Recent Developments

COVID-19

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain developments in the global oil markets negatively impacted worldwide economic and commercial activity and financial markets in 2020 and is expected to continue in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related governmental and consumer responses resulted in significant business and operational disruptions, including business and school closures, supply chain disruptions, travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders and limitations on the availability of workforces and has resulted in significantly lower global demand for refined petroleum and petrochemical products. We believe, but cannot guarantee, that demand for refined petroleum products will ultimately rebound as governmental restrictions are lifted. However, the continued negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and these market developments on our business and operations will depend on the ongoing severity, location and duration of the effects and spread of COVID-19, the effectiveness of the vaccine programs and the other actions undertaken by national, regional and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effects, and how quickly and to what extent economic conditions improve and normal business and operating conditions resume.

We are actively responding to the impacts from these matters on our business. Starting in late March through the end of 2020, we reduced the amount of crude oil processed at our refineries in response to the decreased demand for our products and we temporarily idled various units at certain of our refineries to optimize our production in light of prevailing market conditions. As of the date of this filing, our refineries are still operating at reduced throughput levels and we expect them to continue to do so until market conditions substantially improve. Despite the measures we have taken, we have been, and likely will continue to be, adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the economic impact and can provide no assurance that measures taken to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be effective.

9

Over the course of 2020 we adjusted our operational plans to the evolving market conditions and executed our plan to lower our 2020 operating expenses through significant reductions in discretionary activities and third party services. We successfully reduced our 2020 operating expenses by $235.0 million, excluding energy savings, and exceeded our full-year goal of $140.0 million in total operating expense reductions. Including energy expenses, our full-year operating expenses reductions for 2020 totaled approximately $325.0 million. We expect to continue to target and execute these expense reduction measures in 2021. We expect operating expenses on a system-wide basis for 2021 to be reduced by $200.0 million to $225.0 million annually as a result of our efforts versus historic levels, including the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration. We operated our refineries at reduced rates during the year ended December 31, 2020 and, based on current market conditions, we plan on continuing to operate our refineries at lower utilization until such time that sustained product demand justifies higher production. We expect near-term throughput to be in the 675,000 to 725,000 barrel per day range for our refining system.

East Coast Refining Reconfiguration

The East Coast Refining Reconfiguration was announced on October 29, 2020 and completed on December 31, 2020. It is expected to provide us with crude optionality and increased flexibility to respond to evolving market conditions. Our East Coast Refining System throughput capacity is approximately 285,000 barrels per day, reflecting the new configuration and idling of certain major processing units. Annual operating and capital expenditures savings are expected to be approximately $100.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, relative to average historic levels.

Refining Operations

We own and operate six refineries (two of which are operated as a single unit) that provide us with geographic and market diversity. We produce a variety of products at each of our refineries, including gasoline, ULSD, heating oil, jet fuel, lubricants, petrochemicals and asphalt. 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.

Our refinery assets as of December 31, 2020 are described below.

East Coast Refining System (Delaware City Refinery and Paulsboro Refinery)

    Overview. The Delaware City refinery is located on an approximately 5,000-acre site, with access to waterborne cargoes and an extensive distribution network of pipelines, barges and tankers, truck and rail. The Delaware City refinery is a fully integrated operation that receives crude via rail at crude unloading facilities owned by PBFX, or via ship or barge at the docks owned by the Delaware City refinery located on the Delaware River. The crude and other feedstocks are stored in an extensive tank farm prior to processing. In addition, there is a 15-lane, 76,000 bpd capacity truck loading rack (the “DCR Truck Rack”) located adjacent to the refinery and a 23-mile interstate pipeline (the “DCR Products Pipeline”) that are used to distribute clean products. The DCR Products Pipeline and DCR Truck Rack were sold to PBFX in May 2015 and PBFX owns additional assets that support the Delaware City refinery. The Paulsboro refinery is located on approximately 950 acres on the Delaware River in Paulsboro, New Jersey, near Philadelphia and approximately 30 miles away from Delaware City. Paulsboro receives crude and feedstocks via its marine terminal on the Delaware River.

    As a result of its configuration and process units, Delaware City has the capability of processing a slate of heavy crudes with a high concentration of high sulfur crudes, as well as other high sulfur feedstock when economically viable, and is one of the largest and most complex refineries on the East Coast. The Delaware City refinery is one of two heavy crude processing refineries, the other being our Paulsboro refinery, on the East Coast of the United States. The Delaware City coking capacity is equal to approximately 25% of crude capacity.

    The Delaware City refinery primarily processes a variety of medium to heavy, sour crude oils, but can run light, sweet crude oils as well. The refinery has large conversion capacity with its 82,000 bpd FCC unit, 54,500 bpd fluid coking unit and 24,000 bpd hydrocracking unit.

Feedstocks and Supply Arrangements. We source our crude oil needs for Delaware City primarily through short-term and spot market agreements. We have a contract with Saudi Aramco pursuant to which we have purchased up to approximately 100,000 bpd of crude oil from Saudi Aramco that is processed at Paulsboro. The crude purchased under this contract is priced off the ASCI.

Refined Product Yield and Distribution. The Delaware City refinery predominantly produces gasoline, jet fuel, ULSD and ultra-low sulfur heating oil as well as certain other products. Products produced at the Delaware City refinery are transferred to customers through pipelines, barges or at its truck rack. We market and sell all of our refined products independently to a variety of customers on the spot market or through term agreements. The Paulsboro refinery predominantly manufactures Group I base oils or lubricants and asphalt and jet fuel. Products produced at the Paulsboro refinery are transferred to customers primarily through pipelines, barges, or at its truck rack. We market and sell all of our refined products independently to a variety of customers on the spot market or through term agreements.

Inventory Intermediation Agreement. On August 29, 2019, we entered into amended and restated inventory intermediation agreements with J. Aron, (as amended from time to time, the “Inventory Intermediation Agreements”), to support the operations of the Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries. The Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR expires on June 30, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to June 30, 2022. The Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and PRC expires on December 31, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2022.

Pursuant to each Inventory Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron purchases and holds title to certain inventory, including crude oil, intermediate and certain finished products (the “J. Aron Products”), produced by the refinery and delivered into our storage tanks at the Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries and at PBFX’s assets acquired from Crown Point International in October 2018 (the “East Coast Storage Assets” and together with our storage tanks at the Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries, the “J. Aron Storage Tanks”). The J. Aron Products are sold back to us as the J. Aron Products are discharged out of our J. Aron Storage Tanks. At expiration or termination of each of the Inventory Intermediation Agreements, we will have to repurchase the inventories outstanding under the Inventory Intermediation Agreement at that time.

Tankage Capacity. The Delaware City refinery has total storage capacity of approximately 10.0 million barrels. Of the total, approximately 3.6 million barrels of storage capacity are dedicated to crude oil and other feedstock storage with the remaining 6.4 million barrels allocated to finished products, intermediates and other products. The Paulsboro refinery has total storage capacity of approximately 7.5 million barrels. Of the total, approximately 2.1 million barrels are dedicated to crude oil storage with the remaining 5.4 million barrels allocated to finished products, intermediates and other products.

Energy and Other Utilities. Under normal operating conditions, the Delaware City refinery consumes approximately 75,000 MMBTU per day of natural gas supplied via pipeline from third parties. The Delaware City refinery has a 280 MW power plant located on site that consists of two natural gas-fueled turbines with combined capacity of approximately 140 MW and four turbo generators with combined nameplate capacity of approximately 140 MW. Collectively, this power plant produces electricity in excess of Delaware City’s refinery load of approximately 90 MW. Excess electricity is sold into the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland, or PJM, grid. Steam is primarily produced by a combination of three dedicated boilers, two heat recovery steam generators on the gas turbines, and is supplemented by secondary boilers at the FCC and Coker. Hydrogen is currently provided via the refinery’s steam methane reformer and continuous catalytic reformer.

Under projected normal operating conditions for the reconfiguration, the Paulsboro refinery will consume approximately 38,000 MMBTU per day of natural gas supplied via pipeline from third parties. The Paulsboro refinery will be mostly self-sufficient for electrical power through a mix of gas and steam turbine generators. The Paulsboro refinery generation is projected to supply all of the 20MW total refinery load. There are circumstances where available generation is greater than the total refinery load, and the Paulsboro refinery can export up to about 40MW of power to the utility grid if warranted. If necessary, supplemental electrical power is available on a guaranteed basis from the local utility. The Paulsboro refinery is connected to the grid via three separate 69KV aerial feeders and has the ability to run entirely on imported power. Steam is produced in three boilers and a heat recovery steam generator fed by the exhaust from the gas turbine. In addition, there are a number of waste heat boilers and furnace stack economizers throughout the refinery that supplement the steam generation capacity. The Paulsboro refinery’s hydrogen needs will be met by the steam methane reformer as the catalytic reformer will be idled.

Hydrogen Plant Project. During 2018, we signed an agreement with a third-party for an additional supply of 25.0 million standard cubic feet per day of hydrogen from a new hydrogen generation facility constructed on the Delaware City site, which was completed in the second quarter of 2020. This additional hydrogen provides additional complex crude and feedstock processing capabilities.

On July 16, 2018, PBFX entered into four contribution agreements with PBF LLC pursuant to which we contributed to PBF LLC certain of its subsidiaries (the “Development Assets Contribution Agreements”). Pursuant to the Development Asset Contribution Agreements, we contributed all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of: Toledo Rail Logistics Company LLC, whose assets consist of a loading and unloading rail facility located at the Toledo refinery (the “Toledo Rail Products Facility”); Chalmette Logistics Company LLC, whose assets consist of a truck loading rack facility (the “Chalmette Truck Rack”) and a rail yard facility (the “Chalmette Rosin Yard”), both of which are located at the Chalmette refinery; Paulsboro Terminaling Company LLC, whose assets consist of a lube oil terminal facility located at the Paulsboro refinery (the “Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal”); and DCR Storage and Loading Company LLC, whose assets consist of an ethanol storage facility located at the Delaware City refinery (collectively with the Toledo Rail Products Facility, the Chalmette Truck Rack, the Chalmette Rosin Yard, and the Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal, the “Development Assets”) to PBF LLC. PBFX Operating Company LLC (“PBFX Op Co”), in turn acquired the

19

limited liability company interests in the Development Assets from PBF LLC in connection with the Development Assets Contribution Agreements effective July 31, 2018.

On April 24, 2019, PBFX entered into a contribution agreement with PBF LLC, pursuant to which we contributed to PBF LLC, which in turn contributed to PBFX, all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVP Holding Company LLC (“TVP Holding”) for total consideration of $200.0 million (the “TVPC Acquisition”). Prior to the TVPC Acquisition, TVP Holding (then our subsidiary) owned a 50% equity interest in Torrance Valley Pipeline Company LLC (“TVPC”). Subsequent to the closing of the TVPC Acquisition on May 31, 2019, PBFX owns 100% of the equity interests in TVPC.

Commercial Agreements

PBFX currently derives the majority of its revenue from long-term, fee-based agreements with us, which generally include a minimum volume commitment (“MVC”), as applicable, and are supported by contractual fee escalations for inflation adjustments and certain increases in operating costs. We believe the terms and conditions under these agreements, as well as the Omnibus Agreement and the Services Agreement (each as defined below), each with PBFX, are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services.

Refer to “Note 11 - Related Party Transactions” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the commercial agreements with PBFX.

Omnibus Agreement

In addition to the commercial agreements described above, PBFX entered into an omnibus agreement, which has been amended and restated in connection with the closing of certain of the Contribution Agreements with PBF GP, PBF LLC and us (as amended, the “Omnibus Agreement”). The Omnibus Agreement addresses the payment of an annual fee for the provision of various general and administrative services and reimbursement of salary and benefit costs for certain PBF Energy employees.

The annual fee under the Omnibus Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $7.6 million, inclusive of obligations under the Omnibus Agreement to reimburse us for certain compensation and benefit costs of employees who devoted more than 50% of their time to PBFX during the year ended December 31, 2020. We currently estimate to receive $8.3 million, inclusive of estimated obligations under the Omnibus Agreement as a reimbursement for certain compensation and benefit costs of employees who devote more than 50% of their time to PBFX for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Services Agreement

Additionally, PBFX entered into an operation and management services and secondment agreement with us and certain of our subsidiaries (as amended, the “Services Agreement”), pursuant to which we provide PBFX with the personnel necessary for PBFX to perform its obligations under its commercial agreements. PBFX reimburses us for the use of such employees and the provision of certain infrastructure-related services to the extent applicable to its operations, including storm water discharge and waste water treatment, steam, potable water, access to certain roads and grounds, sanitary sewer access, electrical power, emergency response, filter press, fuel gas, API solids treatment, fire water and compressed air. For the year ended December 31, 2020, PBFX paid us an annual fee of $8.7 million pursuant to the Services Agreement and we currently estimate to receive the same annual reimbursement pursuant to the Services Agreement for the year ending December 31, 2021.

20

On February 13, 2019, we amended the existing Amended and Restated Delaware City Rail Terminaling Services Agreement, by and between Delaware City Terminaling Company LLC and us (as amended effective January 1, 2019, the “Amended and Restated Delaware City Rail Terminaling Services Agreement”) for the inclusion of services through certain rail infrastructure at PBFX’s acquired East Coast Storage Assets (the “East Coast Rail Assets”). We also entered into a new Terminaling Services Agreement, by and between Delaware City Terminaling Company and us, with a four-year term starting in 2022, subsequent to the expiration of the Amended and Restated Delaware City Rail Terminaling Services Agreement, related to the DCR Rail Facilities and the East Coast Rail Assets, which will reduce the MVC to 95,000 bpd and includes additional services to be provided by PBFX as operator of facilities owned by our subsidiaries.

The Services Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Omnibus Agreement, provided that PBFX may terminate any service on 30-days’ notice.

Principal Products

Our refineries make various grades of gasoline, distillates (including diesel fuel, jet fuel, and ULSD) and other products from crude oil, other feedstocks, and blending components. We sell these products through our commercial accounts, and sales with major oil companies. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, gasoline and distillates accounted for 85.1%, 87.0% and 84.8% of our revenues, respectively.

Customers

We sell a variety of refined products to a diverse customer base. The majority of our refined products are primarily sold through short-term contracts or on the spot market. However, we do have product offtake arrangements for a portion of our clean products. For the year ended December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of our revenues (approximately 13%). For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenues. As of December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of our total trade accounts receivable (approximately 17%). No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019.

Seasonality

Traditionally, demand for gasoline and diesel is generally higher during the summer months than during the winter months due to seasonal increases in highway traffic and construction work. Decreased demand during the winter months can lower gasoline and diesel prices. However, during 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental responses, the effects of seasonality on our operating results were skewed. Our operating results have been negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which has caused a significant decline in the demand for our refined products and a decrease in the prices for crude oil and refined products.

Competition

The refining business is very competitive. We compete directly with various other refining companies on the East, Gulf and West Coasts and in the Mid-Continent, with integrated oil companies, with foreign refiners that import products into the United States and with producers and marketers in other industries supplying alternative forms of energy and fuels to satisfy the requirements of industrial, commercial and individual consumers. Some of our competitors have expanded the capacity of their refineries and internationally new refineries are coming on line which could also affect our competitive position.

Profitability in the refining industry depends largely on refined product margins, which can fluctuate significantly, as well as crude oil prices and differentials between the prices of different grades of crude oil, operating efficiency and reliability, product mix and costs of product distribution and transportation. Certain of our competitors that have larger and more complex refineries may be able to realize lower per-barrel costs or higher margins per barrel of throughput. Several of our principal competitors are integrated national or

21

international oil companies that are larger and have substantially greater resources. Because of their integrated operations and larger capitalization, these companies may be more flexible in responding to volatile industry or market conditions, such as shortages of feedstocks or intense price fluctuations. Refining margins are frequently impacted by sharp changes in crude oil costs, which may not be immediately reflected in product prices.

The refining industry is highly competitive with respect to feedstock supply. Unlike certain of our competitors that have access to proprietary controlled sources of crude oil production available for use at their own refineries, we obtain all of our crude oil and substantially all other feedstocks from unaffiliated sources. The availability and cost of crude oil and feedstock are affected by global supply and demand. We have no crude oil reserves and are not engaged in the exploration or production of crude oil. We believe, however, that we will be able to obtain adequate crude oil and other feedstocks at generally competitive prices for the foreseeable future.

Pursuant to its Renewable Fuel Standard, EPA has implemented mandates to blend renewable fuels into the petroleum fuels produced and sold in the United States. However, unlike certain of our competitors, we currently do not produce renewable fuels, and increasing the volume of renewable fuels that must be blended into our products displaces an increasing volume of our refineries’ product pool, potentially resulting in lower earnings and profitability. In addition, in order to meet certain of these and future EPA requirements, we may be required to continue to purchase RINs, which historically had, and we expect to have, fluctuating costs based on market conditions. The price of RINs has increased in 2020 and could increase further in 2021.

Corporate Offices

We currently lease approximately 63,000 square feet for our principal corporate offices in Parsippany, New Jersey. The lease for our principal corporate offices expires in 2022. Functions performed in the Parsippany office include overall corporate management, refinery and health, safety and environmental management, planning and strategy, corporate finance, commercial operations, logistics, contract administration, marketing, investor relations, governmental affairs, accounting, tax, treasury, information technology, legal and human resources support functions.

We lease approximately 4,000 square feet for our regional corporate office in Long Beach, California. The lease for our Long Beach office expires in 2021. Functions performed in the Long Beach office include overall regional corporate management, planning and strategy, commercial operations, logistics, contract administration, marketing and governmental affairs.

Employees and Human Capital

Safety

We believe our responsibility to our employees, neighbors, members and the environment is only fulfilled through our commitment to safety and reliability. Through rigorous training, sharing of expertise across our sites, continuous monitoring and through promoting a culture of excellence in operations, we continuously strive to keep our people, the communities in which we operate in and the environment safe.

Our focus on safety is also evident in our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to utilize our COVID-19 response team to implement additional social distancing measures across the workplace in addition to the continued enhancement of personal protective equipment and the cleanliness of our facilities. Through the guidance of our COVID-19 response team, we have started to bring back a portion of our workforce to their primary locations on a phased in approach, and we will continue to rely on our team and the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic as we evaluate the appropriate time and way in which we will phase in the return of the rest of our workforce.

22

We are subject to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor (“OSHA”) and comparable state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard requires that information be maintained about hazardous materials used or produced in operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and citizens. We believe that our operations are in compliance with OSHA requirements, including general industry standards, record keeping requirements and monitoring of occupational exposure to regulated substances.

Development and Retention

The development, attraction and retention of employees is a critical success factor for our Company. To support the advancement of our employees, we offer rigorous training and development programs and encourage the sharing of expertise across our sites. We actively promote inclusion and diversity in our workforce at each of our locations and provide our employees with opportunities to give back through engagement in our local communities through supportive educational programs, philanthropic and volunteer activities.

We believe that a combination of competitive compensation and career growth and development opportunities help increase employee morale and reduce voluntary turnover. Our comprehensive benefit packages are competitive in the marketplace and we believe in recognizing and rewarding talent through our various cash and equity compensation programs.

Headcount

As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately 3,638 employees, of which 1,931 are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Our hourly employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements through the United Steel Workers (“USW”), the Independent Oil Workers (“IOW”) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (“IBEW”). We consider our relations with the represented employees to be satisfactory.

Environmental, Health and Safety Matters

Our 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, 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. Permits are also required under these laws for the operation of our refineries, pipelines and related operations and these permits are subject to revocation, modification and renewal. Compliance with applicable environmental laws, regulations and permits will continue to have an impact on our operations, results of operations and capital requirements. We believe that our current operations are in substantial compliance with existing environmental laws, regulations and permits.

We incorporate by reference into this Item the environmental disclosures contained in the following sections of this report:

•Item 1A. “Risk Factors”

◦ We may incur significant liability under, or costs and capital expenditures to comply with, environmental and health and safety regulations, which are complex and change frequently;

◦ Environmental clean-up and remediation costs of our sites and environmental litigation could decrease our net cash flow, reduce our results of operations and impair our financial condition;

◦ We may have capital needs for which our internally generated cash flows and other sources of liquidity may not be adequate;

◦ We are subject to strict laws and regulations regarding employee and process safety, and failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and profitability;

◦ Changes in laws or standards affecting the transportation of North American crude oil by rail could significantly impact our operations, and as a result cause our costs to increase.

◦ We could incur substantial costs or disruptions in our business if we cannot obtain or maintain necessary permits and authorizations or otherwise comply with health, safety, environmental and other laws and regulations.

Applicable Federal and State Regulatory Requirements

As is the case with all companies engaged in industries similar to ours, we face potential exposure to future claims and lawsuits involving environmental and safety matters. These matters include soil and water contamination, air pollution, personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by substances which we manufactured, handled, used, released or disposed of.

Current and future environmental regulations are expected to require additional expenditures, including expenditures for investigation and remediation, which may be significant, at our refineries and at our other facilities. To the extent that future expenditures for these purposes are material and can be reasonably determined, these costs are disclosed and accrued.

Our operations are also subject to various laws and regulations relating to occupational health and safety. We maintain safety training and maintenance programs as part of our ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Compliance with applicable health and safety laws and regulations has required and continues to require substantial expenditures.

We cannot predict what additional health, safety and environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted or become effective in the future or how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted with respect to our operations. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations or adverse changes in the interpretation of existing requirements or discovery of new information such as unknown contamination could have an adverse effect on the financial position and the results of our operations and could require substantial expenditures for the installation and operation of systems and equipment that we do not currently possess.

We incorporate by reference into this Item the federal and state regulatory requirements disclosures contained in the following sections of this report:

Risk Factors

You should carefully read the risks and uncertainties described below. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows would likely suffer.

Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations in 2020 and caused our market value to substantially decline, and may continue to do so thereafter. There can be no assurance that our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations will revert to pre-2020 levels once the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic cease.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain developments in the global oil markets negatively impacted worldwide economic and commercial activity and financial markets, as well as global demand for petroleum and petrochemical products in 2020 and is expected to continue in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental responses resulted in significant business and operational disruptions, including business closures, supply chain disruptions, travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders and limitations on the availability of workforces. Largely, as a result of decreased demand for our products, our business results and cash flows were significantly adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, PBF Holding’s earnings and cash flow from operations decreased from $388.2 million and $789.6 million in 2019 to $(1,857.5) million and $(820.0) million in 2020, respectively.

In addition, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has created simultaneous shocks in oil supply and demand resulting in an economic challenge to our industry which has not occurred since our formation. We expect the combination of significant demand reduction for our refined products and abnormal volatility in oil commodity prices to continue for the foreseeable future. The duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and these market developments is unknown. The continued negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and these market developments on our business and operations will depend on the ongoing severity, location and duration of the effects and spread of COVID-19, the effectiveness of the vaccine programs and the other actions undertaken by national, regional and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effects, and how quickly and to what extent economic conditions improve and normal business and operating conditions resume in 2021 or thereafter.

We continue to work with federal, state and local health authorities to respond to COVID-19 cases in the regions we operate and are taking or supporting measures to try to limit the spread of the virus and to mitigate the burden on the healthcare system. Many of these measures will continue to have an adverse impact on our business and financial results that we are not currently able to fully quantify. For example, we are continuing to phase back employees to their respective work locations and we are carefully evaluating projects at our refineries and limiting or postponing projects and other non-essential work. Based on market conditions, our refineries operated at reduced rates in 2020 and we expect them to continue to do so until market conditions substantially improve. We significantly reduced our capital expenditures in 2020 and have lowered our capital program for 2021 as compared to historic levels. We have planned a level of capital expenditures we believe will allow us to satisfy and comply with all required safety, environmental and planned regulatory capital commitments and other regulatory requirements, although there are no assurances that we will be able to continue to do so. Non-compliance with applicable environmental and safety requirements, including as a result of reduced staff due to an outbreak at one of our refineries, may impair our operations, may subject us to fines or penalties assessed by governmental authorities and/or may result in an environmental or safety incident. We may also be subject to liability as a result of claims against us by impacted workers or third parties.

27

The East Coast Refining Reconfiguration was announced on October 29, 2020 and completed on December 31, 2020. It is expected to provide us with crude optionality and increased flexibility to respond to evolving market conditions. Our East Coast Refining System throughput capacity is approximately 285,000 barrels per day, reflecting the new configuration and idling of certain major processing units. Annual operating and capital expenditures savings are expected to be approximately $100.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, relative to average historic levels. There is no certainty that we will be able to achieve these cost savings measures as part of our new configuration.

The persistence or worsening or market conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic may require us to raise additional capital to meet our obligations and operate our business.

In 2020, low crude oil prices and deteriorating market conditions reduced our borrowing capacity under our asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and our borrowing capacity is expected to be similarly affected in 2021. Our borrowing base availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $2,759.2 million as of December 31, 2020. In 2020, we required additional capital and raised approximately $1.8 billion through $1.3 billion of secured debt issuances and approximately $550.0 million of asset divestitures. Certain of these asset divestitures were accompanied by payment and/or purchase obligations that will impact our liquidity in 2021 and beyond. If current market conditions persist or worsen, we may require additional capital to meet these obligations as well as to operate our business, and additional financing and/or assets sales may not be possible on favorable terms or at all. Broad economic factors resulting from the current COVID-19 pandemic, including increasing unemployment rates, substantially reduced travel and reduced business and consumer spending, also affect our business.

Demand for our refined products has significantly declined and we expect reduced demand to continue into 2021.

Business closings and layoffs in the markets we operate has adversely affected demand for our refined products. Sustained deterioration of general economic conditions or weak demand levels persisting in 2021 could require additional actions on our part to lower our operating costs, including temporarily or permanently ceasing to operate units at our facilities, as occurred in 2020 in the case of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration. There may be significant incremental costs associated with such actions. Continued or further deterioration of economic conditions may harm our liquidity and ability to repay our outstanding debt.

We recorded an impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2020 and may be required to record additional impairment charges.

We recorded impairment expense totaling $91.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, associated with the write-down of certain assets as a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration and other refinery wide project abandonments. In addition, as a result of enduring throughput reductions across our refineries and noticeable decrease in demand for our products, we determined that an impairment triggering event had occurred. Therefore, we performed an impairment assessment on certain long-lived assets as of December 31, 2020. As a result of the impairment test, we determined that our long-lived assets were not impaired when comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets over their remaining estimated useful life. If adverse market conditions persist or there is further deterioration in the general economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there could be additional indicators that our assets are impaired requiring evaluation that may result in future impairment charges to earnings. Any impairment could have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In addition, our results and financial condition may be adversely affected by federal or state laws, regulations, orders, or other governmental or regulatory actions addressing the current COVID-19 pandemic or the U.S. refining industry, which, if adopted, could result in direct or indirect restrictions to our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

28

Furthermore, the current COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in the financial markets and the businesses of financial institutions. These factors have caused a slowdown in the decision-making of these institutions, which may affect the timing on which we may obtain any additional funding. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

The foregoing and other continued disruptions to our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in a material adverse effect on our business, result of operations, financial condition, cash flows and our ability to service our indebtedness and other obligations. There can also be no assurance that our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations will revert to pre-2020 levels once the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic cease.

To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks associated with our company, our business and our industry, as those risk factors are amended or supplemented by reports and documents we file with the SEC after the date of this Form 10-K.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

The price volatility of crude oil, other feedstocks, blendstocks, refined products and fuel and utility services may have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability, cash flows and liquidity.

Our revenues, profitability, cash flows and liquidity from operations depend primarily on the margin above operating expenses (including the cost of refinery feedstocks, such as crude oil, intermediate partially refined petroleum products, and natural gas liquids that are processed and blended into refined products) at which we are able to sell refined products. Refining is primarily a margin-based business and, to increase profitability, it is important to maximize the yields of high value finished products while minimizing the costs of feedstock and operating expenses. When the margin between refined product prices and crude oil and other feedstock costs contracts, as occurred in 2020, our earnings, profitability and cash flows are negatively affected. While the COVID-19 pandemic was the primary driver of the impact to our earnings, profitability and cash flows in 2020, historically, refining margins have been volatile, and are likely to continue to be volatile, as a result of a variety of factors, including fluctuations in the prices of crude oil, other feedstocks, refined products and fuel and utility services. An increase or decrease in the price of crude oil will likely result in a similar increase or decrease in prices for refined products; however, there may be a time lag in the realization, or no such realization, of the similar increase or decrease in prices for refined products. The effect of changes in crude oil prices on our refining margins therefore depends in part on how quickly and how fully refined product prices adjust to reflect these changes.

Although we reduced our crude oil, feedstock and refined product inventories in 2020 to strengthen our financial position in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, historically, the nature of our business has required us to maintain substantial crude oil, feedstock and refined product inventories. Because crude oil, feedstock and refined products are commodities, we have no control over the changing market value of these inventories. Our crude oil, feedstock and refined product inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value under the last-in-first-out (“LIFO”) inventory valuation methodology. If the market value of our crude oil, feedstock and refined product inventory declines to an amount less than our LIFO cost, we would record a write-down of inventory and a non-cash impact to cost of products and other. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an adjustment to value our inventories to the lower of cost or market which decreased both income from operations and net income by $268.0 million, reflecting the net change in the LCM inventory reserve from $401.6 million at December 31, 2019 to $669.6 million at December 31, 2020.

Prices of crude oil, other feedstocks, blendstocks, and refined products depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the supply of and demand for crude oil, other feedstocks, gasoline, diesel, ethanol, asphalt and other refined products. Such supply and demand are affected by a variety of economic, market, environmental and political conditions.

29

Our direct operating expense structure also impacts our profitability. Our major direct operating expenses include employee and contract labor, maintenance and energy. Our predominant variable direct operating cost is energy, which is comprised primarily of fuel and other utility services. The volatility in costs of fuel, principally natural gas, and other utility services, principally electricity, used by our refineries and other operations affect our operating costs. Fuel and utility prices have been, and will continue to be, affected by factors outside our control, such as supply and demand for fuel and utility services in both local and regional markets. Natural gas prices have historically been volatile and, typically, electricity prices fluctuate with natural gas prices. Future increases in fuel and utility prices may have a negative effect on our refining margins, profitability and cash flows.

Our working capital, cash flows and liquidity can be significantly impacted by volatility in commodity prices and refined product demand.

Payment terms for our crude oil purchases are typically longer than those terms we extend to our customers for sales of refined products. Additionally, reductions in crude oil purchases tend to lag demand decreases for our refined products. As a result of this timing differential, the payables for our crude oil purchases are generally proportionally larger than the receivables for our refined product sales. As we are normally in a net payables position, a decrease in commodity prices generally results in a use of working capital. Given we process a significant volume of crude oil, the impact can materially affect our working capital, cash flows and liquidity, all of which were, and continue to be, adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our profitability is affected by crude oil differentials and related factors, which fluctuate substantially.

A significant portion of our profitability is derived from the ability to purchase and process crude oil feedstocks that historically have been less expensive than benchmark crude oils, such as the heavy, sour crude oils processed at our Delaware City, Paulsboro, Chalmette, Torrance and Martinez refineries. For our Toledo refinery, aside from recent crude differential volatility, purchased crude prices have historically been slightly above the WTI benchmark, however, such crude slate typically results in favorable refinery production yield. For all locations, these crude oil differentials can vary significantly from quarter to quarter depending on overall economic conditions and trends and conditions within the markets for crude oil and refined products. Any change in these crude oil differentials may have an impact on our earnings. Our rail investment and strategy to acquire cost advantaged Mid-Continent and Canadian crude, which are priced based on WTI, could be adversely affected when the WTI/Dated Brent or related differentials narrow. A narrowing of the WTI/Dated Brent differential may result in our Toledo refinery losing a portion of its crude oil price advantage over certain of our competitors, which negatively impacts our profitability. In addition, efforts in Canada to control the imbalance between its production and capacity to export crude may continue to result in price volatility and the narrowing of the WTI/WCS differential, which is a proxy for the difference between light U.S. and heavy Canadian crude oil, and may reduce our refining margins and adversely affect our profitability and earnings. Divergent views have been expressed as to the expected magnitude of changes to these crude differentials in future periods. Any continued or further narrowing of these differentials could have a material adverse effect on our business and profitability.

Additionally, governmental and regulatory actions, including continued resolutions by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to restrict crude oil production levels and executive actions by the current U.S. presidential administration to advance certain energy infrastructure projects such as the Keystone XL pipeline, may continue to impact crude oil prices and crude oil differentials. Any increase in crude oil prices or unfavorable movements in crude oil differentials due to such actions or changing regulatory environment may negatively impact our ability to acquire crude oil at economical prices and could have a material adverse effect on our business and profitability.

30

A significant interruption or casualty loss at any of our refineries and related assets could reduce our production, particularly if not fully covered by our insurance. Failure by one or more insurers to honor its coverage commitments for an insured event could materially and adversely affect our future cash flows, operating results and financial condition.

Our business currently consists of owning and operating six refineries and related assets. As a result, our operations could be subject to significant interruption if any of our refineries were to experience a major accident, be damaged by severe weather or other natural disaster, or otherwise be forced to shut down or curtail production due to unforeseen events, such as acts of God, nature, orders of governmental authorities, supply chain disruptions impacting our crude rail facilities or other logistics assets, power outages, acts of terrorism, fires, toxic emissions and maritime hazards. Any such shutdown or disruption would reduce the production from that refinery. There is also risk of mechanical failure and equipment shutdowns both in general and following unforeseen events. Further, in such situations, undamaged refinery processing units may be dependent on or interact with damaged sections of our refineries and, accordingly, are also subject to being shut down. In the event any of our refineries is forced to shut down for a significant period of time, it would have a material adverse effect on our earnings, our other results of operations and our financial condition as a whole.

As protection against these hazards, we maintain insurance coverage against some, but not all, such potential losses and liabilities, including claims against us by third parties relating to our operations and products. We may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount we desire at reasonable rates. As a result of market conditions, premiums and deductibles for certain of our insurance policies may increase substantially. In some instances, certain insurance could become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. For example, coverage for hurricane damage can be limited, and coverage for terrorism risks can include broad exclusions. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

Our insurance program includes a number of insurance carriers. Significant disruptions in financial markets could lead to a deterioration in the financial condition of many financial institutions, including insurance companies and, therefore, we may not be able to obtain the full amount of our insurance coverage for insured events. Even where we have insurance in place, there can be no assurance that the carriers will honor their obligations under the policies.

Our refineries are subject to interruptions of supply and distribution as a result of our reliance on pipelines and railroads for transportation of crude oil and refined products.

Our Toledo, Chalmette, Torrance and Martinez refineries receive a significant portion of their crude oil through our owned, as well as third party, pipelines. These pipelines include the Enbridge system, Capline and Mid-Valley pipelines for supplying crude to our Toledo refinery, the MOEM Pipeline (which is owned by PBFX) and CAM Pipeline for supplying crude to our Chalmette refinery and the San Joaquin Pipeline, San Pablo Bay Pipeline, San Ardo and Coastal Pipeline systems for supplying crude to our Torrance and Martinez refineries. Additionally, our Toledo, Chalmette, Torrance and Martinez refineries deliver a significant portion of the refined products through pipelines. These pipelines include pipelines such as the Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. and Buckeye Partners L.P. pipelines at Toledo, the Collins pipeline (which is owned by PBFX) at our Chalmette refinery, the Jet Pipeline to the Los Angeles International Airport, the Product Pipeline to Vernon and the Product Pipeline to Atwood at our Torrance refinery and the KinderMorgan SFPP North Pipeline at our Martinez refinery. We could experience an interruption of supply or delivery, or an increased cost of receiving crude oil and delivering refined products to market, if the ability of these pipelines to transport crude oil or refined products is disrupted because of accidents, weather interruptions, governmental regulation, terrorism, other third-party action or casualty or other events.

31

The Delaware City rail unloading facilities and the East Coast Storage Assets allow our East Coast Refining System to source WTI-based crudes from Western Canada and the Mid-Continent, which may provide significant cost advantages versus traditional Brent-based international crudes in certain market environments. Any disruptions or restrictions to our supply of crude by rail due to problems with third-party logistics infrastructure or operations or as a result of increased regulations, could increase our crude costs and negatively impact our results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, due to the common carrier regulatory obligation applicable to interstate oil pipelines, capacity allocation among shippers can become contentious in the event demand is in excess of capacity. Therefore, nominations by new shippers or increased nominations by existing shippers may reduce the capacity available to us. Any prolonged interruption in the operation or curtailment of available capacity of the pipelines that we rely upon for transportation of crude oil and refined products could have a further material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Regulation of emissions of greenhouse gases could force us to incur increased capital and operating costs and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Both houses of Congress have actively considered legislation to reduce emissions of GHGs, such as carbon dioxide and methane, including proposals to: (i) establish a cap and trade system, (ii) create a federal renewable energy or “clean” energy standard requiring electric utilities to provide a certain percentage of power from such sources, and (iii) create enhanced incentives for use of renewable energy and increased efficiency in energy supply and use. In addition, EPA is taking steps to regulate GHGs under the existing federal CAA. EPA has already adopted regulations limiting emissions of GHGs from motor vehicles, addressing the permitting of GHG emissions from stationary sources, and requiring the reporting of GHG emissions from specified large GHG emission sources, including refineries. These and similar regulations could require us to incur costs to monitor and report GHG emissions or reduce emissions of GHGs associated with our operations. In addition, various states, individually as well as in some cases on a regional basis, have taken steps to control GHG emissions, including adoption of GHG reporting requirements, cap and trade systems and renewable portfolio standards (such as AB32). On September 23, 2020 the Governor of California issued an executive order effectively banning the sale of new gasoline-powered passenger cars and trucks by 2035 and requiring zero-emission medium to heavy duty vehicles by 2045 everywhere feasible. The executive order requires state agencies to build out sufficient electric vehicle charging infrastructure. It is not possible at this time to predict the ultimate form, timing or extent of federal or state regulation. In addition, it is currently uncertain how the current presidential administration or future administrations will address GHG emissions. In the event we do incur increased costs as a result of increased efforts to control GHG emissions, we may not be able to pass on any of these costs to our customers. Regulatory requirements also could adversely affect demand for the refined petroleum products that we produce. Any increased costs or reduced demand could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

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 Senate Bill 32 which further reduces greenhouse gas emissions targets to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. Two regulations implemented to achieve these goals are Cap-and-Trade and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”). In 2012, CARB implemented Cap-and-Trade. This program currently places a cap on GHGs and we are required to acquire a sufficient number of credits to cover emissions from our refineries and our in-state sales of gasoline and diesel. In 2009, CARB adopted the LCFS, which required a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity of gasoline and diesel by 2020. In 2018, CARB amended the LCFS to require a 20% reduction by 2030. Compliance is achieved through blending lower carbon intensity biofuels into gasoline and diesel or by purchasing credits. Compliance with each of these programs is facilitated through a market-based credit system. If sufficient credits are unavailable for purchase or we are unable to pass through costs to our customers, we have to pay a higher price for credits or if we are otherwise unable to meet our compliance obligations, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

32

On September 23, 2020, the California Governor issued Executive Order N-79-20 (“N-79-20 Order”) intended to further reduce GHGs within the state. The N-79-20 Order sets a 2035 goal of no sale of internal combustion engines for passenger cars and pickup trucks within California, and a 2045 goal of no sale of internal combustion engine medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and off-road vehicles and equipment. However, the N-79-20 Order would still allow used internal combustion engine vehicles to be used and sold after these dates. The N-79-20 Order encourages zero emissions technologies such as electric vehicles, and accelerated deployment of affordable fueling and charging options. It is currently uncertain how the N-79-20 Order may be ultimately implemented by various California regulatory agencies. In the event we do incur increased costs as a result of increased efforts to control GHG emissions through future adopted regulatory requirements, we may not be able to pass these costs to our customers. These future regulatory requirements also could adversely affect demand for the refined petroleum products that we produce. Any increased costs or reduced demand could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We may not be able to successfully integrate the recently acquired Martinez refinery into our business, or realize the anticipated benefits of this acquisition.

The integration of the recently acquired Martinez refinery into our operations has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and may continue to be a complex and time-consuming process that may not be successful. Even if we successfully integrate this business into our operations, there can be no assurance that we will realize the anticipated benefits and operating synergies. Our estimates regarding the earnings, operating cash flow, capital expenditures and liabilities resulting from this acquisition may prove to be incorrect. This acquisition involves risks, including:

•unexpected losses of key employees, customers and suppliers of the acquired operations;

•challenges in managing the increased scope, geographic diversity and complexity of our operations;

•diversion of management time and attention from our existing business;

•liability for known or unknown environmental conditions or other contingent liabilities and greater than anticipated expenditures required for compliance with environmental, safety or other regulatory standards or for investments to improve operating results; and

•the incurrence of additional indebtedness to finance acquisitions or capital expenditures relating to acquired assets.

In connection with the Martinez Acquisition, we did not have access to the type of historical financial information that we may require regarding the prior operation of the refinery. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to evaluate the probable impact of this acquisition on our financial performance until we have operated the acquired refinery for a substantial period of time.

A cyber-attack on, or other failure of, our technology infrastructure could affect our business and assets, and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We are becoming increasingly dependent on our technology infrastructure and certain critical information systems which process, transmit and store electronic information, including information we use to safely and effectively operate our respective assets and businesses. These information systems include data network and telecommunications, internet access, our websites, and various computer hardware equipment and software applications, including those that are critical to the safe operation of our refineries and logistics assets. We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, significant time, manpower and capital in our technology infrastructure and information systems. These information systems are subject to damage or interruption from a number of potential sources including natural disasters, software viruses or other malware, power failures, cybersecurity threats to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information, cyber-attacks, which may render data systems unusable, and physical threats to the security of our facilities and infrastructure. Additionally, our business is highly dependent on financial, accounting and other data processing systems and other communications and information systems, including our enterprise resource planning tools. We process a large number of transactions on a daily basis and rely upon the proper functioning of computer systems. Furthermore, we rely on information systems across our respective operations, including the management of supply chain and

33

various other processes and transactions. As a result, a disruption on any information systems at our refineries or logistics assets, may cause disruptions to our collective operations.

The potential for such security threats or system failures has subjected our operations to increased risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business. To the extent that these information systems are under our control, we have implemented measures such as virus protection software, emergency recovery processes and a formal disaster recovery plan to address the outlined risks. However, security measures for information systems cannot be guaranteed to be failsafe, and our formal disaster recovery plan and other implemented measures may not prevent delays or other complications that could arise from an information systems failure. If a key system were hacked or otherwise interfered with by an unauthorized user, or were to fail or experience unscheduled downtime for any reason, even if only for a short period, or any compromise of our data security or our inability to use or access these information systems at critical points in time, it could unfavorably impact the timely and efficient operation of our business, damage our reputation and subject us to additional costs and liabilities. The implementation of social distancing measures and other limitations on our workforce in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have necessitated portions of our workforce switching to remote work arrangements. The increase in companies and individuals working remotely has increased the frequency and scope of cyber-attacks and the risk of potential cybersecurity incidents, both deliberate attacks and unintentional events. While, to date, we have not had a significant cybersecurity breach or attack that had a material impact on our business or results of operations, if we were to be subject to a material successful cyber intrusion, it could result in remediation or service restoration costs, increased cyber protection costs, lost revenues, litigation or regulatory actions by governmental authorities, increased insurance premiums, reputational damage and damage to our competitiveness, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Cyber-attacks against us or others in our industry could result in additional regulations, and U.S. government warnings have indicated that infrastructure assets, including pipelines, may be specifically targeted by certain groups. These attacks include, without limitation, malicious software, ransomware, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data, and other electronic security breaches. These attacks may be perpetrated by state-sponsored groups, “hacktivists”, criminal organizations or private individuals (including employee malfeasance). Current efforts by the federal government, such as the Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure executive order, and any potential future regulations could lead to increased regulatory compliance costs, insurance coverage cost or capital expenditures. We cannot predict the potential impact to our business or the energy industry resulting from additional regulations.

Further, our business interruption insurance may not compensate us adequately for losses that may occur. We do not carry insurance specifically for cybersecurity events; however, certain of our insurance policies may allow for coverage for a cyber-event resulting in ensuing property damage from an otherwise insured peril. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the proceeds of any such insurance may not be paid in a timely manner and may be insufficient if such an event were to occur.

Our hedging activities may limit our potential gains, exacerbate potential losses and involve other risks.

We may enter into commodity derivatives contracts to hedge our crude price risk or crack spread risk with respect to a portion of our expected gasoline and distillate production on a rolling basis or to hedge our exposure to the price of natural gas, which is a significant component of our refinery operating expenses. Consistent with that policy we may hedge some percentage of our future crude and natural gas supply. We may enter into hedging arrangements with the intent to secure a minimum fixed cash flow stream on the volume of products hedged during the hedge term and to protect against volatility in commodity prices. Our hedging arrangements may fail to fully achieve these objectives for a variety of reasons, including our failure to have adequate hedging arrangements, if any, in effect at any particular time and the failure of our hedging arrangements to produce the anticipated results. We may not be able to procure adequate hedging arrangements due to a variety of factors. Moreover, such transactions may limit our ability to benefit from favorable changes in crude oil, refined product and natural gas prices.

34

In addition, our hedging activities may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances in which:

•the volumes of our actual use of crude oil or natural gas or production of the applicable refined products is less than the volumes subject to the hedging arrangement;

•accidents, interruptions in feedstock transportation, inclement weather or other events cause unscheduled shutdowns or otherwise adversely affect our refineries, or those of our suppliers or customers;

•changes in commodity prices have a material impact on collateral and margin requirements under our hedging arrangements, resulting in us being subject to margin calls;

•the counterparties to our derivative contracts fail to perform under the contracts; or

•a sudden, unexpected event materially impacts the commodity or crack spread subject to the hedging arrangement.

As a result, the effectiveness of our hedging strategy could have a material impact on our financial results. See “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

In addition, these hedging activities involve basis risk. Basis risk in a hedging arrangement occurs when the price of the commodity we hedge is more or less variable than the index upon which the hedged commodity is based, thereby making the hedge less effective. For example, a NYMEX index used for hedging certain volumes of our crude oil or refined products may have more or less variability than the actual cost or price we realize for such crude oil or refined products. We may not hedge all the basis risk inherent in our hedging arrangements and derivative contracts.

We may have capital needs for which our internally generated cash flows and other sources of liquidity may not be adequate.

Our cash flow from operations decreased from $789.6 million in 2019 to a loss of $820.0 million in 2020. If our cash flow from operations does not improve in 2021 or we cannot otherwise secure sufficient liquidity to support our short-term and long-term capital requirements, we may not be able to meet our payment obligations or our future debt obligations, comply with certain deadlines related to environmental regulations and standards, or pursue our business strategies, including acquisitions, in which case our operations may not perform as we currently expect. We have substantial short-term capital needs and may have substantial long-term capital needs. Our short-term working capital needs are primarily related to financing certain of our crude oil and refined products inventory not covered by our various supply and Inventory Intermediation Agreements.

If we cannot adequately handle our crude oil and feedstock requirements or if we are required to obtain our crude oil supply at our other refineries without the benefit of the existing supply arrangements or the applicable counterparty defaults in its obligations, our crude oil pricing costs may increase as the number of days between when we pay for the crude oil and when the crude oil is delivered to us increases. Termination of our Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, which are currently scheduled to expire in 2021, would require us to finance the J. Aron Products covered by the agreements, which financing may not be available at terms that are as favorable or at all. We are obligated to repurchase from J. Aron all volumes of the J. Aron Products upon expiration or earlier termination of these agreements, which may have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, working capital and financial condition. Further, if we are not able to market and sell our finished products to credit worthy customers, we may be subject to delays in the collection of our accounts receivable and exposure to additional credit risk. Such increased exposure could negatively impact our liquidity due to our increased working capital needs as a result of the increase in the amount of crude oil inventory and accounts receivable we would have to carry on our balance sheet. Our long-term needs for cash include those to repay our indebtedness and other contractual obligations, support ongoing capital expenditures for equipment maintenance and upgrades, including during turnarounds at our refineries, and to complete our routine and normally scheduled maintenance, regulatory and security expenditures.

35

In addition, from time to time, we are required to spend significant amounts for repairs when one or more processing units experiences temporary shutdowns. We continue to utilize significant capital to upgrade equipment, improve facilities, and reduce operational, safety and environmental risks. In connection with the Paulsboro and Torrance acquisitions, we assumed certain significant environmental obligations, and may similarly do so in future acquisitions. We will likely incur substantial compliance costs in connection with new or changing environmental, health and safety regulations. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Our liquidity and financial condition will affect our ability to satisfy any and all of these needs or obligations.

We may not be able to obtain funding on acceptable terms or at all because of volatility and uncertainty in the credit and capital markets. This may hinder or prevent us from meeting our future capital needs.

    In the past, global financial markets and economic conditions have been, and may again be, subject to disruption and volatile due to a variety of factors, including uncertainty in the financial services sector, low consumer confidence, falling commodity prices, geopolitical issues and generally weak economic conditions. In addition, the fixed income markets have experienced periods of extreme volatility that have negatively impacted market liquidity conditions, including as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the cost of raising money in the debt and equity capital markets has increased substantially at times while the availability of funds from those markets diminished significantly. In particular, as a result of concerns about the stability of financial markets generally, which may be subject to unforeseen disruptions, the cost of obtaining money from the credit markets may increase as many lenders and institutional investors increase interest rates, enact tighter lending standards, refuse to refinance existing debt on similar terms or at all and reduce or, in some cases, cease to provide funding to borrowers. Due to these factors, we cannot be certain that new debt or equity financing will be available on acceptable terms. If funding is not available when needed, or is available only on unfavorable terms, we may be unable to meet our obligations as they come due.

Our results of operations continue to be impacted by significant costs to comply with renewable fuels mandates. The market prices for RINs have been volatile and may harm our profitability.

Pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, EPA has issued the Renewable Fuel Standard, implementing mandates to blend renewable fuels into the petroleum fuels produced and sold in the United States. Under the Renewable Fuel Standard, the volume of renewable fuels that obligated refineries must blend into their finished petroleum fuels increases annually over time until 2022. In addition, certain states have passed legislation that requires minimum biodiesel blending in finished distillates. On October 13, 2010, EPA raised the maximum amount of ethanol allowed under federal law from 10% to 15% for cars and light trucks manufactured since 2007. The maximum amount allowed under federal law currently remains at 10% ethanol for all other vehicles. Existing laws and regulations could change, and the minimum volumes of renewable fuels that must be blended with refined petroleum fuels may increase. Because we do not produce renewable fuels, increasing the volume of renewable fuels that must be blended into our products displaces an increasing volume of our refinery’s product pool, potentially resulting in lower earnings and profitability. In addition, in order to meet certain of these and future EPA requirements, we may be required to purchase RINs, which may have fluctuating costs based on market conditions. The price of RINS has increased in 2020 and could increase further in 2021. We incurred approximately $326.4 million in RINs costs during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $122.7 million and $143.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fluctuations in our RINs costs are due primarily to volatility in prices for ethanol-linked RINs and increases in our production of on-road transportation fuels since 2012. Our RINs purchase obligation is dependent on our actual shipment of on-road transportation fuels domestically and the amount of blending achieved which can cause variability in our profitability.

36

Competition from companies who have not been adversely impacted as much as we have been by the COVID-19 pandemic, produce their own supply of feedstocks, have extensive retail outlets, make alternative fuels or have greater financial and other resources than we do could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our refining operations compete with domestic refiners and marketers in regions of the United States in which we operate, as well as with domestic refiners in other regions and foreign refiners that import products into the United States. In addition, we compete with other refiners, producers and marketers in other industries that supply their own renewable fuels or alternative forms of energy and fuels to satisfy the requirements of our industrial, commercial and individual consumers. Many of our competitors have not been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as much as we have been impacted. Certain of our competitors have larger and more complex refineries, and may be able to realize lower per-barrel costs or higher margins per barrel of throughput. Several of our principal competitors are integrated national or international oil companies that are larger and have substantially greater resources than we do and access to proprietary sources of controlled crude oil production. Unlike these competitors, we obtain substantially all of our feedstocks from unaffiliated sources. We are not engaged in the petroleum exploration and production business and therefore do not produce any of our crude oil feedstocks. We do not have a retail business and therefore are dependent upon others for outlets for our refined products. Because of their integrated operations and larger capitalization, these companies may be more flexible in responding to volatile industry or market conditions, such as shortages of crude oil supply and other feedstocks or intense price fluctuations and they may also be able to obtain more favorable trade credit terms.

Newer or upgraded refineries will often be more efficient than our refineries, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage. We have taken significant measures to maintain our refineries including the installation of new equipment and redesigning older equipment to improve our operations. However, these actions involve significant uncertainties, since upgraded equipment may not perform at expected throughput levels, the yield and product quality of new equipment may differ from design specifications and modifications may be needed to correct equipment that does not perform as expected. Any of these risks associated with new equipment, redesigned older equipment or repaired equipment could lead to lower revenues or higher costs or otherwise have an adverse effect on future results of operations and financial condition. Over time, our refineries or certain refinery units may become obsolete, or be unable to compete, because of the construction of new, more efficient facilities by our competitors.

A portion of our workforce is unionized, and we may face labor disruptions that would interfere with our operations.

Most hourly employees at our refineries are covered by collective bargaining agreements through the USW, the IOW and the IBEW. These agreements are scheduled to expire on various dates in 2021 and 2022 (See “Item 1. Business” - Employees). Future negotiations prior to the expiration of our collective agreements may result in labor unrest for which a strike or work stoppage is possible. Strikes and/or work stoppages could negatively affect our operational and financial results and may increase operating expenses at the refineries.

37

Any political instability, military strikes, sustained military campaigns, terrorist activity, changes in foreign policy, or other catastrophic events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Any political instability, military strikes, sustained military campaigns, terrorist activity, changes in foreign policy in areas or regions of the world where we acquire crude oil and other raw materials or sell our refined petroleum products may affect our business in unpredictable ways, including forcing us to increase security measures and causing disruptions of supplies and distribution markets. We may also be subject to United States trade and economic sanctions laws, which change frequently as a result of foreign policy developments, and which may necessitate changes to our crude oil acquisition activities. Further, like other industrial companies, our facilities may be the target of terrorist activities or subject to catastrophic events such as natural disasters and pandemic illness. Any act of war, terrorism, or other catastrophic events that resulted in damage to, or otherwise disrupts the operating activities of, any of our refineries or third-party facilities upon which we are dependent for our business operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We must make substantial capital expenditures on our operating facilities to maintain their reliability and efficiency. If we are unable to complete capital projects at their expected costs and/or in a timely manner, or if the market conditions assumed in our project economics deteriorate, our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

Delays or cost increases related to capital spending programs involving engineering, procurement and construction of new facilities (or improvements and repairs to our existing facilities and equipment, including turnarounds) could adversely affect our ability to achieve targeted internal rates of return and operating results. Such delays or cost increases may arise as a result of unpredictable factors in the marketplace, many of which are beyond our control, including:

•denial or delay in obtaining regulatory approvals and/or permits;

•unplanned increases in the cost of construction materials or labor;

•disruptions in transportation of modular components and/or construction materials;

•severe adverse weather conditions, natural disasters or other events (such as equipment malfunctions, explosions, fires or spills) affecting our facilities, or those of vendors and suppliers;

•shortages of sufficiently skilled labor, or labor disagreements resulting in unplanned work stoppages;

•market-related increases in a project’s debt or equity financing costs; and/or

•non-performance or force majeure by, or disputes with, vendors, suppliers, contractors or sub-contractors involved with a project.

Our refineries contain many processing units, a number of which have been in operation for many years. Equipment, even if properly maintained, may require significant capital expenditures and expenses to keep it operating at optimum efficiency. One or more of the units may require unscheduled downtime for unanticipated maintenance or repairs that are more frequent than our scheduled turnarounds for such units. Scheduled and unscheduled maintenance could reduce our revenues during the period of time that the units are not operating.

Our forecasted internal rates of return are also based upon our projections of future market fundamentals, which are not within our control, including changes in general economic conditions, impact of new regulations, available alternative supply and customer demand. Any one or more of these factors could have a significant impact on our business. If we were unable to make up the delays associated with such factors or to recover the related costs, or if market conditions change, it could materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

38

Our business may suffer if any of our senior executives or other key employees discontinues employment with us. Furthermore, a shortage of skilled labor or disruptions in our labor force may make it difficult for us to maintain labor productivity.

Our future success depends to a large extent on the services of our senior executives and other key employees. Our business depends on our continuing ability to recruit, train and retain highly qualified employees in all areas of our operations, including engineering, accounting, business operations, finance and other key back-office and mid-office personnel. Furthermore, our operations require skilled and experienced employees with proficiency in multiple tasks. The competition for these employees is intense, and the loss of these executives or employees could harm our business. If any of these executives or other key personnel resigns or becomes unable to continue in his or her present role and is not adequately replaced, our business operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our commodity derivative activities could result in period-to-period earnings volatility.

We do not currently apply hedge accounting to any of our commodity derivative contracts and, as a result, unrealized gains and losses will be charged to our earnings based on the increase or decrease in the market value of such unsettled positions. These gains and losses may be reflected in our income statement in periods that differ from when the settlement of the underlying hedged items are reflected in our income statement. Such derivative gains or losses in earnings may produce significant period-to-period earnings volatility that is not necessarily reflective of our underlying operational performance.

We may incur significant liability under, or costs and capital expenditures to comply with, environmental and health and safety regulations, which are complex and change frequently.

Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws regulating, among other things, the use and/or handling of petroleum and other regulated materials, the emission and discharge of materials into the environment, waste management, and remediation of discharges of petroleum and petroleum products, characteristics and composition of gasoline and distillates and other matters otherwise relating to the protection of the environment and the health and safety of the surrounding community. Our operations are also subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to occupational health and safety.

We cannot predict what additional environmental, health and safety legislation or regulations may be adopted in the future, or how existing or future laws or regulations may be administered or interpreted with respect to our operations. Many of these laws and regulations have become increasingly stringent over time, and the cost of compliance with these requirements can be expected to increase over time.

Certain environmental laws impose strict, and in certain circumstances, joint and several, liability for costs of investigation and cleanup of spills, discharges or releases on owners and operators of, as well as persons who arrange for treatment or disposal of regulated materials at, contaminated sites. Under these laws, we may incur liability or be required to pay penalties for past contamination, and third parties may assert claims against us for damages allegedly arising out of any past or future contamination. The potential penalties and clean-up costs for past or future spills, discharges or releases, the failure of prior owners of our facilities to complete their clean-up obligations, the liability to third parties for damage to their property, or the need to address newly-discovered information or conditions that may require a response could be significant, and the payment of these amounts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

39

Environmental clean-up and remediation costs of our sites and environmental litigation could decrease our net cash flow, reduce our results of operations and impair our financial condition.

We are subject to liability for the investigation and clean-up of environmental contamination at each of the properties that we own or operate and at off-site locations where we arrange for the treatment or disposal of regulated materials. We may become involved in litigation or other proceedings related to the foregoing. If we were to be held responsible for damages in any such litigation or proceedings, such costs may not be covered by insurance and may be material. Historical soil and groundwater contamination has been identified at our refineries. Currently, remediation projects for such contamination are underway in accordance with regulatory requirements at our refineries. In connection with the acquisitions of certain of our refineries and logistics assets, the prior owners have retained certain liabilities or indemnified us for certain liabilities, including those relating to pre-acquisition soil and groundwater conditions, and in some instances we have assumed certain liabilities and environmental obligations, including certain existing and potential remediation obligations. If the prior owners fail to satisfy their obligations for any reason, or if significant liabilities arise in the areas in which we assumed liability, we may become responsible for remediation expenses and other environmental liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. As a result, in addition to making capital expenditures or incurring other costs to comply with environmental laws, we also may be liable for significant environmental litigation or for investigation and remediation costs and other liabilities arising from the ownership or operation of these assets by prior owners, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. See “Item 1. Business—Environmental, Health and Safety Matters” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual Obligations and Commitments”.

We may also face liability arising from current or future claims alleging personal injury or property damage due to exposure to chemicals or other regulated materials, such as various perfluorinated compounds, including perfluorooctanoate, perfluorooctane sulfonate, perfluorohexane sulfonate, or other per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, asbestos, benzene, silica dust and petroleum hydrocarbons, at or from our facilities. We may also face liability for personal injury, property damage, natural resource damage or clean-up costs for the alleged migration of contamination from our properties. A significant increase in the number or success of these claims could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Product liability and operational liability claims and litigation could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Product liability and liability arising from our operations are significant risks. Substantial damage awards have been made in certain jurisdictions against manufacturers and resellers of petroleum products based upon claims for injuries and property damage caused by the use of or exposure to various products. Failure of our products to meet required specifications or claims that a product is inherently defective could result in product liability claims from our shippers and customers, and also arise from contaminated or off-specification product in commingled pipelines and storage tanks and/or defective fuels. We may also be subject to personal injury claims arising from incidents that occur in connection with or relating to our operations. Product liability and personal injury claims against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Potential further laws and regulations related to climate change could have a material adverse impact on our operations and adversely affect our facilities.

Some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the Earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, floods and other climatic events. We believe the issue of climate change will likely continue to receive scientific and political attention, with the potential for further laws and regulations that could materially adversely affect our ongoing operations.

40

In addition, as many of our facilities are located near coastal areas, rising sea levels may disrupt our ability to operate those facilities or transport crude oil and refined petroleum products. Extended periods of such disruption could have an adverse effect on our results of operation. We could also incur substantial costs to protect or repair these facilities.

Our pipelines are subject to federal and/or state regulations, which could reduce profitability and the amount of cash we generate.

Our transportation activities are subject to regulation by multiple governmental agencies. The regulatory burden on the industry increases the cost of doing business and affects profitability. Additional proposals and proceedings that affect the oil industry are regularly considered by Congress, the states, the FERC, the United States Department of Transportation, and the courts. We cannot predict when or whether any such proposals may become effective or what impact such proposals may have. Projected operating costs related to our pipelines reflect the recurring costs resulting from compliance with these regulations, and these costs may increase due to future acquisitions, changes in regulation, changes in use, or discovery of existing but unknown compliance issues.

We are subject to strict laws and regulations regarding employee and process safety, and failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and profitability.

We are subject to the requirements of the OSHA, and comparable state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and safety of workers. In addition, OSHA requires that we maintain information about hazardous materials used or produced in our operations and that we provide this information to employees, state and local governmental authorities, and local residents. Failure to comply with OSHA requirements, including general industry standards, process safety standards and control of occupational exposure to regulated substances, could result in claims against us that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and the cash flows of the business if we are subjected to significant fines or compliance costs.

Compliance with and changes in tax laws could adversely affect our performance.

We are subject to extensive tax liabilities, including federal, state, local and foreign taxes such as income, excise, sales/use, payroll, franchise, property, gross receipts, withholding and ad valorem taxes. New tax laws and regulations and changes in existing tax laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed that could result in increased expenditures for tax liabilities in the future. These liabilities are subject to periodic audits by the respective taxing authorities, which could increase our tax liabilities. Subsequent changes to our tax liabilities as a result of these audits may also subject us to interest and penalties. There can be no certainty that our federal, state, local or foreign taxes could be passed on to our customers.

Changes in our credit profile could adversely affect our business.

Changes in our credit profile could affect the way crude oil and other suppliers view our ability to make payments and induce them to shorten the payment terms for our purchases or require us to post security or letters of credit prior to payment. Due to the large dollar amounts and volume of our crude oil and other feedstock purchases, any imposition by these suppliers of more burdensome payment terms on us may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and our ability to make payments to our suppliers. This, in turn, could cause us to be unable to operate one or more of our refineries at full capacity.

41

We could incur substantial costs or disruptions in our business if we cannot obtain or maintain necessary permits and authorizations or otherwise comply with health, safety, environmental and other laws and regulations.

Our operations require numerous permits and authorizations under various laws and regulations. These authorizations and permits are subject to revocation, renewal or modification and can require operational changes to limit impacts or potential impacts on the environment and/or health and safety. A violation of authorization or permit conditions or other legal or regulatory requirements could result in substantial fines, criminal sanctions, permit revocations, injunctions, and/or facility shutdowns. In addition, major modifications of our operations could require modifications to our existing permits or upgrades to our existing pollution control equipment. Any or all of these matters could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows.

We may incur significant liabilities under, or costs and capital expenditures to comply with, health, safety, environmental and other laws and regulations, which are complex and change frequently. Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws regulating, among other things, the handling of petroleum and other regulated materials, the emission and discharge of materials into the environment, waste management, and remediation of discharges of petroleum and petroleum products, characteristics and composition of gasoline and distillates and other matters otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. Our operations are also subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to occupational health and safety, in addition to laws and regulations affecting the transportation of crude oil by rail in North America.

We cannot predict what additional environmental, health and safety legislation or regulations may be adopted in the future, or how existing or future laws or regulations may be administered or interpreted with respect to our operations. Many of these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, and the cost of compliance with these requirements can be expected to increase over time.

Certain environmental laws impose strict, and in certain circumstances joint and several liability for, costs of investigation and cleanup of such spills, discharges or releases on owners and operators of, as well as persons who arrange for treatment or disposal of regulated materials at contaminated sites. Under these laws, we may incur liability or be required to pay penalties for past contamination, and third parties may assert claims against us for damages allegedly arising out of any past or future contamination. The potential penalties and clean-up costs for past or future releases or spills, the failure of prior owners of our facilities to complete their clean-up obligations, the liability to third parties for damage to their property, or the need to address newly-discovered information or conditions that may require a response could be significant, and the payment of these amounts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our indebtedness.

Our indebtedness may significantly affect our financial flexibility in the future. As of December 31, 2020, we have total debt of $3,985.5 million, excluding unamortized deferred debt issuance costs of $45.3 million, and we could incur additional borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. As disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on May 13, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes”), and on December 21, 2020, we issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes” and together with the initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes, the 2025 Senior Secured Notes), and on January 24, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion of the 2028 Senior Notes, the proceeds of which were used primarily to fully redeem the 7.00% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”) and to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Martinez Acquisition. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we used advances under our Revolving Credit Facility to fund a portion of the Martinez Acquisition and for other general corporate purposes. The amounts set forth above do not include any post-closing payments in connection with the Martinez Acquisition to the seller if certain conditions are met, including earn-out payments based on certain earnings thresholds of the Martinez refinery (as set forth in the sale and purchase agreement,

42

for a period of up to four years following the closing date). 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 year ended December 31, 2020 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 make new investments or incur new liens.

The level of our indebtedness has several important consequences for our future operations, including that:

•a portion of our cash flow from operations will be dedicated to the payment of principal of, and interest on, our indebtedness and will not be available for other purposes;

•under certain circumstances, covenants contained in our existing debt arrangements limit our ability to borrow additional funds, dispose of assets and make certain investments;

•in certain circumstances these covenants also require us to meet or maintain certain financial tests, which may affect our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in our industry, such as being able to take advantage of acquisition opportunities when they arise;

•our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate and other purposes may be limited; and

•we may be at a competitive disadvantage to those of our competitors that are less leveraged; and we may be more vulnerable to adverse economic and industry conditions.

Our indebtedness increases the risk that we may default on our debt obligations, certain of which contain cross-default and/or cross-acceleration provisions. Our, and our subsidiaries’, ability to meet future principal obligations will be dependent upon our future performance, which in turn will be subject to general economic conditions, industry cycles and financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control. Our business may not continue to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to repay our indebtedness. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, we may be required to sell assets, to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness or to obtain additional financing. Refinancing may not be possible and additional financing may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, or at all.

Despite our substantial level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantially more debt, which could exacerbate the risks described above.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future including additional secured or unsecured debt. Although our debt instruments and financing arrangements contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and the indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. To the extent new debt is added to our current debt levels, the leverage risks described above would increase. Also, these restrictions do not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness.

Our future credit ratings could adversely affect the cost of our borrowing as well as our ability to obtain credit in the future.

On January 24, 2020, we issued the 2028 Senior Notes. The proceeds from this offering were used in part to subsequently redeem our outstanding 2023 Senior Notes. In response to the impact of COVID-19 on our financial condition and business, to strengthen our liquidity, on May 13, 2020, we issued the initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes and then, on December 21, 2020, we issued the additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes in a tack-on offering. The 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes are rated B3 by Moody’s, B+ by S&P, and B+ by Fitch. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes are rated Ba3 by Moody’s, BB by S&P, and BB by Fitch. During the fourth quarter of 2020, each of our credit rating agencies downgraded our corporate family rating as well as our unsecured and secured notes ratings, with all ratings on negative outlook. As a result of the downgrades, the

43

cost of borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility increased in accordance with the agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). If the current market conditions persist or deteriorate, we expect that the credit rating agencies will continue to re-evaluate our corporate credit rating and the ratings of our unsecured and secured notes. Adverse changes in our credit ratings may also negatively impact the terms of credit we receive from our suppliers and require us to prepay or post collateral. Further adverse actions taken by the rating agencies on our corporate credit rating or the rating of our notes may further increase our cost of borrowings or hinder our ability to raise financing in the capital markets or have an unfavorable impact on the credit terms we have with our suppliers, which could impair our ability to grow our business, increase our liquidity and make cash distributions to our members.

Provisions in our indentures and other agreements could discourage an acquisition of us by a third-party.

Certain provisions of our indentures could make it more difficult or more expensive for a third-party to acquire us. Upon the occurrence of certain transactions constituting a “change of control” as described in the indentures governing the 2025 Senior Notes, the 2025 Senior Secured Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes, holders of our notes could require us to repurchase all outstanding notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, at the date of repurchase. Certain other significant agreements of ours such as our Revolving Credit Agreement and Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron also contain provisions related to a change in control that could make it more difficult or expensive for a third-party to acquire us.

Restrictive covenants in our debt instruments, including the indentures governing our notes, may limit our ability to undertake certain types of transactions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to service our indebtedness.

Various covenants in our current and future debt instruments and other financing arrangements, including the indentures governing our notes, may restrict our and our subsidiaries’ financial flexibility in a number of ways. Our current indebtedness and the indentures that govern our notes subject us to significant financial and other restrictive covenants, including restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, place liens upon assets, or make certain other restricted payments and investments, consummate certain asset sales or asset swaps, conduct businesses other than our current businesses, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. Some of our debt instruments also require our subsidiaries to satisfy or maintain certain financial condition tests in certain circumstances. Our ability to meet these financial condition tests can be affected by events beyond our control and we may not meet such tests. In addition, a failure to comply with the provisions of our existing debt could result in an event of default that could enable our lenders, subject to the terms and conditions of such debt, to declare the outstanding principal, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. Events beyond our control, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental responses and developments in the global oil markets, may affect our ability to comply with our covenants. If we were unable to repay the accelerated amounts, our lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure such debt. If the payment of our debt is accelerated, defaults under our other debt instruments, if any, may be triggered, and our assets may be insufficient to repay such debt in full.

If we incur indebtedness provided or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, including pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, we may become subject to additional restrictions on our operations, including limitations on employee headcount and compensation reductions and other cost reduction activities that could adversely affect us.

44

The discontinuation of LIBOR, and the adoption of an alternative reference rate, may have a material adverse impact on our floating rate indebtedness and financing costs.

We are subject to interest rate risk on floating interest rate borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and our $35.0 million term loan (the “PBF Rail Term Loan”). These borrowings have the optionality to use LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the interest rate. On November 30, 2020, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”) announced that it intends to continue publishing LIBOR until the end of June 2023, beyond the previously announced 2021 cessation date. The IBA announcement was supported by announcements from the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “U.S. Regulators”). However, both the FCA and U.S. Regulators in their announcements also advised banks to cease entering into new contracts referencing LIBOR after December 2021. These announcements indicate that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis may not be assured after 2021 and will not be assured beyond 2023. In light of these recent announcements, the future of LIBOR at this time is uncertain and any changes in the methods by which LIBOR is determined, or regulatory activity related to LIBOR’s phaseout, could cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past or cease to exist.

In the United States, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the working group formed to recommend an alternative rate to LIBOR) has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. There can be no guarantee that SOFR will become a widely accepted benchmark in place of LIBOR or what its adoption as a replacement rate would have on us. Although the full impact of the transition away from LIBOR, including the discontinuance of LIBOR publication and the adoption of SOFR as the replacement rate for LIBOR, remains unclear, these changes may have an adverse impact on our floating rate indebtedness and financing costs.

Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure

Under a tax receivable agreement, PBF Energy is required to pay the pre-IPO owners of PBF LLC for certain realized or assumed tax benefits it may claim arising in connection with its initial public offering and future exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of its Class A common stock and related transactions (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”). The indentures governing the senior notes allow us, under certain circumstances, to make distributions sufficient for PBF Energy to pay its obligations arising from the Tax Receivable Agreement.

PBF Energy entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement that provides for the payment from time to time (“On-Going Payments”) by PBF Energy to the holders of PBF LLC Series A Units and PBF LLC Series B Units for certain tax benefits it may claim arising in connection with its prior offerings and future exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of its Class A common stock and related transactions, and the amounts it may pay could be significant.

PBF Energy’s payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are PBF Energy’s obligations and not obligations of PBF Holding, PBF Finance, or any of PBF Holding’s other subsidiaries. However, because PBF Energy is primarily a holding company with limited operations of its own, its ability to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement is dependent on our ability to make future distributions to it. The indentures governing the senior notes allow us to make tax distributions (as defined in the applicable indentures), and it is expected that PBF Energy’s share of these tax distributions will be in amounts sufficient to allow PBF Energy to make On-Going Payments. The indentures governing the senior notes also allow us to make a distribution sufficient to allow PBF Energy to make any payments required under the Tax Receivable Agreement upon a change in control, so long as we offer to purchase all of the senior notes outstanding at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any. If PBF Energy’s share of the distributions it receives under these specific provisions of the indentures is insufficient to satisfy its obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, PBF Energy may cause us to make distributions in accordance with other provisions of the indentures in order to satisfy such obligations.

45

Our existing indebtedness may limit our ability to make distributions to PBF LLC, and in turn for PBF Energy to pay these obligations. These provisions may deter a potential sale of us to a third-party and may otherwise make it less likely a third-party would enter into a change of control transaction with PBF Energy or us.

PBF Energy’s liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement was reduced to zero as of December 31, 2020. As PBF Energy records future taxable income, increases in its Tax Receivable Agreement liability may be necessary. It is possible that future transactions or events could increase or decrease the actual tax benefits realized and the corresponding payments. Moreover, future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that PBF Energy determines in accordance with the Tax Receivable Agreement. Neither PBF Energy nor any of its subsidiaries will be reimbursed for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement if the Internal Revenue Service subsequently disallows part or all of the tax benefits that gave rise to such prior payments.

Risks Related to Our Affiliation with PBFX

We depend upon PBFX for a substantial portion of our refineries’ logistics needs and have obligations for minimum volume commitments in our commercial agreements with PBFX.

We depend on PBFX to receive, handle, store and transfer crude oil, petroleum products and natural gas for us from our operations and sources located throughout the United States and Canada in support of certain of our refineries under long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with us. These commercial agreements have an initial term ranging from one to fifteen years and generally include minimum quarterly commitments and inflation escalators. If we fail to meet the minimum commitments during any calendar quarter, we will be required to make a shortfall payment quarterly to PBFX equal to the volume of the shortfall multiplied by the applicable fee.

PBFX’s operations are subject to all of the risks and operational hazards inherent in receiving, handling, storing and transferring crude oil, petroleum products and natural gas, including: damages to its facilities, related equipment and surrounding properties caused by floods, fires, severe weather, explosions and other natural disasters and acts of terrorism; mechanical or structural failures at PBFX’s facilities or at third-party facilities on which its operations are dependent; curtailments of operations relative to severe seasonal weather; inadvertent damage to our facilities from construction, farm and utility equipment; and other hazards. Any of these events or factors could result in severe damage or destruction to PBFX’s assets or the temporary or permanent shut-down of PBFX’s facilities. If PBFX is unable to serve our logistics needs, our ability to operate our refineries and receive crude oil and distribute products could be adversely impacted, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

All of the executive officers and a majority of the directors of PBF GP are also current or former officers or directors of PBF Energy. Conflicts of interest could arise as a result of this arrangement.

PBF Energy indirectly owns and controls PBF GP, and appoints all of its officers and directors. All of the executive officers and a majority of the directors of PBF GP are also current or former officers or directors of PBF Energy. These individuals will devote significant time to the business of PBFX. Although the directors and officers of PBF GP have a fiduciary duty to manage PBF GP in a manner that is beneficial to PBF Energy, as directors and officers of PBF GP they also have certain duties to PBFX and its unitholders. Conflicts of interest may arise between PBF Energy and its affiliates, including PBF GP, on the one hand, and PBFX and its unitholders, on the other hand. In resolving these conflicts of interest, PBF GP may favor its own interests and the interests of PBFX over the interests of PBF Energy and its subsidiaries. In certain circumstances, PBF GP may refer any conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest between PBFX, on the one hand, and PBF Energy, on the other hand, to its conflicts committee (which must consist entirely of independent directors) for resolution, which conflicts committee must act in the best interests of the public unitholders of PBFX. As a result, PBF GP may manage the business of PBFX in a way that may differ from the best interests of PBF Energy or its stockholders.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On December 28, 2016, DNREC issued the Ethanol Permit to DCR allowing the utilization of existing tanks and existing marine loading equipment at their existing facilities to enable denatured ethanol to be loaded from storage tanks to marine vessels and shipped to offsite facilities. On January 13, 2017, the issuance of the Ethanol Permit was appealed by two environmental groups. On February 27, 2017, the Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board (the “Coastal Zone Board”) held a public hearing and dismissed the appeal, determining that the appellants did not have standing. The appellants filed an appeal of the Coastal Zone Board’s decision with the Delaware Superior Court (the “Superior Court”) on March 30, 2017. On January 19, 2018, the Superior Court rendered an Opinion regarding the decision of the Coastal Zone Board to dismiss the appeal of the Ethanol Permit for the ethanol project. The judge determined that the record created by the Coastal Zone Board was insufficient for the Superior Court to make a decision, and therefore remanded the case back to the Coastal Zone Board to address the deficiency in the record. Specifically, the Superior Court directed the Coastal Zone Board to address any evidence concerning whether the appellants’ claimed injuries would be affected by the increased quantity of ethanol shipments. On remand, the Coastal Zone Board met on January 28, 2019 and reversed its previous decision on standing ruling that the appellants have standing to appeal the issuance of the Ethanol Permit. The parties to the action filed a joint motion with the Coastal Zone Board, requesting that the Board concur with the parties’ proposal to secure from the Superior Court confirmation that all rights and claims are preserved for any subsequent appeal to the Superior Court, and that the matter then be scheduled for a hearing on the merits before the Coastal Zone Board. The Coastal Zone Board notified the parties in January of 2020 that it concurred with the parties’ proposed course of action. The appellants and DCR subsequently filed a motion with the Superior Court requesting relief consistent with what was described to the Coastal Zone Board. In March of 2020, the Superior Court issued a letter relinquishing jurisdiction over the matter, and concurring with the parties’ proposal to allow the case to proceed to a hearing on the merits before the Coastal Zone Board. The parties must now jointly propose to the Coastal Zone Board a schedule for prehearing activity and a merits hearing to resolve the matter. The parties must, therefore, submit to the Coastal Zone Board a joint proposed schedule to govern future proceedings related to the merits hearing to resolve the matter.

On September 11, 2020, DCR received two Citations and Notification of Penalties, with sub-parts, from 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 parties now have until March 26, 2021 to notify the court as to the outcome of such discussions. If the settlement negotiations are unsuccessful, the matter will proceed to litigation.

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. Furthermore, in connection with the acquisition, we assumed responsibility for certain specified environmental matters that occurred prior to our ownership of the refinery and logistics assets, including specified incidents and/or Notices of Violations (“NOVs”) issued by regulatory agencies in various years before our ownership, including the South Coast Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) and the Division of Occupational Safety and Health of the State of California (“Cal/OSHA”).

Subsequent to the acquisition, further NOVs were issued by the SCAQMD, Cal/OSHA, the City of Torrance, the City of Torrance Fire Department, and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District related to alleged operational violations, emission discharges and/or flaring incidents at the refinery and the logistics assets both before and after our acquisition. EPA in November 2016 conducted a Risk Management Plan (“RMP”) inspection following the acquisition related to Torrance operations and issued preliminary findings in March 2017 concerning RMP potential operational violations. Since EPA’s issuance of the preliminary findings in March 2017, we have been in substantive discussions to resolve the preliminary findings. Effective January 9, 2020, we and EPA entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order (“CAFO”), effective as of January 9, 2020, which contains no admission by us for any alleged violations in the CAFO, includes a release from all alleged violations in the CAFO, requires payment of a penalty of $125,000 and the implementation of a supplemental environmental project (“SEP”) of at least $219,000 that must be completed by December 15, 2021. The SEP will consist of configuring the northeast fire water monitor to automatically deploy water upon detection of a release.

EPA and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”) in December 2016 conducted a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) inspection following the acquisition related to Torrance operations and also issued in March 2017 preliminary findings concerning RCRA potential operational violations. On June 14, 2018, the Torrance refinery and DTSC reached settlement regarding the oil bearing materials. Following this settlement, in June 2018, DTSC referred the remaining alleged RCRA violations from EPA’s and DTSC’s December 2016 inspection to the California Attorney General for final resolution. The Torrance refinery and the California Attorney General are in discussions to resolve these alleged remaining RCRA violations.

On May 8, 2020, we received a letter from the SCAQMD proposing to settle a NOV relating to Title V deviations alleged to have occurred in the first half of 2017 for $878,450. We have offered to settle the NOV for approximately $430,000 and are awaiting a response from the SCAQMD.

On February 4, 2021, we received a letter from the SCAQMD proposing to settle a NOV relating to Title V deviations alleged to have occurred in the second half of 2017 for $1.3 million. We are evaluating the allegations and will be communicating with the SCAQMD regarding the allegations and the settlement offer upon the completion of our review.

On November 30, 2020, the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (“RWQCB”) issued a draft Stipulated Order to the Martinez refinery in connection with alleged total suspended solids exceedances that occurred in March 2020, which draft order included a proposed penalty of $310,000. Subsequently, the RWQCB proposed to settle these alleged exceedances for $126,000. We are reviewing and will be communicating with the RWQCB regarding the allegations and the revised settlement offer upon the completion of our review.

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 December 5, 1990, prior to our ownership of the Chalmette refinery, the plaintiff in Adam Thomas, et al. v. Exxon Mobil Corporation and Chalmette Refining, filed an action on behalf of himself and potentially thousands of other individuals in St. Bernard Parish and Orleans Parish who were allegedly exposed to hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide as a result of more than 100 separate flaring events that occurred between 1989 and 2010. The plaintiffs claimed to have suffered physical injuries, property damage, and other damages as a result of the releases. Plaintiffs seek to recover unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, interest, and costs. On June 18, 2020, plaintiffs and defendants entered into a settlement agreement and release, the terms and conditions of which are confidential. On that same date, the court entered a final judgment that dismissed with prejudice all claims asserted against defendants in this matter. The outcome did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On February 17, 2017, in Arnold Goldstein, et al. v. Exxon Mobil Corporation, et al., we and PBF Energy, and our subsidiaries, PBF Western Region and Torrance Refining 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, ultrahazardous 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 March 18, 2019, the class certification hearing was held and the court took the matter under submission. On April 1, 2019, the court issued an order denying class certification. On April 15, 2019, plaintiffs filed a Petition for Permission to Appeal the Order Denying Motion for Class Certification. On May 3, 2019, plaintiffs filed a Motion with the Central District Court for Leave to File a Renewed Motion for Class Certification. On May 22, 2019, the judge granted plaintiffs’ motion. We filed our opposition to the motion on July 29, 2019. The plaintiffs’ motion was heard on September 23, 2019. 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 February 9, 2021, the court issued an order taking both motions under submission pending additional discovery and briefing related to plaintiff Youssef and whether a new class representative should be substituted. The Court has also ordered that the rebuttal expert disclosure deadline, the expert discovery cut-off, the motion hearing cut-off, and all other case deadlines be stayed pending the court’s decision as to whether the case can proceed with a new class representative and whether defendants will be permitted to conduct additional soil vapor sampling in the ground subclass area. Trial was previously scheduled to commence on July 27, 2021. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On September 18, 2018, in Michelle Kendig and Jim Kendig, et al. v. ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, et al., PBF Energy Limited and Torrance Refining along with ExxonMobil Oil Corporation and ExxonMobil Pipeline Company were named as defendants in a class action and representative action complaint filed on behalf of Michelle Kendig, Jim Kendig and others similarly situated. The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles and alleged failure to authorize and permit uninterrupted rest and meal periods, failure to furnish accurate wage statements, violation of the Private Attorneys General Act and violation of the California Unfair Business and Competition Law. Plaintiffs sought unspecified economic damages, statutory damages, civil penalties provided by statute, disgorgement of profits, injunctive relief, declaratory relief, interest, attorney’s fees and costs. To the extent that plaintiffs’ claims accrued prior to July 1, 2016, ExxonMobil has retained responsibility for any liabilities that would arise from the lawsuit pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and logistics assets. On October 26, 2018, the matter was removed to the Federal Court, California Central District. A mediation hearing between the parties was held on August 23, 2019, and the parties reached a tentative agreement in principle to settle. On March 17, 2019, plaintiffs filed with the court a Notice of Motion and Motion for Preliminary Approval of Settlement Agreement for the Court’s approval of the proposed settlement pursuant to which Torrance Refining would pay $2.9 million to resolve the matter and receive a full release and discharge from any and all claims and make no admission of any wrongdoing or liability. On May 1, 2020 the court entered an order preliminarily approving the proposed settlement. On August 6, 2020, the settlement of $2.9 million was paid to the class claims administrator. On August 17, 2020 the court granted approval of the final settlement.

On September 7, 2018, in Jeprece Roussell, et al. v. PBF Consultants, LLC, et al., the plaintiff filed an action in the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, alleging numerous causes of action, including wrongful death, premises liability, negligence, and gross negligence against PBF Holding, PBFX Op Co, Chalmette Refining, two individual employees of the Chalmette refinery (the “PBF Defendants”), two entities, PBF Consultants, LLC (“PBF Consultants”) and PBF Investments that are Louisiana companies that are not associated with our companies, as well as Clean Harbors, Inc. and Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc. (collectively, “Clean Harbors”), Mr. Roussell’s employer. Mr. Roussell was fatally injured on March 31, 2018 while employed by Clean Harbors and performing clay removal work activities inside a clay treating vessel located at the Chalmette refinery. Plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages for pain and suffering, past and future mental anguish, impairment, past and future economic loss, attorney’s fees and court costs. On September 25, 2018, the PBF Defendants filed an answer in the state court action denying the allegations. On October 10, 2018, the PBF Defendants filed to remove the case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana. On November 9, 2018, plaintiff filed a motion to remand the matter back to state court and the PBF Defendants filed a response on November 30, 2018. On April 15, 2019, the Federal Magistrate Judge filed a Report and Recommendation denying Plaintiff’s motion to remand and dismissing without prejudice the claims against John Sprafka, Wayne LaCombe, PBF Consultants and PBF Investments. On June 24, 2019, the Federal Judge adopted the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation denying plaintiff’s motion to remand and dismissing without prejudice the claims against John Sprafka, Wayne LaCombe, PBF Consultants and PBF Investments. On September 18, 2020, the Federal Magistrate Judge granted plaintiff’s motion to amend in order to add a non-diverse plaintiff and remand to state court. PBF Defendants filed an opposition to plaintiff’s motion to amend on October 2, 2020. On October 5, 2020, the Magistrate Judge granted plaintiff’s motion to amend and remanded the case back to state court. Discovery will continue in state court. We cannot currently estimate the amount or the timing of the resolution of this matter. The PBF Defendants previously issued a tender of defense and indemnity to Clean Harbors and its insurer pursuant to indemnity obligations contained in the associated services agreement. Clean Harbors has accepted the tender of defense and indemnity, and Clean Harbors’ insurer has accepted the tender of defense and indemnity subject to a reservation of rights. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In Varga, Sabrina, et al., v. CRU Railcar Services, LLC, et al., we and other of our entities were named as defendants along with CRU Railcar Services, LLC (“CRU”) in a lawsuit arising from a railcar explosion that occurred while CRU employees were cleaning a railcar owned by us. The initial lawsuit alleged that an employee of CRU was fatally injured as a result of the explosion. On July 5, 2019, a petition for intervention was filed alleging that another CRU employee was fatally injured in the same explosion. On October 7, 2019, a third CRU employee joined the lawsuit alleging severe injuries from the incident. We have issued a tender of defense and indemnity to CRU and its insurer pursuant to indemnity obligations contained in the associated services agreement which have not been accepted at this time. Discovery is currently ongoing and the trial date is currently set for April 12, 2021. We cannot currently estimate the amount or the timing of the resolution of this matter. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We are subject to obligations to purchase RINs. On February 15, 2017, we received notification that EPA records indicated that PBF Holding used potentially invalid RINs that were in fact verified under EPA’s RIN Quality Assurance Program (“QAP”) by an independent auditor as QAP A RINs. Under the regulations use of potentially invalid QAP A RINs provided the user with an affirmative defense from civil penalties provided certain conditions are met. We have asserted the affirmative defense and if accepted by EPA will not be required to replace these RINs and will not be subject to civil penalties under the program. It is reasonably possible that EPA will not accept our defense and may assess penalties in these matters but any such amount is not expected to 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.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

We are a privately-owned company with no established public trading market for our membership units.

Holders

At December 31, 2020, 100% of our outstanding membership interests were held by PBF LLC. PBF Finance had 100 shares of common stock outstanding, all of which were held by us. None of the membership interests are publicly-traded, and none were issued or sold in 2020.

Dividend and Distribution Policy

In cases when there is sufficient cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity, we are permitted under our debt agreements to make distributions; however, our ability to make distributions to PBF LLC is, and in the future may be, limited by covenants in our Revolving Credit Facility, the 2025 Senior Secured Notes, the 2028 Senior Notes, the 2025 Senior Notes and other debt instruments. Subject to certain exceptions, the Revolving Credit Facility and the indentures governing the senior notes and the senior secured notes prohibit us from making distributions to PBF LLC if certain defaults exist. Our ability to continue to comply with our debt covenants is, to a significant degree, subject to our operating results, which are dependent on a number of factors outside of our control.

We are a holding company and all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. We have no independent means of generating revenue other than through assets owned by our subsidiaries. In order for us to make any distributions, we will need to cause our subsidiaries to make distributions to us. We and our subsidiaries are generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a member to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of the limited liability company (with certain exceptions) exceed the fair value of its assets. As a result, we may be unable to obtain cash from our subsidiaries to satisfy our obligations and make distributions to PBF LLC, when necessary.

We make, from time to time, cash distributions in amounts sufficient for PBF LLC to make tax distributions to its members and may make additional distributions to the extent necessary for PBF Energy to declare and pay a quarterly cash dividend of approximately $0.30 per share on its Class A common stock. The declaration, amount and payment of this and any other future distributions by us will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors and the board of directors of PBF Energy, which is the sole managing member of our sole member (PBF LLC), and we are not obligated under any applicable laws, governing documents or any contractual agreements with PBF LLC’s 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). In response to the adverse impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, PBF Energy, among other things, suspended its quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share, anticipated to preserve approximately $35.0 million of cash each quarter, to support its balance sheet. While it is impossible to estimate the duration or ultimate financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we will continue to monitor and evaluate our distribution policy as market conditions develop and our business outlook becomes clearer. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors”.

We paid $23.1 million in distributions to PBF LLC during the year ended December 31, 2020. PBF LLC used $19.5 million of this amount to fund a portion of one non-tax distributions of $0.30 per unit to its members totaling $36.3 million, of which $35.9 million was distributed to PBF Energy and the balance was distributed to PBF LLC’s other members. PBF Energy used this $35.9 million to pay one equivalent cash dividends of $0.30 per share of its Class A common stock on March 17, 2020.

Executive Summary

We were formed in March 2008 to pursue the acquisitions of crude oil refineries and downstream assets in North America. We own and operate six domestic oil refineries and related assets located in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Martinez, California. Based on current configuration (subsequent to the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration), our refineries have a combined throughput of approximately 1,000,000 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. Our six oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and are aggregated into one reportable segment.

Factors Affecting Comparability

Our results over the past three years 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.

COVID-19 and Market Developments

The impact of the unprecedented global health and economic crisis sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic was amplified late in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 due to movements made by the world’s largest oil producers to increase market share. This created simultaneous shocks in oil supply and demand resulting in an economic challenge to our industry which has not occurred since our formation. This combination has resulted in significant demand reduction for our refined products and atypical volatility in oil commodity prices, which are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2020 were impacted by the sustained decreased demand for refined products and the significant decline in the price of crude oil, both of which negatively impacted our revenues, cost of products sold and operating income and lowered our liquidity. Throughput rates across our refining system also decreased and we are currently operating our refineries at reduced rates. Refer to “Item 1. Business - Recent Developments” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for further information.

East Coast Refining Reconfiguration

On December 31, 2020, we completed the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration. As part of the reconfiguration process, we idled certain of our major processing units at the Paulsboro refinery, resulting in lower overall throughput and inventory levels in addition to decreases in capital and operating costs. Based on this reconfiguration, our East Coast throughput capacity is approximately 285,000 barrels per day.

Turnaround Costs and Assets under Construction

As a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, certain major processing units were temporarily idled. As such, we accelerated the recognition of approximately $56.2 million of unamortized deferred turnaround costs associated with these idled units. Additionally, we abandoned certain projects related to assets under construction related to these idled assets, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $11.9 million.

Capital Project Abandonments

In connection with our ongoing strategic initiative to address the COVID-19 pandemic, including our East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, we reassessed our refinery wide slate of capital projects that were either in process or not yet placed into service as of December 31, 2020. Based on this reassessment and our strategic plan to reduce capital expenditures, we decided to abandon various capital projects across the refining system, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $79.9 million.

55

Severance Costs

Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented a number of cost reduction initiatives to strengthen our financial flexibility and rationalize overhead expenses, including reductions in our workforce. During the second quarter of 2020, we reduced headcount across our refineries, which resulted in approximately $12.9 million of severance related costs. Additionally, as a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, we incurred charges in the fourth quarter of 2020 of approximately $11.8 million of severance related expenses. These severance costs are included in general and administrative expenses.

Early Return of Railcars

In the fourth quarter of 2020 we agreed to voluntarily return a portion of railcars under an operating lease in order to rationalize certain components of our railcar fleet. Under the terms of the lease amendment, we agreed to pay amounts in lieu of satisfaction of return conditions (the “early termination penalty”). As a result, we recognized an expense of $12.5 million within Cost of sales, consisting of charges for the early termination penalty and charges related to the remaining lease payments associated with the railcars identified within the amended lease, all of which were idled and out of service as of December 31, 2020.

In the third quarter of 2018 we agreed to voluntarily return a portion of railcars under an operating lease in order to rationalize certain components of our railcar fleet. Under the terms of the lease amendment, we agreed to pay the early termination penalty and a reduced rental fee over the remaining term of the lease. As a result, we recognized an expense of $52.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 included within Cost of sales consisting of (i) a $40.3 million charge for the early termination penalty and (ii) a $12.0 million charge related to the remaining lease payments associated with the railcars identified within the amended lease, all of which were idled and out of service as of December 31, 2018.

Torrance Land Sales

On December 30, 2020, August 1, 2019 and August 7, 2018, we closed on third-party sales of parcels of real property acquired as part of the Torrance refinery, but not part of the refinery itself. The sales resulted in gains of approximately $8.1 million, $33.1 million and $43.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, third quarter of 2019 and third quarter of 2018, respectively, included within Gain on sale of assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Sale of Hydrogen Plants

On April 17, 2020, we closed on the sale of five hydrogen plants to Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (“Air Products”) in a sale-leaseback transaction for gross cash proceeds of $530.0 million and recognized a gain of $471.1 million. In connection with the sale, we entered into a transition services agreement through which Air Products will exclusively supply hydrogen, steam, carbon dioxide and other products (the “Products”) to the Martinez, Torrance and Delaware City refineries for a specified period (not expected to exceed 18 months). The transition services agreement also requires certain maintenance and operating activities to be provided by PBF Holding, for which we will be reimbursed, during the term of the agreement. In August 2020, the parties executed long-term supply agreements pursuant to which Air Products will supply the Products for a term of fifteen years at these same refineries.

56

Debt and Credit Facilities

Credit Ratings

During the fourth quarter of 2020, each of our credit rating agencies downgraded our corporate family rating as well as our unsecured and secured notes ratings, with all ratings on negative outlook as the refining sector continues to experience weak refining margins due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related negative demand impact. As a result of the downgrade, the cost of borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility has increased in accordance with the Revolving Credit Agreement. The 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes are rated B3 by Moody’s, B+ by S&P, and B+ by Fitch. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes are rated Ba3 by Moody’s, BB by S&P, and BB by Fitch.

Catalyst Financing Obligations

On September 25, 2020, we closed on agreements to sell a portion of our precious metals catalyst to certain major commercial banks for approximately $51.9 million and subsequently leased the catalyst back. The precious metals financing arrangements cover a portion of the catalyst used in our East Coast Refining System, Martinez and Toledo refineries. The volumes of the precious metal catalyst and the interest rates are fixed over the term of each financing arrangement. We are obligated to repurchase the precious metals catalyst at fair market value upon expiration of these leases, and the earliest expiration is September 2021. For all leases not renewed at maturity, we have the ability and intent to finance such debt through availability under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Senior Notes

On May 13, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $982.9 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

On December 21, 2020, we issued $250.0 million, in a tack-on offering, in aggregate principal amount of the additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $245.7 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

On January 24, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $987.0 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used $517.5 million of the proceeds to fully redeem our 2023 Senior Notes and the balance to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Martinez Acquisition.

On February 14, 2020, we exercised our rights under the indenture governing the 2023 Senior Notes to redeem all of the outstanding 2023 Senior Notes at a price of 103.5% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. The aggregate redemption price for all 2023 Senior Notes approximated $517.5 million plus accrued and unpaid interest. The difference between the carrying value of the 2023 Senior Notes on the date they were redeemed and the amount for which they were redeemed was $22.2 million and has been classified as Debt extinguishment costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Refer to “Note 9 - Credit Facilities and Debt” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information.

57

PBF Holding Revolving Credit Facility

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we used advances under our Revolving Credit Facility to fund a portion of the Martinez Acquisition and for other general corporate purposes.

On May 2, 2018, us and certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, as borrowers or subsidiary guarantors, replaced our existing asset-based revolving credit agreement dated as of August 15, 2014 (the “August 2014 Revolving Credit Agreement”) with the Revolving Credit Facility. Among other things, the Revolving Credit Facility increases the maximum commitment available to us from $2.6 billion to $3.4 billion, extends the maturity date to May 2023, and redefines certain components of the Borrowing Base, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, to make more funding available for working capital and other general corporate purposes. In addition, an accordion feature allows for commitments of up to $3.5 billion. The commitment fees on the unused portion, the interest rate on advances and the fees for letters of credit are consistent with the August 2014 Revolving Credit Agreement and further described in “Note 9 - Credit Facilities and Debt” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020 were $900.0 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Martinez Acquisition

We acquired the Martinez refinery and related logistics assets from Shell Oil Products on February 1, 2020 for an aggregate purchase price of $1,253.4 million, including final working capital of $216.1 million and the obligation to make certain post-closing earn-out payments to Shell Oil Products based on certain earnings thresholds of the Martinez refinery for a period of up to four years (the “Martinez Contingent Consideration”). The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand, including proceeds from the 2028 Senior Notes, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Martinez refinery is located on an 860-acre site in the City of Martinez, 30 miles northeast of San Francisco, California. The refinery is a high-conversion 157,000 bpd, dual-coking facility with a Nelson Complexity Index of 16.1, making it one of the most complex refineries in the United States. The facility is strategically positioned in Northern California and provides for operating and commercial synergies with the Torrance refinery located in Southern California. In addition to refining assets, the Martinez Acquisition includes a number of high-quality onsite logistics assets including a deep-water marine facility, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities with approximately 8.8 million barrels of shell capacity.

Inventory Intermediation Agreements

The Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron were amended in the first quarter of 2019 and amended and restated in the third quarter of 2019, pursuant to which certain terms of the Inventory Intermediation Agreements were amended, including, among other things, the maturity date. On March 29, 2019, the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, us and DCR was amended to add the East Coast Storage Assets as a location and crude oil as a new product type to be included in the products sold to J. Aron by DCR. On August 29, 2019, the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, us and PRC was extended to December 31, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2022, and the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, us and DCR was extended to June 30, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to June 30, 2022. We intend to either extend or replace the Inventory Intermediation Agreements prior to their expirations.

58

Pursuant to each Inventory Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron continues to purchase and hold title to the J. Aron Products produced by the refinery, and delivered into our J. Aron Storage Tanks. The J. Aron Products are sold back to us as they are discharged out of our J. Aron Storage Tanks. J. Aron has the right to store the J. Aron Products purchased in tanks under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements and will retain these storage rights for the term of the agreements. At expiration or termination of each of the Inventory Intermediation Agreements, we will have to repurchase the inventories outstanding under the applicable Inventory Intermediation Agreement at that time. PBF Holding continues to market and sell the J. Aron Products independently to third parties.

Renewable Fuels Standard

We are subject to obligations to purchase RINs required to comply with the Renewable Fuels Standard. Our overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by EPA. To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RINs obligation, RINs must be purchased on the open market to avoid penalties and fines. We record our RINs obligation on a net basis in Accrued expenses when our 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. We incurred approximately $326.4 million in RINs costs during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $122.7 million and $143.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fluctuations in RINs costs are due primarily to volatility in prices for ethanol-linked RINs and increases in our production of on-road transportation fuels since 2012. Our RINs purchase obligation is dependent on our actual shipment of on-road transportation fuels domestically and the amount of blending achieved.

Agreements with PBFX

PBFX is a fee-based, growth-oriented, publicly-traded Delaware MLP formed by our indirect parent company, PBF Energy, to own or lease, operate, develop and acquire crude oil, and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX engages in 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 us in support of certain of our refineries, as well as for third-party customers.

Beginning with the completion of the PBFX Offering, we have entered into a series of agreements with PBFX, including contribution, commercial and operational agreements. Each of these agreements and their impact to our operations is described in “Item 1. Business” and “Note 11 - Related Party Transactions” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

A summary of our affiliate transactions with PBFX is as follows (in millions):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020		2019		2018

Factors Affecting Operating Results

Overview

Our earnings and cash flows from operations are primarily affected by the relationship between refined product prices and the prices for crude oil and other feedstocks. The cost to acquire crude oil and other feedstocks and the price of refined petroleum products ultimately sold depends on numerous factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, gasoline, diesel and other refined petroleum products, which, in turn, depend on, among other factors, changes in global and regional economies, weather conditions, global and regional political affairs, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive fuels, pipeline capacity, prevailing exchange rates and the extent of government regulation. Our revenue and income from operations fluctuate significantly with movements in industry refined petroleum product prices, our materials cost fluctuate significantly with movements in crude oil prices and our other operating expenses fluctuate with movements in the price of energy to meet the power needs of our refineries. In addition, the effect of changes in crude oil prices on our operating results is influenced by how the prices of refined products adjust to reflect such changes.

Crude oil and other feedstock costs and the prices of refined petroleum products have historically been subject to wide fluctuation. Expansion and upgrading of existing facilities and installation of additional refinery distillation or conversion capacity, price volatility, governmental regulations, international political and economic developments and other factors beyond our control are likely to continue to play an important role in refining industry economics. These factors can impact, among other things, the level of inventories in the market, resulting in price volatility and a reduction or increase in product margins. Moreover, the industry typically experiences seasonal fluctuations in demand for refined petroleum products, such as for gasoline and diesel, during the summer driving season and for home heating oil during the winter.

Benchmark Refining Margins

In assessing our operating performance, we compare the refining margins (revenue less materials cost) of each of our refineries against a specific benchmark industry refining margin based on crack spreads. Benchmark refining margins take into account both crude and refined petroleum product prices. When these prices are combined in a formula they provide a single value—a gross margin per barrel—that, when multiplied by throughput, provides an approximation of the gross margin generated by refining activities.

The performance of our East Coast refineries generally follows the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Toledo refinery generally follows the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Chalmette refinery generally follows the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Torrance refinery generally follows the Alaskan North Slope (“ANS”) (West Coast) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Martinez refinery generally follows the ANS (West Coast) 3-2-1 benchmark refining margin.

While the benchmark refinery margins presented below under “Results of Operations—Market Indicators” are representative of the results of our refineries, each refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis will differ from the benchmark due to a variety of factors affecting the performance of the relevant refinery to its corresponding benchmark. These factors include the refinery’s actual type of crude oil throughput, product yield differentials and any other factors not reflected in the benchmark refining margins, such as transportation costs, storage costs, credit fees, fuel consumed during production and any product premiums or discounts, as well as inventory fluctuations, timing of crude oil and other feedstock purchases, a rising or declining crude and product pricing environment and commodity price management activities. As discussed in more detail below, each of our refineries, depending on market conditions, has certain feedstock-cost and product-value advantages and disadvantages as compared to the refinery’s relevant benchmark.

60

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to us. Our exposure to credit risk is reflected in the carrying amount of the receivables that are presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. To minimize credit risk, all customers are subject to extensive credit verification procedures and extensions of credit above defined thresholds are to be approved by the senior management. Our intention is to trade only with recognized creditworthy third parties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. We also limit the risk of bad debts by obtaining security such as guarantees or letters of credit.

We continually monitor our market risk exposure, including the impact and developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related governmental and consumer responses which have introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

Other Factors

We currently source our crude oil for our refineries on a global basis through a combination of market purchases and short-term purchase contracts, and through our crude oil supply agreements. We believe purchases based on market pricing has given us flexibility in obtaining crude oil at lower prices and on a more accurate “as needed” basis. Since our East Coast refineries access their crude slates from the Delaware River via ship or barge and through our rail facilities at Delaware City, these refineries have the flexibility to purchase crude oils from the Mid-Continent and Western Canada, as well as a number of different countries. We have not sourced crude oil under our crude supply arrangement with PDVSA since 2017 as PDVSA has suspended deliveries due to our inability to agree to mutually acceptable payment terms and because of U.S. government sanctions against PDVSA.

In the past several years, we expanded and upgraded the existing on-site railroad infrastructure on the east coast. Currently, crude oil delivered by rail is consumed at our East Coast refineries. The Delaware City rail unloading facilities, which were sold to PBFX in 2014, and the East Coast Storage Assets, allow our East Coast refineries to source WTI-based crude oils from Western Canada and the Mid-Continent, which we believe, at times, may provide cost advantages versus traditional Brent-based international crude oils. In support of this rail strategy, we have at times entered into agreements to lease or purchase crude railcars. Certain of these railcars were subsequently sold to a third-party, which has leased the railcars back to us for periods of between four and seven years. In subsequent periods, we have sold or returned railcars to optimize our railcar portfolio. Our railcar fleet, at times, provides transportation flexibility within our crude oil sourcing strategy that allows our East Coast refineries to process cost advantaged crude from Canada and the Mid-Continent.

Our operating cost structure is also important to our profitability. Major operating costs include costs relating to employees and contract labor, energy, maintenance and environmental compliance and emission control regulations, including the cost of RINs required for compliance with the Renewable Fuels Standard. The predominant variable cost is energy, in particular, the price of utilities, natural gas and electricity.

Our operating results are also affected by the reliability of our refinery operations. Unplanned downtime of our refinery assets generally results in lost margin opportunity and increased maintenance expense. The financial impact of planned downtime, such as major turnaround maintenance, is managed through a planning process that considers such things as the margin environment, the availability of resources to perform the needed maintenance and feed logistics, whereas unplanned downtime does not afford us this opportunity.

Furthermore, during 2020 our operating results were negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which has caused a significant decline in the demand for our refined products and a decrease in the prices for crude oil and refined products, both of which have negatively impacted our revenues, cost of sales and operating income.

Refinery-Specific Information

The following section includes refinery-specific information related to our operations, crude oil differentials, ancillary costs, and local premiums and discounts.

East Coast Refining System (Delaware City and Paulsboro Refineries). The benchmark refining margin for the East Coast Refining System is calculated by assuming that two barrels of Dated Brent crude oil are converted into one barrel of gasoline and one barrel of diesel. We calculate this benchmark using the NYH market value of reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending (“RBOB”) and ULSD against the market value of Dated Brent and refer to the benchmark as the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 benchmark refining margin. The East Coast Refining System has a product slate of approximately 47% gasoline, 32% distillate, 2% high-value Group I lubricants, 2% high-value petrochemicals, with the remaining portion of the product slate comprised of lower-value products (3% petroleum coke, 4% LPGs, 7% black oil and 3% other). For this reason, we believe the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 is an appropriate benchmark industry refining margin. The majority of East Coast refining revenues are generated off NYH-based market prices.

The East Coast Refining System’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis is projected to differ from the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 benchmark refining margin due to the following factors:

•the system processes a slate of primarily medium and heavy sour crude oils, which has constituted approximately 60% to 70% of total throughput. The remaining throughput consists of sweet crude oil and other feedstocks and blendstocks. In addition, we have the capability to process a significant volume of light, sweet crude oil depending on market conditions. Our total throughput costs have historically priced at a discount to Dated Brent; and

•as a result of the heavy, sour crude slate processed at our East Coast Refining System, we produce lower value products including sulfur, carbon dioxide and petroleum coke. These products are priced at a significant discount to RBOB and ULSD.

•the Paulsboro refinery produces Group I lubricants which carry a premium sales price to RBOB and ULSD and the black oil is sold as asphalt which may be sold at a premium or discount to Dated Brent based on the market.

Toledo Refinery. The benchmark refining margin for the Toledo refinery is calculated by assuming that four barrels of WTI crude oil are converted into three barrels of gasoline, one-half barrel of ULSD and one-half barrel of jet fuel. We calculate this refining margin using the Chicago market values of CBOB and ULSD and the United States Gulf Coast value of jet fuel against the market value of WTI and refer to this benchmark as the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Toledo refinery has a product slate of approximately 53% gasoline, 30% distillate, 4% high-value petrochemicals (including nonene, tetramer, benzene, xylene and toluene) with the remaining portion of the product slate comprised of lower-value products (4% LPGs, 8% black oil and 1% other). For this reason, we believe the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 is an appropriate benchmark industry refining margin. The majority of Toledo revenues are generated off Chicago-based market prices.

The Toledo refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis has historically differed from the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin due to the following factors:

•the Toledo refinery processes a slate of domestic sweet and Canadian synthetic crude oil. Historically, Toledo’s blended average crude costs have differed from the market value of WTI crude oil;

•the Toledo refinery configuration enables it to produce more barrels of product than throughput which generates a pricing benefit; and

•the Toledo refinery generates a pricing benefit on some of its refined products, primarily its petrochemicals.

Chalmette Refinery. The benchmark refining margin for the Chalmette refinery is calculated by assuming two barrels of LLS crude oil are converted into one barrel of gasoline and one barrel of diesel. We calculate this benchmark using the US Gulf Coast market value of 87 conventional gasoline and ULSD against the market value of LLS and refer to this benchmark as the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Chalmette refinery has a product slate of approximately 42% gasoline and 32% distillate, 2% high-value petrochemicals with the remaining portion of the product slate comprised of lower-value products (9% black oil, 5% LPGs, 4% petroleum coke and 6% other). For this reason, we believe the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 is an appropriate benchmark industry refining margin. The majority of Chalmette revenues are generated off Gulf Coast-based market prices.

The Chalmette refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis has historically differed from the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 benchmark refining margin due to the following factors:

•the Chalmette refinery has generally processed a slate of primarily medium and heavy sour crude oils, which has historically constituted approximately 65% to 75% of total throughput. The remaining throughput consists of sweet crude oil and other feedstocks and blendstocks; and

•as a result of the heavy, sour crude slate processed at Chalmette, we produce lower-value products including sulfur and petroleum coke. These products are priced at a significant discount to 87 conventional gasoline and ULSD.

The PRL (pre-treater, reformer, light ends) project was completed in 2017 which has increased high-octane, ultra-low sulfur reformate and chemicals production. The new crude oil tank was also commissioned in 2017 and is allowing additional gasoline and diesel exports, reduced RINs compliance costs and lower crude ship demurrage costs.

Additionally, the idled 12,000 barrel per day coker unit was restarted in the fourth quarter of 2019 to increase the refinery’s long-term feedstock flexibility to capture the potential benefit in the price for heavy and high-sulfur feedstocks. The unit has increased the refinery’s total coking capacity to approximately 40,000 barrels per day.

Torrance Refinery. The benchmark refining margin for the Torrance refinery is calculated by assuming that four barrels of ANS crude oil are converted into three barrels of gasoline, one-half barrel of diesel and one-half barrel of jet fuel. We calculate this benchmark using the West Coast Los Angeles market value of California reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending (“CARBOB”), CARB diesel and jet fuel and refer to the benchmark as the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Torrance refinery has a product slate of approximately 64% gasoline and 19% distillate with the remaining portion of the product slate comprised of lower-value products (3% LPG, 3% black oil and 11% other). For this reason, we believe the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 is an appropriate benchmark industry refining margin. The majority of Torrance revenues are generated off West Coast Los Angeles-based market prices.

The Torrance refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis has historically differed from the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin due to the following factors:

•the Torrance refinery has generally processed a slate of primarily heavy sour crude oils, which has historically constituted approximately 80% to 90% of total throughput. The Torrance crude slate has the lowest API gravity (typically an API gravity of less than 20 degrees) of all of our refineries. The remaining throughput consists of other feedstocks and blendstocks; and

•as a result of the heavy, sour crude slate processed at Torrance, we produce lower-value products including petroleum coke and sulfur. These products are priced at a significant discount to gasoline and diesel.

63

Martinez Refinery. The benchmark refining margin for the Martinez refinery is calculated by assuming that three barrels of ANS crude oil are converted into two barrels of gasoline, one-quarter barrel of diesel and three-quarter barrel of jet fuel. We calculate this benchmark using the West Coast San Francisco market value of California reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending (CARBOB), CARB diesel and jet fuel and refer to the benchmark as the ANS (West Coast) 3-2-1 benchmark refining margin. Our Martinez refinery has a product slate of approximately 56% gasoline and 34% distillate with the remaining portion of the product slate comprised of lower-value products (4% petroleum coke, 3% LPG and 3% other). For this reason, we believe the ANS (West Coast) 3-2-1 is an appropriate benchmark industry refining margin. The majority of Martinez revenues are generated off West Coast San Francisco-based market prices.

The Martinez refinery’s realized gross margin on a per barrel basis has historically differed from the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 benchmark refining margin due to the following factors:

•the Martinez refinery has generally processed a slate of primarily heavy sour crude oils, which has historically constituted approximately 80% to 90% of total throughput. The remaining throughput consists of other feedstocks and blendstocks; and

•as a result of the heavy, sour crude slate processed at Martinez, we produce lower-value products including petroleum coke and sulfur. These products are priced at a significant discount to gasoline and CARB diesel.

2020 Compared to 2019

Overview— Our net loss was $(1,857.5) million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to net income of $388.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Our results for the year ended December 31, 2020 were positively impacted by special items consisting of a gain on the sale of hydrogen plants of $471.1 million, a gain on the sale of land at our Torrance refinery of $8.1 million and change in fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration of $79.3 million. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2020 were negatively impacted by special items consisting of a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $268.0 million, debt extinguishment costs associated with the early redemption of the 2023 Senior Notes of $22.2 million, severance costs related to reductions in workforce of $24.7 million, impairment expense of $91.8 million related to the write-down of certain assets and project abandonments, early return of certain leased railcars of $12.5 million, accelerated turnaround amortization costs of $56.2 million , LIFO inventory decrement of $83.0 million, and reconfiguration charges of $5.3 million. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2019 were positively impacted by an LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $250.2 million and gain on the sale of land at our Torrance refinery of $33.1 million. The LCM inventory adjustments were recorded due to movements in the price of crude oil and refined products in the periods presented.

Excluding the impact of these special items, our results were negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which has caused a significant decline in the demand for our refined products and a decrease in the prices for crude oil and refined products, both of which have negatively impacted our revenues, cost of products sold and operating income. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2020 we experienced unfavorable movements in certain crude differentials and overall lower throughput volumes and barrels sold across our refineries, as well as lower refining margins. All our operating regions experienced lower refining margins for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the prior year. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2020 were negatively impacted by higher general and administrative expenses associated

67

with integration costs associated with the Martinez Acquisition and increased depreciation and amortization expense associated with the Martinez Acquisition and accelerated amortization costs associated with the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration.

Revenues— Revenues totaled $15.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $24.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of approximately $9.5 billion or 38.8%. Revenues per barrel sold were $49.20 and $69.81 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of 29.5% directly related to lower hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 263,000 bpd, 96,700 bpd, 137,700 bpd and 230,300 bpd, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 336,400 bpd, 153,000 bpd, 177,900 bpd and 155,800 bpd, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 296,200 bpd, 114,500 bpd, 159,700 bpd and 265,200 bpd, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 382,500 bpd, 163,900 bpd, 225,300 bpd and 188,600 bpd, respectively.

The throughput rates at our refineries were lower in the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Our Martinez refinery was not acquired until the first quarter of 2020 and is therefore not included in the prior period West Coast throughput. We operated our refineries at reduced rates beginning in March 2020, and, based on current market conditions, we plan on continuing to operate our refineries at lower utilization until such time that sustained product demand justifies higher production. 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 $(1,836.4) million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $730.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $2,566.6 million. Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $496.8 million, or $1.86 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $2,801.2 million, or $9.34 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of approximately $2,304.4 million. Gross refining margin excluding special items totaled $860.3 million, or $3.23 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $2,551.0 million, or $8.51 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $1,690.7 million.

Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin were negatively impacted in the current year by a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $268.0 million, resulting from the decrease in crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended 2019, a LIFO inventory decrement charge of $83.0 million mainly related to our East Coast LIFO inventory layer and the reduction to our East Coast inventory experienced as part of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, and early return of certain leased railcars of $12.5 million. Gross refining margin, excluding the impact of special items, decreased due to unfavorable movements in certain crude differentials and an overall decrease in throughput rates. For the year ended December 31, 2019, special items impacting our margin calculations included a favorable non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $250.2 million, resulting from an increase in crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended December 31, 2018.

Additionally, our results continue to be impacted by significant costs to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. Total Renewable Fuel Standard costs were $326.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 in comparison to $122.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Average industry margins were mixed during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared with the prior year, primarily due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on regional demand and commodity prices in 2020, in addition to impacts related to 2019 planned turnarounds, all of which were completed in the first half of the prior year.

68

On the East Coast, the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $9.11 per barrel, or 28.2% lower, in the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $12.68 per barrel in the same period in 2019. Our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate on the East Coast by weakened Dated Brent/Maya differential, which decreased by $1.39 per barrel, in comparison to the same period in 2019. Additionally, WTI/WCS differential decreased to $10.72 per barrel in 2020 compared to $13.61 per barrel in 2019, which unfavorably impacted our cost of heavy Canadian crude. The WTI/Bakken differentials increased by $1.75 per barrel when compared to 2019.

Across the Mid-Continent, the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $6.30 per barrel, or 58.7% lower, in the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $15.25 per barrel in the prior year. Our margins were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate in the Mid-Continent by an increasing WTI/Bakken differential, which averaged $2.41 per barrel in the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $0.66 per barrel in the prior year. Additionally, the WTI/Syncrude differential averaged $2.13 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $0.18 per barrel in the prior year.

On the Gulf Coast, the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was $7.59 per barrel, or 38.9% lower, in the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $12.43 per barrel in the prior year. Margins on the Gulf Coast were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a strengthening WTI/LLS differential, which averaged a premium of $1.88 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to a premium of $5.64 per barrel in the prior year.

On the West Coast, the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $11.30 per barrel, or 38.8% lower, in the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $18.46 per barrel in the prior year. Additionally, margins on the West Coast were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a strengthening WTI/ANS differential, which averaged a premium of $2.95 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to a premium of $7.97 per barrel in the prior year.

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.

Operating Expenses— Operating expenses totaled $1,835.2 million, or $6.89 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $1,684.3 million, or $5.61 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $150.9 million, or 9.0%. Increases in operating expenses were due to costs associated with the Martinez refinery and related logistic assets which totaled approximately $356.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 excluding our Martinez refinery, decreased due to our cost reduction initiatives taken to strengthen our financial flexibility and offset the negative impact of COVID-19, such as significant reductions in discretionary activities and third party services.

General and Administrative Expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $229.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $258.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $29.7 million or 11.5%.The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 in comparison to the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily relates to reduction in our workforce as a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration and reduction in overhead expenses through temporary salary reductions to a large portion of our workforce. These costs decreases were offset by headcount reduction severance costs across the refineries as well as integration costs pertaining to the Martinez Acquisition. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries.

Gain on Sale of Assets— There was a gain of $477.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 related primarily to the sale of five hydrogen plants and the sale of a parcel of land at our Torrance refinery. There was a gain on sale of assets of $29.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily attributable to the sale of a parcel of land at our Torrance refinery.

69

Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $509.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 (including $498.0 million recorded within Cost of sales) compared to $397.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 (including $386.7 million recorded within Cost of sales), an increase of $111.8 million. The increase was a result of additional depreciation expense associated with the assets acquired in the Martinez Acquisition and a general increase in our fixed asset base due to capital projects and turnarounds completed since the third quarter of 2019. Additionally, amortization expense recorded in 2020 includes $56.2 million of accelerated unamortized deferred turnaround costs associated with assets that were idled as part of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration — Change in fair value of contingent consideration represented a gain of $79.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This change represents the decrease in the estimated fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration associated with acquisition related earn-out obligations. There was no such change in the prior year.

Change in Fair Value of Catalyst Obligations— Change in fair value of catalyst obligations represented a loss of $11.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a loss of $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. 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 on the catalyst financing arrangement termination dates.

Impairment expense— Impairment expense totaled $91.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and was associated with the write-down of certain assets as a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration and other refinery wide project abandonments. There was no such expense recorded in the prior year.

Debt Extinguishment Costs— Debt extinguishment costs of $22.2 million incurred in the year ended December 31, 2020 relate to the early redemption of our 2023 Senior Notes. There were no such costs in the same period of 2019.

Interest Expense, net— Interest expense totaled $210.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $108.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $101.6 million. This net increase is mainly attributable to higher interest costs associated with the issuance of the 2028 Senior Notes in January 2020, the issuance of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes in May 2020 and December 2020, as well as higher outstanding borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metal catalysts, financing costs associated with the Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils and the amortization of deferred financing costs.

Income Tax Expense— As we are a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, our consolidated financial statements generally do not include a benefit or expense for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, apart from the income tax attributable to two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the acquisition of our Chalmette refinery and our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, PBF Energy Limited (“PBF Ltd.”). These subsidiaries are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes. An income tax expense of $6.1 million was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2020 in comparison to income tax benefit of $8.3 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily attributable to volatility in the results of our taxable subsidiaries.

2019 Compared to 2018

Overview— Our net income was $388.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $103.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Our results for the year ended December 31, 2019 were positively impacted by special items comprised of a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $250.2 million and a gain on the sale of land at our Torrance refinery of $33.1 million. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2018 were negatively impacted by an LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $351.3 million and the early return of certain leased railcars, resulting in a charge of $52.3 million. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by a special item related to a gain on the sale of land at our Torrance refinery of $43.8 million.

Excluding the impact of these special items, our results for the year ended December 31, 2019 were negatively impacted by unfavorable movements in crude differentials and overall lower throughput volumes and barrels sold across our refineries, partially offset by higher crack spreads realized at our West Coast refinery. Refining margins for the current year compared to the prior year were weaker at our East Coast, Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast refineries, offset by significantly stronger margins realized on the West Coast. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2019 were also negatively impacted by increased operating expenses and depreciation and amortization expense associated with our continued investment in our refining assets and the effect of significant turnaround and maintenance activity during 2019.

Revenues— Revenues totaled $24.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $27.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of approximately $2.7 billion or 9.9%. Revenues per barrel sold were $69.81 and $77.01 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of 9.3% directly related to lower hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 336,400 bpd, 153,000 bpd, 177,900 bpd and 155,800 bpd, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 344,700 bpd, 149,600 bpd, 185,600 bpd and 169,800 bpd, respectively. The throughput rates at our East Coast and West Coast refineries were lower in the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to planned downtime associated with turnarounds of the coker and associated units at our Delaware City and Torrance refineries and the crude unit at our Paulsboro refinery, all of which were completed in the first half of 2019, and unplanned downtime at our Delaware City refinery in the first quarter of 2019. Throughput rates at our Mid-Continent refinery were higher in the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018 due to a planned turnaround at our Toledo refinery in the first half of 2018. Throughput rates at our Gulf Coast refinery were lower in the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to unplanned downtime in the fourth quarter of 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 382,500 bpd, 163,900 bpd, 225,300 bpd and 188,600 bpd, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 372,700 bpd, 161,800 bpd, 233,700 bpd and 198,100 bpd, respectively. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside the refineries.

Consolidated Gross Margin— Consolidated gross margin totaled $730.2 million, for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $434.9 million, for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $295.3 million. Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $2,801.2 million, or $9.34 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $2,419.4 million, or $7.79 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of approximately $381.8 million. Gross refining margin excluding special items totaled $2,551.0 million, or $8.51 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $2,823.0 million, or $9.09 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $272.0 million.

71

Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin were positively impacted in the year ended December 31, 2019 by a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $250.2 million resulting from the increase in crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended 2018. Gross refining margin excluding the impact of special items decreased due to unfavorable movements in certain crude differentials and refining margins and reduced throughput rates at the majority of our refineries, partially offset by higher throughput rates in the Mid-Continent and stronger crack spreads on the West Coast. For the year ended December 31, 2018, special items impacting our margin calculations included a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $351.3 million, resulting from a decrease in crude oil and refined product prices and a $52.3 million charge resulting from costs associated with the early return of certain leased railcars.

Additionally, our results continue to be impacted by significant costs to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard, although at a reduced level from the prior year. Total Renewable Fuel Standard costs were $122.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared with $143.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Average industry margins were mixed during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared with the same period in 2018, primarily as a result of varying regional product inventory levels and seasonal and unplanned refining downtime issues impacting product margins. Crude oil differentials were generally unfavorable compared with the prior year, with notable light-heavy crude differential compression negatively impacting our gross refining margin and moving our overall crude slate lighter.

On the East Coast, the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $12.68 per barrel, or 3.7% lower, in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $13.17 per barrel in the same period in 2018. Our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate on the East Coast by tightening in the Dated Brent/Maya and WTI/Bakken differentials, which decreased $1.94 per barrel and $2.20 per barrel, respectively, in comparison to the same period in 2018. In addition, the WTI/WCS differential decreased significantly to $13.61 per barrel in 2019 compared to $26.93 per barrel in 2018, which unfavorably impacted our cost of heavy Canadian crude.

Across the Mid-Continent, the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $15.25 per barrel, or 2.8% higher, in the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $14.84 per barrel in the same period in 2018. Our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate in the Mid-Continent by a decreasing WTI/Bakken differential, which averaged approximately $0.66 per barrel in the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $2.86 per barrel in the same period in 2018. Additionally, the WTI/Syncrude differential averaged $0.18 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $6.84 per barrel in the same period of 2018.

In the Gulf Coast, the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was $12.43 per barrel, or 1.1% higher, in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $12.30 per barrel in the same period in 2018. Margins in the Gulf Coast were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a weakening WTI/LLS differential, which averaged a premium of $5.64 for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to a premium of $5.03 per barrel experienced in the same period in 2018.

On the West Coast, the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $18.46 per barrel, or 19.3% higher, in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $15.48 per barrel in the same period in 2018. Margins on the West Coast were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a weakening WTI/ANS differential, which averaged a premium of $7.97 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to a premium of $6.34 per barrel in the same period of 2018.

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.

72

Operating Expenses— Operating expenses totaled $1,684.3 million, or $5.61 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $1,654.8 million, or $5.34 per barrel of throughput, for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $29.5 million, or 1.8%. Increase in operating expenses were mainly attributed to higher outside service costs related to turnaround and maintenance activity.

General and Administrative Expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $258.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $253.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $4.9 million or 1.9%. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared with the year ended December 31, 2018 primarily related to higher outside services, including legal settlement charges and transaction costs related to the Martinez Acquisition, partially offset by a reduction in incentive compensation. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries and related logistics assets.

Gain on Sale of Assets— Gain on sale of assets was $29.9 million and $43.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, mainly attributed to the sale of two separate parcels of land at our Torrance refinery.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $397.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 (including $386.7 million recorded within Cost of sales), compared to $340.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 (including $329.7 million recorded within Cost of sales), an increase of $57.2 million. The increase was a result of additional depreciation expense associated with a general increase in our fixed asset base due to capital projects and turnarounds completed during 2019 and 2018, as well as accelerated amortization related to the Delaware City and Torrance refinery turnarounds, which were completed in the first half of 2019.

Change in Fair Value of Catalyst Obligations— Change in the fair value of catalyst obligations represented a loss of $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to a gain of $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. These gains and 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 return or repurchase at fair market value on the catalyst financing arrangement termination dates.

Interest Expense, net— Interest expense totaled $108.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $127.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, or a decrease of $18.4 million. This decrease is mainly attributable to lower outstanding revolver borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metal catalysts, financing costs associated with the Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils and the amortization of deferred financing costs.

Income Tax Expense— As we are a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, our consolidated financial statements generally do not include a benefit or expense for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, apart from the income tax attributable to two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the acquisition of our Chalmette refinery and PBF Ltd. These subsidiaries are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes. An income tax benefit of $8.3 million was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019 in comparison to income tax expense of $8.0 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2018 primarily attributable to volatility in the results of our taxable subsidiaries.

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 GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

Special Items

The Non-GAAP measures presented include EBITDA excluding special items and gross refining margin excluding special items. Special items for the periods presented relate to LCM inventory adjustments, debt extinguishment costs, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, gain on sale of hydrogen plants, severance costs related to reductions in workforce, impairment expense, gains on sale of assets at our Torrance refinery, charges associated with the early return of certain leased railcars, turnaround acceleration costs, reconfiguration costs and a LIFO inventory decrement. 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.

74

Gross Refining Margin and Gross Refining Margin Excluding Special Items

Gross refining margin is defined as consolidated gross margin excluding refinery depreciation and operating expense related to the refineries. 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):

	Year Ended December 31,

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, gain on sale of hydrogen plants, the write down of inventory to the LCM, debt extinguishment costs related to refinancing activities, 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)    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 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 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):

	2020		2019		2018
January 1,	$	401.6	$	651.8	$	300.5
December 31,	669.6		401.6		651.8

    The following table includes the corresponding impact of changes in the LCM inventory reserve on income (loss) from operations and net income (loss) for the periods presented (in millions):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020		2019		2018
Net LCM inventory adjustment (charge) benefit in both income (loss) from operations and net income (loss)	$	(268.0)	$	250.2	$	(351.3)

Change in fair value of contingent consideration - During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a change in fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Martinez Contingent Consideration which increased income from operations and net income by $79.3 million. There were no such changes in fair value of contingent consideration during the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Gain on sale of hydrogen plants - During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a gain on the sale of five hydrogen plants. The gain increased income from operations and net income by $471.1 million. There were no such gains in the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Gain on Torrance land sales - During the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we recorded gains on the sale of three separate parcels of real property acquired as part of the Torrance refinery, but not part of the refinery itself. The gain on sale increased income from operations and net income by $8.1 million, $33.1 million and $43.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

78

Impairment expense - During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an impairment charge which decreased income from operations and net income by $91.8 million, resulting from the write-down of certain assets as a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration and project abandonments. There were no such charges during the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

LIFO inventory decrement - As part of our overall reduction in throughput in 2020 and our reduction in inventory volume as of December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a charge to cost of products and other related to a LIFO inventory layer decrement. The majority of the decrement related to our East Coast LIFO inventory layer and the reduction to our East Coast inventory experienced as part of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration. These charges decreased income from operations and net income by $83.0 million. Decrements recorded in the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were not significant.

Turnaround acceleration costs - During the year ended December 31, 2020, we accelerated the recognition of turnaround amortization associated with units that were temporarily idled as part of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration. These costs decreased income from operations and net income by $56.2 million. There were no such costs in the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Severance and reconfiguration costs - During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded severance charges related to reductions in our workforce. These charges decreased income from operations and net income by $24.7 million. There were no such costs in the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded reconfiguration charges related to the temporary idling of certain assets as part of our East Coast Refining System. These charges decreased income from operations and net income by $5.3 million. There were no such costs in the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Early return of railcars - During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018 we recognized certain expenses within Cost of sales associated with the voluntary early return of certain leased railcars. These charges decreased income from operations and net income by $12.5 million, during the year ended December 31, 2020. These charges decreased income from operations and net income by $52.3 million, during the year ended December 31, 2018. There were no such expenses recorded in the year ended December 31, 2019.

Debt extinguishment costs - During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded debt extinguishment costs which decreased net income by $22.2 million related to the redemption of the 2023 Senior Secured Notes. There were no such costs in the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Typically our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, as described below; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related governmental and consumer responses, our business and results of operations are being negatively impacted. The demand destruction as a result of the worldwide economic slowdown and governmental responses, including travel restrictions, and stay-at-home orders, has resulted in a significant decrease in the demand for and market prices of our products. In addition, the global geopolitical and macroeconomic events that took place during the first quarter of 2020 further contributed to the overall volatility in crude oil and refined product prices, contributing to an adverse impact on our liquidity. We continue to be focused on assessing and adapting to the challenging operating environment and evaluating our strategic measures to preserve liquidity and strengthen our balance sheet. Our response to the current economic environment and its impact on our liquidity is more fully described in the “Liquidity” section below.

Cash Flow Analysis

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $820.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $789.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 included our net loss of $1,857.5 million, gain on sale of assets of $477.8 million mainly related to the sale of the hydrogen plants and the sale of land at our Torrance refinery, net non-cash impact relating to the change in the fair value of our inventory repurchase obligations of $12.6 million, and change in the fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the Martinez Acquisition of $79.3 million, partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $523.8 million, a non-cash charge of $268.0 million related to an LCM inventory adjustment, impairment expense of $91.8 million, pension and other post-retirement benefits costs of $55.7 million, stock-based compensation of $29.3 million, debt extinguishment costs related to the early redemption of our 2023 Senior Notes of $22.2 million, change in the fair value of our catalyst obligations of $11.8 million and deferred income taxes of $7.3 million. In addition, net changes in operating assets and liabilities reflects cash inflows of $597.3 million driven by the timing of inventory purchases, payments for accrued expenses and accounts payables and collections of accounts receivables.

Revolving Credit Facilities Overview

Typically, one of our primary sources of liquidity are borrowings available under our revolving line of credit. We had availability under our Revolving Credit Facility as follows at December 31, 2020 (in millions):

	Total Commitment		Amount Borrowed as of December 31, 2020		Outstanding Letters of Credit		Borrowing base Availability		Expiration date
Revolving Credit Facility (a)	$	3,400.0	$	900.0	$	184.4	$	2,759.2	May 2023

___________________________

(a)    The amount available for borrowings and letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility is calculated according to a “borrowing base” formula based on (i) 90% of the book value of Eligible Accounts with respect to investment grade obligors plus (ii) 85% of the book value of Eligible Accounts with respect to non-investment grade obligors plus (iii) 80% of the cost of Eligible Hydrocarbon Inventory plus (iv) 100% of Cash and Cash Equivalents in deposit accounts subject to a control agreement, in each case as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. The borrowing base is subject to customary reserves and eligibility criteria and in any event cannot exceed $3.4 billion.

82

Additional Information on Indebtedness

Our debt, including our Revolving Credit Facility, term loan and senior notes, include certain typical financial covenants and restrictions on our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur or guarantee new debt, engage in certain business activities including transactions with affiliates and asset sales, make investments or distributions, engage in mergers or pay dividends in certain circumstances. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. We are in compliance as of December 31, 2020 with all covenants, including financial covenants, in all of our debt agreements. For further discussion of our indebtedness and these covenants and restrictions, see “Note 9 - Credit Facilities and Debt” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain developments in the global oil markets began negatively impacting our liquidity beginning towards the end of the first quarter of 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, our liquidity was approximately $2.3 billion ($2.2 billion as of December 31, 2019) based on $1.6 billion of cash, and more than $700.0 million of availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. Our total liquidity includes the amount of excess availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, which includes our cash on hand.

Due to the unprecedented events caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the negative impact it has caused to our liquidity, we executed a plan to strengthen our balance sheet and increase our flexibility and responsiveness by incorporating the following measurements:

•Implemented cost reduction and cash preservation initiatives, including a significant decrease in 2020 capital expenditures, lowering 2020 operating expenses driven by minimizing discretionary activities and third party services, headcount reductions, and cutting corporate overhead expenses through temporary salary reductions to a significant portion of our workforce;

•Suspended PBF Energy’s quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share, anticipated to preserve approximately $35.0 million of cash each quarter, to support the balance sheet;

•Closed on the sale of five hydrogen facilities for gross cash proceeds of $530.0 million on April 17, 2020;

•In May and December 2020, issued, respectively, $1.0 billion and $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2025 Senior Secured Notes for net proceeds of approximately $982.9 million and $245.7 million, respectively. See “Note 9 - Credit Facilities and Debt” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details related to the notes offerings;

•Entered into catalyst financing arrangements on September 25, 2020 for net proceeds of approximately $51.9 million;

•As of December 31, 2020 completed the operational reconfiguration of our East Coast Refining System comprised of our Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries. The reconfiguration resulted in the temporary idling of certain Paulsboro Refining units and overall lower throughput and inventory levels. Annual operating and capital expenditures savings are expected to be approximately $100.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, relative to average historic levels;

•On December 30, 2020, closed on a third-party sale of parcels of real property acquired as part of the Torrance refinery, but not part of the refinery itself, for net proceeds of $13.7 million; and

•In the fourth quarter of 2020, sold AB32 credits to a third party for gross proceeds of approximately $87.5 million and concurrently entered into forward purchase agreements to repurchase these credits in the fourth quarter of 2021 prior to settlement of our AB32 obligation.

83

We are actively responding to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing rebalancing in the global oil markets. We adjusted our operational plans to the evolving market conditions and took steps to lower our 2020 operating expenses through significant reductions in discretionary activities and third party services. We successfully reduced our 2020 operating expenses by $235.0 million, excluding energy savings, and exceeded our full-year goal of $140.0 million in total operating expense reductions. Including energy expenses, our full-year operating expenses reductions for 2020 totaled approximately $325.0 million. While some of these savings are a result of reduced operational tempo, the majority are deliberate operating and other expense reductions. Looking ahead, we expect operating expenses on a system-wide basis for 2021 to be reduced by $200.0 million to $225.0 million annually as a result of our efforts versus 2019 levels, including the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration.

We aggressively managed our capital expenditures in 2020, with total refining capital expenditures of $370.4 million, an almost 50% reduction to our planned 2020 expenditures.

While it is impossible to estimate the duration or complete financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that the strategic actions we have taken, plus our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our and our subsidiaries’ capital expenditures, working capital needs, and debt service requirements, for the next twelve months. We cannot assure you that our assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements will be correct because the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on us and our industry is ongoing and unprecedented. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, results of operation and liquidity will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, particularly within the geographic areas where we operate, and the related impact on overall economic activity, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. As a result, we may require additional capital, and, from time to time, may pursue funding strategies in the capital markets or through private transactions to strengthen our liquidity and/or fund strategic initiatives. Such additional financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

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 year ended December 31, 2020, 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 make new investments or incur new liens.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, each of our credit rating agencies downgraded our corporate credit rating in addition to the ratings on both our unsecured and secured notes, and maintained our outlook as negative as the refining sector continues to experience weak refining margins due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related negative demand impact. As a result of the downgrade, the cost of borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility has increased in accordance with the Revolving Credit Agreement. Given the current market conditions, we expect that our other credit ratings agencies may also re-evaluate our corporate credit rating and the ratings of our unsecured and secured notes. Further adverse actions taken by the rating agencies on our corporate credit rating or the rating of our notes may further increase our cost of borrowings or hinder our ability to raise financing in the capital markets, which could impair our ability to operate our business, increase our liquidity and make future cash distributions to our members.

Working Capital

Working capital at December 31, 2020 was approximately $1,265.4 million, consisting of $3,819.1 million in total current assets and $2,553.7 million in total current liabilities. Working capital at December 31, 2019 was $1,167.5 million, consisting of $3,766.4 million in total current assets and $2,598.9 million in total current liabilities. Working capital has increased during the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily as a result of proceeds from financing activities, partially offset by operating losses.

84

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 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 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 prevents 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 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 have entered into various five-year crude supply agreements with Shell Oil Products for approximately 145,000 bpd, in the aggregate, to support our West Coast and Mid-Continent refinery operations. In addition, we have entered into certain offtake agreements for our West Coast system with the same counterparty for clean products with varying terms up to 15 years.

Inventory Intermediation Agreements

We entered into Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, to support the operations of the Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries. The Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR expires on June 30, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to June 30, 2022.The Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and PRC expires on December 31, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2022. If not extended or replaced, at expiration, we will be required to repurchase the inventories outstanding under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements at that time. We intend to either extend or replace the Inventory Intermediation Agreements prior to their expirations.

At December 31, 2020, the LIFO value of the J. Aron Products included within Inventory in our Consolidated Balance Sheets was $266.5 million. We accrue a corresponding liability for such crude oil, intermediates and finished products.

Capital Spending

Capital spending, excluding $1,176.2 million attributed to the Martinez Acquisition, was $381.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which primarily included costs for the construction of the Delaware City refinery hydrogen plant, turnaround costs at our Toledo refinery, and safety related enhancements and facility improvements at our refineries. Due to current challenging market conditions, we have taken strategic steps to increase our flexibility and responsiveness, one of which is the reduction of capital expenditures. Total refining capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $370.4 million, an almost 50% reduction to our planned 2020 expenditures. We currently expect to spend an aggregate of approximately $400.0 million to $475.0 million in 2021, for facility improvements, refinery maintenance and turnarounds with the intention of satisfying all required safety, environmental and regulatory capital commitments.

On February 1, 2020 we acquired the Martinez refinery and related logistic assets. The purchase price for the Martinez Acquisition was $960.0 million in cash, plus final working capital of $216.1 million and $77.3 million related to the Martinez Contingent Consideration. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand including proceeds from the 2028 Senior Notes, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

85

(a) Credit facilities, debt and interest payments

Credit and debt obligations represent (i) the repayment of the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility; (ii) the repayment of indebtedness incurred in connection with the 2025 Senior Secured Notes, 2028 Senior Notes and 2025 Senior Notes; (iii) the repayment of our catalyst financing obligations on their maturity dates; and (iv) the repayment of our PBF Rail Term Loan.

Interest payments on debt facilities include cash interest payments on the 2025 Senior Secured Notes, 2028 Senior Notes and 2025 Senior Notes, catalyst financing obligations, PBF Rail Term Loan, plus cash payments for the commitment fees on the unused portion on our Revolving Credit Facility and letter of credit fees on the letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2020. With the exception of our PBF Rail Term Loan and our catalyst financing obligations, we have no debt maturing before 2023 as of December 31, 2020.

Refer to “Note 9 - Credit Facilities and Debt” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion related to debt.

(b) Leases and other rental-related commitments

We enter into leases and other rental-related agreements in the normal course of business. As described in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we adopted new guidance on leases effective January 1, 2019 which brought substantially all leases with initial terms of over twelve months outstanding as of the implementation date onto our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leases with initial terms of twelve months or less are considered short-term and we elected the practical expedient in the lease guidance to exclude these leases from our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Some of our leases provide us with the option to renew the lease at or before expiration of the lease terms. Future lease obligations would change if we chose to exercise renewal options or if we enter into additional operating or finance lease agreements. Certain of our lease obligations contain a fixed and variable component. The table above reflects the fixed component of our lease obligations, including short-term lease expense and affiliate leases with PBFX. The variable component could be significant. In addition, we have entered into certain

86

agreements for the supply of hydrogen that contain both lease and non-lease components. The table above also includes such non-lease components of these agreements. See “Note 13 - Leases” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details and disclosures regarding our operating and finance lease obligations.

We also enter into contractual obligations with third parties for the right to use property for locating pipelines and accessing certain of our assets (also referred to as land easements) in the normal course of business. Our obligations regarding such land easements are included within Leases and other rental-related commitments in the table above.

(c) Purchase obligations

We have obligations to repurchase the J. Aron Products under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron as further explained in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, “Note 5 - Inventories” and “Note 8 - Accrued Expenses” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, purchase obligations under “Crude and Feedstock Supply and Inventory Intermediation Agreements” include commitments to purchase crude oil from certain counterparties under supply agreements entered into to ensure adequate supplies of crude oil for our refineries. These obligations are based on aggregate minimum volume commitments at 2020 year end market prices.

Payments under “Other Supply and Capacity Agreements” include contracts for the transportation of crude oil and supply of hydrogen, steam, or natural gas to certain of our refineries, contracts for the treatment of wastewater, and contracts for pipeline capacity. We enter into these contracts to facilitate crude oil deliveries and to ensure an adequate supply of energy or essential services to support our refinery operations. Substantially all of these obligations are based on fixed prices. Certain agreements include fixed or minimum volume requirements, while others are based on our actual usage. The amounts included in this table are based on fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased and the fixed or estimated costs based on market conditions as of December 31, 2020.

Payments under “AB32 Settlement Obligations” include future obligations to repurchase AB32 credits previously sold to third parties and will be used to settle our AB32 liability. Liabilities related to these obligations are included in “Accrued expenses” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2020. See “Note 8 - Accrued Expenses” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details.

The amounts included in this table exclude our crude supply agreement with PDVSA. We have not sourced crude oil under this agreement since the third quarter of 2017 as PDVSA has suspended deliveries due to the parties inability to agree to mutually acceptable payment terms and because of U.S. government sanctions against PDVSA.

(d) Minimum Volume Commitments with PBFX

We have minimum obligations under our commercial agreements entered into with PBFX. Refer to “Note 11 - Related Party Transactions” and “Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies” of our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed explanation of each of these agreements and quantification of minimum amounts due in subsequent periods, respectively.

Included in the table above are our obligations related to the minimum volume commitments required under these commercial agreements that were determined to not be leases under GAAP. Any incremental volumes above any minimum throughput under these agreements would increase our obligations. Our obligation with respect to certain crude oil and refined product storage agreements is based on the estimated shell capacity of the storage tanks to be utilized.

87

(e) Environmental obligations

In connection with certain of our refinery acquisitions, we have assumed certain environmental remediation obligations to address matters that were outstanding at the time of such acquisitions. In addition, in connection with most of these acquisitions, we have purchased environmental insurance policies to insure against unknown environmental liabilities at each site. The obligations in the table above reflect our best undiscounted estimate in cost and tenure to remediate our outstanding obligations and are further discussed in “Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(f) Pension and post-retirement obligations

Pension and post-retirement obligations include only those amounts we expect to pay out in benefit payments and are further explained in “Note 16 - Employee Benefit Plans” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(g) Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration includes our obligations to pay certain contractual earn-outs entered into as part of the Martinez acquisition. As of December 31, 2020 we do not expect to achieve any earn-out obligations and therefore we have excluded this potential obligation from the table above.

(h)    Tax Receivable Agreement Obligation

    The table above does not include tax distributions or other distributions that we expect to make on account of PBF Energy’s obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Refer to “Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2020, other than outstanding letters of credit of approximately $184.4 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following summary provides further information about our critical accounting policies that involve critical accounting estimates and should be read in conjunction with “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The following accounting policies involve estimates that are considered critical due to the level of subjectivity and judgment involved, as well as the impact on our financial position and results of operations. We believe that all of our estimates are reasonable. Unless otherwise noted, estimates of the sensitivity to earnings that would result from changes in the assumptions used in determining our estimates is not practicable due to the number of assumptions and contingencies involved, and the wide range of possible outcomes.

Inventory

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of crude oil, feedstocks, blendstocks and refined products is determined under the LIFO method using the dollar value LIFO method with increments valued based on average cost during the year. The cost of supplies and other inventories is determined principally on the weighted average cost method. In addition, the use of the LIFO inventory method may result in increases or decreases to cost of sales in years that inventory volumes decline as the result of charging cost of sales with LIFO inventory costs generated in prior periods. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, market values had fallen below historical LIFO inventory costs and, as a result, we recorded an LCM or market inventory valuation reserves of $669.6 million and $401.6 million, respectively. The LCM or market inventory valuation reserve, or a portion thereof, is subject to reversal as a reduction to cost of products sold in subsequent periods as inventories giving rise to the reserve are sold, and a new reserve is established. Such a reduction to cost of products sold could be significant if inventory values return to historical cost price levels. Additionally, further

88

decreases in overall inventory values could result in additional charges to cost of products sold should the LCM or market inventory valuation reserve be increased.

Environmental Matters

Liabilities for future clean-up costs are recorded when environmental assessments and/or clean-up efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Other than for assessments, the timing and magnitude of these accruals generally are based on the completion of investigations or other studies or a commitment to a formal plan of action. Environmental liabilities are based on best estimates of probable future costs using currently available technology and applying current regulations, as well as our own internal environmental policies. The actual settlement of our liability for environmental matters could materially differ from our estimates due to a number of uncertainties such as the extent of contamination, changes in environmental laws and regulations, potential improvements in remediation technologies and the participation of other responsible parties. While we believe that our current estimates of the amounts and timing of the costs related to the remediation of these liabilities are reasonable, we have had limited experience with certain of these environmental obligations due to our short operating history with certain of our assets. It is possible that our estimates of the costs and duration of the environmental remediation activities related to these liabilities could materially change.

Business Combinations

We use the acquisition method of accounting for the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Any excess consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. As a result, in the case of significant acquisitions, we obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists in estimating fair values of tangible and intangible assets based on available historical information and on expectations and assumptions about the future, considering the perspective of marketplace participants. While management believes those expectations and assumptions are reasonable, they are inherently uncertain. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.

Certain of our acquisitions may include earn-out provisions or other forms of contingent consideration. As of the acquisition date, we record contingent consideration, as applicable, at the estimated fair value of expected future payments associated with the earn-out. Any changes to the recorded fair value of contingent consideration, subsequent to the measurement period, will be recognized as earnings in the period in which it occurs. Such contingent consideration liabilities are based on best estimates of future expected payment obligations, which are subject to change due to many factors outside of our control. Changes to the estimate of expected future contingent consideration payments may occur, from time to time, due to various reasons, including actual results differing from estimates and adjustments to the revenue or earnings assumptions used as the basis for the liability based on historical experience. While we believe that our current estimate of the fair value of our contingent consideration liability is reasonable, it is possible that the actual future settlement of our earn-out obligations could materially differ.

Deferred Turnaround Costs

Refinery turnaround costs, which are incurred in connection with planned major maintenance activities at our refineries, are capitalized when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of time estimated until the next turnaround occurs (generally three to six years). While we believe that the estimates of time until the next turnaround are reasonable, it should be noted that factors such as competition, regulation or environmental matters could cause us to change our estimates thus impacting amortization expense in the future.

Derivative Instruments

We are exposed to market risk, primarily related to changes in commodity prices for the crude oil and feedstocks used in the refining process, as well as the prices of the refined products sold and the risk associated with the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. The accounting treatment for commodity and environmental compliance contracts depends on the intended use of the particular contract and on whether or not the contract meets the definition of a derivative. Non-derivative contracts are recorded at the time of delivery.

All derivative instruments that are not designated as normal purchases or sales are recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that either are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or normal purchase or normal sale accounting are recognized in income. Contracts qualifying for the normal purchases and sales exemption are accounted for upon settlement. We elect fair value hedge accounting for certain derivatives associated with our inventory repurchase obligations.

Derivative accounting is complex and requires management judgment in the following respects: identification of derivatives and embedded derivatives; determination of the fair value of derivatives; identification of hedge relationships; assessment and measurement of hedge ineffectiveness; and election and designation of the normal purchases and sales exception. All of these judgments, depending upon their timing and effect, can have a significant impact on earnings.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. A long-lived asset is not recoverable if its carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If a long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value, with fair value determined based on discounted estimated net cash flows or other appropriate methods.

The global crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on the economy and overall consumer demand for energy and hydrocarbon products. As a result of the significant decrease in PBF Energy’s stock price in 2020, enduring throughput reductions across our refineries and noticeable decrease in demand for our products, we determined that an impairment triggering event had occurred. Therefore, we performed an impairment assessment on certain long-lived assets as of December 31, 2020. As a result of the impairment test, we determined that our long-lived assets were not impaired when comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets over their remaining estimated useful life. If adverse market conditions persist or there is further deterioration in the general economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there could be additional indicators that our assets are impaired requiring evaluation that may result in future impairment charges to earnings.

ITEM 7A. 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.

The negative impact of the unprecedented global health and economic crisis sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with uncertainty around future output levels of the world’s largest oil producers has increased unpredictability in oil supply and demand resulting in an economic challenge to our industry which has not occurred since our formation. This combination has resulted in significant reduction in demand for our refined products and abnormal volatility in oil commodity prices, which may continue for the foreseeable future.

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had gross open commodity derivative contracts representing 10.0 million barrels and 11.3 million barrels, respectively, with an unrealized net loss of $3.0 million and unrealized net gain of $0.2 million, respectively. The open commodity derivative contracts as of December 31, 2020 expire at various times during 2021.

We carry inventories of crude oil, intermediates and refined products (“hydrocarbon inventories”) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, the values of which are subject to fluctuations in market prices. Our hydrocarbon inventories totaled approximately 28.2 million barrels and 30.2 million barrels at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The average cost of our hydrocarbon inventories was approximately $78.64 and $79.63 per barrel on a LIFO basis at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, excluding the impact of LCM inventory adjustments of approximately $669.6 million and $401.6 million, respectively. 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 annually consume a total of between 75 million and 97 million MMBTUs of natural gas amongst our six refineries as of December 31, 2020. 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 $97.0 million.

93

Compliance Program Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to 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 EPA. 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 this risk on our results of operations and cash flows we may purchase RINs or other environmental credits when the price of these instruments is deemed favorable.

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, AB32 in California requires the state to reduce its GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. 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. We generally 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 LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. If this facility was fully drawn, a 1.0% change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $24.9 million annually.

We also have interest rate exposure in connection with our Inventory Intermediation Agreements 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.

Concentration Risk

For the year ended December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of our revenues, (approximately 13%). For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenues.

As of December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of our total trade accounts receivable (approximately 17%) No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted evaluations under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon these evaluations as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), the principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

On February 1, 2020, we completed the Martinez Acquisition. As of December 31, 2020 we were in the process of integrating Martinez Refining’s operations, including internal controls over financial reporting and, therefore, management's evaluation and conclusion as to the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K excludes any evaluation of the internal controls over financial reporting of the Martinez Refining. Martinez Refining accounts for approximately 8% of our total assets and approximately 13% of our total revenues as of the year ended December 31, 2020. During the first quarter of 2021 we completed the integration of Martinez Refining's operations, including internal controls over financial reporting.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on such assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting as permitted by Item 308(b) of Regulation S-K for non-accelerated filers.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

On February 1, 2020, we completed the Martinez Acquisition. As of December 31, 2020 we were in the process of integrating Martinez Refining's operations, including internal controls over financial reporting. There has been no other change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To PBF Energy Inc., the Managing Member of PBF Holding Company LLC

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PBF Holding Company LLC and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), using the modified retrospective approach. Consistent with management’s disclosure in Note 2, the adoption of ASC 842 has a material effect on the financial statements and financial statement disclosures. As of the date of implementation on January 1, 2019, the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet of approximately $853.9 million, of which $604.4 million is attributable to leases with affiliates. As the right of use asset and the lease liabilities were the same upon adoption of ASC 842, there was no cumulative effect on the Company’s retained earnings.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Acquisitions - Martinez Acquisition Valuation and Purchase Price Allocation — Refer to Note 3 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

On February 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of the Martinez refinery for an aggregate purchase price of $1,253.4 million, including working capital and contingent consideration. Management of the Company accounted for the acquisition of the Martinez refinery as a business combination. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The primary asset acquired was property, plant and equipment the valuation of which involved management making significant estimates and assumptions related to discount rate, replacement cost and market value of the acquired property, plant and equipment. Contingent consideration also involved management making significant estimates related to discount rate and projected future cash flows.

We identified the valuation of property, plant and equipment and the valuation of the liability for contingent consideration related to the Martinez refinery as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions made by management. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the involvement of our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s projected future cash flows, the selection of a discount rate and the replacement cost and market value of the acquired property, plant and equipment.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to management’s projected future cash flows, the selection of a discount rate, and the replacement cost and market value of acquired property, plant and equipment for the Martinez refinery included the following, among others:

•We tested the effectiveness of controls over the purchase price allocation, including management’s controls over the assumptions used in the valuation of the property, plant and equipment, including estimating the replacement cost and market value of the acquired property, plant and equipment, determination of the discount rate, and reviewing the work of third-party specialists. We also tested the effectiveness of controls over the contingent consideration valuation, including management’s estimation of future cash flows and determination of the discount rate.

•With the assistance of our fair value specialists;

◦We tested the appropriateness of the valuation methodology

◦We tested the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets and the remaining useful lives used for the cost approach for property, plant and equipment, including comparing such estimates to independent market information to determine reasonableness

◦We tested the underlying source information used for the market approach for land

◦We tested the reasonableness of the discount rate and the underlying source information

F- 3

◦We tested the valuation of the contingent consideration by evaluating the valuation model and assumptions, including an assessment of the probability of achieving projected future cash flows, assessing the mathematical accuracy of the valuation, and performing a sensitivity analysis to ensure reasonableness

Critical Audit Matter Description

Management of the Company prepares and uses projected operational results (“Management’s Projections”) for various accounting analysis and considerations, including the impairment analysis of long-lived assets, the determination of the contingent consideration liability in connection with the Martinez refinery acquisition, and the evaluation of the Company’s future liquidity. The assumptions used in Management’s Projections are subject to substantial uncertainty about the results of the Company’s future business operations. The development of Management’s Projections involves management making significant judgments and assumptions in estimating future cash flows, including assumptions related to future refinery throughput, future gross margin, future operating expenses and future levels of sustaining capital expenditures.

Given that the development of Management’s Projections require management to make significant estimates related to assumptions, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists to evaluate future pricing data assumed in Management’s Projections.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to Management’s Projections included the following, among others:

•We tested the effectiveness of controls over the determination of Management’s Projections, including management’s controls over the determination of future refinery throughput, future gross margin, future operating expenses, and future levels of sustaining capital expenditures.

•We tested the reasonableness of management’s future refinery throughput, future gross margin, future operating expenses and future levels of sustaining capital expenditures by comparing the forecasts to:

◦Historical refinery throughput, operating expenses, and levels of sustaining capital expenditures

◦Analyst EBITDA projections

◦Internal communications to management and the Board of Directors

◦Industry reports for the Company and certain of its peer companies

•With the assistance of our fair value specialists we tested the future pricing used in Management’s Projections in determining future gross margin by agreeing future pricing to independently obtained information.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the Business

PBF Holding Company LLC (“PBF Holding” or the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, owns and operates oil refineries and related facilities in North America. PBF Holding is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”). PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) is the sole managing member of, and owner of an equity interest representing approximately 99.2% of the outstanding economic interest in PBF LLC as of December 31, 2020. PBF Investments LLC, Toledo Refining Company LLC, Paulsboro Refining Company LLC (“PRC”), Delaware City Refining Company LLC (“DCR”), Chalmette Refining, L.L.C. (“Chalmette Refining”), PBF Energy Western Region LLC, Torrance Refining Company LLC, Torrance Logistics Company LLC and Martinez Refining Company LLC are PBF LLC’s principal operating subsidiaries and are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of PBF Holding. Collectively, PBF Holding and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to hereinafter as the “Company”.

On May 14, 2014, PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX”), a Delaware master limited partnership, completed its initial public offering (the “PBFX Offering”). PBF Logistics GP LLC (“PBF GP”) serves as the general partner of PBFX. PBF GP is wholly-owned by PBF LLC. In connection with the PBFX Offering, PBF Holding contributed to PBFX the assets and liabilities of certain crude oil terminaling assets. In a series of additional transactions subsequent to the PBFX Offering, PBF Holding distributed certain additional assets to PBF LLC, which in turn contributed those assets to PBFX (as described in “Note 11 - Related Party Transactions”).

Substantially all of the Company’s operations are in the United States. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and have been aggregated to form one reportable segment. To generate earnings and cash flows from operations, the Company is primarily dependent upon processing crude oil and selling refined petroleum products at margins sufficient to cover fixed and variable costs and other expenses. Crude oil and refined petroleum products are commodities; and factors that are largely out of the Company’s control can cause prices to vary over time. The resulting potential margin volatility can have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, earnings and cash flows.

COVID-19 and Market Developments

The impact of the unprecedented global health and economic crisis sparked by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related adverse impact on economic and commercial activity has resulted in a significant reduction in demand for refined petroleum and petrochemical products. This significant demand reduction has had an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and liquidity position for the year ended December 31, 2020. In response, the Company has reduced throughput rates across its entire refining system and is currently operating all refineries at reduced rates.

It is impossible to estimate the duration or significance of the financial impact that will result from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, particularly within the geographic areas where the Company operates, and the related impact on overall economic activity, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation

These Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PBF Holding and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cost Classifications

Cost of products and other consists of the cost of crude oil, other feedstocks, blendstocks and purchased refined products and the related in-bound freight and transportation costs.

Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) consists of direct costs of labor, maintenance and services, utilities, property taxes, environmental compliance costs and other direct operating costs incurred in connection with our refining operations. Such expenses exclude depreciation related to refining and logistics assets that are integral to the refinery production process, which is presented separately as Depreciation and amortization expense as a component of Cost of sales on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Reclassification

As of December 31, 2020, Financing lease right of use assets - third party, previously included in Deferred charges and other assets, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are reflected within Lease right of use assets - third party, which is inclusive of all third party lease right of use assets. Financing lease liabilities - third party, previously included in Other long-term liabilities, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are presented as separate line items in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The amounts related to such balance sheet accounts have also been reclassified in their respective footnotes for prior periods to conform to the 2020 presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Impairment Assessment

The global crisis resulting from the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a substantial impact on the economy and overall consumer demand for energy and hydrocarbon products. As a result of the enduring throughput reductions across the Company’s refineries and continued decrease in demand for the Company’s products, the Company determined an impairment triggering event had occurred as of December 31, 2020. As such, the Company performed an impairment assessment on its long-lived assets as of December 31, 2020. As a result of the impairment test, the Company concluded that the carrying values of its long-lived assets were not impaired when comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets over their remaining estimated useful life.

In connection with the Company’s ongoing strategic response plan to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and its East Coast Refining Reconfiguration (as defined in “Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment, net”), it recorded an impairment charge of approximately $91.8 million associated to the write-down of certain assets and project abandonments. Refer to “Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment, net” for further details.

If adverse market conditions persist or there is further deterioration in the general economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there could be additional indicators that the Company’s assets are impaired requiring evaluation that may result in future impairment charges to earnings.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Business Combinations

We use the acquisition method of accounting for the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Any excess consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. As a result, in the case of significant acquisitions, we obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists in estimating fair values of tangible and intangible assets based on available historical information and on expectations and assumptions about the future, considering the perspective of marketplace participants. While management believes those expectations and assumptions are reasonable, they are inherently uncertain. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.

Certain of the Company’s acquisitions may include earn-out provisions or other forms of contingent consideration. As of the acquisition date, the Company records contingent consideration, as applicable, at the estimated fair value of expected future payments associated with the earn-out. Any changes to the recorded fair value of contingent consideration, subsequent to the measurement period, will be recognized as earnings in the period in which it occurs.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of the cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of those instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

For the year ended December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues (approximately 13%). For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 no single customer amounted to greater than or equal to 10% of the Company’s revenues.

As of December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable (approximately 17%). No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019.

Revenue, Deferred Revenue and Accounts Receivable

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The Company sells various refined products primarily through its refinery subsidiaries and recognizes revenue related to the sale of products when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Refer to “Note 17 - Revenues” for further discussion of the Company’s revenue recognition policy, including deferred revenues and the practical expedients elected as part of the transition to ASC 606.

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During 2019, PBF Holding and its subsidiaries, DCR and PRC, entered into amendments to the existing inventory intermediation agreements (as amended in the first quarter of 2019 and amended and restated in the third quarter of 2019, the “Inventory Intermediation Agreements”) with J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“J. Aron”), pursuant to which certain terms of the existing inventory intermediation agreements were amended, including, among other things, the maturity date. On March 29, 2019 the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR was amended to add the PBFX assets acquired from Crown Point International, LLC in October 2018 (the “East Coast Storage Assets”) as a location and crude oil as a new product type to be included in the J. Aron Products (as defined in “Note 5 - Inventories”) sold to J. Aron by DCR. On August 29, 2019 the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and PRC was extended to December 31, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2022 and the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR was extended to June 30, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to June 30, 2022.

Pursuant to each Inventory Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron purchases and holds title to the J. Aron Products produced by the refinery and delivered into the J. Aron Storage Tanks (as defined in “Note 5 - Inventories”). The J. Aron Products are sold back to the Company as the J. Aron Products are discharged out of the J. Aron Storage Tanks. These purchases and sales are settled monthly at the daily 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 East Coast refineries to J. Aron. Additionally, J. Aron has the right to store the J. Aron Products purchased in J. Aron Storage Tanks under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements and will retain these storage rights for the term of the agreements. PBF Holding continues to market and sell the J. Aron Products independently to third parties.

Accounts receivable are carried at invoiced amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established, if required, to report such amounts at their estimated net realizable value. In estimating probable losses, management reviews accounts that are past due and determines if there are any known disputes. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Excise taxes on sales of refined products that are collected from customers and remitted to various governmental agencies are reported on a net basis.

Inventory

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of crude oil, feedstocks, blendstocks and refined products are determined under the last-in first-out (“LIFO”) method using the dollar value LIFO method with increments valued based on average purchase prices during the year. The cost of supplies and other inventories is determined principally on the weighted average cost method.

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), using the modified retrospective approach. As of the date of implementation on January 1, 2019, the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets of approximately $853.9 million of which $604.4 million is attributable to leases with affiliates.

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company leases office space, office equipment, refinery facilities and equipment, railcars and other logistics assets primarily under non-cancelable operating leases, with terms typically ranging from one to twenty years, subject to certain renewal options as applicable. The Company considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Interest expense for finance leases is incurred based on the carrying value of the lease liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

For substantially all classes of underlying assets, the Company has elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components, which allows for combining the components if certain criteria are met. For certain leases of refinery support facilities, the Company accounts for the non-lease service component separately.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment additions are recorded at cost. The Company capitalizes costs associated with the preliminary, pre-acquisition and development/construction stages of a major construction project. The Company capitalizes the interest cost associated with major construction projects based on the effective interest rate of total borrowings. The Company also capitalizes costs incurred in the acquisition and development of software for internal use, including the costs of software, materials, consultants and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in the application development stage.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Process units and equipment	5-25 years
Pipeline and equipment	5-25 years
Buildings	25 years
Computers, furniture and fixtures	3-7 years
Leasehold improvements	20 years
Railcars	50 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred. Improvements and betterments, which extend the lives of the assets, are capitalized.

Deferred Charges and Other Assets, Net

Deferred charges and other assets include refinery turnaround costs, catalyst, precious metal catalysts, linefill, deferred financing costs and intangible assets. Refinery turnaround costs, which are incurred in connection with planned major maintenance activities, are capitalized when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of time estimated to lapse until the next turnaround occurs. The amortization period generally ranges from 3 to 6 years; however, based upon the specific facts and circumstances, different periods of deferral occur.

As a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration (as defined in “Note - 6 Property, Plant and Equipment, net), certain major processing units were temporarily idled. As such, the Company accelerated the recognition of approximately $56.2 million of unamortized deferred turnaround costs associated with these idled units.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Precious metal catalysts, linefill and certain other intangibles are considered indefinite-lived assets as they are not expected to deteriorate in their prescribed functions. Such assets are assessed for impairment in connection with the Company’s review of its long-lived assets.

Deferred financing costs are capitalized when incurred and amortized over the life of the loan (generally 1 to 8 years).

Intangible assets with finite lives primarily consist of emission credits and permits and are amortized over their estimated useful lives (generally 1 to 10 years).

Long-Lived Assets and Definite-Lived Intangibles

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment is evaluated by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets and their ultimate disposition. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of the long-lived assets is not considered to be recoverable, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value.

Impairment assessments inherently involve judgment as to assumptions about expected future cash flows and the impact of market conditions on those assumptions. Although management utilizes assumptions that it believes are reasonable, future events and changing market conditions may impact management’s assumptions, which could produce different results.

Investments in Equity Method Investments

For equity investments that are not required to be consolidated under the variable or voting interest model, the Company evaluates the level of influence it is able to exercise over an entity’s operations to determine whether to use the equity method of accounting. The Company’s judgment regarding the level of control over an equity method investment includes considering key factors such as its ownership interest, participation in policy-making and other significant decisions and material intercompany transactions. Amounts recognized for equity method investments are included in equity method investments in the consolidated balance sheet and adjusted for the Company’s share of the net earnings and losses of the investee and cash distributions, which are included in the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows. Amounts recognized for earnings in excess of distributions of the Company’s equity method investments are included in the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. A loss is recorded in earnings in the current period to write down the carrying value of the investment to fair value if a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company records an asset retirement obligation at fair value for the estimated cost to retire a tangible long-lived asset at the time the Company incurs that liability, which is generally when the asset is purchased, constructed, or leased. The Company records the liability when it has a legal or contractual obligation to incur costs to retire the asset and when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability can be made. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made at the time the liability is incurred, the Company will record the liability when sufficient information is available to estimate the liability’s fair value. Certain of the Company’s asset retirement obligations are based on its legal obligation to perform remedial activity at its refinery sites when it permanently ceases operations of the long-lived assets. The Company therefore considers the settlement date of these obligations to be indeterminable. Accordingly, the Company cannot calculate an associated asset retirement liability for these obligations at this time. The Company will measure and recognize the fair value of these asset retirement obligations when the settlement date is determinable.

Environmental Matters

Liabilities for future remediation costs are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Other than for assessments, the timing and magnitude of these accruals generally are based on the completion of investigations or other studies or a commitment to a formal plan of action. Environmental liabilities are based on best estimates of probable future costs using currently available technology and applying current regulations, as well as the Company’s own internal environmental policies. The measurement of environmental remediation liabilities may be discounted to reflect the time value of money if the aggregate amount and timing of cash payments of the liabilities are fixed or reliably determinable. The actual settlement of the Company’s liability for environmental matters could materially differ from its estimates due to a number of uncertainties such as the extent of contamination, changes in environmental laws and regulations, potential improvements in remediation technologies and the participation of other responsible parties.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation includes the accounting effect of options to purchase PBF Energy Class A common stock granted by PBF Energy to certain PBF Holding employees, Series A warrants issued or granted by PBF LLC to employees in connection with their acquisition of PBF LLC Series A units, options to acquire Series A units of PBF LLC granted by PBF LLC to certain employees, Series B units of PBF LLC that were granted to certain members of management and restricted PBF LLC Series A Units and restricted PBF Energy Class A common stock granted to certain directors and officers. The estimated fair value of the options to purchase PBF Energy Class A common stock and the PBF LLC Series A warrants and options, is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of the PBF LLC Series B units is estimated based on a Monte Carlo simulation model. The estimated fair value is amortized as stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line method over the vesting period and included in General and administrative expense with forfeitures recognized in the period they occur.

PBF Energy grants performance share unit awards and performance unit awards to certain key employees. Performance awards granted to employees prior to November 1, 2020 are based on a three-year performance cycle with four measurement periods and performance awards granted to employees after November 1, 2020 are based on a three-year performance cycle having a single measurement period. The payout for each, which ranges from 0% to 200%, is based on the relative ranking of the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of PBF Energy’s common stock as compared to the TSR of a selected group of industry peer companies over an average of four measurement periods. The performance share unit awards and performance unit awards are each measured at fair value based on Monte Carlo simulation models. The performance share unit awards will be settled in PBF Energy Class A common stock and are accounted for as equity awards and the performance unit awards will be settled in cash and are accounted for as liability awards.

Income Taxes

As PBF Holding is a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, there is no benefit or expense for federal or state income tax in the accompanying financial statements apart from the income taxes attributable to two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the acquisition of Chalmette Refining and the Company’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, PBF Energy Limited (“PBF Ltd.”). These subsidiaries are treated as C-corporations for tax purposes.

The State tax returns for all years since 2015 are subject to examination by the respective tax authorities.

Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits

The Company recognizes an asset for the overfunded status or a liability for the underfunded status of its pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The funded status is recorded within Other long-term liabilities or assets. Changes in the plans’ funded status are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period the change occurs.

Fair Value Measurement

A fair value hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3) is used to categorize fair value amounts based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. Accordingly, fair values derived from Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values derived from Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair values of its applicable assets and liabilities. When available, the Company measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. In some valuations, the inputs may fall into different levels in the hierarchy. In these cases, the asset or liability level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined based on the Company’s assessment of available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The Company’s non-derivative financial instruments that are included in current assets and current liabilities are recorded at cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s commodity contracts are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 1 inputs based on quoted prices in an active market, Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices for similar instruments, or Level 3 inputs based on third-party sources and other available market based data. The Company’s catalyst obligations and derivatives related to the Company’s crude oil and feedstocks and refined product purchase obligations are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs on a recurring basis, based on observable market prices for similar instruments.

Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to market risk, primarily related to changes in commodity prices for the crude oil and feedstocks used in the refining process as well as the prices of the refined products sold and the risk associated with the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. The accounting treatment for commodity and environmental compliance contracts depends on the intended use of the particular contract and on whether or not the contract meets the definition of a derivative.

All derivative instruments, not designated as normal purchases or sales, are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that either are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or normal purchase or normal sale accounting are recognized currently in earnings. Contracts qualifying for the normal purchase and sales exemption are accounted for upon settlement. Cash flows related to derivative instruments that are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are included in operating activities.

F- 18

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company designates certain derivative instruments as fair value hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability. At the inception of the hedge designation, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Derivative gains and losses related to these fair value hedges, including hedge ineffectiveness, are recorded in cost of sales along with the change in fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk. Cash flows related to derivative instruments that are designated as fair value hedges are included in operating activities.

Economic hedges are hedges not designated as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes that are used to (i) manage price volatility in certain refinery feedstock and refined product inventories, and (ii) manage price volatility in certain forecasted refinery feedstock purchases and refined product sales. These instruments are recorded at fair value and changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized currently in cost of sales.

Derivative accounting is complex and requires management judgment in the following respects: identification of derivatives and embedded derivatives, determination of the fair value of derivatives, documentation of hedge relationships, assessment and measurement of hedge ineffectiveness and election and designation of the normal purchases and sales exception. All of these judgments, depending upon their timing and effect, can have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Martinez Acquisition

On February 1, 2020, the Company acquired from Equilon Enterprises LLC d/b/a Shell Oil Products US (the "Seller"), the Martinez refinery and related logistics assets (collectively, the "Martinez Acquisition"), pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated June 11, 2019 (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”). The Martinez refinery, located in Martinez, California, is a high-conversion, dual-coking facility that is strategically positioned in Northern California and provides for operating and commercial synergies with the Torrance refinery located in Southern California.

In addition to refining assets, the Martinez Acquisition includes a number of onsite logistics assets, including a deep-water marine facility, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities.

The aggregate purchase price for the Martinez Acquisition was $1,253.4 million, including final working capital of $216.1 million and the Martinez Contingent Consideration, as defined below. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand, including proceeds from the 2028 Senior Notes (as defined in “Note 9 - Credit Facilities and Debt”), and borrowings under PBF Holding’s asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

The Company accounted for the Martinez Acquisition as a business combination under GAAP whereby it recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The final purchase price and fair value allocation were completed as of September 30, 2020.

The total purchase consideration and the fair values of the assets and liabilities at the acquisition date were as follows:

(in millions)	Purchase Price
Gross purchase price	$	960.0
Working capital, including post close adjustments	216.1
Contingent consideration (a)	77.3
Total consideration	$	1,253.4

4. 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. Following the widespread market disruption that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental responses, the Company has been performing ongoing credit reviews of its customers including monitoring for any negative credit events such as customer bankruptcy or insolvency events. As a result, the Company has adjusted payment terms or limited available trade credit for certain customers, as well as for customers within industries that are deemed to be at higher risk.

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 December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Inventory under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements includes crude oil, intermediate and certain finished products (the “J. Aron Products”) purchased or produced by the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries and sold to counterparties in connection with such agreements. This inventory is held in the Company’s storage tanks at the Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries and at PBFX’s East Coast Storage Assets, (collectively the “J. Aron Storage Tanks”).

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which decreased income from operations by $268.0 million, reflecting the net change in the lower of cost or market (“LCM”) inventory reserve from $401.6 million at December 31, 2019 to $669.6 million at December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which increased income from operations by $250.2 million, reflecting the net change in the LCM inventory reserve from $651.8 million at December 31, 2018 to $401.6 million at December 31, 2019.

An actual valuation of inventories valued under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on inventory levels and costs at that time. The Company recorded a charge related to a LIFO layer decrement of $83.0 million and $4.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The majority of the decrement recorded in 2020 related to the Company’s East Coast LIFO inventory layer and the reduction in the Company’s East Coast inventory experienced as part of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration (as defined in “Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment, net”).

East Coast Refining Reconfiguration

On December 31, 2020, the Company reconfigured the Delaware and Paulsboro refineries (the “East Coast Refining Reconfiguration”) temporarily idling certain of its major processing units at the Paulsboro refinery, in order to operate the two refineries as one functional unit referred to as the “East Coast Refining System”. The reconfiguration process resulted in lower overall throughput and inventory levels in addition to decreases in capital and operating costs. The Company abandoned certain projects related to assets under construction related to these idled assets, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $11.9 million and a corresponding decrease to its construction in progress account in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Capital Project Abandonments

In connection with the Company’s ongoing strategic response plan to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and its East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, it assessed its refinery wide slate of capital projects that were either in process or not yet placed into service as of December 31, 2020. Based on this assessment and the Company’s strategic plan to reduce capital expenditures, it decided to abandon various capital projects across the refinery system, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $79.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Sale of Hydrogen Plants

On April 17, 2020, the Company closed on the sale of five hydrogen plants to Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (“Air Products”) in a sale-leaseback transaction for gross cash proceeds of $530.0 million and recognized a gain of $471.1 million. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a transition services agreement which was followed by the execution of long-term supply agreements in August 2020. Refer to “Note 13 - Leases” for further information.

Torrance Land Sales

On December 30, 2020, August 1, 2019 and August 7, 2018, the Company closed on third-party sales of parcels of real property acquired as part of the Torrance refinery, but not part of the refinery itself. The sales resulted in a gain of approximately $8.1 million, $33.1 million and $43.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, third quarter of 2019 and third quarter of 2018, respectively, included within (Gain) loss on sale of assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company has the obligation to repurchase the J. Aron Products that are held in its J. Aron Storage Tanks in accordance with the Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a liability is recognized for the Inventory Intermediation Agreements and is recorded at market price for the J. Aron owned inventory held in the Company’s J. Aron Storage Tanks under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements, with any change in the market price being recorded in Cost of products and other.

The Company is subject to obligations to purchase Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) required to comply with the Renewable Fuels Standard. The Company’s overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by the United States 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 (“AB32”), 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.

2025 Senior Secured Notes

On May 13, 2020, PBF Holding entered into an indenture among PBF Holding and PBF Holding’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Finance Corporation (“PBF Finance” and together with PBF Holding, the “Issuers”), the guarantors named therein (collectively the “Guarantors”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent, Authenticating Agent and Notes Collateral Agent, under which the Issuers issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes”). The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $982.9 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses.

On December 21, 2020 PBF Holding issued an additional $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of tack on 9.25% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes”). The additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes were issued at an offering price of 100.25% plus accrued and unpaid interest from and including, November 15, 2020. The additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes were issued under the indenture governing the initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes and, together with the additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes, the (“2025 Senior Secured Notes”). The additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes are treated as a single series with the initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes and have the same terms except that a portion of the additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes were issued initially under a new temporary CUSIP number to be used during the 40-day distribution compliance period. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $245.7 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses.

The 2025 Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by substantially all of PBF Holding’s subsidiaries. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and guarantees are senior obligations and secured, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, on a first-priority basis, by substantially all of PBF Holding's and the guarantors’ present and future assets (other than assets securing the Revolving Credit Facility), which may also constitute collateral securing certain hedging obligations and any existing or future indebtedness that is permitted to be secured on a pari passu basis with the 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and guarantees are senior secured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the 6.00% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”) and the 7.25% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and guarantees rank effectively senior to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is not secured by the collateral (including the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Revolving Credit Facility, the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes), subject to permitted liens on such collateral and certain other exceptions, and senior in right of payment to the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment thereto. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing or future secured indebtedness that is secured by liens on assets owned by the Company that do not constitute part of the collateral securing the 2025 Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees (including the assets securing the Revolving Credit Facility) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuers’ non-guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, the 2025 Senior Secured Notes contain customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities. These covenants include limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, equity issuances, and payments. Many of these covenants will cease to apply or will be modified if the 2025 Senior Secured Notes are rated investment grade.

At any time prior to May 15, 2022, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes in an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 109.250% of the principal amount of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. On or after May 15, 2022, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes, in each case at the redemption prices described in the indenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. In addition, prior to May 15, 2022, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes at a “make-whole” redemption price described in the indenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

In addition, the Issuers may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes using net proceeds of any loan received pursuant to a Regulatory Debt Facility (as defined in the indenture) at a redemption price equal to 104.625% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date as long as any such redemption occurs on or prior to 120 days after receipt of such net proceeds.

2028 Senior Notes

On January 24, 2020, PBF Holding entered into an indenture among the Issuers, the Guarantors, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent and Authenticating Agent, under which the Issuers issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 6.00% 2028 Senior Notes. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $987.0 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. The Company primarily used the net proceeds to fully redeem the 7.00% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”), including accrued and unpaid interest, on February 14, 2020, and to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Martinez Acquisition. The difference between the carrying value of the 2023 Senior Notes on the date they were reacquired and the amount for which they were reacquired has been classified as Debt extinguishment costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The 2028 Senior Notes included a registration rights arrangement whereby the Issuer and the Guarantors agreed to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate an offer to exchange the 2028 Senior Notes for an issue of registered notes with terms substantially identical to the notes not later than 365 days after the date of the original issuance of the notes. This registration statement was declared effective on October 14, 2020 and the exchange was consummated during the fourth quarter of 2020. As such, the Company did not have to transfer any consideration as a result of the registration rights agreement and thus no loss contingency was recorded.

On or after February 15, 2023, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the 2028 Senior Notes, in each case at the redemption prices described in the indenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. In addition, prior to February 15, 2023, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the 2028 Senior Notes at a “make-whole” redemption price described in the indenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption.

2025 Senior Notes

On May 30, 2017, PBF Holding entered into an indenture among Issuers, the Guarantors, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent and Authenticating Agent, under which the Issuers issued $725.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% 2025 Senior Notes. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $711.6 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses, all of which was used to fund the cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its outstanding 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Senior Secured Notes”), to pay the related redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest for any 2020 Senior Secured Notes which remained outstanding after the completion of the Tender Offer, and for general corporate purposes.

The 2025 Senior Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of PBF Holding’s subsidiaries. The 2025 Senior Notes and guarantees are senior unsecured obligations which rank equal in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Secured Notes.

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PBF Holding has optional redemption rights to repurchase all or a portion of the 2025 Senior Notes at varying prices which are no less than 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the 2025 Senior Notes have repurchase options exercisable only upon a change in control, certain asset sale transactions, or in event of a default as defined in the indenture. In addition, the 2025 Senior Notes contain customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities that limit certain types of additional debt, equity issuances, and payments. Many of these covenants will cease to apply or will be modified if the 2025 Senior Notes are rated investment grade.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 2, 2018, PBF Holding and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as borrowers or subsidiary guarantors, replaced the existing asset-based revolving credit agreement dated as of August 15, 2014 with the new Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maximum commitment of $3.4 billion, a maturity date of May 2023 and redefines certain components of the Borrowing Base, as defined in the agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), to make more funding available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes. An accordion feature allows for commitments of up to $3.5 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at the Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin (all as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). The Applicable Margin ranges from 0.25% to 1.00% for Alternative Base Rate Loans and from 1.25% to 2.00% for Adjusted LIBOR Loans, in each case depending on the Company’s corporate credit rating. In addition, the LC Participation Fee ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% depending on the Company’s corporate credit rating and the Fronting Fee is capped at 0.25%.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and restrictions on the activities of PBF Holding and its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, limitations on incurring additional indebtedness, liens, negative pledges, guarantees, investments, loans, asset sales, mergers and acquisitions, prepayment of other debt, distributions, dividends and the repurchase of capital stock, transactions with affiliates and the ability of PBF Holding to change the nature of its business or its fiscal year; all as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement has a financial covenant which requires that if at any time Excess Availability, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of the then existing Borrowing Base and the then aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders (the “Financial Covenant Testing Amount”), and (ii) $100.0 million, and until such time as Excess Availability is greater than the Financial Covenant Testing Amount and $100.0 million for a period of 12 or more consecutive days, PBF Holding will not permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement and determined as of the last day of the most recently completed quarter, to be less than 1 to 1.

PBF Holding’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are (a) guaranteed by each of its domestic operating subsidiaries that are not Excluded Subsidiaries (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) and (b) secured by a lien on (i) PBF LLC’s equity interest in PBF Holding and (ii) certain assets of PBF Holding and the subsidiary guarantors, including all deposit accounts (other than zero balance accounts, cash collateral accounts, trust accounts and/or payroll accounts, all of which are excluded from the definition of collateral), all accounts receivable, all hydrocarbon inventory (other than the J. Aron Products owned by J. Aron pursuant to the Inventory Intermediation Agreements) and to the extent evidencing, governing, securing or otherwise related to the foregoing, all general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, letter of credit rights and supporting obligations; and all products and proceeds of the foregoing.

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On February 18, 2020, in connection with its entry into a $300.0 million uncommitted receivables purchase facility (the “Receivables Facility”), the Company amended the Revolving Credit Agreement and entered into a related intercreditor agreement to allow it to sell certain Eligible Receivables (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) derived from the sale of refined product over truck racks. Under the Receivables Facility, the Company sells such receivables to a bank subject to bank approval and certain conditions. The sales of receivables under the Receivables Facility are absolute and irrevocable but subject to certain repurchase obligations under certain circumstances.

On May 7, 2020, the Company further amended the Revolving Credit Facility, to increase PBF Holding’s ability to incur certain secured debt from an amount equal to 10% of its total assets to 20% of its total assets.

During 2020 the Company used advances under the Revolving Credit Facility to fund the Martinez Acquisition and other capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020 were $900.0 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2019. Issued letters of credit were $184.4 million and $221.4 million, as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

PBF Rail Term Loan

On December 22, 2016, PBF Rail Logistics Company LLC (“PBF Rail”) entered into a $35.0 million term loan (the “PBF Rail Term Loan”). The PBF Rail Term Loan amortizes monthly over its five year term and bears interest at a rate equal to one month LIBOR plus the margin as defined in the agreement governing the PBF Rail Term Loan (the “Rail Credit Agreement”). As security for the PBF Rail Term Loan, PBF Rail pledged, among other things: (i) certain Eligible Railcars; (ii) the Debt Service Reserve Account (as defined in the Rail Credit Agreement); and (iii) PBF Holding’s membership interest in PBF Rail. Additionally, the Rail Credit Agreement contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for transactions of this nature. PBF Rail may at any time repay the PBF Rail Term Loan without penalty in the event that railcars securing the loan are sold, scrapped or otherwise removed from the collateral pool.

The outstanding balances under the PBF Rail Term Loan were $7.4 million and $14.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As the PBF Rail Term Loan expires in December 2021, the outstanding balance as of December 31, 2020 is reflected as Current debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Precious Metal Catalyst Financing Arrangements

Certain subsidiaries of the Company have entered into agreements whereby such subsidiary sold a portion of its precious metal catalysts to a major commercial bank and subsequently refinanced the precious metal catalysts under contractual arrangements. The volume of the precious metal catalysts and the interest rate are fixed over the term of each financing arrangement. At maturity, the Company must repurchase the applicable precious metal catalysts, or otherwise settle its obligation with the counterparty, at its then fair market value. The Company believes that there is a substantial market for precious metal catalysts and that it will be able to release such catalysts at maturity. The Company treated these transactions as financing arrangements, and the related payments are recorded as interest expense over the agreements’ terms. 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 value of the underlying precious metal catalysts. The fair value of these repurchase obligations as reflected in the fair value of long-term debt outstanding table below is measured using Level 2 inputs.

Commercial Agreements with PBFX

PBF Holding has entered into long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with PBFX relating to assets associated with the Contribution Agreements described above, the majority of which include a minimum volume commitment (“MVC”) and are supported by contractual fee escalations for inflation adjustments and certain increases in operating costs. Under these agreements, PBFX provides various pipeline, rail and truck terminaling and storage services to PBF Holding and PBF Holding has committed to provide PBFX with minimum fees based on minimum monthly throughput volumes. PBF Holding believes the terms and conditions under these agreements, as well as the Omnibus Agreement (as defined below) and the Services Agreement (as defined below) each with PBFX, are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services.

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, 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.

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 substantial 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 totaling $113.7 million as of December 31, 2020 ($121.3 million as of December 31, 2019), related to certain environmental remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and monitoring activities and other clean-up activities, which reflects the current estimated cost of the remediation obligations. 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 Company expects to make aggregate payments for this liability of approximately $52.7 million over the next five years.

The aggregate environmental liability reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets was $151.9 million and $132.2 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, of which $140.5 million and $119.9 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.

Applicable Federal and State Regulatory Requirements

The Company’s operations and many of the products it manufactures are subject to certain specific requirements of the Clean Air Act (the “CAA”) and related state and local regulations. The CAA contains provisions that require capital expenditures for the installation of certain air pollution control devices at the Company’s refineries. Subsequent rule making authorized by the CAA or similar laws or new agency interpretations of existing rules, may necessitate additional expenditures in future years.

In 2010, New York State adopted a Low-Sulfur Heating Oil mandate that, beginning July 1, 2012, requires all heating oil sold in New York State to contain no more than 15 parts per million (“PPM”) sulfur. Since July 1, 2012, other states in the Northeast market began requiring heating oil sold in their state to contain no more than 15 PPM sulfur. Currently, all of the Northeastern states and Washington DC have adopted sulfur controls on heating oil. Most of the Northeastern states require heating oil with 15 PPM or less sulfur. The mandate and other requirements are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

EPA issued the final Tier 3 Gasoline standards on March 3, 2014 under the CAA. This final rule establishes more stringent vehicle emission standards and further reduces the sulfur content of gasoline starting in January 2017. The new standard is set at 10 PPM sulfur in gasoline on an annual average basis starting January 1, 2017, with a credit trading program to provide compliance flexibility. EPA responded to industry comments on the proposed rule and maintained the per gallon sulfur cap on gasoline at the existing 80 PPM cap. The refineries are complying with these new requirements as planned, either directly or using flexibility provided by sulfur credits generated or purchased in advance as an economic optimization. The standards set by the new rule are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is required to comply with the renewable fuel standard implemented by EPA, which sets annual quotas for the quantity of renewable fuels (such as ethanol) that must be blended into motor fuels consumed in the United States (the “Renewable Fuel Standard”). In July 2018, EPA issued proposed amendments to the Renewable Fuel Standard program regulations that would establish annual percentage standards for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and renewable fuels that would apply to all gasoline and diesel produced in the U.S. or imported in the year 2019. In addition, the separate proposal includes a proposed biomass-based diesel applicable volume for 2020. It is likely that RIN production will continue to be lower than needed forcing obligated parties, such as the Company, to purchase cellulosic waiver credits or purchase excess RINs from suppliers on the open market.

EPA published a Final Rule to the Clean Water Act Section 316(b) in August 2014 regarding cooling water intake structures, which includes requirements for petroleum refineries. The purpose of this rule is to prevent fish from being trapped against cooling water intake screens (impingement) and to prevent fish from being drawn through cooling water systems (entrainment). Facilities will be required to implement best technology available as soon as possible, but state agencies have the discretion to establish implementation time lines. The Company has evaluated, and continues to evaluate, the impact of this regulation, and at this time does not expect this regulation to materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is subject to greenhouse gas emission control regulations in the state of California pursuant to AB32. AB32 imposes a statewide cap on greenhouse gas emissions, including emissions from transportation fuels, with the aim of returning the state to 1990 emission levels by 2020. AB32 is implemented through two market mechanisms including the Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Cap and Trade. The Company is responsible for the AB32 obligations related to the Torrance refinery beginning on July 1, 2016 and the Martinez refinery beginning on February 1, 2020 and must purchase emission credits to comply with these obligations. Additionally, in September 2016, the state of California enacted Senate Bill 32 (“SB32”) which further reduces greenhouse gas emissions targets to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. California Air Resources Board also amended the LCFS in 2018 to require a 20% reduction by 2030.

The Company recovers the majority of these costs from its customers, and does not expect these obligations to materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. To the degree there are unfavorable changes to AB32 or SB32 regulations or the Company is unable to recover such compliance costs from customers, these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company is subject to obligations to purchase RINs. On February 15, 2017, the Company received a notification that EPA records indicated that PBF Holding used potentially invalid RINs that were in fact verified under EPA’s RIN Quality Assurance Program (“QAP”) by an independent auditor as QAP A RINs. Under the regulations, use of potentially invalid QAP A RINs provided the user with an affirmative defense from civil penalties provided certain conditions are met. The Company has asserted the affirmative defense and if accepted by EPA will not be required to replace these RINs and will not be subject to civil penalties under the program. It is reasonably possible that EPA will not accept the Company’s defense and may assess penalties in these matters but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of January 1, 2011, the Company is required to comply with EPA’s Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants From Mobile Sources, or MSAT2, regulations on gasoline that impose reductions in the benzene content of its produced gasoline. The Company purchases benzene credits to meet these requirements when necessary. The Company may implement capital projects to reduce the amount of benzene credits that the Company needs to purchase. In additions, the Renewable Fuel Standards mandate the blending of prescribed percentages of renewable fuels (e.g., ethanol and biofuels) into the Company’s produced gasoline and diesel. These requirements, other requirements of the CAA and other presently existing or future environmental regulations may cause the Company to make substantial capital expenditures as well as the purchase of credits at significant cost, to enable its refineries to produce products that meet applicable requirements.

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 the Company’s sites are subject to these laws and the Company 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 the Company’s current normal operations, it has 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.

The Company is also currently subject to certain other existing environmental claims and proceedings. The Company believes that there is only a remote possibility that future costs related to any of these other known contingent liability exposures would have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the Martinez Acquisition, the Sale and Purchase Agreement 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 the future earnings of 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 Company recorded the acquisition date fair value of the earn-out provision as contingent consideration of $77.3 million within “Other long-term liabilities” within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was no balance under the Martinez Contingent Consideration as of December 31, 2020, representing no anticipated future earn-out payments.

Tax Receivable Agreement

PBF Energy (the Company’s indirect parent) 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 or PBF Holding. 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 December 31, 2020 (99.0% as of December 31, 2019). 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. No liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement was recognized by PBF Energy as of December 31, 2020.

13. LEASES

The Company leases office space, office equipment, refinery support facilities and equipment, railcars and other logistics assets primarily under non-cancelable operating leases, with terms typically ranging from one to twenty years, subject to certain renewal options as applicable. The Company considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Interest expense for finance leases is incurred based on the carrying value of the lease liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

For substantially all classes of underlying assets, the Company has elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components, which allows for combining the components if certain criteria are met. For certain leases of refinery support facilities, the Company accounts for the non-lease service component separately. There are no material residual value guarantees associated with any of the Company’s leases. There are no significant restrictions or covenants included in the Company’s lease agreements other than those that are customary in such arrangements. Certain of the Company’s leases, primarily for the Company’s commercial and logistics asset classes, include provisions for variable payments. These variable payments are typically determined based on a measure of throughput or actual days the asset has operated during the contract term or another measure of usage and are not included in the initial measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

Sale-leaseback Transactions

On April 17, 2020, the Company closed on the sale of five hydrogen plants to Air Products in a sale-leaseback transaction for gross cash proceeds of $530.0 million and recognized a gain of $471.1 million. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a transition services agreement through which Air Products will exclusively supply hydrogen, steam, carbon dioxide and other products (the “Products”) to the Martinez, Torrance and Delaware City refineries for a specified period (not expected to exceed 18 months). The transition services agreement also requires certain maintenance and operating activities to be provided by PBF Holding, for which the Company will be reimbursed, during the term of the agreement. In August 2020, the parties executed long-term supply agreements through which Air Products will supply the Products for a term of fifteen years at these same refineries. As a result of these transactions, the Company recorded lease right of use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities of approximately $504.0 million. There were no net gains or losses on any sale-leaseback transactions for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company has entered into certain leases that have not yet commenced. Such leases include a 15-year lease for water treatment equipment, with future lease payments estimated to total approximately $34.1 million, and is not expected to commence prior to April 1, 2021. No other such pending leases, either individually or in the aggregate, are material. There are no material lease arrangements in which the Company is the lessor.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into certain affiliate lease arrangements with PBFX for the use of certain storage, terminaling and pipeline assets. The Company believes the terms and conditions under these leases are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. The terms for these affiliate leases generally range from seven to fifteen years.

will be entitled to receive pro rata remaining assets available for distribution. Holders of shares of Class A common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.

PBF Energy Class B Common Stock

Holders of shares of Class B common stock are entitled, without regard to the number of shares of Class B common stock held by such holder, to one vote for each PBF LLC Series A Unit beneficially owned by such holder. Accordingly, the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy collectively have a number of votes in PBF Energy that is equal to the aggregate number of PBF LLC Series A Units that they hold.

Holders of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Holders of Class B common stock do not have any right to receive dividends or to receive a distribution upon a liquidation or winding up of PBF Energy.

PBF Energy Preferred Stock

Authorized preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, with designations, powers and preferences as shall be designated by the Board of Directors.

PBF LLC Capital Structure

PBF LLC Series A Units

The allocation of profits and losses and distributions to PBF LLC Series A unitholders is governed by the limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC. These allocations are made on a pro rata basis with PBF LLC Series C Units. PBF LLC Series A unitholders do not have voting rights.

PBF LLC Series B Units

The PBF LLC Series B Units are intended to be “profit interests” within the meaning of Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43 of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and have a stated value of zero at issuance. The PBF LLC Series B Units are held by certain of the Company’s current and former officers, have no voting rights and are designed to increase in value only after the Company’s financial sponsors achieve certain levels of return on their investment in PBF LLC Series A Units. Accordingly, the amounts paid to the holders of PBF LLC Series B Units, if any, will reduce only the amounts otherwise payable to the PBF LLC Series A Units held by the Company’s financial sponsors, and will not reduce or otherwise impact any amounts payable to PBF Energy (the holder of PBF LLC Series C Units), the holders of PBF Energy’s Class A common stock or any other holder of PBF LLC Series A Units. The maximum number of PBF LLC Series B Units authorized to be issued is 1,000,000.

PBF LLC Series C Units

The PBF LLC Series C Units rank on a parity with the PBF LLC Series A Units as to distribution rights, voting rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. PBF LLC Series C Units are held solely by PBF Energy.

Noncontrolling Interest

Subsequent to the Chalmette Acquisition, PBF Holding recorded noncontrolling interests in two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining. PBF Holding, through Chalmette Refining, owns an 80% ownership interest in both Collins Pipeline Company and T&M Terminal Company. In both of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Company recorded earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest in these subsidiaries of less than $0.3 million.

PBF Energy options

PBF Energy grants stock options which represent the right to purchase share of PBF Energy’s common stock at its fair market value, which is the closing price of PBF Energy’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock options have a maximum term of ten years from the date they are granted, and vest over a requisite service period of three years, or four years for grants prior to November 2020, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted, which requires the input of subjective assumptions.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model values used to value stock option awards granted were determined based on the following weighted average assumptions: 

	December 31, 2020			December 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
Expected life (in years)	6.08			6.25			6.25

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unrecognized compensation expense related to PBF Energy options at December 31, 2020 was $38.5 million, which will be recognized from 2021 through 2024.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company grants restricted stock to employees and non-employee directors. In general, restricted stock granted to our employees vest over a requisite services period of four years, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances. Restricted stock recipients who received grants subsequent to May 2017 have voting rights; however, dividends are accrued and will be paid upon vesting. Restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors are considered to vest immediately at the time of the grant for accounting purposes, as they are non-forfeitable, but are issued in equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. The non-vested shares are not transferable and are held by our transfer agent. The fair values of restricted stock are equal to the market price of our common stock on the grant date.

The following table summarizes activity for PBF Energy restricted stock:

	Number of PBF Energy Restricted Class A Common Stock	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2020	492,225	$	27.21

Performance Awards

The Company grants performance share awards, which are paid in stock, and performance share unit awards, which are paid in cash, (collectively, the “performance awards”) to certain key employees. Performance awards granted to employees prior to November 1, 2020 are based on a three-year performance cycle (the “performance cycle”) with four measurement periods, and performance awards granted to employees after November 1, 2020, are based on a three-year performance cycle having a single measurement period. The performance awards will vest on the last day of the performance cycle, subject to forfeiture or acceleration under certain circumstances set forth in the award agreement. The number of performance awards that will ultimately vest is based on the Company’s total shareholder return over the performance cycle. The number of shares ultimately issued or cash paid under these awards can range from zero to 200% of target award amounts.

Performance Share Unit Awards

The performance share unit awards are accounted for as equity awards, for which the fair value was determined on the grant date by application of a Monte Carlo valuation model.

F- 48

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The grant date fair value was calculated using a Monte Carlo valuation model with the following assumptions:

	December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Expected life (in years)	2.89 - 3.14		2.17 - 2.88		2.17
Expected volatility	39.88% - 82.63%		37.19% - 41.70%		39.04		%
Dividend yield	0.00% - 4.28%		3.40% - 3.67%		2.95		%
Risk-free rate of return	0.26% - 1.34%		1.66% - 2.51%		2.89		%
Weighted average grant-date fair value per PSU	$	10.77	$	27.99	$	50.23

The risk-free interest rate for the remaining performance period as of the grant date is based on a linear interpolation of published yields of traded U.S. Treasury Interest-Only STRIP Bonds. The dividend yield assumption is based on the annualized most recent quarterly dividend divided by the stock price on the grant date. The assumption for the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price reflects the average of PBF Energy’s common stock historical and implied volatility.

The following table summarizes activity for PBF Energy performance share awards:

	Number of PBF Energy Performance Share Units (“PSUs”)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2020	360,797	$	39.03
Granted	446,267	10.77
Vested (a)	(179,072)	50.23
Forfeited	(4,832)	33.01
Nonvested at December 31, 2020	623,160	$	15.62
(a) In 2020, PSU’s with fair value of $0.8 million were vested.

As of December 31, 2020, unrecognized compensation cost related to performance share unit awards was $6.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.20 years.

Performance Unit awards

The performance unit awards are dollar denominated with a target value of $1.00, with actual payout of up to $2.00 per unit (or 200 percent of target). The performance unit awards are settled in cash based on the payout amount determined at the end of the performance cycle. The Company accounts for the performance unit awards as liability awards which the Company recorded at fair market value on the date of grant. Subsequently, the performance unit awards will be marked-to-market at the end of each fiscal quarter by application of a Monte Carlo simulation model.

16. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company’s defined contribution plan covers all employees. Employees are eligible to participate as of the first day of the month following 30 days of service. Participants can make basic contributions up to 50 percent of their annual salary subject to IRS limits. The Company matches participants’ contributions at the rate of 200 percent of the first 3 percent of each participant’s total basic contribution based on the participant’s total annual salary. The Company’s contribution to the qualified defined contribution plans was $32.7 million, $27.5 million and $26.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Defined Benefit and Post-Retirement Medical Plans

The Company sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Qualified Plan”) with a policy to fund pension liabilities in accordance with the limits imposed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and Federal income tax laws. In addition, the Company sponsors a supplemental pension plan covering certain employees, which provides incremental payments that would have been payable from the Company’s principal pension plan, were it not for limitations imposed by income tax regulations (the “Supplemental Plan”). The funded status is measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation which is to be recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The plan assets and benefit obligations are measured as of the Consolidated Balance Sheet date.

The non-union Delaware City employees and all Paulsboro, Toledo, Chalmette, Torrance and Martinez employees became eligible to participate in the Company’s defined benefit plans as of the respective acquisition dates. The union Delaware City employees became eligible to participate in the Company’s defined benefit plans upon commencement of normal operations. The Company did not assume any of the employees’ pension liability accrued prior to the respective acquisitions.

The Company formed the Post-Retirement Medical Plan on December 31, 2010 to provide health care coverage continuation from date of retirement to age 65 for qualifying employees associated with the Paulsboro acquisition. The Company credited the qualifying employees with their prior service under Valero Energy Corporation which resulted in the recognition of a liability for the projected benefit obligation. The Post-Retirement Medical Plan was amended during 2013 to include all corporate employees, amended in 2014 to include Delaware City and Toledo employees, amended in 2015 to include Chalmette employees, amended in 2016 to include Torrance employees and amended in 2020 to include Martinez employees.

2024	20.4		1.7
2025	23.5		1.7
Years 2026-2030	156.2		7.8

The Company’s funding policy for its defined benefit plans is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet legal funding requirements, plus any additional amounts that may be appropriate considering the funded status of the plans, tax consequences, the cash flow generated by the Company and other factors. The Company plans to contribute approximately $55.3 million to the Company’s Pension Plans during 2021.

The Company’s investment strategy for its Qualified Plan is to achieve a reasonable return on assets that supports the plan’s interest credit rating, subject to a moderate level of portfolio risk that provides liquidity. Consistent with these financial objectives as of December 31, 2020, the plan’s target allocations for plan assets are 54% invested in equity securities, 40% fixed income investments and 6% in real estate. Equity securities include international stocks and a blend of U.S. growth and value stocks of various sizes of capitalization. Fixed income securities include bonds and notes issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. The aggregate asset allocation is reviewed on an annual basis.

The overall expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for the Qualified Plan is based on the Company’s view of long-term expectations and asset mix.

17. REVENUES

Adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, which has been applied for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment upon initially applying ASC 606 as there was not a significant impact upon adoption; however, the details of significant qualitative and quantitative disclosure changes upon implementing ASC 606 are detailed below.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The following table provides information relating to the Company’s revenues from external customers for each product or group of similar products for the periods presented:

	Year Ended December 31,
(in millions)	2020		2019		2018
Gasoline and distillates	$	12,799.4	$	21,278.4	$	23,032.6
Feedstocks and other	935.5		806.9		1,374.2
Asphalt and blackoils	777.9		1,426.4		1,592.9
Chemicals	351.5		682.3		842.8
Lubricants	180.7		274.9		321.5
Total Revenues	$	15,045.0	$	24,468.9	$	27,164.0

The majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from the sale of refined petroleum products. 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 Company 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 the Company’s adoption of ASC 606.

Deferred Revenues

The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or are due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable. Deferred revenue was $45.1 million and $17.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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.

Significant Judgment and Practical Expedients

For performance obligations related to sales of products, the Company has determined that customers are able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at the point in time that the products are delivered. The Company has determined that the transfer of control upon delivery to the customer’s requested destination accurately depicts the transfer of goods. Upon the delivery of the products and transfer of control, the Company generally has the present right to payment and the customers bear the risks and rewards of ownership of the products. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

18. INCOME TAXES

PBF Holding is a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes. Accordingly, there is generally no benefit or expense for federal or state income tax in the PBF Holding financial statements apart from the income tax attributable to two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the acquisition of Chalmette Refining and PBF Ltd. that are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes.

The reported income tax (benefit) expense in the PBF Holding Consolidated Statements of Operations consists of the following:

(in millions)	December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Current income tax (benefit) expense	$	(1.2)	$	0.5	$	0.8
Deferred income tax expense (benefit)	7.3		(8.8)		7.2

19. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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 December 31, 2020 and 2019.

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 Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

•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 obligation at December 31, 2020 is categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and is 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, $21.2 million and $10.3 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 the Martinez 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) As disclosed in “Note 9 - Credit Facilities and Debt”, the 2023 Senior Notes were redeemed in full on February 14, 2020.

(c) 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.

(d) 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.

20. DERIVATIVES

The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures to commodity price risk. The Company entered into the Inventory Intermediation Agreements 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.

F- 59

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2020, there were no barrels of crude oil and feedstocks (27,580 barrels at December 31, 2019) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges. As of December 31, 2020, there were 2,604,736 barrels of intermediates and refined products (3,430,635 barrels at December 31, 2019) 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 December 31, 2020, there were 7,183,000 barrels of crude oil and 2,810,000 barrels of refined products (5,511,000 and 5,788,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2019), 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.

The following tables provide information about the fair values of these derivative instruments as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in which the fair values are reflected.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the Business

PBF Holding Company LLC (“PBF Holding” or the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, owns and operates oil refineries and related facilities in North America. PBF Holding is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”). PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) is the sole managing member of, and owner of an equity interest representing approximately 99.2% of the outstanding economic interest in PBF LLC as of December 31, 2020. PBF Investments LLC, Toledo Refining Company LLC, Paulsboro Refining Company LLC (“PRC”), Delaware City Refining Company LLC (“DCR”), Chalmette Refining, L.L.C. (“Chalmette Refining”), PBF Energy Western Region LLC, Torrance Refining Company LLC, Torrance Logistics Company LLC and Martinez Refining Company LLC are PBF LLC’s principal operating subsidiaries and are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of PBF Holding. Collectively, PBF Holding and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to hereinafter as the “Company”.

On May 14, 2014, PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX”), a Delaware master limited partnership, completed its initial public offering (the “PBFX Offering”). PBF Logistics GP LLC (“PBF GP”) serves as the general partner of PBFX. PBF GP is wholly-owned by PBF LLC. In connection with the PBFX Offering, PBF Holding contributed to PBFX the assets and liabilities of certain crude oil terminaling assets. In a series of additional transactions subsequent to the PBFX Offering, PBF Holding distributed certain additional assets to PBF LLC, which in turn contributed those assets to PBFX (as described in “Note 11 - Related Party Transactions”).

Substantially all of the Company’s operations are in the United States. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and have been aggregated to form one reportable segment. To generate earnings and cash flows from operations, the Company is primarily dependent upon processing crude oil and selling refined petroleum products at margins sufficient to cover fixed and variable costs and other expenses. Crude oil and refined petroleum products are commodities; and factors that are largely out of the Company’s control can cause prices to vary over time. The resulting potential margin volatility can have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, earnings and cash flows.

COVID-19 and Market Developments

The impact of the unprecedented global health and economic crisis sparked by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related adverse impact on economic and commercial activity has resulted in a significant reduction in demand for refined petroleum and petrochemical products. This significant demand reduction has had an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and liquidity position for the year ended December 31, 2020. In response, the Company has reduced throughput rates across its entire refining system and is currently operating all refineries at reduced rates.

It is impossible to estimate the duration or significance of the financial impact that will result from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak, particularly within the geographic areas where the Company operates, and the related impact on overall economic activity, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation

These Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PBF Holding and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cost Classifications

Cost of products and other consists of the cost of crude oil, other feedstocks, blendstocks and purchased refined products and the related in-bound freight and transportation costs.

Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) consists of direct costs of labor, maintenance and services, utilities, property taxes, environmental compliance costs and other direct operating costs incurred in connection with our refining operations. Such expenses exclude depreciation related to refining and logistics assets that are integral to the refinery production process, which is presented separately as Depreciation and amortization expense as a component of Cost of sales on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Reclassification

As of December 31, 2020, Financing lease right of use assets - third party, previously included in Deferred charges and other assets, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are reflected within Lease right of use assets - third party, which is inclusive of all third party lease right of use assets. Financing lease liabilities - third party, previously included in Other long-term liabilities, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are presented as separate line items in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The amounts related to such balance sheet accounts have also been reclassified in their respective footnotes for prior periods to conform to the 2020 presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Impairment Assessment

The global crisis resulting from the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a substantial impact on the economy and overall consumer demand for energy and hydrocarbon products. As a result of the enduring throughput reductions across the Company’s refineries and continued decrease in demand for the Company’s products, the Company determined an impairment triggering event had occurred as of December 31, 2020. As such, the Company performed an impairment assessment on its long-lived assets as of December 31, 2020. As a result of the impairment test, the Company concluded that the carrying values of its long-lived assets were not impaired when comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets over their remaining estimated useful life.

In connection with the Company’s ongoing strategic response plan to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and its East Coast Refining Reconfiguration (as defined in “Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment, net”), it recorded an impairment charge of approximately $91.8 million associated to the write-down of certain assets and project abandonments. Refer to “Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment, net” for further details.

If adverse market conditions persist or there is further deterioration in the general economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there could be additional indicators that the Company’s assets are impaired requiring evaluation that may result in future impairment charges to earnings.

Business Combinations

We use the acquisition method of accounting for the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Any excess consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. As a result, in the case of significant acquisitions, we obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists in estimating fair values of tangible and intangible assets based on available historical information and on expectations and assumptions about the future, considering the perspective of marketplace participants. While management believes those expectations and assumptions are reasonable, they are inherently uncertain. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.

Certain of the Company’s acquisitions may include earn-out provisions or other forms of contingent consideration. As of the acquisition date, the Company records contingent consideration, as applicable, at the estimated fair value of expected future payments associated with the earn-out. Any changes to the recorded fair value of contingent consideration, subsequent to the measurement period, will be recognized as earnings in the period in which it occurs.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of the cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of those instruments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

For the year ended December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues (approximately 13%). For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 no single customer amounted to greater than or equal to 10% of the Company’s revenues.

As of December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable (approximately 17%). No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019.

Revenue, Deferred Revenue and Accounts Receivable

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The Company sells various refined products primarily through its refinery subsidiaries and recognizes revenue related to the sale of products when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Refer to “Note 17 - Revenues” for further discussion of the Company’s revenue recognition policy, including deferred revenues and the practical expedients elected as part of the transition to ASC 606.

During 2019, PBF Holding and its subsidiaries, DCR and PRC, entered into amendments to the existing inventory intermediation agreements (as amended in the first quarter of 2019 and amended and restated in the third quarter of 2019, the “Inventory Intermediation Agreements”) with J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“J. Aron”), pursuant to which certain terms of the existing inventory intermediation agreements were amended, including, among other things, the maturity date. On March 29, 2019 the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR was amended to add the PBFX assets acquired from Crown Point International, LLC in October 2018 (the “East Coast Storage Assets”) as a location and crude oil as a new product type to be included in the J. Aron Products (as defined in “Note 5 - Inventories”) sold to J. Aron by DCR. On August 29, 2019 the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and PRC was extended to December 31, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2022 and the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR was extended to June 30, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to June 30, 2022.

Pursuant to each Inventory Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron purchases and holds title to the J. Aron Products produced by the refinery and delivered into the J. Aron Storage Tanks (as defined in “Note 5 - Inventories”). The J. Aron Products are sold back to the Company as the J. Aron Products are discharged out of the J. Aron Storage Tanks. These purchases and sales are settled monthly at the daily 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 East Coast refineries to J. Aron. Additionally, J. Aron has the right to store the J. Aron Products purchased in J. Aron Storage Tanks under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements and will retain these storage rights for the term of the agreements. PBF Holding continues to market and sell the J. Aron Products independently to third parties.

Accounts receivable are carried at invoiced amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established, if required, to report such amounts at their estimated net realizable value. In estimating probable losses, management reviews accounts that are past due and determines if there are any known disputes. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Excise taxes on sales of refined products that are collected from customers and remitted to various governmental agencies are reported on a net basis.

Inventory

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of crude oil, feedstocks, blendstocks and refined products are determined under the last-in first-out (“LIFO”) method using the dollar value LIFO method with increments valued based on average purchase prices during the year. The cost of supplies and other inventories is determined principally on the weighted average cost method.

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), using the modified retrospective approach. As of the date of implementation on January 1, 2019, the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets of approximately $853.9 million of which $604.4 million is attributable to leases with affiliates.

The Company leases office space, office equipment, refinery facilities and equipment, railcars and other logistics assets primarily under non-cancelable operating leases, with terms typically ranging from one to twenty years, subject to certain renewal options as applicable. The Company considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Interest expense for finance leases is incurred based on the carrying value of the lease liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

For substantially all classes of underlying assets, the Company has elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components, which allows for combining the components if certain criteria are met. For certain leases of refinery support facilities, the Company accounts for the non-lease service component separately.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment additions are recorded at cost. The Company capitalizes costs associated with the preliminary, pre-acquisition and development/construction stages of a major construction project. The Company capitalizes the interest cost associated with major construction projects based on the effective interest rate of total borrowings. The Company also capitalizes costs incurred in the acquisition and development of software for internal use, including the costs of software, materials, consultants and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in the application development stage.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Process units and equipment	5-25 years
Pipeline and equipment	5-25 years
Buildings	25 years
Computers, furniture and fixtures	3-7 years
Leasehold improvements	20 years
Railcars	50 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred. Improvements and betterments, which extend the lives of the assets, are capitalized.

Deferred Charges and Other Assets, Net

Deferred charges and other assets include refinery turnaround costs, catalyst, precious metal catalysts, linefill, deferred financing costs and intangible assets. Refinery turnaround costs, which are incurred in connection with planned major maintenance activities, are capitalized when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of time estimated to lapse until the next turnaround occurs. The amortization period generally ranges from 3 to 6 years; however, based upon the specific facts and circumstances, different periods of deferral occur.

As a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration (as defined in “Note - 6 Property, Plant and Equipment, net), certain major processing units were temporarily idled. As such, the Company accelerated the recognition of approximately $56.2 million of unamortized deferred turnaround costs associated with these idled units.

Precious metal catalysts, linefill and certain other intangibles are considered indefinite-lived assets as they are not expected to deteriorate in their prescribed functions. Such assets are assessed for impairment in connection with the Company’s review of its long-lived assets.

Deferred financing costs are capitalized when incurred and amortized over the life of the loan (generally 1 to 8 years).

Intangible assets with finite lives primarily consist of emission credits and permits and are amortized over their estimated useful lives (generally 1 to 10 years).

Long-Lived Assets and Definite-Lived Intangibles

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment is evaluated by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets and their ultimate disposition. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of the long-lived assets is not considered to be recoverable, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value.

Impairment assessments inherently involve judgment as to assumptions about expected future cash flows and the impact of market conditions on those assumptions. Although management utilizes assumptions that it believes are reasonable, future events and changing market conditions may impact management’s assumptions, which could produce different results.

Investments in Equity Method Investments

For equity investments that are not required to be consolidated under the variable or voting interest model, the Company evaluates the level of influence it is able to exercise over an entity’s operations to determine whether to use the equity method of accounting. The Company’s judgment regarding the level of control over an equity method investment includes considering key factors such as its ownership interest, participation in policy-making and other significant decisions and material intercompany transactions. Amounts recognized for equity method investments are included in equity method investments in the consolidated balance sheet and adjusted for the Company’s share of the net earnings and losses of the investee and cash distributions, which are included in the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows. Amounts recognized for earnings in excess of distributions of the Company’s equity method investments are included in the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. A loss is recorded in earnings in the current period to write down the carrying value of the investment to fair value if a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company records an asset retirement obligation at fair value for the estimated cost to retire a tangible long-lived asset at the time the Company incurs that liability, which is generally when the asset is purchased, constructed, or leased. The Company records the liability when it has a legal or contractual obligation to incur costs to retire the asset and when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability can be made. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made at the time the liability is incurred, the Company will record the liability when sufficient information is available to estimate the liability’s fair value. Certain of the Company’s asset retirement obligations are based on its legal obligation to perform remedial activity at its refinery sites when it permanently ceases operations of the long-lived assets. The Company therefore considers the settlement date of these obligations to be indeterminable. Accordingly, the Company cannot calculate an associated asset retirement liability for these obligations at this time. The Company will measure and recognize the fair value of these asset retirement obligations when the settlement date is determinable.

Environmental Matters

Liabilities for future remediation costs are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Other than for assessments, the timing and magnitude of these accruals generally are based on the completion of investigations or other studies or a commitment to a formal plan of action. Environmental liabilities are based on best estimates of probable future costs using currently available technology and applying current regulations, as well as the Company’s own internal environmental policies. The measurement of environmental remediation liabilities may be discounted to reflect the time value of money if the aggregate amount and timing of cash payments of the liabilities are fixed or reliably determinable. The actual settlement of the Company’s liability for environmental matters could materially differ from its estimates due to a number of uncertainties such as the extent of contamination, changes in environmental laws and regulations, potential improvements in remediation technologies and the participation of other responsible parties.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation includes the accounting effect of options to purchase PBF Energy Class A common stock granted by PBF Energy to certain PBF Holding employees, Series A warrants issued or granted by PBF LLC to employees in connection with their acquisition of PBF LLC Series A units, options to acquire Series A units of PBF LLC granted by PBF LLC to certain employees, Series B units of PBF LLC that were granted to certain members of management and restricted PBF LLC Series A Units and restricted PBF Energy Class A common stock granted to certain directors and officers. The estimated fair value of the options to purchase PBF Energy Class A common stock and the PBF LLC Series A warrants and options, is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of the PBF LLC Series B units is estimated based on a Monte Carlo simulation model. The estimated fair value is amortized as stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line method over the vesting period and included in General and administrative expense with forfeitures recognized in the period they occur.

PBF Energy grants performance share unit awards and performance unit awards to certain key employees. Performance awards granted to employees prior to November 1, 2020 are based on a three-year performance cycle with four measurement periods and performance awards granted to employees after November 1, 2020 are based on a three-year performance cycle having a single measurement period. The payout for each, which ranges from 0% to 200%, is based on the relative ranking of the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of PBF Energy’s common stock as compared to the TSR of a selected group of industry peer companies over an average of four measurement periods. The performance share unit awards and performance unit awards are each measured at fair value based on Monte Carlo simulation models. The performance share unit awards will be settled in PBF Energy Class A common stock and are accounted for as equity awards and the performance unit awards will be settled in cash and are accounted for as liability awards.

Income Taxes

As PBF Holding is a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, there is no benefit or expense for federal or state income tax in the accompanying financial statements apart from the income taxes attributable to two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the acquisition of Chalmette Refining and the Company’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, PBF Energy Limited (“PBF Ltd.”). These subsidiaries are treated as C-corporations for tax purposes.

The State tax returns for all years since 2015 are subject to examination by the respective tax authorities.

Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits

The Company recognizes an asset for the overfunded status or a liability for the underfunded status of its pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The funded status is recorded within Other long-term liabilities or assets. Changes in the plans’ funded status are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period the change occurs.

Fair Value Measurement

A fair value hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3) is used to categorize fair value amounts based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. Accordingly, fair values derived from Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values derived from Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair values of its applicable assets and liabilities. When available, the Company measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. In some valuations, the inputs may fall into different levels in the hierarchy. In these cases, the asset or liability level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined based on the Company’s assessment of available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The Company’s non-derivative financial instruments that are included in current assets and current liabilities are recorded at cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s commodity contracts are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 1 inputs based on quoted prices in an active market, Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices for similar instruments, or Level 3 inputs based on third-party sources and other available market based data. The Company’s catalyst obligations and derivatives related to the Company’s crude oil and feedstocks and refined product purchase obligations are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs on a recurring basis, based on observable market prices for similar instruments.

Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to market risk, primarily related to changes in commodity prices for the crude oil and feedstocks used in the refining process as well as the prices of the refined products sold and the risk associated with the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. The accounting treatment for commodity and environmental compliance contracts depends on the intended use of the particular contract and on whether or not the contract meets the definition of a derivative.

All derivative instruments, not designated as normal purchases or sales, are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that either are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or normal purchase or normal sale accounting are recognized currently in earnings. Contracts qualifying for the normal purchase and sales exemption are accounted for upon settlement. Cash flows related to derivative instruments that are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are included in operating activities.

The Company designates certain derivative instruments as fair value hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability. At the inception of the hedge designation, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Derivative gains and losses related to these fair value hedges, including hedge ineffectiveness, are recorded in cost of sales along with the change in fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk. Cash flows related to derivative instruments that are designated as fair value hedges are included in operating activities.

Economic hedges are hedges not designated as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes that are used to (i) manage price volatility in certain refinery feedstock and refined product inventories, and (ii) manage price volatility in certain forecasted refinery feedstock purchases and refined product sales. These instruments are recorded at fair value and changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized currently in cost of sales.

Derivative accounting is complex and requires management judgment in the following respects: identification of derivatives and embedded derivatives, determination of the fair value of derivatives, documentation of hedge relationships, assessment and measurement of hedge ineffectiveness and election and designation of the normal purchases and sales exception. All of these judgments, depending upon their timing and effect, can have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20)”, to improve the effectiveness of benefit plan disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, for public business entities and early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2020, which did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

On February 1, 2020, the Company acquired from Equilon Enterprises LLC d/b/a Shell Oil Products US (the "Seller"), the Martinez refinery and related logistics assets (collectively, the "Martinez Acquisition"), pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated June 11, 2019 (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”). The Martinez refinery, located in Martinez, California, is a high-conversion, dual-coking facility that is strategically positioned in Northern California and provides for operating and commercial synergies with the Torrance refinery located in Southern California.

In addition to refining assets, the Martinez Acquisition includes a number of onsite logistics assets, including a deep-water marine facility, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities.

The aggregate purchase price for the Martinez Acquisition was $1,253.4 million, including final working capital of $216.1 million and the Martinez Contingent Consideration, as defined below. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand, including proceeds from the 2028 Senior Notes (as defined in “Note 9 - Credit Facilities and Debt”), and borrowings under PBF Holding’s asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

The Company accounted for the Martinez Acquisition as a business combination under GAAP whereby it recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition.

Credit Loss [Abstract]

CURRENT EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES

4. 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. Following the widespread market disruption that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental responses, the Company has been performing ongoing credit reviews of its customers including monitoring for any negative credit events such as customer bankruptcy or insolvency events. As a result, the Company has adjusted payment terms or limited available trade credit for certain customers, as well as for customers within industries that are deemed to be at higher risk.

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 December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

This inventory is held in the Company’s storage tanks at the Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries and at PBFX’s East Coast Storage Assets, (collectively the “J. Aron Storage Tanks”).

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which decreased income from operations by $268.0 million, reflecting the net change in the lower of cost or market (“LCM”) inventory reserve from $401.6 million at December 31, 2019 to $669.6 million at December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which increased income from operations by $250.2 million, reflecting the net change in the LCM inventory reserve from $651.8 million at December 31, 2018 to $401.6 million at December 31, 2019.

An actual valuation of inventories valued under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on inventory levels and costs at that time. The Company recorded a charge related to a LIFO layer decrement of $83.0 million and $4.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The majority of the decrement recorded in 2020 related to the Company’s East Coast LIFO inventory layer and the reduction in the Company’s East Coast inventory experienced as part of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration (as defined in “Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment, net”).

East Coast Refining Reconfiguration

On December 31, 2020, the Company reconfigured the Delaware and Paulsboro refineries (the “East Coast Refining Reconfiguration”) temporarily idling certain of its major processing units at the Paulsboro refinery, in order to operate the two refineries as one functional unit referred to as the “East Coast Refining System”. The reconfiguration process resulted in lower overall throughput and inventory levels in addition to decreases in capital and operating costs. The Company abandoned certain projects related to assets under construction related to these idled assets, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $11.9 million and a corresponding decrease to its construction in progress account in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Capital Project Abandonments

In connection with the Company’s ongoing strategic response plan to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and its East Coast Refining Reconfiguration, it assessed its refinery wide slate of capital projects that were either in process or not yet placed into service as of December 31, 2020. Based on this assessment and the Company’s strategic plan to reduce capital expenditures, it decided to abandon various capital projects across the refinery system, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $79.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Sale of Hydrogen Plants

On April 17, 2020, the Company closed on the sale of five hydrogen plants to Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (“Air Products”) in a sale-leaseback transaction for gross cash proceeds of $530.0 million and recognized a gain of $471.1 million. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a transition services agreement which was followed by the execution of long-term supply agreements in August 2020. Refer to “Note 13 - Leases” for further information.

The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $982.9 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses.

On December 21, 2020 PBF Holding issued an additional $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of tack on 9.25% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes”). The additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes were issued at an offering price of 100.25% plus accrued and unpaid interest from and including, November 15, 2020. The additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes were issued under the indenture governing the initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes and, together with the additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes, the (“2025 Senior Secured Notes”). The additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes are treated as a single series with the initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes and have the same terms except that a portion of the additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes were issued initially under a new temporary CUSIP number to be used during the 40-day distribution compliance period. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $245.7 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses.

The 2025 Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by substantially all of PBF Holding’s subsidiaries. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and guarantees are senior obligations and secured, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, on a first-priority basis, by substantially all of PBF Holding's and the guarantors’ present and future assets (other than assets securing the Revolving Credit Facility), which may also constitute collateral securing certain hedging obligations and any existing or future indebtedness that is permitted to be secured on a pari passu basis with the 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and guarantees are senior secured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the 6.00% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”) and the 7.25% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and guarantees rank effectively senior to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is not secured by the collateral (including the

Revolving Credit Facility, the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes), subject to permitted liens on such collateral and certain other exceptions, and senior in right of payment to the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment thereto. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing or future secured indebtedness that is secured by liens on assets owned by the Company that do not constitute part of the collateral securing the 2025 Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees (including the assets securing the Revolving Credit Facility) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuers’ non-guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, the 2025 Senior Secured Notes contain customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities. These covenants include limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, equity issuances, and payments. Many of these covenants will cease to apply or will be modified if the 2025 Senior Secured Notes are rated investment grade.

At any time prior to May 15, 2022, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes in an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 109.250% of the principal amount of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. On or after May 15, 2022, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes, in each case at the redemption prices described in the indenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. In addition, prior to May 15, 2022, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes at a “make-whole” redemption price described in the indenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

In addition, the Issuers may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes using net proceeds of any loan received pursuant to a Regulatory Debt Facility (as defined in the indenture) at a redemption price equal to 104.625% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date as long as any such redemption occurs on or prior to 120 days after receipt of such net proceeds.

2028 Senior Notes

On January 24, 2020, PBF Holding entered into an indenture among the Issuers, the Guarantors, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent and Authenticating Agent, under which the Issuers issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 6.00% 2028 Senior Notes. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $987.0 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. The Company primarily used the net proceeds to fully redeem the 7.00% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”), including accrued and unpaid interest, on February 14, 2020, and to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Martinez Acquisition. The difference between the carrying value of the 2023 Senior Notes on the date they were reacquired and the amount for which they were reacquired has been classified as Debt extinguishment costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The 2028 Senior Notes included a registration rights arrangement whereby the Issuer and the Guarantors agreed to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate an offer to exchange the 2028 Senior Notes for an issue of registered notes with terms substantially identical to the notes not later than 365 days after the date of the original issuance of the notes. This registration statement was declared effective on October 14, 2020 and the exchange was consummated during the fourth quarter of 2020. As such, the Company did not have to transfer any consideration as a result of the registration rights agreement and thus no loss contingency was recorded.

The 2028 Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by substantially all of PBF Holding’s subsidiaries. The 2028 Senior Notes and guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness, including PBF Holding’s Revolving Credit Facility, the 2025 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The 2028 Senior Notes and the guarantees rank senior in right of payment to the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment thereto. The 2028 Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing or future secured indebtedness (including the Revolving Credit Facility) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The 2028 Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuers’ non-guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, the 2028 Senior Notes contain customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities. These covenants include limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, equity issuances, and payments. Many of these covenants will cease to apply or will be modified if the 2028 Senior Notes are rated investment grade.

At any time prior to February 15, 2023, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes in an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.000% of the principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. On or after February 15, 2023, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the 2028 Senior Notes, in each case at the redemption prices described in the indenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. In addition, prior to February 15, 2023, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the 2028 Senior Notes at a “make-whole” redemption price described in the indenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption.

2025 Senior Notes

On May 30, 2017, PBF Holding entered into an indenture among Issuers, the Guarantors, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent and Authenticating Agent, under which the Issuers issued $725.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% 2025 Senior Notes. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $711.6 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses, all of which was used to fund the cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its outstanding 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Senior Secured Notes”), to pay the related redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest for any 2020 Senior Secured Notes which remained outstanding after the completion of the Tender Offer, and for general corporate purposes.

The 2025 Senior Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of PBF Holding’s subsidiaries. The 2025 Senior Notes and guarantees are senior unsecured obligations which rank equal in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The 2025 Senior Notes and the guarantees rank senior in right of payment to the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment thereto. The 2025 Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing or future secured indebtedness (including the Revolving Credit Facility) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The 2025 Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuers’ non-guarantor subsidiaries.

PBF Holding has optional redemption rights to repurchase all or a portion of the 2025 Senior Notes at varying prices which are no less than 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the 2025 Senior Notes have repurchase options exercisable only upon a change in control, certain asset sale transactions, or in event of a default as defined in the indenture. In addition, the 2025 Senior Notes contain customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities that limit certain types of additional debt, equity issuances, and payments. Many of these covenants will cease to apply or will be modified if the 2025 Senior Notes are rated investment grade.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 2, 2018, PBF Holding and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as borrowers or subsidiary guarantors, replaced the existing asset-based revolving credit agreement dated as of August 15, 2014 with the new Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maximum commitment of $3.4 billion, a maturity date of May 2023 and redefines certain components of the Borrowing Base, as defined in the agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), to make more funding available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes. An accordion feature allows for commitments of up to $3.5 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at the Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin (all as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). The Applicable Margin ranges from 0.25% to 1.00% for Alternative Base Rate Loans and from 1.25% to 2.00% for Adjusted LIBOR Loans, in each case depending on the Company’s corporate credit rating. In addition, the LC Participation Fee ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% depending on the Company’s corporate credit rating and the Fronting Fee is capped at 0.25%.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and restrictions on the activities of PBF Holding and its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, limitations on incurring additional indebtedness, liens, negative pledges, guarantees, investments, loans, asset sales, mergers and acquisitions, prepayment of other debt, distributions, dividends and the repurchase of capital stock, transactions with affiliates and the ability of PBF Holding to change the nature of its business or its fiscal year; all as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement has a financial covenant which requires that if at any time Excess Availability, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of the then existing Borrowing Base and the then aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders (the “Financial Covenant Testing Amount”), and (ii) $100.0 million, and until such time as Excess Availability is greater than the Financial Covenant Testing Amount and $100.0 million for a period of 12 or more consecutive days, PBF Holding will not permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement and determined as of the last day of the most recently completed quarter, to be less than 1 to 1.

PBF Holding’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are (a) guaranteed by each of its domestic operating subsidiaries that are not Excluded Subsidiaries (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) and (b) secured by a lien on (i) PBF LLC’s equity interest in PBF Holding and (ii) certain assets of PBF Holding and the subsidiary guarantors, including all deposit accounts (other than zero balance accounts, cash collateral accounts, trust accounts and/or payroll accounts, all of which are excluded from the definition of collateral), all accounts receivable, all hydrocarbon inventory (other than the J. Aron Products owned by J. Aron pursuant to the Inventory Intermediation Agreements) and to the extent evidencing, governing, securing or otherwise related to the foregoing, all general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, letter of credit rights and supporting obligations; and all products and proceeds of the foregoing.

On February 18, 2020, in connection with its entry into a $300.0 million uncommitted receivables purchase facility (the “Receivables Facility”), the Company amended the Revolving Credit Agreement and entered into a related intercreditor agreement to allow it to sell certain Eligible Receivables (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) derived from the sale of refined product over truck racks. Under the Receivables Facility, the Company sells such receivables to a bank subject to bank approval and certain conditions. The sales of receivables under the Receivables Facility are absolute and irrevocable but subject to certain repurchase obligations under certain circumstances.

On May 7, 2020, the Company further amended the Revolving Credit Facility, to increase PBF Holding’s ability to incur certain secured debt from an amount equal to 10% of its total assets to 20% of its total assets.

During 2020 the Company used advances under the Revolving Credit Facility to fund the Martinez Acquisition and other capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020 were $900.0 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2019. Issued letters of credit were $184.4 million and $221.4 million, as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

PBF Rail Term Loan

On December 22, 2016, PBF Rail Logistics Company LLC (“PBF Rail”) entered into a $35.0 million term loan (the “PBF Rail Term Loan”). The PBF Rail Term Loan amortizes monthly over its five year term and bears interest at a rate equal to one month LIBOR plus the margin as defined in the agreement governing the PBF Rail Term Loan (the “Rail Credit Agreement”). As security for the PBF Rail Term Loan, PBF Rail pledged, among other things: (i) certain Eligible Railcars; (ii) the Debt Service Reserve Account (as defined in the Rail Credit Agreement); and (iii) PBF Holding’s membership interest in PBF Rail. Additionally, the Rail Credit Agreement contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for transactions of this nature. PBF Rail may at any time repay the PBF Rail Term Loan without penalty in the event that railcars securing the loan are sold, scrapped or otherwise removed from the collateral pool.

The outstanding balances under the PBF Rail Term Loan were $7.4 million and $14.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As the PBF Rail Term Loan expires in December 2021, the outstanding balance as of December 31, 2020 is reflected as Current debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Precious Metal Catalyst Financing Arrangements

Certain subsidiaries of the Company have entered into agreements whereby such subsidiary sold a portion of its precious metal catalysts to a major commercial bank and subsequently refinanced the precious metal catalysts under contractual arrangements. The volume of the precious metal catalysts and the interest rate are fixed over the term of each financing arrangement. At maturity, the Company must repurchase the applicable precious metal catalysts, or otherwise settle its obligation with the counterparty, at its then fair market value. The Company believes that there is a substantial market for precious metal catalysts and that it will be able to release such catalysts at maturity. The Company treated these transactions as financing arrangements, and the related payments are recorded as interest expense over the agreements’ terms. 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 value of the underlying precious metal catalysts. The fair value of these repurchase obligations as reflected in the fair value of long-term debt outstanding table below is measured using Level 2 inputs.

Details of the catalyst financing arrangements at each of the Company’s refineries as of December 31, 2020 are included in the following table:

Refinery	Metal	Annual interest rate		Expiration date
Paulsboro	Platinum	1.47	%	December 2022
Delaware City	Platinum	2.75	%	October 2021(1)
Delaware City	Palladium	3.45	%	September 2021(1)
Toledo	Platinum	4.05	%	September 2021(1)
Chalmette	Platinum	2.10	%	October 2021(1)
Chalmette	Platinum	1.80	%	November 2022
Torrance	Platinum	1.78	%	July 2022
Martinez	Platinum	4.05	%	September 2021(1)
Martinez	Palladium	3.45	%	September 2021(1)

__________________

(1) These catalyst financing arrangements are included in Long-term debt as of December 31, 2020 as the Company has the ability and intent to finance this debt through availability under other credit facilities if the catalyst financing arrangements are not renewed at maturity.

In total, aggregate annual catalyst financing fees were approximately $2.7 million and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

In addition, the Company executed terminal, pipeline and storage services agreements with PBFX under which PBFX provides commercial transportation, terminaling, storage and pipeline services to the Company. These agreements with PBFX include:

Contribution Agreements

Immediately prior to the closing of certain contribution agreements, which PBF LLC entered into with PBFX (as defined in the table below, and collectively referred to as the “Contribution Agreements”), PBF Holding contributed certain assets to PBF LLC. PBF LLC in turn contributed those assets to PBFX pursuant to the Contribution Agreements. Certain proceeds received by PBF LLC from PBFX in accordance with the Contribution Agreements were subsequently contributed by PBF LLC to PBF Holding. The Contribution Agreements entered during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 include the following:

Contribution Agreement	Effective Date	Assets Contributed	Total Consideration
Contribution Agreements VII-X	7/16/2018	Development Assets (a)	$31.6 million
Contribution Agreement XI	4/24/2019	Remaining 50% equity interest in TVPC (b)	$200.0 million

(a) On July 16, 2018, PBFX entered into four contribution agreements with PBF LLC pursuant to which the Company contributed to PBF LLC certain of its subsidiaries (the “Development Assets Contribution Agreements”). Pursuant to the Development Asset Contribution Agreements, the Company contributed all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of: Toledo Rail Logistics Company LLC, whose assets consist of a loading and unloading rail facility located at the Toledo refinery (the “Toledo Rail Products Facility”); Chalmette Logistics Company LLC, whose assets consist of a truck loading rack facility (the “Chalmette Truck Rack”) and a rail yard facility (the “Chalmette Rosin Yard”), both of which are located at the Chalmette refinery; Paulsboro Terminaling Company LLC, whose assets consist of a lube oil terminal facility located at the Paulsboro refinery (the “Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal”); and DCR Storage and Loading Company LLC, whose assets consist of an ethanol storage facility located at the Delaware City refinery (collectively with the Toledo Rail Products Facility, the Chalmette Truck Rack, the Chalmette Rosin Yard, and the Paulsboro Lube Oil Terminal, the “Development Assets”) to PBF LLC. PBFX Operating Company LP, PBFX’s wholly-owned subsidiary, in turn acquired the limited liability company interests in the Development Assets from PBF LLC in connection with the Development Assets Contribution Agreements effective as of July 31, 2018.

(b) On April 24, 2019, PBFX entered into a contribution agreement with PBF LLC, pursuant to which the Company contributed to PBF LLC, which in turn contributed to PBFX, all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of TVP Holding Company LLC (“TVP Holding”) for total consideration of $200.0 million (the “TVPC Acquisition”). Prior to the TVPC Acquisition, TVP Holding (then a subsidiary of PBF Holding) owned a 50% equity interest in Torrance Valley Pipeline Company LLC (“TVPC”). Subsequent to the closing of the TVPC Acquisition on May 31, 2019, PBFX owns 100% of the equity interest in TVPC.

Refer to the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Note 9 - Related Party Transactions” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) for a more complete description of the Contribution Agreements with PBFX that were entered into prior to 2018.

Commercial Agreements with PBFX

PBF Holding has entered into long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with PBFX relating to assets associated with the Contribution Agreements described above, the majority of which include a minimum volume commitment (“MVC”) and are supported by contractual fee escalations for inflation adjustments and certain increases in operating costs. Under these agreements, PBFX provides various pipeline, rail and truck terminaling and storage services to PBF Holding and PBF Holding has committed to provide PBFX with minimum fees based on minimum monthly throughput volumes. PBF Holding believes the terms and conditions under these agreements, as well as the Omnibus Agreement (as defined below) and the Services Agreement (as defined below) each with PBFX, are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services.

(b)The Amended and Restated Rail Agreements, as amended and effective as of January 1, 2018, include the Amended and Restated Delaware City Rail Terminaling Services Agreement and the Amended and Restated Delaware West Ladder Rack Terminaling Services Agreement, each between Delaware City Terminaling Company LLC (“DCTC”) and PBF Holding, with the service fees thereunder being adjusted, including the addition of an ancillary fee paid by PBF Holding on an actual cost basis. In determining payments due under the Amended and Restated Rail Agreements, excess volumes throughput under the agreements shall apply against required payments in respect to the minimum throughput commitments on a quarterly basis and, to the extent not previously applied, on an annual basis against the MVCs. Effective January 1, 2019, the existing Amended and Restated Rail Agreements were further amended for the inclusion of services through certain rail infrastructure at the East Coast Storage Assets.

(c)These commercial agreements with PBFX are considered leases.

(d)In connection with the inclusion of an additional destination at the Magellan connection under the Delaware Pipeline Services Agreement, PBF Holding and Delaware Pipeline Company LLC agreed to a two-year, five-month MVC (the “Magellan MVC”) under the Delaware Pipeline Services Agreement. The Magellan MVC expired on March 31, 2019, subsequent to which PBFX has been billing actual throughput on the Magellan connection.

(e)Subsequent to the PBFX acquisition of the Toledo, Ohio refined products terminal assets (the “Toledo Products Terminal”), the Toledo Products Terminal was added to the East Coast Terminals Terminaling Services Agreements.

(f)The East Coast Terminals related party agreements include varying initial term lengths, ranging from one to five years.

(g)The East Coast Terminals Terminaling Services Agreements have no MVCs and are billed based on actual volumes throughput, other than a terminaling services agreement between PBFX’s East Coast Terminals’ Paulsboro, New Jersey location and PBF Holding’s Paulsboro refinery with a 15,000 bpd MVC.

(h)Reflects the overall capacity as stipulated by the storage agreement. The storage MVC is subject to the effective operating capacity of each tank, which can be impacted by routine tank maintenance and other factors. PBF Holding’s available shell capacity may be subject to change as agreed to by PBF Holding and PBFX.

(i)In connection with the TVPC Acquisition on May 31, 2019, the Torrance Valley Pipeline Transportation Services Agreement- South Pipeline was amended and restated to increase the MVC from 70,000 bpd to 75,000 bpd.

(j)The minimum throughput revenue commitment for the Knoxville Terminals Agreement- Terminaling Services is $0.9 million for year one, $1.8 million for year two and $2.7 million for year three and thereafter.

(l)The Delaware City Terminaling Services Agreement between DCTC and PBF Holding will commence in 2022 subsequent to the expiration of the Amended and Restated Rail Agreements and includes additional services to be provided by PBFX as operator of other rail facilities owned by PBF Holding’s subsidiaries.

(m)The Chalmette Storage Services Agreement was entered into on February 15, 2017 and commenced on November 1, 2017.

Omnibus Agreement

In addition to the commercial agreements described above, PBF Holding entered into an omnibus agreement with PBFX, PBF GP and PBF LLC, which has been amended and restated in connection with certain of the Contribution Agreements with PBFX, PBF GP and PBF LLC (as amended, the “Omnibus Agreement”) for the provision of executive management services and support for accounting and finance, legal, human resources, information technology, environmental, health and safety, and other administrative functions, as well as (i) PBF LLC’s agreement not to compete with PBFX under certain circumstances, subject to certain exceptions, (ii) PBFX’s right of first offer for ten years to acquire certain logistics assets retained by PBF Energy following the PBFX Offering, including certain logistics assets that PBF LLC or its subsidiaries may construct or acquire in the future, subject to certain exceptions, and (iii) a license to use the PBF Logistics trademark and name.

The annual fee under the Omnibus Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $7.6 million, inclusive of obligations under the Omnibus Agreement to reimburse PBF Holding for certain compensation and benefit costs of employees who devote more than 50% of their time to PBFX for the year ending December 31, 2020. The Company currently estimates to receive an annual fee of $8.3 million, inclusive of estimated obligations under the Omnibus Agreement to reimburse PBF Holding for certain compensation and benefit costs of employees who devote more than 50% of their time to PBFX for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Services Agreement

Additionally, PBF Holding and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an operation and management services and secondment agreement with PBFX (as amended, the “Services Agreement”), pursuant to which PBF Holding and its subsidiaries provide PBFX with the personnel necessary for PBFX to perform its obligations under the commercial agreements. PBFX reimburses PBF Holding for the use of such employees and the provision of certain infrastructure-related services to the extent applicable to its operations, including storm water discharge and waste water treatment, steam, potable water, access to certain roads and grounds, sanitary sewer access, electrical power, emergency response, filter press, fuel gas, API solids treatment, fire water and compressed air. For the year ended December 31, 2020, PBFX paid an annual fee of $8.7 million to PBF Holding pursuant to the Services Agreement and is estimated to pay the same annual fee to PBF Holding pursuant to the Services Agreement for the year ending December 31, 2021.

The Services Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Omnibus Agreement, provided that PBFX may terminate any service on 30-days’ notice.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Other Commitments

In addition to commitments related to lease obligations accounted for in accordance with ASC 842 and disclosed in “Note 13 - Leases”, the Company is party to third party agreements which provide for the treatment of wastewater and the supply of hydrogen and steam for certain of its refineries as well as minimum volume commitments under certain affiliate agreements with PBFX.

The fixed and determinable amounts related to obligations under these agreements are as follows:

Year Ending December 31,	(in millions)

2023	104.6
2024	99.5
2025	99.3
Thereafter	42.9
Total obligations	$	612.9

Employment Agreements

The Company has entered into various employment agreements with members of executive management and certain other key personnel that include automatic annual renewals, unless canceled. Under some of the agreements, certain of the executives would receive a lump sum payment of between 1.50 to 2.99 times their base salary and continuation of certain employee benefits for the same period upon termination by the Company “Without Cause”, or by the employee “For Good Reason”, or upon a “Change in Control”, as defined in the agreements. Upon death or disability, certain of the Company’s executives, or their estates, would receive a lump sum payment of at least one half of their base salary.

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, 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.

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 substantial 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 totaling $113.7 million as of December 31, 2020 ($121.3 million as of December 31, 2019), related to certain environmental remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and monitoring activities and other clean-up activities, which reflects the current estimated cost of the remediation obligations. 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 Company expects to make aggregate payments for this liability of approximately $52.7 million over the next five years.

The aggregate environmental liability reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets was $151.9 million and $132.2 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, of which $140.5 million and $119.9 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.

Applicable Federal and State Regulatory Requirements

The Company’s operations and many of the products it manufactures are subject to certain specific requirements of the Clean Air Act (the “CAA”) and related state and local regulations. The CAA contains provisions that require capital expenditures for the installation of certain air pollution control devices at the Company’s refineries. Subsequent rule making authorized by the CAA or similar laws or new agency interpretations of existing rules, may necessitate additional expenditures in future years.

In 2010, New York State adopted a Low-Sulfur Heating Oil mandate that, beginning July 1, 2012, requires all heating oil sold in New York State to contain no more than 15 parts per million (“PPM”) sulfur. Since July 1, 2012, other states in the Northeast market began requiring heating oil sold in their state to contain no more than 15 PPM sulfur. Currently, all of the Northeastern states and Washington DC have adopted sulfur controls on heating oil. Most of the Northeastern states require heating oil with 15 PPM or less sulfur. The mandate and other requirements are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

EPA issued the final Tier 3 Gasoline standards on March 3, 2014 under the CAA. This final rule establishes more stringent vehicle emission standards and further reduces the sulfur content of gasoline starting in January 2017. The new standard is set at 10 PPM sulfur in gasoline on an annual average basis starting January 1, 2017, with a credit trading program to provide compliance flexibility. EPA responded to industry comments on the proposed rule and maintained the per gallon sulfur cap on gasoline at the existing 80 PPM cap. The refineries are complying with these new requirements as planned, either directly or using flexibility provided by sulfur credits generated or purchased in advance as an economic optimization. The standards set by the new rule are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is required to comply with the renewable fuel standard implemented by EPA, which sets annual quotas for the quantity of renewable fuels (such as ethanol) that must be blended into motor fuels consumed in the United States (the “Renewable Fuel Standard”). In July 2018, EPA issued proposed amendments to the Renewable Fuel Standard program regulations that would establish annual percentage standards for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and renewable fuels that would apply to all gasoline and diesel produced in the U.S. or imported in the year 2019. In addition, the separate proposal includes a proposed biomass-based diesel applicable volume for 2020. It is likely that RIN production will continue to be lower than needed forcing obligated parties, such as the Company, to purchase cellulosic waiver credits or purchase excess RINs from suppliers on the open market.

EPA published a Final Rule to the Clean Water Act Section 316(b) in August 2014 regarding cooling water intake structures, which includes requirements for petroleum refineries. The purpose of this rule is to prevent fish from being trapped against cooling water intake screens (impingement) and to prevent fish from being drawn through cooling water systems (entrainment). Facilities will be required to implement best technology available as soon as possible, but state agencies have the discretion to establish implementation time lines. The Company has evaluated, and continues to evaluate, the impact of this regulation, and at this time does not expect this regulation to materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is subject to greenhouse gas emission control regulations in the state of California pursuant to AB32. AB32 imposes a statewide cap on greenhouse gas emissions, including emissions from transportation fuels, with the aim of returning the state to 1990 emission levels by 2020. AB32 is implemented through two market mechanisms including the Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Cap and Trade. The Company is responsible for the AB32 obligations related to the Torrance refinery beginning on July 1, 2016 and the Martinez refinery beginning on February 1, 2020 and must purchase emission credits to comply with these obligations. Additionally, in September 2016, the state of California enacted Senate Bill 32 (“SB32”) which further reduces greenhouse gas emissions targets to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. California Air Resources Board also amended the LCFS in 2018 to require a 20% reduction by 2030.

The Company recovers the majority of these costs from its customers, and does not expect these obligations to materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. To the degree there are unfavorable changes to AB32 or SB32 regulations or the Company is unable to recover such compliance costs from customers, these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company is subject to obligations to purchase RINs. On February 15, 2017, the Company received a notification that EPA records indicated that PBF Holding used potentially invalid RINs that were in fact verified under EPA’s RIN Quality Assurance Program (“QAP”) by an independent auditor as QAP A RINs. Under the regulations, use of potentially invalid QAP A RINs provided the user with an affirmative defense from civil penalties provided certain conditions are met. The Company has asserted the affirmative defense and if accepted by EPA will not be required to replace these RINs and will not be subject to civil penalties under the program. It is reasonably possible that EPA will not accept the Company’s defense and may assess penalties in these matters but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As of January 1, 2011, the Company is required to comply with EPA’s Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants From Mobile Sources, or MSAT2, regulations on gasoline that impose reductions in the benzene content of its produced gasoline. The Company purchases benzene credits to meet these requirements when necessary. The Company may implement capital projects to reduce the amount of benzene credits that the Company needs to purchase. In additions, the Renewable Fuel Standards mandate the blending of prescribed percentages of renewable fuels (e.g., ethanol and biofuels) into the Company’s produced gasoline and diesel. These requirements, other requirements of the CAA and other presently existing or future environmental regulations may cause the Company to make substantial capital expenditures as well as the purchase of credits at significant cost, to enable its refineries to produce products that meet applicable requirements.

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 the Company’s sites are subject to these laws and the Company 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 the Company’s current normal operations, it has 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.

The Company is also currently subject to certain other existing environmental claims and proceedings. The Company believes that there is only a remote possibility that future costs related to any of these other known contingent liability exposures would have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the Martinez Acquisition, the Sale and Purchase Agreement 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 the future earnings of 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 Company recorded the acquisition date fair value of the earn-out provision as contingent consideration of $77.3 million within “Other long-term liabilities” within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was no balance under the Martinez Contingent Consideration as of December 31, 2020, representing no anticipated future earn-out payments.

Tax Receivable Agreement

PBF Energy (the Company’s indirect parent) 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 or PBF Holding. 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 December 31, 2020 (99.0% as of December 31, 2019). 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. No liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement was recognized by PBF Energy as of December 31, 2020.

LEASES (Notes)

Leases [Abstract]

LEASES

LEASES

The Company leases office space, office equipment, refinery support facilities and equipment, railcars and other logistics assets primarily under non-cancelable operating leases, with terms typically ranging from one to twenty years, subject to certain renewal options as applicable. The Company considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Interest expense for finance leases is incurred based on the carrying value of the lease liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

For substantially all classes of underlying assets, the Company has elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components, which allows for combining the components if certain criteria are met. For certain leases of refinery support facilities, the Company accounts for the non-lease service component separately. There are no material residual value guarantees associated with any of the Company’s leases. There are no significant restrictions or covenants included in the Company’s lease agreements other than those that are customary in such arrangements. Certain of the Company’s leases, primarily for the Company’s commercial and logistics asset classes, include provisions for variable payments. These variable payments are typically determined based on a measure of throughput or actual days the asset has operated during the contract term or another measure of usage and are not included in the initial measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

Sale-leaseback Transactions

On April 17, 2020, the Company closed on the sale of five hydrogen plants to Air Products in a sale-leaseback transaction for gross cash proceeds of $530.0 million and recognized a gain of $471.1 million. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a transition services agreement through which Air Products will exclusively supply hydrogen, steam, carbon dioxide and other products (the “Products”) to the Martinez, Torrance and Delaware City refineries for a specified period (not expected to exceed 18 months). The transition services agreement also requires certain maintenance and operating activities to be provided by PBF Holding, for which the Company will be reimbursed, during the term of the agreement. In August 2020, the parties executed long-term supply agreements through which Air Products will supply the Products for a term of fifteen years at these same refineries. As a result of these transactions, the Company recorded lease right of use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities of approximately $504.0 million. There were no net gains or losses on any sale-leaseback transactions for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company has entered into certain leases that have not yet commenced. Such leases include a 15-year lease for water treatment equipment, with future lease payments estimated to total approximately $34.1 million, and is not expected to commence prior to April 1, 2021. No other such pending leases, either individually or in the aggregate, are material. There are no material lease arrangements in which the Company is the lessor.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into certain affiliate lease arrangements with PBFX for the use of certain storage, terminaling and pipeline assets. The Company believes the terms and conditions under these leases are generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. The terms for these affiliate leases generally range from seven to fifteen years. The Company uses the same methodology for discounting the lease payments on affiliate leases as it does for third party leases as described above. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , the Company incurred operating lease costs, related to affiliate operating leases, of $129.1 million and $130.0 million, respectively.

EQUITY STRUCTURE

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2020

Equity [Abstract]

EQUITY STRUCTURE

EQUITY STRUCTURE

PBF Holding has no common stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2020, 100% of the membership interests of PBF Holding were owned by PBF LLC, and PBF Finance had 100 shares of common stock outstanding, all of which were held by PBF Holding. The following sections represent the equity structure of the Company’s indirect and direct parents, PBF Energy and PBF LLC, respectively.

PBF Energy Capital Structure

PBF Energy Class A Common Stock

Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors of PBF Energy out of funds legally available therefore, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding preferred stock. Upon PBF Energy’s dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of shares of Class A common stock

will be entitled to receive pro rata remaining assets available for distribution. Holders of shares of Class A common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.

PBF Energy Class B Common Stock

Holders of shares of Class B common stock are entitled, without regard to the number of shares of Class B common stock held by such holder, to one vote for each PBF LLC Series A Unit beneficially owned by such holder. Accordingly, the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy collectively have a number of votes in PBF Energy that is equal to the aggregate number of PBF LLC Series A Units that they hold.

Holders of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Holders of Class B common stock do not have any right to receive dividends or to receive a distribution upon a liquidation or winding up of PBF Energy.

PBF Energy Preferred Stock

Authorized preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, with designations, powers and preferences as shall be designated by the Board of Directors.

PBF LLC Capital Structure

PBF LLC Series A Units

The allocation of profits and losses and distributions to PBF LLC Series A unitholders is governed by the limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC. These allocations are made on a pro rata basis with PBF LLC Series C Units. PBF LLC Series A unitholders do not have voting rights.

PBF LLC Series B Units

The PBF LLC Series B Units are intended to be “profit interests” within the meaning of Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43 of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and have a stated value of zero at issuance. The PBF LLC Series B Units are held by certain of the Company’s current and former officers, have no voting rights and are designed to increase in value only after the Company’s financial sponsors achieve certain levels of return on their investment in PBF LLC Series A Units. Accordingly, the amounts paid to the holders of PBF LLC Series B Units, if any, will reduce only the amounts otherwise payable to the PBF LLC Series A Units held by the Company’s financial sponsors, and will not reduce or otherwise impact any amounts payable to PBF Energy (the holder of PBF LLC Series C Units), the holders of PBF Energy’s Class A common stock or any other holder of PBF LLC Series A Units. The maximum number of PBF LLC Series B Units authorized to be issued is 1,000,000.

PBF LLC Series C Units

The PBF LLC Series C Units rank on a parity with the PBF LLC Series A Units as to distribution rights, voting rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. PBF LLC Series C Units are held solely by PBF Energy.

Noncontrolling Interest

Subsequent to the Chalmette Acquisition, PBF Holding recorded noncontrolling interests in two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining. PBF Holding, through Chalmette Refining, owns an 80% ownership interest in both Collins Pipeline Company and T&M Terminal Company. In both of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Company recorded earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest in these subsidiaries of less than $0.3 million.

PBF Energy options

PBF Energy grants stock options which represent the right to purchase share of PBF Energy’s common stock at its fair market value, which is the closing price of PBF Energy’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock options have a maximum term of ten years from the date they are granted, and vest over a requisite service period of three years, or four years for grants prior to November 2020, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted, which requires the input of subjective assumptions.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model values used to value stock option awards granted were determined based on the following weighted average assumptions: 

	December 31, 2020			December 31, 2019			December 31, 2018

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company grants restricted stock to employees and non-employee directors. In general, restricted stock granted to our employees vest over a requisite services period of four years, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances. Restricted stock recipients who received grants subsequent to May 2017 have voting rights; however, dividends are accrued and will be paid upon vesting. Restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors are considered to vest immediately at the time of the grant for accounting purposes, as they are non-forfeitable, but are issued in equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. The non-vested shares are not transferable and are held by our transfer agent. The fair values of restricted stock are equal to the market price of our common stock on the grant date.

The following table summarizes activity for PBF Energy restricted stock:

	Number of PBF Energy Restricted Class A Common Stock	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Performance Awards

The Company grants performance share awards, which are paid in stock, and performance share unit awards, which are paid in cash, (collectively, the “performance awards”) to certain key employees. Performance awards granted to employees prior to November 1, 2020 are based on a three-year performance cycle (the “performance cycle”) with four measurement periods, and performance awards granted to employees after November 1, 2020, are based on a three-year performance cycle having a single measurement period. The performance awards will vest on the last day of the performance cycle, subject to forfeiture or acceleration under certain circumstances set forth in the award agreement. The number of performance awards that will ultimately vest is based on the Company’s total shareholder return over the performance cycle. The number of shares ultimately issued or cash paid under these awards can range from zero to 200% of target award amounts.

Performance Share Unit Awards

The performance share unit awards are accounted for as equity awards, for which the fair value was determined on the grant date by application of a Monte Carlo valuation model.

The grant date fair value was calculated using a Monte Carlo valuation model with the following assumptions:

	December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Expected life (in years)	2.89 - 3.14		2.17 - 2.88		2.17
Expected volatility	39.88% - 82.63%		37.19% - 41.70%		39.04		%
Dividend yield	0.00% - 4.28%		3.40% - 3.67%		2.95		%
Risk-free rate of return	0.26% - 1.34%		1.66% - 2.51%		2.89		%
Weighted average grant-date fair value per PSU	$	10.77	$	27.99	$	50.23

The risk-free interest rate for the remaining performance period as of the grant date is based on a linear interpolation of published yields of traded U.S. Treasury Interest-Only STRIP Bonds. The dividend yield assumption is based on the annualized most recent quarterly dividend divided by the stock price on the grant date. The assumption for the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price reflects the average of PBF Energy’s common stock historical and implied volatility.

The following table summarizes activity for PBF Energy performance share awards:

	Number of PBF Energy Performance Share Units (“PSUs”)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2020	360,797	$	39.03
Granted	446,267	10.77
Vested (a)	(179,072)	50.23
Forfeited	(4,832)	33.01
Nonvested at December 31, 2020	623,160	$	15.62
(a) In 2020, PSU’s with fair value of $0.8 million were vested.

As of December 31, 2020, unrecognized compensation cost related to performance share unit awards was $6.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.20 years.

Performance Unit awards

The performance unit awards are dollar denominated with a target value of $1.00, with actual payout of up to $2.00 per unit (or 200 percent of target). The performance unit awards are settled in cash based on the payout amount determined at the end of the performance cycle. The Company accounts for the performance unit awards as liability awards which the Company recorded at fair market value on the date of grant. Subsequently, the performance unit awards will be marked-to-market at the end of each fiscal quarter by application of a Monte Carlo simulation model.

The following table summarizes activity for PBF Energy performance unit awards:

(in millions)	Number of PBF Energy Performance Units (in equivalent $’s)
Nonvested at January 1, 2020	$	15.1
Granted	8.5

Nonvested at December 31, 2020	$	16.1
(a) In 2020, Performance Units with fair value of $3.2 million were vested.

As of December 31, 2020, unrecognized compensation cost related to performance unit awards was $4.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.47 years.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company’s defined contribution plan covers all employees. Employees are eligible to participate as of the first day of the month following 30 days of service. Participants can make basic contributions up to 50 percent of their annual salary subject to IRS limits. The Company matches participants’ contributions at the rate of 200 percent of the first 3 percent of each participant’s total basic contribution based on the participant’s total annual salary. The Company’s contribution to the qualified defined contribution plans was $32.7 million, $27.5 million and $26.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Defined Benefit and Post-Retirement Medical Plans

The Company sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Qualified Plan”) with a policy to fund pension liabilities in accordance with the limits imposed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and Federal income tax laws. In addition, the Company sponsors a supplemental pension plan covering certain employees, which provides incremental payments that would have been payable from the Company’s principal pension plan, were it not for limitations imposed by income tax regulations (the “Supplemental Plan”). The funded status is measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation which is to be recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The plan assets and benefit obligations are measured as of the Consolidated Balance Sheet date.

The non-union Delaware City employees and all Paulsboro, Toledo, Chalmette, Torrance and Martinez employees became eligible to participate in the Company’s defined benefit plans as of the respective acquisition dates. The union Delaware City employees became eligible to participate in the Company’s defined benefit plans upon commencement of normal operations. The Company did not assume any of the employees’ pension liability accrued prior to the respective acquisitions.

The Company formed the Post-Retirement Medical Plan on December 31, 2010 to provide health care coverage continuation from date of retirement to age 65 for qualifying employees associated with the Paulsboro acquisition. The Company credited the qualifying employees with their prior service under Valero Energy Corporation which resulted in the recognition of a liability for the projected benefit obligation. The Post-Retirement Medical Plan was amended during 2013 to include all corporate employees, amended in 2014 to include Delaware City and Toledo employees, amended in 2015 to include Chalmette employees, amended in 2016 to include Torrance employees and amended in 2020 to include Martinez employees.

The changes in the benefit obligation, the changes in fair value of plan assets, and the funded status of the Company’s Pension and Post-Retirement Medical Plans as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

	Pension Plans				Post-Retirement Medical Plan

Funded status at end of year	$	(73.5)	$	(73.8)	$	(22.0)	$	(17.5)

The accumulated benefit obligations for the Company’s Pension Plans exceed the fair value of the assets of those plans at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The accumulated benefit obligation for the defined benefit plans approximated $281.5 million and $228.0 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Benefit payments, which reflect expected future services that the Company expects to pay are as follows for the years ended December 31:

(in millions)	Pension Benefits		Post-Retirement Medical Plan
2021	$	35.4	$	2.1
2022	20.4		2.0
2023	17.8		1.9
2024	20.4		1.7
2025	23.5		1.7
Years 2026-2030	156.2		7.8

The Company’s funding policy for its defined benefit plans is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet legal funding requirements, plus any additional amounts that may be appropriate considering the funded status of the plans, tax consequences, the cash flow generated by the Company and other factors. The Company plans to contribute approximately $55.3 million to the Company’s Pension Plans during 2021.

The components of net periodic benefit cost were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:

	Pension Benefits						Post-Retirement Medical Plan
(in millions)	2020		2019		2018		2020		2019		2018

Lump sum payments made by the Supplemental Plan to employees retiring in 2020, 2019 and 2018 did not exceed the Plan’s total service and interest costs expected for those years.

The pre-tax amounts recognized in other comprehensive (income) loss for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

The table below presents the fair values of the assets of the Company’s Qualified Plan as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 by level of fair value hierarchy. Assets categorized in Level 2 of the hierarchy consist of collective trusts and are measured at fair value based on the closing net asset value (“NAV”) as determined by the fund manager and reported daily. As noted above, the Company’s post-retirement medical plan is funded on a pay-as-you-go basis and has no assets.

Real Estate	13.3		8.3
Cash and cash equivalents	1.0		5.1
Total	$	255.8	$	197.4

The Company’s investment strategy for its Qualified Plan is to achieve a reasonable return on assets that supports the plan’s interest credit rating, subject to a moderate level of portfolio risk that provides liquidity. Consistent with these financial objectives as of December 31, 2020, the plan’s target allocations for plan assets are 54% invested in equity securities, 40% fixed income investments and 6% in real estate. Equity securities include international stocks and a blend of U.S. growth and value stocks of various sizes of capitalization. Fixed income securities include bonds and notes issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. The aggregate asset allocation is reviewed on an annual basis.

The overall expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for the Qualified Plan is based on the Company’s view of long-term expectations and asset mix.

Revenues [Abstract]

REVENUES

REVENUES

Adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, which has been applied for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment upon initially applying ASC 606 as there was not a significant impact upon adoption; however, the details of significant qualitative and quantitative disclosure changes upon implementing ASC 606 are detailed below.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The following table provides information relating to the Company’s revenues from external customers for each product or group of similar products for the periods presented:

	Year Ended December 31,
(in millions)	2020		2019		2018
Gasoline and distillates	$	12,799.4	$	21,278.4	$	23,032.6
Feedstocks and other	935.5		806.9		1,374.2
Asphalt and blackoils	777.9		1,426.4		1,592.9
Chemicals	351.5		682.3		842.8
Lubricants	180.7		274.9		321.5
Total Revenues	$	15,045.0	$	24,468.9	$	27,164.0

The majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from the sale of refined petroleum products. 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 Company 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 the Company’s adoption of ASC 606.

Deferred Revenues

The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or are due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable. Deferred revenue was $45.1 million and $17.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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.

Significant Judgment and Practical Expedients

For performance obligations related to sales of products, the Company has determined that customers are able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at the point in time that the products are delivered. The Company has determined that the transfer of control upon delivery to the customer’s requested destination accurately depicts the transfer of goods. Upon the delivery of the products and transfer of control, the Company generally has the present right to payment and the customers bear the risks and rewards of ownership of the products. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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 December 31, 2020 and 2019.

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 Consolidated Balance Sheets.

	As of December 31, 2020

Derivatives included with inventory intermediation agreement obligations	—		1.3		—		1.3		—	1.3

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.

•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 obligation at December 31, 2020 is categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and is 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, $21.2 million and $10.3 million, respectively, were included within Deferred charges and other assets, net for these non-qualified pension plan assets.

_______________

(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) As disclosed in “Note 9 - Credit Facilities and Debt”, the 2023 Senior Notes were redeemed in full on February 14, 2020.

(c) 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.

(d) 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.

DERIVATIVES

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVES

DERIVATIVESThe Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures to commodity price risk. The Company entered into the Inventory Intermediation Agreements 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 December 31, 2020, there were no barrels of crude oil and feedstocks (27,580 barrels at December 31, 2019) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges. As of December 31, 2020, there were 2,604,736 barrels of intermediates and refined products (3,430,635 barrels at December 31, 2019) 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 December 31, 2020, there were 7,183,000 barrels of crude oil and 2,810,000 barrels of refined products (5,511,000 and 5,788,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2019), 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.

The following tables provide information about the fair values of these derivative instruments as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in which the fair values are reflected.

Dec. 31, 2020

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation

Principles of Consolidation and PresentationThese Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PBF Holding and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cost Classifications

Cost Classifications

Cost of products and other consists of the cost of crude oil, other feedstocks, blendstocks and purchased refined products and the related in-bound freight and transportation costs.

Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) consists of direct costs of labor, maintenance and services, utilities, property taxes, environmental compliance costs and other direct operating costs incurred in connection with our refining operations. Such expenses exclude depreciation related to refining and logistics assets that are integral to the refinery production process, which is presented separately as Depreciation and amortization expense as a component of Cost of sales on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Reclassification, Policy

Reclassification

As of December 31, 2020, Financing lease right of use assets - third party, previously included in Deferred charges and other assets, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are reflected within Lease right of use assets - third party, which is inclusive of all third party lease right of use assets. Financing lease liabilities - third party, previously included in Other long-term liabilities, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are presented as separate line items in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The amounts related to such balance sheet accounts have also been reclassified in their respective footnotes for prior periods to conform to the 2020 presentation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy

Impairment Assessment

The global crisis resulting from the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a substantial impact on the economy and overall consumer demand for energy and hydrocarbon products. As a result of the enduring throughput reductions across the Company’s refineries and continued decrease in demand for the Company’s products, the Company determined an impairment triggering event had occurred as of December 31, 2020. As such, the Company performed an impairment assessment on its long-lived assets as of December 31, 2020. As a result of the impairment test, the Company concluded that the carrying values of its long-lived assets were not impaired when comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets over their remaining estimated useful life.

In connection with the Company’s ongoing strategic response plan to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and its East Coast Refining Reconfiguration (as defined in “Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment, net”), it recorded an impairment charge of approximately $91.8 million associated to the write-down of certain assets and project abandonments. Refer to “Note 6 - Property, Plant and Equipment, net” for further details.

If adverse market conditions persist or there is further deterioration in the general economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there could be additional indicators that the Company’s assets are impaired requiring evaluation that may result in future impairment charges to earnings.

Business Combinations

Business Combinations

We use the acquisition method of accounting for the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Any excess consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired. As a result, in the case of significant acquisitions, we obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists in estimating fair values of tangible and intangible assets based on available historical information and on expectations and assumptions about the future, considering the perspective of marketplace participants. While management believes those expectations and assumptions are reasonable, they are inherently uncertain. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.

Certain of the Company’s acquisitions may include earn-out provisions or other forms of contingent consideration. As of the acquisition date, the Company records contingent consideration, as applicable, at the estimated fair value of expected future payments associated with the earn-out. Any changes to the recorded fair value of contingent consideration, subsequent to the measurement period, will be recognized as earnings in the period in which it occurs.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of the cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of those instruments.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

For the year ended December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues (approximately 13%). For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 no single customer amounted to greater than or equal to 10% of the Company’s revenues.

As of December 31, 2020, only one customer, Royal Dutch Shell, accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable (approximately 17%). No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019.

Revenue, Deferred Revenue and Accounts Receivable

Revenue, Deferred Revenue and Accounts Receivable

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The Company sells various refined products primarily through its refinery subsidiaries and recognizes revenue related to the sale of products when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Refer to “Note 17 - Revenues” for further discussion of the Company’s revenue recognition policy, including deferred revenues and the practical expedients elected as part of the transition to ASC 606.

During 2019, PBF Holding and its subsidiaries, DCR and PRC, entered into amendments to the existing inventory intermediation agreements (as amended in the first quarter of 2019 and amended and restated in the third quarter of 2019, the “Inventory Intermediation Agreements”) with J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“J. Aron”), pursuant to which certain terms of the existing inventory intermediation agreements were amended, including, among other things, the maturity date. On March 29, 2019 the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR was amended to add the PBFX assets acquired from Crown Point International, LLC in October 2018 (the “East Coast Storage Assets”) as a location and crude oil as a new product type to be included in the J. Aron Products (as defined in “Note 5 - Inventories”) sold to J. Aron by DCR. On August 29, 2019 the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and PRC was extended to December 31, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2022 and the Inventory Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, PBF Holding and DCR was extended to June 30, 2021, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to June 30, 2022.

Pursuant to each Inventory Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron purchases and holds title to the J. Aron Products produced by the refinery and delivered into the J. Aron Storage Tanks (as defined in “Note 5 - Inventories”). The J. Aron Products are sold back to the Company as the J. Aron Products are discharged out of the J. Aron Storage Tanks. These purchases and sales are settled monthly at the daily 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 East Coast refineries to J. Aron. Additionally, J. Aron has the right to store the J. Aron Products purchased in J. Aron Storage Tanks under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements and will retain these storage rights for the term of the agreements. PBF Holding continues to market and sell the J. Aron Products independently to third parties.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are carried at invoiced amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established, if required, to report such amounts at their estimated net realizable value. In estimating probable losses, management reviews accounts that are past due and determines if there are any known disputes. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Excise Taxes

Excise taxes on sales of refined products that are collected from customers and remitted to various governmental agencies are reported on a net basis.

Inventory

Inventory

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of crude oil, feedstocks, blendstocks and refined products are determined under the last-in first-out (“LIFO”) method using the dollar value LIFO method with increments valued based on average purchase prices during the year. The cost of supplies and other inventories is determined principally on the weighted average cost method.

Lessee, Leases

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), using the modified retrospective approach. As of the date of implementation on January 1, 2019, the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets of approximately $853.9 million of which $604.4 million is attributable to leases with affiliates.

The Company leases office space, office equipment, refinery facilities and equipment, railcars and other logistics assets primarily under non-cancelable operating leases, with terms typically ranging from one to twenty years, subject to certain renewal options as applicable. The Company considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Interest expense for finance leases is incurred based on the carrying value of the lease liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

For substantially all classes of underlying assets, the Company has elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components, which allows for combining the components if certain criteria are met. For certain leases of refinery support facilities, the Company accounts for the non-lease service component separately.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment additions are recorded at cost. The Company capitalizes costs associated with the preliminary, pre-acquisition and development/construction stages of a major construction project. The Company capitalizes the interest cost associated with major construction projects based on the effective interest rate of total borrowings. The Company also capitalizes costs incurred in the acquisition and development of software for internal use, including the costs of software, materials, consultants and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in the application development stage.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Process units and equipment	5-25 years
Pipeline and equipment	5-25 years
Buildings	25 years
Computers, furniture and fixtures	3-7 years
Leasehold improvements	20 years
Railcars	50 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred. Improvements and betterments, which extend the lives of the assets, are capitalized.

Deferred Charges and Other Assets, Net

Deferred Charges and Other Assets, Net

Deferred charges and other assets include refinery turnaround costs, catalyst, precious metal catalysts, linefill, deferred financing costs and intangible assets. Refinery turnaround costs, which are incurred in connection with planned major maintenance activities, are capitalized when incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of time estimated to lapse until the next turnaround occurs. The amortization period generally ranges from 3 to 6 years; however, based upon the specific facts and circumstances, different periods of deferral occur.

As a result of the East Coast Refining Reconfiguration (as defined in “Note - 6 Property, Plant and Equipment, net), certain major processing units were temporarily idled. As such, the Company accelerated the recognition of approximately $56.2 million of unamortized deferred turnaround costs associated with these idled units.

Precious metal catalysts, linefill and certain other intangibles are considered indefinite-lived assets as they are not expected to deteriorate in their prescribed functions. Such assets are assessed for impairment in connection with the Company’s review of its long-lived assets.

Deferred financing costs are capitalized when incurred and amortized over the life of the loan (generally 1 to 8 years).

Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite lives primarily consist of emission credits and permits and are amortized over their estimated useful lives (generally 1 to 10 years).

Long-Lived Assets and Definite-Lived Intangibles

Long-Lived Assets and Definite-Lived Intangibles

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment is evaluated by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets and their ultimate disposition. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of the long-lived assets is not considered to be recoverable, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value.

Impairment assessments inherently involve judgment as to assumptions about expected future cash flows and the impact of market conditions on those assumptions. Although management utilizes assumptions that it believes are reasonable, future events and changing market conditions may impact management’s assumptions, which could produce different results.

Investments in Equity Method Investments

Investments in Equity Method Investments

For equity investments that are not required to be consolidated under the variable or voting interest model, the Company evaluates the level of influence it is able to exercise over an entity’s operations to determine whether to use the equity method of accounting. The Company’s judgment regarding the level of control over an equity method investment includes considering key factors such as its ownership interest, participation in policy-making and other significant decisions and material intercompany transactions. Amounts recognized for equity method investments are included in equity method investments in the consolidated balance sheet and adjusted for the Company’s share of the net earnings and losses of the investee and cash distributions, which are included in the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows. Amounts recognized for earnings in excess of distributions of the Company’s equity method investments are included in the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. A loss is recorded in earnings in the current period to write down the carrying value of the investment to fair value if a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company records an asset retirement obligation at fair value for the estimated cost to retire a tangible long-lived asset at the time the Company incurs that liability, which is generally when the asset is purchased, constructed, or leased. The Company records the liability when it has a legal or contractual obligation to incur costs to retire the asset and when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability can be made. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made at the time the liability is incurred, the Company will record the liability when sufficient information is available to estimate the liability’s fair value. Certain of the Company’s asset retirement obligations are based on its legal obligation to perform remedial activity at its refinery sites when it permanently ceases operations of the long-lived assets. The Company therefore considers the settlement date of these obligations to be indeterminable. Accordingly, the Company cannot calculate an associated asset retirement liability for these obligations at this time. The Company will measure and recognize the fair value of these asset retirement obligations when the settlement date is determinable.

Environmental Matters

Environmental Matters

Liabilities for future remediation costs are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Other than for assessments, the timing and magnitude of these accruals generally are based on the completion of investigations or other studies or a commitment to a formal plan of action. Environmental liabilities are based on best estimates of probable future costs using currently available technology and applying current regulations, as well as the Company’s own internal environmental policies. The measurement of environmental remediation liabilities may be discounted to reflect the time value of money if the aggregate amount and timing of cash payments of the liabilities are fixed or reliably determinable. The actual settlement of the Company’s liability for environmental matters could materially differ from its estimates due to a number of uncertainties such as the extent of contamination, changes in environmental laws and regulations, potential improvements in remediation technologies and the participation of other responsible parties.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation includes the accounting effect of options to purchase PBF Energy Class A common stock granted by PBF Energy to certain PBF Holding employees, Series A warrants issued or granted by PBF LLC to employees in connection with their acquisition of PBF LLC Series A units, options to acquire Series A units of PBF LLC granted by PBF LLC to certain employees, Series B units of PBF LLC that were granted to certain members of management and restricted PBF LLC Series A Units and restricted PBF Energy Class A common stock granted to certain directors and officers. The estimated fair value of the options to purchase PBF Energy Class A common stock and the PBF LLC Series A warrants and options, is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of the PBF LLC Series B units is estimated based on a Monte Carlo simulation model. The estimated fair value is amortized as stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line method over the vesting period and included in General and administrative expense with forfeitures recognized in the period they occur.

PBF Energy grants performance share unit awards and performance unit awards to certain key employees. Performance awards granted to employees prior to November 1, 2020 are based on a three-year performance cycle with four measurement periods and performance awards granted to employees after November 1, 2020 are based on a three-year performance cycle having a single measurement period. The payout for each, which ranges from 0% to 200%, is based on the relative ranking of the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of PBF Energy’s common stock as compared to the TSR of a selected group of industry peer companies over an average of four measurement periods. The performance share unit awards and performance unit awards are each measured at fair value based on Monte Carlo simulation models. The performance share unit awards will be settled in PBF Energy Class A common stock and are accounted for as equity awards and the performance unit awards will be settled in cash and are accounted for as liability awards.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

As PBF Holding is a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, there is no benefit or expense for federal or state income tax in the accompanying financial statements apart from the income taxes attributable to two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the acquisition of Chalmette Refining and the Company’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, PBF Energy Limited (“PBF Ltd.”). These subsidiaries are treated as C-corporations for tax purposes.

The State tax returns for all years since 2015 are subject to examination by the respective tax authorities.

Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits

Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits

The Company recognizes an asset for the overfunded status or a liability for the underfunded status of its pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The funded status is recorded within Other long-term liabilities or assets. Changes in the plans’ funded status are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period the change occurs.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement

A fair value hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3) is used to categorize fair value amounts based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value. Accordingly, fair values derived from Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values derived from Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair values of its applicable assets and liabilities. When available, the Company measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. In some valuations, the inputs may fall into different levels in the hierarchy. In these cases, the asset or liability level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined based on the Company’s assessment of available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The Company’s non-derivative financial instruments that are included in current assets and current liabilities are recorded at cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s commodity contracts are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 1 inputs based on quoted prices in an active market, Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices for similar instruments, or Level 3 inputs based on third-party sources and other available market based data. The Company’s catalyst obligations and derivatives related to the Company’s crude oil and feedstocks and refined product purchase obligations are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs on a recurring basis, based on observable market prices for similar instruments.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to market risk, primarily related to changes in commodity prices for the crude oil and feedstocks used in the refining process as well as the prices of the refined products sold and the risk associated with the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. The accounting treatment for commodity and environmental compliance contracts depends on the intended use of the particular contract and on whether or not the contract meets the definition of a derivative.

All derivative instruments, not designated as normal purchases or sales, are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that either are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment or normal purchase or normal sale accounting are recognized currently in earnings. Contracts qualifying for the normal purchase and sales exemption are accounted for upon settlement. Cash flows related to derivative instruments that are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are included in operating activities.

The Company designates certain derivative instruments as fair value hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability. At the inception of the hedge designation, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Derivative gains and losses related to these fair value hedges, including hedge ineffectiveness, are recorded in cost of sales along with the change in fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk. Cash flows related to derivative instruments that are designated as fair value hedges are included in operating activities.

Economic hedges are hedges not designated as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes that are used to (i) manage price volatility in certain refinery feedstock and refined product inventories, and (ii) manage price volatility in certain forecasted refinery feedstock purchases and refined product sales. These instruments are recorded at fair value and changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized currently in cost of sales.

Derivative accounting is complex and requires management judgment in the following respects: identification of derivatives and embedded derivatives, determination of the fair value of derivatives, documentation of hedge relationships, assessment and measurement of hedge ineffectiveness and election and designation of the normal purchases and sales exception. All of these judgments, depending upon their timing and effect, can have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20)”, to improve the effectiveness of benefit plan disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, for public business entities and early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2020, which did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to “Note 16 - Employee Benefits Plans” for further disclosure related to our adoption of this pronouncement.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). This guidance amends the guidance on measuring credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2020, which did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to “Note 4 - Current Expected Credit Losses” for further disclosure related to our adoption of this pronouncement.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued 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 relationship and other transactions affected by the expected market transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank rates. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities at any time beginning on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied from the beginning of an interim period that includes the issuance date of the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

(b) As disclosed in “Note 9 - Credit Facilities and Debt”, the 2023 Senior Notes were redeemed in full on February 14, 2020.

(c) 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.

(d) 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.

[1] The Amended and Restated Rail Agreements, as amended and effective as of January 1, 2018, include the Amended and Restated Delaware City Rail Terminaling Services Agreement and the Amended and Restated Delaware West Ladder Rack Terminaling Services Agreement, each between Delaware City Terminaling Company LLC (“DCTC”) and PBF Holding, with the service fees thereunder being adjusted, including the addition of an ancillary fee paid by PBF Holding on an actual cost basis. In determining payments due under the Amended and Restated Rail Agreements, excess volumes throughput under the agreements shall apply against required payments in respect to the minimum throughput commitments on a quarterly basis and, to the extent not previously applied, on an annual basis against the MVCs. Effective January 1, 2019, the existing Amended and Restated Rail Agreements were further amended for the inclusion of services through certain rail infrastructure at the East Coast Storage Assets.

[2] These commercial agreements with PBFX are considered leases.

[3] Reflects the overall capacity as stipulated by the storage agreement. The storage MVC is subject to the effective operating capacity of each tank, which can be impacted by routine tank maintenance and other factors. PBF Holding’s available shell capacity may be subject to change as agreed to by PBF Holding and PBFX.

[4] In connection with the inclusion of an additional destination at the Magellan connection under the Delaware Pipeline Services Agreement, PBF Holding and Delaware Pipeline Company LLC agreed to a two-year, five-month MVC (the “Magellan MVC”) under the Delaware Pipeline Services Agreement. The Magellan MVC expired on March 31, 2019, subsequent to which PBFX has been billing actual throughput on the Magellan connection.

[5] Subsequent to the PBFX acquisition of the Toledo, Ohio refined products terminal assets (the “Toledo Products Terminal”), the Toledo Products Terminal was added to the East Coast Terminals Terminaling Services Agreements.

[6] The East Coast Terminals Terminaling Services Agreements have no MVCs and are billed based on actual volumes throughput, other than a terminaling services agreement between PBFX’s East Coast Terminals’ Paulsboro, New Jersey location and PBF Holding’s Paulsboro refinery with a 15,000 bpd MVC.

[7] The East Coast Terminals related party agreements include varying initial term lengths, ranging from one to five years.

[8] In connection with the TVPC Acquisition on May 31, 2019, the Torrance Valley Pipeline Transportation Services Agreement- South Pipeline was amended and restated to increase the MVC from 70,000 bpd to 75,000 bpd.

[9] Under the Toledo Rail Loading Agreement, PBF Holding has minimum throughput commitments for (i) 30 railcars per day of products and (ii) 11.5 railcars per day of premium products. The Toledo Rail Loading Agreement also specifies a maximum throughput rate of 50 railcars per day.

[1] (d) 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.

[2] (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) As disclosed in “Note 9 - Credit Facilities and Debt”, the 2023 Senior Notes were redeemed in full on February 14, 2020.

[3] (c) 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.
