PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

Note 1—Overview

Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Par” or the “Company”) own and operate market-leading energy and infrastructure businesses. Our strategy is to acquire and develop businesses in logistically-complex markets. Currently, we operate in three primary business segments:

1) Refining - We own and operate four refineries with total throughput capacity of over 200 thousand barrels per day in Hawaii, Wyoming, and Washington.

2) Retail - Our retail outlets in Hawaii, Washington, and Idaho sell gasoline, diesel, and retail merchandise through Hele, “76”, “Cenex®,” and “Zip Trip®” branded sites, “nomnom” branded company-operated convenience stores, 7-Eleven operated convenience stores, other sites operated by third parties, and unattended cardlock stations.

3) Logistics - We operate an extensive multi-modal logistics network spanning the Pacific, the Northwest, and the Rockies that primarily transports and stores our crude oil and refined products for our refineries and transports refined products to our retail sites or third-party purchasers.

As of June 30, 2020, we owned a 46.0% equity investment in Laramie Energy, LLC (“Laramie Energy”). Laramie Energy is focused on producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado.

Our Corporate and Other reportable segment primarily includes general and administrative costs.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Par and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts previously reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the complete fiscal year or for any other period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the related disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

The worldwide spread and severity of a new coronavirus, referred to as COVID-19, and certain developments in the global crude oil markets have impacted our businesses, people, and operations. We are actively responding to these ongoing matters and many uncertainties remain. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of the situation, the full magnitude of the COVID-19 impact on our estimates and assumptions, financial condition, future results of operations, and future cash flows and liquidity is uncertain and has been and may continue to be material.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our sales of refined products. Credit limits and/or prepayment requirements are set based on such factors as the customer’s financial results, credit rating, payment history, and industry and are reviewed annually for customers with material credit limits. Credit allowances are reviewed at least quarterly based on changes in the customer’s creditworthiness due to economic conditions, liquidity, and business strategy as publicly reported and through

PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

discussions between the customer and the Company. We establish provisions for losses on trade receivables based on the estimated credit loss we expect to incur over the life of the receivable.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, trade receivables were $114.5 million and $228.7 million, net of allowances of $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. We did not have a material change in our allowances during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.

Cost Classifications

Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) includes the hydrocarbon-related costs of inventory sold, transportation costs of delivering product to customers, crude oil consumed in the refining process, costs to satisfy our Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) obligations, and certain hydrocarbon fees and taxes. Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) also includes the unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and inventory valuation adjustments. Certain direct operating expenses related to our logistics segment are also included in Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation).

Operating expense (excluding depreciation) includes direct costs of labor, maintenance and services, energy and utility costs, property taxes, and environmental compliance costs, as well as chemicals and catalysts and other direct operating expenses.

The following table summarizes depreciation and finance lease amortization expense excluded from each line item in our condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Cost of revenues	$	5,867	$	3,950	$	10,495	$	7,816
Operating expense	14,115		13,635		28,566		26,582
General and administrative expense	835		762		1,636		1,544

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no developments to recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the following:

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). This ASU provides for optional expedients and allowable exceptions to GAAP to ease the potential burden in recognizing the effects of reference rate reform, especially in regards to the cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). ASU 2020-04 is applicable to contract modifications that meet certain requirements and are entered into between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. We have several contracts that reference LIBOR, some of which terminate after LIBOR is anticipated to cease being reported in 2021. We are currently reviewing the effect that the election of ASU 2020-04 would have on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Accounting Principles Adopted

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended by other ASUs issued since June 2016 (“ASU 2016-13”), using the modified retrospective transition method. Under this optional transition method, information presented prior to January 1, 2020 has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period. There was no adjustment to our opening retained earnings as a result of the adoption of this ASU. ASU 2016-13 requires expected credit losses on financial instruments to be recorded over the estimated life of the financial instrument. Prior to this ASU, the guidance required recording of credit losses when those losses were incurred. ASU 2016-13 is applicable to credit losses and allowances on loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and certain other financial assets, but excludes derivative assets under FASB ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.” Our adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which eliminated Step 2 from the current goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity is no longer required to determine a goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business

PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

combination. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This ASU changed the policy under which we perform our goodwill impairment assessments by eliminating Step 2 of the test.

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). This ASU amended, added, and removed certain disclosure requirements under FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement.” The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”), using the prospective method and information that was presented prior to January 1, 2020 has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period. This ASU required entities to account for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing agreement that is a service contract under the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 350, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” which results in a capitalized and amortizable intangible asset. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

As of June 30, 2020, we had a 46.0% ownership interest in Laramie Energy. Laramie Energy is focused on producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado.

Laramie Energy has a $400 million revolving credit facility with a borrowing base currently set at $202.5 million that is secured by a lien on its natural gas and crude oil properties and related assets. As of June 30, 2020, the balance outstanding on the revolving credit facility was approximately $197.5 million. We are guarantors of Laramie Energy’s credit facility, with recourse limited to the pledge of our equity interest in our wholly owned subsidiary, Par Piceance Energy Equity, LLC. Under the terms of its credit facility, Laramie Energy is generally prohibited from making future cash distributions to its owners, including us. On April 23, 2020, Laramie Energy extended the credit facility from its original maturity date of December 15, 2020 to December 15, 2021.

At March 31, 2020, we conducted an impairment evaluation of our investment in Laramie Energy because of (i) the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) an increase in the weighted-average cost of capital for energy companies, and (iii) continuing declines in natural gas prices through the first quarter of 2020. Based on our evaluation, we determined that the estimated fair value of our investment in Laramie Energy was $1.9 million, compared to a carrying value of $47.2 million at March 31, 2020. The fair value estimate was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on natural gas forward strip prices as of March 31, 2020 for the years 2020 and 2021 of the forecast, and a blend of forward strip pricing and third-party analyst pricing for years 2022 through 2028. Other significant inputs used in the discounted cash flow analysis included proved and unproved reserves information, forecasts of operating expenditures, and the applicable discount rate. As a result, we recorded an other-than temporary impairment charge of $45.3 million in Equity earnings (losses) from Laramie Energy, LLC on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The change in our equity investment in Laramie Energy is as follows (in thousands):

Note 4—Acquisitions

Washington Acquisition

On November 26, 2018, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire U.S. Oil & Refining Co. and certain affiliated entities (collectively, “U.S. Oil”), a privately-held downstream business (the “Washington Acquisition”). The Washington Acquisition included a 42 Mbpd refinery, a marine terminal, a unit train-capable rail loading terminal, and 2.9 MMbbls of refined product and crude oil storage. The refinery and associated logistics system are strategically located in Tacoma, Washington, and currently serve the Pacific Northwest market. On January 11, 2019, we completed the Washington Acquisition for a total purchase price of $326.5 million, including acquired working capital, consisting of cash consideration of $289.5 million and approximately 2.4 million shares of Par’s common stock with a fair value of $37.0 million issued to the seller of U.S. Oil. The cash consideration was funded in part through cash on hand, proceeds from borrowings under a new term loan facility entered into with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, of $250.0 million (the “Term Loan B”), and proceeds from borrowings under a term loan from the Bank of Hawaii of $45.0 million (the “Par Pacific Term Loan”). Please read Note 10—Debt for further information on the Term Loan B and Par Pacific Term Loan. In January 2019, we incurred $5.4 million of commitment fees associated with the funding of the Washington Acquisition. Such commitment fees are presented as Debt extinguishment and commitment costs on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

In connection with the consummation of the Washington Acquisition, we assumed the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement with Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc. (“MLC”) that provides a structured financing arrangement based on U.S. Oil’s crude oil and refined products inventories and associated accounts receivable. Please read Note 9—Inventory Financing Agreements for further information on the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement.

We accounted for the Washington Acquisition as a business combination whereby the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of the acquisition. Goodwill recognized in the transaction was attributable to opportunities expected to arise from combining our operations with those of the Washington refinery and the utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill recognized as a result of the Washington Acquisition is not expected to be deductible for income tax reporting purposes.

As of December 31, 2019, we finalized the Washington Acquisition purchase price allocation. We incurred $2.2 million of acquisition costs related to the Washington Acquisition for the six months ended June 30, 2019. These costs are included in Acquisition and integration costs on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The results of operations of U.S. Oil were included in our results beginning on January 11, 2019. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, our results of operations included revenues of $309.8 million and $555.6 million and income before income taxes of $23.2 million and $20.1 million related to U.S. Oil, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the change in the carrying amount of goodwill was as follows (in thousands):



Balance at December 31, 2019	$	195,919
Impairment expense	(67,922		)
Balance at June 30, 2020	$	127,997

At March 31, 2020, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test of all of our reporting units due to (i) the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and (ii) a steep decline in current and forecasted prices and demand for crude oil and refined products. As part of our quantitative impairment test, we compared the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. In assessing the fair value of the reporting units, we primarily utilized a market approach based on observable multiples for comparable companies within our industry. Our refining reporting units in Hawaii and Washington were fully impaired and the goodwill associated with our retail reporting unit in Washington and Idaho was partially impaired, resulting in a charge of $67.9 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The goodwill impairment expense was allocated to the Refining segment ($38.1 million) and to the Retail segment ($29.8 million).

Note 9—Inventory Financing Agreements

Supply and Offtake Agreements

On June 1, 2015, we entered into several agreements with J. Aron & Company LLC (“J. Aron”) to support the operations of our Par East Hawaii refinery (the “Supply and Offtake Agreements”). The Supply and Offtake Agreements mature on May 31, 2021 and have a one-year extension option upon mutual agreement of the parties. Under the Supply and Offtake Agreements, J. Aron may enter into agreements with third parties whereby J. Aron will remit payments to these third parties for refinery procurement contracts for which we will become immediately obligated to reimburse J. Aron. As of June 30, 2020, we had no obligations due to J. Aron under this contractual undertakings agreement. On December 5, 2018, we amended the Supply and Offtake Agreements to account for additional processing capacity to be provided by the Par West Hawaii refinery. The amendment to the Supply and Offtake Agreements also (i) required us to increase our margin requirements by an aggregate $2.5 million by making certain additional margin payments on December 19, 2018, March 1, 2019, and June 3, 2019, and (ii) only allows dividends, payments, or other distributions with respect to any equity interests in Par Hawaii Refining, LLC (“PHR”) in limited and restricted circumstances.

During the term of the Supply and Offtake Agreements, J. Aron and we will identify mutually acceptable contracts for the purchase of crude oil from third parties. Per the Supply and Offtake Agreements, J. Aron will provide up to 150 Mbpd of crude oil to our Hawaii refineries. Additionally, we agreed to sell and J. Aron agreed to buy, at market prices, refined products produced at our Hawaii refineries. We will then repurchase the refined products from J. Aron prior to selling the refined products to our retail operations or to third parties. The agreements also provide for the lease of crude oil and certain refined product storage facilities to J. Aron. Following the expiration or termination of the Supply and Offtake Agreements, we are obligated to purchase the crude oil and refined product inventories then-owned by J. Aron and located at the leased storage facilities at then-current

market prices.

Though title to the crude oil and certain refined product inventories resides with J. Aron, the Supply and Offtake Agreements are accounted for similar to a product financing arrangement; therefore, the crude oil and refined products inventories will continue to be included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets until processed and sold to a third party. Each reporting period, we record a liability in an amount equal to the amount we expect to pay to repurchase the inventory held by J. Aron based on current market prices.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we received approximately $0.2 million of inventory intermediation benefits and incurred approximately $6.7 million of inventory intermediation fees related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, respectively, which are included in Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred approximately $10.2 million and $15.6 million of inventory intermediation fees related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Interest expense and financing costs, net, on our condensed consolidated statements of operations includes approximately $0.8 million and $2.1 million of expenses related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, Interest expense and financing costs, net on our condensed consolidated statements of operations includes approximately $1.4 million and $3.1 million of expenses related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, respectively.

The Supply and Offtake Agreements also include a deferred payment arrangement (“Deferred Payment Arrangement”) whereby we can defer payments owed under the agreements up to the lesser of $165 million or 85% of the eligible accounts receivable and inventory. Upon execution of the Supply and Offtake Agreements, we paid J. Aron a deferral arrangement fee of $1.3 million. The deferred amounts under the Deferred Payment Arrangement bear interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum. We also agreed to pay a deferred payment availability fee equal to 0.75% of the unused capacity under the Deferred Payment Arrangement. Amounts outstanding under the Deferred Payment Arrangement are included in Obligations under inventory financing agreements on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the amount outstanding under the Deferred Payment Arrangement are included within Cash flows from financing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the capacity of the Deferred Payment Arrangement was $75.6 million and $155.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $47.2 million and $97.5 million outstanding, respectively, under the Deferred Payment Arrangements.

Under the Supply and Offtake Agreements, we pay or receive certain fees from J. Aron based on changes in market prices over time. In 2017, we fixed the market fee for the period from June 1, 2018 through May 2021 for $2.2 million. In 2020, we fixed the market fee for the period from February 1, 2020 through April 1, 2021 for an additional $0.8 million to be settled in fifteen payments. The receivable from J. Aron was recorded as a reduction to our Obligations under inventory financing agreements as allowed under the Supply and Offtake Agreements. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the receivable was $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement

In connection with the consummation of the Washington Acquisition, we became a party to the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement with MLC that provides a structured financing arrangement based on U.S. Oil’s crude oil and refined products inventories and associated accounts receivable. Under this arrangement, U.S. Oil purchases crude oil supplied from third-party suppliers and MLC provides credit support for such crude oil purchases. MLC’s credit support can consist of either providing a payment guaranty, causing the issuance of a letter of credit from a third-party issuing bank, or purchasing crude oil directly from third parties on our behalf. U.S. Oil holds title to all crude oil and refined products inventories at all times and pledges such inventories, together with all receivables arising from the sales of the same, exclusively to MLC. On November 1, 2019, we and MLC amended the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement and extended the term through June 30, 2021, with an option for us to early terminate as early as March 31, 2021.

During the remaining term of the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement, MLC will make receivable advances to U.S. Oil based on an advance rate of 95% of eligible receivables, up to a total receivables advance maximum of $90.0 million (the “MLC receivable advances”), and additional advances based on crude oil and products inventories. Changes in the amount outstanding under the MLC receivable advances are included within Cash flows from financing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The MLC receivable advances bear interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum. We also agreed to pay an availability fee equal to 1.50% of the unused capacity under the MLC receivable advances. As part of the November 1, 2019 amendment, the availability fee was amended to equal 0.75% of the unused capacity under the MLC receivable advances. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our outstanding balance under the MLC receivable advances was equal to our borrowing base of $41.6 million and $63.8 million, respectively. Additionally, as of June 30,

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

Pac Petroleum, LLC and HIE Retail, LLC), Hermes Consolidated, LLC, and Wyoming Pipeline Company (collectively, the “ABL Borrowers”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 21, 2017 (the “ABL Credit Facility”) with certain lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent. The ABL Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit facility that provides for revolving loans and for the issuance of letters of credit (the “ABL Revolver”). On July 24, 2018, we amended the ABL Credit Facility to increase the maximum principal amount at any time outstanding of the ABL Revolver by $10 million to $85 million, subject to a borrowing base. As of June 30, 2020, the ABL Revolver had no outstanding balance and a borrowing base of approximately $43.3 million.

5.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2021

As of June 30, 2020, the outstanding principal amount of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes was $48.7 million, the unamortized discount and deferred financing cost was $2.7 million, and the carrying amount of the liability component was $46.0 million. During May, June, and December 2019, we entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements with a limited number of holders (the “Noteholders”) to repurchase $66.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes held by the Noteholders for an aggregate of $18.6 million in cash and approximately 3.2 million shares of our common stock with a fair value of $74.3 million. We recognized a loss of approximately $3.7 million related to the May and June extinguishments of the repurchased 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Term Loan B Facility

On January 11, 2019, Par Petroleum, LLC and Par Petroleum Finance Corp. entered into a new term loan facility with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Term Loan B Facility”), pursuant to which the lenders made the Term Loan B to the borrowers in the principal amount of $250.0 million on the closing date. The net proceeds from Term Loan B totaled $232.0 million after deducting the original issue discount, deferred financing costs, and commitment and other fees and were used to finance the Washington Acquisition.

Loans under the Term Loan B bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted LIBOR (as defined in the Term Loan B Facility) plus an applicable margin of 6.75% or at a rate per annum equal to Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan B Facility) plus an applicable margin of 5.75%. In addition to the quarterly interest payments, Term Loan B requires quarterly principal payments of $3.1 million. Term Loan B matures on January 11, 2026.

Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement

On January 9, 2019, we entered into a loan agreement (the “Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement”) with Bank of Hawaii (“BOH”), pursuant to which BOH made a loan to the company in the principal amount of $45.0 million, the net proceeds of which were used to finance the Washington Acquisition.

During the term of the Par Pacific Term Loan, the interest payments were due monthly and were based on the outstanding principal balance multiplied by a floating rate equal to 3.50% above the applicable LIBOR rate (as defined in the Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement) subject to an increased default interest rate in the event of a default. The Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement was originally scheduled to mature on July 9, 2019. We terminated and repaid all amounts outstanding under the Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement on March 29, 2019 using the proceeds of the Retail Property Term Loan (as defined below). We recognized approximately $0.1 million of debt extinguishment costs related to the unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Retail Property Term Loan

On March 29, 2019, Par Pacific Hawaii Property Company, LLC (“Par Property LLC”), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a term loan agreement (the “Retail Property Term Loan”) with BOH, which provided a term loan in the principal amount of $45.0 million. The proceeds from the Retail Property Term Loan were used to repay and terminate the Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement.

The Retail Property Term Loan bears interest based on a floating rate equal to the applicable LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.5%. Principal and interest payments are payable monthly based on a 20-year amortization schedule, principal prepayments are allowed subject to applicable prepayment penalties, and the remaining unpaid principal, plus any unpaid interest or other charges, is due on April 1, 2024, the maturity date of the Retail Property Term Loan.

PHL Term Loan

On April 13, 2020, PHL, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a Term Loan Agreement (“PHL Term Loan”) with American Savings Bank F.S.B., which provided a term loan in the principal amount of approximately $6.0 million. The proceeds from the PHL Term Loan were used to finance PHL’s equity in certain real property. The PHL Term Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 2.750% per annum. Principal and interest payments are payable monthly based on a 25-year amortization schedule, principal prepayments are allowed with no prepayment charge, and the remaining principal, plus any unpaid interest or other charges, is due on April 15, 2030, the maturity date of the PHL Term Loan. The PHL Term Loan is guaranteed by Par Petroleum, LLC.

12.875% Senior Secured Notes Due 2026

On June 5, 2020, the Issuers completed the issuance and sale of $105 million in aggregate principal amount of 12.875% Senior Secured Notes in a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds of $99.0 million from the sale will be used for general corporate purposes.

The 12.875% Senior Secured Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 12.875% per year (payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2021) and will mature on January 15, 2026. The indenture for the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes also allows for optional early redemptions, some of which require the Issuers to pay a premium and some of which have certain other restrictions related to timing and the maximum redeemable principal amount.

The obligations of the borrowers under the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed by the Issuers’ existing and future direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than Par Petroleum Finance Corp.) and by Par Pacific Holdings, Inc., with respect to principal and interest only. The 12.875% Senior Secured Notes are secured on a pari passu basis by first priority liens (subject to the relative priority of permitted liens) on substantially all of the property and assets of the Issuers and the subsidiary guarantors, but excluding certain assets which are collateral under the ABL Credit Facility, the Supply and Offtake Agreements, and the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement.

Cross Default Provisions

Included within each of our debt agreements are affirmative and negative covenants, and customary cross default provisions, that require the repayment of amounts outstanding on demand unless the triggering payment default or acceleration is remedied, rescinded, or waived. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all of our debt instruments.

Guarantors

In connection with our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 6, 2019 and declared effective on February 15, 2019 (“Registration Statement”), we may sell non-convertible debt securities and other securities in one or more offerings with an aggregate initial offering price of up to $750.0 million. Any non-convertible debt securities issued under the Registration Statement may be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (except for customary release provisions), on a joint and several basis, by some or all of our subsidiaries, other than subsidiaries that are “minor” within the meaning of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). We have no “independent assets or operations” within the meaning of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X and certain of the Guarantor Subsidiaries may be subject to restrictions on their ability to distribute funds to us, whether by cash dividends, loans, or advances.

Note 11—Derivatives

Commodity Derivatives

We utilize commodity derivative contracts to manage our price exposure in our inventory positions, future purchases of crude oil, future purchases and sales of refined products, and crude oil consumption in our refining process. The derivative contracts that we execute to manage our price risk include exchange traded futures, options, and over-the-counter (“OTC”) swaps. Our futures, options, and OTC swaps are marked-to-market and changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized within Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We are obligated to repurchase the crude oil and refined products from J. Aron at the termination of the Supply and Offtake Agreements. Our Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement contains forward purchase obligations for certain volumes of crude oil and refined products that are required to be settled at market prices on a monthly basis. We have determined that these obligations under the Supply and Offtake Agreements and Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement contain embedded derivatives. As such, we have accounted for these embedded derivatives at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded in Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

We have entered into forward purchase contracts for crude oil and forward purchases and sales contracts of refined products. We elect the normal purchases normal sales (“NPNS”) exception for all forward contracts that meet the definition of a derivative and are not expected to net settle. Any gains and losses with respect to these forward contracts designated as NPNS are not reflected in earnings until the delivery occurs.

Our condensed consolidated balance sheets present derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis. Please read Note 12—Fair Value Measurements for the gross fair value and net carrying value of our derivative instruments. Our cash margin that is required as collateral deposits cannot be offset against the fair value of open contracts except in the event of default.

Our open futures and OTC swaps expire at various dates through December 2020. At June 30, 2020, our open commodity derivative contracts represented (in thousands of barrels):



Contract type	Purchases	Sales		Net
Futures	415	—		415
Swaps	6,920	(6,920	)	—
Total	7,335	(6,920	)	415

At June 30, 2020, we also had option collars of 75 thousand barrels of crude oil per month that economically hedge our internally consumed fuel at our Hawaii refineries. These option collars have a weighted-average strike price ranging from a floor of $48.77 per barrel to a ceiling of $65.00 per barrel and expire in December 2020.

Interest Rate Derivatives

We are exposed to interest rate volatility in our ABL Revolver, Term Loan B Facility, Retail Property Term Loan, Supply and Offtake Agreements, and Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement. We may utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2020, we had entered into an interest rate swap at an average fixed rate of 3.91% in exchange for the floating interest rate and on the notional amounts due under the Retail Property Term Loan. This swap expires on April 1, 2024, the maturity date of the Retail Property Term Loan.

Our 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes include a redemption option and a related make-whole premium which represent an embedded derivative that is not clearly and closely related to the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes. As such, we have accounted for this embedded derivative at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded in Interest expense and financing costs, net, on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2020, this embedded derivative was deemed to have a de minimis fair value.

Note 12—Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Common Stock Warrants

As of December 31, 2019, we had 354,350 common stock warrants outstanding. We estimated the fair value of our outstanding common stock warrants using the difference between the strike price of the warrant and the market price of our common stock, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. As of December 31, 2019, the warrants had a weighted-average exercise price of $0.09 and a remaining term of 2.67 years. The estimated fair value of the common stock warrants was $23.16 per share as of December 31, 2019.

During January and March 2020, one of our stockholders and its affiliates exercised 354,350 common stock warrants with a fair value of $3.9 million. As a result of this cashless transaction, 350,542 shares of common stock were issued. As of June 30, 2020, we had no common stock warrants outstanding.

Derivative Instruments

We utilize commodity derivative contracts to manage our price exposure to our inventory positions, future purchases of crude oil, future purchases and sales of refined products, and cost of crude oil consumed in the refining process. We may utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk.

We classify financial assets and liabilities according to the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. These include our exchange traded futures. Level 2 instruments are valued using quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Our Level 2 instruments include OTC swaps and options. These derivatives are valued using market quotations published by commodity exchanges. Level 3 instruments are valued using significant unobservable inputs that are not readily observable in the market. The valuation of the embedded derivatives related to our J. Aron repurchase and MLC terminal obligations is based on estimates of the prices and differentials assuming settlement at the end of the reporting period. Estimates of the J. Aron and MLC settlement prices are based on observable inputs, such as Brent/WTI indices, and contractual price differentials as defined in the Supply and Offtake Agreements and Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement. Such contractual differentials vary by location and by the type of product and range from a discount of $11.73 per barrel to a premium of $34.72 per barrel as of June 30, 2020. Contractual price differentials are considered unobservable inputs; therefore, these embedded derivatives are classified as Level 3 instruments. We do not have other commodity derivatives classified as Level 3 at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. Please read Note 11—Derivatives for further information on derivatives.

(1)	The fair value measurements of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes, 7.75% Senior Secured Notes, Term Loan B Facility, and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes are considered Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy as discussed below.


(2)	The fair value measurements of the common stock warrants, Mid Pac Term Loan, Retail Property Term Loan, and PHL Term Loan are considered Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy.


(3)	The carrying value of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes excludes the fair value of the equity component, which was classified as equity upon issuance.

The fair value of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes was determined by aggregating the fair value of the liability and equity components of the notes. The fair value of the liability component of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis in which the projected interest and principal payments were discounted at an estimated market yield for a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The equity component was estimated based on the Black-Scholes model for a call option with strike price equal to the conversion price, a term matching the remaining life of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes, and an implied volatility based on market values of options outstanding as of June 30, 2020. The fair value of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes is considered a Level 2 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the 7.75% Senior Secured Notes, Term Loan B Facility, and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes were determined using a market approach based on quoted prices. The inputs used to measure the fair value are classified as Level 2

inputs within the fair value hierarchy because the 7.75% Senior Secured Notes, Term Loan B Facility, and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes may not be actively traded.

The Retail Property Term Loan is subject to a market-based floating interest rate. The Mid Pac Term Loan and PHL Term Loan are subject to fixed interest rates of 4.375% and 2.750%, respectively. The carrying values of our Retail Property, Mid Pac, and PHL Term Loans were determined to approximate fair value as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The fair value of all non-derivative financial instruments recorded in current assets, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and trade accounts receivable, and current liabilities, including accounts payable, approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

Note 13—Leases

We have cancelable and non-cancelable finance and operating lease obligations for the lease of land, vehicles, office space, retail facilities, and other facilities used in the storage and transportation of crude oil and refined products. Most of our leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 30 years or more. There are no material lease arrangements where we are the lessor and no material residual value guarantees associated with any of our leases.

Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various lawsuits and other contingent matters. We establish accruals for specific legal matters when we determine that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

Like other petroleum refiners, our operations are subject to extensive and periodically-changing federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management activities. Many of these regulations are becoming increasingly stringent and the cost of compliance can be expected to increase over time. Periodically, we receive communications from various federal, state, and local governmental authorities asserting violations of environmental laws and/or regulations. These governmental entities may also propose or assess fines or require corrective actions for these asserted violations. We intend to respond in a timely manner to all such communications and to take appropriate corrective action. Except as disclosed below, we do not anticipate that any such matters currently asserted will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Wyoming Refinery

Our Wyoming refinery is subject to a number of consent decrees, orders, and settlement agreements involving the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and/or the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, some of which date back to the late 1970s and several of which remain in effect, requiring further actions at the Wyoming refinery. The largest cost component arising from these various decrees relates to the investigation, monitoring, and remediation of soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment contamination associated with the facility’s historic operations. Investigative work by Hermes Consolidated LLC, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wyoming Pipeline Company (collectively, “WRC” or “Wyoming Refining”) and negotiations with the relevant agencies as to remedial approaches remain ongoing on a number of aspects of the contamination, meaning that investigation, monitoring, and remediation costs are not reasonably estimable for some elements of these efforts. As of June 30, 2020, we have accrued $16.0 million for the well-understood components of these efforts based on current information, approximately one-third of which we expect to incur in the next five years and the remainder to be incurred over approximately 30 years.

Additionally, we believe the Wyoming refinery will need to modify or close a series of wastewater impoundments in the next several years and replace those impoundments with a new wastewater treatment system. Based on current information, reasonable estimates we have received suggest costs of approximately $11.6 million to design and construct a new wastewater treatment system.

Finally, among the various historic consent decrees, orders, and settlement agreements into which Wyoming Refining has entered, there are several penalty orders associated with exceedances of permitted limits by the Wyoming refinery’s wastewater discharges. Although the frequency of these exceedances has declined over time, Wyoming Refining may become subject to new penalty enforcement action in the next several years, which could involve penalties in excess of $100,000.

Regulation of Greenhouse Gases

The EPA regulates greenhouse gases (“GHG”) under the federal Clean Air Act (“CAA”). New construction or material expansions that meet certain GHG emissions thresholds will likely require that, among other things, a GHG permit be issued in accordance with the federal CAA regulations and we will be required, in connection with such permitting, to undertake a technology review to determine appropriate controls to be implemented with the project in order to reduce GHG emissions.

Furthermore, the EPA is currently developing refinery-specific GHG regulations and performance standards that are expected to impose GHG emission limits and/or technology requirements. These control requirements may affect a wide range of refinery operations. Any such controls could result in material increased compliance costs, additional operating restrictions for our business, and an increase in the cost of the products we produce, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Additionally, the EPA’s final rule updating standards that control toxic air emissions from petroleum refineries imposed additional controls and monitoring requirements on flaring operations, storage tanks, sulfur recovery units, delayed coking units, and required fenceline monitoring. Compliance with this rule has not had a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows to date.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

In 2007, the State of Hawaii passed Act 234, which required that GHG emissions be rolled back on a statewide basis to 1990 levels by the year 2020. In June of 2014, the Hawaii Department of Health (“DOH”) adopted regulations that require each major facility to reduce CO₂ emissions by 16% by 2020 relative to a calendar year 2010 baseline (the first year in which GHG emissions were reported to the EPA under 40 CFR Part 98). The Hawaii refineries’ capacity to materially reduce fuel use and GHG emissions is limited because most energy conservation measures have already been implemented over the past 20 years. The regulation allows for “partnering” with other facilities (principally power plants) that have already dramatically reduced greenhouse emissions or are on schedule to reduce CO₂ emissions in order to comply independently with the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standards. The DOH’s GHG regulation allows, and the Hawaii refineries submitted, a GHG reduction plan, which includes an assessment of alternatives which demonstrates that additional reductions are not cost-effective or necessary because the State of Hawaii has already reached the 1990 levels according to a report prepared by the DOH in January 2019.

In 2007, the U.S. Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security Act (the “EISA”) which, among other things, set a target fuel economy standard of 35 miles per gallon for the combined fleet of cars and light trucks in the U.S. by model year 2020 and contained an expanded Renewable Fuel Standard (the “RFS”). In August 2012, the EPA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) jointly adopted regulations that establish an average industry fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon by model year 2025. On August 8, 2018, the EPA and NHTSA jointly proposed to revise existing fuel economy standards for model years 2021-2025 and to set standards for 2026 for the first time. On March 31, 2020, the agencies released updated fuel economy and vehicle emissions standards, which provide for an increase in stringency by 1.5% each year through model year 2026, as compared with the standards issued in 2012 that required 5% annual increases. Higher fuel economy standards have the potential to reduce demand for our refined transportation fuel products.

Under EISA, the RFS requires an increasing amount of renewable fuel to be blended into the nation’s transportation fuel supply, up to 36 billion gallons by 2022. In the near term, the RFS will be satisfied primarily with fuel ethanol blended into gasoline. We, and other refiners subject to the RFS, may meet the RFS requirements by blending the necessary volumes of renewable fuels produced by us or purchased from third parties. To the extent that refiners will not or cannot blend renewable fuels into the products they produce in the quantities required to satisfy their obligations under the RFS program, those refiners must purchase renewable credits, referred to as RINs, to maintain compliance. To the extent that we exceed the minimum volumetric requirements for blending of renewable fuels, we have the option of retaining these RINs for current or future RFS compliance or selling those RINs on the open market. The RFS may present production and logistics challenges for both the renewable fuels and petroleum refining and marketing industries in that we may have to enter into arrangements with other parties or purchase D3 waivers from the EPA to meet our obligations to use advanced biofuels, including biomass-based diesel and cellulosic biofuel, with potentially uncertain supplies of these new fuels.

In October 2010, the EPA issued a partial waiver decision under the federal CAA to allow for an increase in the amount of ethanol permitted to be blended into gasoline from 10% (“E10”) to 15% (“E15”) for 2007 and newer light duty motor vehicles. In 2019, the EPA approved year-round sales of E15. There are numerous issues, including state and federal regulatory issues, that need to be addressed before E15 can be marketed on a large scale for use in traditional gasoline engines; however, increased renewable fuel in the nation’s transportation fuel supply could reduce demand for our refined products.

In March 2014, the EPA published a final Tier 3 gasoline standard that requires, among other things, that gasoline contain no more than 10 parts per million (“ppm”) sulfur on an annual average basis and no more than 80 ppm sulfur on a per-gallon basis. The standard also lowers the allowable benzene, aromatics, and olefins content of gasoline. The effective date for the new standard was January 1, 2017, however, approved small volume refineries had until January 1, 2020 to meet the standard. The Par East Hawaii refinery was required to comply with Tier 3 gasoline standards within 30 months of June 21, 2016, the date it was disqualified from small volume refinery status. On March 19, 2015, the EPA confirmed the small refinery status of our Wyoming refinery. The Par East Hawaii refinery, our Wyoming refinery, and our Washington refinery, acquired in January 2019, were all granted small refinery status by the EPA for 2018. As of January 1, 2020, all four of our refineries were compliant with the final Tier 3 gasoline standard.

Beginning on June 30, 2014, new sulfur standards for fuel oil used by marine vessels operating within 200 miles of the U.S. coastline (which includes the entire Hawaiian Island chain) were lowered from 10,000 ppm (1%) to 1,000 ppm (0.1%). The sulfur standards began at the Hawaii refineries and were phased in so that by January 1, 2015, they were to be fully aligned with the International Marine Organization (“IMO”) standards and deadline. The more stringent standards apply universally to both U.S. and foreign-flagged ships. Although the marine fuel regulations provided vessel operators with a few compliance options such as installation of on-board pollution controls and demonstration unavailability, many vessel operators will be forced to switch to a distillate fuel while operating within the Emission Control Area (“ECA”). Beyond the 200 mile ECA, large ocean vessels are still allowed to burn marine fuel with up to 3.5% sulfur. Our Hawaii refineries are capable of producing the 1% sulfur residual fuel oil that was previously required within the ECA. Although our Hawaii refineries remain in a position to supply vessels traveling to and through Hawaii, the market for 0.1% sulfur distillate fuel and 3.5% sulfur residual fuel is much more competitive.

For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

In addition to U.S. fuels requirements, the IMO has also adopted newer standards that further reduce the global limit on sulfur content in maritime fuels to 0.5% beginning in 2020 (“IMO 2020”). Like the rest of the refining industry, we are focused on meeting these standards and may incur costs in producing lower-sulfur fuels.

There will be compliance costs and uncertainties regarding how we will comply with the various requirements contained in the EISA, RFS, IMO 2020, and other fuel-related regulations. We may experience a decrease in demand for refined petroleum products due to an increase in combined fleet mileage or due to refined petroleum products being replaced by renewable fuels.

Environmental Agreement

On September 25, 2013, Par Petroleum, LLC (formerly Hawaii Pacific Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Par created for purposes of the PHR acquisition), Tesoro Corporation (“Tesoro,” which changed its name to Andeavor Corporation before being purchased by Marathon Petroleum Company in October 2018), and PHR entered into an Environmental Agreement (“Environmental Agreement”) that allocated responsibility for known and contingent environmental liabilities related to the acquisition of PHR, including the Consent Decree as described below.

Consent Decree

On July 18, 2016, PHR and subsidiaries of Tesoro entered into a consent decree with the EPA, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), and other state governmental authorities concerning alleged violations of the federal CAA related to the ownership and operation of multiple facilities owned or formerly owned by Tesoro and its affiliates (“Consent Decree”), including the Par East Hawaii refinery. As a result of the Consent Decree, PHR expanded its previously-announced 2016 Par East Hawaii refinery turnaround to undertake additional capital improvements to reduce emissions of air pollutants and to provide for certain nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emission controls and monitoring required by the Consent Decree.

Tesoro is responsible under the Environmental Agreement for directly paying, or reimbursing PHR, for all reasonable third-party capital expenditures incurred pursuant to the Consent Decree to the extent related to acts or omissions prior to the date of the closing of the PHR acquisition. Tesoro is obligated to pay all applicable fines and penalties related to the Consent Decree.

Indemnification

In addition to its obligation to reimburse us for capital expenditures incurred pursuant to the Consent Decree, Tesoro agreed to indemnify us for claims and losses arising out of related breaches of Tesoro’s representations, warranties, and covenants in the Environmental Agreement, certain defined “corrective actions” relating to pre-existing environmental conditions, third-party claims arising under environmental laws for personal injury or property damage arising out of or relating to releases of hazardous materials that occurred prior to the date of the closing of the PHR acquisition, any fine, penalty, or other cost assessed by a governmental authority in connection with violations of environmental laws by PHR prior to the date of the closing of the PHR acquisition, certain groundwater remediation work, fines, or penalties imposed on PHR by the Consent Decree related to acts or omissions of Tesoro prior to the date of the closing of the PHR acquisition, and claims and losses related to the Pearl City Superfund Site.

Tesoro’s indemnification obligations are subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Environmental Agreement. These limitations include a deductible of $1 million and a cap of $15 million for certain of Tesoro’s indemnification obligations related to certain pre-existing conditions, as well as certain restrictions regarding the time limits for submitting notice and supporting documentation for remediation actions.

Recovery Trusts

We emerged from the reorganization of Delta Petroleum Corporation (“Delta”) on August 31, 2012 (“Emergence Date”), when the plan of reorganization (“Plan”) was consummated. On the Emergence Date, we formed the Delta Petroleum General Recovery Trust (“General Trust”). The General Trust was formed to pursue certain litigation against third parties, including preference actions, fraudulent transfer and conveyance actions, rights of setoff and other claims, or causes of action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and other claims and potential claims that Delta and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Debtors”) hold against third parties. On February 27, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered its final decree closing the Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases of Delta and the other Debtors, discharging the trustee for the General Trust, and finding that all assets of the General Trust were resolved, abandoned, or liquidated and have been distributed in accordance with the requirements of the Plan. In addition, the final decree required the Company or the General Trust, as applicable, to maintain the current accruals owed on account of the remaining claims of the U.S. Government and Noble Energy, Inc.

As of June 30, 2020, two related claims totaling approximately $22.4 million remained to be resolved and we have accrued approximately $0.5 million representing the estimated value of claims remaining to be settled which are deemed probable and estimable at period end.

One of the two remaining claims was filed by the U.S. Government for approximately $22.4 million relating to ongoing litigation concerning a plugging and abandonment obligation in Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Lease OCS-P 0320, comprising part of the Sword Unit in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. The second unliquidated claim, which is related to the same plugging and abandonment obligation, was filed by Noble Energy Inc., the operator and majority interest owner of the Sword Unit. We believe the probability of issuing stock to satisfy the full claim amount is remote, as the obligations upon which such proof of claim is asserted are joint and several among all working interest owners and Delta, our predecessor, only owned an approximate 3.4% aggregate working interest in the unit.

The settlement of claims is subject to ongoing litigation and we are unable to predict with certainty how many shares will be required to satisfy all claims. Pursuant to the Plan, allowed claims are settled at a ratio of 54.4 shares per $1,000 of claim.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we granted 28 thousand and 288 thousand shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units with a fair value of approximately $0.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, there were approximately $9.3 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, which are expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we granted 279 thousand stock option awards with a weighted-average exercise price of $19.73 per share and no grants were made for the three months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, there were approximately $3.7 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock option awards, which are expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we granted 47 thousand performance restricted stock units to executive officers and no grants were made for the three months ended June 30, 2020. These performance restricted stock units had a fair value of approximately $0.9 million and are subject to certain annual performance targets based on three-year-performance periods as defined by our Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2020, there were approximately $1.4 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the performance restricted stock units, which are expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

Note 16—Income (Loss) per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average number of shares issuable under the common stock warrants, representing 161 thousand shares during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 354 thousand shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The common stock warrants are included in the calculation of basic income (loss) per share because they were issuable for minimal consideration. As of March 31, 2020, the previously outstanding common stock warrants had been exercised for common stock and no warrants were outstanding. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(1)	Participating securities include restricted stock that had been issued but has not yet vested during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. These participating securities were fully vested as of December 31, 2019.


(2)	Entities with a net loss from continuing operations are prohibited from including potential common shares in the computation of diluted per share amounts. We have utilized the basic shares outstanding to calculate both basic and diluted loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, our calculation of diluted shares outstanding excluded 8 thousand shares of unvested restricted stock. Additionally, the calculation of diluted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 excluded 1.9 million and 1.8 million stock options, respectively.

As discussed in Note 10—Debt, we have the option of settling the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes in cash or shares of common stock, or any combination thereof, upon conversion. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, diluted income per share was determined using the if-converted method. Our calculation of diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2019 excluded 5.6 million common stock equivalents, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 17—Income Taxes

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management continues to conclude that we did not meet the “more likely than not” requirement in order to recognize deferred tax assets on the remaining amounts and a valuation allowance has been recorded for substantially all of our net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

We believe that any adjustment to our uncertain tax positions would not have a material impact on our financial statements given the Company’s deferred tax and corresponding valuation allowance position as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

As of December 31, 2019, we had approximately $1.4 billion in net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL carryforwards”); however, we currently have a valuation allowance against this and substantially all of our other deferred taxed assets.

Our net taxable income must be apportioned to various states based upon the income tax laws of the states in which we derive our revenue. Our NOL carryforwards will not always be available to offset taxable income apportioned to the various states. The states from which our refining, retail, and logistics revenues are derived are not the same states in which our NOLs were incurred; therefore, we expect to incur state tax liabilities in connection with our refining, retail, and logistics operations.

Note 19—Related Party Transactions

Equity Group Investments (“EGI”) - Service Agreement

On September 17, 2013, we entered into a letter agreement (“Services Agreement”) with Equity Group Investments (“EGI”), an affiliate of Zell Credit Opportunities Fund, LP (“ZCOF”), which owns 10% or more of our common stock directly or through affiliates.

The Services Agreement has a term of one year and will be automatically extended for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either party at least 60 days prior to any extension date. There were no costs incurred related to this agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a growth-oriented company based in Houston, Texas, that owns and operates market-leading energy and infrastructure businesses.

Our business is organized into three primary segments:

1) Refining - We own and operate four refineries with total throughput capacity of over 200 Mbpd in Hawaii, Wyoming, and Washington.

As of June 30, 2020, we owned a 46.0% equity investment in Laramie Energy. Laramie Energy is focused on producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado.

We have four reportable segments: (i) Refining, (ii) Retail, (iii) Logistics, and (iv) Corporate and Other. Our Corporate and Other reportable segment primarily includes general and administrative costs. Please read Note 18—Segment Information to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for detailed information on our operating results by segment.

Recent Events Affecting Comparability of Periods

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared that the worldwide spread and severity of a new coronavirus, referred to as COVID-19, was severe enough to be characterized as a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19, in conjunction with related government and other preventative measures taken to mitigate the spread of the virus, has caused severe disruptions in the worldwide economy, including the global demand for crude oil and refined products, the movement of people and goods in the United States, and the global supply chain for industrial and commercial production, all of which have in turn disrupted our businesses and operations.

We continue to actively respond to the impacts that these matters are having on our business. We decreased throughput rates at our Hawaii and Wyoming refineries in response to reduced refined product demand, idled certain refining units at our Hawaii refineries, and have delayed the timing of our planned turnaround in Hawaii until the third quarter of 2020. In addition, we have adjusted production of certain refined products to meet the changing local demand profile. We continue to maintain an ample supply of refined product to meet the refined product needs in the regions in which we operate. On May 5, 2020, we announced that 29 employees were furloughed in response to the previously announced decline in throughput rates at our refineries in Kapolei, Hawaii, and our President and Chief Executive Officer and the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors have reduced their cash salaries by 75%.

In addition, we are taking measures to address our liquidity, including deferring or delaying certain capital expenditures originally planned for 2020 and early 2021 related to turnaround activities at three of our refineries and, in early June 2020, accessing the capital markets to issue $105 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2026. Interest rates associated with our inventory financing arrangements and borrowings under those inventory financing arrangements have also declined. We have also taken actions to reduce operating expenses across our business.

We believe the steps we have taken have strengthened our ability to conduct our operations through current conditions. We are also utilizing some of the tax payment deferral opportunities and federal refund acceleration opportunities provided by the IRS, Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), and various state-specific provisions. We continue to maintain existing processes and procedures, including but not limited to processes and procedures around protection of our technology systems and proprietary data, even though a significant number of our employees are working from home. During this time of uncertainty, the health and wellbeing of our employees and customers are our top priorities as we continue navigating the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The financial results contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the reduced activity experienced in the second quarter of 2020 in the regions in which we operate. The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and the impacts of the virus on people and businesses continue to evolve as of the date of this report. In Hawaii and Washington, for example, mandatory self-quarantine orders or significant limitations on public gatherings have been extended into the third quarter of 2020. We continue to actively monitor the impact of the global situation on our people, operations, financial condition, liquidity, suppliers, customers, and industry. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of the situation, the full magnitude of the impact of COVID-19 on our financial condition, future results of operations, and future cash flows and liquidity is uncertain and has been and may continue to be material.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019

Net Income (Loss). Our financial results for the second quarter of 2020 were primarily driven by lower refining sales volumes related to COVID-19 demand destruction, unfavorable crude differentials, unfavorable crack spreads, and increased RINs expenses, partially offset by favorable lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments of $158.4 million. Our net income (loss) decreased from net income of $28.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to a net loss of $40.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss). For the three months ended June 30, 2020, Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $50.3 million compared to earnings of $68.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily related to lower refining sales volumes related to COVID-19 demand destruction, unfavorable crude differentials, and unfavorable crack spreads.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was a loss of $90.8 million compared to income of $22.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The change was primarily related to the same factors described above for the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by lower interest expense and financing costs.

Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019

Net Income (Loss). During 2020, our results were primarily driven by goodwill impairments of $67.9 million, unfavorable crude differentials, an other-than-temporary impairment of $45.3 million related to our equity investment in Laramie Energy, unfavorable crack spreads, increased RINs expenses, and lower refining sales volumes at our Hawaii and Wyoming refineries related to COVID-19 demand destruction, partially offset by lower operating expense and higher retail fuel margins. Our net income decreased from $89.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to a net loss of $262.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Other factors impacting our results period over period include a $45.6 million reduction in our income tax benefit and lower debt extinguishment and commitment costs.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss). For the six months ended June 30, 2020, Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $36.7 million compared to earnings of $119.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The change was primarily related to unfavorable crude differentials, unfavorable crack spreads, and lower refining sales volumes at our Hawaii and Wyoming refineries related to COVID-19 demand destruction, partially offset by lower operating expense and higher retail fuel margins.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was a loss of $118.0 million compared to income of $31.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily related to the same factors described above for the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.

Feedstocks throughput and sales volumes per day for the Washington refinery for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are calculated based on the 91 and 171-day periods for which we owned the Washington refinery in 2019. As such, the amounts for the total refining segment represent the sum of the Hawaii and Wyoming refineries’ throughput or sales volumes averaged over the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 plus the Washington refinery’s throughput or sales volumes averaged over the periods from April 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019 and January 11, 2019 to June 30, 2019, respectively. The 2020 amounts for the total refining segment represent the sum of the Hawaii, Washington, and Wyoming refineries’ throughput or sales volumes averaged over the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

(2)

We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel by dividing Adjusted Gross Margin by total refining throughput. Adjusted Gross Margin for our Washington refinery is determined under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory costing method. Adjusted Gross Margin for our other refineries is determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory costing method. Please see discussion of Adjusted Gross Margin below.

(3)

Management uses production costs per barrel to evaluate performance and compare efficiency to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate production costs per barrel; different companies within the industry calculate it in different ways. We calculate production costs per barrel by dividing all direct production costs, which include the costs to run the refineries including personnel costs, repair and maintenance costs, insurance, utilities, and other miscellaneous costs, by total refining throughput. Our production costs are included in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) on our condensed consolidated statement of operations, which also includes costs related to our bulk marketing operations.


(4)	After completing the acquisition of the Par West Hawaii refinery in December 2018, we began shifting our Hawaii production profile to supply the local utilities with low sulfur fuel oil and significantly reduced our high sulfur fuel oil yield. In 2020,

following the implementation of IMO 2020, we established the 3-1-2 Singapore Crack Spread (or three barrels of Brent crude oil converted into one barrel of gasoline and two barrels of distillates (diesel and jet fuel)) as a new benchmark for our Hawaii operations. By removing the high sulfur fuel oil reference in the index, we believe the 3-1-2 Singapore Crack Spread is the most representative market indicator of our current operations in Hawaii.

We believe the Pacific Northwest 5-2-2-1 Index is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Tacoma, Washington. The Pacific Northwest 5-2-2-1 Index is computed by taking two parts gasoline (sub-octane), two parts middle distillates (ULSD and jet fuel), and one part fuel oil as created from five barrels of Alaskan North Slope (“ANS”) crude oil. The 2019 price for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 represents the price averaged over the periods from April 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019 and January 11, 2019 to June 30, 2019, respectively.

The profitability of our Wyoming refinery is heavily influenced by crack spreads in nearby markets. We believe the Wyoming 3-2-1 Index is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Wyoming. The Wyoming 3-2-1 Index is computed by taking two parts gasoline and one part distillates (ULSD) as created from three barrels of West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (“WTI”). Pricing is based 50% on applicable product pricing in Rapid City, South Dakota, and 50% on applicable product pricing in Denver, Colorado.

Below is a summary of key operating statistics for the retail segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:



	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020	2019	2020	2019
Retail Segment
Retail sales volumes (thousands of gallons)	22,586	31,810	51,027	61,544

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are considered non-GAAP financial measures. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as (i) operating income (loss) plus operating expense (excluding depreciation); impairment expense; inventory valuation adjustment (which adjusts for timing differences to reflect the economics of our inventory financing agreements, including lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, the impact of the embedded derivative repurchase and terminal obligations, and purchase price allocation adjustments); depreciation, depletion, and amortization (“DD&A”); Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) loss (gain) in excess of net obligation (which represents the income statement effect of reflecting our RINs liability on a net basis); and unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives or (ii) revenues less cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) plus inventory valuation adjustment, unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives, and RINs loss (gain) in excess of net obligation. We define cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) as the hydrocarbon-related costs of inventory sold, transportation costs of delivering product to customers, crude oil consumed in the refining process, costs to satisfy our RINs and environmental credit obligations, and certain hydrocarbon fees and taxes. Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) also includes the unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and the inventory valuation adjustment that we exclude from Adjusted Gross Margin. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, Adjusted Gross Margin also includes the contango gains and backwardation losses associated with our Washington inventory and intermediation obligation. Prior to the second quarter of 2020, contango gains and backwardation (losses) captured by our Washington intermediation agreement were excluded from Adjusted Gross Margin (as part of the inventory valuation adjustment). This change to our non-GAAP information was made to reflect the favorable or unfavorable impact of the market structure on the profitability of our Washington refinery consistent with the presentation of such impacts on our other refineries. We have recast the non-GAAP information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 to conform to the current period presentation.

Management believes Adjusted Gross Margin is an important measure of operating performance and uses Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel to evaluate operating performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry and to industry benchmarks. Management believes Adjusted Gross Margin provides useful information to investors because it eliminates the gross impact of volatile commodity prices and adjusts for certain non-cash items and timing differences created by our inventory financing agreements and lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments to demonstrate the earnings potential of the business before other fixed and variable costs, which are reported separately in Operating expense (excluding depreciation) and Depreciation, depletion, and amortization.

Adjusted Gross Margin should not be considered an alternative to operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Gross Margin presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation since each company may define this term differently as they may include other manufacturing costs and depreciation expense in cost of revenues.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, operating income (loss), on a historical basis, for selected segments, for the periods indicated (in thousands):

(1)	For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there was no impairment expense recorded in Operating income (loss).

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as Net income (loss) excluding changes in the value of contingent consideration and common stock warrants, acquisition and integration costs, unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives, debt extinguishment and commitment costs, increase in (release of) tax valuation allowance and other deferred tax items, inventory valuation adjustment, severance costs, impairment expense, (gain) loss on sale of assets, Par’s share of Laramie Energy’s unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives, RINs loss (gain) in excess of net obligation, and impairment expense associated with our investment in Laramie Energy and our share of Laramie Energy’s asset impairment losses in excess of our basis difference. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) also includes the contango gains and backwardation losses associated with our Washington inventory and intermediation obligation. Prior to the second quarter of 2020, contango gains and backwardation (losses) captured by our Washington intermediation agreement were excluded from Adjusted Net Income (as part of the inventory valuation adjustment). This change to our non-GAAP information was made to reflect the favorable or unfavorable impact of the market structure on the profitability of our Washington refinery consistent with the presentation of such impacts on our other refineries. We have recast the non-GAAP information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 to conform to the current period presentation.

Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excluding interest expense and financing costs, income taxes, DD&A, and equity losses (earnings) from Laramie Energy, excluding Par’s share of unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives, the impairment of Par’s investment, and our share of Laramie Energy’s asset impairment losses in excess of our basis difference.

We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental financial measures that allow investors to assess:


•	The financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis;


•	The ability of our assets to generate cash to pay interest on our indebtedness; and


•	Our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows provided by operating, investing, and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation as other companies may define these terms differently.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Net income (loss), on a historical basis for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Factors Impacting Segment Results

Three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019

Refining. Operating loss for our refining segment was $36.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $70.0 million compared to operating income of $33.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in profitability was primarily driven by unfavorable crude differentials, lower refining sales volumes, and unfavorable crack spreads, partially offset by favorable lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments of $158.4 million and lower maintenance costs and other operating expenses.

Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $10.1 million compared to operating income of $16.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily due to a net 27% lower throughput across the logistics fleet, including terminal and pipelines, related to COVID-19 demand destruction and higher DD&A expense, partially offset by higher storage margins.

Retail. Operating income for our retail segment was $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $4.2 million compared to operating income of $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a 61% increase in fuel margins, partially offset by a 29% decline in sales volumes.

Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019

Refining. Operating loss for our refining segment was $205.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $252.8 million compared to operating income of $47.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in profitability was primarily driven by unfavorable crude differentials, lower sales volumes, goodwill impairment charges of $38.1 million, increased RINs expenses, and lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments of $24.0 million.

Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $25.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $3.7 million compared to operating income of $28.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily due to a net 8% lower throughput across our logistics assets, including terminal and pipelines, related to COVID-19 demand destruction.

Retail. Operating loss for our retail segment was $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $24.0 million compared to operating income of $22.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in profitability is primarily due to goodwill impairment charges of $29.8 million and a decrease in sales volumes of 17%, partially offset by an increase in fuel margins of 38%.

Adjusted Gross Margin

Three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019

Refining. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, our refining Adjusted Gross Margin was a loss of $22.3 million, a decrease of $120.5 million compared to income of $98.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by unfavorable crack spreads and crude differentials, and lower refining sales volumes. Adjusted gross margin for the Hawaii refineries decreased from $3.46 per barrel in 2019 to $(6.96) per barrel in 2020 primarily due to unfavorable crude differentials and crack spreads. Adjusted gross margin for the Wyoming refinery decreased $10.56 per barrel primarily due to a decrease in crack spreads and higher RINs costs. Adjusted gross margin for the Washington refinery decreased $5.98 per barrel primarily due to unfavorable crack spreads.

Logistics. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was $14.5 million, a decrease of $8.9 million compared to $23.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by a net 27% lower throughput across the logistics fleet, including terminal and pipelines, related to COVID-19 demand destruction and higher DD&A expense, partially offset by increased inventory in storage in Washington.

Retail. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was $34.2 million, an increase of $3.2 million when compared to $31.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a 61% increase in fuel margins, partially offset by a 29% decline in sales volumes.

Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019

Refining. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our refining Adjusted Gross Margin was $17.2 million, a decrease of $169.6 million compared to $186.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable crude differentials, reduced sales volumes, and unfavorable crack spreads. Adjusted gross margin for the Hawaii refineries decreased from $3.60 per barrel in 2019 to $(2.73) per barrel in 2020 primarily due to unfavorable crude differentials. Adjusted gross margin for the Wyoming refinery decreased $13.33 per barrel primarily due to a decrease in crack spreads and higher RINs costs. Adjusted gross margin for the Washington refinery decreased $2.75 per barrel primarily due to unfavorable crack spreads.

Logistics. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was $42.2 million, an increase of $0.1 million compared to $42.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by increased inventory in storage and increased rail throughput in Washington, partially offset by lower throughput volumes that decreased 47% in Hawaii and 19% in Wyoming related to COVID-19 demand destruction.

Retail. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was $65.6 million, an increase of $6.1 million when compared to approximately $59.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in fuel margins of 38%, partially offset by a decrease in sales volumes of 17%.

Discussion of Consolidated Results

Three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019

Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenues were $0.5 billion, a $0.9 billion decrease compared to $1.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $0.9 billion in third-party

refining segment revenue as a result of decreases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices and a 32% decrease in refining sales volumes related to COVID-19 demand destruction. Brent and WTI crude oil prices averaged $33.39 and $28.00 per barrel during the second quarter of 2020 compared to $68.47 and $59.91 per barrel during the second quarter of 2019, respectively. Revenues at our retail segment decreased $41.1 million primarily due to a 29% decline in sales volumes and a 28% decline in fuel prices.

Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation). For the three months ended June 30, 2020, cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) was $0.4 billion, a $0.9 billion decrease compared to $1.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices as discussed above, lower refining volumes related to COVID-19 demand destruction, and a favorable change in the lower of cost or net realizable value adjustment of $171.8 million, partially offset by unfavorable crude differentials. Cost of revenues at our retail segment decreased $44.4 million primarily due to lower fuel costs and a 29% decline in sales volumes.

Operating Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the three months ended June 30, 2020, operating expense (excluding depreciation) was $67.0 million, a $7.8 million decrease when compared to $74.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower operating expenses at our refineries driven by lower repairs and maintenance expenses, partially offset by increased utilities expenses.

Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, DD&A was $22.1 million, which was relatively consistent with $21.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

General and Administrative Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the three months ended June 30, 2020, general and administrative expense (excluding depreciation) was approximately $10.2 million, a $1.2 million decrease when compared to $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in the use of outside services and COVID-19-related reductions in travel and employee costs.

Acquisition and Integration Costs. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $0.1 million of costs primarily related to integration costs associated with the Washington Acquisition. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred $0.8 million of integration costs primarily related to the Washington Acquisition, which closed on January 11, 2019.

Interest Expense and Financing Costs, Net. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, our interest expense and financing costs were $16.4 million, a $3.9 million decrease when compared to $20.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by a $1.2 million decrease in interest expense associated with our inventory financing agreements, a $1.2 million decrease in interest expense associated with our 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes, and a $1.1 million decrease in interest rate swap losses. These decreases were partially offset by interest expense of $1.0 million related to the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes issued in June 2020. Please read Note 9—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 10—Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on our inventory financing and indebtedness, respectively.

Change in Value of Common Stock Warrants. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the change in value of common stock warrants resulted in a loss of approximately $1.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, there was no change in value of common stock warrants. During January and March 2020, one of our stockholders and its affiliates exercised the remaining 354,350 common stock warrants in exchange for 350,542 shares of common stock. We estimated the fair value of our outstanding common stock warrants using the difference between the strike price of the warrant and the market price of our common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, our stock price increased from $17.81 per share as of March 31, 2019 to $20.52 per share as of June 30, 2019.

Debt Extinguishment and Commitment Costs. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, our debt extinguishment costs were $3.7 million and represent the extinguishment loss associated with the repurchase and cancellation of a portion of our outstanding 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes in 2019. Please read Note 10—Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion. No such costs were incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Equity Losses from Laramie Energy, LLC. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, equity losses from Laramie Energy were $1.9 million, a decrease of $2.4 million compared to equity earnings of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to Laramie Energy’s net loss associated with lower realized natural gas prices. As of June 30, 2020, we have discontinued the application of the equity method of accounting for our investment in Laramie Energy because the book value of such investment has been reduced to zero. Please read Note 3—Investment in Laramie Energy, LLC for further information.

Income Taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded an income tax benefit of $2.7 million primarily related to an increase in our net operating loss carryforwards. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of $1.8 million primarily driven by a $2.3 million benefit associated with a partial release of our valuation allowance in connection with the Washington Acquisition.

Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019

Revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenues were $1.7 billion, a $0.9 billion decrease compared to $2.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $0.8 billion in third-party revenues at our refining segment primarily as a result of decreases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices and lower sales volumes related to COVID-19 demand destruction. Refined product sales volumes decreased 13% from 171.1 Mbpd in the six months ended June 30, 2019 to 149.5 Mbpd in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Average Brent prices decreased from $66.16 per barrel in the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $42.10 per barrel in the six months ended June 30, 2020, with similar decreases experienced for WTI crude oil prices. Revenues in our retail segment decreased $38.2 million primarily due to a 17% decrease in sales volumes and a 13% decrease in fuel prices.

Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation). For the six months ended June 30, 2020, cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) was $1.7 billion, a $0.6 billion decrease compared to $2.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in Brent and WTI crude oil prices as discussed above and overall lower refining and retail volumes related to COVID-19 demand destruction. These decreases were partially offset by unfavorable crude differentials in Hawaii and an increase in RINs expense of approximately $33.7 million.

Operating Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the six months ended June 30, 2020, operating expense (excluding depreciation) was $140.4 million, a decrease of $8.1 million compared to $148.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower utilities expenses, and repairs and maintenance expenses.

Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, DD&A was $43.4 million, which was relatively consistent with $42.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Impairment Expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $67.9 million related to our Refining and Retail segments. Please read Note 8—Goodwill to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the goodwill impairment. There was no impairment expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

General and Administrative Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the six months ended June 30, 2020, general and administrative expense (excluding depreciation) was $22.0 million, which was relatively consistent with $23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Acquisition and Integration Costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $0.8 million of integration costs primarily related to the Washington Acquisition. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred $3.7 million of acquisition and integration costs related to the Washington Acquisition and the Par West Hawaii refinery acquisition.

Interest Expense and Financing Costs, Net. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our interest expense and financing costs were $35.1 million, a decrease of $3.9 million when compared to $39.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense and financing costs of $2.8 million due to the exchange of a portion of our outstanding 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes during 2019 and a decrease of $1.2 million due to reduced borrowings under our Supply and Offtake Agreements and Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement. These decreases were partially offset by interest expense of $1.0 million related to the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes issued in June 2020. Please read Note 9—Inventory Financing Agreements and Note 10—Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on our inventory financing and indebtedness, respectively.

Change in Value of Common Stock Warrants. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the change in value of common stock warrants resulted in a gain of $4.3 million, a change of $6.5 million when compared to a loss of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. During January and March 2020, one of our stockholders and its affiliates exercised the remaining 354,350 common stock warrants in exchange for 350,542 shares of common stock. We estimated the fair value of our outstanding common stock warrants and the income recognized upon exercise using the difference between the strike price of the warrant and the market price of our common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our stock price decreased from $23.24 per share as of December 31, 2019 to $7.10 per share as of March 31, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our stock price increased from $14.18 per share on December 31, 2018 to $20.52 per share on June 30, 2019.

Debt Extinguishment and Commitment Costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, our debt extinguishment and commitment costs were $9.2 million and primarily represent the commitment and other fees associated with the financing of the Washington Acquisition and the extinguishment costs associated with the repurchase and cancellation of a portion of our outstanding 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes. Please read Note 10—Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion. No such costs were incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Equity Losses from Laramie Energy, LLC. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, equity losses from Laramie Energy were $46.9 million, a decrease of $47.7 million compared to equity earnings of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $45.3 million related to our investment in Laramie Energy. The remaining decrease was primarily due to Laramie Energy’s net loss associated with lower realized prices. As of June 30, 2020, we have discontinued the application of the equity method of accounting for our investment in Laramie Energy because the book value of such investment has been reduced to zero. Please read Note 3—Investment in Laramie Energy, LLC for further information.

Income Taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded an income tax benefit of $21.0 million primarily driven by an increase in our net operating loss carryforwards and the change in our indefinitely-lived goodwill due to the impairments. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of $66.6 million primarily driven by a $67.7 million benefit associated with a partial release of our valuation allowance in connection with the Washington Acquisition.

Consolidating Condensed Financial Information

On December 21, 2017, Par Petroleum, LLC (the “Issuer”) issued its 7.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 in a private offering under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act. On January 11, 2019, the Issuers (defined below) entered into a term loan and guaranty agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto with respect to a $250.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan B”). On June 5, 2020, the Issuers issued their 12.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 in a private offering under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act. The 7.75% Senior Secured Notes, the Term Loan B, and the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes were co-issued by Par Petroleum Finance Corp. (together with the Issuer, the “Issuers”), which has no independent assets or operations. The 7.75% Senior Secured Notes, Term Loan B, and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis only as to payment of principal and interest by Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (the “Parent”) and are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of the subsidiaries of Par Petroleum, LLC (other than Par Petroleum Finance Corp.).

For purposes of the following condensed consolidating information, the Parent’s investment in its subsidiaries is accounted for under the equity method of accounting (dollar amounts in thousands).

________________________________________


(1)	The income tax benefit (expense) of the Parent Guarantor and Issuer and Subsidiaries is determined using the separate return method. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and Eliminations column includes tax benefits recognized at the Par consolidated level that are primarily associated with changes to the consolidated valuation allowance and other deferred tax balances.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA for the supplemental consolidating condensed financial information, which is segregated at the “Parent Guarantor,” “Issuer and Subsidiaries,” and “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and Eliminations” levels, is calculated in the same manner as for the Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. Adjusted EBITDA calculations. See “Results of Operations — Non-GAAP Performance Measures — Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA” above.

The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Net income (loss), on a historical basis for the periods indicated (in thousands):

(3)	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no severance costs or impairment expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, there were no debt extinguishment costs, impairment expense, or common stock warrants outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity and capital requirements are primarily a function of our debt maturities and debt service requirements and contractual obligations, capital expenditures, turnaround outlays, and working capital needs. Examples of working capital needs include purchases and sales of commodities and associated margin and collateral requirements, facility maintenance costs, and other costs such as payroll. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash on hand, amounts available under our credit agreements, and access to capital markets.

Our liquidity position as of June 30, 2020 was $203.8 million and consisted of $198.5 million at Par Petroleum, LLC and subsidiaries, $5.3 million at Par Pacific Holdings, and an immaterial amount at all our other subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2020, we had access to the J. Aron Deferred Payment Arrangement, the ABL Credit Facility, the MLC receivable advances, and cash on hand of $142.9 million. In addition, we have the Supply and Offtake Agreements with J. Aron and the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement, which are used to finance the majority of the inventory at our Hawaii and Washington refineries, respectively. Generally, the primary uses of our capital resources have been in the operations of our refining and retail segments, payments related to acquisitions, and to repay or refinance indebtedness.

We believe our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our current capital and turnaround expenditures, working capital, and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. We may seek to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund any other significant changes to our business or to refinance existing debt. We cannot offer any assurances that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or at an acceptable cost.

We may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes, our 7.75% Senior Secured Notes, our 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, or our common stock through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will

depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes cash activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020			2019
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	33,767		$	24,237
Net cash used in investing activities	(30,160		)	(312,281		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	13,247			320,862

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which resulted from a net loss of approximately $262.9 million, offset by net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $130.9 million and non-cash charges to operations of approximately $165.7 million. The change in our operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to: 1) decrease in our trade receivables of $114.2 million, 2) decrease in inventories of $164.2 million, and 3) a net decrease in our Supply and Offtake Agreements and Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement obligations of $150.4 million. These decreases in operating assets and liabilities were primarily driven by the decline in crude oil prices in 2020. Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $24.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which resulted from net income of approximately $89.3 million and non-cash charges to operations of approximately $25.3 million, offset by net cash used for changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $90.3 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $30.2 million and primarily related to additions to property, plant, and equipment totaling approximately $30.2 million. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $312.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and primarily related to $274.3 million net cash consideration paid for the Washington Acquisition and additions to property and equipment totaling approximately $41.4 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $13.2 million, which consisted primarily of net debt and insurance premium borrowings of approximately $92.7 million, offset by net repayments associated with the J. Aron deferred payment and MLC receivable advances of approximately $72.5 million and payments of $6.1 million in deferred loan costs primarily related to the issuance of the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $320.9 million, which consisted primarily of net debt borrowings of approximately $270.0 million and net borrowings associated with the J. Aron deferred payment and MLC receivable advances of approximately $71.4 million, offset by the payments of $13.4 million in deferred loan costs and $7.1 million in commitment and other fees related to the funding for the Washington Acquisition and the financing costs related to the repurchase and cancellation of a portion of our 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes.

Capital Expenditures and Turnaround Costs

Our deferred turnaround costs and capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 totaled approximately $36.6 million and were primarily related to equipment purchases and engineering work in preparation for the third quarter 2020 turnaround at our Par East Hawaii refinery, the second phase of a Washington renewables project, tank compliance construction and repairs within our Wyoming logistics network, and scheduled maintenance. Our capital expenditure and deferred turnaround cost budget for 2020 ranges from $95 million to $110 million and primarily relates to the second phase of a Washington renewables project, equipment purchases and engineering work related to the execution of the 2020 turnarounds at our Par East Hawaii and Wyoming refineries, tank compliance construction and repairs within our Wyoming logistics network, and scheduled maintenance and other capital projects.

We also continue to seek strategic investments in business opportunities, but the amount and timing of those investments are not predictable.

Commitments and Contingencies

Supply and Offtake Agreements. On June 1, 2015, we entered into the Supply and Offtake Agreements with J. Aron to support the operations of our Par East Hawaii refinery. On May 8, 2017, we and J. Aron amended the Supply and Offtake Agreements and extended the term through May 31, 2021 with a one-year extension option upon mutual agreement of the parties. On June 27,

2018, we and J. Aron amended the Supply and Offtake Agreements to increase the amount that we may defer under the deferred payment arrangement. On December 5, 2018, we and J. Aron amended the Supply and Offtake Agreements to account for additional processing capacity expected to be provided by the Par West Hawaii refinery. Please read Note 9—Inventory Financing Agreements for more information.

Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement. In connection with the consummation of the Washington Acquisition on January 11, 2019, we assumed the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement with MLC to support the operations of our Washington refinery. On November 1, 2019, we and MLC amended the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement and extended the term through June 30, 2021, with an option for us to early terminate as early as March 31, 2021. Please read Note 9—Inventory Financing Agreements for more information.

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of our business. Please read Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking” statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”), or in releases made by the SEC, all as may be amended from time to time. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors including, without limitation, our expectations regarding the impact of COVID-19 on our business, our customers, and the markets where we operate; our beliefs with regard to available capital resources, our beliefs regarding the likelihood or impact of any potential fines or penalties and of the fair value of certain assets, and our expectations with respect to laws and regulations, including environmental regulations and related compliance costs and any fines or penalties related thereto; our expectations regarding the sufficiency of our cash flows and liquidity; our expectations regarding anticipated capital expenditures, including the timing and cost of compliance with consent decrees and other enforcement actions; our expectations regarding the impact of the adoption of certain accounting standards; our estimates regarding the fair value of certain indebtedness; estimated costs to settle claims from the Delta bankruptcy; the estimated value of, and our ability to settle, legal claims remaining to be settled against third parties; our expectations regarding the synergies or other benefits of our acquisitions; our expectations regarding certain tax liabilities and debt obligations; our expectations and estimates regarding our Supply and Offtake Agreements and the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement; management’s assumptions about future events; our ability to raise additional debt or equity capital; our ability to make strategic investments in business opportunities; and the estimates, assumptions, and projections regarding future financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows. These and other forward-looking statements could cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of Par and its subsidiaries to differ materially from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking language, such as the words “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “seeks,” or “scheduled to,” or other similar words, or the negative of these terms or other variations of these terms or comparable language, or by discussion of strategy or intentions. These cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the PSLRA with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of such laws.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are largely based on our expectations, which reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions and other factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control, including those set out in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under “Risk Factors.”

In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. All readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance; and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will be realized or that the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to factors described above and under Critical Accounting Policies and Risk Factors included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Additionally, significant uncertainties remain with respect to COVID-19 and its economic effects. Due to the unpredictable and unprecedented nature of

the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot identify all potential risks to, and impacts on, our business, including the ultimate adverse economic impact to the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. However, the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the Company has been and will likely continue to be material. There can be no guarantee that the operational and financial measures the Company has taken, and may take in the future, will be fully effective. We do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Commodity Price Risk

Our earnings, cash flows, and liquidity are significantly affected by commodity price volatility. Our Revenues fluctuate with refined product prices and our Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) fluctuates with movements in crude oil and feedstock prices. Assuming all other factors remain constant, a $1 per barrel change in average gross refining margins, based on our throughput for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of 116 thousand barrels per day, would change annualized operating income by approximately $41.6 million. This analysis may differ from actual results.

In order to manage commodity price risks, we utilize exchange-traded futures, options, and over-the-counter (“OTC”) swaps associated with:


•	the price for which we sell our refined products;


•	the price we pay for crude oil and other feedstocks;


•	our crude oil and refined products inventory; and


•	our fuel requirements for our refineries.

All of our futures and OTC swaps are executed to economically hedge our physical commodity purchases, sales, and inventory. Our open futures and OTC swaps expire at various dates through December 2020. At June 30, 2020, these open commodity derivative contracts represent (in thousands of barrels):



Contract type	Purchases	Sales		Net
Futures	415	—		415
Swaps	6,920	(6,920	)	—
Total	7,335	(6,920	)	415

Based on our net open positions at June 30, 2020, a $1 change in the price of crude oil, assuming all other factors remain constant, would result in a change of approximately $0.4 million to the fair value of these derivative instruments and Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation).

Our predominant variable operating cost is the cost of fuel consumed in the refining process, which is included in Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we consumed approximately 116 thousand and 134 thousand barrels per day, respectively, of crude oil during the refining process at our Hawaii, Washington, and Wyoming refineries. We internally consumed approximately 4% and 3% of this throughput in the refining process during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, which is accounted for as a fuel cost. We have economically hedged 75 thousand barrels per month of our internally consumed fuel cost at our Hawaii refineries by executing option collars. These option collars have a weighted-average strike price ranging from a floor of $48.77 per barrel to a ceiling of $65.00 per barrel and expire in December 2020. We do not currently economically hedge our internally consumed fuel cost at our Wyoming or Washington refineries.

Compliance Program Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of RINs required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. Our renewable volume obligation (“RVO”) is based on a percentage of our Hawaii, Wyoming, and Washington refineries’ production of on-road transportation fuel. The EPA sets the RVO percentages annually. To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RVO, we must purchase RINs on the open market. To mitigate the impact of this risk on our results of operations and cash flows, we may purchase RINs when the price of these instruments is deemed favorable. Some of these contracts are derivative instruments, however, we elect the normal purchases normal sales exception and do not record these contracts at their fair values.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2020, we had $277.6 million in debt principal that was subject to floating interest rates. We also had interest rate exposure in connection with our liabilities under the J. Aron Supply and Offtake Agreements and the MLC Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement for which we pay charges based on three-month LIBOR. An increase of 1% in the variable rate on our indebtedness, after considering the instruments subject to minimum interest rates, would result in an increase to our Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) and Interest expense and financing costs, net, of approximately $3.2 million and $4.2 million per year, respectively.

We may utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2020, we had entered into an interest rate swap at an average fixed rate of 3.91% in exchange for the floating interest rate and on the notional amounts due under the Retail Property Term Loan. This swap expires on April 1, 2024, the maturity date of the Retail Property Term Loan.

Credit Risk

We are subject to risk of losses resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our counterparties. We will continue to closely monitor the creditworthiness of customers to whom we grant credit and establish credit limits in accordance with our credit policy.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as of June 30, 2020, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

We are subject to certain risks. For a discussion of these risks, see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. These “Risk Factors” may be amplified by the uncertain and unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic that has caused, and is expected to continue to cause, the global slowdown of economic activity (including the decrease in demand for crude oil and the refined products that we produce and sell), disruptions in global supply chains, and significant volatility and disruption of financial markets and that also has adversely affected workforces, customers, and regional and local economies.

Because the severity, magnitude, and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences are uncertain, rapidly changing, and difficult to predict, the impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity remains uncertain and difficult to predict. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations and financial condition remains uncertain and depends on numerous evolving factors, many of which are not within our control, and which we

may not be able to effectively respond to, including, but not limited to: governmental, business, and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic (including restrictions on travel and transport, workforce pressures and social distancing, and stay-at-home orders); the effect of the pandemic on economic activity and actions taken in response; the effect on our customers and their demand for our products; the effect of the pandemic on the creditworthiness of our customers; national or global supply chain challenges or disruption; workforce availability; facility closures; commodity cost volatility; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and financial market volatility and ability to access capital markets; global economic conditions and levels of economic growth; and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, as well as response to a potential reoccurrence.

Further, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the volatile regional and global economic conditions stemming from the pandemic, could also precipitate or aggravate the other risk factors that we identify in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations (including revenues and profitability), and liquidity and/or stock price. Additionally, COVID-19 may also affect our operating and financial results in a manner that is not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to present significant risks to our operations.

Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Dividends

We have not paid dividends on our common stock and we do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. In addition, under the ABL Credit Facility, the indentures governing the 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, and the Term Loan B Facility, our subsidiaries are restricted from paying dividends or making other equity distributions, subject to certain exceptions.

Stock Repurchases
