Financial results for the fourth quarter 2022 include a $9.6 million financing charge related to inventory backwardation and a $2.5 million released valuation allowance which is reflected as an income tax benefit as a result of the taxable gain generated by the Heartland divestiture subsequent to the quarter end. Schedules reconciling the Company’s GAAP and non-GAAP financial results, including Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are included later in this release (see also “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”, below).

 

 

 

 

Management Commentary

 

“During the fourth quarter, we delivered as promised on our goals of truly demonstrating the significant earnings potential of our Mobile facility.” stated Benjamin P. Cowart, President and CEO of Vertex, who continued, “Our fourth quarter financial results reflect the continued safe, smooth operations at the facility, attractive product yields following the maintenance operations completed in the prior period and the continuation of near record refining margins during the quarter. We remain on track to begin the production of renewable diesel in the second quarter of this year while continuing to benefit from an extremely attractive macro environment facing the conventional fuels business for the foreseeable future. We believe the Company is well positioned to execute on both our strategic goals in the renewable fuels business, as well as our financial goals of streamlining our balance sheet and capital structure in 2023.”

 

Operating Details and Discussion

 

Mobile Refinery Operations

 

The Mobile refinery operations generated $147.1 million of fuels gross profit or $20.50 per barrel during the fourth quarter 2022, its third quarter of operations since being acquired by Vertex. The Mobile refinery financial results include the impact of an inventory backwardation charge in the amount of $9.6 million. Adjusting for the impact of $3.96 of RIN obligations per barrel, refining gross profit at Mobile was $118.7 million, or $16.54 per barrel.

 

Total throughput at the Mobile refinery was 77,964 barrels per day in the fourth quarter, resulting in 104% utilization for the stated operable capacity of approximately 75,000 barrels per day. Total production of finished high-value light products, such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, represented approximately 74% of the total production in the fourth quarter, vs 69% in 3Q22.

 

The benchmark 2-1-1 Gulf Coast crack spread was $33.84 in the fourth quarter 2022, an increase of 134% versus the fourth quarter 2021, supported by reduced inventories for refined fuels, a constrained global refining complex and continued strength in demand for conventional refined products. On a gross profit per barrel basis, excluding non-fuel costs, the Mobile refinery captured $20.50 per barrel or 61% of the Gulf Coast 2-1-1 crack spread, exceeding prior expectations on higher than expected diesel and jet fuel margins. Adjusting for the per barrel RIN obligation, RIN-adjusted gross profit per barrel was $16.54 or 49% of the Gulf Coast 2-1-1 crack spread.

Black Oil & Recovery Segment

 

The legacy Black Oil and Recovery segment generated gross profit of $9.6 million for the fourth quarter 2022. Operating income was $3.4 million in quarter. The prior year period is not comparable due to the reclassification of our segment operating and financial data, which has been consolidated into two primary reportable segments, Black Oil and Recovery and Refining and Marketing, for financial reporting purposes.

 

During the 2022 fourth quarter, the Company’s legacy Marrero (Louisiana) and Columbus (Ohio) refineries operated at 106% and 89% of total utilization, respectively.

 

Renewable Diesel Conversion Project Timeline & Construction Update

 

Renewable diesel conversion project continues on estimated timeline and budget. Vertex’s previously disclosed capital project designed to modify the Mobile, Alabama refinery’s hydrocracking unit to produce renewable diesel fuel on a standalone basis continues to progress along the Company’s planned construction timeline towards mechanical completion in late March 2023, with initial renewable diesel production volumes expected in April 2023. The company took down the hydrocracking unit as planned on January 6th 2023, with approximately 55% of shut-down related work now completed. The company continues to expect the project to reach mechanical completion in late 1Q23. Expected total capital costs for the project are estimated to be approximately $110-$115 million, with approximately $33.2 million or 75% of the company’s total $42.2 million capital expenditure budget for the fourth quarter spent on the project. Recent construction progress milestones as of February 28, 2023 include:

 

●Over 290,000 work hours completed without reportable safety incident

●Hydrocracker outage related work execution is >55% complete

●ISBL equipment nearing completion – catalyst loading to begin in the next week

●Mechanical completion remains on track for late March 2023

●Detailed system handover and commissioning plan in place

 

Balance Sheet and Liquidity Update

 

As of December 31, 2022, Vertex had total long-term debt outstanding of $360.3 million, including long term debt $260.2 million and lease obligations of $100.1 million. The Company had total cash and equivalents of $146.2 million including $4.9 million of restricted cash on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, for a net debt position of $214.1 million. The ratio of net debt to trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA was 1.3x as of December 31, 2022.

 

Management Outlook

 

Based on current data and projected trends, Company management believes that several ongoing factors will continue to support a robust refined product margin environment for the US refining complex in the near to medium term. Primary market drivers include continued strength in global refined product demand, reduced capacity in global refining throughput and below average levels of domestic inventories of refined products including gasoline, and distillate. As a result, management’s expectations for a historically elevated margin environment continue through the first quarter of 2023 and into the second quarter of 2023.

 

All guidance presented below is current as of the time of this release and is subject to change. All prior financial guidance should no longer be relied upon.

 

 

 

 

First Quarter 2023 Financial and Operating Outlook:

 

   1Q 2023 
Projections:  Low   High 
         
Mobile Refinery Total Throughput (bpd)   69,000    72,000 
Direct Operating Expense ($/bbl)  $3.85   $4.00 
           
Capture Rate (GC 2-1-1 Crack Spread)   50.0%   54.0%
           
Capital Expenditures ($ / millions)  $30.0   $35.0 

 

Commodity Derivative Position and Price Risk Management Strategy

 

Vertex may, at times, utilize derivative instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in various commodity prices, including refined fuel products sold, natural gas used in the refining process, as well as feedstocks and refined products held in inventory. Management sets and implements hedging policies in order to improve visibility on cost inputs, sales prices, and resulting cash flow generation for the purpose of planning and budgeting of the business.

 

The company currently has no substantial outstanding commodity derivative hedge positions as of February 28, 2022, and as such, continues to remain exposed to prevailing market prices and conditions for the purchase and sale of all feedstocks and refined products.

PROJECTIONS

 

The financial projections (the “Projections”) included herein were prepared by Vertex in good faith using assumptions believed to be reasonable. A significant number of assumptions about the operations of the business of Vertex were based, in part, on economic, competitive, and general business conditions prevailing at the time the Projections were developed. Any future changes in these conditions, may materially impact the ability of Vertex to achieve the financial results set forth in the Projections. The Projections are based on numerous assumptions, including realization of the operating strategy of Vertex; industry performance; no material adverse changes in applicable legislation or regulations, or the administration thereof, or generally accepted accounting principles; general business and economic conditions; competition; retention of key management and other key employees; absence of material contingent or unliquidated litigation, indemnity, or other claims; minimal changes in current pricing; static material and equipment pricing; no significant increases in interest rates or inflation; and other matters, many of which will be beyond the control of Vertex, and some or all of which may not materialize. The Projections also assume the continued uptime of the Company’s facilities at historical levels and the successful funding of, timely completion of, and successful outcome of, planned capital projects. Additionally, to the extent that the assumptions inherent in the Projections are based upon future business decisions and objectives, they are subject to change. Although the Projections are presented with numerical specificity and are based on reasonable expectations developed by Vertex’s management, the assumptions and estimates underlying the Projections are subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which will be beyond the control of Vertex. Accordingly, the Projections are only estimates and are necessarily speculative in nature. It is expected that some or all of the assumptions in the Projections will not be realized and that actual results will vary from the Projections. Such variations may be material and may increase over time. In light of the foregoing, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Projections. The projected financial information contained herein should not be regarded as a representation or warranty by Vertex, its management, advisors, or any other person that the Projections can or will be achieved. Vertex cautions that the Projections are speculative in nature and based upon subjective decisions and assumptions. As a result, the Projections should not be relied on as necessarily predictive of actual future events.

 

 

 

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

In addition to our results calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), in this earnings release we also present Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are “non-GAAP financial measures” presented as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance. They are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Refining gross margin is defined as revenues less the cost of fuel intakes and other fuel costs. It excludes variable productions costs and depreciation attributable to cost of revenues and other non-operating items in cost of revenues. EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, for continued and discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before other income, impairment loss on assets, unrealized (gain)/loss on hedging activities, (gain)/loss on hedge roll (backwardation), environmental clean-up reserve, loss (gain) on change in value of derivative warrant liability, unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, gain (loss) on intermediation agreement, Shell transaction related and acquisition expenses and stock-based compensation expense (for continued and discontinued operations) and other unusual or non-recurring items. Refining gross margin is defined as gross profit (loss) less the cost of fuel intakes and other fuel costs. Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe they provide additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period. Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We use Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplements to GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to allocate resources and to compare our performance relative to our peers. Additionally, these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework which management uses, in addition to historical operating results, as the basis for financial, operational and planning decisions and present measurements that fourth parties have indicated are useful in assessing the Company and its results of operations. Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are unaudited, and have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash expenditures, or future or contractual commitments; EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, capital expenditures or working capital needs; EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments; although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. In addition, other companies in this industry may calculate Refining Gross Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than Vertex does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. The Company’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the sections titled “Unaudited Reconciliation of Refining Gross Margin and Refining Gross Margin per throughput barrel to Gross Profit”, each included at the end of this release and “Unaudited Consolidated Continued and Discontinued Operations Reconciliations of Net Loss attributable to Vertex Energy, Inc., to Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA” each included at the end of this release.
