Cox Executive Vice President, Treasurer, & Chief Financial Officer Giant Industries, Inc. (480) 585-8888 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 9, 2004 GIANT INDUSTRIES, INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS Scottsdale, Arizona (November 9, 2004) -- Giant Industries, Inc. [NYSE: GI] today reported net earnings of $6.0 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2004. Net earnings were $7.5 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2003. The Company reported net earnings of $15.5 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2004 compared to net earnings of $9.6 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, in 2003. Giant's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Fred Holliger commented, "Good overall performance from each of our strategic business units contributed to a very solid financial performance in the third quarter. Our refining operations contributed operating earnings of $19.8 million as refining margins continued the strong trend that we have experienced throughout most of this year. Earnings at the Yorktown refinery were negatively impacted in the month of September, as portions of the refinery were shut down for the entire month as we made upgrades at the refinery to enable us to process additional higher acid crude oil. Year- to-date, refining margins at the Four Corners refineries have been approximately $9.50 per barrel and Yorktown refining margins have been approximately $6.00 per barrel." "Our retail operations continued to see growth in fuel volumes and merchandise sales over last year's third quarter as well as year-to-date. Same store fuel volumes increased approximately 4% over last year's third quarter level and same store merchandise sales increased approximately 5% over the prior year third quarter level. Earnings, however, were negatively impacted in the quarter versus the prior year level by lower fuel and merchandise margins." "In the quarter, Phoenix Fuel continued to achieve growth in both wholesale and cardlock fuel volumes. These improved volumes coupled with somewhat steady product margins contributed to increased earnings versus the prior year level." Holliger continued, "As I mentioned earlier, we recently completed upgrades at our Yorktown refinery that increase the amount of higher acid crude oil that it can process from approximately 20,000 to 40,000 barrels per day. This change in crude mix could result in additional pre-tax earnings potentially in excess of $20 million on an annual basis above those we could have expected to see from our operations in a similar market environment. The debt reduction and the refinancing that we completed earlier this year will reduce our annual pre-tax interest payments by approximately $10.6 million in comparison to the 2003 level assuming no future borrowings on our revolving credit facility. These two events combined could result in an increase in annual pre-tax earnings and operating cash flow in excess of $30 million per year." Commenting on current market conditions, Holliger said, "Domestic distillate inventories continue to be tight as we head into what is typically the peak distillate demand season. Gasoline inventories are also running below historical levels for this time of year. These factors could contribute to continued strong financial performance in the fourth quarter of 2004." Giant's senior management will hold a conference call at 1 p.m. ET on November 10, 2004 to discuss this earnings release and provide an update on Company operations.
