrealized gains and losses from certain hedging activities, which may have a substantial impact on our cash flow;
do not reflect certain other non-cash income and expenses; and
exclude income taxes that may represent a reduction in available cash.

Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following notes are applicable to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures above: 
(1)    Represents the elimination of the noncontrolling interest associated with the ownership by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, as if such members had fully exchanged their PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock.
(2)    Represents an adjustment to reflect PBF Energy’s estimated annualized statutory corporate tax rate of approximately 25.9% and 26.6% for the 2022 and 2021 periods, respectively, applied to the net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest for all periods presented. The adjustment assumes the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in (1) above.
(3)    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 the 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. The net impact of these LCM inventory adjustments are included in the Refining segment’s income from operations, but are excluded from the operating results presented, as applicable, in order to make such information comparable between periods.
The following table includes the LCM inventory reserve as of each date presented (in millions):

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration - During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a change in fair value of the contingent consideration primarily related to the Martinez Contingent Consideration which decreased income from operations and net income by $50.3 million and $37.3 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a change in the fair value of the contingent consideration primarily related to the Martinez Contingent Consideration which decreased income from operations and net income by $30.1 million and $22.1 million, respectively.

Change in Tax Receivable Agreement liability - During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability that decreased income before income taxes and net income by $19.3 million and $14.3 million, respectively. There was no change to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability during the three months ended March 31, 2021. 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, as well as periodic adjustments to our liability based, in part, on an updated estimate of the amounts that we expect to pay, using assumptions consistent with those used in our concurrent estimate of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Recomputed Income Tax on Special Items - The income tax impact on these special items, other than the net tax expense special item discussed below, is calculated using the tax rates shown in (2) above.
Net Tax Expense on Remeasurement of Deferred Tax Assets - During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a deferred tax valuation allowance of $316.3 million in accordance with ASC 740 (an increase of $7.8 million when compared to December 31, 2021, which includes a tax benefit of approximately $5.0 million related to our net change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and a net tax expense of $12.8 million related primarily to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets). During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded an increase to our deferred tax valuation allowance of $1.7 million in accordance with ASC 740.

(5)    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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share units and options and warrants to purchase 14,804,565 and 11,699,893 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. For periods showing a net loss, all common stock equivalents and unvested restricted stock are considered anti-dilutive.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability under our credit facilities, as described below. We believe that our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our and our subsidiaries’ capital expenditures, working capital needs, future dividend payments (if any), debt service requirements, and PBF Energy’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, for the next twelve months. However, our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations depends, in part, on petroleum oil market pricing and general economic, political and other factors beyond our control. We are in compliance as of March 31, 2022 with all covenants, including financial covenants, in all our debt agreements.

Cash Flow Analysis
The below cash flow analysis includes details by cash flow activity based on the results of PBF Energy. Material changes that exist between the PBF Energy and PBF LLC cash flows are explained thereafter.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $312.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Our overall increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by the net changes in operating assets and liabilities reflecting cash proceeds of $143.6 million, driven by the timing of inventory purchases, payments for accrued expenses and accounts payable, and collections of accounts receivable. Change in accrued expenses is due primarily to an increase in renewable energy credit and emissions obligations, as a result of an increase in our unfunded RINs obligation as of March 31, 2022. Our operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 also include our net loss of $3.3 million, depreciation and amortization of $124.6 million, change in the fair value of the contingent consideration of $50.3 million primarily associated with the Martinez Contingent Consideration, change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability of $19.3 million, pension and other post-retirement benefits costs of $11.9 million, stock-based compensation of $7.7 million, change in the fair value of our catalyst obligations of $4.9 million, and gain on sale of assets of $0.1 million, partially offset by net non-cash charges related to the change in the fair value of our inventory repurchase obligations of $40.7 million and deferred income taxes of $6.1 million. Our operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included our net loss of $22.2 million, a net non-cash charge of $405.6 million relating to an LCM inventory adjustment, deferred income taxes of $7.7 million, and gain on sale of assets of $0.6 million, partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $121.7 million, change in the fair value of the contingent consideration of $30.1 million, pension and other post-retirement benefits costs of $12.8 million, change in the fair value of our catalyst obligations of $10.0 million, net non-cash charges related to the change in the fair value of our inventory repurchase obligations of $8.0 million, and stock-based compensation of $7.4 million. In addition, net changes in operating assets and liabilities reflect cash proceeds of $232.4 million driven by the timing of inventory purchases, payments for accrued expenses and accounts payable and collections of accounts receivable.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $225.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $60.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The net cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was comprised of cash outflows of capital expenditures totaling $118.3 million, expenditures for refinery turnarounds of $82.2 million, and expenditures for other assets of $25.0 million. The net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was comprised of cash outflows of capital expenditures totaling $37.4 million, expenditures for refinery turnarounds of $16.8 million, and expenditures for other assets of $6.3 million.
64


Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds from insurance premium financing of $47.3 million, partially offset by net repayments on the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility of $25.0 million, distributions and dividends of $9.8 million, payments on finance leases of $3.0 million, payments related to the CPI Operations LLC acquisition related earn-out obligation (the “PBFX Contingent Consideration”) of $2.6 million, and deferred financing costs and other of $0.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of cash proceeds from insurance premium financing of $48.9 million, partially offset by net repayments on the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility of $15.0 million, PBFX Contingent Consideration payments of $12.2 million, distributions and dividends of $9.7 million, payments on finance leases of $3.5 million, principal amortization payments of the $35.0 million PBF Rail term loan of $1.8 million, and deferred financing costs and other of $0.8 million.
The cash flow activity of PBF LLC for the period ended March 31, 2022 is materially consistent with that of PBF Energy discussed above, other than changes in deferred income taxes and certain working capital items, which are different from PBF Energy due to certain tax related items not applicable to PBF LLC. Additionally, the PBF LLC cash flows reflect activity of the affiliate note payable with PBF Energy of $4.5 million included in cash flows from financing activities, which eliminates in consolidation at PBF Energy.
The cash flow activity of PBF LLC for the period ended March 31, 2021 is materially consistent with that of PBF Energy discussed above, other than changes in deferred income taxes and certain working capital items, which are different from PBF Energy due to certain tax related items not applicable to PBF LLC.
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2022, our operational liquidity was more than $2.6 billion ($2.4 billion as of December 31, 2021), which consists of $1.4 billion of cash, excluding cash held at PBFX, and more than $1.2 billion of borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, which includes our cash on hand. In addition, as of March 31, 2022, PBFX had approximately $474.8 million of liquidity ($430.4 million as of December 31, 2021), including approximately $53.3 million in cash, and access to approximately $421.5 million under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility.
As of March 31, 2022, outstanding letters of credit totaled approximately $613.4 million.
We have executed a plan to strengthen our balance sheet and increase our flexibility and responsiveness by incorporating certain adjustments to our operations and other cost saving measures. In an effort to preserve the positive recovery trends experienced during 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2022, we remain committed to our plan in the current year with notable events within the past twelve months highlighted below:
Extinguishment of $258.9 million of our 2028 Senior Notes and 2025 Senior Notes to date, resulting in annual cash interest savings of approximately $16.3 million;
In October 2021, executed the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement with J. Aron through 2024, covering certain crude oil, intermediate and finished products across our East Coast and Chalmette refineries;
Continued various cost reduction and cash preservation initiatives, which includes a flexible capital expenditures strategy based on market conditions and operating expenses related to discretionary activities and third-party services; and
Continued the temporary suspension of our quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share, which currently preserves approximately $35.0 million of cash each quarter, to support the balance sheet.
65


We are actively responding to the ongoing rebalancing in the global oil markets. We continue to adjust our operational plans to the evolving market conditions and continue to target and execute expense reduction measures. We also remain committed to assessing other opportunities that could improve our liquidity, including by further reducing debt and/or potential sales of non-operating assets or other real property, although there can be no assurance that we will do so.
We may, at any time and from time to time, seek to continue to repurchase or retire our outstanding debt securities through cash purchases (and/or exchanges for equity or debt), in open-market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine. We will evaluate any such transactions in light of then-existing market conditions, taking into account our current liquidity and prospects for future access to capital, the trading prices of our debt securities, legal requirements and contractual restrictions and economic and market conditions. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. We are not obligated to repurchase any of our debt securities other than as set forth in the applicable indentures, and repurchases may be made or suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
We may incur additional indebtedness in the future, including additional secured indebtedness, subject to the satisfaction of any debt incurrence and, if applicable, lien incurrence limitation covenants in our existing financing agreements. Although we were in compliance with incurrence covenants during the three months ended March 31, 2022, to the extent that any of our activities triggered these covenants, there are no assurances that conditions could not change significantly, and that such changes could adversely impact our ability to meet some of these incurrence covenants at the time that we needed to. Failure to meet the incurrence covenants could impose certain incremental restrictions on, among other matters, our ability to incur new debt (including secured debt) and also may limit the extent to which we may pay future dividends, make new investments, repurchase our outstanding debt or stock or incur new liens.
We are in compliance as of March 31, 2022 with all covenants, including financial covenants, in all of our debt agreements.
Working Capital
PBF Energy’s working capital at March 31, 2022 was $1,293.9 million, consisting of $6,379.6 million in total current assets and $5,085.7 million in total current liabilities. PBF Energy’s working capital at December 31, 2021 was $1,439.5 million, consisting of $5,199.2 million in total current assets and $3,759.7 million in total current liabilities. PBF LLC’s working capital at March 31, 2022 was $1,240.4 million, consisting of $6,379.6 million in total current assets and $5,139.2 million in total current liabilities. PBF LLC’s working capital at December 31, 2021 was $1,385.6 million, consisting of $5,197.5 million in total current assets and $3,811.9 million in total current liabilities.
Capital Spending
Capital spending was $225.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and was primarily comprised of turnaround costs at our Delaware City, Chalmette, Torrance and Martinez refineries. Capital spend also included costs associated with safety related enhancements and facility improvements at our refineries and approximately $1.4 million of capital expenditures related to PBFX. Our full-year refining capital expenditures are expected to range from $500.0 million to $550.0 million. In addition, PBFX expects to spend an aggregate of approximately $18.0 million to $23.0 million in net capital expenditures for the remainder of 2022.

66


Crude and Feedstock Supply Agreements
Certain of our purchases of crude oil under our agreements with foreign national oil companies require that we post letters of credit, if open terms are exceeded, and arrange for shipment. We pay for the crude when invoiced, at which time any applicable letters of credit are lifted. We have a contract with Saudi Arabian Oil Company (“Saudi Aramco”) pursuant to which we have been purchasing up to approximately 100,000 bpd of crude oil from Saudi Aramco that is processed at our Paulsboro refinery. In connection with the acquisition of the Chalmette refinery we entered into a contract with Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (“PDVSA”) for the supply of 40,000 to 60,000 bpd of crude oil that can be processed at any of our East or Gulf Coast refineries. We have not sourced crude oil under this agreement since 2017 when PDVSA suspended deliveries due to the parties’ inability to agree to mutually acceptable payment terms and because of U.S. government sanctions against PDVSA. Notwithstanding the suspension, the U.S. government sanctions imposed against PDVSA and Venezuela prevented us from purchasing crude oil under this agreement. In connection with the closing of the acquisition of the Torrance refinery, we entered into a crude supply agreement with Exxon Mobil Oil Corporation (“ExxonMobil”) for approximately 60,000 bpd of crude oil that can be processed at our Torrance refinery. We currently purchase all of our crude and feedstock needs independently from a variety of suppliers on the spot market or through term agreements for our Delaware City and Toledo refineries.
We currently have various crude supply agreements with terms through 2025 with Shell plc for approximately 145,000 bpd, in the aggregate, to support our West Coast and Mid-Continent refinery operations. In addition, we have certain offtake agreements for our West Coast system with the same counterparty for clean products with varying terms up to 15 years.
Inventory Intermediation Agreement
On October 25, 2021, PBF Holding and its subsidiaries, Delaware City Refining Company (“DCR”), Paulsboro Refining Company (“PRC”) and Chalmette Refining, entered into the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement with J. Aron, pursuant to which the terms of the previous inventory intermediation agreements were amended and restated in their entirety, including, among other things, pricing and an extension of terms. The Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement extends the term to December 31, 2024, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2025. If not extended or replaced, at expiration, we will be required to repurchase the inventories outstanding under the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement at that time.
At March 31, 2022, the LIFO value of the J. Aron Products included within Inventory in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $521.6 million. We accrue a corresponding liability for such crude oil, intermediates and finished products.
Tax Receivable Agreement Obligations
PBF Energy has recognized, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement of $67.6 million and $48.3 million, respectively, reflecting the estimated undiscounted amounts that PBF Energy expects to pay under the agreement, net of deferred tax asset valuation allowance recognized in accordance with ASC 740. As future taxable income is recorded, increases in our Tax Receivable Agreement liability may be necessary in conjunction with the revaluation of deferred tax assets. If PBF Energy does not have taxable income, PBF Energy generally is not required (absent a change of control or circumstances requiring an early termination payment) to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for that taxable year because no benefit will have been actually realized. However, any tax benefits that do not result in realized benefits in a given tax year will likely generate tax attributes that may be utilized to generate benefits in previous or future tax years. The utilization of such tax attributes will result in payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
67


These payment obligations, if any, are obligations of PBF Energy and not of PBF LLC or any of its subsidiaries including PBF Holding or PBFX. However, because PBF Energy is a holding company with no operations of its own, PBF Energy’s ability to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement is dependent upon a number of factors, including its subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions for the benefit of PBF LLC’s members, including PBF Energy, its ability, if necessary, to finance its obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement and existing indebtedness which may limit PBF Energy’s subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions.
The foregoing are merely estimates - the actual payments could differ materially. It is possible that future transactions or events could increase or decrease the actual tax benefits realized and the corresponding Tax Receivable Agreement payments.
Dividend and Distribution Policy
PBF Energy
It is impossible to estimate the duration or ultimate financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. As part of our strategic plan to navigate these current extraordinary and volatile markets, we have suspended PBF Energy’s quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share on its Class A common stock. We continue to monitor and evaluate our dividend policy as market conditions develop and our business outlook becomes clearer, however, we do not anticipate that our Board of Directors will declare a dividend in the foreseeable future.
The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock will be at the sole discretion of PBF Energy’s Board of Directors, and we are not obligated under any applicable laws, our governing documents or any contractual agreements with our existing owners or otherwise to declare or pay any dividends or other distributions (other than the obligations of PBF LLC to make tax distributions to its members).
PBF Logistics LP
Due to the uncertainty of the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its business, PBFX has decided to reduce their quarterly distribution to its minimum quarterly distribution of $0.30 per unit, which represents a shift in its distribution strategy to build cash flow coverage, de-lever the business and strengthen its financial resources as they continue to pursue potential organic growth projects or strategic acquisition opportunities. PBFX intends to continue to pay at least the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.30 per unit per quarter, or $1.20 per unit on an annualized basis, which aggregates to approximately $19.0 million per quarter or approximately $76.0 million on an annualized basis, based on the number of common units outstanding as of March 31, 2022, to the extent PBFX has sufficient cash from operations after the establishment of cash reserves and the payment of costs and expenses, including reimbursements of expenses to PBFX’s general partner. However, there is no guarantee that PBFX will pay the minimum quarterly distribution or any amount on the units it owns in any quarter. Even if PBFX’s cash distribution policy is not modified or revoked, the amount of distributions paid under the policy and the decision to make any distribution is determined by its general partner, taking into consideration the terms of PBFX’s partnership agreement and debt facilities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, PBFX made quarterly cash distributions totaling $18.7 million of which $9.0 million was distributed to PBF LLC and the balance was distributed to its public unitholders.
On April 28, 2022, the Board of Directors of PBFX’s general partner, PBF Logistics GP LLC, announced a distribution of $0.30 per unit on outstanding common units of PBFX. The distribution is payable on May 26, 2022 to PBFX common unitholders of record at the close of business on May 12, 2022.
68


As of March 31, 2022, PBFX had $3.5 million outstanding letters of credit, $421.5 million available under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and cash and cash equivalents of $53.3 million to fund its operations, if necessary. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2022, there was sufficient cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under its credit facilities available to PBFX to make distributions to unitholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks, including changes in commodity prices and interest rates. Our primary commodity price risk is associated with the difference between the prices we sell our refined products and the prices we pay for crude oil and other feedstocks. We may use derivative instruments to manage the risks from changes in the prices of crude oil and refined products, natural gas, interest rates, or to capture market opportunities.
Commodity Price Risk
Our earnings, cash flow and liquidity are significantly affected by a variety of factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, other feedstocks, refined products and natural gas. The supply of and demand for these commodities depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, planned and unplanned downtime in refineries, pipelines and production facilities, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive and alternative fuels, and the extent of government regulation. As a result, the prices of these commodities can be volatile. Our revenues fluctuate significantly with movements in industry refined product prices, our cost of sales fluctuates significantly with movements in crude oil and feedstock prices and our operating expenses fluctuate with movements in the price of natural gas. We manage our exposure to these commodity price risks through our supply and offtake agreements as well as through the use of various commodity derivative instruments.
We may use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of crude oil and feedstocks, finished products and natural gas outside of our supply and offtake agreements. The derivative instruments we use include physical commodity contracts and exchange-traded and over-the-counter financial instruments. We mark-to-market our commodity derivative instruments and recognize the changes in their fair value in our statements of operations.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had gross open commodity derivative contracts representing 43.9 million barrels and 42.1 million barrels, respectively, with an unrealized net loss of $51.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively. The open commodity derivative contracts as of March 31, 2022 expire at various times during 2022 and 2023.
We carry inventories of crude oil, intermediates and refined products (“hydrocarbon inventories”) on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the values of which are subject to fluctuations in market prices. Our hydrocarbon inventories totaled approximately 34.0 million barrels and 30.2 million barrels at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The average cost of our hydrocarbon inventories was approximately $80.86 and $78.29 per barrel on a LIFO basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the replacement value of inventory exceeded the LIFO carrying value. If market prices of our inventory decline to a level below our average cost, we may be required to write down the carrying value of our hydrocarbon inventories to market.
Our predominant variable operating cost is energy, which is comprised primarily of natural gas and electricity. We are therefore sensitive to movements in natural gas prices. Assuming normal operating conditions, we expect our annual consumption to range from 75 million to 95 million MMBTUs of natural gas amongst our six refineries. Accordingly, a $1.00 per MMBTU change in natural gas prices would increase or decrease our natural gas costs by approximately $75.0 million to $95.0 million.
70


Compliance Program Price Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to our obligations to buy and the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory compliance programs, which includes RINs, required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. Our overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of our domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by Environmental Protection Agency. To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RINs obligation, we must purchase RINs on the open market. To mitigate the impact of the market risk relating to our obligations on our results of operations and cash flows, we may elect to purchase RINs or other environmental credits as part of our liability management strategy.
In addition, we are exposed to risks associated with complying with federal and state legislative and regulatory measures to address greenhouse gas and other emissions. Requirements to reduce emissions could result in increased costs to operate and maintain our facilities as well as implement and manage new emission controls and programs put in place. For example, in September 2016, the state of California enacted AB 32, which further reduces greenhouse gas emission targets to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. Compliance with such emission standards may require the purchase of emission credits or similar instruments.
Certain of these compliance contracts or instruments qualify as derivative instruments. For certain of these contracts, we elect the normal purchase normal sale exception under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, for such instruments, and therefore do not record these contracts at their fair value.
Interest Rate Risk
The maximum commitment under our Revolving Credit Facility is $3.4 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest either at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at Adjusted London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the Applicable Margin, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2022, we had $900.0 million outstanding in variable interest debt. If this facility was fully drawn, a 1.0% change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $22.0 million annually.
The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility, with a maximum commitment of $500.0 million, bears interest either at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin, all as defined in the PBFX Revolving Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2022, PBFX had $75.0 million outstanding in variable interest debt. If this facility was fully drawn, a 1.0% change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $3.9 million annually.
We also have interest rate exposure in connection with our Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement under which we pay a time value of money charge based on LIBOR.
Credit Risk
We are subject to risk of losses resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our counterparties. We continue to closely monitor the creditworthiness of customers to whom we grant credit and establish credit limits in accordance with our credit policy.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
PBF Energy and PBF LLC conducted separate evaluations, under the supervision and with the participation of each company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2022. Based upon these evaluations, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, in each case, concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in PBF Energy’s or PBF LLC’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, PBF Energy’s or PBF LLC’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On September 11, 2020, DCR received two Citations and Notification of Penalties, with sub-parts, from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor (“OSHA”) related to a combustion incident occurring on March 11, 2020. The citation seeks to impose penalties in the amount of $401,923 related to alleged violations of the Occupation Safety and Health Act of 1970. An informal conference with OSHA on October 2, 2020 was unsuccessful in resolving the matter, and, as a result, DCR filed a Notice of Contest with OSHA contesting the citations in their entirety at the end of the informal conference. OSHA filed its Complaint on December 13, 2020, and DCR filed its response on January 4, 2021. OSHA and DCR participated in mandatory meditation on February 2, 2021, which was unsuccessful. On February 25, 2021, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission granted the parties’ Joint Motion for Additional Time for the Parties to Discuss Settlement. The Court has since granted multiple additional extensions. On May 27, 2021, the parties notified the court that settlement negotiations are continuing and have continued to provide updates on the settlement negotiations. Subsequently, OSHA and DCR reached a settlement agreement with an assessed penalty of $401,923 and DCR agreed to undertake certain abatement measures. On January 24, 2022, DCR and the United Steelworkers signed the settlement agreement, and on January 25, 2022, OSHA executed the agreement. On March 28, 2022, the settlement agreement became a final Commission order and DCR paid the assessed penalty in accordance with the terms of the settlement agreement on April 4, 2022.
On September 27, 2021, DCR received a Notice of Administrative Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order from the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, seeking to impose penalties in the amount of $285,000 related to alleged Title V permit violations occurring in 2019 and 2020. On October 15, 2021, DCR filed a Notice of Appeal before Delaware’s Environmental Appeals Board, contesting the Secretary’s findings and requesting a hearing. On November 2, 2021, the Environmental Appeals Board scheduled a Pre-Hearing Conference for April 8, 2022 and Hearing Date for April 26, 2022. On March 17, 2022, the parties entered into a settlement agreement, pursuant to which DCR did not admit to any of the allegations and denied any liability but agreed to pay an administrative penalty of $250,000 and withdraw its appeal.
In connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, we assumed certain pre-existing environmental liabilities related to certain environmental remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and monitoring activities, which reflect the estimated cost of the remediation obligations. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, we purchased a ten-year, $100.0 million environmental insurance policy to insure against unknown environmental liabilities.
On February 4, 2021, we received a letter from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) proposing to settle a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) relating to 15 Title V deviations alleged to have occurred in the second half of 2017 for $1.3 million. On October 8, 2021, we reached settlement in principle with the SCAQMD to pay a penalty of $250,000 for 14 of the Title V deviations and a penalty of $1.3 million for the remaining deviation, which covers the period of 2017 through 2021, and the negotiation of settlement agreements is in process.

On December 4, 2020, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (“PaDEP”) issued a draft Consent Order and Agreement (“CAO”) to PBF Logistics Products Terminals LLC (“PLPT”) with respect to two alleged violations at the Philadelphia terminal for failure to: 1) test and inspect regulated piping as required in accordance with industry standards; and 2) have a professional engineering certification that all above ground storage tanks meet the applicable performance standards and requirements as a result of an alleged release of oil on January 10, 2020 into the Schuylkill River resulting from a pipe leak that was not contained by emergency containment structure. The draft order included a proposed penalty of $800,000. On December 15, 2021, we entered into a final CAO and agreed to pay the $800,000 penalty. Under the final CAO, we capped our future liability at $250,000 if PaDEP brought a subsequent enforcement action under the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law (“CSL”) for environmental damage allegedly caused by the release of oil from PLPT’s operational violations. Under the final CAO, we also reserved our rights to challenge any subsequent enforcement action brought by PaDEP under the CSL. On January 13, 2022, we received from PaDEP, a Consent Assessment of Civil Penalty alleging violations under the CSL of over $1.0 million. However, because of the CAO cap, the PaDEP’s penalty demand to settle these alleged violations is $250,000. On April 13, 2022, PLPT entered into the final CAO and agreed to pay the $250,000 penalty.
In connection with self-reported flaring events that occurred at the Paulsboro Refinery between 2016 and 2020, in October 2021, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) initiated discussions with PRC regarding potential penalties for alleged violations related to the self-reported flaring events. Although a formal NOV has not been issued, NJDEP provided a calculation sheet of potential penalties totaling approximately $1.6 million. We are currently challenging certain of those potential penalties and are in discussions with NJDEP regarding a potential settlement. On March 17, 2022, the parties reached an agreement with respect to an agreed total penalty amount of $1.0 million. The parties are in the process of negotiating a settlement agreement.
As the ultimate outcomes of the matters discussed above are uncertain, we cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of their resolution but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, individually or in the aggregate.
On February 17, 2017, in Arnold Goldstein, et al. v. Exxon Mobil Corporation, et al., we and PBF LLC, and our subsidiaries, PBF Western Region LLC and Torrance Refining Company LLC and the manager of our Torrance refinery along with ExxonMobil were named as defendants in a class action and representative action complaint filed on behalf of Arnold Goldstein, John Covas, Gisela Janette La Bella and others similarly situated. The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles and alleges negligence, strict liability, ultra-hazardous activity, a continuing private nuisance, a permanent private nuisance, a continuing public nuisance, a permanent public nuisance and trespass resulting from the February 18, 2015 electrostatic precipitator (“ESP”) explosion at the Torrance refinery which was then owned and operated by ExxonMobil. The operation of the Torrance refinery by the PBF entities subsequent to our acquisition in July 2016 is also referenced in the complaint. To the extent that plaintiffs’ claims relate to the ESP explosion, ExxonMobil retained responsibility for any liabilities that would arise from the lawsuit pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of the Torrance refinery. On July 2, 2018, the court granted leave to plaintiffs to file a Second Amended Complaint alleging groundwater contamination. With the filing of the Second Amended Complaint, plaintiffs added an additional plaintiff, Hany Youssef. On October 15, 2019, the judge granted certification to two limited classes of property owners with Youssef as the sole class representative and named plaintiff, rejecting two other proposed subclasses based on negligence and on strict liability for ultrahazardous activities. The certified subclasses relate to trespass claims for ground contamination and nuisance for air emissions. On February 5, 2021, our motion for Limited Extension of Discovery Cut-Off and a Motion by plaintiffs for Leave to File Third Amended Complaint were heard by the court. On May 5, 2021, the Court granted plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint for the third time to substitute Navarro for Youssef. On May 12, 2021, plaintiffs filed their Third Amended Complaint (“TAC”) that contained significant changes and new claims, including individual claims, that were not included in the motion for leave to amend plaintiffs presented to the Court. On June 9, 2021, we filed a Motion to Dismiss/Strike the TAC. On June 23, 2021, plaintiffs filed their opposition to our Motion to Dismiss/Strike, to which we filed our reply on July 2,

2021. A hearing on the Motion to Dismiss/Strike the TAC was held on August 2, 2021 and the court ordered that the TAC be struck and that the parties meet and confer with respect to the complaint. After meeting and conferring, plaintiffs agreed to submit a corrected TAC with changes reflecting the removal of Youssef and the substitution of Navarro as the named Plaintiff. On August 23, 2021, the Court approved the parties’ stipulation to take Navarro’s deposition on September 23, 2021. Also, on August 23, 2021, the Court approved the parties’ stipulation to continue the pretrial dates with the new deadlines. On October 8, 2021, plaintiffs filed their Motion to Appoint Navarro as Class Representative. On October 29, 2021, we filed our opposition to this motion. On November 15, 2021, plaintiffs filed their reply. On February 8, 2022, the Court held a hearing on plaintiff’s Motion to Appoint Navarro as Class Representative but did not act on the motion. Instead, the court ordered the parties to submit draft orders for the Court’s consideration. All parties have filed draft orders with the Court as required and are awaiting the Court’s order. All other dates are stayed pending the Court issuing its order. We presently believe the outcome of this litigation will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On September 7, 2021, Martinez Refining Company LLC (“MRC”) filed a Verified Petition for Writ of Mandate and Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief against the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (“BAAQMD”) requesting the Court to declare as invalid, unenforceable, and ultra vires the BAAMQD’s July 21, 2021, adoption of Rule 6-5 Amendment. MRC is also seeking a writ of mandate ordering the BAAQMD to vacate and rescind the adoption of the Rule 6-5 Amendment, as well as appropriate declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and reasonable costs incurred by MRC to bring this Petition/Complaint. In the Petition/Complaint MRC alleges that: its feasible alternative Particulate Matter (“PM”) reduction proposal that would achieve significant PM reductions while avoiding the significant costs and environmental impacts of the BAAQMD’s adopted PM limit, was improperly removed from consideration and not presented to the BAAQMD Board when the Rule 6-5 Amendment was adopted with the current PM standard; when adopting the Rule 6-5 Amendment, the BAAQMD flagrantly ignored numerous mandatory requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and the California Health and Safety Code; the BAAQMD’s adoption of the Rule 6-5 Amendment also violated California common law; and these failings render the Rule 6-5 Amendment ultra vires, illegal, and unenforceable. We held mandatory settlement conferences with the BAAQMD on October 27, 2021 and December 15, 2021. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), also known as “Superfund,” imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current or former owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that disposed of or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for investigation and the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. As discussed more fully above, certain of our sites are subject to these laws and we may be held liable for investigation and remediation costs or claims for natural resource damages. It is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances or other pollutants released into the environment. Analogous state laws impose similar responsibilities and liabilities on responsible parties. In our current normal operations, we have generated waste, some of which falls within the statutory definition of a “hazardous substance” and some of which may have been disposed of at sites that may require cleanup under Superfund.
