SAN ANTONIO, July 26, 2018 -- Valero Energy Corp. (NYSE:VLO) (“Valero”) today reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $845 million, or $1.96 per share, for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $548 million, or $1.23 per share, for the second quarter of 2017. Excluding the special items reflected in the accompanying earnings release tables, second quarter 2018 adjusted net income attributable to Valero stockholders was $928 million, or $2.15 per share, a 75 percent increase in adjusted per share results compared to the second quarter of 2017.
“We ran well while we completed refinery maintenance in the second quarter and delivered solid results,” said Joe Gorder, Valero Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We’re realizing the benefits of our prior investments in light crude processing and hydrocracking capacity.”
Refining
The refining segment reported $1.4 billion of operating income for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $945 million for the second quarter of 2017. Second quarter 2018 operating income includes $21 million of other operating expenses primarily related to costs incurred to respond to and assess the damage caused by a fire at the Texas City Refinery in April. Adjusted operating income, which excludes other operating expenses, was $463 million higher compared to second quarter 2017, driven mainly by higher distillate margins and wider discounts for sour and domestic sweet crude oils versus Brent.
Refinery throughput capacity utilization was 93 percent, and throughput volumes averaged 2.9 million barrels per day in the second quarter of 2018, which is 121,000 barrels per day lower than the second quarter of 2017 due to maintenance in the North Atlantic and U.S. Gulf Coast regions. The company exported a total of 409,000 barrels per day of gasoline and distillate during the second quarter of 2018.
Biofuel blending costs were $131 million in the second quarter of 2018, which is $124 million less than in the second quarter of 2017, mainly due to lower Renewable Identification Number (RIN) prices.
Ethanol
The ethanol segment reported $43 million of operating income for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $31 million for the second quarter of 2017. The increase in operating income is attributed primarily to higher distillers grain prices and stronger production volumes. Ethanol production volumes of 4 million gallons per day were 227,000 gallons per day higher than in the second quarter of 2017.
VLP
The VLP segment, which is composed of Valero Energy Partners LP (the “Partnership”), the company’s majority-owned midstream master limited partnership, reported $83 million of operating income for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $71 million for the second quarter of 2017. The increase in operating income is mostly driven by contributions from the Port Arthur terminal assets and Parkway Pipeline, which the Partnership acquired from Valero in November 2017. These assets were formerly a part of the refining segment.
Corporate and Other
General and administrative expenses were $248 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to $175 million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase is mainly due to adjustments to our environmental liabilities. The effective tax rate was 22 percent for the second quarter of 2018.
Investing and Financing Activities
Capital investments in the second quarter of 2018 totaled $718 million. Included in this amount is $510 million associated with sustaining the business, such as turnaround, catalyst, and regulatory compliance expenditures, with the balance for growth.
Valero returned $672 million to stockholders in the second quarter, of which $345 million was paid as dividends and the balance was used to purchase 2.8 million shares of its common stock. The company also completed a $750 million public offering of 4.35 percent senior notes during the quarter and in June repaid $750 million of senior notes due in 2019.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter was $2.1 billion. Included in this amount is a $581 million benefit from working capital. Excluding working capital, adjusted net cash provided by operating activities was $1.5 billion.
The company continues to target a total payout ratio between 40 and 50 percent of adjusted net cash provided by operating activities for 2018. Valero defines total payout ratio as the sum of dividends and stock buybacks divided by adjusted net cash provided by operating activities.
Liquidity and Financial Position
Valero ended the second quarter of 2018 with $9.1 billion of total debt and $4.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents. The debt to capital ratio, net of $2.0 billion in cash, was 24 percent.
Strategic Update
Valero’s investment in Diamond Pipeline continued to pay out in the second quarter as discounts for WTI crude relative to Brent widened.
“We’re enjoying the benefits of lower crude costs and optionality at our Memphis refinery provided by the Diamond Pipeline,” said Gorder. “Our U.S. Mid-Continent refineries are also poised to capture additional margin opportunities from increased access to Permian Basin crude oils when the Sunrise Pipeline expansion starts up in early 2019.”
The company continued to advance its growth investments to increase refining margins, strategically expand its supply chain, and reduce secondary costs. The expansion of the Diamond Green Diesel plant to 18,000 barrels per day of capacity is expected to be completed in August. Work is also moving forward as scheduled on the Houston and St. Charles alkylation units, the Central Texas pipelines and terminals, the Pasadena products terminal, and the Pembroke cogeneration plant.
The company reaffirmed its 2018 capital investment plans of $2.7 billion, of which $1.0 billion is for growth projects and $1.7 billion is for sustaining the business.
Conference Call
Valero’s senior management will hold a conference call at 10 a.m. ET today to discuss this earnings release and to provide an update on operations and strategy.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES
| (a) | Cost of materials and other for the six months ended June 30, 2018 includes a benefit of $170 million for the biodiesel blender’s tax credit attributable to volumes blended during 2017. The benefit was recognized in February 2018 because the legislation authorizing the credit was passed and signed into law in that month. The $170 million pre-tax benefit is included in the refining segment and includes $80 million attributable to noncontrolling interest and $90 million attributable to Valero Energy Corp. stockholders. | |
| (b) | Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2017-07, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715),” which resulted in the reclassification of the non-service component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost from operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) to “other income (expense), net.” This resulted in an increase of $14 million and $21 million in operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and a decrease of $3 million and $1 million in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. | |
| (c) | Other operating expenses reflects expenses that are not associated with our cost of sales. Other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes $14 million of costs to respond to and assess the damage caused by a fire in the alkylation unit at our Texas City Refinery on April 19, 2018. In addition, other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes repair costs incurred at certain of our refineries due to damage associated with inclement weather events in 2018 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017. | |
| (d) | General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes a charge of $56 million and $108 million, respectively, for an environmental reserve adjustment associated with certain non-operating sites. | |
| (e) | Other income (expense), net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes a $38 million charge from the early redemption of $750 million 9.375 percent senior notes due March 15, 2019. | |
| (f) | As a result of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 enacted on December 22, 2017, the U.S. statutory income tax rate was reduced from 35 percent to 21 percent. Therefore, earnings from our U.S. operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are now taxed at 21 percent, resulting in a lower effective tax rate compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. | |
| (g) | We use certain financial measures (as noted below) in the earnings release tables and accompanying earnings release that are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are considered to be non-GAAP measures. | |
| We have defined these non-GAAP measures and believe they are useful to the external users of our financial statements, including industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We believe these measures are useful to assess our ongoing financial performance because, when reconciled to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures, they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and that may obscure our underlying business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures nor should they be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define them differently, which diminishes their utility. | ||
| Non-GAAP measures are as follows: | ||
- Adjusted net income attributable to Valero Energy Corp. stockholders is defined as net income attributable to Valero Energy Corp. stockholders excluding the items noted below, along with their related income tax effect. We have excluded these items because we believe that they are not indicative of our core operating performance in 2018 and that their exclusion results in an important measure of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our underlying business results and trends. The basis for our belief with respect to each excluded item is provided below.
- Blender’s tax credit – The blender’s tax credit is attributable to volumes blended during 2017 and is not related to 2018 activities, as described in note (a).
- Texas City Refinery fire expenses – The costs incurred to respond to and assess the damage caused by the fire that occurred at the Texas City Refinery (see note (c)) are specific to that event and are not ongoing costs incurred in our operations.
- Environmental reserve adjustment – The environmental reserve adjustment is attributable to sites that were shut down by prior owners and subsequently acquired by us (referred to by us as non-operating sites), as described in note (d).
- Loss on early redemption of debt – The penalty and other expenses incurred in connection with the early redemption of our 9.375 percent senior notes due in March 15, 2019 (see note (e)) are not associated with the ongoing costs of our borrowing and financing activities.
- Adjusted earnings per common share – assuming dilution is defined as adjusted net income attributable to Valero Energy Corp. stockholders divided by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding in the applicable period, assuming dilution.
- Refining margin is defined as refining operating income excluding the blender’s tax credit, operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), other operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense. We believe refining margin is an important measure of our refining segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance.
- Ethanol margin is defined as ethanol operating income excluding operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and depreciation and amortization expense. We believe ethanol margin is an important measure of our ethanol segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance.
- Adjusted refining operating income is defined as refining segment operating income excluding the 2017 blender’s tax credit received in 2018 (see note (a)) and other operating expenses. We believe adjusted refining operating income is an important measure of our refining segment’s operating and financial performance because it excludes items that are not indicative of that segment’s core operating performance.
- Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding changes in current assets and current liabilities. We believe adjusted net cash provided by operating activities is an important measure of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our ability to generate cash to fund our investing and financing activities.
| (h) | The refining segment regions reflected herein contain the following refineries: U.S. Gulf Coast- Corpus Christi East, Corpus Christi West, Houston, Meraux, Port Arthur, St. Charles, Texas City, and Three Rivers Refineries; U.S. Mid-Continent- Ardmore, McKee, and Memphis Refineries; North Atlantic- Pembroke and Quebec City Refineries; and U.S. West Coast- Benicia and Wilmington Refineries. | |
| (i) | Primarily includes petrochemicals, gas oils, No. 6 fuel oil, petroleum coke, sulfur, and asphalt. | |
| (j) | Valero uses certain operating statistics (as noted below) in the earnings release tables and the accompanying earnings release to evaluate performance between comparable periods. Different companies may calculate them in different ways. | |
| All per barrel of throughput and per gallon of production amounts are calculated by dividing the associated dollar amount by the throughput volumes, production volumes, pipeline transportation throughput volumes, or terminaling throughput volumes for the period, as applicable. | ||
| Throughput volumes, production volumes, pipeline transportation throughput volumes, and terminaling throughput volumes are calculated by multiplying throughput volumes per day, production volumes per day, pipeline transportation throughput volumes per day, and terminaling throughput volumes per day (as provided in the accompanying tables), respectively, by the number of days in the applicable period. | ||
