Cox Vice President, Treasurer, & Chief Financial Officer Giant Industries, Inc. (480) 585-8888 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 12, 2003 GIANT INDUSTRIES, INC. ANNOUNCES IMPROVED SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS Scottsdale, AZ (August 12, 2003): Giant Industries, Inc. [NYSE: GI] announced today net earnings from continuing operations of $769,000 or $0.09 per share for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003. Net earnings, including discontinued operations, were $447,000 or $0.05 per share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to a net loss for the second quarter of 2002 of ($4.3 million) or ($0.50) per share. For the first half of 2003, the Company reported net earnings of $2.1 million or $0.24 per share versus a net loss of ($4.2 million) or ($0.49) per share for the first six months of 2002. Fred Holliger, Giant's Chairman and CEO said, "The first six months of this year were better than the first six months of last year as each of our three business units posted significant improvement in operating results. Our refining operations had earnings before tax of $27.7 million in the first half of 2003 compared to $14.2 million for the same period last year. The improvement was primarily the result of improved refining margins. Refining's contribution to earnings was negatively impacted by a scheduled turnaround at our Yorktown refinery that took place the last ten days of March and the first two weeks of April. Additionally, an unscheduled outage at our Yorktown refinery caused by a transformer failure at the third-party owned and operated electric generation plant that supplies power to the refinery negatively impacted earnings. As a result of this outage, we incurred costs of approximately $1.3 million to repair damage caused by the loss of power and estimate the reduced production resulted in lost earnings of approximately $3.8 million. We are pursuing reimbursement from our power supplier for these costs. We have no way, however, of predicting the outcome of this effort." "Our retail operations have also performed well in the first half of 2003. Year-to-date, the earnings contribution from same store fuel sales is up almost 25% over the prior year level and our same store merchandise contribution is up approximately 10% over the prior year. These improvements, coupled with continued cost containment, have resulted in earnings before tax in the first six months of 2003 of approximately $5.6 million versus a loss of $90,000 in the first six months of last year. As a result of this improved performance and our program to divest non-strategic locations, our store level return on investment has increased to an acceptable level." "Phoenix Fuel Company continued to experience strong growth in both wholesale and cardlock fuel sales that contributed to before tax earnings growth of approximately 27% from approximately $3.0 million in the first six months of 2002 to $3.9 million in the first six months of 2003." Holliger continued, "We are continuing the sale of non-strategic assets and remain committed to our debt reduction program. In the second quarter, we received proceeds of approximately $6.6 million from the sale of retail assets. We recently negotiated a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the sale of our corporate office. The sale is contingent on, among other things, us entering into a mutually acceptable leaseback arrangement. Upon completion of this sale, we will have sold approximately $38.8 million of non- strategic assets since we began the program in May of last year." "In the second quarter, we funded approximately $4.9 million of capital expenditures and reduced debt by approximately $8.0 million. We have reduced our debt in excess of $62 million since the end of the second quarter 2002. Today, we have no borrowings outstanding on our revolving credit facility. Given the refining environment and the weak economic conditions that have persisted for the past twelve months, I believe that we have made significant strides in improving our financial performance and reducing debt levels."
