Item 2.02    Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
As previously announced, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2017, HollyFrontier Corporation (“HollyFrontier”) operations are organized into three reportable segments, Refining, Lubricants and Specialty Products and HEP. The Refining segment includes the operations of HollyFrontier’s El Dorado, Tulsa, Navajo, Cheyenne and Woods Cross Refineries and HollyFrontier Asphalt. The Lubricants and Specialty Products segment includes the operations of HollyFrontier’s Petro-Canada Lubricants business in addition to specialty lubricant products produced at HollyFrontier’s Tulsa Refinery. The HEP segment involves all of the operations of Holly Energy Partners, L.P.
HollyFrontier revised the following refining segment operating data computations: refinery gross margin; net operating margin; and operating expenses to better align with similar measurements provided by other companies in its industry and to facilitate comparison of its refining performance relative to its peers. Effective with this change, these measurements are now inclusive of all refining segment activities, including HollyFrontier asphalt operations and revenues and costs related to products purchased for resale and excess crude oil sales.
In order to provide historical refining segment operating data on a basis consistent with its new measurement structure, HollyFrontier revised its refining segment operating data for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended December 31, 2016 in HollyFrontier’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2017 and/or in HollyFrontier’s Earnings Release issued February 21, 2018, to conform to its new measurement structure. This revised data has no impact on HollyFrontier’s earnings or earnings per share in any period.
Furnished as Exhibit 99.1 is a supplemental schedule containing unaudited refining segment operating data for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017. The operating data contained in Exhibit 99.1 does not represent a restatement or reissuance of previously issued financial statements.
The information in this Item 2.02, including the exhibits in Item 9.01, should be read in conjunction with HollyFrontier’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and HollyFrontier’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017.
Item 7.01     Regulation FD Disclosure.
Furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01 in its entirety is a copy of the supplemental schedule containing unaudited refining segment information for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017.

Revised Refining Segment Operating Data
During the fourth quarter of 2017, we revised the following refining segment operating data computations: refinery gross margin; net operating margin; and operating expenses to better align with similar measurements provided by other companies in our industry and to facilitate comparison of our refining performance relative to our peers. Effective with this change, these measurements are now inclusive of all refining segment activities including HFC asphalt operations and revenues and costs related to products purchased for resale and excess crude oil sales. All prior period data included below has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect our current presentation.

(1)
Crude charge represents the barrels per day of crude oil processed at our refineries.            
(2)
Refinery throughput represents the barrels per day of crude and other refinery feedstocks input to the crude units and other conversion units at our refineries.    
(3)
Represents barrels sold of refined products produced at our refineries (including HFC Asphalt) and does not include volumes of refined products purchased for resale or volumes of excess crude oil sold.            
(5)
Represents average amount per produced barrel sold, which is a non-GAAP measure. Reconciliations to amounts reported under GAAP are provided below.     
(6)
Excludes lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments.                    
(7)
Represents total refining segment operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, divided by sales volumes of refined products produced at our refineries.


Exhibit 99.1

Reconciliations of refinery operating information (non-GAAP performance measures) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.

Refinery gross margin and net operating margin are non-GAAP performance measures that are used by our management and others to compare our refining performance to that of other companies in our industry. We believe these margin measures are helpful to investors in evaluating our refining performance on a relative and absolute basis. Refinery gross margin per produced barrel sold is total refining segment revenues less total refining segment cost of products sold, exclusive of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, divided by sales volumes of produced refined products sold. Net operating margin per barrel sold is the difference between refinery gross margin and refinery operating expenses per barrel sold. These two margins do not include the non-cash effects of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, goodwill and asset impairment charges or depreciation and amortization. Each of these component performance measures can be reconciled directly to our consolidated statements of income. Other companies in our industry may not calculate these performance measures in the same manner.

Below are reconciliations to total sales and other revenues and operating expenses in our consolidated statements of income for refinery net operating and gross margin and operating expenses, in each case averaged per produced barrel sold. Due to rounding of reported numbers, some amounts may not calculate exactly.
