REFINING

Tesoro Refinery Locations

Overview

We currently own and operate seven petroleum refineries located in the western United States and sell transportation fuels to a wide variety of customers. During 2012, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with BP West Coast Products, LLC and certain other sellers to purchase BP’s integrated Southern California refining and marketing business, (the “Carson Acquisition”), which includes BP’s 266 thousand barrels per day (“Mbpd”) Carson refinery. See additional discussion below under Refining Acquisition. In addition, we recently announced that we will cease refining operations at our Hawaii refinery in April 2013, and begin the process of converting the refinery to an import, storage and distribution terminal. See additional discussion below under Mid-Pacific Refinery.

Our refineries produce a high proportion of the transportation fuels that we sell. Our seven refineries have a combined crude oil capacity of 675 Mbpd. Crude oil capacity and throughput rates of crude oil and other feedstocks by refinery are as follows:

		Throughput (Mbpd)
Refinery	Crude Oil Capacity (Mbpd)	2012	2011	2010
California
Martinez	166	138	140	124
Wilmington	97	104	101	99
Pacific Northwest
Washington (a)	120	107	98	39
Alaska	72	48	55	54
Mid-Pacific
Hawaii	94	68	71	64
Mid-Continent
North Dakota	68	64	59	50
Utah	58	56	55	50
Total (b)	675	585	579	480

________________

(a) Our Washington refinery was temporarily shut down from April 2010 to November 2010.

(b) See discussion regarding changes in total refining throughput in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7. Total capacity has not been reduced to reflect the planned closure of our Hawaii refinery in April 2013.

Feedstock Purchases.  We purchase crude oil and other feedstocks from domestic and foreign sources either through term agreements with renewal provisions or in the spot market. We purchase approximately 36% of our crude oil under term agreements with renewal options, which are primarily short-term agreements priced at market. We purchase domestic crude oil produced primarily in California, North Dakota and Alaska. We purchase foreign crude oil produced primarily in South America, Russia and Canada. Sources of our crude oil purchases were as follows:

Crude Oil Source	2012		2011		2010
Domestic	59	%	58	%	65	%
Foreign	41		42		35
Total	100	%	100	%	100	%

Our refineries process both heavy and light crude oil. Light crude oil, when refined, produces a higher proportion of high value transportation fuels such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, and as a result are typically more expensive than heavy crude oil. In contrast, heavy crude oil produces more low value by-products and heavy residual oils. These lower value products can be upgraded to higher value products through additional, more complex and expensive refining processes. Throughput volumes by feedstock type and region are summarized below (in Mbpd):

	2012		2011		2010

California Refineries

Martinez

Refining.  Our 166 Mbpd Martinez refinery is located in Martinez, California on approximately 2,200 acres about 30 miles east of San Francisco. In 2012, we sourced crude oil for our Martinez refinery from California, South America, Russia and other foreign and domestic locations. We also supplied the refinery with limited amounts of Bakken crude oil and intermediate feedstocks. The refinery’s major processing units include crude distillation, vacuum distillation, delayed coking, hydrocracking, naphtha reforming, hydrotreating, fluid catalytic cracking and alkylation units. The refinery produces a high proportion of transportation fuels, including cleaner-burning California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) gasoline and CARB diesel fuel, as well as conventional gasoline and diesel fuel. The refinery also produces heavy fuel oils, liquefied petroleum gas and petroleum coke.

Logistics.  We receive crude oil through the Martinez crude oil marine terminal operated by TLLP, which is located on land leased by us near our Martinez refinery. We lease an additional marine terminal, which includes a dock and related pipelines and receives refined products from the refinery through interconnecting pipelines for delivery to third-party marine vessels. This facility provides access through the San Francisco Bay, enabling us to ship and receive refined products and receive crude oil.  The refinery can also receive or ship crude oil and refined products through a third-party marine terminal at Martinez.  In addition, we receive California crude oil and ship refined products via truck and third-party pipelines while liquefied petroleum gases are transported via truck or rail.  

We operate a refined products terminal at our Martinez refinery, which includes a truck loading rack with three loading bays that allows us to receive refined products through interconnecting pipelines from the refinery. Additionally, TLLP operates a leased refined products terminal in Stockton, California. We distribute refined products through these and third-party terminals in our market areas and through purchase and exchange arrangements with other refining and marketing companies. We also lease third-party clean product tanks with access to the San Francisco Bay.

Wilmington

Refining.  Our 97 Mbpd Wilmington refinery is located in Wilmington, California on approximately 300 acres about 20 miles south of Los Angeles. In 2012, we sourced crude oil for our Wilmington refinery from California as well as foreign locations. The Wilmington refinery also processes intermediate feedstocks. The refinery’s major processing units include crude distillation, vacuum distillation, delayed coking, hydrocracking, naphtha reforming, hydrotreating, fluid catalytic cracking, butane isomerization and alkylation units. The refinery produces a high proportion of transportation fuels, including CARB gasoline and CARB diesel fuel, as well as conventional gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel. The refinery also produces heavy fuel oils, liquefied petroleum gas and petroleum coke.

Logistics.  Our Washington refinery receives Canadian crude oil through a third-party pipeline originating in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We also recently completed construction of a 50 Mbpd crude oil rail car unloading facility which allows us to receive Bakken crude oil into the Anacortes refinery. Construction was completed in September 2012 with throughput ramping up to more than 40 Mpbd by the end of the year. We sold the rail unloading facility to TLLP in November 2012 for $180 million. We also receive crude oil and feedstocks through our Washington refinery’s crude oil and refined products marine terminal, which includes four storage tanks for crude and heavy products. Butanes and crude oil are received via rail, and propane is transported via rail and truck from the refinery.

The refinery ships gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel through a third-party pipeline system, which serves western Washington and Oregon. We also deliver refined products through our marine terminal via ships and barges to West Coast and other Pacific Rim markets. We operate truck terminals for distillates, propane and asphalt at our Washington refinery and a refined products terminal at Port Angeles, Washington, all of which are supplied primarily by our refinery. We also distribute refined products through third-party terminals in our market areas, and through purchases and exchange arrangements with other refining and marketing companies.

Alaska

Refining.  Our 72 Mbpd Alaska refinery is located on the Cook Inlet near Kenai on approximately 450 acres about 60 miles southwest of Anchorage. In 2012, we sourced crude oil for our Alaska refinery from Alaska and foreign locations. The refinery’s major processing units include crude distillation, vacuum distillation, distillate hydrocracking, hydrotreating, naphtha reforming, diesel desulfurizing and light naphtha isomerization units, which produce transportation fuels, including gasoline and gasoline blendstocks, jet fuel and diesel fuel, as well as other products, including heating oil, heavy fuel oils, liquefied petroleum gas and asphalt.

Logistics.  We receive crude oil into our Kenai marine terminal, which includes a single-berth dock and storage facility with five crude oil storage tanks, by tanker and through our owned and operated crude oil pipeline. We operate two crude oil pipelines, an 18-mile line from Swanson River field and a 4-mile line from the Middle Ground Shoals on the east side of Cook Inlet. We also own and operate a common-carrier refined products pipeline that runs from the Alaska refinery to TLLP and third-party terminal facilities in Anchorage and to the Anchorage International Airport. This 69-mile pipeline has the capacity to transport approximately 48 Mbpd of refined products and allows us to transport gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel. Both of our owned pipelines are subject to regulation by various state and local agencies. We also deliver refined products through our Kenai marine terminal and from the Port of Anchorage marine facility to customers via ships and barges.

We operate a refined products terminal at Nikiski, which includes a truck loading rack with two loading bays and six above-ground refined products storage tanks, and is supplied by our Alaska refinery. Additionally, our Alaska refinery supplies fuels to TLLP’s Anchorage terminal. We also distribute refined products through a third-party terminal, which is supplied through an exchange arrangement with another refining company.

Mid-Pacific Refinery

Hawaii

In January 2013, we announced that we intend to cease refining operations at our Hawaii refinery in April 2013, and begin the process of converting the refinery to an import, storage and distribution terminal. We plan to maintain the existing distribution system to support marketing operations and fulfill supply commitments while continuing to offer the terminal, distribution and retail assets for sale. The Hawaii operations include our 94 Mbpd Kapolei refinery located on 130 acres about 20 miles west of Honolulu. The refinery is supported by a network of logistics assets and approximately 30 retail stations.

Logistics.  We transport crude oil to Hawaii in tankers, which discharge through our single-point mooring, approximately two miles offshore from the refinery. Our three underwater pipelines from the single-point mooring allow crude oil and refined products to be transferred to and from the refinery. We own and operate a refined products pipeline from our Hawaii refinery to the Sand Island terminal, which we operate, and to third-party terminals on the island of Oahu. Furthermore, our four refined products pipelines connect the Hawaii refinery to Barbers Point Harbor, approximately three miles away, where refined products are loaded on ships and barges to transport to the neighboring islands. The Barbers Point Harbor pipelines are also connected to other third-party origination and destination points. We operate a proprietary trucking business at our Hawaii refinery to transport refined products to other customers.

8

We operate refined products terminals on Maui and on the Big Island of Hawaii and operate a diesel terminal on Oahu. We also have an aviation fuel terminal on Kauai, and distribute refined products from our refinery to customers through third-party terminals in our market areas.

Mid-Continent Refineries

North Dakota

Refining.  Our 68 Mbpd North Dakota refinery is located on the Missouri River near Mandan on approximately 950 acres. In 2012, we supplied our North Dakota refinery primarily with Bakken crude oil. The refinery also has the ability to access other crude oil supplies, including Canadian crude oil. The refinery’s major processing units include crude distillation, fluid catalytic cracking, naphtha reforming, hydrotreating and alkylation units, which produce transportation fuels, including gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel, as well as other products, including heavy fuel oils and liquefied petroleum gas.

We completed a project to expand the crude oil throughput capacity at our North Dakota refinery from 58 to 68 Mbpd in 2012. The expansion allows the refinery to process additional crude oil from the nearby Williston Basin delivered via TLLP’s crude oil gathering system in North Dakota and Montana (the “High Plains System”).

Logistics.  Our North Dakota refinery’s crude oil supply is gathered and transported to us by TLLP’s High Plains System. This system includes both pipeline and truck gathered barrels and can also supply crude oil from other sources, including Canada, through third-party pipeline connections.

We distribute a significant portion of our refinery’s production through a third-party refined products pipeline system, which serves various areas from Mandan, North Dakota to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Most of the gasoline and distillate products from our refinery can be shipped through that pipeline system to third-party terminals. We also distribute our refined products through TLLP’s terminal at our North Dakota refinery and through third-party terminals in our market area.

Utah

Refining.  Our 58 Mbpd Utah refinery is located in Salt Lake City on approximately 150 acres. In 2012, we sourced our crude oil for our Utah refinery primarily from Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Canada. The refinery’s major processing units include crude distillation, fluid catalytic cracking, naphtha reforming, hydrotreating and alkylation units, which produce transportation fuels, including gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel, as well as other products, including heavy fuel oils and liquefied petroleum gas. We are making capital improvements to the Utah refinery designed to improve yields of gasoline and diesel, improve the flexibility of processing crude feedstocks, and increase throughput capacity by 4 Mbpd.

Logistics.  Our Utah refinery receives crude oil primarily through third-party pipelines from oil fields in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Canada. We use trucks to supply the remainder of our Utah refinery’s crude oil requirements. We distribute the refinery’s production through a system of terminals and pipelines owned and operated by both TLLP and third parties, primarily in Utah, Idaho and eastern Washington. The third-party pipeline systems used by the Utah refinery include the pipeline system TLLP plans to purchase from Chevron Pipe Line Company, described below. TLLP’s terminals include one adjacent to the refinery and two others located in Boise and Burley, Idaho.

Carson Acquisition

On August 8, 2012, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with BP West Coast Products, LLC and certain other sellers to purchase BP’s integrated Southern California refining and marketing business. The assets to be acquired include the 266 Mbpd Carson refinery located adjacent to our Wilmington refinery, three marine terminals, four land storage terminals, over one hundred miles of pipelines and four product marketing terminals. In addition, the assets include the ARCO^® brand and associated registered trademarks, as well as a master franchisee license for the ampm^® convenience store brand and the supply rights to approximately 800 branded dealer-operated and branded wholesale stations in Southern California, Nevada and Arizona. Additionally, we will acquire a 51% ownership in the 400 megawatt gas fueled Watson cogeneration facility; and also a 350,000 metric ton per year anode coke calcining operation, both located near the Carson refinery.

9

The purchase price is $1.175 billion, plus the value of inventories at the time of closing. The inventory value announced in August 2012 was estimated at $1.3 billion. The purchase and sale agreement provides for a $100 million reduction in the purchase price upon meeting certain conditions as defined in the agreement. This acquisition, which is subject to customary closing conditions and will require approval from the Federal Trade Commission and the California Attorney General, is expected to close before mid-2013. The purchase and sale agreement also required an advance payment of $90 million and provides for us to pay a break-up fee of up to $140 million in the event that we terminate the agreement (except for termination for specified reasons). In the event a break-up fee is required, the advance payment of $90 million will be applied to the amount due.

Tesoro Logistics LP

TLLP completed its initial public offering in April 2011. Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC, a 100% consolidated subsidiary, serves as the general partner of TLLP. Headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, TLLP’s crude oil gathering assets include the High Plains System, consisting of approximately 700 miles of common carrier pipeline (the “High Plains Pipeline”), related storage assets and a truck-based crude oil gathering operation in the Williston Basin. Its terminalling, transportation and storage assets include eight refined products terminals in the midwestern and western United States, a crude oil and refined products storage facility and five related short-haul pipelines in Utah, two marine terminals in California and a rail car unloading facility in Washington.

TLLP intends to expand its business through organic growth, including constructing new assets and increasing the utilization of existing assets, and by acquiring assets from us and third parties. TLLP’s expansion of the logistics business will allow us to optimize the value of our assets within the midstream and downstream value chain.

During 2012, TLLP expanded its business through three separate transactions with Tesoro:

• Effective April 1, 2012, TLLP entered into a transaction to purchase, from Tesoro, our Martinez crude oil marine terminal assets (collectively, the “Martinez Marine Terminal”) and associated pipelines in exchange for $75 million. The Martinez Marine Terminal consists of a single-berth dock, five associated crude oil storage tanks, two firewater tanks and related pipelines that receive crude oil from third-party vessels for delivery to our Martinez refinery and a third-party terminal.

• Effective September 14, 2012, TLLP entered into a transaction to purchase, from Tesoro, our Long Beach marine terminal assets and related short-haul pipelines (collectively, the “Long Beach Assets”), in exchange for total consideration from TLLP of $210 million. These assets, located near our Wilmington refinery, consist of a two-vessel berth dock leased from the city of Long Beach, six storage tanks and six related pipelines connecting our Wilmington refinery to the marine terminal and other third-party facilities.

• Effective November 15, 2012, TLLP entered into a transaction to purchase, from Tesoro, our Anacortes rail car unloading facility assets (the “Anacortes Rail Facility”), in exchange for consideration of $180 million. The Anacortes Rail Facility includes a four-track unloading platform, two receiving and departing tracks capable of handling a 100-car unit train and two additional short track spurs, as well as other related assets and properties associated with the facility. The facility, which was placed in service in September 2012, has a permitted capacity to deliver up to 50 Mbpd of Bakken crude oil to our Washington refinery.

On December 6, 2012, TLLP executed definitive agreements to purchase Chevron Pipe Line Company’s and Northwest Terminalling Company’s (collectively, “Chevron”) northwest products system (the “Northwest Products System”) for a total purchase price of $400 million. The Northwest Products System consists of a 760-mile Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) regulated common carrier products pipeline running from Salt Lake City, Utah to Spokane, Washington, and a separate five-mile jet fuel pipeline to the Salt Lake City International Airport. It also includes certain assets of the Northwest Terminalling Company consisting of the Boise and Pocatello, Idaho and Pasco, Washington refined products terminals, which are not subject to FERC regulation. The pipeline receives product from five refineries and one pipeline in the Salt Lake City area and is the primary transportation option from Salt Lake City to Pocatello, Boise, Pasco and Spokane. The terminals have a total storage capacity of 1.3 million barrels. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close during the first quarter of 2013.

We have agreements with TLLP which establish fees for administrative and operational services provided by Tesoro and its subsidiaries to TLLP, provide indemnifications by Tesoro and its subsidiaries for certain environmental and other liabilities, and establish commercial terms for services provided by TLLP and its subsidiaries to us. TLLP is a variable interest entity as defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and is consolidated into our consolidated financial statements. Intercompany transactions with TLLP and its subsidiaries are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

Tesoro Panama Company S.A

Tesoro Panama Company S.A. (“TPSA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tesoro, has leased access to the Trans-Panama pipeline (the “Panama Pipeline”) and several tanks for a seven-year period expiring in 2017. TPSA is obligated for pipeline capacity of more than 100 Mbpd and tank capacity of approximately 4.4 million barrels. The Panama Pipeline runs 81 miles long across Panama and has a capacity exceeding 860 Mbpd. This access to the Panama Pipeline allows us to deliver crude oil acquired in Africa, the Atlantic region of South America and the North Sea to refineries in the Pacific basin.

Wholesale Marketing and Refined Product Distribution

We sell refined products including gasoline and gasoline blendstocks, jet fuel, diesel fuel, heavy fuel oils and residual products in both the bulk and wholesale markets. We currently sell over 300 Mbpd in the wholesale market primarily through independent unbranded distributors that sell refined products purchased from us through approximately 75 owned and third-party terminals. Our bulk sales are primarily to independent unbranded distributors, other refining and marketing companies, utilities, railroads, airlines and marine and industrial end-users. These products are primarily distributed by pipelines, ships, barges, rail cars and trucks. Our sales include refined products that we manufacture, purchase or receive through exchange arrangements. Our refined product sales, including intersegment sales to our retail operations, were as follows:

	2012	2011	2010
Refined Product Sales (Mbpd)
Gasoline and gasoline blendstocks	357	341	288
Jet fuel	97	91	92
Diesel fuel	154	143	116
Heavy fuel oils, residual products and other	85	85	76
Total Refined Product Sales	693	660	572

Gasoline and Gasoline Blendstocks.  We sell gasoline and gasoline blendstocks in both the bulk and wholesale markets in the western United States. The demand for gasoline is seasonal in many of these markets, with lowest demand typically during the winter months. We sell gasoline to wholesale customers and several other refining and marketing companies under various supply agreements and exchange arrangements. We sell, at wholesale, to unbranded distributors and high-volume retailers, and we distribute refined product through owned and third-party terminals.

Jet Fuel.  We supply jet fuel to passenger and cargo airlines at airports in Alaska, Hawaii, California, Washington, Utah, Oregon and other western states. We also supply military grade jet fuel to locations in Hawaii and the Northern Great Plains.

Diesel Fuel.  We sell diesel fuel primarily on a wholesale basis for marine, transportation, industrial and agricultural use. We sell lesser amounts to end-users through marine terminals and for power generation in Hawaii and Washington. We are able to manufacture Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (“ULSD”) at all of our refineries and we currently are the sole producer of ULSD in Hawaii.

Heavy Fuel Oils and Residual Products.  We sell heavy fuel oils to other refiners, third-party resellers, electric power producers and marine and industrial end-users. Our refineries supply substantially all of the marine fuels that we sell through facilities at Port Angeles, Seattle and Tacoma, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, and through our refinery terminals in Washington, Alaska and Hawaii. Our Martinez and Wilmington refineries produce petroleum coke that we sell primarily to industrial end-users. Tesoro is also a supplier of liquid asphalt for paving and construction companies in Washington, Alaska and Hawaii.

Sales of Purchased Products.  In the normal course of business we purchase refined products manufactured by others for resale to our customers to meet local market demands. We purchase these refined products, primarily gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel and industrial and marine fuel blendstocks mainly in the spot market. Our gasoline and diesel fuel purchase and resale transactions are principally on the West Coast. Our primary jet fuel resale activity consists of supplying markets in Alaska, California, Washington, Hawaii, Oregon and Utah. We also purchase for resale a lesser amount of gasoline and other refined products for sales outside of our refineries’ markets.

RETAIL

Tesoro’s Branded Retail Network

We sell gasoline and diesel fuel in the western United States through company-operated retail stations and agreements with third-party branded dealers and distributors (or “Jobber/dealers”). Our retail network provides a committed outlet for a portion of the transportation fuels produced by our refineries. Many of our company-operated retail stations include convenience stores that sell a wide variety of merchandise items. As of December 31, 2012, our retail segment included a network of 1,402 branded retail stations primarily under the Tesoro^®, Shell^® and USA Gasoline^TM brands. Our retail stations (summarized by type and brand) were located in the following states as of December 31, 2012:

Retail Acquisitions

As discussed above in Refining, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with BP West Coast Products, LLC and certain other sellers to purchase BP’s integrated Southern California refining and marketing business on August 8, 2012. Retail assets to be purchased in connection with the Carson Acquisition include the ARCO^® brand and associated registered trademarks, a master franchisee license for the ampm^® convenience store brand and the supply rights to approximately 800 branded dealer-operated and branded wholesale stations in Southern California, Nevada and Arizona.

In January 2012, we acquired 49 retail stations located primarily in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming, from SUPERVALU, Inc. We paid approximately $37 million for the assets, including inventories of approximately $3 million.

We entered into an agreement with Thrifty Oil Co. and certain of its affiliates in 2011, to lease a network of retail stations located primarily in southern California. We transitioned 174 of these stations during 2012 with approximately 50 remaining stations to be phased in during 2014.

COMPETITION

The refining industry is highly competitive. Our competitors include a number of companies that have greater financial and other resources. We compete in the world market for the crude oil and feedstocks we process, and then we compete for the customers who purchase our refined products. The availability and cost of crude oil and other feedstocks, as well as the prices of the products we produce, are heavily influenced by global supply and demand dynamics. We obtain all of our crude oil from third-party sources and compete with other refiners for these supplies. We compete with a number of major, integrated multi-national oil companies who can supply their refineries with crude oil from their own production. The peer group of independent refiners has changed significantly in 2012 with additions due to the spin-offs of Phillips 66 by ConocoPhillips and Marathon Petroleum by Marathon Oil Corporation and the removal of Sunoco, Inc. due to its merger with Energy Transfer Partners, L.P.

13

We sell gasoline through our network of retail stations and on a wholesale basis. We sell most of our distillate production through wholesale channels. We compete with other refiners and with importers for customers in most of our market areas. Competition and concentrations specific to each of our refineries are as follows:

• Our Martinez, Wilmington and Washington refineries compete with several refiners in the contiguous West Coast states. We periodically export products and our exports to foreign markets have increased over the last three years.

• Our Alaska refinery competes with three other in-state refineries that together have a crude oil processing capacity of approximately 295 Mbpd. It also competes with refineries on the West Coast. Our jet fuel sales in Alaska are concentrated in Anchorage, where we are one of the principal suppliers at the Anchorage International Airport.

• Our Hawaii refinery has access to a large variety of markets for crude oil imports and product exports. Product imports from the U.S. mainland and foreign sources are required to meet the state’s fuel demand. Our jet fuel sales are concentrated at the Honolulu International Airport, where we are the principal supplier. We serve a total of five airports and compete with other suppliers for commercial, freight and U.S. military contracts.

• Our North Dakota refinery is the only refinery in the state and primarily competes with refineries in Wyoming, Montana, the Midwest and with pipeline supply from the Gulf Coast region. The Midwest region ranks second among the regions in crude oil refining throughput in the United States. This region produces crude oil from the Williston Basin and imports crude oil from Canada.

• Our Utah refinery is the largest of five refineries located in Utah. The other refineries have a combined capacity to process approximately 110 Mbpd of crude oil. These five refineries collectively supply a high proportion of the gasoline and distillate products consumed in the states of Utah and Idaho, with additional supplies provided from refineries in surrounding states.

Our retail marketing operations compete with other independent marketers, integrated oil companies and high-volume retailers. We sell gasoline in California, Minnesota, Idaho, Utah, North Dakota and other western states through a network of company-operated retail stations and branded and unbranded Jobber/dealers. Competitive factors that affect retail marketing include product price, station appearance, location and brand awareness. Large national retailers as well as regional retailers continue to grow their retail fuel business. Some of these competitors are substantially larger than we are and through their greater resources may be better able to withstand volatile market conditions and low profitability.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND LEGISLATION

Environmental Controls and Expenditures

All of our operations, like those of other companies engaged in similar businesses, are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state, regional and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to the environment, including those governing emissions or discharges to the land, air and water, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes and the remediation of contamination. While we believe our facilities are in substantial compliance with current requirements, we will continue to engage in efforts to meet new legislative and regulatory requirements applicable to our operations. Compliance with these laws and regulations may require us to make significant expenditures. For example:

• The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has proposed multiple regulations to control greenhouse gas emissions under the Federal Clean Air Act. The first of these regulations, finalized on April 1, 2010, sets standards for the control of greenhouse gas emissions from light trucks and cars. The U.S. Congress may also consider legislation regarding greenhouse gas emissions in the future.

• The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 mandates the blending of increasing amounts of renewable fuels annually in the supply of transportation fuels used domestically. This use of renewable fuels is required of all manufacturers and importers of transportation fuels sold domestically. The EPA implements the renewable fuel standard (“RFS2”) through regulation and requires transportation fuel manufacturers to provide proof of purchase of these renewable fuels. The costs associated with RFS2 compliance are uncertain and fluctuate with market dynamics.

• In California, Assembly Bill 32 (“AB 32”), created a statewide cap on greenhouse gas emissions and requires that the state return to 1990 emission levels by 2020. AB 32 also created a low carbon fuel standard, which requires a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity of fuels by 2020.

• In 2013, the EPA is expected to propose a new rule requiring the reduction of the concentration of sulfur in gasoline.

14

The impact of these regulatory and legislative developments, if enacted or implemented, or both, is likely to result in increased compliance costs, additional operating restrictions on our business and an increase in the cost of the products we manufacture. Depending on market conditions, we will attempt to pass these costs on to consumers. If that is not possible, the changes could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, and liquidity. We cannot currently determine the amounts of such future impacts. For additional information regarding our environmental matters see “Environmental and Other Matters” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7.

Oil Spill Prevention and Response

We operate in environmentally sensitive coastal waters, where tanker, pipeline, rail cars and other petroleum product transportation operations are regulated by federal, state and local agencies and monitored by environmental interest groups. The transportation of crude oil and refined products over water involves risk and subjects us to the provisions of the Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and related state requirements, which require that most petroleum refining, transport and storage companies maintain and update various oil spill prevention and oil spill contingency plans. We have submitted these plans and received federal and state approvals necessary to comply with the Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and related regulations. We frequently review and modify our oil spill prevention plans and procedures to prevent crude oil and refined product releases and to minimize potential impacts should a release occur.

We currently use time charter tankers to ship crude oil from foreign and domestic sources to our California, Mid-Pacific and Pacific-Northwest refineries. The tanker owners contract with Federally Certified Oil Spill Response Organizations (“OSROs”) to comply with federal, state and local requirements, except in Alaska where we contract with the OSROs. The OSROs are capable of responding to an oil spill equal to the greatest tanker volume delivering crude oil to our refineries. Those volumes range from 350,000 barrels at our California refineries to one million barrels at our Hawaii refinery.

We have entered into spill-response contracts with various OSROs to provide spill-response services, if required, to respond to a spill of oil originating from our facilities. We have spill-response agreements in Alaska with Cook Inlet Spill Prevention and Response, Incorporated and with Alyeska Pipeline Service Company. We have a spill-response services agreement in Hawaii with Clean Islands Council. We also have entered into contracts with Marine Spill Response Corporation for Hawaii, the San Francisco Bay, Puget Sound, the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach; and the Clean Rivers Cooperative, Inc. for the Columbia River, and Bay West, Inc. in our Mid-Continent region. These OSROs are capable of responding to an oil spill on water equal to the greatest volume above ground storage tank at our facilities or pipelines. Those volumes range from 50,000 to 600,000 barrels. We also contract with two spill-response organizations outside the U.S. to support our shipments in foreign waters. In addition, we contract with various spill-response specialists to ensure appropriate expertise is available for any contingency. We believe these contracts provide the additional services necessary to meet or exceed all regulatory spill-response requirements and support our commitment to environmental stewardship.

The OSROs are rated and certified by the United States Coast Guard and are required to annually demonstrate their response capability to the United States Coast Guard and state agencies. The OSROs rated and certified to respond to open water spills must demonstrate the capability to recover up to 50,000 barrels of oil per day and store up to 100,000 barrels of recovered oil at any given time. The OSROs rated and certified to respond to inland spills must demonstrate the capability to recover from 1,875 to 7,500 barrels of oil per day and store from 3,750 to 15,000 barrels of recovered oil at any given time. We maintain our own spill-response resources to mitigate the impact of a spill from a tanker at our refineries until an OSRO can deploy its resources. Our spill response capability meets the United States Coast Guard and state requirements to either deploy on-water containment equipment two and one-half times the length of a vessel at our dock or have smaller vessels available to recover 50 barrels of oil per day and store 100 barrels of recovered oil at any given time.

The services provided by the OSROs principally consist of operating response-related equipment, managing certain aspects of a response and providing technical expertise. The OSROs provide various resources in response to an oil spill. The resources include dedicated vessels that have skimming equipment to recover oil, storage barges to temporarily store recovered oil, containment boom to control the spread of oil on water and land and to protect shorelines, and various pumps and other equipment supporting oil recovery efforts and the protection of natural resources. The OSROs have full-time personnel and contract with third parties to provide additional personnel when needed.

As a general matter, our agreements with these organizations do not contain specific physical or financial limitations. General physical limitations of these organizations would include the geographical area for which services are available and the amount of resources available at the initiation of a request for services or the duration of response and recovery efforts.

15

Additionally, we require all tankers and barges engaged in moving crude oil, heavy and finished products to be double hulled. All vessels used by us to transport crude oil and refined products over water are examined or evaluated and subject to our approval prior to their use.

Regulation of Pipelines

Our pipeline systems in Alaska are common carriers subject to tariff regulation by various state and local agencies. Operations on portions of our pipelines are regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation in Alaska, California and Hawaii. In addition, our affiliate TLLP owns and operates the High Plains System, which is subject to tariff regulation by FERC and the North Dakota Public Service Commission in North Dakota and Montana.

The intrastate operations of our Alaska pipelines are subject to regulation by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska. The state regulatory authorities require that we notify shippers of proposed tariff increases to provide the shippers an opportunity to protest the increases. In addition to challenges to new or proposed rates, challenges to intrastate rates that have already become effective are permitted by complaint of an interested person or by independent action of the appropriate regulatory authority.

WORKING CAPITAL

We fund our business operations through a combination of available cash and equivalents and cash flows generated from operations. In addition, our revolving lines of credit are available for additional working capital needs. For additional information regarding working capital see the “Capital Resources and Liquidity” section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 7.

SEASONALITY

Demand for gasoline is higher during the spring and summer months than during the fall and winter months in most of our markets due to seasonal changes in highway traffic. As a result, our operating results for both the refining and retail segments for the first and fourth quarters are typically lower than the second and third quarters.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2012, we had more than 5,700 full-time employees, approximately 1,350 of whom are covered by collective bargaining agreements. During 2012, we completed the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements that are set to expire in 2015 and cover our full-time represented union employees. We believe that these agreements are fair, competitive and consistent with other national agreements accepted by the United Steelworkers union.

PROPERTIES

Our principal properties are described above under the captions “Refining” and “Retail.” We believe that our properties and facilities are adequate for our operations and that our facilities are adequately maintained. We are the lessee under a number of cancellable and noncancellable leases for certain properties, including office facilities, retail facilities, ship charters, barges and equipment used in the storage, transportation and production of feedstocks and refined products. We conduct our retail business primarily under the Tesoro^®, Shell^® and USA Gasoline^TM brands through a network of 1,402 retail stations, of which 595 are company-operated. See Notes M and Q to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Alkylation - A process that chemically combines isobutane with other hydrocarbons through the control of temperature and pressure in the presence of an acid catalyst. This process produces alkylates, which have a high octane value and are blended into gasoline to improve octane values.

API - American Petroleum Institute - the main U.S trade association for the oil and natural gas industry.

API Gravity - A scale for denoting the lightness or heaviness of crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons. Calibrated in API degrees (or degrees API), it is used universally to express a crude oil’s relative density in an inverse measure - the lighter the crude, the higher the API gravity, and vice versa.

Calcining - a process whereby green or raw petroleum coke from the refining process is converted to a high grade coke by thermally treating it to remove moisture and volatile combustible matter.  The upgraded high grade calcined coke is typically used by the aluminum industry.

CARB  - California Air Resources Board - Gasoline and diesel fuel sold in the state of California are regulated by CARB and require stricter quality and emissions reduction performance than required by other states.

Cogeneration Facility - A plant that produces both steam and electricity for use in refinery operations or for sale to third parties.

Cracking - The process of breaking down larger hydrocarbon molecules into smaller molecules, using catalysts and/or elevated temperatures and pressures.

Deasphalting - A solvent extraction process of recovering higher-value oils from refining residues.

Delayed Coking - A process by which the heaviest crude oil fractions can be thermally cracked under conditions of elevated temperatures to produce both refined products and petroleum coke.

Exchange Arrangement - An agreement providing for the delivery of crude oil or refined products to a third party, in exchange for the delivery of crude oil or refined products from the third party.

Fluid Catalytic Cracking - A process that breaks down larger, heavier, and more complex hydrocarbon molecules into simpler and lighter molecules through the use of a catalytic agent to increase the yield of gasoline. Fluid catalytic cracking uses a catalyst in the form of very fine particles, which behave as a fluid when aerated with a vapor.

Gross Refining Margin - The margin on products manufactured and purchased, including those sold to our retail segment. Gross refining margin is calculated as revenues less costs of feedstocks, purchased refined products, transportation and distribution.

Heavy Crude Oil - Crude oil with an API gravity of 24 degrees or less. Heavy crude oil is typically sold at a discount to lighter crude oil.

Heavy Fuel Oils, Residual Products, Internally Produced Fuel and Other - Products other than gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel produced in the refining process. These products include residual fuels, gas oils, propane, petroleum coke, asphalt and internally produced fuel.

Hydrocracking - A process that uses a catalyst to crack heavy hydrocarbon molecules in the presence of hydrogen. Major products from hydrocracking are jet fuel, naphtha, propane and gasoline components such as butane.

Hydrotreating - A process that removes sulfur from refined products in the presence of catalysts and substantial quantities of hydrogen to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions that result from the use of the products.

Isomerization - A process that alters the fundamental arrangement of atoms in the molecule without adding or removing anything from the original material. The process is used to convert normal butane into isobutane and normal pentane into isopentane and hexane into isohexane.

Jobber/Dealer Stations - Retail stations owned by third parties that sell products purchased from or through us and carry one of our brands.

17

Light Crude Oil - Crude oil with an API gravity greater than 24 degrees. Light crude oil is typically sold at a premium to heavy crude oil.

Mbpd - Thousand barrels per day.

Naphtha - Refined product used as a gasoline blending component, a feedstock for reforming and as a petrochemical feedstock.

Refining Yield - Volumes of product produced from crude oil and feedstocks.

Reforming - A process that uses controlled heat and pressure with catalysts to rearrange certain hydrocarbon molecules into petrochemical feedstocks and higher octane stocks suitable for blending into finished gasoline.

Retail Fuel Margin - The margin on fuel products sold through our retail segment calculated as revenues less cost of sales. Cost of sales in fuel margin are based on purchases from our refining segment and third parties using average bulk market prices adjusted for transportation and other differentials.

Throughput - The quantity of crude oil and other feedstocks processed at a refinery measured in barrels per day.

Turnaround - The scheduled shutdown of a refinery processing unit for significant overhaul and refurbishment. Turnaround expenditures are capitalized and amortized over the period of time until the next planned turnaround of the unit.

Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel - Diesel fuel produced with lower sulfur content to lower emissions, which is required for on-road use in the U.S.

Unit Train - A train consisting of approximately one hundred rail cars containing a single material (such as crude oil) that is transported by the railroad as a single unit from its origin point to the destination, enabling decreased transportation costs and faster deliveries. 

Vacuum Distillation - Distillation under reduced pressure, which lowers the boiling temperature of crude oil in order to distill crude oil components that have high boiling points.

Visbreaking - A thermal cracking process in which heavy atmospheric or vacuum unit residues are cracked at moderate temperatures to increase production of distillate products and reduce viscosity of the distillate residues.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The volatility of crude oil prices, refined product prices and natural gas andelectrical power prices may have a material adverse effect on our cash flow andresults of operations.

Earnings and cash flows from our refining and wholesale marketing operations depend on a number of factors, including to a large extent the cost of crude oil and other refinery feedstocks which has fluctuated significantly in recent years. While prices for refined products are influenced by the price of crude oil, the constantly changing margin between the price we pay for crude oil and other refinery feedstocks, and the prices at which we are able to sell refined products, also fluctuates significantly from time to time. These prices depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the global supply and demand for crude oil, gasoline and other refined products, which are subject to, among other things:

• changes in the global economy and the level of foreign and domestic production of crude oil and refined products;

• availability of crude oil and refined products and the infrastructure to transport crude oil and refined products;

• local factors, including market conditions, the level of operations of other refineries in our markets, and the volume of refined products imported;

• threatened or actual terrorist incidents, acts of war, and other global political conditions;

• government regulations; and

• weather conditions, hurricanes or other natural disasters.

In addition, we purchase our refinery feedstocks weeks before manufacturing and selling the refined products. Price level changes during the period between purchasing feedstocks and selling the manufactured refined products from these feedstocks could have a significant impact on our financial results. We also purchase refined products manufactured by others for sale to our customers. Price level changes during the periods between purchasing and selling these refined products could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Volatile prices for natural gas and electrical power used by our refineries and other operations affect manufacturing and operating costs. Natural gas and electricity prices have been, and will continue to be, affected by supply and demand for fuel and utility services in both local and regional markets.

Our proposed Carson Acquisition involves risks, including risks that we may not be able to complete the acquisition or successfully integrate the assets we acquire.

On August 8, 2012, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with BP West Coast Products, LLC and certain other sellers to purchase BP’s integrated Southern California refining and marketing business (the “Carson Acquisition”) and we expect the acquisition to close before mid-2013. The Carson Acquisition involves risks associated with acquisitions and integration of acquired assets, including the following:

• the Federal Trade Commission or the California Attorney General may not approve the acquisition (thereby preventing us from consummating the acquisition), may require that we divest certain assets in order to proceed with the acquisition, or may cause the consummation of the acquisition to occur much later than anticipated;

• a significant delay in closing the acquisition could impact our ability to sustain sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us for the Carson Acquisition or the expansion of operations associated with the assets to be acquired;

• the risk that any such acquisition and expansion financing could reduce our creditworthiness and increase our financing costs;

• we will have to pay a breakage fee of up to $140 million (to which our advance payment of $90 million will be applied)

in the event that we terminate the agreement (except for termination for specified reasons) prior to the closing of the transaction;

• the potential for unexpected costs, delays and challenges that may arise in integrating the assets to be acquired into our existing business;

• challenges related to integrating significant operations that have a company culture that differs from our own;

• environmental remediation obligations to be assumed by Tesoro costing significantly more than anticipated; and

• discovery of previously unknown liabilities associated with the assets to be acquired for which we cannot receive reimbursement under applicable indemnification provisions.

21

Even if we successfully integrate BP’s operations, it may not be possible to realize the full benefits we may expect from operating synergies or other benefits anticipated or realize these benefits within the expected timeframe. Anticipated synergies and benefits may be offset by operating losses relating to changes in commodity prices, industry conditions, failure to retain key personnel, an increase in operating or other costs or other difficulties. If we fail to realize the synergies and benefits we anticipate from the Carson Acquisition, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Adverse changes in global economic conditions and the demand fortransportation fuels may impact our business and financial condition inways that we currently cannot predict.

The U.S. economic recovery from the recent recession continues to be tenuous, and the risk of further significant global economic downturn continues. Further prolonged downturns or failure to recover could result in declines in consumer and business confidence and spending as well as increased unemployment and reduced demand for transportation fuels. This continues to adversely affect the business and economic environment in which we operate, especially on the U.S. West Coast. These conditions increase the risks associated with the creditworthiness of our suppliers, customers and business partners. The consequences of such adverse effects could include interruptions or delays in our suppliers’ performance of our contracts, reductions and delays in customer purchases, delays in or the inability of customers to obtain financing to purchase our products, and bankruptcy of customers. Any of these events may adversely affect our cash flow, profitability and financial condition.

Competition from integrated oil companies that produce their own supply of feedstocks, larger independent refiners and from high volume retailers and large convenience store retailing operators who may have greater financial resources, could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We compete on a global basis with a number of integrated and nationally owned oil companies who produce crude oil, some of which is used in their refining operations. Unlike these oil companies, we must purchase all of our crude oil from unaffiliated sources. Because these oil companies benefit from increased commodity prices, and as other larger independent refining companies have greater access to capital and have stronger capital structures, they are able to better withstand poor and volatile market conditions, such as a lower refining margin environment, shortages of crude oil and other feedstocks or extreme price fluctuations.

We also face strong competition in the fuel and convenience store retailing market for the sale of retail gasoline and convenience store merchandise. Our competitors include service stations operated by integrated major oil companies and well-recognized national high volume retailers or regional large chain convenience store operators, often selling gasoline or merchandise at aggressively competitive prices.

Some of these competitors may have access to greater financial resources, which may provide them with a better ability to bear the economic risks inherent in all phases of our industry. Fundamental changes in the supply dynamics of foreign product imports could lead to reduced margins for the refined products we market, which could have an adverse effect on the profitability of our fuel retailing business.

Meeting the requirements of evolving environmental, health and safety laws andregulations including those related to climate change could adversely affect ourperformance.

Consistent with the experience of other U.S. refiners, environmental laws and regulations have raised operating costs and require significant capital investments at our refineries. We believe that existing physical facilities at our refineries are substantially adequate to maintain compliance with existing applicable laws and regulatory requirements. However, we may be required to address conditions that may be discovered in the future and require a response. Also, potentially material expenditures could be required in the future as a result of evolving environmental, health and safety, and energy laws, regulations or requirements that may be adopted or imposed in the future. Future developments in federal and state laws and regulations governing environmental, health and safety and energy matters are especially difficult to predict.

Currently, multiple legislative and regulatory measures to address greenhouse gas emissions (including carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxides) are in various phases of consideration, promulgation or implementation. These include actions to develop national, statewide or regional programs, each of which could require reductions in our greenhouse gas emissions. Requiring reductions in our greenhouse gas emissions could result in increased costs to (i) operate and maintain our facilities, (ii) install new emission controls at our facilities and (iii) administer and manage any greenhouse gas emissions programs, including acquiring emission credits or allotments.

22

Requiring reductions in our greenhouse gas emissions and increased use of renewable fuels which can be supplied by producers and marketers in other industries that supply alternative forms of energy and fuels to satisfy the requirements of our industrial, commercial and individual customers could also decrease the demand for our refined products, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example:

• In California, Assembly Bill 32 (“AB 32”), created a statewide cap on greenhouse gas emissions and requires that the state return to 1990 emission levels by 2020. AB 32 also created a low carbon fuel standard, which requires a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity of fuels by 2020. Although a California court determined that this standard is unconstitutional in December 2011, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) has appealed the decision. On April 23, 2012, the U.S. 9^th Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the lower court’s preliminary injunction of CARB’s enforcement of the standard pending the appeal and we cannot predict the outcome of the pending appeal.

• The EPA proposed regulations in 2009, that would require the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases from light trucks and cars, and would establish permitting thresholds for stationary sources that emit greenhouse gases and require emissions controls for those sources. Promulgation of the final rule on April 1, 2010, has resulted in a cascade of related rulemakings by the EPA pursuant to the Clean Air Act relative to controlling greenhouse gas emissions.

• In December 2007, the Energy Independence and Security Act was enacted into federal law, which created a second renewable fuels standard. This standard requires the total volume of renewable transportation fuels (including ethanol and advanced biofuels) sold or introduced in the U.S. to reach 16.6 billion gallons in 2013 and to increase to 36 billion gallons by 2022.

In addition, the inability of third parties to manufacture advanced biofuels may prohibit us from meeting the requirements of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.

Our operations are subject to operational hazards that could expose us to potentiallysignificant losses.

Our operations are subject to potential operational hazards and risks inherent in refining operations and in transporting and storing crude oil and refined products. Any of these risks, such as fires, explosions, maritime disasters, security breaches, pipeline ruptures and spills, mechanical failure of equipment, and severe weather and natural disasters, at our or third-party facilities, could result in business interruptions or shutdowns and damage to our properties and the properties of others. A serious accident at our facilities could also result in serious injury or death to our employees or contractors and could expose us to significant liability for personal injury claims and reputational risk. Any such event or unplanned shutdown could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We carry property, casualty and business interruption insurance but we do not maintain insurance coverage against all potential losses. Marine vessel charter agreements do not include indemnity provisions for oil spills so we also carry marine charterer’s liability insurance. We could suffer losses for uninsurable or uninsured risks or in amounts in excess of existing insurance coverage. The occurrence of an event that is not fully covered by insurance or failure by one or more insurers to honor its coverage commitments for an insured event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

While we do not act as an owner or operator of any marine tankers, we do maintain marine charterer’s liability insurance with a primary coverage of $500 million, subject to a $25,000 deductible, and an additional $500 million in umbrella policies for a total of $1 billion in coverage for liabilities, costs and expenses arising from a discharge of pollutants. In addition, Tesoro maintains $10 million in marine terminal operator’s liability coverage, subject to a $150,000 deductible, and an additional $500 million in umbrella coverage for a total of $510 million in coverage for sudden and accidental pollution events and liability arising from marine terminal operations. We cannot assure you that we will not suffer losses in excess of such coverage.

Our business is impacted by environmental risks inherent in refining operations.

The operation of refineries, pipelines, rail cars and refined products terminals is inherently subject to the risks of spills, discharges or other inadvertent releases of petroleum or hazardous substances. These events could occur in connection with any of our refineries, pipelines, rail cars or refined products terminals, or in connection with any facilities which receives our wastes or by-products for treatment or disposal. If any of these events occur, or is found to have previously occurred, we could be liable for costs and penalties associated with their remediation under federal, state and local environmental laws or common law, and could be liable for property damage to third parties caused by contamination from releases and spills. The penalties and clean-up costs that we may have to pay for releases or the amounts that we may have to pay to third parties for damages to their property, could be significant and the payment of these amounts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

23

We operate in and adjacent to environmentally sensitive coastal waters where tanker, pipeline, rail car and refined product transportation and storage operations are closely regulated by federal, state and local agencies and monitored by environmental interest groups. Our California, Mid-Pacific and Pacific Northwest refineries import crude oil and other feedstocks by tanker. In addition, our Washington refinery receives crude oil by rail car. Transportation and storage of crude oil and refined products over and adjacent to water involves inherent risk and subjects us to the provisions of the Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and state laws in California, Hawaii, Washington and Alaska. Among other things, these laws require us and the owners of tankers that we charter to deliver crude oil to our refineries to demonstrate in some situations the capacity to respond to a spill up to one million barrels of oil from a tanker and up to 600,000 barrels of oil from an above ground storage tank adjacent to water (a “Worst Case Discharge”) to the maximum extent possible.

We and the owners of tankers we charter have contracted with various spill response service companies in the areas in which we transport and store crude oil and refined products to meet the requirements of the Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and state and foreign laws. However, there may be accidents involving tankers, pipelines, rail cars or above ground storage tanks transporting or storing crude oil or refined products, and response services may not respond to a Worst Case Discharge in a manner that will adequately contain that discharge, or we may be subject to liability in connection with a discharge. Additionally, we cannot ensure that all resources of a contracted response service company could be available for our or a chartered tanker owner’s use at any given time. There are many factors that could inhibit the availability of these resources, including, but not limited to, weather conditions, governmental regulations or other global events. By requirement of state or federal rulings, these resources could be diverted to respond to other global events.

Our operations are also subject to general environmental risks, expenses and liabilitieswhich could affect our results of operations.

From time to time we have been, and presently are, subject to litigation and investigations with respect to environmental and related matters, including product liability claims related to the oxygenate methyl tertiary butyl ether. We may become involved in further litigation or other proceedings, or we may be held responsible in any existing or future litigation or proceedings, the costs of which could be material.

We operate and have in the past operated retail stations with underground storage tanks in various jurisdictions. Federal and state regulations and legislation govern the storage tanks, and compliance with these requirements can be costly. The operation of underground storage tanks poses certain risks, including leaks. Leaks from underground storage tanks, which may occur at one or more of our retail stations, or which may have occurred at our previously operated retail stations, may impact soil or groundwater and could result in fines or civil liability for us.

Our cash needs may exceed our internally generated cash flow, and our business could be materially and adversely affected if we are not able to obtain the necessary funds from financing activities.

We have substantial cash needs. Our short-term cash needs are primarily to satisfy working capital requirements, including crude oil purchases, which fluctuate with the pricing and sourcing of crude oil. Our longer-term cash needs also include capital expenditures for infrastructure, environmental and regulatory compliance, maintenance turnarounds at our refineries and upgrade and business strategy projects.

We primarily supply our cash needs with cash generated from our operations; however, if the price of crude oil increases significantly, our cash requirements may exceed our cash flow. In such instances, we may not have sufficient borrowing capacity, and may not be able to sufficiently increase borrowing capacity under our existing credit facilities to support our short-term and long-term capital requirements. Debt and equity capital markets continue to be volatile, and we may not be able to secure additional financing on terms and at a cost acceptable to us, if at all. If we cannot generate cash flow and funding is not available when needed, or is available only on unfavorable terms, we may not be able to operate our refineries at the desired capacity, fund our capital requirements, take advantage of business opportunities, respond to competitive pressures or complete our business strategies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

24

Our inventory risk management activities are designed to manage the risk of volatile prices associated with our physical inventory and may result in substantial derivative gains and losses.

We enter into derivative transactions to manage the risks from changes in the prices of crude oil and refined products.  Our inventory risk management activities are designed to manage the risk stemming from the volatile prices associated with our physical inventories and may result in substantial derivatives gains and losses. We hedge price risk on inventories above or below our target levels to minimize the impact these price fluctuations have on our earnings and cash flows.  Consequently, our derivatives hedging results may fluctuate significantly from one reporting period to the next depending on commodity price fluctuations and our relative physical inventory positions.  Since we only use hedge accounting for certain foreign physical inventories that offset these derivatives transactions, we are not able under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to mark the physical inventory values to market and, as a result, there is frequently a timing difference between the impact on our cash flow and earnings from the derivative transaction versus the offsetting physical inventory balance.  See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A.

We are subject to interruptions of supply and increased costs as a result of ourreliance on third-party transportation of crude oil and refined products.

Our Washington refinery receives crude oil delivered by a third-party rail carrier. In addition, all of its Canadian crude oil and a significant percentage of its gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel are received and distributed through third-party pipelines. Additional supply and distribution of feedstocks and refined products are transported via marine vessels providing additional supply and distribution of feedstocks and refined products. Our Alaska refinery receives most of its crude oil and transports a substantial percentage of its refined products via ships and barges.  Our Hawaii refinery currently receives its crude oil, and in the future we expect it to receive refined products, via ships and barges. Our Utah refinery receives the majority of its crude oil via third-party pipelines and delivers a significant amount of its refined products via a third-party pipeline, which Tesoro Logistics LP (“TLLP”) intends to acquire. Our North Dakota refinery delivers a significant percentage of its refined products via a third-party pipeline system. Our Martinez refinery receives crude oil via a combination of third-party pipelines and marine vessels, and the majority of the refinery's production is delivered via third-party pipelines, ships and barges. Our Wilmington refinery receives crude oil via third-party pipelines and marine vessels, and delivers a substantial percentage of its production via third-party pipelines, terminals, ships and barges.

In addition to environmental risks discussed above, we could experience an interruption of supply or an increased cost to deliver refined products to market if the ability of the pipelines or vessels to transport crude oil or refined products is disrupted because of accidents, governmental regulation or third-party action. A prolonged disruption of the ability of a pipeline or vessels to transport crude oil or refined products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We depend upon TLLP for a substantial portion of the logistics networks that serve our refineries’ supply and distribution needs and have obligations for minimum volume commitments in many of our agreements with TLLP.

TLLP provides our Martinez, Wilmington, Washington, Alaska, North Dakota and Utah refineries with various pipeline transportation, trucking, terminal distribution and storage services under long-term, fee-based commercial agreements expiring in 2016 through 2022. Each of these agreements, with the exception of the storage and transportation services agreement, contain minimum volume commitments.  If we do not satisfy the minimum volume commitments, we will still be responsible for payment for transportation and storage services as if we had utilized such minimum volumes. 

TLLP's ability to continue operations could significantly impact their ability to serve our supply and distribution needs.  TLLP's operations are subject to all of the risks and operational hazards inherent in transporting and storing crude oil and refined products, including:

• damages to pipelines and facilities, related equipment and surrounding properties caused by earthquakes, floods, fires, severe weather, explosions and other natural disasters and acts of terrorism;

• mechanical or structural failures;

• curtailments of operations relative to severe weather; inadvertent damage to pipelines from construction, farm and utility equipment; and

• other hazards. 

25

In addition, TLLP's operations are subject to environmental regulations affecting pipeline operations.  Any of these events or factors could result in severe damage or destruction to TLLP's assets or the temporary or permanent shut-down of TLLP's pipelines or facilities. If TLLP is unable to serve our supply and distribution network needs, our ability to operate our refineries and transport refined products could be adversely impacted, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we own an approximate 38% interest in TLLP, including the 2% general partner interest. The inability of TLLP to continue operations, or the occurrence of any of these risks or operational hazards, could also adversely impact the value of our investment in TLLP and, because TLLP is a consolidated variable interest entity, our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely upon certain critical information systems for the operation of our business, and the failure of any critical information system, including a cyber-security breach, may result in harm to our business. 

We are heavily dependent on our technology infrastructure and maintain and rely upon certain critical information systems for the effective operation of our business. These information systems include data network and telecommunications, internet access and our websites, and various computer hardware equipment and software applications, including those that are critical to the safe operation of our refineries, pipelines and terminals. 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, cyber-attacks, and other events. To the extent that these information systems are under our control, we have implemented measures such as virus protection software, intrusion detection systems, and emergency recovery processes, to address the outlined risks. However, security measures for information systems cannot be guaranteed to be failsafe. Any compromise of our data security or our inability to use or access these information systems at critical points in time could unfavorably impact the timely and efficient operation of our business and subject us to additional costs and liabilities, which could adversely affect our results of operations.  Finally, federal legislation relating to cyber-security threats could impose additional requirements on our operations.

Terrorist attacks and threats or actual war may negatively impact our business.

Our business is affected by global economic conditions and fluctuations in consumer confidence and spending, which can decline as a result of numerous factors outside of our control, such as actual or threatened terrorist attacks and acts of war. Terrorist attacks, as well as events occurring in response to or in connection with them, including future terrorist attacks against U.S. targets, rumors or threats of war, actual conflicts involving the U.S. or its allies, or military or trade disruptions impacting our suppliers or our customers or energy markets, may adversely impact our operations. As a result, there could be delays or losses in the delivery of supplies and raw materials to us, delays in our delivery of refined products, decreased sales of our refined products and extension of time for payment of accounts receivable from our customers. Strategic targets such as energy-related assets (which could include refineries such as ours) may be at greater risk of future terrorist attacks than other targets in the U.S. These occurrences could significantly impact energy prices, including prices for our crude oil and refined products, and have a material adverse impact on the margins from our refining and wholesale marketing operations. In addition, significant increases in energy prices could result in government-imposed price controls. Any one of, or a combination of, these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operating results are seasonal and typically are lower in the first and fourthquarters of the year.

Demand for gasoline is higher during the spring and summer months than during the winter months in most of our markets due to seasonal changes in highway traffic. As a result, our operating results for the first and fourth quarters are typically lower than for those in the second and third quarters.

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

We are subject to extensive tax laws and regulations, including federal, state, and foreign income taxes and transactional taxes such as excise, sales/use, payroll, franchise, and ad valorem taxes. New tax laws and regulations and changes in existing tax laws and regulations are frequently being enacted that could result in increased tax expenditures in the future. Many of these tax liabilities are subject to audits by the respective taxing authority. These audits may result in additional taxes as well as interest and penalties.

ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. Large, and sometimes unspecified, damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters and certain matters may require years to resolve. Although we cannot provide assurance, we believe that an adverse resolution of the matters described below will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has alleged that we have violated certain Clean Air Act regulations at our Alaska, Washington, Martinez, Hawaii and Utah refineries. We are continuing discussions of the EPA’s claims with the EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”). We previously received a notice of violation (“NOV”) in March 2011 from the EPA alleging violations of Title V of the Clean Air Act at our Alaska refinery. The alleged violations in the NOV arise from a 2007 state of Alaska inspection and inspections by the EPA in 2008 and 2010. We also previously received NOVs in 2005 and 2008 alleging violations of the Clean Air Act at our Washington refinery. We are discussing all of these allegations with the EPA and DOJ. The ultimate resolution of these matters could require us to incur material capital expenditures and/or civil penalties. While we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of these matters, and currently believe that the outcome will not have a material impact on our liquidity or financial position, the ultimate resolution could have a material impact on our interim or annual results of operations.

During 2009, Chevron filed a lawsuit against us claiming they are entitled to a share of the refunds we received in 2008 from the owners of the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (“TAPS”). We received $50 million in 2008, net of contingent legal fees, for excessive intrastate rates charged by TAPS during 1997 through 2000, and the period of 2001 through June 2003. Chevron is asserting that it is entitled to a share of its portion of the refunds for retroactive price adjustments under our previous crude oil contracts with them. The trial court judge granted Chevron’s motion for summary judgment and awarded them $16 million, including interest, in September 2010. We disagree with the trial court and have appealed the decision to the Alaska Supreme Court in which the proceeding is now pending. We have established an accrual for this matter and believe its resolution will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The naphtha hydrotreater unit at our Washington refinery was involved in a fire in April 2010, which fatally injured seven employees and rendered the unit inoperable. The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (“L&I”), the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (“CSB”) and the EPA initiated separate investigations of the incident. L&I completed its investigation in October 2010, issued citations and assessed a $2.4 million fine, which we appealed. L&I reassumed jurisdiction of the citation and affirmed the allegations in December 2010. We disagree with L&I’s characterizations of operations at our Washington refinery and believe, based on available evidence and scientific reviews, that many of the agency’s conclusions are mistaken. We filed an appeal of the citation in January 2011. The EPA and CSB investigations are ongoing. While we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of the remaining matters, we believe that the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In July 2012, we received an offer from the Bay Area Quality Management District to settle 35 NOVs for $512,000. The NOVs were issued from November 2009 to July 2011 and allege violations of air quality regulations at our Martinez refinery. We are evaluating the allegations contained in the settlement offer and believe that the resolution of this matter will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We received a NOV from the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) in April 2011. The CARB alleges certain batches of fuels produced in 2009 and 2010 at our Martinez and Wilmington refineries violated fuel standards within the California Code of Regulations. We are discussing the resolution of this matter with CARB and believe the ultimate resolution will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We are a defendant, along with other manufacturing, supply and marketing defendants, in two remaining lawsuits alleging methyl tertiary butyl ether (“MTBE”) contamination in groundwater. The defendants are being sued for having manufactured MTBE and having manufactured, supplied and distributed gasoline containing MTBE. The plaintiffs in the remaining cases, all in California, are municipalities and governmental authorities. The plaintiffs allege, in part, that the defendants are liable for manufacturing or distributing a defective product. The suits generally seek individual, unquantified compensatory and punitive damages and attorney’s fees. We intend to vigorously assert our defenses against these claims. While we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of these matters, we have established an accrual for them and believe that the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

________________

(a) Net earnings (loss) included the following pre-tax items that affect the comparability of the periods presented. During 2012, we incurred impairment charges and asset retirement obligations of $228 million and $20 million, respectively, as a result of the decision to cease refining operations at our Hawaii refinery, and begin the process of converting the refinery to an import, storage and distribution terminal. During 2011, we recorded approximately $37 million from insurance recoveries and incurred a $51 million loss related to the change in scope of a capital project at our Wilmington refinery. During 2010, we recorded approximately $67 million from insurance recoveries and $27 million in charges directly related to the April 2010 incident at our Washington refinery and a $48 million gain from the elimination of postretirement life insurance benefits for current and future retirees. During 2009, we incurred a $43 million goodwill write-off in our refining segment and reduced inventories resulting in a last-in-first-out (“LIFO”) liquidation or reduction in cost of sales of $69 million. During 2008, we incurred a $91 million charge to write-off a receivable, reduced inventories resulting in a LIFO liquidation or reduction in cost of sales of $138 million and received net refunds of $50 million from the Trans Alaska Pipeline System associated with our protest of prior year intrastate rates.

(b) The assumed conversion of common stock equivalents produced anti-dilutive results for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and was not included in the dilutive calculation.

(c) During 2012, we refinanced approximately $925 million of senior notes, redeemed our $299 million6.250% Senior Notes and paid off $117 million of outstanding borrowings on the TPSA Revolving Credit Facility. Tesoro Logistics, LP (“TLLP”) also issued $350 million in senior notes, which was primarily used to fund an acquisition and to pay down $118 million in outstanding borrowings on its credit facility. During 2011, TLLP borrowed $50 million on the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility, and Tesoro redeemed approximately $178 million of our senior notes and redeemed our $150 million Junior Subordinated Notes. During 2009, we issued $300 million in senior notes for general corporate purposes. Total debt includes capital lease obligations. Our total debt to capitalization excluding TLLP was 23% and 31%, at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which excludes TLLP total debt of $354 million and $50 million and noncontrolling interest of $486 million and $310 million as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. TLLP’s debt is non-recourse to Tesoro, except for Tesoro Logistics GP.

(d) Tesoro Stockholders’ Equity excludes $486 million and $310 million of equity related to noncontrolling interest for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There was no equity related to noncontrolling interest for the years ended December 31, 2008 through 2010.

BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OVERVIEW

Strategy and Goals

Our vision is to be the premier low-cost supplier of transportation fuels in the refining and marketing business within our markets, providing value for our customers while delivering industry leading returns for our shareholders and conducting ourselves responsibly in the communities in which we operate. To achieve these goals we are pursuing the following strategic priorities:

• improve operational efficiency and effectiveness by focusing on safety and reliability, system improvements and cost leadership;

• drive commercial excellence by strengthening our supply and trading activities to provide additional value to the business;

• strengthen our financial position by exercising capital discipline and focusing on improving our liquidity;

• capture value-driven growth through a focus on our logistics assets, growing our marketing business and other strategic opportunities accretive to shareholder value; and

• maintain a high performing culture by building leadership at all levels of the organization with employees from diverse backgrounds and experiences that are accountable for delivering on our commitments.

Our goals during 2012 were focused on these strategic priorities, and we accomplished the following:

	Operational Efficiency & Effectiveness	Commercial Excellence	Financial Discipline	Value Driven Growth	High Performing Culture
Decreased manufacturing costs per barrel from $4.98 in 2011 to $4.72 in 2012	l
Completed the expansion of our North Dakota refinery, the construction of a rail car unloading facility at the Washington refinery to accommodate unit trains (the “Anacortes Rail Facility”), and replaced the vacuum distillation unit at our Wilmington refinery	l			l
Leveraged our logistics operations to strategically source lower cost crude oil and place refined products		l
Redeemed the remaining outstanding 6.250% Senior Notes due 2012, 6.625% Senior Notes due 2015 and 6.500% Senior Notes due 2017, and completed the issuance of $925 million aggregate principal amount of the 4.250% Senior Notes due 2017 and 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022			l

Entered into an agreement to purchase BP’s integrated Southern California Refining and Marketing business	l	l	l	l	l
TLLP entered into an agreement to purchase the logistics assets of the Chevron Northwest Products System	l	l	l	l	l

35

During 2013, we plan to continue to focus on our strategic priorities described above by:

• focusing on opportunities to improve our base business and maximize refinery utilization;

• executing a slate of high-return capital growth projects focused on improving product yields and reducing feedstock and operating costs;

• executing and completing our major turnaround plan;

• executing TLLP’s organic growth plan, maximizing capture rates and integrating the Chevron Northwest Products System; and

• successfully integrating BP’s Southern California Refining and Marketing business and initiating our capture of synergies, including feedstock optimization and product distribution, and operating improvements.

Tesoro Logistics LP

TLLP was formed to own, operate, develop and acquire logistics assets to gather crude oil and distribute, transport and store crude oil and refined products. Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (“TLGP”), a 100% consolidated subsidiary, serves as the general partner of TLLP. As of December 31, 2012, its assets consisted of a crude oil gathering system in the Williston Basin, eight refined products terminals in the midwestern and western United States, a crude oil and refined products storage facility and five related short-haul pipelines in Utah, two marine terminals in California and a rail car unloading facility in Washington. Subsequent to TLLP’s equity issuance in January 2013, we owned an approximate 38% interest in TLLP, including an approximate 2% general partner interest.

TLLP intends to continue to expand its business through organic growth, including constructing new assets and increasing the utilization of existing assets, and by acquiring assets from us and third parties. Although we have historically operated our logistics assets primarily to support our refining and marketing business, we intend to grow the logistics operations to maximize the integrated value of assets within the midstream and downstream value chain. We believe TLLP is well positioned to achieve its primary business objectives and execute business strategies based on its:

• long-term fee-based contracts;

• relationship with us;

• assets positioned in the high demand Williston Basin; and

• financial flexibility.

As the owner of the general partner of TLLP, the organic and third-party growth strategy discussed above will directly benefit us through TLLP’s quarterly distributions. As the distributions per unit increase, our proportion of the total distribution will grow at an accelerated rate.

TLLP Acquisitions

Effective April 1, 2012, TLLP entered into a transaction to purchase, from Tesoro, our Martinez crude oil marine terminal assets (collectively, the “Martinez Marine Terminal”) and associated pipelines in exchange for $75 million, comprised of $67 million in cash financed with borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit agreement (“TLLP Revolving Credit Facility”) and the issuance of TLLP equity with a fair value of $8 million. The Martinez Marine Terminal consists of a single-berth dock, five associated crude oil storage tanks with a combined capacity of 425,000 barrels, two firewater tanks with 48,000 barrels of shell capacity and related pipelines that receive crude oil from third-party vessels for delivery to our Martinez refinery and a third-party terminal. Total throughput capacity for the Martinez Marine Terminal is estimated to be approximately 145 thousand barrels per day (“Mbpd”).

Effective September 14, 2012, TLLP entered into a transaction to purchase, from Tesoro, our Long Beach marine terminal assets and related short-haul pipelines (collectively, the “Long Beach Assets”), in exchange for total consideration from TLLP of $210 million, comprised of $189 million in cash financed with borrowings under TLLP’s private placement debt offering and the issuance of TLLP equity with a fair value of $21 million. These assets, located near our Wilmington refinery, consist of a two-vessel berth dock leased from the city of Long Beach, six storage tanks with a combined capacity of 235,000 barrels and six related pipelines with 70 Mbpd throughput capacity connecting our Wilmington refinery to the marine terminal and other third-party facilities.

36

Effective November 15, 2012, TLLP entered into a transaction to purchase, from Tesoro, our Anacortes Rail Facility in exchange for consideration of $180 million, comprised of $162 million in cash and the issuance of TLLP equity with a fair value of $18 million. The Anacortes Rail Facility includes a four-track unloading platform, two receiving and departing tracks capable of handling a 100-car unit train and two additional short track spurs, as well as other related assets and properties associated with the facility. The facility, which was placed in service in September 2012, has a permitted capacity to deliver up to 50 Mbpd of Bakken crude oil to our Washington refinery.

On December 6, 2012, TLLP executed definitive agreements to purchase Chevron Pipe Line Company’s and Northwest Terminalling Company’s (collectively, “Chevron”) northwest products system (the “Northwest Products System”) for a total purchase price of $400 million. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close during the first quarter of 2013. TLLP paid a deposit of $40 million upon execution of the purchase agreements, which may be retained by Chevron upon certain contract termination events.

The Northwest Products System consists of a 760-mile Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) regulated common carrier products pipeline running from Salt Lake City, Utah to Spokane, Washington, and a separate five-mile jet fuel pipeline to the Salt Lake City International Airport. It also includes certain assets of the Northwest Terminalling Company consisting of the Boise and Pocatello, Idaho and Pasco, Washington refined products terminals, which are not subject to FERC regulation. The pipeline receives product from five refineries and one pipeline in the Salt Lake City area and is the primary transportation option from Salt Lake City to Pocatello, Boise, Pasco and Spokane. Delivery volumes on the system averaged approximately 84 Mbpd in 2011. The terminals have a total storage capacity of 1.3 million barrels and delivered approximately 51 Mbpd in 2011.

Debt and Equity Issuances and Revolver Amendment

Effective September 14, 2012, TLLP completed a private notes offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (“TLLP 2020 Notes”). The proceeds of this offering were used to fund TLLP’s acquisition of the Long Beach Assets, to repay the outstanding balance on the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility and to fund a portion of the acquisition of the Anacortes Rail Facility.

On October 5, 2012, TLLP closed an equity offering (“TLLP 2012 Equity Issuance”) of 4,255,000 common units at a public offering price of $41.80 per unit. Net proceeds to TLLP from the sale of the units were approximately $171 million. The proceeds of this offering were primarily used to fund TLLP’s acquisition of the Anacortes Rail Facility. At December 31, 2012, we held an approximate 47% interest in TLLP, including an approximate 2% general partner interest.

On January 14, 2013, TLLP closed an equity offering (“TLLP 2013 Equity Issuance”) of 9,775,000 common units at a public offering price of $41.70 per unit. Net proceeds to TLLP from the sale of the units were approximately $392 million. In connection with the offering, TLGP purchased 199,490 general partner units at a price of $41.70 per unit to maintain its 2% general partner interest in TLLP. Subsequent to the TLLP 2013 Equity Issuance on January 14, 2013, we owned an approximate 38% interest in TLLP, including an approximate 2% general partner interest.

Effective January 4, 2013, TLLP amended and restated the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility, which increases total revolving loan availability under the facility from $300 million to $500 million and allows TLLP to request that the availability be increased up to an aggregate of $650 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders.

Completion of North Dakota Refinery Expansion

We completed a project to expand the crude oil throughput capacity at our North Dakota refinery from 58 to 68 Mbpd in 2012. The expansion allows the refinery to process additional crude oil from the nearby Williston Basin delivered via TLLP’s crude oil gathering system in North Dakota and Montana (the “High Plains System”).

Labor Negotiations

During 2012, we completed the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements that are set to expire in 2015 and cover our full-time represented union employees. We believe that these agreements are fair, competitive and consistent with other national agreements accepted by the United Steelworkers union. 

37

Hawaii Operations

In January 2013, we announced that we intend to cease refining operations at our Hawaii refinery in April 2013, and begin the process of converting the refinery to an import, storage and distribution terminal. We plan to maintain the existing distribution system to support marketing operations and fulfill supply commitments while continuing to offer the terminal, distribution and retail assets for sale.

Carson Acquisition

On August 8, 2012, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with BP West Coast Products, LLC and certain other sellers to purchase BP’s integrated Southern California refining and marketing business. The assets to be acquired include the 266 Mbpd Carson refinery located adjacent to our Wilmington refinery, three marine terminals, four land storage terminals, over one hundred miles of pipelines and four product marketing terminals. In addition, the assets include the ARCO^® brand and associated registered trademarks, as well as a master franchisee license for the ampm^® convenience store brand and the supply rights to approximately 800 branded dealer-operated and branded wholesale stations in Southern California, Nevada and Arizona. Additionally, we will acquire a 51% ownership in the 400 megawatt gas fueled Watson cogeneration facility; and also a 350,000 metric ton per year anode coke calcining operation, both located near the Carson refinery. We expect to realize significant operational synergies through the integrated crude oil supply, enhanced optimization of intermediate feedstocks and product distribution costs, improvements in light product yield and reductions in manufacturing costs and stationary source air emissions.

The purchase price is $1.175 billion, plus the value of inventories at the time of closing. The inventory value announced in August 2012 was estimated at $1.3 billion. The purchase and sale agreement provides for a $100 million reduction in the purchase price upon meeting certain conditions as defined in the agreement. This acquisition, which is subject to customary closing conditions and will require approval from the Federal Trade Commission and the California Attorney General, is expected to close before mid-2013. The purchase and sale agreement also required an advance payment of $90 million and provides for us to pay a break-up fee of up to $140 million in the event that we terminate the agreement (except for termination for specified reasons). In the event a break-up fee is required, the advance payment of $90 million will be applied to the amount due. Upon the closing of the Carson Acquisition, the sellers have agreed, subject to certain limitations, to retain certain obligations, responsibilities, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of the pre-closing operations of the assets. We have agreed to assume certain obligations, responsibilities, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with decrees, orders and settlements the sellers entered into with governmental and non-governmental entities prior to closing. We expect that upon closing the Carson Acquisition, we will record certain assumed environmental liabilities. While these liabilities will likely be significant, we do not believe that they will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We intend to offer TLLP the integrated logistics system to be acquired in the Carson Acquisition in multiple transactions during the first twelve months following the closing of the Carson Acquisition, with a goal for the first transaction to coincide with the closing of the Carson Acquisition. The integrated logistics system includes three marine terminals, four land storage terminals, four product marketing terminals, and over one hundred miles of pipelines (including connected access to the Los Angeles International Airport).

Industry Overview

Our profitability is heavily influenced by the cost of crude oil and the aggregate value of the products we make from that crude oil and is affected by changes in economic conditions and supply and demand balance. Product values and crude oil costs are set by the market and are outside of the control of independent refiners.

Average Mid-Continent Benchmark

Product Differentials to WTI ($/bbl)

Average West Coast Benchmark

Product Differentials to ANS ($/bbl)

 Significant turnaround activity and unplanned refinery outages by third parties on the U.S. West Coast impacted overall supply during 2012. Average Mid-Continent benchmark diesel and gasoline margins were up approximately 12% and 13%, respectively, as compared to 2011. Average U.S. West Coast benchmark diesel fuel margins and gasoline margins were up approximately 7% and 35%, respectively, in 2012, as compared to 2011. Planned maintenance activities and crude oil delivery disruptions in our California region limited our realization of these improved benchmark margins.

Nationwide unemployment fell to its lowest level in over three years at the end of 2012. The nationwide unemployment rate decreased from 8.5% at the end of 2011 to 7.8% at the end of 2012. In California, a key market area for Tesoro, the state’s unemployment rate fell by 1.4%, from December 2011 to December 2012, to 9.8%. Lower unemployment and unplanned refinery outages contributed to the improved market conditions on the U.S. West Coast. Additionally, emerging markets, primarily in Latin America, have provided an export opportunity for diesel and other light products.

Average Crude Oil Prices ($/bbl)

Our Mid-Continent and Pacific Northwest refineries have benefited from processing crude oils from inland U.S. and Canada, many of which are priced off West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil. This benefit is a result of a significant discount on the price of these crude oils compared to the crude oil processed at our California and Mid-Pacific refineries, many of which are priced off Brent crude oil (“Brent”). Historically, the price of WTI crude oil was comparable to Brent, but beginning in 2011 WTI has priced at a significant discount to Brent. This benefit could decline as various crude oil pipeline and logistics projects are completed, which will allow sweet crude oil from the inland U.S. to be transported to the U.S. Gulf Coast region. These projects may result in a narrowing of the price differential of WTI-priced crude oil relative to Brent-priced crude oil, which may decrease the margins on refined products for refiners that process WTI-priced crude oil.

The WTI discount to Brent remained high throughout 2012, averaging more than $17 per barrel during the year.  We supplied our North Dakota refinery exclusively with Bakken crude oil in 2012. We supplied our Washington refinery with a significant amount of price advantaged Canadian Light Sweet crude oil during most of 2012. Upon completion of the Anacortes Rail Facility in the third quarter of 2012, we also began to supply Bakken crude oil to our Washington refinery and plan to increase the supply of Bakken crude oil to the refinery throughout 2013.  During 2012, the average discount of Bakken crude oil to WTI increased to over $5 per barrel, compared to a premium of $3 per barrel during 2011. The average discount of Canadian Light Sweet crude oil to WTI increased to approximately $7 per barrel during 2012 compared to a premium of $2 per barrel during 2011. 

Our California refineries ran a significant amount of California heavy crude, including San Joaquin Valley Heavy (“SJVH”), which continued to be priced at a discount to Brent throughout 2012. During 2012 we supplied our Alaska refinery primarily with Alaska North Slope crude oil (“ANS”). The average discount of ANS to Brent was less than $1 per barrel during 2012.

40

Product Supply and Demand Factors

There are long-term factors, in addition to current market conditions, that may impact the supply and demand of refined products in the U.S. including:

• world crude oil prices;

• increased federal fuel efficiency standards for motor vehicles;

• increased volumes of renewable fuels, mandated by the Federal Clean Air Act;

• various regulations of greenhouse gas emissions from stationary and mobile sources by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act and California statute;

• potential enactment of federal climate change legislation; and

• possible promulgation of national regulations relative to gasoline composition and ozone standards under the Federal Clean Air Act.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to our results of operations is presented below. The accompanying consolidated financial statements in Item 8, together with the following information, are intended to provide investors with a reasonable basis for assessing our historical operations, but should not serve as the only criteria for predicting our future performance. Income generated by TLLP was not material to our consolidated results of operations.

Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze operating segment performance. To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), our management uses additional metrics that are known as “non-GAAP” financial metrics in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses (“EBITDA”). We define EBITDA as earnings (loss) before depreciation and amortization expense, net interest and financing costs, income taxes and interest income.

We present EBITDA because we believe some investors and analysts use EBITDA to help analyze our cash flows including our ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations with respect to our indebtedness and use cash for other purposes, including capital expenditures. EBITDA is also used by some investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance and by management for internal analysis. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. GAAP net income or net cash from operating activities. EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash from operating activities.

________________

(a) Excludes foreign exchange loss of $1 million and $2 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, and foreign exchange gain of $2 million in 2010 in order to reconcile EBITDA. Foreign exchange gains (losses) are included in net interest and financing costs in our statements of consolidated operations.

(b) For a definition of EBITDA, see discussion above.

Our net earnings in 2012 were $743 million ($5.25 per diluted share) compared with net earnings of $546 million ($3.81 per diluted share) in 2011. The increase in net earnings of $197 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, was primarily due to the following:

• an increase in gross refining margins of $559 million driven by a strong margin environment and feedstock advantages in 2012;

• a $51 million impairment charge in 2011 related to a change in scope of a capital project at our Wilmington refinery;

• a $43 million decrease in manufacturing costs primarily related to lower energy costs during 2012; and

• a $43 million increase in retail segment operating income during 2012 as a result of a 14% increase in fuel sales volumes, increased refining and marketing integration and improved market conditions during 2012.

The increase in net earnings during 2012 relative to 2011 was partially offset by the following:

• impairment charges and asset retirement obligations of $228 million and $20 million, respectively, in 2012, related to our Hawaii refinery as a result of the decision to cease refinery operations and convert the refinery into a terminal;

• a $100 million increase in income tax expense in 2012 as compared to 2011 as a result of higher earnings during the year;

• a $62 million increase in stock and incentive-based compensation expense, primarily resulting from a significant increase in Tesoro’s stock price during 2012 as compared to 2011;

• $37 million of property and business interruption insurance recoveries related to the Washington refinery incident collected in 2011;

• expense of $28 million related to legal matters in 2012; and

• transaction costs of $13 million related to the Carson Acquisition, TLLP’s purchase of the Northwest Products System and the sales of various assets to TLLP during 2012.

43

Our net earnings in 2011 were $546 million ($3.81 per diluted share) compared with a net loss of $29 million ($0.21 per diluted share) in 2010. The increase in net earnings of $575 million, or $4.02 per diluted share, was primarily due to the following:

• significant increases in gross refining margins of $970 million, driven by feedstock advantages, lower manufacturing cost per barrel, and higher throughput primarily as a result of increased utilization of 87%, and the temporary shut-down of processing at the Washington refinery in 2010; and

• growth in refining and marketing integration from the increased number of retail stations and wholesale supply contracts.

The increase in net earnings during 2011 relative to 2010 was partially offset by the following:

• a $338 million increase in income tax expense in 2011 as compared to 2010 as a result of higher earnings during the year;

• a $48 million gain recognized in 2010 from the elimination of postretirement life insurance benefits for current and future retirees as part of our strategy to reduce overhead and benefit expenses;

• a $31 million higher loss in 2011 as compared to 2010, related to write-downs due to a change in scope of a capital project at our Wilmington refinery;

• the receipt of $67 million of business interruption and property insurance recoveries in 2010, compared to the receipt of $37 million of business interruption and property insurance recoveries in 2011, related to the April 2010 incident at our Washington refinery; and

• a $24 million increase in net interest and financing costs in 2011 primarily due to the write-off of the remaining unamortized discount associated with the early redemption of our Junior Subordinated Notes due 2012 and premiums paid in connection with the redemption of a portion of our Senior Notes.

(a) Refined products sales includes intersegment sales to our retail segment, at prices which approximate market of $5.7 billion, $4.8 billion and $3.3 billion in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(b) Crude oil resales and other includes third-party revenues earned by TLLP.

(c) We define heavy crude oil as crude oil with an American Petroleum Institute gravity of 24 degrees or less.

(d) Management uses various measures to evaluate performance and efficiency, and to compare profitability to other companies in the industry, including gross refining margin per barrel, manufacturing costs before depreciation and amortization expense (“Manufacturing Costs”) per barrel and refined products sales margin per barrel.

• Management uses gross refining margin per barrel to evaluate performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate gross refining margin per barrel; different companies may calculate it in different ways. We calculate gross refining margin per barrel by dividing gross refining margin (revenues less costs of feedstocks, purchased refined products, transportation and distribution) by total refining throughput.

• Management uses Manufacturing Costs per barrel to evaluate the efficiency of refining operations. There are a variety of ways to calculate Manufacturing Costs per barrel; different companies may calculate it in different ways. We calculate Manufacturing Costs per barrel by dividing Manufacturing Costs by total refining throughput.

• Management uses refined product sales margin per barrel to evaluate the profitability of manufactured and purchased refined product sales. There are a variety of ways to calculate refined product sales margin per barrel; different companies may calculate it in different ways. We calculate refined product sales margin per barrel by dividing refined product sales and refined product cost of sales by total refining throughput, and subtracting refined product cost of sales per barrel from refined product sales per barrel.

Investors and analysts use these financial measures to help analyze and compare companies in the industry on the basis of operating performance. These financial measures should not be considered alternatives to segment operating income, revenues, costs of sales, and operating expenses or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

________________

(j) We experienced reduced throughput due to scheduled turnarounds at our Martinez, Alaska and Hawaii refineries in 2012, our Martinez refinery in 2011 and at our Hawaii, North Dakota, Martinez and Utah refineries in 2010. We also temporarily shut-down processing at the Washington refinery beginning in April 2010, and resumed operations at planned rates in November 2010.

2012 Compared to 2011

Overview.  Operating income for our refining segment increased by $373 million to $1.6 billion from 2011 to 2012. The increase is primarily due to increased gross refining margins driven by feedstock advantages from crude oil discounts relative to industry benchmarks during 2012, partially offset by $248 million in impairment charges and asset retirement obligations related to our Hawaii refinery.

Gross Refining Margins.  Our gross refining margin per barrel increased by $2.43 per barrel, or 17%, to $16.37 per barrel in 2012 as compared to 2011, reflecting strong industry margins and lower crude oil cost relative to industry benchmarks in the Mid-Continent and Pacific Northwest markets. Decreased crude oil costs for our Mid-Continent and Pacific Northwest refineries contributed to strong refining margins for these regions. Industry distillate and gasoline margins on the U.S. West Coast increased 7% and 35%, respectively, while industry distillate and gasoline margins in the Mid-Continent increased 12% and 13%, respectively during 2012. The significantly higher gross refining margin per barrel and increased throughputs in these regions positively impacted gross refining margins by $558 million in 2012 as compared to 2011.

Refining Throughput.  Total refining throughput increased 6 Mbpd, or 1%, to 585 Mbpd in 2012 as compared to 579 Mbpd in 2011 primarily due to the expansion of our North Dakota refinery, which was completed during 2012 and higher throughputs at our Washington refinery as a result of favorable market conditions. The increase was partially offset by scheduled turnarounds at our Alaska and Hawaii refineries during 2012.

47

Refined Product Sales.  Revenues from sales of refined products increased $2.4 billion, or 8% to $31.4 billion in 2012 as compared to $29.1 billion in 2011, primarily due to higher average refined product sales prices and increased refined product sales volumes. Our average product sales price increased $2.11 per barrel, or 2%, to $123.20 per barrel in 2012 as compared to $121.09 per barrel in 2011. Total refined product sales increased by 33 Mbpd, or 5%, to 693 Mbpd in 2012 as compared to 660 Mbpd in 2011. Refined product sales volumes were impacted by increased demand for diesel fuel and gasoline and additional branded marketing supply agreements.

Cost of Sales and Expenses.  Our average costs of sales increased by $0.80 per barrel, or 1%, to $110.76 per barrel in 2012 as compared to $109.96 per barrel in 2011, reflecting slightly higher crude oil prices as compared to 2011. Manufacturing and other operating expenses decreased by $24 million, or 2%, to $1.3 billion in 2012 as a result of lower energy costs, primarily natural gas. The reduction was partially offset by $5 million in property insurance recoveries recorded during 2011 related to the 2010 Washington refinery incident with no comparable insurance recoveries in 2012.

Loss on Asset Disposals and Impairments.  Loss on asset disposals increased to $262 million in 2012, as compared to $60 million in 2011. During 2012, we recognized impairment charges of $228 million and asset retirement obligations of $20 million related to our Hawaii refinery. We expect to cease operations at our Hawaii refinery in April 2013, and begin the process of converting the refinery to an import, storage and distribution terminal. In 2011, we recorded a $51 million loss as a result of a change in scope of a capital project at our Wilmington refinery.

2011 Compared to 2010

Overview.  Operating income for our refining segment increased by $924 million, to $1.2 billion from 2010 to 2011. The increase primarily reflects improved total gross refining margins of $970 million during the year. The increase in gross margin was partially offset by an increase of $17 million in manufacturing and other operating expenses.

Gross Refining Margins.  Our gross refining margin per barrel increased by $2.68 per barrel, or 24%, to $13.94 per barrel in 2011 as compared to $11.26 per barrel in 2010, reflecting high industry distillate margins throughout the year. Decreased relative crude oil costs for our Mid-Continent refineries contributed to strong refining margins for that region. Industry distillate margins on the U.S. West Coast increased approximately 39% during 2011, while industry gasoline margins on the U.S. West Coast declined approximately 18% throughout 2011. The significantly higher gross refining margin per barrel positively impacted consolidated gross refining margins by $970 million in 2011 as compared to 2010.

Refining Throughput.  Total refining throughput increased 99 Mbpd, or 21%, to 579 Mbpd during 2011 as compared to 480 Mbpd in 2010 primarily due to our Washington refinery being fully operational for the full year in 2011, as compared to 2010 when we temporarily shut-down processing at our Washington refinery subsequent to the April 2010 incident. Additionally, our throughputs were higher in 2011 because of favorable market conditions, improved reliability and turnarounds at our Martinez, Hawaii, Utah and North Dakota refineries in 2010.

Refined Product Sales.  Revenues from sales of refined products increased $10 billion, or 53%, to $29 billion in 2011 as compared to $19 billion in 2010, primarily due to significantly higher average refined product sales prices and increased refined product sales volumes. Our average product sales price increased $30.06 per barrel, or 33%, to $121.09 per barrel in 2011 as compared to $91.03 in 2010, as higher crude oil prices put upward pressure on product prices. Total refined product sales increased by 88 Mbpd, or 15%, to 660 Mbpd in 2011 as compared to 572 Mbpd in 2010. Refined product sales volumes were impacted by increased demand for diesel fuel and gasoline and additional branded marketing supply agreements.

Cost of Sales and Expenses.  Our average cost of sales increased by $27.30 per barrel, or 33%, to $109.96 per barrel during 2011 as compared to $82.66 during 2010, reflecting higher crude oil prices. Manufacturing and other operating expenses increased by $17 million, or 1%, to $1.3 billion in 2011 as a result of higher energy costs due to significant increases in throughput volumes. We recorded $67 million of business interruption insurance and property insurance recoveries during 2010, as compared to only $37 million in 2011, related to the 2010 Washington refinery incident which reduced cost of sales and operating expenses. Additionally, the elimination of postretirement life insurance benefits resulted in a $32 million gain in 2010.

Loss on Asset Disposals and Impairments.  Loss on asset disposals increased by $12 million, or 25%, primarily due to a change in scope of a capital project at our Wilmington refinery. The change resulted in a $51 million loss related to this project in 2011, as compared to a $20 million loss in 2010. The increase was partially offset by a goodwill write-off of $10 million recorded in 2010 related to out Hawaii refinery. The book value of our Hawaii refinery increased as a result of the 2010 turnaround while the estimated fair value decreased based on estimated future cash flows.

________________

(a) Management uses fuel margin per gallon to compare profitability to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate fuel margin per gallon; different companies may calculate it in different ways. We calculate fuel margin per gallon by dividing fuel gross margin by fuel sales volumes. Investors and analysts use fuel margin per gallon to help analyze and compare companies in the industry on the basis of operating performance. This financial measure should not be considered an alternative to revenues, segment operating income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Fuel margin and fuel margin per gallon include the effect of intersegment purchases from the refining segment at prices which approximate market.

(b) Reflects the acquisition of 49 retail stations from SUPERVALU, Inc. and the transition of 174 retail stations from Thrifty Oil Co. during 2012, and the phased expansion of our branded marketing presence through the addition of approximately 300 wholesale supply contracts, predominantly in the Mid-Continent region, during 2011.

2012 Compared to 2011

Operating Income. Operating income for our retail segment increased $43 million, or 48%, to $132 million in 2012 as compared to $89 million in 2011. During 2012, higher retail fuel margins positively impacted operating income. Total gross margin increased $117 million, or 33% to $469 million in 2012 compared to $352 million in 2011. Retail fuel margin per gallon increased 22% to $0.22 per gallon in 2012 causing fuel gross margins to increase $111 million from 2011. Additionally, fuel sales volumes increased by 214 million gallons, or 14%, in 2012 as compared to 2011 reflecting additional volumes as a result of higher average station count from the acquisition and transition of additional retail stations in 2012. Merchandise and other non-fuel gross margin also increased by $6 million to $84 million during 2012 compared to $78 million in 2011 due to the higher average station count.

49

Fuel sales revenues increased $1.0 billion, or 19%, to $6.1 billion in 2012 as compared to $5.1 billion in 2011, reflecting significantly higher average sales prices and increased fuel sales volumes as a result of higher average station count in 2012. Operating expenses increased $71 million, or 35%, to $273 million during 2012 as compared to $202 million in 2011, primarily due to additional expenses incurred to operate the stations acquired and transitioned in 2012. Our other expenses remained relatively consistent compared to 2011.

2011 Compared to 2010

Operating Income.  Our retail segment operating income decreased $8 million, or 8% to $89 million in 2011 as compared to $97 million in 2010. Total gross margin decreased $6 million, or 2%, to $352 million in 2011 compared to $358 million in 2010. Retail fuel margin per gallon decreased 14% to $0.18 per gallon in 2011 leading fuel gross margins to decrease $5 million from 2010. The decrease was partially offset by a 190 million gallon, or 14%, increase in fuel sales volumes in 2011 as compared to 2010 primarily from the addition of branded marketing supply contracts in the Mid-Continent region, which were added in the first quarter of 2011. Merchandise and other non-fuel gross margin remained stable at $78 million during 2011 compared to $79 million in 2010.

Fuel sale revenues increased $1.5 billion, or 42%, to $5.1 billion in 2011 as compared to $3.6 billion in 2010, reflecting significantly higher average sales prices and increased fuel sales volumes. Our other expenses remained relatively consistent compared to 2010.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased $73 million, or 31%, to $310 million in 2012 from $237 million in 2011. The increase was primarily due to a $56 million increase in stock and incentive-based compensation expense. The increase in stock-based compensation expense was driven by higher expense recorded for our stock appreciation rights and performance share awards, which are adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period, and increased by $34 million and $11 million, respectively. Additionally, we incurred transaction costs of approximately $13 million related to the Carson Acquisition, TLLP’s purchase of the Northwest Products System and the sales of various assets to TLLP during 2012.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $5 million or 2% to $237 million in 2011 from $242 million in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense recorded for our restricted common stock and executive phantom stock options, which decreased by $5 million and $6 million, respectively. All of the remaining outstanding executive phantom stock options, which are adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period, were exercised during 2011. Additionally, restricted common stock expense, which is recognized over the vesting period, decreased due to a significant reduction in the number of awards outstanding during the period as a result of vestings and forfeitures.

Interest and Financing Costs, Net. Net interest and financing costs decreased $13 million, or 7%, to $166 million in 2012 from $179 million in 2011. We redeemed $328 million of our Junior Subordinated Notes and senior notes in 2011 and $299 million of our senior notes in 2012, resulting in a decrease in interest expense in 2012. The decrease in interest expense was partially offset by an increase of $6 million for charges associated with the early redemption of debt during 2012 as compared to 2011.

Net interest and financing costs increased $24 million, or 15% to $179 million in 2011 from $155 million in 2010. The increase reflects a $13 million charge to expense the remaining unamortized discount on the Junior Subordinated Notes, which were redeemed during 2011, a $9 million charge related to premiums paid associated with the redemption of a portion of our 6.250% Senior Notes and 6.500% Senior Notes, and interest on borrowings outstanding under the Tesoro Panama Company S.A. (“TPSA”) Revolving Credit Facility, which was entered into in October 2010. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense resulting from a reduction in outstanding long-term debt.

Other Income (Expense), Net. We incurred other expense, net of $26 million in 2012, which includes accruals related to certain legal matters partially offset by receipts associated with the settlement of a pipeline rate proceeding during the year. We recorded other expense, net of $13 million in 2010 primarily as a result of a summary judgment award granted in late 2010 related to Chevron’s assertion that it was entitled to a share of our 2008 refund from the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (“TAPS”).

Income Tax Expense.   Income tax expense was $442 million in 2012 compared to $342 million in 2011 and $4 million in 2010. The combined federal and state effective income tax rates were 36%, 38%, and (16)% in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The $4 million of tax expense in 2010 included a $7 million charge related to health care legislation enacted in 2010.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Overview

We operate in an environment where our capital resources and liquidity are impacted by changes in the price of crude oil and refined products, availability of trade credit, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. These factors include the level of consumer demand for transportation fuels, weather conditions, fluctuations in seasonal demand, governmental regulations, geo-political conditions and overall market and global economic conditions. See “Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 34 for further information related to risks and other factors. Future capital expenditures, as well as borrowings under our credit agreements and other sources of capital, may be affected by these conditions.

Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations and borrowing availability under revolving lines of credit. During 2012 and 2011, we had additional cash flows related to TLLP’s initial public offering of common units in 2011 (“TLLP’s Initial Offering”) and sales of assets to TLLP during 2012. We ended 2012 with $1.6 billion of cash and cash equivalents and no borrowings under the Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility or the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility. We believe available capital resources will be adequate to meet our capital expenditure, working capital and debt service requirements.

We expect to close the Carson Acquisition during the first half of 2013 and intend to fund the purchase with a combination of cash and debt, including borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and a $500 million term loan credit facility. Additionally, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility to allow for an increase in the capacity to $3.0 billion just prior to closing the Carson Acquisition. We intend to offer TLLP the integrated logistics system to be acquired in the Carson Acquisition in multiple transactions during the first twelve months following the closing of the Carson Acquisition, with a goal for the first transaction to coincide with the closing of the Carson Acquisition.

Credit Facilities Overview

We had available capacity under our credit agreements as follows at December 31, 2012 (in millions):

	Total Capacity (a)		Amount Borrowed		Outstanding Letters of Credit		Available Capacity
Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility (b)	$	1,850	$	—	$	665	$	1,185
TLLP Revolving Credit Facility	300		—		—		300
Letter of Credit Facilities	1,146		—		637		509
Total credit facilities	$	3,296	$	—	$	1,302	$	1,994

________________

(a) Subsequent to December 31, 2012, we entered into a term loan credit facility and amended our Revolving Credit Facility and the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility. As of February 18, 2013, the total capacity under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility was $500 million. Just prior to closing the Carson Acquisition, the term loan credit facility will provide for $500 million of borrowing capacity and the amended Revolving Credit Facility provides for an increase in the capacity to $3.0 billion.

(b) Borrowing base is the lesser of the amount of the periodically adjusted borrowing base or the agreement’s total capacity.

As of December 31, 2012, our credit facilities were subject to the following expenses and fees:

Credit Facility	30 day Eurodollar (LIBOR) Rate	Eurodollar Margin	Base Rate	Base Rate Margin	Commitment Fee (unused portion)
Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility ($1.85 billion) (c)	0.21%	1.75%	3.25%	0.75%	0.375%
TLLP Revolving Credit Facility ($300 million) (d)	0.21%	3.25%	3.25%	2.25%	0.50%

________________

(c) We have the option to elect if borrowings will bear interest at either a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable period, plus, the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin varies based upon our Revolving Credit Facility’s credit ratings. Letters of credit outstanding under the Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility incur fees at the Eurodollar margin rate. We also incur commitment fees for the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate.

(d) TLLP has the option to elect if borrowings bear interest at either a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable period, plus, the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin varies based upon a certain leverage ratio, as defined by the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility. TLLP incurs commitment fees for the unused portion of the TLLP Revolving Credit at an annual rate. In January 2013, TLLP amended this facility which among other things, decreases the borrowing rates under this facility. See additional information under TLLP Revolving Credit Facility below.

51

Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”)

At December 31, 2012, our Revolving Credit Facility provided for borrowings (including letters of credit) up to the lesser of the amount of a periodically adjusted borrowing base of approximately $3.5 billion, consisting of Tesoro’s eligible cash and cash equivalents, receivables and petroleum inventories, net of the standard reserve as defined, or the Revolving Credit Facility’s total capacity of $1.85 billion. The total available capacity can be increased up to an aggregate amount of $2.25 billion, subject to receiving increased commitments. At December 31, 2012, we had unused credit availability of approximately 64% of the eligible borrowing base.

Effective January 4, 2013, we entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which allows the capacity of our Revolving Credit Facility to be automatically increased to an aggregate of $3.0 billion, just prior to closing the Carson Acquisition (“Increase Effective Date”). Additionally, the agreement allows for us to request that the capacity be increased up to an aggregate of $4.0 billion, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders; however, we must offer to reduce the commitments by at least $500 million on or prior to the 18 month anniversary of the Increase Effective Date and by an additional $500 million on or prior to the two year anniversary of the Increase Effective Date. The Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature, and commitments thereunder will terminate, on January 4, 2018.

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of Tesoro’s active domestic subsidiaries excluding TLGP, TLLP and its subsidiaries, and certain foreign subsidiaries, and is secured by substantially all of Tesoro’s active domestic subsidiaries’ crude oil and refined product inventories, cash and receivables.

Our Revolving Credit Facility and senior notes retain various restrictions and covenants that could potentially limit our ability to respond to market conditions, raise additional debt or equity capital, pay cash dividends, or purchase our common stock. The limitation in each of our debt agreements is based on limits on restricted payments, as defined in our debt agreements. The aggregate amount of restricted payments cannot exceed an amount defined in each of the debt agreements. The indentures for our senior notes contain covenants and restrictions, which are customary for notes of this nature. We do not believe that the limitations will restrict our ability to pay dividends or purchase stock under our current programs. These existing covenants and restrictions may limit, among other things, our ability to:

• pay dividends and make other distributions with respect to our capital stock and purchase, redeem or retire our capital stock;

• incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock;

• voluntary repayments of subordinate debt;

• sell assets unless the proceeds from those sales are used to repay debt or are reinvested in our business;

• incur liens on assets to secure certain debt;

• engage in certain business activities;

• make certain payments and distributions from our subsidiaries;

• engage in certain mergers or consolidations and transfers of assets; and

• enter into certain transactions with affiliates.

Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, we have a default covenant, which requires us to maintain specified levels of tangible net worth. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Letter of Credit Agreements

The Revolving Credit Facility allows us to obtain letters of credit under separate letter of credit agreements for foreign crude oil purchases. As of December 31, 2012, our five separate uncommitted letter of credit agreements had $637 million outstanding. Letters of credit outstanding under these agreements incur fees and are secured by the crude oil inventories for which they are issued. Capacity under these letter of credit agreements is available on an uncommitted basis and can be terminated by either party, at any time.

52

TPSA Revolving Credit Facility

TPSA, a directly and wholly owned subsidiary of Tesoro, entered into a 364-day uncommitted, secured revolving credit agreement in October 2011. Effective August 16, 2012, we terminated the TPSA revolving credit facility agreement. TPSA had no borrowings under the agreement at the time of termination and did not incur any early termination penalties.

Term Loan Credit Facility

Effective January 28, 2013, we entered into a term loan credit facility agreement (the “Term Loan Facility”) which allows us to borrow up to an aggregate of $500 million on or prior to August 9, 2013. The proceeds of the borrowing will be used to fund the contemplated Carson Acquisition and for other general corporate purposes. The obligations under the Term Loan Facility will be secured by all equity interests of Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC and Tesoro Alaska Company, the Tesoro and USA Gasoline trademarks and those trademarks containing the name “ARCO” that will be acquired by Tesoro in the Carson Acquisition, and junior liens on certain assets.

Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility will bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.25% or a base rate plus 1.25%. We also incur a commitment fee commencing on March 1, 2013 on the term loan commitments. The Term Loan Facility matures three years from the initial borrowing. The Term Loan Facility will be subject to equal quarterly payments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum of the initial borrowing with the final payment of all amounts outstanding due on the maturity date.

The Term Loan Facility contains affirmative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default substantially similar to those set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility and contains negative covenants substantially similar to those set forth in the indentures for the 4.250% Senior Notes due 2017 (“2017 Notes”) and 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022 (“2022 Notes”).

TLLP Revolving Credit Facility

TLLP entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and financial institutions in April 2011. The TLLP Revolving Credit Facility is non-recourse to Tesoro, except for TLGP, and is guaranteed by all of TLLP’s subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of TLLP’s assets. As of December 31, 2012, the total loan availability under the TLLP Credit Facility was $300 million. Borrowings are available under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility up to the total available revolving capacity of the facility. As of December 31, 2012, TLLP had no borrowings outstanding under this facility.

Effective January 4, 2013, TLLP entered into an amended and restated senior secured revolving credit agreement, which increases total revolving loan availability under the facility from $300 million to $500 million and allows TLLP to request that the availability be increased up to an aggregate of $650 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders. Further, the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility decreases the Eurodollar margin and base rate margins under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility between 0.5% to 1.0%, depending on our leverage ratio, and includes a provision that allows a temporary increase in certain of TLLP’s financial covenants in the event of a material acquisition. The TLLP Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2017.

The TLLP Revolving Credit Facility retains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, may limit or restrict TLLP’s ability (as well as those of TLLP’s subsidiaries) to:

• incur additional indebtedness and incur liens on assets to secure certain debt;

• pay and make certain restricted payments;

• make distributions from its subsidiaries;

• dispose of assets unless the proceeds from those sales are used to repay debt or are reinvested in its business;

• make certain amendments, modifications or supplements to organization documents and material contracts;

• engage in certain business activities;

• engage in certain mergers or consolidations and transfers of assets; and

• enter into certain transactions with affiliates.

53

We do not believe that these limitations will restrict TLLP’s ability to pay distributions. Additionally, covenants require TLLP to maintain certain interest coverage and leverage ratios. TLLP was in compliance with all TLLP Revolving Credit Facility covenants and conditions as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Capitalization

Our capital structure at December 31, 2012 was comprised of the following (in millions):

Debt, including current maturities:	December 31, 2012
Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility	$	—
TLLP Revolving Credit Facility	—
4.250% Senior Notes due 2017	450
9.750% Senior Notes due 2019 (net of unamortized discount of $9 million)	291
5.875% TLLP Senior Notes due 2020	350
5.375% Senior Notes due 2022	475
Capital lease obligations and other	24
Total Debt	1,590
Stockholders’ Equity	4,737
Total Capitalization	$	6,327

At December 31, 2012, our debt to capitalization ratio had decreased to 25% compared to 30% at December 31, 2011, reflecting a decrease in total debt and an increase in net earnings during 2012. The decrease in total debt reflects the reduction of all outstanding borrowings on the TPSA Revolving Credit Facility, TLLP Revolving Credit Facility and the redemption of our 6.250% Senior Notes during 2012. The 6.625% Senior Notes due 2015 and 6.500% Senior Notes due 2017 were refinanced through the issuance of the new 2017 Notes and 2022 Notes. This decrease was partially offset by the issuance of $350 million of Senior Notes due 2020 by TLLP during 2012.

Our total debt to capitalization excluding TLLP was 23% and 31%, at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which excludes TLLP total debt of $354 million and $50 million and noncontrolling interest of $486 million and $310 million as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. TLLP’s debt is non-recourse to Tesoro, except for Tesoro Logistics GP.

6.250% Senior Notes due 2012

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we redeemed all of our outstanding $299 million6.250% Senior Notes due November 2012.

4.250% Senior Notes due 2017 and 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022

In September 2012, we issued $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Notes due 2017 and $475 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022. The 2017 and 2022 Senior Notes contain terms, events of default and covenants that are customary for notes of this nature. These notes are unsecured obligations and guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries, excluding TLGP and TLLP and its subsidiaries.

6.625% Senior Notes due 2015 and 6.500% Senior Notes due 2017

In conjunction with the issuance of the 2017 and 2022 Notes, we retired all of our $450 million outstanding 6.625% Senior Notes due 2015 and $473 million outstanding 6.500% Senior Notes due 2017. The aggregate purchase price for these notes totaled approximately $970 million including accrued interest and premiums of $24 million and $23 million, respectively. In addition, we expensed $4 million of remaining unamortized debt issuance costs on these notes.

5.875% TLLP Senior Notes due 2020

TLLP completed a private offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes, due October 2020 in September 2012. The proceeds were used to fund TLLP’s acquisition of the Long Beach Assets, to repay the outstanding balance on the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility and to fund a portion of the acquisition of the Anacortes Rail Facility.

54

The TLLP 2020 Notes are subject to a registration rights agreement under which TLLP has agreed to exchange the notes for registered publicly-traded notes having substantially identical terms as the TLLP 2020 Notes. The TLLP 2020 Notes also contain customary terms, events of default and covenants. The TLLP 2020 Notes are unsecured and guaranteed by all of TLLP’s domestic subsidiaries, except Tesoro Logistics Finance Corp., the co-issuer of the TLLP 2020 Notes. The TLLP 2020 Notes are non-recourse to Tesoro, except for TLGP.

Share Repurchase Programs

In August 2012, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a $500 million share repurchase program. Under the program, management is permitted to purchase Tesoro common stock at its discretion in the open market. The authorization has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We purchased approximately 2.5 million shares of our common stock for approximately $100 million during 2012 under this share repurchase program. Additionally, in January and February 2013, we purchased approximately 1.2 million shares for approximately $55 million under this share repurchase program.

During 2011, our Board approved a program designed to offset the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards. As a result, we purchased approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $24.81 per share for approximately $26 million during 2012, and 4.7 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $20.19 per share for approximately $95 million during 2011.

Cash Dividends

In August 2012, our Board authorized the initiation of a regular quarterly cash dividend and approved an initial dividend payment of $0.12 per share. In October 2012, our Board approved an increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.15 per share. During 2012, we paid cash dividends on common stock totaling $0.27 per share, or $38 million. We did not pay any cash dividends during 2011 or 2010. On February 5, 2013, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.20 per share. The dividend is payable on March 15, 2013 to holders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2013.

Cash Flow Summary

Components of our cash flows are set forth below (in millions):

	2012			2011			2010
Cash Flows From (Used in):
Operating activities	$	1,585		$	689		$	385
Investing activities	(696		)	(291		)	(295		)
Financing activities	(150		)	(146		)	145
Increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	739		$	252		$	235

2012 Compared to 2011

Net cash from operating activities increased $896 million, or 130%, to $1.6 billion in 2012, as compared to $689 million in 2011. The increase in net cash from operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in inventories of approximately 1.5 million barrels during 2012 compared to a significant increase in inventories of approximately 4.1 million barrels during 2011, as well as higher net earnings of $207 million in 2012, which includes a non-cash impairment charge of $228 million related to our Hawaii refinery. Net cash used in investing activities increased $405 million, or 139% to $696 million in 2012 as compared to $291 million in 2011 due to increased cash capital expenditures of $231 million as a result of our 2012 capital programs. We also made advance payments to secure the Carson Acquisition and TLLP’s acquisition of the Northwest Products System of $90 million and $40 million, respectively, and paid $37 million to acquire 49 retail stations from SUPERVALU, Inc. during 2012.

55

Net cash used in financing activities increased $4 million from $146 million in 2011 to $150 million in 2012. The primary use of cash during 2012 was the redemption of the remaining 6.250% Senior Notes outstanding for $299 million, the purchase of common stock for approximately $131 million, total net repayments on the TPSA Revolving Credit Facility and TLLP Revolving Credit Facility of $167 million, and dividend payments of $38 million. Sources of cash during 2012 include proceeds from TLLP’s issuance of $350 million aggregate principal amount 5.875% Senior Notes and proceeds from TLLP’s issuance of its common units of $171 million. In addition, we issued $925 million aggregate principal amount senior notes, to refinance the remaining outstanding 6.625% Senior Notes and 6.500% Senior Notes. Net cash used in financing activities during 2011 is comprised of $178 million for the redemption of a portion of the 6.250% Senior Notes and 6.500% Senior Notes, $150 million for the redemption of the Junior Subordinated Notes, the purchase of common stock for $101 million, and a reduction in borrowings under the TPSA Revolving Credit Facility of $33 million, offset by proceeds from TLLP’s Initial Offering of $288 million.

On the balance sheet, working capital (excluding cash) increased $114 million in 2012, primarily as a result of a decrease in current maturities of debt during 2012, including the redemption of the $299 million remaining 6.250% Senior Notes due 2012 and net repayments of $117 million of short-term borrowings on the TPSA Revolving Credit Facility. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in inventories of approximately 1.5 million barrels during 2012, and increases in accrued liabilities as a result of higher accrued employee costs and tax liabilities.

2011 Compared to 2010

Net cash from operating activities increased $304 million, or 79%, to $689 million in 2011 as compared to $385 million in 2010 primarily due to higher cash earnings. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $4 million, or 1% to $291 million in 2011 as compared to $295 million in 2010 primarily due to a decrease in cash outflows for capital expenditures. Financing activities provided sources of cash of $145 million in 2010 and uses of cash of $146 million in 2011 for a decrease in cash flows from financing activities of $291 million from 2010 to 2011. In 2011, net cash outflows from financing activities include debt repurchases of $328 million, stock purchases of $95 million and $37 million in financing costs and other that is primarily related to premiums paid on the debt repurchases. These outflows were partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common units related to TLLP of $288 million and net borrowings under revolving credit agreements of $17 million. In 2010, net cash inflows from financing activities were primarily related to net borrowings under revolving credit agreements of $150 million.

Working capital requirements (excluding cash) increased $218 million in 2011, primarily related to significant increases in crude oil and product prices, which impact inventory values, related payables and trade receivables. Additionally, refining feedstock inventories increased by approximately 18% from December 31, 2010, which are partially offset by net repayments of $33 million of short-term borrowings on the TPSA Revolving Credit Facility, and an increase in current maturities of short term debt related to the 6.250% Senior Notes, which were scheduled to mature within the next twelve months.

________________

(a) The cost estimates for capital expenditures exclude estimates for capitalized interest and labor costs.

(b) 2012 actual capital expenditure disclosures include capitalized interest and labor costs associated with the project.

(c) The expansion project at the Utah refinery is designed to improve yields of gasoline and diesel, improve the flexibility of processing crude feedstocks, and increase throughput capacity by 4 Mbpd, and is expected to be completed in 2 phases.

(d) The power reliability improvement project is designed to upgrade the Utah refinery electrical infrastructure to current standards. In addition, the upgrade will support the refinery expansion project.

(e) The capital improvements to our Avon marine wharf facility involve replacing the dock structures and fire protection equipment. The upgraded facility will allow us to increase our ability to move products from our Martinez refinery, thus supporting higher utilization of our refining assets.

(f) The Anacortes Rail Facility supplies Bakken crude oil from North Dakota to our Washington refinery. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we sold the Anacortes Rail Facility to TLLP.

(g) The vacuum distillation unit replacement at the Wilmington refinery will upgrade product yield from petroleum coke to clean products.

(h) The expansion project at the North Dakota refinery increased throughput capacity from 58 Mbpd to 68 Mbpd in 2012. The expansion allows the refinery to process additional Bakken crude oil delivered via the TLLP High Plains System.

(i) The expansion of the diesel desulfurization unit is expected to increase capacity of the unit from 17 Mbpd to 22 Mbpd and improve diesel fuel yield at the North Dakota refinery.

(j) Involves the rebranding of retail stations in southern California leased from Thrifty Oil Co. and certain of its affiliates. We transitioned 174 of these stations during 2012 with the remaining stations to be phased in during 2014.

(k) Involves the replacement of dispensers and rebranding of the 49 retail stations acquired from SUPERVALU, Inc. in the first quarter of 2012. We paid approximately $37 million for the assets, including inventories of approximately $3 million.

Our capital spending during 2012 was $559 million. Our capital spending budget for 2013 of $530 million reflects the Company’s emphasis on long term strategic priorities including continued focus on safety and reliability and greater focus on value-driven growth. Our 2013 budgeted and 2012 actual capital spending amounts are comprised of the following project categories at December 31, 2012:

	Percent of 2013 Capital Budget	Percent of 2012 Capital Spending
Project Category
Regulatory	20%	16%
Sustaining	30%	27%
Income Improvement	50%	57%

57

Refinery Turnaround Spending

Our 2013 budget for refinery turnarounds and catalyst is $310 million. The turnaround spending is expected to be primarily at our Martinez, Washington, Wilmington and Utah refineries. Refining throughput and yields in 2013 will be affected by these turnarounds. During 2012, we spent $261 million for refinery turnarounds and catalysts, primarily at our Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Martinez and Wilmington refineries.

Environmental Capital Expenditures

The EPA issued regulations in February 2007 that require the reduction of benzene in gasoline. We spent approximately $11 million in 2012 to complete projects at our Alaska, Hawaii and Utah refineries to comply with the regulations. This completes the capital spending required to meet these standards.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than our leasing arrangements described in Note Q to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8, we have not entered into any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that would result in off-balance sheet liabilities.

Environmental and Other Matters

We are a party to various litigation and contingent loss situations, including environmental and income tax matters, arising in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcomes of these matters with certainty, we have accrued for the estimated liabilities when appropriate. We believe that the outcome of these matters will not have a material impact on our liquidity or financial position, although the resolution of certain of these matters could have a material impact on our interim or annual results of operations. Additionally, if applicable, we accrue receivables for probable third-party recoveries.

We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which change frequently, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require us to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites, install additional controls, or make other modifications to certain emission sources, equipment or facilities.

Future expenditures may be required to comply with the Clean Air Act and other federal, state and local requirements for our various sites, including our refineries, tank farms, pipelines, and currently and previously owned or operated terminal and retail station properties. The impact of these legislative and regulatory developments, including any greenhouse gas cap-and-trade program or low carbon fuel standards, could result in increased compliance costs, additional operating restrictions on our business and an increase in the cost of the products we manufacture, which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In 2009, the EPA proposed regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. The first of these regulations, finalized on April 1, 2010, set standards for the control of greenhouse gas emissions from light trucks and cars. It could reduce the demand for our manufactured transportation fuels. In addition, other finalized regulations include permitting requirements for stationary sources that emit greenhouse gases above a certain threshold. The resulting permitting requirements could impose emission controls that increase required capital expenditures at our refineries. We cannot currently predict its impact on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In December 2007, the Energy Independence and Security Act was enacted into federal law, which created a second Renewable Fuels Standard (“RFS2”). This standard requires the total volume of renewable transportation fuels (including ethanol and advanced biofuels) sold or introduced in the U.S. to reach 16.6 billion gallons in 2013 and to increase to 36 billion gallons by 2022. The requirements could reduce future demand growth for petroleum products that we manufacture. In the near term, the RFS2 presents ethanol production and logistics challenges for the ethanol, alternative fuel and refining and marketing industries. We are currently meeting the RFS2 requirements through a combination of blending renewable fuels obtained from third parties and purchases of Renewable Identification Numbers in the open market that are generated by third parties. Additional expenditures could be required to logistically accommodate the increased use of renewable transportation fuels. While we cannot currently estimate the ultimate impact of this legislation, and currently believe that the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position or liquidity, the ultimate outcome could have a material impact on our results of operations.

58

In California, Assembly Bill 32 (“AB 32”), created a statewide cap on greenhouse gas emissions and requires that the state return to 1990 emission levels by 2020. AB 32 focuses on using market mechanisms, such as a cap-and-trade program and a low carbon fuel standard (“LCFS”) to achieve emissions reduction targets. The LCFS became effective in January 2010 and requires a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity of gasoline and diesel fuel by 2020. In 2011, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) approved cap-and-trade requirements, and all of AB 32 related regulations are to be fully implemented by 2020. In December 2011, a court ruled the LCFS unconstitutional. CARB has appealed the decision. On April 23, 2012, the U.S. 9^th Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the lower court’s preliminary injunction of CARB’s enforcement of the standard pending the appeal. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the court’s ruling on the LCFS, and the implementation and implications of AB 32 will take many years to realize. Consequently, we cannot currently predict its impact on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

We are subject to extensive federal, state and foreign tax laws and regulations. Newly enacted tax laws and regulations, and changes in existing tax laws and regulations, could result in increased expenditures in the future. We are also subject to audits by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities in the normal course of business. It is possible that tax audits could result in claims against us in excess of recorded liabilities. We believe that resolution of any such claim(s) would not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity. We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months.

Environmental Liabilities

We are incurring and expect to continue to incur expenses for environmental liabilities at a number of currently and previously owned or operated refining, pipeline, terminal and retail station properties. We have accrued liabilities for these expenses and believe these accruals are adequate based on current information and projections that can be reasonably estimated. Our environmental accruals are based on estimates including engineering assessments, and it is possible that our projections will change, and that additional costs will be recorded as more information becomes available.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, our accruals for environmental expenditures totaled $86 million and $93 million, respectively. These accruals include $54 million and $55 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to environmental liabilities for site cleanup activities assumed from a prior owner, arising from operations at our Martinez refinery prior to August 2000. Of the $54 million accrued at December 31, 2012, approximately $45 million is subject to a cost-share agreement where we are responsible for 75% of the expenditures. We cannot reasonably determine the full extent of remedial activities that may be required at the Martinez refinery. Therefore, it is possible that we will identify additional investigation and remediation costs as more information becomes available. We have filed insurance claims under environmental insurance policies. These policies provide coverage up to $190 million for expenditures in excess of $50 million in self-insurance, but the insurer has challenged coverage and filed a declaratory relief action in federal court. We have not recognized possible insurance recoveries related to this matter.

We have investigated conditions at certain active wastewater treatment units at our Martinez refinery.  The investigation was driven by an order received in 2004 from the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board. The order named us as well as two previous owners of the Martinez refinery.  We cannot currently estimate the amount of the ultimate resolution of the order, but we believe it will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Washington Refinery Fire

In April 2010, the naphtha hydrotreater unit at our Washington refinery was involved in a fire, which fatally injured seven employees and rendered the unit inoperable. Subsequent to the incident, refinery processing was temporarily shut down until November 2010 when the reconstruction was completed.

In July 2012, we settled all claims brought by the estates and families of the seven fatally injured employees and a third-party truck driver (Donald and Peggy Zimmerman et al. v. Tesoro Corporation and Tesoro Refining and Marketing et al.).  The resolution of these claims did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

We maintain comprehensive property (including business interruption), workers’compensation, and general liability insurance policies with significant loss limits. Our business interruption insurance deductible is satisfied after we have exceeded both 60 days of operational disruption and $25 million in losses primarily based on the operating plan that existed prior to the incident. Our property damage insurance has a $10 million deductible.

59

We have filed business interruption insurance claims and property damage claims related to down time from this incident. We collected $87 million in business interruption insurance recoveries that relate to down time from the incident, which were recorded as an offset to cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations. Of the $87 million collected, $32 million was recorded in 2011 and $55 million was recorded in 2010. We received $17 million to settle the property damage claim filed for this incident, which was recorded as a reduction to operating expense in our statements of consolidated operations. Of the $17 million, $5 million was recorded in 2011 and $12 million was recorded in 2010. As of December 31, 2012, all property damage claims have been settled but certain business interruption claims remain open.

Other Matters

In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. Large, and sometimes unspecified, damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters. We have not established accruals for these matters unless a loss is probable, and the amount of loss is currently estimable. On the basis of existing information, we believe that the resolution of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our liquidity or financial position, although the resolution of certain of these matters could have a material impact on our interim or annual results of operations.

In October 2011, MF Global Holding Ltd. (“MF Global”), a broker-dealer we used for derivatives transactions, announced filing under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy court for the Southern District of New York. We ceased doing business with MF Global and liquidated all accounts during 2011. In July 2012, we contracted to sell the remaining $24 million in cash collateral held by MF Global for approximately $21 million.

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, also known as the Financial Reform Act of 2010, was enacted into federal law. Key provisions of the act require that standardized swaps be cleared through a registered clearinghouse and executed on a registered trading platform with specific margin requirements. These requirements could make these products more complicated or costly by creating new regulatory risks and increasing reporting, capital, and administrative requirements for companies that use derivatives for hedging and trading activities. Final rules implementing this statute were deferred until mid-2013. Although we cannot predict the ultimate impact of these rules which may result in increased hedging costs and cash collateral requirements, we believe they will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Legal

We are a defendant, along with other manufacturing, supply and marketing defendants, in two remaining lawsuits alleging methyl tertiary butyl ether (“MTBE”) contamination in groundwater. The defendants are being sued for having manufactured MTBE and having manufactured, supplied and distributed gasoline containing MTBE. The plaintiffs in the remaining cases, all in California, are municipalities and governmental authorities. The plaintiffs allege, in part, that the defendants are liable for manufacturing or distributing a defective product. The suits generally seek individual, unquantified compensatory and punitive damages and attorney’s fees. We intend to vigorously assert our defenses against these claims. While we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of these matters, we have established an accrual for them and believe that the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

During 2009, Chevron filed a lawsuit against us claiming they are entitled to a share of the refunds we received in 2008 from the owners of TAPS. We received $50 million in 2008, net of contingent legal fees, for excessive intrastate rates charged by TAPS during 1997 through 2000, and the period of 2001 through June 2003. Chevron is asserting that it is entitled to a share of its portion of the refunds for retroactive price adjustments under our previous crude oil contracts with them. The trial court judge granted Chevron’s motion for summary judgment and awarded them $16 million, including interest, in September 2010. We disagree with the trial court and have appealed the decision to the Alaska Supreme Court in which the proceeding is now pending. We have established an accrual for this matter and believe its resolution will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Environmental

On October 15, 2012, certain non-governmental organizations filed a Request for Agency Action (the “Request”) with the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (“UDEQ”) concerning our Utah refinery.  The Request challenges the UDEQ’s permitting of our refinery conversion project alleging that the permits do not conform to the requirements of the Clean Air Act.  As the permittee, we are the “real party in interest” and will be defending the permits with UDEQ.  While we are still evaluating the Request and cannot estimate the timing or estimated amount, if any, associated with the outcome, we do not believe it will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The EPA has alleged that we have violated certain Clean Air Act regulations at our Alaska, Washington, Martinez, Hawaii and Utah refineries. We are continuing discussions of the EPA’s claims with the EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”). We previously received a notice of violation (“NOV”) in March 2011 from the EPA alleging violations of Title V of the Clean Air Act at our Alaska refinery. The alleged violations in the NOV arise from a 2007 state of Alaska inspection and inspections by the EPA in 2008 and 2010. We also previously received NOVs in 2005 and 2008 alleging violations of the Clean Air Act at our Washington refinery. We are discussing all of these allegations with the EPA and DOJ. The ultimate resolution of these matters could require us to incur material capital expenditures and/or civil penalties. While we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of these matters, and currently believe that the outcome will not have a material impact on our liquidity or financial position, the ultimate resolution could have a material impact on our interim or annual results of operations.

Long-Term Commitments

Contractual Commitments

We have numerous contractual commitments for purchases associated with the operation of our refineries, debt service and leases (see Notes M and Q to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8). We also have minimum contractual spending requirements for certain capital projects. The contractual commitments detailed below do not include our contractual obligations to TLLP under our various fee-based commercial agreements as these related-party transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes our annual contractual commitments as of December 31, 2012 (in millions):

Contractual Obligation	Total		2013		2014		2015		2016		2017		Thereafter
Long-term debt obligations (a)	$	2,262	$	94	$	94	$	94	$	94	$	540	$	1,346
Capital lease obligations (b)	34		5		5		4		4		4		12
Operating lease obligations (b)	1,246		221		162		142		134		101		486
Crude oil supply obligations (c)	14,008		5,585		2,858		2,224		1,472		527		1,342
Other purchase obligations (d)	970		307		162		118		88		59		236
Capital expenditure obligations (e)	123		123		—		—		—		—		—
Total Contractual Obligations	$	18,643	$	6,335	$	3,281	$	2,582	$	1,792	$	1,231	$	3,422

________________

(a) Includes maturities of principal and interest payments, excluding capital lease obligations. Amounts and timing may be different from our estimated commitments due to potential voluntary debt prepayments and borrowings.

(b) Capital lease obligations include amounts classified as interest. Operating lease obligations primarily represent our future minimum noncancellable lease commitments. Operating lease obligations primarily include lease arrangements with initial or remaining noncancellable terms in excess of one year and are not reduced by minimum rentals to be received by us under subleases.

(c) Represents an estimate of our short-term and long-term contractual purchase commitments for crude oil, with remaining terms ranging from three months to seven years. Prices under these term agreements fluctuate due to market-responsive pricing provisions. To estimate our annual commitments under these contracts, we estimated crude oil prices using actual market prices by crude oil type as of December 31, 2012, with prices ranging from $72 per barrel to $114per barrel, and volumes based on the contract’s minimum purchase requirements. We also purchase additional crude oil under short-term renewable contracts and in the spot market, which is not included in the table above.

(d) Represents primarily long-term commitments for the transportation of crude oil and refined products as well as to purchase industrial gases, chemical processing services and utilities at our refineries. These purchase obligations are based on the contract’s minimum volume requirements.

(e) Minimum contractual spending requirements for certain capital projects.

We also have other noncurrent liabilities pertaining to our defined benefit plans and other postretirement benefits, environmental liabilities and asset retirement obligations. With the exception of amounts classified as current there is uncertainty as to the timing of future cash flows related to these obligations. As such, we have excluded the future cash flows from the contractual commitments table above. See additional information on pension and other postretirement benefits, environmental liabilities and asset retirement obligations in Note P, Note Q and Note N, respectively, to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8.

61

In addition, due to the uncertainty of the timing of future cash flows with our unrecognized tax benefits, with the exception of amounts classified as current, we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement. Accordingly, we have excluded from the table $12 million of unrecognized tax benefits recorded as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Related to these unrecognized tax benefits, we have also recorded a liability for potential interest and penalties of $5 million at December 31, 2012. See Note O to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further information.

Pension Funding

We provide a qualified defined benefit retirement plan for all eligible employees, with benefits based on years of service and compensation. Our long-term expected return on plan assets is 7.00% as of December 31, 2012, and the return on our funded employee pension plan assets was $34 million in 2012 and $28 million in 2011. Based on a 4.06% discount rate and fair values of plan assets as of December 31, 2012, the assets in our funded employee pension plan were equal to approximately 51% of the projected benefit obligation. On July 6, 2012, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21^st Century Act (“MAP-21”) was signed into law which, includes provisions for pension funding relief for plan sponsors by stabilizing the interest rates plan sponsors use to determine their pension funding requirements.  Previous funding rules required using a discount rate based on a two-year average of high quality corporate bond rates to determine pension liabilities and minimum contributions.  The new legislation also stipulates that the discount rate falls within a 10% corridor of a 25-year average corporate bond rate.  The corridor will grow 5% per year.  The provisions of MAP-21 are effective for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2012.  On this new MAP-21 basis, at January 1, 2012 the adjusted funding target attainment percentage (a funding measure defined under applicable pension regulations) was 108%. Tesoro contributed $48 million during 2012, a portion of which was in excess of the minimum required. Future contributions are affected by returns on plan assets, discount rates, employee demographics, regulatory environments and other factors. See Note P to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further discussion.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are described in Note A to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8. We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We consider the following policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact our financial condition and results of operations.

Receivables — Our trade receivables are stated at their invoiced amounts, less an allowance for potentially uncollectible amounts. We monitor the credit and payment experience of our customers and manage our loss exposure through our credit policies and procedures. The estimated allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our general loss experience and identified loss exposures on individual accounts. Actual losses could vary from estimates as global economic conditions and the related credit environment could change.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Acquired Intangibles — We calculate depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives and salvage values of our assets. When assets are placed into service, we make estimates with respect to their useful lives that we believe are reasonable. However, factors such as maintenance levels, economic conditions impacting the demand for these assets, and regulatory or environmental requirements could cause us to change our estimates, thus impacting the future calculation of depreciation and amortization.

We evaluate these assets for potential impairment when an asset disposition is probable or when there are indicators of impairment (for example, current period operating losses combined with a history of operating losses or a temporary shutdown of a refinery) and, if so, assessing whether the asset net book values are recoverable from estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The actual amount of an impairment loss to be recorded, if any, is equal to the amount by which the asset’s net book value exceeds its fair market value. Fair market value is based on the present values of estimated future cash flows in the absence of quoted market prices. Estimates of future cash flows and fair market values of assets require subjective assumptions with regard to several factors, including an assessment of global market conditions, future operating results and forecasts of the remaining useful lives of the assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Providing sensitivity analysis if other assumptions were used in performing the impairment evaluations is not practicable due to the significant number of assumptions involved in the estimates. At December 31, 2012, we evaluated certain of our refineries for potential impairment. See Notes C and J to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further discussion of the impairment analysis and certain losses resulting from the analysis.

Goodwill — As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had a goodwill balance of $36 million. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist for the underlying assets. These indicators include, but are not limited to, a significant change in operating performance, the business climate, legal or regulatory factors, or a planned sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business. An impairment charge would be recognized if the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeded its fair value.

We review the recorded value of our goodwill for impairment annually on November 1st, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may exceed fair value. A quantitative approach was used to review the carrying value of goodwill for impairment in years prior to the period ending December 31, 2011. Our goodwill testing in 2012 and 2011 involved a qualitative approach. As part of our qualitative assessments, we evaluated economic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity specific and reporting unit events. We assessed our overall financial performance and considered other factors that may impact the supply and demand of refined products including: crude oil prices, increased federal fuel efficiency standards for motor vehicles, or other legislation that could have negative implications. We determined the relevance of any entity-specific events or events affecting our reporting units which would have a negative effect on the carrying value of the reporting units. Accordingly, no additional quantitative testing was performed and no goodwill impairment charges were recognized in 2012 or 2011.

63

Environmental Liabilities — At December 31, 2012 and 2011, our total environmental liabilities included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities were $86 million and $93 million, respectively. We record environmental liabilities when environmental assessments and/or proposed environmental remedies are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Usually, the timing of our accruals coincides with assessing the liability and then completing a feasibility study or committing to a formal plan of action. When we complete our analysis or when we commit to a plan of action, we accrue a liability based on the minimum range of the expected costs, unless we consider another amount more likely. We base our cost estimates on the extent of remedial actions required by applicable governing agencies, experience gained from similar environmental projects and the amounts to be paid by other responsible parties.

Accruals for our environmental liabilities require judgment due to the uncertainties related to the magnitude of the liability and timing of the remediation effort. Our environmental liability estimates are subject to change due to potential changes in environmental laws, regulations or interpretations, additional information related to the extent and nature of the liability, and potential improvements in remediation technologies. We do not discount our estimated liabilities to present value.

Legal Liabilities — In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings, and governmental investigations. These matters may involve large or unspecified damages or penalties that may be sought from us and may require years to resolve. We record a liability related to a loss contingency attributable to such legal matters if we determine the loss to be both probable and estimable. The liability is recorded for an amount that is management’s best estimate of the loss, or when a best estimate cannot be made, the minimum loss amount of a range of possible outcomes. Significant judgment is required in estimating such liabilities, the results of which can vary significantly from actual litigation results.

Income Taxes — As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we must assess the likelihood that our deferred income tax assets will be recovered through future taxable income. We must establish a valuation allowance to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely. Significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred income tax assets. We have recorded a valuation allowance of $8 million on certain state credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2012, based on our estimates of taxable income in each jurisdiction in which we operate and the period over which deferred income tax assets will be recoverable. We may need to establish an additional valuation allowance if actual results differ from these estimates or we make adjustments to these estimates in future periods.

We also recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. Tax positions that are not recognized that we have taken or expect to take are generally recorded as liabilities. Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties totaled $17 million and $20 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligations — Our asset retirement obligations totaled $46 million and $26 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We record asset retirement obligations in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government action or contractual arrangement, to incur this liability and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. When the liability is initially recorded, the cost is capitalized by increasing the book value of the related long-lived tangible asset. The liability is accreted through operating expenses to its estimated settlement value and the related capitalized cost is depreciated over the asset’s useful life.

We use the present value of expected cash flows using third-party estimates or historical data to estimate fair value. The calculation of fair value is based on several estimates and assumptions, including inflation, a discount rate, the settlement dates or a range of potential settlement dates and the probabilities associated with settlement. We consider our past practice, industry practice, management’s intent and estimated economic lives to estimate settlement dates. Our estimates are subject to change due to potential changes in laws, regulations or interpretations, additional information related to the extent and nature of the retirement and technological improvements associated with the retirement activities.

We cannot currently make reasonable estimates of the fair values of some retirement obligations, principally those associated with our refineries, pipelines and certain terminals and retail stations, because the related assets have indeterminate useful lives which preclude development of assumptions about the potential timing of settlement dates. Such obligations will be recognized in the period in which sufficient information exists to estimate a range of potential settlement dates.

64

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits — Accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits involves several assumptions and estimates including discount rates, expected rate of return on plan assets, rates of compensation, health care cost trends, inflation, retirement rates and mortality rates. We must assume a rate of return on funded pension plan assets in order to estimate our obligations under our defined benefit plans. Due to the nature of these calculations, we engage an actuarial firm to assist with these estimates and the calculation of certain employee benefit expenses. We record an asset for our plans overfunded status or a liability if the plans are underfunded. The funded status represents the difference between the fair value of our plans’ assets and its projected benefit obligations. While we believe the assumptions we used are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions would affect pension and other postretirement benefits costs and obligations. We determine the discount rate primarily by reference to the effective yields on high quality corporate bonds that have a comparable cash flow pattern to the expected payments to be made under our plans. The expected return on plan assets is based upon the weighted averages of the expected long-term rates of return for the broad categories of investments held in our plans. These assumptions can have a significant effect on the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements.

A one-percentage-point change in the expected return on plan assets and discount rate for the funded qualified employee retirement plan would have had the following effects in 2012 (in millions):

	1-Percentage- Point Increase			1-Percentage- Point Decrease
Expected Rate of Return:
Effect on net periodic pension expense	$	(3	)	$	3
Discount Rate:
Effect on net periodic pension expense	(8		)	9
Effect on projected benefit obligation	(100		)	130

See Note P to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for more information regarding costs and assumptions.

Stock-Based Compensation — We follow the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. We estimate the fair value of options and certain other stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or a Monte Carlo simulation with assumptions based primarily on historical data. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires assumptions including the expected term the stock-based awards are held until exercised, the estimated volatility of our stock price over the expected term, and the number of awards that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The Monte Carlo simulation takes into account the same input assumptions as the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as outlined above; however, it also incorporates into the fair-value determination the possibility that the market condition may not be satisfied and impact of the possible differing stock price paths. Changes in our assumptions may impact the expenses related to our stock-based awards. The fair values of our stock appreciation rights, phantom stock options and performance units are estimated at the end of each reporting period and are recorded as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in our assumptions may impact our liabilities and expenses associated with our stock-based awards.

New Accounting Standards and Disclosures

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Testing

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) in July 2012 related to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. This ASU provides the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If the company believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The company can choose to assess qualitative factors on none, some or all of its indefinite-lived intangible assets. The standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. However, an entity can choose to early adopt the standard, provided that the entity has not yet performed its 2012 annual impairment test or issued its financial statements. Our indefinite lived intangible assets are immaterial to our consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

65

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

The FASB issued an ASU in June 2011, regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. This ASU eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, the company must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, which contains two sections, net income and OCI, or in two separate but consecutive statements. We adopted these presentation requirements and are presenting components of OCI in two consecutive statements.

Additionally, the FASB issued an ASU in February 2013 that provides entities the option of presenting information related to reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements or in the notes to the financial statements for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in the statement where those components are presented. The requirements from the new ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of these requirements will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

The FASB issued an ASU in December 2011, which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of these arrangements on its financial position. The guidance requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In January 2013, the FASB amended and clarified the scope of the disclosures to include only derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions. The provisions for this ASU are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, but may result in additional disclosures.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary source of market risk is the difference between the prices we sell our refined products for and the prices we pay for crude oil and other feedstocks. We use derivative instruments to manage the risks from changes in the prices of crude oil and refined products, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, or to capture market opportunities.

Commodity Price Risks

Our earnings and cash flows from operations depend on the margin, relative to fixed and variable expenses (including the costs of crude oil and other feedstocks), at which we are able to sell our refined products. The prices of crude oil and refined products have fluctuated substantially in recent years and depend on many factors. These factors include the global supply and demand for crude oil and refined products. This demand is impacted by changes in the global economy, the level of foreign and domestic production of crude oil and refined products, geo-political conditions, the availability of imports of crude oil and refined products, the relative strength of the U.S. dollar, the marketing of alternative and competing fuels and the impact of government regulations. The prices we sell our refined products for are also affected by local factors such as local market conditions and the level of operations of other suppliers in our markets.

Prices for refined products are influenced by the price of crude oil. In most cases, an increase or decrease in the price of crude oil results in a corresponding increase or decrease in the price of gasoline and other refined products. The timing, direction and the overall change in refined product prices versus crude oil prices will impact profit margins and could have a significant impact on our earnings and cash flows. Assuming all other factors remained constant, a $1 per barrel change in average gross refining margins, based on our rolling 12-month average throughput of 585 thousand barrels per day (“Mbpd”), would change annualized pre-tax operating income by approximately $214 million.

We maintain inventories of crude oil, intermediate products and refined products, the values of which are subject to fluctuations in market prices. Our inventories of refinery feedstocks and refined products totaled 30 million barrels and 31 million barrels at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The average cost of our refinery feedstocks and refined products at December 31, 2012, was approximately $51 per barrel compared to market prices of approximately $108 per barrel. If market prices decline to a level below the average cost of these inventories, we would be required to write down the carrying value of our inventory to market.

We use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of crude oil and finished products. We also use non-trading derivative instruments to manage price risks associated with inventories above or below our target levels. These derivative instruments typically involve options, exchange-traded futures, over-the-counter swaps and options, and physical commodity forward purchase and sale contracts (“Forward Contracts”), with durations of less than two years. Our hedging strategies are monitored daily.

We mark-to-market our derivative instruments and recognize the changes in their fair value in our statements of consolidated operations. We elected not to designate derivative instruments as fair value hedges during 2012 and 2011, with the exception of a portion of our Tesoro Panama Company S.A. (“TPSA”) inventory designated as a fair value hedge in 2011.

Net earnings during the 2012 and 2011 included net losses of $28 million and $6 million, respectively, on our commodity derivative positions comprised of the following (dollars in millions and volumes in millions of barrels):

	2012				2011
	Contract Volumes	Net Gain (Loss)			Contract Volumes	Net Gain (Loss)
Unrealized gain carried on open derivative positions from prior period	4	$	38		5	$	9
Realized gain (loss) on settled derivative positions	450	(60		)	432	23
Unrealized loss on open net short derivative positions	2	(6		)	4	(38		)
Net Loss		$	(28	)		$	(6	)

67

Our open positions at December 31, 2012, will expire at various times primarily during 2013 and 2014. We prepared a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk associated with our derivative instruments. This analysis may differ from actual results. Based on our open net positions of 2 million barrels at December 31, 2012, a $1.00 per-barrel change in quoted market prices of our derivative instruments, assuming all other factors remain constant, could change the fair value of our derivative instruments and pre-tax operating income by approximately $2 million.

Risk Management

We have established a risk committee comprised of senior level business management leadership from our financial, strategic, governance, administrative and operational functions. The risk committee’s responsibilities include the performance of an annual review to assess and prioritize the Company’s risks. Our financial, strategic, governance and operational risks’ subject matter experts participate in this annual assessment. The risk committee and other groups in the organization assess the status and effectiveness of risk prevention and mitigation activities, identify emerging risks, and facilitate management’s development of our risk assessment and management practices. In addition, the risk committee meets monthly to review priority risks, risk prevention and mitigation activities, and the Company’s emerging risks. The risk committee presents a quarterly risk update to executive management. At least annually, the Board of Directors meets with the chair of our risk committee concerning the status and effectiveness of our risk prevention and mitigation activities, emerging risks and risk assessment and management practices.

The risk committee has a responsibility to oversee the system of controls the Company has put in place to ensure procedures are properly followed and accountability is present at the appropriate levels. The Company has put in place controls designed to:

• create and maintain a comprehensive risk management policy;

• provide for authorization by the appropriate levels of management;

• provide for segregation of duties;

• maintain an appropriate level of knowledge regarding the execution of and the accounting for derivative instruments; and

• have key performance indicators in place to adequately measure the performance of its hedging activities.

We believe the governance structure that we have in place is adequate given the size and sophistication of our hedging program.

Counterparty Credit Risk

We have exposure to concentrations of credit risk related to the ability of our counterparties to meet their contractual payment obligations, and the potential non-performance of counterparties to deliver contracted commodities or services at the contracted price. We have risk management policies in place, and continue to monitor closely the status of our counterparties. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition, and in certain circumstances, require prepayments, letters of credit or other collateral.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on our purchases of Canadian crude oil. We enter into Forward Contracts of Canadian dollars to manage monthly exchange rate fluctuations. We had no gains or losses on these transactions for the year ended December 31, 2012 and a $6 million loss related to these transactions for the year ended December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, we had Forward Contracts to purchase CAD $42 million and CAD $37 million that matured or will mature on January 25, 2013 and February 25, 2013, respectively. Based on our open forward contract position, a $0.01 change in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate would change operating income by less than $1 million.

Interest Rate Risk

We utilize fixed-rate long-term debt obligations and other borrowings, which are subject to market risk from changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect the interest expense we incur on our variable-rate debt, and the fair value of our fixed-rate debt. These changes also affect the rates used to discount liabilities, which could result in changes in our accretion expense related to asset retirement obligations and pension and postretirement net periodic benefit expense over time.  The fair value of our debt was estimated primarily using quoted market prices.  The carrying value and fair value of our debt was approximately $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2012, and $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2011. We currently do not use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate risk, however we continue to monitor the market and our exposure, and in the future, we may enter into these transactions to mitigate risk. We believe in the short-term we have acceptable interest rate risk and continue to monitor the risk on our long-term obligations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description and Nature of Business

As used in this report, the terms “Tesoro,” “we,” “us,” or “our” may refer to Tesoro Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries or all of them taken as a whole. The words “we,” “us,” or “our” generally include Tesoro Logistics LP (“TLLP”) and its subsidiaries as consolidated subsidiaries of Tesoro Corporation with certain exceptions where there are transactions or obligations between TLLP and Tesoro Corporation or its other subsidiaries. When used in descriptions of agreements and transactions, “TLLP” or the “Partnership” refers to TLLP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Tesoro Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in 1968. Based in San Antonio, Texas, we are one of the largest independent petroleum refiners and marketers in the United States. Our subsidiaries, operating through two business segments, primarily manufacture and sell transportation fuels. Our refining operating segment (“Refining”), which operates seven refineries in the western United States, refines crude oil and other feedstocks into transportation fuels, such as gasoline and gasoline blendstocks, jet fuel and diesel fuel, as well as other products, including heavy fuel oils, liquefied petroleum gas, petroleum coke and asphalt. Our refineries have a combined crude oil capacity of 675 thousand barrels per day (“Mbpd”). This operating segment sells refined products in wholesale and bulk markets to a wide variety of customers within the operations area. Our retail operating segment (“Retail”) sells transportation fuels and convenience products in 18 states through a network of 1,402 retail stations, primarily under the Tesoro^®, Shell^®, and USA Gasoline™ brands.

Our earnings, cash flows from operations and liquidity depend upon many factors, including producing and selling refined products at margins above fixed and variable expenses. The prices of crude oil and refined products have fluctuated substantially in our markets. Our operations are significantly influenced by the timing of changes in crude oil costs and how quickly refined product prices adjust to reflect these changes. These price fluctuations depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the global supply and demand for crude oil and refined products, which are subject to, among other things, changes in the global economy and the level of foreign and domestic production of crude oil and refined products, geo-political conditions, availability of crude oil and refined product imports, the infrastructure to transport crude oil and refined products, weather conditions, earthquakes and other natural disasters, seasonal variations, government regulations, threatened or actual terrorist incidents or acts of war, and local factors, including market conditions and the level of operations of other suppliers in our markets. As a result of these factors, margin fluctuations during any reporting period can have a significant impact on our results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and financial position.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tesoro and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. We have evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-K. Any material subsequent events that occurred during this time have been properly recognized or disclosed in our financial statements.

Our consolidated financial statements include TLLP, a variable interest entity. As the general partner of TLLP, we have the sole ability to direct the activities of TLLP that most significantly impact its economic performance. We are also considered to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes and are TLLP’s primary customer. Under our long-term transportation agreements with TLLP (discussed further below), transactions with us accounted for 91% and 89% of TLLP’s total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As TLLP does not derive a significant amount of revenue from third parties, there is limited risk to Tesoro associated with TLLP’s operations. However, in the event TLLP incurs a loss, our operating results will reflect TLLP’s loss, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in TLLP.

Use of Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis, based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include bank deposits and low-risk short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. We place our cash deposits and temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

Receivables

Our receivables primarily consist of customer accounts receivable, including proprietary credit card receivables. Credit is extended based on an ongoing evaluation of our customers’ financial condition and other factors. In certain circumstances, we require prepayments, letters of credit, guarantees, or other forms of collateral. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by the large number of customers comprising our customer base and their dispersion across various industry groups and geographic areas of operations. Our reserve for bad debts is based on numerous factors including current sales amounts, historical charge-offs and specific accounts identified as high risk. Uncollectible accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when reasonable efforts to collect the amounts due have been exhausted.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate fair value primarily because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. We estimate the fair value for our debt using quoted market prices.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We use last-in, first-out as the primary method to determine the cost of crude oil held by our U.S. subsidiaries and refined product inventories in our refining and retail segments. We determine the carrying value of inventories of crude oil held by our foreign subsidiaries, oxygenates and by-products using the first-in, first-out cost method. We value merchandise along with materials and supplies at average cost.

We use commodity derivatives to manage price volatility associated with our crude oil and product inventories. We designated certain commodity derivatives as fair value hedges for accounting purposes during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. There were no commodity derivatives designated as fair value hedges during the year ended December 31, 2012. For derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges, subsequent changes in fair value of the designated hedged inventory are recorded in inventory on our consolidated balance sheets and in cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations.

Property, Plant and Equipment

We capitalize the cost of additions, major improvements and modifications to property, plant and equipment (“Property Assets”). The cost of repairs to, and normal maintenance of, Property Assets is expensed as incurred. Major improvements and modifications of Property Assets are those expenditures that either extend the useful life, increase the capacity or improve the operating efficiency of the asset, or improve the safety of our operations. The cost of Property Assets constructed includes interest and certain overhead costs allocable to the construction activities.

Our operations, especially those of our refining segment, are highly capital intensive. Each of our refineries is comprised of a large base of Property Assets, consisting of a series of interconnected, highly integrated and interdependent crude oil processing facilities and supporting logistical infrastructure (units), and these units are regularly improved. We plan for these improvements by developing a multi-year capital program that is updated and revised based on changing internal and external factors.

We compute depreciation of property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful life of each asset. The useful lives range from six to 28 years for refining, seven to 16 years for retail, and three to 25 years for corporate assets. We record property under capital leases at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate or the fair value of the leased property at the date of lease inception. We depreciate leasehold improvements and property acquired under capital leases over the lesser of the lease term or the economic life of the asset. Depreciation expense totaled $295 million, $262 million and $266 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

76

TESORO CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We capitalize interest as part of the cost of major projects during the construction period. Capitalized interest totaled $17 million, $14 million and $19 million during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and is recorded as a reduction to net interest and financing costs in our statements of consolidated operations.

Asset Retirement Obligations

An asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) is an estimated liability for the cost to retire a tangible asset. We record AROs at fair value in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. AROs are calculated based on the present value of the estimated removal and other closure costs using our credit-adjusted risk-free rate. When the liability is initially recorded, we capitalize the cost by increasing the book value of the related long-lived tangible asset. The liability is accreted to its estimated settlement value and the related capitalized cost is depreciated over the asset’s useful life. We recognize a gain or loss at settlement for any difference between the settlement amount and the recorded liability, which is recorded in loss on asset disposals and impairments in our statements of consolidated operations. We estimate settlement dates by considering our past practice, industry practice, management’s intent and estimated economic lives.

We cannot currently estimate the fair value for certain AROs primarily because we cannot estimate settlement dates (or range of dates) associated with these assets. These AROs include:

• hazardous materials disposal (such as petroleum manufacturing by-products, chemical catalysts, and sealed insulation material containing asbestos), and removal or dismantlement requirements associated with the closure of our refining facilities, terminal facilities or pipelines, including the demolition or removal of certain major processing units, buildings, tanks, pipelines or other equipment; and

• removal of underground storage tanks at our owned retail stations at or near the time of closure.

We have not historically incurred significant AROs for hazardous materials disposal or other removal costs associated with asset retirements or replacements during scheduled maintenance projects. We believe that the majority of our tangible assets have indeterminate useful lives. This precludes development of assumptions about the potential timing of settlement dates based on the following:

• there are no plans or expectations of plans to retire or dispose of these assets;

• we plan on extending the assets’ estimated economic lives through scheduled maintenance projects at our refineries and other normal repair and maintenance and by continuing to make improvements based on technological advances;

• we have rarely retired similar assets in the past; and

• industry practice for similar assets has historically been to extend the economic lives through regular repair and maintenance and implementation of technological advances.

Environmental Matters

We capitalize environmental expenditures that extend the life or increase the capacity of facilities as well as expenditures that prevent environmental contamination. We expense costs that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation. We record liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Cost estimates are based on the expected timing and extent of remedial actions required by governing agencies, experience gained from similar sites for which environmental assessments or remediation have been completed and the amount of our anticipated liability considering the proportional liability and financial abilities of other responsible parties. Usually, the timing of these accruals coincides with the completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action. Estimated liabilities are not discounted to present value and environmental expenses are recorded primarily in operating expenses in our statements of consolidated operations.

77

TESORO CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Legal Liabilities

In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations. These matters may involve large or unspecified damages or penalties that may be sought from us and may require years to resolve. We record a liability related to a loss contingency attributable to such legal matters in accrued liabilities or other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet, depending on the classification as current or noncurrent if we determine the loss to be both probable and estimable. The liability is recorded for an amount that is management’s best estimate of the loss, or when a best estimate cannot be made, the minimum loss amount of a range of possible outcomes.

Goodwill and Acquired Intangibles

Goodwill represents the amount the purchase price exceeds the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. We do not amortize goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. We are required, however, to review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in business circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. In such circumstances, we record the impairment in loss on asset disposals and impairments in our statements of consolidated operations. We review the recorded value of goodwill for impairment on November 1st of each year, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may exceed fair value. Our annual test for goodwill impairment involves a qualitative assessment performed at the reporting unit level. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of liquor licenses for certain of our retail stations and are immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.

Acquired intangibles are recorded at fair value as of the date acquired and consist primarily of air emission credits, customer agreements and contracts and the USA Gasoline trade name. We amortize acquired intangibles with finite lives on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of three to 31 years, and we include the amortization in depreciation and amortization expense in our statements of consolidated operations.

Other Assets

We defer turnaround costs and the costs of certain catalysts used in the refinery processing units that have a benefit period that exceeds one year and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over the expected periods of benefit, ranging from two to ten years. Turnaround expenditures are amortized over the period of time until the next planned turnaround of the processing unit. Amortization for these deferred charges, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in our statements of consolidated operations, amounted to $138 million, $137 million and $138 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We defer debt issuance costs related to our credit agreements and senior notes and amortize the costs over the terms of each instrument. Amortization of deferred issuance costs, which is included in net interest and financing costs in our statements of consolidated operations totaled $11 million, $13 million and $9 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We reassess the carrying value of debt issuance costs when modifications are made to the related debt instruments.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review Property Assets and other long-lived assets, including acquired intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the net book values of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment is indicated when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ net book value. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and net book value. Factors that indicate potential impairment include: a significant decrease in the market value of the asset, operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the asset and a significant change in the asset’s physical condition or use.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues upon delivery of goods or services to a customer. For goods, this is the point at which title is transferred and when payment has either been received or collection is reasonably assured. Revenues for services are recorded when the services have been provided. We record certain transactions in cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations on a net basis. These transactions include nonmonetary crude oil and refined product exchange transactions used to optimize our refinery supply, and sale and purchase transactions entered into with the same counterparty that are deemed to be in contemplation with one another. We include transportation fees charged to customers in revenues in our statements of consolidated operations, while the related costs are included in cost of sales or operating expenses.

78

TESORO CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Federal excise and state motor fuel taxes, which are remitted to governmental agencies through our refining segment and collected from customers in our retail segment, are included in both revenues and cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations. These taxes, excluding credits, were primarily related to sales of gasoline and diesel fuel and totaled $490 million, $376 million and $330 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes

We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for future income tax consequences that are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their income tax bases. We base the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities on enacted tax rates that we expect will apply to taxable income in the year we expect to settle or recover those temporary differences. We recognize the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of any change in income tax rates in the period that includes the enactment date. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that those items will either expire before we are able to realize their benefit or their future deductibility is uncertain. We recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. Tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, that are not recognized, are generally recorded as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

We recognize separately the overfunded or underfunded status of our pension and other postretirement plans as an asset or liability. A change in the funded status of our defined benefit retirement plan is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period the change occurs. The funded status represents the difference between the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets. The projected benefit obligation is the present value of benefits earned to date by plan participants, including the effect of assumed future salary increases. Plan assets are measured at fair value. We use a December 31^st measurement date for plan assets and obligations for all of our plans.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation includes stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance share awards, market stock units, stock options, restricted common stock, restricted stock units, performance units and phantom stock options. We estimate the fair value of certain stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of our performance share awards based on performance conditions, market stock units, restricted common stock awards and restricted stock units, are equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair values of our SARs, performance share awards based on market conditions, phantom stock options and performance units are estimated at the end of each reporting period. We have recorded liabilities related to our SARs and performance units. We primarily amortize the fair value of our SARs, performance share awards, market stock units, restricted common stock, performance units, stock options and restricted stock units using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Subsequent to the vesting date, the liability for outstanding SARs is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Expenses related to stock-based compensation are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our statements of consolidated operations.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of feedstocks, products and energy supplies to or from our refineries, terminals, retail operations and customers. We also use non-trading derivative instruments to manage price risks associated with inventories above or below our target levels. These derivative instruments typically include exchange-traded futures and over-the-counter swaps and options, with durations of less than two years. Our positions are monitored daily by our trading controls group to ensure compliance with our risk management policies.

When we acquire a derivative instrument, it is designated as a mark-to-market derivative or a fair value hedge derivative. We mark-to-market our derivative instruments and recognize the changes in their fair values, realized or unrealized, in either revenues or cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations, depending on the purpose for acquiring and holding the derivatives. For instruments that are not designated as fair value hedges, we do not record a change in the value of the related underlying physical commodity. The gain or loss on derivative instruments designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item, are recognized in income in the same period. We use fair value hedges for certain foreign subsidiary crude oil inventories.

79

TESORO CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

All derivatives are recorded and carried at fair value in receivables, other current assets or accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets. The changes in fair value of the designated hedged inventory for fair value hedge derivatives have been recorded in inventories on the consolidated balance sheets. Margin deposits represent cash collateral paid between our counterparties and us to support our commodity contracts. We net our asset and liability positions associated with multiple derivative instruments that are executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements.

We apply hedge accounting when transactions meet specified criteria for such treatment and may designate a derivative as a fair value hedging instrument for accounting purposes to hedge certain foreign subsidiary crude oil inventories. The hedged inventory is valued at current spot market prices whereas the financial derivative is valued using forward commodity prices. Changes in the difference between forward and spot prices are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations until the commodity is sold and the related financial derivative is settled. A hedge is regarded as highly effective and qualifies for hedge accounting if it is expected at its inception and throughout the term of the contract that changes in the fair value of the hedged item are almost fully offset by the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument.

We discontinue hedge accounting when we determine that the derivative has ceased to be highly effective as a hedge; when the derivative expires, or is sold, terminated, or exercised; when the hedged item is sold; or when a forecasted transaction is no longer deemed probable. Any ineffectiveness is recorded in the statements of consolidated operations during the period in which the derivative instrument is deemed ineffective.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We compute basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Tesoro Corporation stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share include the effects of potentially dilutive shares, principally consisting of common stock options and unvested restricted stock, restricted stock units, market stock units and performance share awards outstanding during the period. Additionally, for the diluted earnings per share computation, net earnings (loss) attributable to Tesoro Corporation is reduced, where applicable, for the decrease in earnings from Tesoro’s limited partner unit ownership in TLLP that would have resulted assuming the incremental units related to TLLP’s equity incentive plans had been issued during the respective periods.

Foreign Currency Exchange

The functional currency for our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The translation of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars is computed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using weighted-average exchange rates during the period. We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions related to our Canadian operations. We use foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts to manage our exposure to these exchange rate fluctuations. Amounts related to these contracts are recorded in net interest and financing costs in our statements of consolidated operations.

New Accounting Standards and Disclosures

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Testing

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) in July 2012 related to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. This ASU provides the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If the company believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The company can choose to assess qualitative factors on none, some or all of its indefinite-lived intangible assets. The standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. However, an entity can choose to early adopt the standard, provided that the entity has not yet performed its 2012 annual impairment test or issued its financial statements. Our indefinite lived intangible assets are immaterial to our consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

80

TESORO CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

The FASB issued an ASU in June 2011, regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. This ASU eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, thecompany must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, which contains two sections, net income and OCI, or in two separate but consecutive statements. We adopted these presentation requirements and are presenting components of OCI in two consecutive statements.

Additionally, the FASB issued an ASU in February 2013 that provides entities the option of presenting information related to reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements or in the notes to the financial statements for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in the statement where those components are presented. The requirements from the new ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of these requirements will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

The FASB issued an ASU in December 2011, which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of these arrangements on its financial position. The guidance requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In January 2013, the FASB amended and clarified the scope of the disclosures to include only derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions. The provisions for this ASU are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, but may result in additional disclosures.

NOTE B – TESORO LOGISTICS LP

TLLP is a publicly traded limited partnership that was formed to own, operate, develop and acquire logistics assets. Its assets are integral to the success of Tesoro’s refining and marketing operations and are used to gather crude oil and distribute, transport and store crude oil and refined products.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Effective September 14, 2012, TLLP entered into a transaction to purchase, from Tesoro, our Long Beach marine terminal assets and related short-haul pipelines (collectively, the “Long Beach Assets”), in exchange for total consideration from TLLP of $210 million, comprised of $189 million in cash financed with borrowings under TLLP’s private placement debt offering and the issuance of TLLP equity with a fair value of $21 million. These assets, located near our Wilmington refinery, consist of a two-vessel berth dock leased from the city of Long Beach, storage tanks and related pipelines connecting our Wilmington refinery to the marine terminal and other third-party facilities.

Effective November 15, 2012, TLLP entered into a transaction to purchase, from Tesoro, our Anacortes rail car unloading facility assets (the “Anacortes Rail Facility”), in exchange for consideration of $180 million, comprised of $162 million in cash and the issuance of TLLP equity with a fair value of $18 million. The Anacortes Rail Facility includes an unloading platform, receiving and departing tracks and additional short track spurs, as well as other related assets and properties associated with the facility. The Anacortes Rail Facility transports Bakken crude oil to our Washington refinery.

On December 6, 2012, TLLP executed definitive agreements to purchase Chevron Pipe Line Company’s and Northwest Terminalling Company’s (collectively, “Chevron”) northwest products system (the “Northwest Products System”) for a total purchase price of $400 million. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close during the first quarter of 2013. TLLP paid a deposit of $40 million upon execution of the purchase agreements, which may be retained by Chevron upon certain contract termination events. The Northwest Products System consists of a regulated common carrier products pipeline running from Salt Lake City, Utah to Spokane, Washington, and a separate jet fuel pipeline to the Salt Lake City International Airport. It also includes certain assets of the Northwest Terminalling Company consisting of the Boise and Pocatello, Idaho and Pasco, Washington refined products terminals.

Debt and Equity Issuances and Revolver Amendment

Effective September 14, 2012, TLLP completed a private notes offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020. The proceeds of this offering were used to fund TLLP’s acquisition of the Long Beach Assets, to repay the outstanding balance on the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility and to fund a portion of the acquisition of the Anacortes Rail Facility.

On October 5, 2012, TLLP closed an equity offering (“TLLP 2012 Equity Issuance”) of 4,255,000 common units at a public offering price of $41.80 per unit. Net proceeds to TLLP from the sale of the units were approximately $171 million. The proceeds of this offering were primarily used to fund TLLP’s acquisition of the Anacortes Rail Facility.

On January 14, 2013, TLLP closed an equity offering (“TLLP 2013 Equity Issuance”) of 9,775,000 common units at a public offering price of $41.70 per unit. Net proceeds to TLLP from the sale of the units were approximately $392 million. In connection with the offering, TLGP purchased 199,490 general partner units at a price of $41.70 per unit to maintain its 2% general partner interest in TLLP.

Effective January 4, 2013, TLLP amended and restated the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility, which increases total revolving loan availability under the facility from $300 million to $500 million and allows TLLP to request that the availability be increased up to an aggregate of $650 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders.

We held an approximate 47% interest in TLLP at December 31, 2012, including a 2% interest in the general partner. This interest includes 1,283,915 common units, 15,254,890 subordinated units and 729,596 general partner units. Subsequent to the TLLP 2013 Equity Issuance on January 14, 2013, we owned an approximate 38% interest in TLLP, including an approximate 2% general partner interest. All intercompany transactions with TLLP are eliminated upon consolidation.

Commercial Agreements

TLLP generates revenue by charging fees for gathering, transporting and storing crude oil and for terminalling, transporting and storing refined products. We do not provide financial or equity support through any liquidity arrangements or financial guarantees to TLLP.

TLLP provides us with various pipeline transportation, trucking, terminal distribution and storage services under long-term, fee-based commercial agreements expiring 2016 through 2022. These include 10-year use and throughput agreements and a transportation agreement.

Each of these agreements, with the exception of the storage and transportation services agreement, contain minimum volume commitments. Each agreement has fees that are indexed for inflation and, except for a trucking transportation services agreement, provides us with options to renew for two additional five-year terms. The agreements also include provisions that permit us to suspend, reduce or terminate our obligations under the applicable agreement if certain events occur after one year of continuing minimum payments.

In addition to commercial agreements, we are also a party to the following agreements with TLLP:

Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement. We entered into an omnibus agreement with TLLP at the closing of the Initial Offering. The omnibus agreement, most recently amended in November 2012 (the “Amended Omnibus Agreement”) in connection with the sale of the Anacortes Rail Facility, contains the following key provisions:

• Non-compete clause between us and TLLP effective under certain circumstances;

• Right of first offer to TLLP for certain of our retained logistics assets, including certain terminals, pipelines, docks, storage facilities and other related assets located in California, Alaska and Washington;

• Payment of an annual fee to us, currently $2.5 million, for the provision of various general and administrative services;

• Reimbursement to TLLP for certain maintenance and expansion capital expenditures; and

• indemnification to TLLP for certain matters, including pre-IPO environmental, title and tax matters.

Additional sales of assets from us to TLLP are governed by the Amended Omnibus Agreement.

Amended and Restated Operational Services Agreement. We entered into an operational services agreement with TLLP at the closing of the Initial Offering, which was most recently amended in November 2012 (the “Amended Operational Services Agreement”) in connection with the sale of the Anacortes Rail Facility. Under the Amended Operational Services Agreement, TLLP reimburses us for the provision of certain operational services in support of their pipelines, terminals and storage facility.

(a) Adjusted to include the historical results of the Martinez Marine Terminal and Long Beach Assets.

(b) As TLLP is an entity under common control with Tesoro, TLLP records the assets that it acquires from Tesoro on its balance sheet at historical book value instead of fair value. Additionally, any excess of cash paid over the historical book value of the assets acquired from Tesoro is recorded in equity. As a result of this accounting treatment, its purchases of the Martinez Marine Terminal, the Long Beach Assets and the Anacortes Rail Facility caused TLLP’s equity balance to decrease $307 million from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012.

NOTE C - ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER CHANGES IN OPERATIONS

Acquisition of BP’s Southern California Refining and Marketing Business

On August 8, 2012, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with BP West Coast Products, LLC and certain other sellers to purchase BP’s integrated Southern California refining and marketing business (the “Carson Acquisition”). The assets to be acquired include the 266 Mbpd Carson refinery located adjacent to our Wilmington refinery, related marine terminals, land storage terminals, pipelines and product marketing terminals. In addition, the assets include the ARCO^® brand and associated registered trademarks, as well as a master franchisee license for the ampm^® convenience store brand and the supply rights to approximately 800 branded dealer-operated and branded wholesale stations in Southern California, Nevada and Arizona. Additionally, we will acquire a 51% ownership in the gas fueled Watson cogeneration facility and an anode coke calcining operation, both located near the Carson refinery.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The purchase price is $1.175 billion, plus the value of inventories at the time of closing. The purchase and sale agreement provides for a $100 million reduction in the purchase price upon meeting certain conditions as defined in the agreement. This acquisition, which is subject to customary closing conditions and will require approval from the Federal Trade Commission and the California Attorney General, is expected to close before mid-2013. The purchase and sale agreement also required an advance payment of $90 million and provides for us to pay a break-up fee of up to $140 million in the event that we terminate the agreement (except for termination for specified reasons). In the event a break-up fee is required, the advance payment of $90 million will be applied to the amount due. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred transaction costs of approximately $9 million related to the acquisition, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our statements of consolidated operations. Upon the closing of the Carson Acquisition, the sellers have agreed, subject to certain limitations, to retain certain obligations, responsibilities, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of the pre-closing operations of the assets. We have agreed to assume certain obligations, responsibilities, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with decrees, orders and settlements the sellers entered into with governmental and non-governmental entities prior to closing. We expect that upon closing the Carson Acquisition, we will record certain assumed environmental liabilities.

Retail Acquisition

In January 2012, we acquired 49 retail stations located primarily in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming, from SUPERVALU, Inc. We paid approximately $37 million for the assets, including inventories of approximately $3 million and spent approximately $4 million to replace the dispensers at these stations. We assumed the obligations under the seller’s leases. SUPERVALU, Inc. retained environmental and certain pre-closing liabilities. This acquisition is not material to our consolidated financial statements.

TLLP Acquisition of the Northwest Products System

On December 6, 2012, TLLP executed definitive agreements to purchase the Northwest Products System. For additional information regarding the acquisition, see Note B.

Hawaii Refinery

On January 8, 2013, we announced that we have been unable to sell our Hawaii operations, will cease refining operations in April 2013, and begin the process of converting the refinery to an import, storage and distribution terminal. We will maintain the existing distribution system to support marketing operations and fulfill supply commitments while continuing to offer the assets for sale. We expect to recognize other charges during the first half of 2013 related to severance and postretirement obligations in connection with the conversion to terminal operations. These charges are not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we may recognize contract termination or other exit costs as we cease refining operations. These assets continue to be reported as held and used at December 31, 2012 because all of the accounting criteria for the held-for-sale classification have not been met.

We announced in January 2012 that we intended to sell our Hawaii operations. Throughout 2012, based on our ongoing sale process and indications of interest from potential buyers, we believed a single sale of our Hawaii operations would occur at an amount that would exceed our carrying value. However, the final proposals we received during the fourth quarter of 2012 were not acceptable and indicated a significant decline in the estimated fair value of the Hawaii operations from previous estimates. As a result, we conducted an impairment test for the long-lived assets for both the refining and retail reporting units in Hawaii. We estimated the fair value of the Hawaii refining reporting unit, which includes the refinery assets and terminal and distribution assets, using the income approach through the use of discounted projected cash flows, which resulted in an estimated fair value of zero. The most recent bids for these assets also support this fair value. As a result, we recorded impairment charges of $228 million at December 31, 2012 for the Hawaii refining reporting unit, representing the entire net book value of the property, plant and equipment of $188 million and deferred charges of $40 million.

We also recognized AROs at a fair value of $20 million for estimated costs to be incurred, the timing of which can now be reasonably determined based on the plans described above, to indefinitely idle the refining assets and to convert certain storage tanks to terminal operations. These estimated costs to perform the necessary work were determined based on unobservable inputs, including third-party and internal estimates. All amounts associated with the impairment and recognition of AROs are included in loss on asset disposals and impairments in our statements of consolidated operations.

The long-lived assets of Hawaii’s retail reporting unit were not impaired at December 31, 2012, based on estimated cash flows and comparable market transaction data for similar retail operations.

NOTE H - GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLES

Goodwill

Goodwill in our refining segment related to our Utah refinery totaled $31 million at both December 31, 2012 and 2011. In our retail segment, goodwill totaled $5 million at both December 31, 2012 and 2011. There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during 2012 and 2011.

A quantitative approach was used to review the carrying value of goodwill for impairment in years prior to the period ending December 31, 2011. For the periods ending December 31, 2012 and 2011, we used the qualitative approach prescribed by the ASU issued by the FASB in September 2011. This ASU evaluates relevant events and or circumstances to test for possible goodwill impairment. Based on the analysis performed, we determined no further testing was required.

During 2010, we determined that all of the goodwill related to the Hawaii refinery reporting unit was impaired and recorded a $10 million impairment because we determined that the carrying value of our Hawaii refinery exceeded the fair value. An increase in the carrying value of our Hawaii refinery in 2010 resulted from turnaround spending and a reduction in certain pension and other postretirement obligations. Our estimated fair value decreased as a result of lower projected cash flows driven by a revised margin outlook. At the time of the goodwill impairment review, there was no indication of impairment for the other long-lived assets at the Hawaii refinery. The impairment charges are included in loss on asset disposals and impairments.

Acquired Intangibles

NOTE J – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We classify financial assets and financial liabilities into the following fair value hierarchy:

• level 1 - valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

• level 2 - valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

• level 3 - valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

We measure fair value using level 1 inputs, when available, because they provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. Derivative instruments and our Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) are our only financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We did not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as level 3 at December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011. See Note K for further information on the Company’s derivative instruments.

Our derivative instruments consist primarily of options (“Options”), exchange-traded futures (“Futures Contracts”), over-the-counter swaps and options (“OTC Swap Contracts” and “OTC Option Contracts,” respectively), and physical commodity forward purchase and sale contracts (“Forward Contracts”). Options are valued using quoted prices from exchanges and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Futures Contracts are valued based on quoted prices from exchanges and are categorized in level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the liquidity of the instrument. OTC Swap Contracts, OTC Option Contracts and Forward Contracts are valued using third-party broker quotes, industry pricing services and price curves derived from commodity exchange postings, with consideration of counterparty credit risk. These quotes are corroborated with market data and are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Our RINs obligation represents a liability for the purchase of RINs to satisfy the requirement to blend biofuels into the products we produce. RINs are assigned to biofuels produced or imported into the U.S. as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). This requirement was implemented in accordance with the Renewable Fuel Standard of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and expanded by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.  The EPA sets annual quotas for the percentage of biofuels that must be blended into transportation fuels consumed in the U.S., and as a producer of transportation fuels from petroleum, we are required to blend biofuels into the products we produce at a rate that will meet the EPA’s quota. To the degree we are unable to blend at that rate, we must purchase RINs in the open market to satisfy the requirement.  Our RINs obligation is based on the amount of RINs we must purchase and the price of those RINs as of the balance sheet date.  Our RINs obligation is categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and is measured at fair value using the market approach based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.

(a) Represents the impact of netting assets, liabilities and cash collateral when a legal right of offset exists. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, cash collateral amounts of $27 million and $75 million, respectively are netted with mark-to-market derivative assets.

Certain of our derivative contracts, under master netting arrangements, include both asset and liability positions. We have elected to offset both the fair value amounts and any related cash collateral amounts recognized for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty when there is a legally enforceable right and an intention to settle net or simultaneously.

We believe the carrying value of our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including:

• the short term duration of the instruments (less than one percent of our trade receivables and payables are outstanding for greater than 90 days); and

• the expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk.

The fair value of our debt is based on prices from recent trade activity and is categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value and fair value of our debt was approximately $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively at December 31, 2012, and $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively at December 31, 2011.

________________

(a) Includes impairment charges for all of the plant, property and equipment and deferred charges at our Hawaii refinery, as well as the asset retirement obligations established in connection with the shut-down of the refinery.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we conducted an impairment analysis in connection with the decision to cease refining operations at our Hawaii refinery and begin the process of converting the refinery to an import, storage and distribution terminal. The fair value of the refining reporting unit, which includes the refinery assets and terminal and distribution assets, was estimated using the income approach through the use of discounted projected cash flows. We believe the fair value estimated for the refining reporting unit assets is representative of a market participant’s view of the assets based on the recently completed bidding process, with none of the definitive proposals indicating a fair value in excess of zero for these assets. As a result, we wrote down the entire book value of the refining reporting unit assets and recorded impairment charges of $248 million at December 31, 2012. These charges included $188 million for the net book value of the property, plant and equipment, $40 million representing deferred charges and $20 million associated with the additional AROs. See additional discussion in Note C.

We evaluate the recoverability of the cost of capital projects in progress. For one project at our Wilmington refinery, regulations issued by California’s South Coast Air Quality Management District required emission of nitrogen oxides to be reduced by the end of 2010. Our initial plan in 2007 to meet this regulation was to replace our power cogeneration units and steam boilers and began construction of this project in 2008. We subsequently decided to use air emissions credits to meet this requirement. This allowed us to defer the planned capital expenditures related to this project but caused us to incur an impairment charge of $20 million in 2010 as a result of this change in scope.

During 2011, we decided to sell, rather than use, specific equipment related to the change in scope of this capital project. The equipment and related unrecoverable engineering costs specifically manufactured and uniquely configured for this project were written down from a carrying value of $56 million to a fair value of $5 million, resulting in a $51 million loss included in loss on asset disposals and impairments. The estimated fair value was based on amounts recoverable if the equipment was sold to an end user in the principal or most advantageous market for the assets in an orderly transaction. As of December 31, 2011, we categorized the $5 million in recoverable engineering costs in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the amount represented our estimate of an unobservable input that required significant judgment, for which there was little or no market data.

As discussed in Note H, the annual goodwill impairment review performed during the fourth quarter of 2010 resulted in a goodwill impairment charge related to our Hawaii refinery included in loss on asset disposals and impairments. There were no goodwill impairments or indefinite lived intangible assets that were measured at fair value during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

NOTE K - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The timing, direction and overall change in refined product prices versus crude oil prices impacts profit margins and has a significant impact on our earnings and cash flows. Consequently, we use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of feedstocks, refined products and energy supplies to or from the Company’s refineries, terminals, retail operations and customers. We also use non-trading derivative instruments to manage price risks associated with inventories above or below our target levels. To achieve our objectives, we use derivative instruments such as Options, Futures Contracts, OTC Swap Contracts, OTC Option Contracts, and Forward Contracts, all with maturity dates of less than two years. We believe that there is minimal credit risk with respect to our counterparties.

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on our purchases of Canadian crude oil. We enter into Forward Contracts of Canadian dollars to manage these monthly exchange rate fluctuations.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of a commodity derivative depends on whether the derivative has been designated in a hedging relationship and whether we have elected the normal purchases and normal sales exception. The accounting for the change in fair value can be summarized as follows:

Derivative Treatment	Accounting Method
Normal purchases and normal sales exception	Accrual accounting
Designated in qualifying hedging relationship	Hedge accounting
All other derivatives	Mark-to-market accounting

The primary derivative instruments that we use have the following characteristics. Options provide the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the commodity at a specified price in the future. Futures Contracts include a requirement to buy or sell the commodity at a fixed price in the future. OTC Swap Contracts, OTC Option Contracts and Forward Contracts require cash settlement for the commodity based on the difference between a contracted fixed or floating price and the market price on the settlement date. Certain of these contracts require cash collateral if our liability position exceeds specified thresholds. At December 31, 2012, we had no cash collateral outstanding related to our OTC Swap Contracts.

The following table presents the fair value (in millions) of our derivative instruments as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The fair value amounts below are presented on a gross basis and do not reflect the netting of asset and liability positions permitted under the terms of our master netting arrangements including cash collateral on deposit with, or received from, brokers. We have elected to offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements when a legal right of offset exists. As a result, the asset and liability amounts below will not agree with the amounts presented in our consolidated balance sheet.

Credit Facilities Overview

Our credit facilities as of December 31, 2012, were subject to the following expenses and fees.

Credit Facility	30 day Eurodollar (LIBOR) Rate	Eurodollar Margin	Base Rate	Base Rate Margin	Commitment Fee (unused portion)
Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility ($1.85 billion) (a)	0.21%	1.75%	3.25%	0.75%	0.375%
TLLP Revolving Credit Facility ($300 million) (b)	0.21%	3.25%	3.25%	2.25%	0.50%

________________

(a) We have the option to elect if borrowings will bear interest at either a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable period, plus, the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin varies based upon our Revolving Credit Facility’s credit ratings. Letters of credit outstanding under the Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility incur fees at the Eurodollar margin rate. We also incur commitment fees for the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate.

(b) TLLP has the option to elect if borrowings bear interest at either a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable period, plus, the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin varies based upon a certain leverage ratio, as defined by the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility. TLLP incurs commitment fees for the unused portion of the TLLP Revolving Credit at an annual rate. In January 2013, TLLP amended this facility which among other things, decreases the borrowing rates under this facility. See additional information under TLLP Revolving Credit Facility below.

Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”)

At December 31, 2012, our Revolving Credit Facility provided for borrowings (including letters of credit) up to the lesser of the amount of a periodically adjusted borrowing base of approximately $3.5 billion, consisting of Tesoro’s eligible cash and cash equivalents, receivables and petroleum inventories, net of the standard reserve as defined, or the Revolving Credit Facility’s total capacity of $1.85 billion. The total available capacity can be increased up to an aggregate amount of $2.25 billion, subject to receiving increased commitments. At December 31, 2012, we had no borrowings and $665 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in total unused credit availability of approximately $1.2 billion, or 64% of the eligible borrowing base.

Effective January 4, 2013, we entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which allows the capacity of our Revolving Credit Facility to be automatically increased to an aggregate of $3.0 billion, just prior to closing the Carson Acquisition (“Increase Effective Date”). Additionally, the agreement allows for us to request that the capacity be increased up to an aggregate of $4.0 billion, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders; however, we must offer to reduce the commitments by at least $500 million on or prior to the 18 month anniversary of the Increase Effective Date and by an additional $500 million on or prior to the two year anniversary of the Increase Effective Date. The Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature, and commitments thereunder will terminate, on January 4, 2018.

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of Tesoro’s active domestic subsidiaries excluding TLGP, TLLP and its subsidiaries, and certain foreign subsidiaries, and is secured by substantially all of Tesoro’s active domestic subsidiaries’ crude oil and refined product inventories, cash and receivables. For additional information regarding TLLP, see Note B.

Our Revolving Credit Facility and senior notes each limit our restricted payments (as defined) including our ability to pay cash dividends, purchase our common stock or make voluntary repayments of subordinate debt. The aggregate amount of restricted payments cannot exceed an amount defined in each of the debt agreements. The indentures for our senior notes also limit our subsidiaries ability to make certain payments and distributions.

Letter of Credit Agreements

The Revolving Credit Facility allows us to obtain letters of credit under separate letter of credit agreements for foreign crude oil purchases. As of December 31, 2012, our five separate uncommitted letter of credit agreements had $637 million outstanding. Letters of credit outstanding under these agreements incur fees and are secured by the crude oil inventories for which they are issued. Capacity under these letter of credit agreements is available on an uncommitted basis and can be terminated by either party, at any time.

TPSA Revolving Credit Facility

TPSA, a directly and wholly owned subsidiary of Tesoro, entered into a 364-day uncommitted, secured revolving credit agreement in October 2011. Effective August 16, 2012, we terminated the TPSA revolving credit facility agreement. TPSA had no borrowings under the agreement at the time of termination and did not incur any early termination penalties.

Term Loan Credit Facility

Effective January 28, 2013, we entered into a term loan credit facility agreement (the “Term Loan Facility”) which allows us to borrow up to an aggregate of $500 million on or prior to August 9, 2013. The obligations under the Term Loan Facility will be secured by all equity interests of Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC and Tesoro Alaska Company, the Tesoro and USA Gasoline trademarks and those trademarks containing the name “ARCO” that will be acquired by Tesoro in the Carson Acquisition, and junior liens on certain assets.

Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility will bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.25% or a base rate plus 1.25%. We also incur a commitment fee commencing on March 1, 2013 on the term loan commitments. The Term Loan Facility matures three years from the initial borrowing. The Term Loan Facility will be subject to equal quarterly payments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum of the initial borrowing with the final payment of all amounts outstanding due on the maturity date.

The Term Loan Facility contains affirmative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default substantially similar to those set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility and contains negative covenants substantially similar to those set forth in the indentures for the 4.250% Senior Notes due 2017 (“2017 Notes”) and 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022 (“2022 Notes”).

TLLP Revolving Credit Facility

TLLP entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and financial institutions in April 2011. The TLLP Revolving Credit Facility is non-recourse to Tesoro, except for TLGP, and is guaranteed by all of TLLP’s subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of TLLP’s assets. As of December 31, 2012, the total loan availability under the TLLP Credit Facility was $300 million. Borrowings are available under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility up to the total available revolving capacity of the facility. As of December 31, 2012, TLLP had no borrowings outstanding under this facility.

Effective January 4, 2013, TLLP entered into an amended and restated senior secured revolving credit agreement, which increases total revolving loan availability under the facility from $300 million to $500 million and allows TLLP to request that the availability be increased up to an aggregate of $650 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders. Further, the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility decreases the Eurodollar margin and base rate margins under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility between 0.5% to 1.00%, depending on our leverage ratio, and includes a provision that allows a temporary increase in certain of TLLP’s financial covenants in the event of a material acquisition. The TLLP Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2017.

6.250% Senior Notes due 2012

We have recorded a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, due to uncertainties related to our ability to use certain state tax credit carryforwards. The valuation allowance reduces the benefit of those carryforwards to the amount that will more likely than not be realized, and is based on anticipated taxable income in the various jurisdictions. The realization of our other deferred tax assets depends on Tesoro’s ability to generate future taxable income. Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that we will realize those deferred tax assets.

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S., multiple state jurisdictions, and a few foreign jurisdictions. Our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $30 million and $31 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, of which $12 million are recognized as tax liabilities in each year. Included in those amounts are $18 million (net of the tax benefit on state issues) as of both December 31, 2012 and 2011, which would reduce the effective tax rate if recognized.

We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months. We had accrued $5 million and $8 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for interest and penalties. We recognized a reduction of $3 million, $1 million and $4 million in interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. For interest and penalties relating to income taxes we recognize accrued interest in net interest and financing costs and penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of consolidated operations.

NOTE P – BENEFIT PLANS

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

We sponsor four defined benefit pension plans, including one qualified plan and three nonqualified plans, which are described below.

• The funded qualified employee retirement plan provides benefits to all eligible employees. Benefits are determined based on final average salary and years of service through December 31, 2011, and a cash balance account based formula for service beginning January 1, 2012. Although our funded employee retirement plan fully meets all of the funding requirements under applicable laws and regulations, we contributed $48 million each year during 2012 and 2011 to improve the plan’s funded status.

• The unfunded nonqualified restoration retirement plan provides for the restoration of retirement benefits to certain senior level employees that are not provided under the qualified retirement plan due to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.

• The unfunded nonqualified executive security plan provides certain executive officers and other key personnel with supplemental pension benefits. These benefits are provided by a nonqualified, noncontributory plan and are based on years of service and compensation. We made payments of $2 million and $11 million during 2012 and 2011, respectively, for current retiree obligations under the plan.

• The unfunded nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan provides eligible senior level executives a supplemental pension benefit in excess of those earned under the qualified retirement plan. This plan was approved and adopted by the Compensation Committee on January 12, 2011.

Tesoro provides health care benefits to retirees who met certain service requirements and were participating in our group health insurance program at retirement. In addition, Tesoro sponsors two 401(k) plans, the thrift plan and the retail savings plan, both of which provide for eligible employees to make contributions, subject to certain limitations, into designated investment funds with a matching contribution by Tesoro.

Investment Policies and Strategies

Our funded qualified retirement plan assets are invested using a total return investment approach (including dividends, interest, and realized and unrealized capital appreciation) whereby a mix of equity securities, fixed income securities and other investments are used to preserve asset values, diversify risk and achieve our target investment return. Plan assets are managed in a diversified portfolio comprised of two primary components: an equity portion and a fixed income portion. The expected role of the plan’s equity investments is to maximize the long-term real growth of plan assets, while the role of fixed income investments is to generate current income, lower funded status volatility, provide for more stable periodic returns and provide protection against a prolonged decline in the equity markets. Investment strategies and asset allocation decisions are based on careful consideration of risk tolerance, plan liabilities, the plan’s funded status and our financial condition.

Our target allocation is as follows: 50% long duration fixed income, 30% equity and 20% other investments comprised primarily of assets which provide protection in inflationary periods and investments which target a return regardless of market conditions.

Fair Value of Plan Assets

We classify our plan assets into three fair value classifications or levels. Our level 1 investments include equity, fixed income and other mutual funds, which are based on market quotations from national securities exchanges. Level 2 investments include short-term investment funds, equity and fixed income common/collective trust funds, which are valued at the net asset value of the fund as determined by the fund manager along with individual fixed income securities valued on the basis of evaluated prices from independent pricing services. When market prices are not readily available, the determination of fair value may rely on factors such as significant market activity or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets. We did not hold any level 3 assets in our investments as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. We do not believe that there are any significant concentrations of risk within our plan assets.

________________

(a) Fixed income assets represent securities primarily invested in corporate, government-related, mortgage and asset-backed debt obligations with a primary focus on long duration securities. Individual fixed income securities are typically priced on the basis of evaluated prices from independent pricing services. All fixed income securities are classified as level 2 investments.

(b) Mutual funds that invest primarily in domestic and international equity and fixed income securities. Fair values are based on market quotations from national securities exchanges. Absolute return and real return mutual funds consist of investments in mutual funds that invest in a broad set of asset classes designed to provide a target return regardless of market conditions or the potential for real returns in excess of U.S. inflation, respectively. The fixed income mutual fund consists of a fund which is part of a trust managed by a registered investment company. Fair value for the fixed income mutual fund reflects the net asset value per share as determined by the investment manager and derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities. Absolute and real return mutual funds and a U.S. equity mutual fund are categorized as level 1 investments and the fixed income mutual fund is categorized as a level 2 investment.

(c) Common/collective trust funds that invest in primarily equity and fixed income securities. Fair values reflect the net asset value per share, as determined by the investment manager and derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities. Common/collective trust funds are classified as level 2 investments.

(d) The short-term investment funds provide for safety of principal and daily liquidity and is valued using the net asset value per share. These assets are classified as level 2 investments.

(e) The limited partnership asset represents an interest in the Platte River Fund, L.P. (“Partnership”) which invests primarily in domestic equity securities that are considered undervalued. The Partnership may also invest in equity securities of American Depository Receipts or mutual funds. Fair value is based on the limited partner account balance comprised of all contributions and withdrawals made along with its interest in net income realized and unrealized by the Partnership. The limited partnership investment is classified as a level 2 investment.

(f) The categorization of the investments held at December 31, 2011 was presented to conform to current year presentation.

Assumptions

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine benefit obligations and net periodic benefit expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

	Pension Benefits						Other Postretirement Benefits
	2012		2011		2010		2012		2011		2010
Projected benefit obligation:
Discount rate (a)	4.06	%	4.86	%	5.55	%	2.82	%	3.76	%	4.38	%
Rate of compensation increase	4.50	%	4.50	%	4.50	%	—		—		—
Net periodic benefit expense:
Discount rate (a)(b)	4.86	%	5.55	%	5.80	%	3.76	%	4.38	%	5.50	%
Rate of compensation increase	4.50	%	4.50	%	4.57	%	—		—		—
Expected long-term return on plan assets (c)	7.00	%	7.25	%	7.50	%	—		—		—

________________

(a) We determine the discount rate primarily by reference to the effective yields on high quality corporate bonds that have a comparable cash flow pattern to the expected payments to be made under our plans.

(b) As a result of the changes to other postretirement benefits during the second quarter of 2010, we remeasured our postretirement obligation as of June 30, 2010. The discount rate used to determine the net periodic benefit expense was 6.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and 4.64% for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

(c) The expected return on plan assets reflects the weighted-average of the expected long-term rates of return for the broad categories of investments held in the plans. The expected long-term rate of return is adjusted when there are fundamental changes in expected returns on the plan’s investments.

The assumed health care cost trend rates used to determine the projected postretirement benefit obligation are as follows:

	2012		2011
Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year	7.90	%	8.00	%
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate)	4.80	%	4.80	%
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate	2024		2024

Assumed health care cost trend rates could have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. However, at December 31, 2012, a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have less than a million dollar effect on the service and interest cost components and on our postretirement benefit obligation.

Future Cash Flows

We are not required to make any contributions to our funded employee pension plan under applicable laws and regulations during the 2013 fiscal year and we continue to evaluate our expected 2013 voluntary contributions.

The following estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid for our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits in the years indicated (in millions):

	Pension Benefits		Other Postretirement Benefits
2013	$	55	$	10
2014	58		9

Thrift Plan

We sponsor an employee thrift 401(k) plan that provides for contributions, subject to certain limitations, by eligible employees into designated investment funds with a matching contribution by Tesoro. Employees may elect tax-deferred or Roth treatment in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. We match 100% of employee contributions, up to 6% of the employee’s eligible compensation (subject to applicable union collective bargaining agreements). Effective August 2011, we eliminated the requirement that 50% of Tesoro’s matching contribution to employees be invested in Tesoro’s common stock held in the Tesoro common stock fund, and began allowing employees the ability to invest their own contributions in the Tesoro common stock fund. Our contributions to the thrift plan amounted to $19 million, in both 2012 and 2011, and $24 million in 2010, of which $13 million consisted of treasury stock reissuances in 2010. Treasury stock reissuances were not used to fund contributions during 2012 or 2011.

Retail Savings Plan

We sponsor a separate 401(k) savings plan for eligible retail store employees who meet the plan’s eligibility requirements. Eligible employees automatically receive a non-elective employer contribution equal to 3% of eligible earnings, regardless of participation. For employees that make pre-tax contributions, we also provide a matching contribution equal to $0.50 for each $1.00 of employee contributions, up to 6% of eligible earnings. Effective August 2011, we eliminated the requirement that 50% of Tesoro’s matching contribution to employees be invested in Tesoro’s common stock held in the Tesoro common stock fund, and began allowing employees the ability to invest their own contributions in the Tesoro common stock fund. Our contributions amounted to $0.7 million in both 2012 and 2011, and $0.1 million in 2010, which primarily consisted of treasury stock reissuances in 2010. Treasury stock reissuances were not used to fund contributions during 2012 or 2011.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

We also sponsor a non-qualified executive deferred compensation plan, which provides eligible employees the opportunity for additional pre-tax deferrals and company contributions not provided under our thrift 401(k) plan due to compensation and deferral limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTE Q - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

We have various cancellable and noncancellable operating leases related to land, office and retail facilities, ship charters, tanks and equipment and other facilities used in the storage, transportation, and sale of crude oil, feedstocks and refined products. Rental expense for all operating leases, gross of sublease income, including leases with a term of one month or less, was $482 million in 2012, $398 million in 2011 and $347 million in 2010. See Note M for information related to capital leases.

The majority of our future lease payments relate to marine transportation, retail station and tank storage leases. As of December 31, 2012, we had seven ships on time charter used to transport crude oil and refined products. These ships have remaining time charters expiring between 2013 and 2014, with options to renew. We also time charter tugs and product barges over varying terms ending in 2013 through 2016, most with options to renew and some with rate escalation clauses. Our time charters contain initial terms up to seven years. We have operating leases for most of our retail stations with primary remaining terms up to 40 years, most of which contain renewal options and escalation clauses. Our storage tank leases run primarily through 2017.

Purchase Obligations and Other Commitments

Tesoro’s contractual purchase commitments consist primarily of crude oil supply contracts for our refineries from several suppliers with noncancellable remaining terms ranging up to 7 years with renewal provisions. Prices under the term agreements typically fluctuate with market prices. Assuming actual market crude prices as of December 31, 2012, ranging by crude oil type from $72 per barrel to $114 per barrel, our minimum crude oil supply commitments for the following years are: $5.6 billion in 2013, $2.9 billion in 2014, $2.2 billion in 2015, $1.5 billion in 2016 and $0.5 billion in 2017. The remaining commitments after 2017 total $1.3 billion over approximately 2 years. In addition, to these purchase commitments, we also have minimum contractual capital spending commitments, totaling approximately $123 million in 2013.

We have certain commitments or obligations for the transportation of crude oil and refined products as well as to purchase industrial gases, chemical processing services and utilities associated with the operation of our refineries. The minimum annual payments under these take-or-pay agreements are estimated to total $307 million in 2013, $162 million in 2014, $118 million in 2015, $88 million in 2016 and $59 million in 2017. The remaining minimum commitments after 2017 total approximately $236 million over 8 years. We incurred approximately $448 million, $433 million and $338 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in expense under these take-or-pay contracts.

Environmental and Tax Matters

We are a party to various litigation and contingent loss situations, including environmental and income tax matters, arising in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcomes of these matters with certainty, we have accrued for the estimated liabilities when appropriate. We believe that the outcome of these matters will not have a material impact on our liquidity or financial position, although the resolution of certain of these matters could have a material impact on our interim or annual results of operations. Additionally, if applicable, we accrue receivables for probable third-party recoveries.

We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which change frequently, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require us to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites, install additional controls, or make other modifications to certain emission sources, equipment or facilities.

We are subject to extensive federal, state and foreign tax laws and regulations. Newly enacted tax laws and regulations, and changes in existing tax laws and regulations, could result in increased expenditures in the future. We are also subject to audits by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities in the normal course of business. It is possible that tax audits could result in claims against us in excess of recorded liabilities. We believe that resolution of any such claim(s) would not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity. We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months.

Environmental Liabilities

We are incurring and expect to continue to incur expenses for environmental liabilities at a number of currently and previously owned or operated refining, pipeline, terminal and retail station properties. We have accrued liabilities for these expenses and believe these accruals are adequate based on current information and projections that can be reasonably estimated. Our environmental accruals are based on estimates including engineering assessments, and it is possible that our projections will change, and that additional costs will be recorded as more information becomes available. Changes in our environmental liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, were as follows (in millions):

	2012			2011
Balance at beginning of year	$	93		$	108
Additions, net	13			11
Expenditures	(20		)	(26		)
Balance at end of year	$	86		$	93

These accruals include $54 million and $55 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to environmental liabilities for site cleanup activities assumed from a prior owner, arising from operations at our Martinez refinery prior to August 2000. Of the $54 million accrued at December 31, 2012, approximately $45 million is subject to a cost-share agreement where we are responsible for 75% of the expenditures. We cannot reasonably determine the full extent of remedial activities that may be required at the Martinez refinery. Therefore, it is possible that we will identify additional investigation and remediation costs as more information becomes available. We have filed insurance claims under environmental insurance policies. These policies provide coverage up to $190 million for expenditures in excess of $50 million in self-insurance, but the insurer has challenged coverage and filed a declaratory relief action in federal court. We have not recognized possible insurance recoveries related to this matter.

We have investigated conditions at certain active wastewater treatment units at our Martinez refinery.  The investigation was driven by an order received in 2004 from the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board. The order named us as well as two previous owners of the Martinez refinery.  We cannot currently estimate the amount of the ultimate resolution of the order, but we believe it will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Washington Refinery Fire

The naphtha hydrotreater unit at our Washington refinery was involved in a fire in April 2010, which fatally injured seven employees and rendered the unit inoperable. The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (“L&I”), the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (“CSB”) and the EPA initiated separate investigations of the incident. L&I completed its investigation in October 2010, issued citations and assessed a $2.4 million fine, which we appealed. L&I reassumed jurisdiction of the citation and affirmed the allegations in December 2010. We disagree with L&I’s characterizations of operations at our Washington refinery and believe, based on available evidence and scientific reviews, that many of the agency’s conclusions are mistaken. We filed an appeal of the citation in January 2011. The EPA and CSB investigations are ongoing. In addition to the business interruption losses incurred related to temporarily shutting down the refinery, we have incurred charges related to the incident of $7 million, $8 million and $27 million during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These amounts do not include insurance recoveries, which are discussed below.

In July 2012, we settled all claims brought by the estates and families of the seven fatally injured employees and a third-party truck driver (Donald and Peggy Zimmerman et al. v. Tesoro Corporation and Tesoro Refining and Marketing et al.).  The resolution of these claims did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Our business interruption insurance deductible is satisfied after we have exceeded both 60 days of operational disruption and $25 million in losses primarily based on the operating plan that existed prior to the incident. Our property damage insurance has a $10 million deductible. We have filed business interruption insurance claims and property damage claims related to down time from this incident. We collected $87 million in business interruption insurance recoveries that relate to down time from the incident, which were recorded as an offset to cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations. Of the $87 million collected, $32 million was recorded in 2011 and $55 million was recorded in 2010. We received $17 million to settle the property damage claim filed for this incident, which was recorded as a reduction to operating expense in our statements of consolidated operations. Of the $17 million, $5 million was recorded in 2011 and $12 million was recorded in 2010. As of December 31, 2012, all property damage claims have been settled but certain business interruption claims remain open.

Other Matters

In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. Large, and sometimes unspecified, damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters. We have not established accruals for these matters unless a loss is probable, and the amount of loss is currently estimable. On the basis of existing information, we believe that the resolution of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our liquidity or financial position, although the resolution of certain of these matters could have a material impact on our interim or annual results of operations.

Legal

We are a defendant, along with other manufacturing, supply and marketing defendants, in two remaining lawsuits alleging methyl tertiary butyl ether (“MTBE”) contamination in groundwater. The defendants are being sued for having manufactured MTBE and having manufactured, supplied and distributed gasoline containing MTBE. The plaintiffs in the remaining cases, all in California, are municipalities and governmental authorities. The plaintiffs allege, in part, that the defendants are liable for manufacturing or distributing a defective product. The suits generally seek individual, unquantified compensatory and punitive damages and attorney’s fees. We intend to vigorously assert our defenses against these claims. While we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of these matters, we have established an accrual for them and believe that the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

During 2009, Chevron filed a lawsuit against us claiming they are entitled to a share of the refunds we received in 2008 from the owners of the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (“TAPS”). We received $50 million in 2008, net of contingent legal fees, for excessive intrastate rates charged by TAPS during 1997 through 2000, and the period of 2001 through June 2003. Chevron is asserting that it is entitled to a share of its portion of the refunds for retroactive price adjustments under our previous crude oil contracts with them. The trial court judge granted Chevron’s motion for summary judgment and awarded them $16 million, including interest, in September 2010. We disagree with the trial court and have appealed the decision to the Alaska Supreme Court in which the proceeding is now pending. We have established an accrual for this matter and its resolution will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Environmental

The EPA has alleged that we have violated certain Clean Air Act regulations at our Alaska, Washington, Martinez, Hawaii and Utah refineries. We are continuing discussions of the EPA’s claims with the EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”). We previously received a notice of violation (“NOV”) in March 2011 from the EPA alleging violations of Title V of the Clean Air Act at our Alaska refinery. The alleged violations in the NOV arise from a 2007 state of Alaska inspection and inspections by the EPA in 2008 and 2010. We also previously received NOVs in 2005 and 2008 alleging violations of the Clean Air Act at our Washington refinery. We are discussing all of these allegations with the EPA and DOJ. The ultimate resolution of these matters could require us to incur material capital expenditures and/or civil penalties. While we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of these matters, and currently believe that the outcome will not have a material impact on our liquidity or financial position, the ultimate resolution could have a material impact on our interim or annual results of operations.

NOTE R - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Our Revolving Credit Agreement and senior notes each limit our ability to pay cash dividends or buy back our stock. The limitation in each of our debt agreements is based on limits on restricted payments (as defined in our debt agreements), which include dividends, purchases of our stock or voluntary prepayments of subordinate debt. The aggregate amount of restricted payments cannot exceed an amount defined in each of the debt agreements. The indentures for our senior notes also limit certain of our subsidiaries ability to make certain payments and distributions. See Note S for information relating to stock-based compensation and common stock reserved for stock-based compensation awards.

Treasury Stock

We have the option to purchase shares of our common stock in open market transactions to meet our obligations under employee benefit plans. We also purchase shares of our common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options, the vesting of restricted stock and to fulfill other stock compensation requirements.

108

TESORO CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In August 2012, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a $500 million share repurchase program. Under the program, management is permitted to purchase Tesoro common stock at its discretion in the open market. The authorization has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We purchased approximately 2.5 million shares of our common stock for approximately $100 million during 2012 under this share repurchase program.

During 2011, our Board approved a program designed to offset the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards. As a result, we purchased approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $24.81 per share for approximately $26 million during 2012, and 4.7 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $20.19 per share for approximately $95 million during 2011.

Cash Dividends

In August 2012, our Board authorized the initiation of a regular quarterly cash dividend and approved an initial dividend payment of $0.12 per share. In October 2012, our Board approved an increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.15 per share. During 2012, we paid cash dividends on common stock totaling $0.27 per share, or $38 million. We did not pay any cash dividends during 2011 or 2010. On February 5, 2013, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.20 per share. The dividend is payable on March 15, 2013 to holders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2013.

NOTE S - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

We issue stock-based awards as described below to employees under the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”). We also have outstanding awards under our 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”), Amended and Restated Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan and Non-Employee Director Stock Plan. Tesoro had 3,575,790 shares available for future grants under our plans at December 31, 2012, assuming a 200% payout of performance-based awards. Usually, when stock options are exercised or when restricted common stock is granted we issue new shares rather than issuing treasury shares. Our plans are described below.

• The 2011 Plan permits the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted common stock, restricted stock units, and incentive bonuses (which may be paid in cash, stock, or a combination thereof), any of which may be performance-based. The 2011 Plan became effective in May 2011 and no awards may be granted under the 2011 Plan on or after February 2021. Stock options may be granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value on the date the options are granted.

• The 2006 Plan permits the grant of options, restricted common stock, deferred stock units, performance stock awards, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. The 2006 Plan became effective in May 2006. Stock options may be granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value on the date the options are granted. Options granted become exercisable after one year in 33% annual increments and expire ten years from the date of grant. No further awards may be granted under this plan.

• The Amended and Restated Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan, which expired in May 2006, allowed grants in a variety of forms, including restricted stock, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share and performance unit awards.

• The 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan provided for the grant of nonqualified stock options over the life of the plan to eligible non-employee directors of Tesoro. These automatic, non-discretionary stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value per share of Tesoro’s common stock at the date of grant. The term of each option is ten years, and an option becomes exercisable six months after it is granted. The plan expired in February 2010 and no further options may be granted under this plan.

TLGP maintains a unit-based compensation plan for officers and directors of TLGP and its affiliates. The TLLP 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“TLLP Plan”) permits the grant of options, restricted units, phantom units, unit appreciation rights, distribution equivalent rights, unit awards, and other unit-based awards. Awards granted during 2012 under the TLLP Plan will be settled with TLLP units. Compensation expense for these awards were not material to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Stock Appreciation Rights

A SAR entitles an employee to receive cash in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR. The fair value of each SAR is estimated at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We did not grant SARs to our employees during the years ended December 31, 2012 or 2011. We paid cash of $38 million and $11 million to settle SARs exercised during 2012 and 2011, respectively. We had $79 million and $55 million recorded in accrued liabilities associated with our SARs awards in our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

A summary of our SARs activity for the year ended December 31, 2012, is set forth below (shares in thousands):

	Number of SARs		Weighted Average Exercise Price	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term
Outstanding at January 1, 2012	6,037		$23.72	3.5 years
Exercised	(2,088	)	16.19
Forfeited	(114	)	29.91
Outstanding at December 31, 2012	3,835		27.64	2.3 years
Vested or expected to vest at December 31, 2012	3,835		27.64	2.3 years
Exercisable at December 31, 2012	3,704		28.16	2.2 years

The expected life of SARs granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that the awards are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock. We use historical data to estimate SAR exercises and employee termination within the valuation model. Expected dividend yield is based on annualized dividends at the date of valuation. The risk-free rate of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of valuation. The weighted-average assumptions used to value our SARs as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, are presented below:

	2012	2011	2010
Expected life from date of grant (years)	7	6	6

Performance Share Awards

Performance Conditions

We granted performance condition performance share awards under the 2011 Plan in February 2012. The vesting percentages of these equity awards, range from 0-200%, and are tied to performance conditions over a three-year period. These performance share awards vest at the end of the performance period. The fair value of performance share awards tied to performance measures is estimated using the market price of our common stock on the grant date. The estimated fair value of these performance share awards is amortized over a three-year vesting period using the straight-line method. The value of the award ultimately paid will be based on return on capital employed, which is measured against the performance peer group.

Market Conditions

We granted market condition performance share awards under the 2011 Plan in February 2012. The vesting percentages of these equity awards, range from 0-200%, and are tied to market conditions over a three-year performance period. These performance share awards vest at the end of the performance period. The fair value of each performance share award is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model and is estimated at the end of each reporting period. The estimated fair value of these performance share awards is amortized over a three-year vesting period using the straight-line method. The value of the award ultimately paid will be based on relative total shareholder return, which is measured against the performance peer group and the S&P 500 Index.

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility over the most recent three year period. Expected dividend yield is based on annualized dividends at the date of valuation. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of valuation. The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation used to value our market condition performance share awards as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 are presented below:

Market Stock Units

We granted market stock units under the 2011 Plan in February 2012. These market stock units represent the right to receive a target number of shares that will vest at the end of a three-year performance period. The number of shares ultimately issued will be based on Tesoro’s stock price changes over the performance period. The market stock units’ potential payout can range from 50-200% of targeted award value, unless the average closing stock price at vesting has decreased more than 50% from the average closing stock price at the grant date, then no market stock units will be paid out. The fair value of each market stock unit is estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The estimated fair value of these market stock units is amortized over a three-year vesting period using the straight-line method. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated weighted average payout percentage for these awards was 169%. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested market stock units totaled $18 million as of December 31, 2012, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. A summary of our market stock unit award activity, assuming a 100% payout, is set forth below (units in thousands):

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock. We use historical data to estimate employee termination within the valuation model. Expected dividend yield is based on annualized dividends at the date of grant. The risk-free rate for periods within the performance period is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Tesoro’s weighted-average assumptions used to measure units granted during 2012 and 2011 are presented below:

Expected volatility	51%	68%
Expected dividend yield	—%	—%
Risk-free interest rate	0.3%	1.0%

Restricted Common Stock

The fair value of each restricted share on the grant date is equal to the market price of our common stock on that date. The estimated fair value of our restricted common stock is amortized over the vesting period primarily using the straight-line method. These awards primarily vest in annual increments ratably over three years. The total fair value of restricted shares vested in 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $14 million, $18 million and $7 million, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of restricted common stock granted during 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $30.78, $22.01 and $12.94, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to our non-vested restricted common stock totaled $2 million as of December 31, 2012. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years. The fair value of non-vested restricted common stock, as of December 31, 2012, totaled $17 million.

Performance Units

We granted performance units to certain officers and other key employees during 2010. These performance units represent the right to receive a cash payment at the end of the performance period depending on Tesoro’s achievement of pre-established performance measures and vested on December 31, 2012. The value of the award as of December 31, 2012 was based on our relative total shareholder return against the performance peer group and the S&P 500 index as well as the absolute total shareholder return of Tesoro’s common stock over the performance period. The performance units were settled in cash and paid out at 150% of targeted award value in February 2013. Prior to the vesting date, the fair value of each performance unit was estimated at the end of each reporting period using a Monte Carlo simulation model. We had $6 million and $3 million recorded in accrued liabilities associated with our performance units at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. A summary of our performance unit activity is set forth below (units in thousands):

Stock Options

Under the terms of our stock option plans, the exercise price of options granted is equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of these stock options is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. The estimated weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of options granted during 2011 and 2010 was $12.07 and $7.36, respectively. There were no options granted to our employees during 2012.

Our options primarily become exercisable after one year in 33% annual increments and expire ten years from the date of grant. Stock options granted in connection with the inducement awards provided to our chief executive officer vest 30% on each of the first two anniversaries of the grant date and 40% on the third anniversary of the grant date. The total intrinsic value for options exercised during 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $28 million, $31 million and $7 million, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options totaled $1 million as of December 31, 2012, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.7 years. The reduction in current taxes payable from tax deductions associated with stock options exercised during 2012 totaled $10 million.

NOTE T - OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company’s revenues are derived from two operating segments, refining and retail. We own and operate seven petroleum refineries located in California, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota and Utah. These refineries manufacture gasoline and gasoline blendstocks, jet fuel, diesel fuel, residual fuel oil and other refined products. We sell these refined products, together with refined products purchased from third parties, at wholesale through terminal facilities and other locations. Our refining segment also sells refined products to unbranded marketers and opportunistically exports refined products to foreign markets. Our retail segment sells gasoline, diesel fuel and convenience store items through company-operated retail stations and branded jobber/dealers in 18 states. We do not have significant operations in foreign countries. Therefore, revenue generated and long-lived assets located in foreign countries are not material to our operations.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on segment operating income. Segment operating income includes those revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to management of the respective segment. Intersegment sales from refining to retail are made at prevailing market rates. Income taxes, other income (expense), net, interest and financing costs, net, corporate depreciation and corporate general and administrative expenses are excluded from segment operating income. Identifiable assets are those used by the segments, whereas corporate assets are principally cash and other assets that are not associated with a specific operating segment.

NOTE U - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Separate condensed consolidating financial information of Tesoro Corporation (the “Parent”), subsidiary guarantors and non-guarantors are presented below. As noted in Note M, we redeemed all of our outstanding $299 million6.250% Senior Notes due November 2012 and satisfied our obligations on our 6.625% Senior Notes due 2015and 6.500% Senior Notes due 2017, thereby releasing the guarantors of these notes’ guarantees. At December 31, 2012, Tesoro and certain subsidiary guarantors have fully and unconditionally guaranteed our 4.250% Senior Notes due 2017, 9.750% Senior Notes due 2019 and 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022. TLLP, in which we had a 47% ownership interest as of December 31, 2012, and other subsidiaries have not guaranteed these obligations. As a result of these guarantee arrangements, we are required to present the following condensed consolidating financial information, which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The following condensed consolidating financial information is provided as an alternative to providing separate financial statements for guarantor subsidiaries. Separate financial statements of Tesoro’s subsidiary guarantors are not included because the guarantees are full and unconditional and these subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned and jointly and severally liable for Tesoro’s outstanding senior notes. The information is presented using the equity method of accounting for investments in subsidiaries.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information that we are required to disclose in reports we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We, as management of Tesoro Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s 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.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on such assessment, we conclude that as of December 31, 2012, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

The independent registered public accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP, as auditors of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, included herein.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

Representation and Services Agreement for Oil Spill Contingency Planning, Response and Remediation

On February 21, 2013, Tesoro Companies, Inc. (“TCI”), Tesoro Maritime Company (“TMC”),  Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC (“TRMC”), Tesoro Alaska Company (“TAC”), Kenai Pipeline Company (“KPL”), Tesoro Alaska Pipeline Company (“TAPL”), Tesoro Logistics Operations LLC (“TLO”), Tesoro High Plains Pipeline Company LLC (“THPP”), Tesoro Logistics Pipelines LLC (“TLP”) and Tesoro Logistics Northwest Pipeline LLC (“TLNP”), whereby TCI, TRMC, TMC, TAC, KPL and TAPL are each individually a “Tesoro Party” and collectively the “Tesoro Parties,” and TLO, TLP, TLNP and THPP are each individually a “TLLP Party” and collectively the “TLLP Parties,” entered into an agreement (the “Oil Spill Contingency Agreement”) under which the Tesoro Parties and the TLLP Parties have agreed (i) that TCI will act as the sole representative for the Tesoro Parties and the TLLP Parties as a member in the Marine Preservation Association (the “MPA”), and TCI shall perform the duties and responsibilities of a member in MPA on behalf of both the Tesoro Parties and the TLLP Parties; and (ii) to the allocation among and between the Tesoro Parties and TLLP Parties of costs and expenses associated with oil spill contingency planning, response and remediation activities, such costs and expenses to include: MPA operating costs; fees charged by the Marine Spill Response Corporation (“MSRC”) to provide oil spill response and contingency planning for property owned and operated by TRMC, TAC, KPL, TAPL, THPP, TLNP and TLO and for vessels charted by TMC; incident response costs incurred by the MPA, MSRC, the Tesoro Parties or the TLLP Parties, and related remediation. 

126

The Oil Spill Contingency Agreement also provides for reimbursement to TLLP Parties or its parent, Tesoro Corporation, in those instances where TLLP facilities that are operated by a TLLP Party, but are owned or leased by a Tesoro Party, and the Tesoro Party or Tesoro Corporation is required to post or provide a parent guaranty or a Certificate of Financial Responsibility (“COFR”) to demonstrate adequate financial ability to pay for any incident response costs that might be associated with incidents at such TLLP facility.  The Tesoro Party owning or leasing such TLLP facility is entitled to reimbursement for any such incident response costs, and Tesoro Corporation shall be (x) subrogated to the rights of such Tesoro Party to receive such reimbursement to the extent that Tesoro Corporation is obligated to pay or guarantee payment of such Incident Response Costs pursuant to any such parent guaranty or COFR and (y) entitled to receive reimbursement from TLLP for any incremental costs or expenses incurred by it or a Tesoro Party in connection with the posting of a COFR for a TLLP facility. 

The Oil Spill Contingency Agreement continues until December 31, 2013 and shall renew for successive periods of one year thereafter, unless terminated by any party upon sixty (60) days advance written notice.  The parties may periodically evaluate whether the allocation and methods of paying the costs and expenses set forth in the Oil Spill Contingency Agreement remain appropriate under conditions as they may exist from time to time.  At any time after December 31, 2013, any party may request good faith renegotiation of all or any part of the Oil Spill Contingency Agreement, and in the event the Parties are unable to reach a consensus on any appropriate adjustments, then any party may terminate the Oil Contingency Agreement upon ten (10) days advance written notice as to subsequent costs incurred by TCI, but such termination shall not invalidate this Agreement as to costs incurred by TCI prior to the effective date of such termination.  Upon any termination of this Agreement, TCI may rescind its designation of the other Parties as covered entities with respect to TCI's membership in MPA.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Oil Spill Contingency Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.26 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Tesoro Corporation

We have audited Tesoro Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Tesoro Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process 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. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Tesoro Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based onthe COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Tesoro Corporation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 and our report dated February 22, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders (d)	151,513	13.09		—
Total	6,882,023	32.09		3,575,790

________________

(a) Includes only the exercise price for options to purchase common stock. No value is included in column (a) of the table for restricted stock units, performance share awards or market stock units since they do not have an exercise, or strike, price.

(b) For illustrative purposes, a maximum payout (i.e., a 200% ratio) has been assumed for vesting and payout of outstanding performance share award and market stock unit grants.

(c) The number of securities to be issued upon exercise under these approved plans include 3,376,076 options to purchase common stock, 10,168 restricted stock units, 1,273,004 performance share awards, and 2,071,262 market stock units. Each performance share award and market stock unit shown in the table represents a right to receive (upon vesting and payout) a specified number of our common shares. Vesting and payout may be conditioned upon achievement of pre-determined performance objectives or only upon continued service with us and our affiliates. For illustrative purposes, the maximum payout (i.e., a 200% ratio) provided by the provisions of the award agreements has been assumed for vesting and payout of performance share awards and market share awards. Payout at target levels (i.e., a 100% ratio) would result in 5,058,377 securities to be issued and 5,247,923 securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans.

(d) Stock options granted in connection with the inducement awards of the CEO Agreement were not granted under an equity compensation plan.

(e)In the event that there is an Incident involving a TLLP Facility, which results in one or more of the Tesoro Parties incurring Tesoro Response Costs, then the TLLP Party operating the TLLP Facility for which such costs are incurred shall reimburse and indemnify the Tesoro Parties for the Tesoro Response Costs associated with such Incident; provided however, that such TLLP Party shall not be responsible for reimbursing or indemnifying the Tesoro Parties for any Tesoro Response Costs to the extent that the Incident was attributable to the to the negligent or wrongful actions or omission of such Tesoro Party for which the TLLP Party would have a right of recovery against such Tesoro Party under law, regulation, equity or contract.

(f)In the event that there is an Incident involving a facility owned or operated by one of the Tesoro Parties, which results in one or more of the TLLP Parties incurring TLLP Response Costs, then the Tesoro Party owning or operating the facility for which such costs are incurred shall reimburse and indemnify the TLLP Parties for the TLLP Response Costs associated with

6

such Incident; provided however, that such Tesoro Party shall not be responsible for reimbursing or indemnifying the TLLP Parties for any TLLP Response Costs to the extent that the Incident was attributable to the to the negligent or wrongful actions or omissions of such TLLP Party for which the Tesoro Party would have a right of recovery against such TLLP Party under law, regulation, equity or contract.

(g)In the event that the Incident Response Costs relating to Incidents that are associated with both a facility operated by a TLLP Party or a Tesoro Party and a vessel chartered by TMC, then the Parties shall negotiate a fair and equitable allocation of costs among TCI, TMC and the Party operating such facility, based upon the nature of the costs and the Incidents that resulted in the Incident Response Costs and the respective culpability of the Parties with regard to such Incident. TMC shall be responsible for reimbursing the appropriate Parties for such Incident Response costs to the extent that law, regulation, equity or contract would impose such liability upon TMC as a charterer of the vessel. If the Incident involves a TLLP Facility, the TLLP Parties shall be subrogated to the rights of TMC to recover from the vessel or its insurers the Incident Response Costs incurred by TLLP, either directly or by reason of a reimbursement of the Tesoro Parties pursuant to this Agreement.

(h)In the event that TCI is charged for MSRC/MPA Response Costs relating to Incidents associated with facilities or operations of third parties that are unrelated to any facilities or operations of any of the Parties or vessels chartered or otherwise utilized by TCI, then the Parties shall negotiate a fair and equitable allocation of costs among themselves, based upon the nature of the costs and the Incident that resulted in the MSRC/MPA Response Costs and the respective relationships of the Parties with regard to such Incident.

(i)In no event shall any allocation of Incident Response Costs be made or required hereunder that would cause the Incident to be regarded as more than one occurrence with respect to all of the Parties' collective insurance coverages or that would expose the Parties to multiple insurance deductibles or self-insured retentions or otherwise limit or exclude insurance coverage with respect to such Incident, nor shall any provision of this agreement or any condition of TCI's representation of the Parties as a member in MPA be construed to provide such a result. If any Party recovers any MSRC/MPA Response Costs from the owner, operator, charterer or insurer of

7

a vessel or any other third party or any insurer, then such recovery shall be credited against and reduce and/or provide reimbursement for any Incident Response Costs that otherwise might be owed or have been paid by the other Parties hereto.

(j)This Agreement does not supersede or control over any allocation of Incident Response Costs that may be set forth in specific Operating Agreements, use and throughput agreements or other service agreements between the TLLP Parties and the Tesoro Parties regarding operation and use of the TLLP Facilities. The provisions of these agreements shall be harmonized with the provisions of this Agreement to the maximum extent possible. In the event of any conflict between the various terms, the provisions of the applicable Operating Agreement, use and throughput agreement or service agreement shall control over the terms of this Agreement.

5.Additions to TLLP Facilities. The Parties anticipate that in the future, TLLP will acquire additional logistics facilities from Tesoro Parties or from third parties, and that the Parties may agree that the Tesoro Parties should provide oil spill contingency planning and response services for those additional facilities. Upon such acquisition and agreement, each such facility will automatically become a TLLP Facility, subject to this Agreement.

6.Term and Termination. This Agreement shall continue until December 31, 2013 and shall renew for successive periods of one year thereafter, unless terminated by any Party upon sixty (60) days advance written notice. The Parties shall periodically evaluate whether the allocation of MPA Operating Costs set forth herein and the agreement not to include such MPA Operating Costs or MSRC Service Fees as components of tariffs and fees remains appropriate under conditions as they may exist from time to time. At any time after December 31, 2013, any Party may request renegotiation of all or any part of this Agreement, and the Parties shall then negotiate in good faith to make reasonable arrangements regarding future allocations of MPA Operating Costs, MSRC Service Fees and related adjustments of tariff and fee structures. In the event the Parties are unable to reach a consensus on any appropriate adjustments, then any Party may terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days advance written notice as to subsequent costs incurred by TCI, but such termination shall not invalidate this Agreement as to costs incurred by TCI prior to the effective date of such termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement,

8

TCI may rescind its designation of the other Parties as covered entities with respect to TCI's membership in MPA.

7.Parent Guaranties and COFRs. For TLLP Facilities that are operated by a TLLP Party, but are owned or leased by a Tesoro Party, then the Tesoro Party or its parent, Tesoro Corporation may be required to post or provide a parent guaranty or a Certificate of Financial Responsibility (“COFR”) to demonstrate adequate financial ability to pay for any Incident Response Costs that might be associated with Incidents at such TLLP Facility. The Tesoro Party owning or leasing such TLLP Facility shall be entitled to reimbursement for any such Incident Response Costs as provided herein, and Tesoro Corporation shall be (i) subrogated to the rights of such Tesoro Party to receive such reimbursement to the extent that Tesoro Corporation is obligated to pay or guarantee payment of such Incident Response Costs pursuant to any such parent guaranty or COFR, and (ii) entitled to receive reimbursement from TLLP for any incremental costs or expenses incurred by it or a Tesoro Party in connection with the posting of a COFR for a TLLP Facility.

8.Miscellaneous.

(a)Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, provided however, that no Party may assign its interests under this Agreement without the consent of all the Parties hereto.

(b)Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may be terminated, amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Parties. Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived in writing at any time by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof. No waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any breach thereof, will be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized individual on behalf of the Party against which the waiver is sought to be enforced. No waiver of any term or condition or of any breach of this Agreement will be deemed or will constitute a waiver of any other term or condition or of any later breach (whether or not similar), nor will such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

9

(c)Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.

2013 Incentive Compensation Program

On February 4, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved the terms of the 2013 Incentive Compensation Program (the “2013 ICP” or the “2013 Program”). In addition, the Compensation Committee approved the target payouts for our Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers.  The 2013 Program consists of two equally weighted components: Corporate and Business Unit performance, which are outlined below. The performance results of Tesoro Corporation (the “Company”) and the individual business units may be adjusted to take into account unbudgeted business decisions, unusual or non-recurring items, and other factors, as approved by the Compensation Committee, to determine the total amount, if any, available under the 2013 ICP. The Compensation Committee also has discretion to adjust individual awards based on their assessment of an individual executive's performance relative to successful achievement of goals, business plan execution, and other leadership attributes.

Component 1 - Corporate Performance - weighted as 50% of total bonus opportunity measured against target with the range of outcomes between 0% to 200%. Corporate performance metrics include the following:

• Achievement of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) measured on a margin neutral basis (this is the most heavily weighted metric, constituting 50% of the bonus opportunity for the corporate performance component)

• Safety - Targeted improvement in recordable incidents

• Process Safety Management - Targeted improvement in the number of process safety incidents

• Environmental - Targeted improvement in the number of environmental incidents

• Cost Management - Measurement of non-capital cash expenditure versus budget (this metric constitutes 35% of the bonus opportunity for the corporate performance component)

Component 2 - Business Unit Performance - weighted as 50% of total bonus opportunity measured against target with the range of outcomes between 0% to 200%. Business Unit performance is measured through balanced scorecards with performance metrics including, but not limited to:

• Safety and Environmental

• Cost Management

• Improvements in EBITDA

• Business improvement and value creation initiatives

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives, Policy

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of feedstocks, products and energy supplies to or from our refineries, terminals, retail operations and customers. We also use non-trading derivative instruments to manage price risks associated with inventories above or below our target levels. These derivative instruments typically include exchange-traded futures and over-the-counter swaps and options, with durations of less than two years. Our positions are monitored daily by our trading controls group to ensure compliance with our risk management policies.

When we acquire a derivative instrument, it is designated as a mark-to-market derivative or a fair value hedge derivative. We mark-to-market our derivative instruments and recognize the changes in their fair values, realized or unrealized, in either revenues or cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations, depending on the purpose for acquiring and holding the derivatives. For instruments that are not designated as fair value hedges, we do not record a change in the value of the related underlying physical commodity. The gain or loss on derivative instruments designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item, are recognized in income in the same period. We use fair value hedges for certain foreign subsidiary crude oil inventories.

All derivatives are recorded and carried at fair value in receivables, other current assets or accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets. The changes in fair value of the designated hedged inventory for fair value hedge derivatives have been recorded in inventories on the consolidated balance sheets. Margin deposits represent cash collateral paid between our counterparties and us to support our commodity contracts. We net our asset and liability positions associated with multiple derivative instruments that are executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements.

We apply hedge accounting when transactions meet specified criteria for such treatment and may designate a derivative as a fair value hedging instrument for accounting purposes to hedge certain foreign subsidiary crude oil inventories. The hedged inventory is valued at current spot market prices whereas the financial derivative is valued using forward commodity prices. Changes in the difference between forward and spot prices are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations until the commodity is sold and the related financial derivative is settled. A hedge is regarded as highly effective and qualifies for hedge accounting if it is expected at its inception and throughout the term of the contract that changes in the fair value of the hedged item are almost fully offset by the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument.

We discontinue hedge accounting when we determine that the derivative has ceased to be highly effective as a hedge; when the derivative expires, or is sold, terminated, or exercised; when the hedged item is sold; or when a forecasted transaction is no longer deemed probable. Any ineffectiveness is recorded in the statements of consolidated operations during the period in which the derivative instrument is deemed ineffective.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of a commodity derivative depends on whether the derivative has been designated in a hedging relationship and whether we have elected the normal purchases and normal sales exception. The accounting for the change in fair value can be summarized as follows:

Derivative Treatment	Accounting Method
Normal purchases and normal sales exception	Accrual accounting
Designated in qualifying hedging relationship	Hedge accounting
All other derivatives	Mark-to-market accounting

[1] We have the option to elect if borrowings will bear interest at either a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable period, plus, the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin varies based upon our Revolving Credit Facility’s credit ratings. Letters of credit outstanding under the Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility incur fees at the Eurodollar margin rate. We also incur commitment fees for the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate.

[2] TLLP has the option to elect if borrowings bear interest at either a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable period, plus, the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin varies based upon a certain leverage ratio, as defined by the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility. TLLP incurs commitment fees for the unused portion of the TLLP Revolving Credit at an annual rate. In January 2013, TLLP amended this facility which among other things, decreases the borrowing rates under this facility. See additional information under TLLP Revolving Credit Facility below.

[1] The categorization of the investments held at December 31, 2011 was presented to conform to current year presentation.

[2] Fixed income assets represent securities primarily invested in corporate, government-related, mortgage and asset-backed debt obligations with a primary focus on long duration securities. Individual fixed income securities are typically priced on the basis of evaluated prices from independent pricing services. All fixed income securities are classified as level 2 investments.

[3] Mutual funds that invest primarily in domestic and international equity and fixed income securities. Fair values are based on market quotations from national securities exchanges. Absolute return and real return mutual funds consist of investments in mutual funds that invest in a broad set of asset classes designed to provide a target return regardless of market conditions or the potential for real returns in excess of U.S. inflation, respectively. The fixed income mutual fund consists of a fund which is part of a trust managed by a registered investment company. Fair value for the fixed income mutual fund reflects the net asset value per share as determined by the investment manager and derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities. Absolute and real return mutual funds and a U.S. equity mutual fund are categorized as level 1 investments and the fixed income mutual fund is categorized as a level 2 investment.

[4] Common/collective trust funds that invest in primarily equity and fixed income securities. Fair values reflect the net asset value per share, as determined by the investment manager and derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities. Common/collective trust funds are classified as level 2 investments.

[5] The short-term investment funds provide for safety of principal and daily liquidity and is valued using the net asset value per share. These assets are classified as level 2 investments.

[6] The limited partnership asset represents an interest in the Platte River Fund, L.P. (“Partnership”) which invests primarily in domestic equity securities that are considered undervalued. The Partnership may also invest in equity securities of American Depository Receipts or mutual funds. Fair value is based on the limited partner account balance comprised of all contributions and withdrawals made along with its interest in net income realized and unrealized by the Partnership. The limited partnership investment is classified as a level 2 investment.

Commitments and Contingencies (Notes)

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

We have various cancellable and noncancellable operating leases related to land, office and retail facilities, ship charters, tanks and equipment and other facilities used in the storage, transportation, and sale of crude oil, feedstocks and refined products. Rental expense for all operating leases, gross of sublease income, including leases with a term of one month or less, was $482 million in 2012, $398 million in 2011 and $347 million in 2010. See Note M for information related to capital leases.

The majority of our future lease payments relate to marine transportation, retail station and tank storage leases. As of December 31, 2012, we had seven ships on time charter used to transport crude oil and refined products. These ships have remaining time charters expiring between 2013 and 2014, with options to renew. We also time charter tugs and product barges over varying terms ending in 2013 through 2016, most with options to renew and some with rate escalation clauses. Our time charters contain initial terms up to seven years. We have operating leases for most of our retail stations with primary remaining terms up to 40 years, most of which contain renewal options and escalation clauses. Our storage tank leases run primarily through 2017.

Our minimum annual lease payments, as of December 31, 2012, for operating leases having initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year were (in millions):

	Time Charters		Other		Total
2013	$	92	$	129	$	221
2014	29		133		162
2015	12		130		142

2017	—		101		101
Thereafter	—		486		486
Total minimum rental payments	$	144	$	1,102	$	1,246

Purchase Obligations and Other Commitments

Tesoro’s contractual purchase commitments consist primarily of crude oil supply contracts for our refineries from several suppliers with noncancellable remaining terms ranging up to 7 years with renewal provisions. Prices under the term agreements typically fluctuate with market prices. Assuming actual market crude prices as of December 31, 2012, ranging by crude oil type from $72 per barrel to $114 per barrel, our minimum crude oil supply commitments for the following years are: $5.6 billion in 2013, $2.9 billion in 2014, $2.2 billion in 2015, $1.5 billion in 2016 and $0.5 billion in 2017. The remaining commitments after 2017 total $1.3 billion over approximately 2 years. In addition, to these purchase commitments, we also have minimum contractual capital spending commitments, totaling approximately $123 million in 2013.

We have certain commitments or obligations for the transportation of crude oil and refined products as well as to purchase industrial gases, chemical processing services and utilities associated with the operation of our refineries. The minimum annual payments under these take-or-pay agreements are estimated to total $307 million in 2013, $162 million in 2014, $118 million in 2015, $88 million in 2016 and $59 million in 2017. The remaining minimum commitments after 2017 total approximately $236 million over 8 years. We incurred approximately $448 million, $433 million and $338 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in expense under these take-or-pay contracts.

Environmental and Tax Matters

We are a party to various litigation and contingent loss situations, including environmental and income tax matters, arising in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcomes of these matters with certainty, we have accrued for the estimated liabilities when appropriate. We believe that the outcome of these matters will not have a material impact on our liquidity or financial position, although the resolution of certain of these matters could have a material impact on our interim or annual results of operations. Additionally, if applicable, we accrue receivables for probable third-party recoveries.

We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which change frequently, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require us to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites, install additional controls, or make other modifications to certain emission sources, equipment or facilities.

We are subject to extensive federal, state and foreign tax laws and regulations. Newly enacted tax laws and regulations, and changes in existing tax laws and regulations, could result in increased expenditures in the future. We are also subject to audits by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities in the normal course of business. It is possible that tax audits could result in claims against us in excess of recorded liabilities. We believe that resolution of any such claim(s) would not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity. We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months.

Environmental Liabilities

We are incurring and expect to continue to incur expenses for environmental liabilities at a number of currently and previously owned or operated refining, pipeline, terminal and retail station properties. We have accrued liabilities for these expenses and believe these accruals are adequate based on current information and projections that can be reasonably estimated. Our environmental accruals are based on estimates including engineering assessments, and it is possible that our projections will change, and that additional costs will be recorded as more information becomes available. Changes in our environmental liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, were as follows (in millions):

	2012			2011
Balance at beginning of year	$	93		$	108
Additions, net	13			11
Expenditures	(20		)	(26		)
Balance at end of year	$	86		$	93

These accruals include $54 million and $55 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to environmental liabilities for site cleanup activities assumed from a prior owner, arising from operations at our Martinez refinery prior to August 2000. Of the $54 million accrued at December 31, 2012, approximately $45 million is subject to a cost-share agreement where we are responsible for 75% of the expenditures. We cannot reasonably determine the full extent of remedial activities that may be required at the Martinez refinery. Therefore, it is possible that we will identify additional investigation and remediation costs as more information becomes available. We have filed insurance claims under environmental insurance policies. These policies provide coverage up to $190 million for expenditures in excess of $50 million in self-insurance, but the insurer has challenged coverage and filed a declaratory relief action in federal court. We have not recognized possible insurance recoveries related to this matter.

We have investigated conditions at certain active wastewater treatment units at our Martinez refinery.  The investigation was driven by an order received in 2004 from the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board. The order named us as well as two previous owners of the Martinez refinery.  We cannot currently estimate the amount of the ultimate resolution of the order, but we believe it will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Washington Refinery Fire

The naphtha hydrotreater unit at our Washington refinery was involved in a fire in April 2010, which fatally injured seven employees and rendered the unit inoperable. The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (“L&I”), the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (“CSB”) and the EPA initiated separate investigations of the incident. L&I completed its investigation in October 2010, issued citations and assessed a $2.4 million fine, which we appealed. L&I reassumed jurisdiction of the citation and affirmed the allegations in December 2010. We disagree with L&I’s characterizations of operations at our Washington refinery and believe, based on available evidence and scientific reviews, that many of the agency’s conclusions are mistaken. We filed an appeal of the citation in January 2011. The EPA and CSB investigations are ongoing. In addition to the business interruption losses incurred related to temporarily shutting down the refinery, we have incurred charges related to the incident of $7 million, $8 million and $27 million during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These amounts do not include insurance recoveries, which are discussed below.

In July 2012, we settled all claims brought by the estates and families of the seven fatally injured employees and a third-party truck driver (Donald and Peggy Zimmerman et al. v. Tesoro Corporation and Tesoro Refining and Marketing et al.).  The resolution of these claims did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Our business interruption insurance deductible is satisfied after we have exceeded both 60 days of operational disruption and $25 million in losses primarily based on the operating plan that existed prior to the incident. Our property damage insurance has a $10 million deductible. We have filed business interruption insurance claims and property damage claims related to down time from this incident. We collected $87 million in business interruption insurance recoveries that relate to down time from the incident, which were recorded as an offset to cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations. Of the $87 million collected, $32 million was recorded in 2011 and $55 million was recorded in 2010. We received $17 million to settle the property damage claim filed for this incident, which was recorded as a reduction to operating expense in our statements of consolidated operations. Of the $17 million, $5 million was recorded in 2011 and $12 million was recorded in 2010. As of December 31, 2012, all property damage claims have been settled but certain business interruption claims remain open.

Other Matters

In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory and other matters. Large, and sometimes unspecified, damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters. We have not established accruals for these matters unless a loss is probable, and the amount of loss is currently estimable. On the basis of existing information, we believe that the resolution of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our liquidity or financial position, although the resolution of certain of these matters could have a material impact on our interim or annual results of operations.

Legal

We are a defendant, along with other manufacturing, supply and marketing defendants, in two remaining lawsuits alleging methyl tertiary butyl ether (“MTBE”) contamination in groundwater. The defendants are being sued for having manufactured MTBE and having manufactured, supplied and distributed gasoline containing MTBE. The plaintiffs in the remaining cases, all in California, are municipalities and governmental authorities. The plaintiffs allege, in part, that the defendants are liable for manufacturing or distributing a defective product. The suits generally seek individual, unquantified compensatory and punitive damages and attorney’s fees. We intend to vigorously assert our defenses against these claims. While we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of these matters, we have established an accrual for them and believe that the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

During 2009, Chevron filed a lawsuit against us claiming they are entitled to a share of the refunds we received in 2008 from the owners of the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (“TAPS”). We received $50 million in 2008, net of contingent legal fees, for excessive intrastate rates charged by TAPS during 1997 through 2000, and the period of 2001 through June 2003. Chevron is asserting that it is entitled to a share of its portion of the refunds for retroactive price adjustments under our previous crude oil contracts with them. The trial court judge granted Chevron’s motion for summary judgment and awarded them $16 million, including interest, in September 2010. We disagree with the trial court and have appealed the decision to the Alaska Supreme Court in which the proceeding is now pending. We have established an accrual for this matter and its resolution will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Environmental

The EPA has alleged that we have violated certain Clean Air Act regulations at our Alaska, Washington, Martinez, Hawaii and Utah refineries. We are continuing discussions of the EPA’s claims with the EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”). We previously received a notice of violation (“NOV”) in March 2011 from the EPA alleging violations of Title V of the Clean Air Act at our Alaska refinery. The alleged violations in the NOV arise from a 2007 state of Alaska inspection and inspections by the EPA in 2008 and 2010. We also previously received NOVs in 2005 and 2008 alleging violations of the Clean Air Act at our Washington refinery. We are discussing all of these allegations with the EPA and DOJ. The ultimate resolution of these matters could require us to incur material capital expenditures and/or civil penalties. While we cannot currently estimate the amount or timing of the resolution of these matters, and currently believe that the outcome will not have a material impact on our liquidity or financial position, the ultimate resolution could have a material impact on our interim or annual results of operations.

The following table presents the fair value (in millions) of our derivative instruments as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The fair value amounts below are presented on a gross basis and do not reflect the netting of asset and liability positions permitted under the terms of our master netting arrangements including cash collateral on deposit with, or received from, brokers. We have elected to offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements when a legal right of offset exists. As a result, the asset and liability amounts below will not agree with the amounts presented in our consolidated balance sheet.

________________

(a) Fixed income assets represent securities primarily invested in corporate, government-related, mortgage and asset-backed debt obligations with a primary focus on long duration securities. Individual fixed income securities are typically priced on the basis of evaluated prices from independent pricing services. All fixed income securities are classified as level 2 investments.

(b) Mutual funds that invest primarily in domestic and international equity and fixed income securities. Fair values are based on market quotations from national securities exchanges. Absolute return and real return mutual funds consist of investments in mutual funds that invest in a broad set of asset classes designed to provide a target return regardless of market conditions or the potential for real returns in excess of U.S. inflation, respectively. The fixed income mutual fund consists of a fund which is part of a trust managed by a registered investment company. Fair value for the fixed income mutual fund reflects the net asset value per share as determined by the investment manager and derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities. Absolute and real return mutual funds and a U.S. equity mutual fund are categorized as level 1 investments and the fixed income mutual fund is categorized as a level 2 investment.

(c) Common/collective trust funds that invest in primarily equity and fixed income securities. Fair values reflect the net asset value per share, as determined by the investment manager and derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities. Common/collective trust funds are classified as level 2 investments.

(d) The short-term investment funds provide for safety of principal and daily liquidity and is valued using the net asset value per share. These assets are classified as level 2 investments.

(e) The limited partnership asset represents an interest in the Platte River Fund, L.P. (“Partnership”) which invests primarily in domestic equity securities that are considered undervalued. The Partnership may also invest in equity securities of American Depository Receipts or mutual funds. Fair value is based on the limited partner account balance comprised of all contributions and withdrawals made along with its interest in net income realized and unrealized by the Partnership. The limited partnership investment is classified as a level 2 investment.

(f) The categorization of the investments held at December 31, 2011 was presented to conform to current year presentation.

Schedule of Assumptions Used

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine benefit obligations and net periodic benefit expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

	Pension Benefits						Other Postretirement Benefits
	2012		2011		2010		2012		2011		2010
Projected benefit obligation:
Discount rate (a)	4.06	%	4.86	%	5.55	%	2.82	%	3.76	%	4.38	%
Rate of compensation increase	4.50	%	4.50	%	4.50	%	—		—		—
Net periodic benefit expense:
Discount rate (a)(b)	4.86	%	5.55	%	5.80	%	3.76	%	4.38	%	5.50	%
Rate of compensation increase	4.50	%	4.50	%	4.57	%	—		—		—
Expected long-term return on plan assets (c)	7.00	%	7.25	%	7.50	%	—		—		—

________________

(a) We determine the discount rate primarily by reference to the effective yields on high quality corporate bonds that have a comparable cash flow pattern to the expected payments to be made under our plans.

(b) As a result of the changes to other postretirement benefits during the second quarter of 2010, we remeasured our postretirement obligation as of June 30, 2010. The discount rate used to determine the net periodic benefit expense was 6.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and 4.64% for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

(c) The expected return on plan assets reflects the weighted-average of the expected long-term rates of return for the broad categories of investments held in the plans. The expected long-term rate of return is adjusted when there are fundamental changes in expected returns on the plan’s investments.

Schedule of Health Care Cost Trend Rates

The assumed health care cost trend rates used to determine the projected postretirement benefit obligation are as follows:

	2012		2011
Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year	7.90	%	8.00	%
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate)	4.80	%	4.80	%
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate	2024		2024

Schedule of Expected Benefit Payments

The following estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid for our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits in the years indicated (in millions):

	Pension Benefits		Other Postretirement Benefits
2013	$	55	$	10
2014	58		9

Tesoro Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in 1968. Based in San Antonio, Texas, we are one of the largest independent petroleum refiners and marketers in the United States. Our subsidiaries, operating through two business segments, primarily manufacture and sell transportation fuels. Our refining operating segment (“Refining”), which operates seven refineries in the western United States, refines crude oil and other feedstocks into transportation fuels, such as gasoline and gasoline blendstocks, jet fuel and diesel fuel, as well as other products, including heavy fuel oils, liquefied petroleum gas, petroleum coke and asphalt. Our refineries have a combined crude oil capacity of 675 thousand barrels per day (“Mbpd”). This operating segment sells refined products in wholesale and bulk markets to a wide variety of customers within the operations area. Our retail operating segment (“Retail”) sells transportation fuels and convenience products in 18 states through a network of 1,402 retail stations, primarily under the Tesoro^®, Shell^®, and USA Gasoline™ brands.

Our earnings, cash flows from operations and liquidity depend upon many factors, including producing and selling refined products at margins above fixed and variable expenses. The prices of crude oil and refined products have fluctuated substantially in our markets. Our operations are significantly influenced by the timing of changes in crude oil costs and how quickly refined product prices adjust to reflect these changes. These price fluctuations depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the global supply and demand for crude oil and refined products, which are subject to, among other things, changes in the global economy and the level of foreign and domestic production of crude oil and refined products, geo-political conditions, availability of crude oil and refined product imports, the infrastructure to transport crude oil and refined products, weather conditions, earthquakes and other natural disasters, seasonal variations, government regulations, threatened or actual terrorist incidents or acts of war, and local factors, including market conditions and the level of operations of other suppliers in our markets. As a result of these factors, margin fluctuations during any reporting period can have a significant impact on our results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and financial position.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tesoro and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. We have evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-K. Any material subsequent events that occurred during this time have been properly recognized or disclosed in our financial statements.

Our consolidated financial statements include TLLP, a variable interest entity. As the general partner of TLLP, we have the sole ability to direct the activities of TLLP that most significantly impact its economic performance. We are also considered to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes and are TLLP’s primary customer. Under our long-term transportation agreements with TLLP (discussed further below), transactions with us accounted for 91% and 89% of TLLP’s total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As TLLP does not derive a significant amount of revenue from third parties, there is limited risk to Tesoro associated with TLLP’s operations. However, in the event TLLP incurs a loss, our operating results will reflect TLLP’s loss, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in TLLP.

Use of Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis, based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include bank deposits and low-risk short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. We place our cash deposits and temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

Receivables

Our receivables primarily consist of customer accounts receivable, including proprietary credit card receivables. Credit is extended based on an ongoing evaluation of our customers’ financial condition and other factors. In certain circumstances, we require prepayments, letters of credit, guarantees, or other forms of collateral. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by the large number of customers comprising our customer base and their dispersion across various industry groups and geographic areas of operations. Our reserve for bad debts is based on numerous factors including current sales amounts, historical charge-offs and specific accounts identified as high risk. Uncollectible accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when reasonable efforts to collect the amounts due have been exhausted.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate fair value primarily because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. We estimate the fair value for our debt using quoted market prices.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We use last-in, first-out as the primary method to determine the cost of crude oil held by our U.S. subsidiaries and refined product inventories in our refining and retail segments. We determine the carrying value of inventories of crude oil held by our foreign subsidiaries, oxygenates and by-products using the first-in, first-out cost method. We value merchandise along with materials and supplies at average cost.

We use commodity derivatives to manage price volatility associated with our crude oil and product inventories. We designated certain commodity derivatives as fair value hedges for accounting purposes during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. There were no commodity derivatives designated as fair value hedges during the year ended December 31, 2012. For derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges, subsequent changes in fair value of the designated hedged inventory are recorded in inventory on our consolidated balance sheets and in cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations.

Property, Plant and Equipment

We capitalize the cost of additions, major improvements and modifications to property, plant and equipment (“Property Assets”). The cost of repairs to, and normal maintenance of, Property Assets is expensed as incurred. Major improvements and modifications of Property Assets are those expenditures that either extend the useful life, increase the capacity or improve the operating efficiency of the asset, or improve the safety of our operations. The cost of Property Assets constructed includes interest and certain overhead costs allocable to the construction activities.

Our operations, especially those of our refining segment, are highly capital intensive. Each of our refineries is comprised of a large base of Property Assets, consisting of a series of interconnected, highly integrated and interdependent crude oil processing facilities and supporting logistical infrastructure (units), and these units are regularly improved. We plan for these improvements by developing a multi-year capital program that is updated and revised based on changing internal and external factors.

We compute depreciation of property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful life of each asset. The useful lives range from six to 28 years for refining, seven to 16 years for retail, and three to 25 years for corporate assets. We record property under capital leases at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate or the fair value of the leased property at the date of lease inception. We depreciate leasehold improvements and property acquired under capital leases over the lesser of the lease term or the economic life of the asset. Depreciation expense totaled $295 million, $262 million and $266 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We capitalize interest as part of the cost of major projects during the construction period. Capitalized interest totaled $17 million, $14 million and $19 million during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and is recorded as a reduction to net interest and financing costs in our statements of consolidated operations.

Asset Retirement Obligations

An asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) is an estimated liability for the cost to retire a tangible asset. We record AROs at fair value in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. AROs are calculated based on the present value of the estimated removal and other closure costs using our credit-adjusted risk-free rate. When the liability is initially recorded, we capitalize the cost by increasing the book value of the related long-lived tangible asset. The liability is accreted to its estimated settlement value and the related capitalized cost is depreciated over the asset’s useful life. We recognize a gain or loss at settlement for any difference between the settlement amount and the recorded liability, which is recorded in loss on asset disposals and impairments in our statements of consolidated operations. We estimate settlement dates by considering our past practice, industry practice, management’s intent and estimated economic lives.

We cannot currently estimate the fair value for certain AROs primarily because we cannot estimate settlement dates (or range of dates) associated with these assets. These AROs include:

• hazardous materials disposal (such as petroleum manufacturing by-products, chemical catalysts, and sealed insulation material containing asbestos), and removal or dismantlement requirements associated with the closure of our refining facilities, terminal facilities or pipelines, including the demolition or removal of certain major processing units, buildings, tanks, pipelines or other equipment; and

• removal of underground storage tanks at our owned retail stations at or near the time of closure.

We have not historically incurred significant AROs for hazardous materials disposal or other removal costs associated with asset retirements or replacements during scheduled maintenance projects. We believe that the majority of our tangible assets have indeterminate useful lives. This precludes development of assumptions about the potential timing of settlement dates based on the following:

• there are no plans or expectations of plans to retire or dispose of these assets;

• we plan on extending the assets’ estimated economic lives through scheduled maintenance projects at our refineries and other normal repair and maintenance and by continuing to make improvements based on technological advances;

• we have rarely retired similar assets in the past; and

• industry practice for similar assets has historically been to extend the economic lives through regular repair and maintenance and implementation of technological advances.

Environmental Matters

We capitalize environmental expenditures that extend the life or increase the capacity of facilities as well as expenditures that prevent environmental contamination. We expense costs that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation. We record liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Cost estimates are based on the expected timing and extent of remedial actions required by governing agencies, experience gained from similar sites for which environmental assessments or remediation have been completed and the amount of our anticipated liability considering the proportional liability and financial abilities of other responsible parties. Usually, the timing of these accruals coincides with the completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action. Estimated liabilities are not discounted to present value and environmental expenses are recorded primarily in operating expenses in our statements of consolidated operations.

Legal Liabilities

In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations. These matters may involve large or unspecified damages or penalties that may be sought from us and may require years to resolve. We record a liability related to a loss contingency attributable to such legal matters in accrued liabilities or other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet, depending on the classification as current or noncurrent if we determine the loss to be both probable and estimable. The liability is recorded for an amount that is management’s best estimate of the loss, or when a best estimate cannot be made, the minimum loss amount of a range of possible outcomes.

Goodwill and Acquired Intangibles

Goodwill represents the amount the purchase price exceeds the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. We do not amortize goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. We are required, however, to review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in business circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. In such circumstances, we record the impairment in loss on asset disposals and impairments in our statements of consolidated operations. We review the recorded value of goodwill for impairment on November 1st of each year, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may exceed fair value. Our annual test for goodwill impairment involves a qualitative assessment performed at the reporting unit level. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of liquor licenses for certain of our retail stations and are immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.

Acquired intangibles are recorded at fair value as of the date acquired and consist primarily of air emission credits, customer agreements and contracts and the USA Gasoline trade name. We amortize acquired intangibles with finite lives on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of three to 31 years, and we include the amortization in depreciation and amortization expense in our statements of consolidated operations.

Other Assets

We defer turnaround costs and the costs of certain catalysts used in the refinery processing units that have a benefit period that exceeds one year and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over the expected periods of benefit, ranging from two to ten years. Turnaround expenditures are amortized over the period of time until the next planned turnaround of the processing unit. Amortization for these deferred charges, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in our statements of consolidated operations, amounted to $138 million, $137 million and $138 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We defer debt issuance costs related to our credit agreements and senior notes and amortize the costs over the terms of each instrument. Amortization of deferred issuance costs, which is included in net interest and financing costs in our statements of consolidated operations totaled $11 million, $13 million and $9 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We reassess the carrying value of debt issuance costs when modifications are made to the related debt instruments.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review Property Assets and other long-lived assets, including acquired intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the net book values of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment is indicated when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ net book value. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and net book value. Factors that indicate potential impairment include: a significant decrease in the market value of the asset, operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the asset and a significant change in the asset’s physical condition or use.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues upon delivery of goods or services to a customer. For goods, this is the point at which title is transferred and when payment has either been received or collection is reasonably assured. Revenues for services are recorded when the services have been provided. We record certain transactions in cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations on a net basis. These transactions include nonmonetary crude oil and refined product exchange transactions used to optimize our refinery supply, and sale and purchase transactions entered into with the same counterparty that are deemed to be in contemplation with one another. We include transportation fees charged to customers in revenues in our statements of consolidated operations, while the related costs are included in cost of sales or operating expenses.

Federal excise and state motor fuel taxes, which are remitted to governmental agencies through our refining segment and collected from customers in our retail segment, are included in both revenues and cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations. These taxes, excluding credits, were primarily related to sales of gasoline and diesel fuel and totaled $490 million, $376 million and $330 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes

We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for future income tax consequences that are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their income tax bases. We base the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities on enacted tax rates that we expect will apply to taxable income in the year we expect to settle or recover those temporary differences. We recognize the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of any change in income tax rates in the period that includes the enactment date. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that those items will either expire before we are able to realize their benefit or their future deductibility is uncertain. We recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. Tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, that are not recognized, are generally recorded as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

We recognize separately the overfunded or underfunded status of our pension and other postretirement plans as an asset or liability. A change in the funded status of our defined benefit retirement plan is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period the change occurs. The funded status represents the difference between the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets. The projected benefit obligation is the present value of benefits earned to date by plan participants, including the effect of assumed future salary increases. Plan assets are measured at fair value. We use a December 31^st measurement date for plan assets and obligations for all of our plans.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation includes stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance share awards, market stock units, stock options, restricted common stock, restricted stock units, performance units and phantom stock options. We estimate the fair value of certain stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of our performance share awards based on performance conditions, market stock units, restricted common stock awards and restricted stock units, are equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair values of our SARs, performance share awards based on market conditions, phantom stock options and performance units are estimated at the end of each reporting period. We have recorded liabilities related to our SARs and performance units. We primarily amortize the fair value of our SARs, performance share awards, market stock units, restricted common stock, performance units, stock options and restricted stock units using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Subsequent to the vesting date, the liability for outstanding SARs is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Expenses related to stock-based compensation are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our statements of consolidated operations.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of feedstocks, products and energy supplies to or from our refineries, terminals, retail operations and customers. We also use non-trading derivative instruments to manage price risks associated with inventories above or below our target levels. These derivative instruments typically include exchange-traded futures and over-the-counter swaps and options, with durations of less than two years. Our positions are monitored daily by our trading controls group to ensure compliance with our risk management policies.

When we acquire a derivative instrument, it is designated as a mark-to-market derivative or a fair value hedge derivative. We mark-to-market our derivative instruments and recognize the changes in their fair values, realized or unrealized, in either revenues or cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations, depending on the purpose for acquiring and holding the derivatives. For instruments that are not designated as fair value hedges, we do not record a change in the value of the related underlying physical commodity. The gain or loss on derivative instruments designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item, are recognized in income in the same period. We use fair value hedges for certain foreign subsidiary crude oil inventories.

All derivatives are recorded and carried at fair value in receivables, other current assets or accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets. The changes in fair value of the designated hedged inventory for fair value hedge derivatives have been recorded in inventories on the consolidated balance sheets. Margin deposits represent cash collateral paid between our counterparties and us to support our commodity contracts. We net our asset and liability positions associated with multiple derivative instruments that are executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements.

We apply hedge accounting when transactions meet specified criteria for such treatment and may designate a derivative as a fair value hedging instrument for accounting purposes to hedge certain foreign subsidiary crude oil inventories. The hedged inventory is valued at current spot market prices whereas the financial derivative is valued using forward commodity prices. Changes in the difference between forward and spot prices are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations until the commodity is sold and the related financial derivative is settled. A hedge is regarded as highly effective and qualifies for hedge accounting if it is expected at its inception and throughout the term of the contract that changes in the fair value of the hedged item are almost fully offset by the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument.

We discontinue hedge accounting when we determine that the derivative has ceased to be highly effective as a hedge; when the derivative expires, or is sold, terminated, or exercised; when the hedged item is sold; or when a forecasted transaction is no longer deemed probable. Any ineffectiveness is recorded in the statements of consolidated operations during the period in which the derivative instrument is deemed ineffective.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We compute basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Tesoro Corporation stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share include the effects of potentially dilutive shares, principally consisting of common stock options and unvested restricted stock, restricted stock units, market stock units and performance share awards outstanding during the period. Additionally, for the diluted earnings per share computation, net earnings (loss) attributable to Tesoro Corporation is reduced, where applicable, for the decrease in earnings from Tesoro’s limited partner unit ownership in TLLP that would have resulted assuming the incremental units related to TLLP’s equity incentive plans had been issued during the respective periods.

Foreign Currency Exchange

The functional currency for our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The translation of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars is computed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using weighted-average exchange rates during the period. We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions related to our Canadian operations. We use foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts to manage our exposure to these exchange rate fluctuations. Amounts related to these contracts are recorded in net interest and financing costs in our statements of consolidated operations.

New Accounting Standards and Disclosures

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Testing

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) in July 2012 related to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. This ASU provides the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If the company believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The company can choose to assess qualitative factors on none, some or all of its indefinite-lived intangible assets. The standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. However, an entity can choose to early adopt the standard, provided that the entity has not yet performed its 2012 annual impairment test or issued its financial statements. Our indefinite lived intangible assets are immaterial to our consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

The FASB issued an ASU in June 2011, regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. This ASU eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, thecompany must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, which contains two sections, net income and OCI, or in two separate but consecutive statements. We adopted these presentation requirements and are presenting components of OCI in two consecutive statements.

Additionally, the FASB issued an ASU in February 2013 that provides entities the option of presenting information related to reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements or in the notes to the financial statements for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in the statement where those components are presented. The requirements from the new ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of these requirements will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

The FASB issued an ASU in December 2011, which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of these arrangements on its financial position. The guidance requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In January 2013, the FASB amended and clarified the scope of the disclosures to include only derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions. The provisions for this ASU are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, but may result in additional disclosures.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Separate condensed consolidating financial information of Tesoro Corporation (the “Parent”), subsidiary guarantors and non-guarantors are presented below. As noted in Note M, we redeemed all of our outstanding $299 million6.250% Senior Notes due November 2012 and satisfied our obligations on our 6.625% Senior Notes due 2015and 6.500% Senior Notes due 2017, thereby releasing the guarantors of these notes’ guarantees. At December 31, 2012, Tesoro and certain subsidiary guarantors have fully and unconditionally guaranteed our 4.250% Senior Notes due 2017, 9.750% Senior Notes due 2019 and 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022. TLLP, in which we had a 47% ownership interest as of December 31, 2012, and other subsidiaries have not guaranteed these obligations. As a result of these guarantee arrangements, we are required to present the following condensed consolidating financial information, which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The following condensed consolidating financial information is provided as an alternative to providing separate financial statements for guarantor subsidiaries. Separate financial statements of Tesoro’s subsidiary guarantors are not included because the guarantees are full and unconditional and these subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned and jointly and severally liable for Tesoro’s outstanding senior notes. The information is presented using the equity method of accounting for investments in subsidiaries.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

OPERATING SEGMENTS

OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company’s revenues are derived from two operating segments, refining and retail. We own and operate seven petroleum refineries located in California, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota and Utah. These refineries manufacture gasoline and gasoline blendstocks, jet fuel, diesel fuel, residual fuel oil and other refined products. We sell these refined products, together with refined products purchased from third parties, at wholesale through terminal facilities and other locations. Our refining segment also sells refined products to unbranded marketers and opportunistically exports refined products to foreign markets. Our retail segment sells gasoline, diesel fuel and convenience store items through company-operated retail stations and branded jobber/dealers in 18 states. We do not have significant operations in foreign countries. Therefore, revenue generated and long-lived assets located in foreign countries are not material to our operations.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on segment operating income. Segment operating income includes those revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to management of the respective segment. Intersegment sales from refining to retail are made at prevailing market rates. Income taxes, other income (expense), net, interest and financing costs, net, corporate depreciation and corporate general and administrative expenses are excluded from segment operating income. Identifiable assets are those used by the segments, whereas corporate assets are principally cash and other assets that are not associated with a specific operating segment.

Segment information is as follows:

________________

(a) We have the option to elect if borrowings will bear interest at either a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable period, plus, the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin varies based upon our Revolving Credit Facility’s credit ratings. Letters of credit outstanding under the Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility incur fees at the Eurodollar margin rate. We also incur commitment fees for the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate.

(b) TLLP has the option to elect if borrowings bear interest at either a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable period, plus, the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin varies based upon a certain leverage ratio, as defined by the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility. TLLP incurs commitment fees for the unused portion of the TLLP Revolving Credit at an annual rate. In January 2013, TLLP amended this facility which among other things, decreases the borrowing rates under this facility. See additional information under TLLP Revolving Credit Facility below.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Dec. 31, 2012

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation, Consolidation Policy

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tesoro and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. We have evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-K. Any material subsequent events that occurred during this time have been properly recognized or disclosed in our financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation, VIE

Our consolidated financial statements include TLLP, a variable interest entity. As the general partner of TLLP, we have the sole ability to direct the activities of TLLP that most significantly impact its economic performance. We are also considered to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes and are TLLP’s primary customer. Under our long-term transportation agreements with TLLP (discussed further below), transactions with us accounted for 91% and 89% of TLLP’s total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As TLLP does not derive a significant amount of revenue from third parties, there is limited risk to Tesoro associated with TLLP’s operations. However, in the event TLLP incurs a loss, our operating results will reflect TLLP’s loss, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in TLLP.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis, based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include bank deposits and low-risk short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. We place our cash deposits and temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

Receivables

Receivables

Our receivables primarily consist of customer accounts receivable, including proprietary credit card receivables. Credit is extended based on an ongoing evaluation of our customers’ financial condition and other factors. In certain circumstances, we require prepayments, letters of credit, guarantees, or other forms of collateral. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by the large number of customers comprising our customer base and their dispersion across various industry groups and geographic areas of operations. Our reserve for bad debts is based on numerous factors including current sales amounts, historical charge-offs and specific accounts identified as high risk. Uncollectible accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when reasonable efforts to collect the amounts due have been exhausted.

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate fair value primarily because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. We estimate the fair value for our debt using quoted market prices.

We classify financial assets and financial liabilities into the following fair value hierarchy:

• level 1 - valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

• level 2 - valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

• level 3 - valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

We measure fair value using level 1 inputs, when available, because they provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. Derivative instruments and our Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) are our only financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We did not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as level 3 at December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We use last-in, first-out as the primary method to determine the cost of crude oil held by our U.S. subsidiaries and refined product inventories in our refining and retail segments. We determine the carrying value of inventories of crude oil held by our foreign subsidiaries, oxygenates and by-products using the first-in, first-out cost method. We value merchandise along with materials and supplies at average cost.

We use commodity derivatives to manage price volatility associated with our crude oil and product inventories. We designated certain commodity derivatives as fair value hedges for accounting purposes during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. There were no commodity derivatives designated as fair value hedges during the year ended December 31, 2012. For derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges, subsequent changes in fair value of the designated hedged inventory are recorded in inventory on our consolidated balance sheets and in cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment

We capitalize the cost of additions, major improvements and modifications to property, plant and equipment (“Property Assets”). The cost of repairs to, and normal maintenance of, Property Assets is expensed as incurred. Major improvements and modifications of Property Assets are those expenditures that either extend the useful life, increase the capacity or improve the operating efficiency of the asset, or improve the safety of our operations. The cost of Property Assets constructed includes interest and certain overhead costs allocable to the construction activities.

Our operations, especially those of our refining segment, are highly capital intensive. Each of our refineries is comprised of a large base of Property Assets, consisting of a series of interconnected, highly integrated and interdependent crude oil processing facilities and supporting logistical infrastructure (units), and these units are regularly improved. We plan for these improvements by developing a multi-year capital program that is updated and revised based on changing internal and external factors.

We compute depreciation of property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful life of each asset. The useful lives range from six to 28 years for refining, seven to 16 years for retail, and three to 25 years for corporate assets. We record property under capital leases at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate or the fair value of the leased property at the date of lease inception. We depreciate leasehold improvements and property acquired under capital leases over the lesser of the lease term or the economic life of the asset. Depreciation expense totaled $295 million, $262 million and $266 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We capitalize interest as part of the cost of major projects during the construction period. Capitalized interest totaled $17 million, $14 million and $19 million during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and is recorded as a reduction to net interest and financing costs in our statements of consolidated operations.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset Retirement Obligations

An asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) is an estimated liability for the cost to retire a tangible asset. We record AROs at fair value in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. AROs are calculated based on the present value of the estimated removal and other closure costs using our credit-adjusted risk-free rate. When the liability is initially recorded, we capitalize the cost by increasing the book value of the related long-lived tangible asset. The liability is accreted to its estimated settlement value and the related capitalized cost is depreciated over the asset’s useful life. We recognize a gain or loss at settlement for any difference between the settlement amount and the recorded liability, which is recorded in loss on asset disposals and impairments in our statements of consolidated operations. We estimate settlement dates by considering our past practice, industry practice, management’s intent and estimated economic lives.

We cannot currently estimate the fair value for certain AROs primarily because we cannot estimate settlement dates (or range of dates) associated with these assets. These AROs include:

• hazardous materials disposal (such as petroleum manufacturing by-products, chemical catalysts, and sealed insulation material containing asbestos), and removal or dismantlement requirements associated with the closure of our refining facilities, terminal facilities or pipelines, including the demolition or removal of certain major processing units, buildings, tanks, pipelines or other equipment; and

• removal of underground storage tanks at our owned retail stations at or near the time of closure.

We have not historically incurred significant AROs for hazardous materials disposal or other removal costs associated with asset retirements or replacements during scheduled maintenance projects. We believe that the majority of our tangible assets have indeterminate useful lives. This precludes development of assumptions about the potential timing of settlement dates based on the following:

• there are no plans or expectations of plans to retire or dispose of these assets;

• we plan on extending the assets’ estimated economic lives through scheduled maintenance projects at our refineries and other normal repair and maintenance and by continuing to make improvements based on technological advances;

• we have rarely retired similar assets in the past; and

• industry practice for similar assets has historically been to extend the economic lives through regular repair and maintenance and implementation of technological advances.

Environmental Matters

Environmental Matters

We capitalize environmental expenditures that extend the life or increase the capacity of facilities as well as expenditures that prevent environmental contamination. We expense costs that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation. We record liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Cost estimates are based on the expected timing and extent of remedial actions required by governing agencies, experience gained from similar sites for which environmental assessments or remediation have been completed and the amount of our anticipated liability considering the proportional liability and financial abilities of other responsible parties. Usually, the timing of these accruals coincides with the completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action. Estimated liabilities are not discounted to present value and environmental expenses are recorded primarily in operating expenses in our statements of consolidated operations.

Legal Liabilities

Legal Liabilities

In the ordinary course of business, we become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations. These matters may involve large or unspecified damages or penalties that may be sought from us and may require years to resolve. We record a liability related to a loss contingency attributable to such legal matters in accrued liabilities or other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet, depending on the classification as current or noncurrent if we determine the loss to be both probable and estimable. The liability is recorded for an amount that is management’s best estimate of the loss, or when a best estimate cannot be made, the minimum loss amount of a range of possible outcomes.

Goodwill and Acquired Intangibles

Goodwill and Acquired Intangibles

Goodwill represents the amount the purchase price exceeds the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. We do not amortize goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. We are required, however, to review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in business circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. In such circumstances, we record the impairment in loss on asset disposals and impairments in our statements of consolidated operations. We review the recorded value of goodwill for impairment on November 1st of each year, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may exceed fair value. Our annual test for goodwill impairment involves a qualitative assessment performed at the reporting unit level. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of liquor licenses for certain of our retail stations and are immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.

Acquired intangibles are recorded at fair value as of the date acquired and consist primarily of air emission credits, customer agreements and contracts and the USA Gasoline trade name. We amortize acquired intangibles with finite lives on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of three to 31 years, and we include the amortization in depreciation and amortization expense in our statements of consolidated operations.

Other Assets

Other Assets

We defer turnaround costs and the costs of certain catalysts used in the refinery processing units that have a benefit period that exceeds one year and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over the expected periods of benefit, ranging from two to ten years. Turnaround expenditures are amortized over the period of time until the next planned turnaround of the processing unit. Amortization for these deferred charges, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in our statements of consolidated operations, amounted to $138 million, $137 million and $138 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We defer debt issuance costs related to our credit agreements and senior notes and amortize the costs over the terms of each instrument. Amortization of deferred issuance costs, which is included in net interest and financing costs in our statements of consolidated operations totaled $11 million, $13 million and $9 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We reassess the carrying value of debt issuance costs when modifications are made to the related debt instruments.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review Property Assets and other long-lived assets, including acquired intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the net book values of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment is indicated when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ net book value. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and net book value. Factors that indicate potential impairment include: a significant decrease in the market value of the asset, operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the asset and a significant change in the asset’s physical condition or use.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues upon delivery of goods or services to a customer. For goods, this is the point at which title is transferred and when payment has either been received or collection is reasonably assured. Revenues for services are recorded when the services have been provided. We record certain transactions in cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations on a net basis. These transactions include nonmonetary crude oil and refined product exchange transactions used to optimize our refinery supply, and sale and purchase transactions entered into with the same counterparty that are deemed to be in contemplation with one another. We include transportation fees charged to customers in revenues in our statements of consolidated operations, while the related costs are included in cost of sales or operating expenses.

Federal excise and state motor fuel taxes, which are remitted to governmental agencies through our refining segment and collected from customers in our retail segment, are included in both revenues and cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations. These taxes, excluding credits, were primarily related to sales of gasoline and diesel fuel and totaled $490 million, $376 million and $330 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for future income tax consequences that are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their income tax bases. We base the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities on enacted tax rates that we expect will apply to taxable income in the year we expect to settle or recover those temporary differences. We recognize the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of any change in income tax rates in the period that includes the enactment date. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that those items will either expire before we are able to realize their benefit or their future deductibility is uncertain. We recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. Tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, that are not recognized, are generally recorded as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

We recognize separately the overfunded or underfunded status of our pension and other postretirement plans as an asset or liability. A change in the funded status of our defined benefit retirement plan is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period the change occurs. The funded status represents the difference between the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets. The projected benefit obligation is the present value of benefits earned to date by plan participants, including the effect of assumed future salary increases. Plan assets are measured at fair value. We use a December 31^st measurement date for plan assets and obligations for all of our plans.

Share-based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation includes stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance share awards, market stock units, stock options, restricted common stock, restricted stock units, performance units and phantom stock options. We estimate the fair value of certain stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of our performance share awards based on performance conditions, market stock units, restricted common stock awards and restricted stock units, are equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair values of our SARs, performance share awards based on market conditions, phantom stock options and performance units are estimated at the end of each reporting period. We have recorded liabilities related to our SARs and performance units. We primarily amortize the fair value of our SARs, performance share awards, market stock units, restricted common stock, performance units, stock options and restricted stock units using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Subsequent to the vesting date, the liability for outstanding SARs is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Expenses related to stock-based compensation are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our statements of consolidated operations.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of feedstocks, products and energy supplies to or from our refineries, terminals, retail operations and customers. We also use non-trading derivative instruments to manage price risks associated with inventories above or below our target levels. These derivative instruments typically include exchange-traded futures and over-the-counter swaps and options, with durations of less than two years. Our positions are monitored daily by our trading controls group to ensure compliance with our risk management policies.

When we acquire a derivative instrument, it is designated as a mark-to-market derivative or a fair value hedge derivative. We mark-to-market our derivative instruments and recognize the changes in their fair values, realized or unrealized, in either revenues or cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations, depending on the purpose for acquiring and holding the derivatives. For instruments that are not designated as fair value hedges, we do not record a change in the value of the related underlying physical commodity. The gain or loss on derivative instruments designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item, are recognized in income in the same period. We use fair value hedges for certain foreign subsidiary crude oil inventories.

All derivatives are recorded and carried at fair value in receivables, other current assets or accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets. The changes in fair value of the designated hedged inventory for fair value hedge derivatives have been recorded in inventories on the consolidated balance sheets. Margin deposits represent cash collateral paid between our counterparties and us to support our commodity contracts. We net our asset and liability positions associated with multiple derivative instruments that are executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements.

We apply hedge accounting when transactions meet specified criteria for such treatment and may designate a derivative as a fair value hedging instrument for accounting purposes to hedge certain foreign subsidiary crude oil inventories. The hedged inventory is valued at current spot market prices whereas the financial derivative is valued using forward commodity prices. Changes in the difference between forward and spot prices are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations until the commodity is sold and the related financial derivative is settled. A hedge is regarded as highly effective and qualifies for hedge accounting if it is expected at its inception and throughout the term of the contract that changes in the fair value of the hedged item are almost fully offset by the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument.

We discontinue hedge accounting when we determine that the derivative has ceased to be highly effective as a hedge; when the derivative expires, or is sold, terminated, or exercised; when the hedged item is sold; or when a forecasted transaction is no longer deemed probable. Any ineffectiveness is recorded in the statements of consolidated operations during the period in which the derivative instrument is deemed ineffective.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of a commodity derivative depends on whether the derivative has been designated in a hedging relationship and whether we have elected the normal purchases and normal sales exception. The accounting for the change in fair value can be summarized as follows:

Derivative Treatment	Accounting Method
Normal purchases and normal sales exception	Accrual accounting
Designated in qualifying hedging relationship	Hedge accounting
All other derivatives	Mark-to-market accounting

Earnings (Loss) Per Share, Policy

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We compute basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Tesoro Corporation stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share include the effects of potentially dilutive shares, principally consisting of common stock options and unvested restricted stock, restricted stock units, market stock units and performance share awards outstanding during the period. Additionally, for the diluted earnings per share computation, net earnings (loss) attributable to Tesoro Corporation is reduced, where applicable, for the decrease in earnings from Tesoro’s limited partner unit ownership in TLLP that would have resulted assuming the incremental units related to TLLP’s equity incentive plans had been issued during the respective periods.

Foreign Currency Exchange

Foreign Currency Exchange

The functional currency for our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The translation of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars is computed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using weighted-average exchange rates during the period. We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions related to our Canadian operations. We use foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts to manage our exposure to these exchange rate fluctuations. Amounts related to these contracts are recorded in net interest and financing costs in our statements of consolidated operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy

New Accounting Standards and Disclosures

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Testing

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) in July 2012 related to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. This ASU provides the option to assess qualitative factors first to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If the company believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The company can choose to assess qualitative factors on none, some or all of its indefinite-lived intangible assets. The standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. However, an entity can choose to early adopt the standard, provided that the entity has not yet performed its 2012 annual impairment test or issued its financial statements. Our indefinite lived intangible assets are immaterial to our consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

The FASB issued an ASU in June 2011, regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. This ASU eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, thecompany must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, which contains two sections, net income and OCI, or in two separate but consecutive statements. We adopted these presentation requirements and are presenting components of OCI in two consecutive statements.

Additionally, the FASB issued an ASU in February 2013 that provides entities the option of presenting information related to reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements or in the notes to the financial statements for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in the statement where those components are presented. The requirements from the new ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of these requirements will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

The FASB issued an ASU in December 2011, which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of these arrangements on its financial position. The guidance requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In January 2013, the FASB amended and clarified the scope of the disclosures to include only derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions. The provisions for this ASU are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, but may result in additional disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements (Policies)

Dec. 31, 2012

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate fair value primarily because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. We estimate the fair value for our debt using quoted market prices.

We classify financial assets and financial liabilities into the following fair value hierarchy:

• level 1 - valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

• level 2 - valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

• level 3 - valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

We measure fair value using level 1 inputs, when available, because they provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. Derivative instruments and our Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) are our only financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We did not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as level 3 at December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans Disclosures [Abstract]

BENEFIT PLANS

BENEFIT PLANS

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

We sponsor four defined benefit pension plans, including one qualified plan and three nonqualified plans, which are described below.

• The funded qualified employee retirement plan provides benefits to all eligible employees. Benefits are determined based on final average salary and years of service through December 31, 2011, and a cash balance account based formula for service beginning January 1, 2012. Although our funded employee retirement plan fully meets all of the funding requirements under applicable laws and regulations, we contributed $48 million each year during 2012 and 2011 to improve the plan’s funded status.

• The unfunded nonqualified restoration retirement plan provides for the restoration of retirement benefits to certain senior level employees that are not provided under the qualified retirement plan due to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.

• The unfunded nonqualified executive security plan provides certain executive officers and other key personnel with supplemental pension benefits. These benefits are provided by a nonqualified, noncontributory plan and are based on years of service and compensation. We made payments of $2 million and $11 million during 2012 and 2011, respectively, for current retiree obligations under the plan.

• The unfunded nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan provides eligible senior level executives a supplemental pension benefit in excess of those earned under the qualified retirement plan. This plan was approved and adopted by the Compensation Committee on January 12, 2011.

Tesoro provides health care benefits to retirees who met certain service requirements and were participating in our group health insurance program at retirement. In addition, Tesoro sponsors two 401(k) plans, the thrift plan and the retail savings plan, both of which provide for eligible employees to make contributions, subject to certain limitations, into designated investment funds with a matching contribution by Tesoro.

Investment Policies and Strategies

Our funded qualified retirement plan assets are invested using a total return investment approach (including dividends, interest, and realized and unrealized capital appreciation) whereby a mix of equity securities, fixed income securities and other investments are used to preserve asset values, diversify risk and achieve our target investment return. Plan assets are managed in a diversified portfolio comprised of two primary components: an equity portion and a fixed income portion. The expected role of the plan’s equity investments is to maximize the long-term real growth of plan assets, while the role of fixed income investments is to generate current income, lower funded status volatility, provide for more stable periodic returns and provide protection against a prolonged decline in the equity markets. Investment strategies and asset allocation decisions are based on careful consideration of risk tolerance, plan liabilities, the plan’s funded status and our financial condition.

Our target allocation is as follows: 50% long duration fixed income, 30% equity and 20% other investments comprised primarily of assets which provide protection in inflationary periods and investments which target a return regardless of market conditions.

Fair Value of Plan Assets

We classify our plan assets into three fair value classifications or levels. Our level 1 investments include equity, fixed income and other mutual funds, which are based on market quotations from national securities exchanges. Level 2 investments include short-term investment funds, equity and fixed income common/collective trust funds, which are valued at the net asset value of the fund as determined by the fund manager along with individual fixed income securities valued on the basis of evaluated prices from independent pricing services. When market prices are not readily available, the determination of fair value may rely on factors such as significant market activity or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets. We did not hold any level 3 assets in our investments as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. We do not believe that there are any significant concentrations of risk within our plan assets.

The tables below present information about the retirement plan’s major asset categories measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the three levels described above as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in millions):

Asset Category	December 31, 2012		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Fixed income (a)	$	152	$	—	$	152	$	—
Mutual funds (b)	128		94		34		—
Common/collective trust funds (c)	84		—		84		—
Short-term investment funds (d)	12		—		12		—
Limited partnership (e)	14		—		14		—
Total	$	390	$	94	$	296	$	—

Asset Category (f)	December 31, 2011		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Fixed income (a)	$	155	$	—	$	155	$	—

Total	$	343	$	75	$	268	$	—

________________

(a) Fixed income assets represent securities primarily invested in corporate, government-related, mortgage and asset-backed debt obligations with a primary focus on long duration securities. Individual fixed income securities are typically priced on the basis of evaluated prices from independent pricing services. All fixed income securities are classified as level 2 investments.

(b) Mutual funds that invest primarily in domestic and international equity and fixed income securities. Fair values are based on market quotations from national securities exchanges. Absolute return and real return mutual funds consist of investments in mutual funds that invest in a broad set of asset classes designed to provide a target return regardless of market conditions or the potential for real returns in excess of U.S. inflation, respectively. The fixed income mutual fund consists of a fund which is part of a trust managed by a registered investment company. Fair value for the fixed income mutual fund reflects the net asset value per share as determined by the investment manager and derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities. Absolute and real return mutual funds and a U.S. equity mutual fund are categorized as level 1 investments and the fixed income mutual fund is categorized as a level 2 investment.

(c) Common/collective trust funds that invest in primarily equity and fixed income securities. Fair values reflect the net asset value per share, as determined by the investment manager and derived from the quoted prices in active markets of the underlying securities. Common/collective trust funds are classified as level 2 investments.

(d) The short-term investment funds provide for safety of principal and daily liquidity and is valued using the net asset value per share. These assets are classified as level 2 investments.

(e) The limited partnership asset represents an interest in the Platte River Fund, L.P. (“Partnership”) which invests primarily in domestic equity securities that are considered undervalued. The Partnership may also invest in equity securities of American Depository Receipts or mutual funds. Fair value is based on the limited partner account balance comprised of all contributions and withdrawals made along with its interest in net income realized and unrealized by the Partnership. The limited partnership investment is classified as a level 2 investment.

(f) The categorization of the investments held at December 31, 2011 was presented to conform to current year presentation.

Assumptions

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine benefit obligations and net periodic benefit expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

	Pension Benefits						Other Postretirement Benefits
	2012		2011		2010		2012		2011		2010
Projected benefit obligation:
Discount rate (a)	4.06	%	4.86	%	5.55	%	2.82	%	3.76	%	4.38	%
Rate of compensation increase	4.50	%	4.50	%	4.50	%	—		—		—
Net periodic benefit expense:
Discount rate (a)(b)	4.86	%	5.55	%	5.80	%	3.76	%	4.38	%	5.50	%
Rate of compensation increase	4.50	%	4.50	%	4.57	%	—		—		—
Expected long-term return on plan assets (c)	7.00	%	7.25	%	7.50	%	—		—		—

________________

(a) We determine the discount rate primarily by reference to the effective yields on high quality corporate bonds that have a comparable cash flow pattern to the expected payments to be made under our plans.

(b) As a result of the changes to other postretirement benefits during the second quarter of 2010, we remeasured our postretirement obligation as of June 30, 2010. The discount rate used to determine the net periodic benefit expense was 6.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and 4.64% for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

(c) The expected return on plan assets reflects the weighted-average of the expected long-term rates of return for the broad categories of investments held in the plans. The expected long-term rate of return is adjusted when there are fundamental changes in expected returns on the plan’s investments.

The assumed health care cost trend rates used to determine the projected postretirement benefit obligation are as follows:

	2012		2011
Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year	7.90	%	8.00	%
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate)	4.80	%	4.80	%
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate	2024		2024

Assumed health care cost trend rates could have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. However, at December 31, 2012, a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have less than a million dollar effect on the service and interest cost components and on our postretirement benefit obligation.

Future Cash Flows

We are not required to make any contributions to our funded employee pension plan under applicable laws and regulations during the 2013 fiscal year and we continue to evaluate our expected 2013 voluntary contributions.

The following estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid for our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits in the years indicated (in millions):

	Pension Benefits		Other Postretirement Benefits
2013	$	55	$	10
2014	58		9
2015	60		10
2016	62		10
2017	65		11
2018-2022	338		50

Thrift Plan

We sponsor an employee thrift 401(k) plan that provides for contributions, subject to certain limitations, by eligible employees into designated investment funds with a matching contribution by Tesoro. Employees may elect tax-deferred or Roth treatment in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. We match 100% of employee contributions, up to 6% of the employee’s eligible compensation (subject to applicable union collective bargaining agreements). Effective August 2011, we eliminated the requirement that 50% of Tesoro’s matching contribution to employees be invested in Tesoro’s common stock held in the Tesoro common stock fund, and began allowing employees the ability to invest their own contributions in the Tesoro common stock fund. Our contributions to the thrift plan amounted to $19 million, in both 2012 and 2011, and $24 million in 2010, of which $13 million consisted of treasury stock reissuances in 2010. Treasury stock reissuances were not used to fund contributions during 2012 or 2011.

Retail Savings Plan

We sponsor a separate 401(k) savings plan for eligible retail store employees who meet the plan’s eligibility requirements. Eligible employees automatically receive a non-elective employer contribution equal to 3% of eligible earnings, regardless of participation. For employees that make pre-tax contributions, we also provide a matching contribution equal to $0.50 for each $1.00 of employee contributions, up to 6% of eligible earnings. Effective August 2011, we eliminated the requirement that 50% of Tesoro’s matching contribution to employees be invested in Tesoro’s common stock held in the Tesoro common stock fund, and began allowing employees the ability to invest their own contributions in the Tesoro common stock fund. Our contributions amounted to $0.7 million in both 2012 and 2011, and $0.1 million in 2010, which primarily consisted of treasury stock reissuances in 2010. Treasury stock reissuances were not used to fund contributions during 2012 or 2011.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

We also sponsor a non-qualified executive deferred compensation plan, which provides eligible employees the opportunity for additional pre-tax deferrals and company contributions not provided under our thrift 401(k) plan due to compensation and deferral limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code.

Fair Value Measurements (Notes)

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We classify financial assets and financial liabilities into the following fair value hierarchy:

• level 1 - valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

• level 2 - valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

• level 3 - valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

We measure fair value using level 1 inputs, when available, because they provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. Derivative instruments and our Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) are our only financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We did not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as level 3 at December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011. See Note K for further information on the Company’s derivative instruments.

Our derivative instruments consist primarily of options (“Options”), exchange-traded futures (“Futures Contracts”), over-the-counter swaps and options (“OTC Swap Contracts” and “OTC Option Contracts,” respectively), and physical commodity forward purchase and sale contracts (“Forward Contracts”). Options are valued using quoted prices from exchanges and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Futures Contracts are valued based on quoted prices from exchanges and are categorized in level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the liquidity of the instrument. OTC Swap Contracts, OTC Option Contracts and Forward Contracts are valued using third-party broker quotes, industry pricing services and price curves derived from commodity exchange postings, with consideration of counterparty credit risk. These quotes are corroborated with market data and are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Our RINs obligation represents a liability for the purchase of RINs to satisfy the requirement to blend biofuels into the products we produce. RINs are assigned to biofuels produced or imported into the U.S. as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). This requirement was implemented in accordance with the Renewable Fuel Standard of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and expanded by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.  The EPA sets annual quotas for the percentage of biofuels that must be blended into transportation fuels consumed in the U.S., and as a producer of transportation fuels from petroleum, we are required to blend biofuels into the products we produce at a rate that will meet the EPA’s quota. To the degree we are unable to blend at that rate, we must purchase RINs in the open market to satisfy the requirement.  Our RINs obligation is based on the amount of RINs we must purchase and the price of those RINs as of the balance sheet date.  Our RINs obligation is categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and is measured at fair value using the market approach based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.

Financial instruments recognized at fair values in our consolidated balance sheets by level within the fair value hierarchy were as follows (in millions):

________________

(a) Represents the impact of netting assets, liabilities and cash collateral when a legal right of offset exists. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, cash collateral amounts of $27 million and $75 million, respectively are netted with mark-to-market derivative assets.

Certain of our derivative contracts, under master netting arrangements, include both asset and liability positions. We have elected to offset both the fair value amounts and any related cash collateral amounts recognized for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty when there is a legally enforceable right and an intention to settle net or simultaneously.

We believe the carrying value of our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including:

• the short term duration of the instruments (less than one percent of our trade receivables and payables are outstanding for greater than 90 days); and

• the expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk.

The fair value of our debt is based on prices from recent trade activity and is categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value and fair value of our debt was approximately $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively at December 31, 2012, and $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively at December 31, 2011.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of certain impaired nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, were as follows (in millions):

	December 31, 2012		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Losses for the year ended December 31, 2012
Assets:
Hawaii refinery, terminal and distribution assets (a)	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	248

	December 31, 2011		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total Losses for the year ended December 31, 2011
Assets:
Refining equipment and engineering costs	$	5	$	—	$	—	$	5	$	51

________________

(a) Includes impairment charges for all of the plant, property and equipment and deferred charges at our Hawaii refinery, as well as the asset retirement obligations established in connection with the shut-down of the refinery.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we conducted an impairment analysis in connection with the decision to cease refining operations at our Hawaii refinery and begin the process of converting the refinery to an import, storage and distribution terminal. The fair value of the refining reporting unit, which includes the refinery assets and terminal and distribution assets, was estimated using the income approach through the use of discounted projected cash flows. We believe the fair value estimated for the refining reporting unit assets is representative of a market participant’s view of the assets based on the recently completed bidding process, with none of the definitive proposals indicating a fair value in excess of zero for these assets. As a result, we wrote down the entire book value of the refining reporting unit assets and recorded impairment charges of $248 million at December 31, 2012. These charges included $188 million for the net book value of the property, plant and equipment, $40 million representing deferred charges and $20 million associated with the additional AROs. See additional discussion in Note C.

We evaluate the recoverability of the cost of capital projects in progress. For one project at our Wilmington refinery, regulations issued by California’s South Coast Air Quality Management District required emission of nitrogen oxides to be reduced by the end of 2010. Our initial plan in 2007 to meet this regulation was to replace our power cogeneration units and steam boilers and began construction of this project in 2008. We subsequently decided to use air emissions credits to meet this requirement. This allowed us to defer the planned capital expenditures related to this project but caused us to incur an impairment charge of $20 million in 2010 as a result of this change in scope.

During 2011, we decided to sell, rather than use, specific equipment related to the change in scope of this capital project. The equipment and related unrecoverable engineering costs specifically manufactured and uniquely configured for this project were written down from a carrying value of $56 million to a fair value of $5 million, resulting in a $51 million loss included in loss on asset disposals and impairments. The estimated fair value was based on amounts recoverable if the equipment was sold to an end user in the principal or most advantageous market for the assets in an orderly transaction. As of December 31, 2011, we categorized the $5 million in recoverable engineering costs in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the amount represented our estimate of an unobservable input that required significant judgment, for which there was little or no market data.

As discussed in Note H, the annual goodwill impairment review performed during the fourth quarter of 2010 resulted in a goodwill impairment charge related to our Hawaii refinery included in loss on asset disposals and impairments. There were no goodwill impairments or indefinite lived intangible assets that were measured at fair value during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

[1] We determine the discount rate primarily by reference to the effective yields on high quality corporate bonds that have a comparable cash flow pattern to the expected payments to be made under our plans.

[2] As a result of the changes to other postretirement benefits during the second quarter of 2010, we remeasured our postretirement obligation as of June 30, 2010. The discount rate used to determine the net periodic benefit expense was 6.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and 4.64% for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

[3] The expected return on plan assets reflects the weighted-average of the expected long-term rates of return for the broad categories of investments held in the plans.

AQUISITIONS AND OTHER CHANGES IN OPERATIONS

ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER CHANGES IN OPERATIONS

Acquisition of BP’s Southern California Refining and Marketing Business

On August 8, 2012, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with BP West Coast Products, LLC and certain other sellers to purchase BP’s integrated Southern California refining and marketing business (the “Carson Acquisition”). The assets to be acquired include the 266 Mbpd Carson refinery located adjacent to our Wilmington refinery, related marine terminals, land storage terminals, pipelines and product marketing terminals. In addition, the assets include the ARCO^® brand and associated registered trademarks, as well as a master franchisee license for the ampm^® convenience store brand and the supply rights to approximately 800 branded dealer-operated and branded wholesale stations in Southern California, Nevada and Arizona. Additionally, we will acquire a 51% ownership in the gas fueled Watson cogeneration facility and an anode coke calcining operation, both located near the Carson refinery.

The purchase price is $1.175 billion, plus the value of inventories at the time of closing. The purchase and sale agreement provides for a $100 million reduction in the purchase price upon meeting certain conditions as defined in the agreement. This acquisition, which is subject to customary closing conditions and will require approval from the Federal Trade Commission and the California Attorney General, is expected to close before mid-2013. The purchase and sale agreement also required an advance payment of $90 million and provides for us to pay a break-up fee of up to $140 million in the event that we terminate the agreement (except for termination for specified reasons). In the event a break-up fee is required, the advance payment of $90 million will be applied to the amount due. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred transaction costs of approximately $9 million related to the acquisition, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our statements of consolidated operations. Upon the closing of the Carson Acquisition, the sellers have agreed, subject to certain limitations, to retain certain obligations, responsibilities, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of the pre-closing operations of the assets. We have agreed to assume certain obligations, responsibilities, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with decrees, orders and settlements the sellers entered into with governmental and non-governmental entities prior to closing. We expect that upon closing the Carson Acquisition, we will record certain assumed environmental liabilities.

Retail Acquisition

In January 2012, we acquired 49 retail stations located primarily in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming, from SUPERVALU, Inc. We paid approximately $37 million for the assets, including inventories of approximately $3 million and spent approximately $4 million to replace the dispensers at these stations. We assumed the obligations under the seller’s leases. SUPERVALU, Inc. retained environmental and certain pre-closing liabilities. This acquisition is not material to our consolidated financial statements.

TLLP Acquisition of the Northwest Products System

On December 6, 2012, TLLP executed definitive agreements to purchase the Northwest Products System. For additional information regarding the acquisition, see Note B.

Hawaii Refinery

On January 8, 2013, we announced that we have been unable to sell our Hawaii operations, will cease refining operations in April 2013, and begin the process of converting the refinery to an import, storage and distribution terminal. We will maintain the existing distribution system to support marketing operations and fulfill supply commitments while continuing to offer the assets for sale. We expect to recognize other charges during the first half of 2013 related to severance and postretirement obligations in connection with the conversion to terminal operations. These charges are not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we may recognize contract termination or other exit costs as we cease refining operations. These assets continue to be reported as held and used at December 31, 2012 because all of the accounting criteria for the held-for-sale classification have not been met.

We announced in January 2012 that we intended to sell our Hawaii operations. Throughout 2012, based on our ongoing sale process and indications of interest from potential buyers, we believed a single sale of our Hawaii operations would occur at an amount that would exceed our carrying value. However, the final proposals we received during the fourth quarter of 2012 were not acceptable and indicated a significant decline in the estimated fair value of the Hawaii operations from previous estimates. As a result, we conducted an impairment test for the long-lived assets for both the refining and retail reporting units in Hawaii. We estimated the fair value of the Hawaii refining reporting unit, which includes the refinery assets and terminal and distribution assets, using the income approach through the use of discounted projected cash flows, which resulted in an estimated fair value of zero. The most recent bids for these assets also support this fair value. As a result, we recorded impairment charges of $228 million at December 31, 2012 for the Hawaii refining reporting unit, representing the entire net book value of the property, plant and equipment of $188 million and deferred charges of $40 million.

We also recognized AROs at a fair value of $20 million for estimated costs to be incurred, the timing of which can now be reasonably determined based on the plans described above, to indefinitely idle the refining assets and to convert certain storage tanks to terminal operations. These estimated costs to perform the necessary work were determined based on unobservable inputs, including third-party and internal estimates. All amounts associated with the impairment and recognition of AROs are included in loss on asset disposals and impairments in our statements of consolidated operations.

The long-lived assets of Hawaii’s retail reporting unit were not impaired at December 31, 2012, based on estimated cash flows and comparable market transaction data for similar retail operations.

We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for future income tax consequences that are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their income tax bases. Temporary differences and the resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2012 and 2011, were (in millions):

Total deferred tax liabilities	1,228			1,215
Deferred tax liabilities, net	$	736		$	784

We have recorded a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, due to uncertainties related to our ability to use certain state tax credit carryforwards. The valuation allowance reduces the benefit of those carryforwards to the amount that will more likely than not be realized, and is based on anticipated taxable income in the various jurisdictions. The realization of our other deferred tax assets depends on Tesoro’s ability to generate future taxable income. Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that we will realize those deferred tax assets.

The net deferred income tax liability is classified in the consolidated balance sheets as follows (in millions):

	2012		2011
Current Assets	$	114	$	31
Noncurrent Liabilities	850		815

The reconciliation of income tax expense (benefit) at the U.S. statutory rate to the income tax expense is as follows (in millions):

As of December 31, 2012, we have $8 million of state income tax credit carryforwards which expire in 2026. We have no remaining federal or state net operating losses to carry forward to 2013, and we have no remaining federal or state alternative minimum tax credit carry forwards.

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S., multiple state jurisdictions, and a few foreign jurisdictions. Our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $30 million and $31 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, of which $12 million are recognized as tax liabilities in each year. Included in those amounts are $18 million (net of the tax benefit on state issues) as of both December 31, 2012 and 2011, which would reduce the effective tax rate if recognized.

We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months. We had accrued $5 million and $8 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for interest and penalties. We recognized a reduction of $3 million, $1 million and $4 million in interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. For interest and penalties relating to income taxes we recognize accrued interest in net interest and financing costs and penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of consolidated operations. The tax years 2006 forward remain open to federal examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and in general the tax years 2006 forward remain open to examination by various state taxing authorities.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The timing, direction and overall change in refined product prices versus crude oil prices impacts profit margins and has a significant impact on our earnings and cash flows. Consequently, we use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of feedstocks, refined products and energy supplies to or from the Company’s refineries, terminals, retail operations and customers. We also use non-trading derivative instruments to manage price risks associated with inventories above or below our target levels. To achieve our objectives, we use derivative instruments such as Options, Futures Contracts, OTC Swap Contracts, OTC Option Contracts, and Forward Contracts, all with maturity dates of less than two years. We believe that there is minimal credit risk with respect to our counterparties.

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on our purchases of Canadian crude oil. We enter into Forward Contracts of Canadian dollars to manage these monthly exchange rate fluctuations.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of a commodity derivative depends on whether the derivative has been designated in a hedging relationship and whether we have elected the normal purchases and normal sales exception. The accounting for the change in fair value can be summarized as follows:

Derivative Treatment	Accounting Method
Normal purchases and normal sales exception	Accrual accounting
Designated in qualifying hedging relationship	Hedge accounting
All other derivatives	Mark-to-market accounting

The primary derivative instruments that we use have the following characteristics. Options provide the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the commodity at a specified price in the future. Futures Contracts include a requirement to buy or sell the commodity at a fixed price in the future. OTC Swap Contracts, OTC Option Contracts and Forward Contracts require cash settlement for the commodity based on the difference between a contracted fixed or floating price and the market price on the settlement date. Certain of these contracts require cash collateral if our liability position exceeds specified thresholds. At December 31, 2012, we had no cash collateral outstanding related to our OTC Swap Contracts.

The following table presents the fair value (in millions) of our derivative instruments as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The fair value amounts below are presented on a gross basis and do not reflect the netting of asset and liability positions permitted under the terms of our master netting arrangements including cash collateral on deposit with, or received from, brokers. We have elected to offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements when a legal right of offset exists. As a result, the asset and liability amounts below will not agree with the amounts presented in our consolidated balance sheet.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLES

GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLES

Goodwill

Goodwill in our refining segment related to our Utah refinery totaled $31 million at both December 31, 2012 and 2011. In our retail segment, goodwill totaled $5 million at both December 31, 2012 and 2011. There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during 2012 and 2011.

A quantitative approach was used to review the carrying value of goodwill for impairment in years prior to the period ending December 31, 2011. For the periods ending December 31, 2012 and 2011, we used the qualitative approach prescribed by the ASU issued by the FASB in September 2011. This ASU evaluates relevant events and or circumstances to test for possible goodwill impairment. Based on the analysis performed, we determined no further testing was required.

During 2010, we determined that all of the goodwill related to the Hawaii refinery reporting unit was impaired and recorded a $10 million impairment because we determined that the carrying value of our Hawaii refinery exceeded the fair value. An increase in the carrying value of our Hawaii refinery in 2010 resulted from turnaround spending and a reduction in certain pension and other postretirement obligations. Our estimated fair value decreased as a result of lower projected cash flows driven by a revised margin outlook. At the time of the goodwill impairment review, there was no indication of impairment for the other long-lived assets at the Hawaii refinery. The impairment charges are included in loss on asset disposals and impairments.

Acquired Intangibles

The following table provides the historical cost and accumulated amortization for each major class of acquired intangible assets, excluding goodwill (in millions):

Amortization expense of acquired intangible assets was $12 million, $18 million and $18 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our estimated amortization expense for each of the following five years is: 2013 — $12 million; 2014 — $12 million; 2015 — $12 million; 2016 — $12 million; and 2017 — $12 million.

________________

(a) Adjusted to include the historical results of the Martinez Marine Terminal and Long Beach Assets.

(b) As TLLP is an entity under common control with Tesoro, TLLP records the assets that it acquires from Tesoro on its balance sheet at historical book value instead of fair value. Additionally, any excess of cash paid over the historical book value of the assets acquired from Tesoro is recorded in equity. As a result of this accounting treatment, its purchases of the Martinez Marine Terminal, the Long Beach Assets and the Anacortes Rail Facility caused TLLP’s equity balance to decrease $307 million from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012.

Credit Facilities Overview

Our credit facilities as of December 31, 2012, were subject to the following expenses and fees.

Credit Facility	30 day Eurodollar (LIBOR) Rate	Eurodollar Margin	Base Rate	Base Rate Margin	Commitment Fee (unused portion)
Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility ($1.85 billion) (a)	0.21%	1.75%	3.25%	0.75%	0.375%
TLLP Revolving Credit Facility ($300 million) (b)	0.21%	3.25%	3.25%	2.25%	0.50%

________________

(a) We have the option to elect if borrowings will bear interest at either a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable period, plus, the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin varies based upon our Revolving Credit Facility’s credit ratings. Letters of credit outstanding under the Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility incur fees at the Eurodollar margin rate. We also incur commitment fees for the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate.

(b) TLLP has the option to elect if borrowings bear interest at either a base rate plus the base rate margin, or a Eurodollar rate, for the applicable period, plus, the Eurodollar margin at the time of the borrowing. The applicable margin varies based upon a certain leverage ratio, as defined by the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility. TLLP incurs commitment fees for the unused portion of the TLLP Revolving Credit at an annual rate. In January 2013, TLLP amended this facility which among other things, decreases the borrowing rates under this facility. See additional information under TLLP Revolving Credit Facility below.

Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”)

At December 31, 2012, our Revolving Credit Facility provided for borrowings (including letters of credit) up to the lesser of the amount of a periodically adjusted borrowing base of approximately $3.5 billion, consisting of Tesoro’s eligible cash and cash equivalents, receivables and petroleum inventories, net of the standard reserve as defined, or the Revolving Credit Facility’s total capacity of $1.85 billion. The total available capacity can be increased up to an aggregate amount of $2.25 billion, subject to receiving increased commitments. At December 31, 2012, we had no borrowings and $665 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, resulting in total unused credit availability of approximately $1.2 billion, or 64% of the eligible borrowing base.

Effective January 4, 2013, we entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which allows the capacity of our Revolving Credit Facility to be automatically increased to an aggregate of $3.0 billion, just prior to closing the Carson Acquisition (“Increase Effective Date”). Additionally, the agreement allows for us to request that the capacity be increased up to an aggregate of $4.0 billion, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders; however, we must offer to reduce the commitments by at least $500 million on or prior to the 18 month anniversary of the Increase Effective Date and by an additional $500 million on or prior to the two year anniversary of the Increase Effective Date. The Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature, and commitments thereunder will terminate, on January 4, 2018.

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of Tesoro’s active domestic subsidiaries excluding TLGP, TLLP and its subsidiaries, and certain foreign subsidiaries, and is secured by substantially all of Tesoro’s active domestic subsidiaries’ crude oil and refined product inventories, cash and receivables. For additional information regarding TLLP, see Note B.

Our Revolving Credit Facility and senior notes each limit our restricted payments (as defined) including our ability to pay cash dividends, purchase our common stock or make voluntary repayments of subordinate debt. The aggregate amount of restricted payments cannot exceed an amount defined in each of the debt agreements. The indentures for our senior notes also limit our subsidiaries ability to make certain payments and distributions.

Letter of Credit Agreements

The Revolving Credit Facility allows us to obtain letters of credit under separate letter of credit agreements for foreign crude oil purchases. As of December 31, 2012, our five separate uncommitted letter of credit agreements had $637 million outstanding. Letters of credit outstanding under these agreements incur fees and are secured by the crude oil inventories for which they are issued. Capacity under these letter of credit agreements is available on an uncommitted basis and can be terminated by either party, at any time.

TPSA Revolving Credit Facility

TPSA, a directly and wholly owned subsidiary of Tesoro, entered into a 364-day uncommitted, secured revolving credit agreement in October 2011. Effective August 16, 2012, we terminated the TPSA revolving credit facility agreement. TPSA had no borrowings under the agreement at the time of termination and did not incur any early termination penalties.

Term Loan Credit Facility

Effective January 28, 2013, we entered into a term loan credit facility agreement (the “Term Loan Facility”) which allows us to borrow up to an aggregate of $500 million on or prior to August 9, 2013. The obligations under the Term Loan Facility will be secured by all equity interests of Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC and Tesoro Alaska Company, the Tesoro and USA Gasoline trademarks and those trademarks containing the name “ARCO” that will be acquired by Tesoro in the Carson Acquisition, and junior liens on certain assets.

Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility will bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.25% or a base rate plus 1.25%. We also incur a commitment fee commencing on March 1, 2013 on the term loan commitments. The Term Loan Facility matures three years from the initial borrowing. The Term Loan Facility will be subject to equal quarterly payments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum of the initial borrowing with the final payment of all amounts outstanding due on the maturity date.

The Term Loan Facility contains affirmative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default substantially similar to those set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility and contains negative covenants substantially similar to those set forth in the indentures for the 4.250% Senior Notes due 2017 (“2017 Notes”) and 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022 (“2022 Notes”).

TLLP Revolving Credit Facility

TLLP entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and financial institutions in April 2011. The TLLP Revolving Credit Facility is non-recourse to Tesoro, except for TLGP, and is guaranteed by all of TLLP’s subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of TLLP’s assets. As of December 31, 2012, the total loan availability under the TLLP Credit Facility was $300 million. Borrowings are available under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility up to the total available revolving capacity of the facility. As of December 31, 2012, TLLP had no borrowings outstanding under this facility.

Effective January 4, 2013, TLLP entered into an amended and restated senior secured revolving credit agreement, which increases total revolving loan availability under the facility from $300 million to $500 million and allows TLLP to request that the availability be increased up to an aggregate of $650 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders. Further, the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility decreases the Eurodollar margin and base rate margins under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility between 0.5% to 1.00%, depending on our leverage ratio, and includes a provision that allows a temporary increase in certain of TLLP’s financial covenants in the event of a material acquisition. The TLLP Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2017.

Substantially all of these covenants will terminate before the notes mature if one of two specified ratings agencies assigns the notes an investment grade rating and no events of default exist under the indenture. The terminated covenants will not be restored even if the credit rating assigned to the notes subsequently falls below investment grade.

Stockholders' Equity Attributable to Parent [Abstract]

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Our Revolving Credit Agreement and senior notes each limit our ability to pay cash dividends or buy back our stock. The limitation in each of our debt agreements is based on limits on restricted payments (as defined in our debt agreements), which include dividends, purchases of our stock or voluntary prepayments of subordinate debt. The aggregate amount of restricted payments cannot exceed an amount defined in each of the debt agreements. The indentures for our senior notes also limit certain of our subsidiaries ability to make certain payments and distributions. See Note S for information relating to stock-based compensation and common stock reserved for stock-based compensation awards.

Treasury Stock

We have the option to purchase shares of our common stock in open market transactions to meet our obligations under employee benefit plans. We also purchase shares of our common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options, the vesting of restricted stock and to fulfill other stock compensation requirements.

In August 2012, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a $500 million share repurchase program. Under the program, management is permitted to purchase Tesoro common stock at its discretion in the open market. The authorization has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We purchased approximately 2.5 million shares of our common stock for approximately $100 million during 2012 under this share repurchase program.

During 2011, our Board approved a program designed to offset the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards. As a result, we purchased approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $24.81 per share for approximately $26 million during 2012, and 4.7 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $20.19 per share for approximately $95 million during 2011.

Cash Dividends

In August 2012, our Board authorized the initiation of a regular quarterly cash dividend and approved an initial dividend payment of $0.12 per share. In October 2012, our Board approved an increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.15 per share. During 2012, we paid cash dividends on common stock totaling $0.27 per share, or $38 million. We did not pay any cash dividends during 2011 or 2010. On February 5, 2013, our Board declared a quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.20 per share. The dividend is payable on March 15, 2013 to holders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2013.

Tesoro Logistics LP (Notes)

Dec. 31, 2012

Variable Interest Entity, Measure of Activity [Abstract]

TESORO LOGISTICS LP

TESORO LOGISTICS LP

TLLP is a publicly traded limited partnership that was formed to own, operate, develop and acquire logistics assets. Its assets are integral to the success of Tesoro’s refining and marketing operations and are used to gather crude oil and distribute, transport and store crude oil and refined products. As of December 31, 2012, its assets consisted of a crude oil gathering system in the Williston Basin, eight refined products terminals in the midwestern and western United States, a crude oil and refined products storage facility and five related short-haul pipelines in Utah, two marine terminals in California and a rail car unloading facility in Washington.

In April 2011, TLLP completed the initial public offering (the “Initial Offering”) of 14,950,000 common units at a price of $21.00 per unit. We received net proceeds of approximately $283 million from the Initial Offering.

The TLLP senior secured revolving credit agreement (“TLLP Revolving Credit Facility”) and TLLP’s $350 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (“TLLP 2020 Notes”) discussed below are non-recourse to Tesoro, except for Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (“TLGP”), (which is TLLP’s general partner), and is guaranteed by all of TLLP’s subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of TLLP’s assets. TLLP is an excluded subsidiary under the Tesoro Corporation Revolving Credit Facility. For additional information regarding the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility, see Note M.

TLLP Acquisitions

Effective April 1, 2012, TLLP entered into a transaction to purchase, from Tesoro, our Martinez crude oil marine terminal assets (collectively, the “Martinez Marine Terminal”) and associated pipelines in exchange for $75 million, comprised of $67 million in cash financed with borrowings under the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility and the issuance of TLLP equity with a fair value of $8 million. The Martinez Marine Terminal consists of a single-berth dock, associated crude oil storage tanks, firewater tanks and related pipelines that receive crude oil from third-party vessels for delivery to our Martinez refinery and a third-party terminal.

Effective September 14, 2012, TLLP entered into a transaction to purchase, from Tesoro, our Long Beach marine terminal assets and related short-haul pipelines (collectively, the “Long Beach Assets”), in exchange for total consideration from TLLP of $210 million, comprised of $189 million in cash financed with borrowings under TLLP’s private placement debt offering and the issuance of TLLP equity with a fair value of $21 million. These assets, located near our Wilmington refinery, consist of a two-vessel berth dock leased from the city of Long Beach, storage tanks and related pipelines connecting our Wilmington refinery to the marine terminal and other third-party facilities.

Effective November 15, 2012, TLLP entered into a transaction to purchase, from Tesoro, our Anacortes rail car unloading facility assets (the “Anacortes Rail Facility”), in exchange for consideration of $180 million, comprised of $162 million in cash and the issuance of TLLP equity with a fair value of $18 million. The Anacortes Rail Facility includes an unloading platform, receiving and departing tracks and additional short track spurs, as well as other related assets and properties associated with the facility. The Anacortes Rail Facility transports Bakken crude oil to our Washington refinery.

On December 6, 2012, TLLP executed definitive agreements to purchase Chevron Pipe Line Company’s and Northwest Terminalling Company’s (collectively, “Chevron”) northwest products system (the “Northwest Products System”) for a total purchase price of $400 million. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close during the first quarter of 2013. TLLP paid a deposit of $40 million upon execution of the purchase agreements, which may be retained by Chevron upon certain contract termination events. The Northwest Products System consists of a regulated common carrier products pipeline running from Salt Lake City, Utah to Spokane, Washington, and a separate jet fuel pipeline to the Salt Lake City International Airport. It also includes certain assets of the Northwest Terminalling Company consisting of the Boise and Pocatello, Idaho and Pasco, Washington refined products terminals.

Debt and Equity Issuances and Revolver Amendment

Effective September 14, 2012, TLLP completed a private notes offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2020. The proceeds of this offering were used to fund TLLP’s acquisition of the Long Beach Assets, to repay the outstanding balance on the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility and to fund a portion of the acquisition of the Anacortes Rail Facility.

On October 5, 2012, TLLP closed an equity offering (“TLLP 2012 Equity Issuance”) of 4,255,000 common units at a public offering price of $41.80 per unit. Net proceeds to TLLP from the sale of the units were approximately $171 million. The proceeds of this offering were primarily used to fund TLLP’s acquisition of the Anacortes Rail Facility.

On January 14, 2013, TLLP closed an equity offering (“TLLP 2013 Equity Issuance”) of 9,775,000 common units at a public offering price of $41.70 per unit. Net proceeds to TLLP from the sale of the units were approximately $392 million. In connection with the offering, TLGP purchased 199,490 general partner units at a price of $41.70 per unit to maintain its 2% general partner interest in TLLP.

Effective January 4, 2013, TLLP amended and restated the TLLP Revolving Credit Facility, which increases total revolving loan availability under the facility from $300 million to $500 million and allows TLLP to request that the availability be increased up to an aggregate of $650 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from the lenders.

We held an approximate 47% interest in TLLP at December 31, 2012, including a 2% interest in the general partner. This interest includes 1,283,915 common units, 15,254,890 subordinated units and 729,596 general partner units. Subsequent to the TLLP 2013 Equity Issuance on January 14, 2013, we owned an approximate 38% interest in TLLP, including an approximate 2% general partner interest. All intercompany transactions with TLLP are eliminated upon consolidation.

Commercial Agreements

TLLP generates revenue by charging fees for gathering, transporting and storing crude oil and for terminalling, transporting and storing refined products. We do not provide financial or equity support through any liquidity arrangements or financial guarantees to TLLP.

TLLP provides us with various pipeline transportation, trucking, terminal distribution and storage services under long-term, fee-based commercial agreements expiring 2016 through 2022. These include 10-year use and throughput agreements and a transportation agreement.

Each of these agreements, with the exception of the storage and transportation services agreement, contain minimum volume commitments. Each agreement has fees that are indexed for inflation and, except for a trucking transportation services agreement, provides us with options to renew for two additional five-year terms. The agreements also include provisions that permit us to suspend, reduce or terminate our obligations under the applicable agreement if certain events occur after one year of continuing minimum payments.

In addition to commercial agreements, we are also a party to the following agreements with TLLP:

Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement. We entered into an omnibus agreement with TLLP at the closing of the Initial Offering. The omnibus agreement, most recently amended in November 2012 (the “Amended Omnibus Agreement”) in connection with the sale of the Anacortes Rail Facility, contains the following key provisions:

• Non-compete clause between us and TLLP effective under certain circumstances;

• Right of first offer to TLLP for certain of our retained logistics assets, including certain terminals, pipelines, docks, storage facilities and other related assets located in California, Alaska and Washington;

• Payment of an annual fee to us, currently $2.5 million, for the provision of various general and administrative services;

• Reimbursement to TLLP for certain maintenance and expansion capital expenditures; and

• indemnification to TLLP for certain matters, including pre-IPO environmental, title and tax matters.

Additional sales of assets from us to TLLP are governed by the Amended Omnibus Agreement.

Amended and Restated Operational Services Agreement. We entered into an operational services agreement with TLLP at the closing of the Initial Offering, which was most recently amended in November 2012 (the “Amended Operational Services Agreement”) in connection with the sale of the Anacortes Rail Facility. Under the Amended Operational Services Agreement, TLLP reimburses us for the provision of certain operational services in support of their pipelines, terminals and storage facility.

TLLP is a consolidated variable interest entity. With the exception of affiliate balances which are eliminated upon consolidation, and their impact on equity, the TLLP condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, as presented below, are included in the consolidated balance sheets of Tesoro Corporation.

(a) Adjusted to include the historical results of the Martinez Marine Terminal and Long Beach Assets.

(b) As TLLP is an entity under common control with Tesoro, TLLP records the assets that it acquires from Tesoro on its balance sheet at historical book value instead of fair value. Additionally, any excess of cash paid over the historical book value of the assets acquired from Tesoro is recorded in equity. As a result of this accounting treatment, its purchases of the Martinez Marine Terminal, the Long Beach Assets and the Anacortes Rail Facility caused TLLP’s equity balance to decrease $307 million from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

We issue stock-based awards as described below to employees under the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”). We also have outstanding awards under our 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”), Amended and Restated Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan and Non-Employee Director Stock Plan. Tesoro had 3,575,790 shares available for future grants under our plans at December 31, 2012, assuming a 200% payout of performance-based awards. Usually, when stock options are exercised or when restricted common stock is granted we issue new shares rather than issuing treasury shares. Our plans are described below.

• The 2011 Plan permits the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted common stock, restricted stock units, and incentive bonuses (which may be paid in cash, stock, or a combination thereof), any of which may be performance-based. The 2011 Plan became effective in May 2011 and no awards may be granted under the 2011 Plan on or after February 2021. Stock options may be granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value on the date the options are granted.

• The 2006 Plan permits the grant of options, restricted common stock, deferred stock units, performance stock awards, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. The 2006 Plan became effective in May 2006. Stock options may be granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value on the date the options are granted. Options granted become exercisable after one year in 33% annual increments and expire ten years from the date of grant. No further awards may be granted under this plan.

• The Amended and Restated Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan, which expired in May 2006, allowed grants in a variety of forms, including restricted stock, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share and performance unit awards.

• The 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan provided for the grant of nonqualified stock options over the life of the plan to eligible non-employee directors of Tesoro. These automatic, non-discretionary stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value per share of Tesoro’s common stock at the date of grant. The term of each option is ten years, and an option becomes exercisable six months after it is granted. The plan expired in February 2010 and no further options may be granted under this plan.

TLGP maintains a unit-based compensation plan for officers and directors of TLGP and its affiliates. The TLLP 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“TLLP Plan”) permits the grant of options, restricted units, phantom units, unit appreciation rights, distribution equivalent rights, unit awards, and other unit-based awards. Awards granted during 2012 under the TLLP Plan will be settled with TLLP units. Compensation expense for these awards were not material to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Stock-based compensation expense included in our statements of consolidated operations was as follows (in millions):    

	2012		2011		2010
Stock appreciation rights	$	61	$	27	$	26
Performance share awards	13		2		—
Market stock units	13		4		—
Restricted common stock	6		8		13
Phantom stock options	5		5		11
Performance units	3		3		1
Stock options	2		2		6
Other	2		2		1
Total Stock-Based Compensation Expense	$	105	$	53	$	58

We have aggregated expenses for certain award types as they are not considered significant. The income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for stock-based compensation was $37 million, $18 million, $23 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The reduction in current taxes payable from tax deductions resulting from exercises and vestings under all of our stock-based compensation arrangements totaled $30 million, $29 million and $6 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock Appreciation Rights

A SAR entitles an employee to receive cash in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR. The fair value of each SAR is estimated at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We did not grant SARs to our employees during the years ended December 31, 2012 or 2011. We paid cash of $38 million and $11 million to settle SARs exercised during 2012 and 2011, respectively. We had $79 million and $55 million recorded in accrued liabilities associated with our SARs awards in our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

A summary of our SARs activity for the year ended December 31, 2012, is set forth below (shares in thousands):

	Number of SARs		Weighted Average Exercise Price	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term
Outstanding at January 1, 2012	6,037		$23.72	3.5 years
Exercised	(2,088	)	16.19
Forfeited	(114	)	29.91
Outstanding at December 31, 2012	3,835		27.64	2.3 years
Vested or expected to vest at December 31, 2012	3,835		27.64	2.3 years
Exercisable at December 31, 2012	3,704		28.16	2.2 years

The expected life of SARs granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that the awards are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock. We use historical data to estimate SAR exercises and employee termination within the valuation model. Expected dividend yield is based on annualized dividends at the date of valuation. The risk-free rate of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of valuation. The weighted-average assumptions used to value our SARs as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, are presented below:

	2012	2011	2010
Expected life from date of grant (years)	7	6	6
Expected volatility	57%	58%	57%
Expected dividend yield	1%	—%	—%
Risk-free interest rate	0.2%	1.2%	1.7%

Performance Share Awards

Performance Conditions

We granted performance condition performance share awards under the 2011 Plan in February 2012. The vesting percentages of these equity awards, range from 0-200%, and are tied to performance conditions over a three-year period. These performance share awards vest at the end of the performance period. The fair value of performance share awards tied to performance measures is estimated using the market price of our common stock on the grant date. The estimated fair value of these performance share awards is amortized over a three-year vesting period using the straight-line method. The value of the award ultimately paid will be based on return on capital employed, which is measured against the performance peer group.

Market Conditions

We granted market condition performance share awards under the 2011 Plan in February 2012. The vesting percentages of these equity awards, range from 0-200%, and are tied to market conditions over a three-year performance period. These performance share awards vest at the end of the performance period. The fair value of each performance share award is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model and is estimated at the end of each reporting period. The estimated fair value of these performance share awards is amortized over a three-year vesting period using the straight-line method. The value of the award ultimately paid will be based on relative total shareholder return, which is measured against the performance peer group and the S&P 500 Index.

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility over the most recent three year period. Expected dividend yield is based on annualized dividends at the date of valuation. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of valuation. The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation used to value our market condition performance share awards as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 are presented below:

	2012	2011
Expected volatility	45%	52%
Expected dividend yield	1%	—%
Risk-free interest rate	0.4%	0.4%

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested performance share awards totaled $15 million as of December 31, 2012, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated weighted average payout percentage for these awards was approximately 110%. A summary of our performance share award activity, assuming a 100% payout, is set forth below (shares in thousands):

	Number of Shares		Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2012	274		$31.53
Granted	380		30.98
Forfeited	(17	)	31.40
Nonvested at December 31, 2012	637		31.20

Market Stock Units

We granted market stock units under the 2011 Plan in February 2012. These market stock units represent the right to receive a target number of shares that will vest at the end of a three-year performance period. The number of shares ultimately issued will be based on Tesoro’s stock price changes over the performance period. The market stock units’ potential payout can range from 50-200% of targeted award value, unless the average closing stock price at vesting has decreased more than 50% from the average closing stock price at the grant date, then no market stock units will be paid out. The fair value of each market stock unit is estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The estimated fair value of these market stock units is amortized over a three-year vesting period using the straight-line method. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated weighted average payout percentage for these awards was 169%. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested market stock units totaled $18 million as of December 31, 2012, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. A summary of our market stock unit award activity, assuming a 100% payout, is set forth below (units in thousands):

	Number of Units		Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value	Intrinsic Value (In millions)
Nonvested at January 1, 2012	424		$34.22	$9
Granted	665		33.93
Forfeited	(53	)	34.14
Nonvested at December 31, 2012	1,036		34.04	46

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock. We use historical data to estimate employee termination within the valuation model. Expected dividend yield is based on annualized dividends at the date of grant. The risk-free rate for periods within the performance period is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Tesoro’s weighted-average assumptions used to measure units granted during 2012 and 2011 are presented below:

	2012	2011
Expected volatility	51%	68%
Expected dividend yield	—%	—%
Risk-free interest rate	0.3%	1.0%

Restricted Common Stock

The fair value of each restricted share on the grant date is equal to the market price of our common stock on that date. The estimated fair value of our restricted common stock is amortized over the vesting period primarily using the straight-line method. These awards primarily vest in annual increments ratably over three years. The total fair value of restricted shares vested in 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $14 million, $18 million and $7 million, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of restricted common stock granted during 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $30.78, $22.01 and $12.94, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to our non-vested restricted common stock totaled $2 million as of December 31, 2012. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years. The fair value of non-vested restricted common stock, as of December 31, 2012, totaled $17 million.

A summary of our restricted common stock activity is set forth below (shares in thousands):

	Number of Restricted Shares		Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2012	986		$14.43
Granted	18		30.78
Vested	(582	)	14.21
Forfeited	(34	)	13.09
Nonvested at December 31, 2012	388		15.64

Performance Units

We granted performance units to certain officers and other key employees during 2010. These performance units represent the right to receive a cash payment at the end of the performance period depending on Tesoro’s achievement of pre-established performance measures and vested on December 31, 2012. The value of the award as of December 31, 2012 was based on our relative total shareholder return against the performance peer group and the S&P 500 index as well as the absolute total shareholder return of Tesoro’s common stock over the performance period. The performance units were settled in cash and paid out at 150% of targeted award value in February 2013. Prior to the vesting date, the fair value of each performance unit was estimated at the end of each reporting period using a Monte Carlo simulation model. We had $6 million and $3 million recorded in accrued liabilities associated with our performance units at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. A summary of our performance unit activity is set forth below (units in thousands):

	Number of Performance Units		Fair Value per Unit at End of Period
Nonvested at January 1, 2012	4,295		$1.20
Vested	(4,202	)
Forfeited	(93	)
Nonvested at December 31, 2012	—

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility over the most recent three-year period. Expected dividend yield is based on annualized dividends at the date of valuation. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of valuation. The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation used to value our performance units as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, are presented below:

	2011	2010
Expected volatility	49%	50%
Expected dividend yield	—%	—%
Risk-free interest rate	0.3%	0.6%

Stock Options

Under the terms of our stock option plans, the exercise price of options granted is equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of these stock options is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. The estimated weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of options granted during 2011 and 2010 was $12.07 and $7.36, respectively. There were no options granted to our employees during 2012.

Our options primarily become exercisable after one year in 33% annual increments and expire ten years from the date of grant. Stock options granted in connection with the inducement awards provided to our chief executive officer vest 30% on each of the first two anniversaries of the grant date and 40% on the third anniversary of the grant date. The total intrinsic value for options exercised during 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $28 million, $31 million and $7 million, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options totaled $1 million as of December 31, 2012, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.7 years. The reduction in current taxes payable from tax deductions associated with stock options exercised during 2012 totaled $10 million.

A summary of stock option activity for all plans is set forth below (options in thousands):

	Number of Options		Weighted-Average Exercise Price	Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In millions)
Outstanding at January 1, 2012	5,668		$27.80	4.8 years	$24
Exercised	(1,861	)	18.28
Forfeited or expired	(279	)	36.94
Outstanding at December 31, 2012	3,528		32.09	4.4 years	44
Vested or expected to vest at December 31, 2012	3,528		32.09	4.4 years	44
Exercisable at December 31, 2012	3,336		33.08	4.2 years	39

The expected life of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock. We use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. Expected dividend yield is based on annualized dividends at the date of grant. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Tesoro’s weighted-average assumptions used to measure stock options granted during 2011 and 2010 are presented below:

	2011	2010
