PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
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, niche markets. Currently, we operate in three primary business segments:
1) Refining - We own and operate four refineries in Hawaii, Wyoming, Washington, and Montana. Beginning June 1, 2023, we own and operate a refinery that processes Western Canadian and regional Rocky Mountain crude oil and a 65% interest in an adjacent cogeneration facility in Billings, Montana.
2) Retail - Our retail outlets in Hawaii, Washington, and Idaho sell gasoline, diesel, and retail merchandise through Hele and “76” 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 Rocky Mountain regions to transport and store our crude oil and refined products for our refineries and transport refined products to our retail sites or third-party purchasers. Beginning June 1, 2023, we maintain ownership in distribution and logistics assets in the upper Rockies region, including the wholly owned Silvertip Pipeline, a 40% interest in the Yellowstone refined products pipeline, and four wholly owned and three joint venture refined product terminals.
As of June 30, 2023, we owned a 46.0% equity investment in Laramie Energy, LLC (“Laramie Energy”). Laramie Energy is focused on developing and producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco counties, Colorado. As noted in the Refining and Logistics discussions above, as of June 30, 2023 through the Billings Acquisition (as defined in Note 5—Acquisitions), we own a 65% and a 40% equity investment in Yellowstone Energy Limited Partnership, (“YELP”) and Yellowstone Pipeline Company (“YPLC”), respectively.
Our Corporate and Other reportable segment primarily includes general and administrative costs and certain development expenses associated with our renewable fuel initiatives.
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, 2022 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, 2022.
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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
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 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. We did not have a material change in our allowances on trade receivables during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.
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”) and other environmental credit obligations, and certain hydrocarbon fees and taxes. Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) also includes the unrealized gains and 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):

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, 2022.
Note 3—Refining and Logistics Equity Investments
Yellowstone Energy Limited Partnership
On June 1, 2023, we completed the Billings Acquisition (as defined in Note 5—Acquisitions) and acquired a 65% limited partnership ownership interest in YELP. YELP owns a cogeneration facility in Billings, Montana, that converts petroleum coke, supplied from our Montana refinery and other nearby third-party refineries, into power production for the local utility grid. As of June 30, 2023, our investment in YELP was $58.0 million. We account for our investment in YELP using the equity method as we have the ability to exert significant influence over, but do not control its operating and financial policies. Our proportionate share of YELP’s net income (loss) will be recorded on a one-month lag basis and included in Equity (earnings) from refining and logistics investments on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Yellowstone Pipeline Company
On June 1, 2023, we completed the Billings Acquisition (as defined in Note 5—Acquisitions) and acquired a 40% ownership interest in YPLC. YPLC owns a refined products pipeline that begins at our Montana refinery and transports refined product to Montana and the Pacific Northwest. As of June 30, 2023, our investment in YPLC was $26.4 million. We account for our ownership interest in YPLC using the equity method as we have the ability to exert significant influence over, but do not control its operating and financial policies. Our proportionate share of YPLC’s net income of $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 is included in Equity (earnings) from refining and logistics investments on our condensed

Note 4—Investment in Laramie Energy
Laramie Energy
As of June 30, 2023, we had a 46.0% ownership interest in Laramie Energy. Laramie Energy is focused on developing and producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco counties, Colorado. The balance of our investment in Laramie Energy was zero as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Prior to February 21, 2023, Laramie Energy had a term loan agreement which provided a term loan secured by a lien on its natural gas and crude oil properties and related assets. Under the terms of the term loan, Laramie Energy was generally prohibited from making future cash distributions to its owners, including us, except for certain permitted tax distributions.
On February 21, 2023, Laramie Energy entered into a new term loan agreement which provides a $205 million first lien term loan facility with $160.0 million funded at closing and an optional $45 million delayed draw commitment, subject to certain terms and conditions. Laramie Energy used the proceeds from the term loan to repay the then-outstanding balance of $76.3 million on its prior term loan, including accrued interest and prepayment penalties, and fully redeem preferred equity of $73.5 million. After deducting transaction costs, net proceeds were $4.8 million. Under the terms of the new term loan, Laramie is permitted to make future cash distributions to its owners, including us, subject to certain restrictions. Laramie Energy’s term loan matures on February 21, 2027. As of June 30, 2023, the term loan had an outstanding balance of $155.0 million.
On March 1, 2023, pursuant to its new term loan agreement, Laramie Energy made a one-time cash distribution to its owners, including us, based on ownership percentage. Our share of this distribution was $10.7 million, which was reflected as Return of capital from Laramie Energy, LLC on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We recorded the cash received as Equity earnings from Laramie Energy, LLC on our condensed consolidated statements of operations because the carrying value of our investment in Laramie Energy was zero at the time of such distribution.
Effective February 21, 2023, and concurrent with the new term loan agreement noted above, we resumed the application of equity method accounting with respect to our investment in Laramie Energy. At June 30, 2023, our equity in the underlying net assets of Laramie Energy exceeded the carrying value of our investment by approximately $76.4 million. This difference arose primarily due to other-than-temporary impairments of our equity investment in Laramie Energy.
Note 5—Acquisitions
Billings Acquisition
On October 20, 2022, we and our subsidiaries Par Montana, LLC (“Par Montana”), Par Montana Holdings, LLC (“Par Montana Holdings”), and Par Rocky Mountain Midstream, LLC (“Par Rocky Mountain”, and together with Par Montana and Par Montana Holdings, the “Purchasers”), entered into an equity and asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Exxon Mobil Corporation, ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, and ExxonMobil Pipeline Company LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”) to purchase (i) the high-conversion, complex refinery located in Billings, Montana and certain associated distribution and logistics assets, (ii) the Sellers’ 65% limited partnership equity interest in YELP, and (iii) the Sellers’ 40% equity interest in YPLC for a base purchase price of $310.0 million plus the value of hydrocarbon inventory and adjusted working capital at closing (collectively, the “Billings Acquisition”). The Billings Acquisition enhances our fully integrated downstream network in the upper Rockies and Pacific Northwest. The Billings Acquisition increases scale and geographic diversification on the U.S. mainland and allows for efficient access to alternative markets.
On June 1, 2023, we completed the Billings Acquisition for a total purchase price of approximately $638.2 million (before consideration of the preliminary working capital adjustment), consisting of a cash deposit of $30.0 million paid on October 20, 2022 upon execution of the Purchase Agreement and $608.2 million paid at closing on June 1, 2023. The preliminary working capital adjustment is $12.7 million, which will reduce the total purchase price. The Company funded the Billings Acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings from the ABL Credit Facility (as defined in Note 11—Debt) under the ABL Credit Facility (as defined in Note 11—Debt).

We accounted for the Billings Acquisition as a business combination whereby the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. A summary of the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows (in thousands):
Trade accounts receivable | $ | 2,395 | |||
Inventories | 299,228 | ||||
Property, plant, and equipment | 259,088 | ||||

Total | $ | 625,480 |
_______________________________________________________
(1)We allocated $531.7 million and $123.3 million of total assets to our refining and logistics segments, respectively.
We have recorded a preliminary estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and expect to finalize the purchase price allocation during the first part of 2024. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not finalized as of June 30, 2023 relate to inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and the environmental liabilities. Any final valuation adjustments could change the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in a change to our condensed consolidated financial statements, which could be material.
We incurred $5.1 million and $10.4 million of acquisition costs related to the Billings Acquisition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. These costs are included in Acquisition and integration costs on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We assumed certain environmental liabilities associated with the Billings Acquisition, including costs related to hazardous waste corrective measures, ground and surface water sampling and monitoring. We expect to incur these costs over a 20 to 30 year period.
The results of operations of the Montana refinery, newly acquired logistics assets in the Rockies region, and YELP and YPLC equity investments were included in our results beginning on June 1, 2023. For both of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, our results of operations included revenues of $217.2 million and a net loss of $15.6 million related to these assets. The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents our consolidated revenues and net income (loss) as if the Billings Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2022 (in thousands):

These pro forma results were based on estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the Billings Acquisition been effective as of the dates presented, nor is it indicative of future operating results of the combined company. Pro forma adjustments include (i) incremental depreciation resulting from the estimated fair value of property, plant, and equipment acquired, (ii) transaction costs which were shifted from the six months ended June 30, 2023 to the six months ended June 30, 2022 and (iii) elimination of historical transactions between Par and the Montana assets.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, receivables from contracts with customers were $367.7 million and $242.5 million, respectively. Our refining segment recognizes deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of delivery of products to the customer. Deferred revenue was $14.2 million and $11.5 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We have elected to apply a practical expedient not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected duration of less than one year and (ii) contracts where the variable consideration has been allocated entirely to our unsatisfied performance obligation.

Supply and Offtake Agreement
Under the Second Amended and Restated Supply and Offtake Agreement (as amended, the “Supply and Offtake Agreement”), J. Aron & Company LLC (“J. Aron”) finances the majority of the crude oil utilized at the Hawaii refinery, holds legal title to the crude oil stored in our storage tanks before processing until title passes to us at the tank outlet, and buys refined products produced at our Hawaii refinery, after which we repurchase the refined products prior to selling them to our retail locations or third parties. Under the Supply and Offtake Agreement, J. Aron may enter into agreements with third parties whereby J. Aron remits payments to these third parties for refinery procurement contracts for which we will become immediately obligated to reimburse J. Aron. The Supply and Offtake Agreement expires May 31, 2024 (as extended, the “Expiration Date”), subject to a one-year extension at the mutual agreement of the parties at least 120 days prior to the Expiration Date. The Supply and Offtake Agreement also makes available a discretionary draw facility (the “Discretionary Draw Facility”) to Par Hawaii Refining, LLC (“PHR”).
On April 25, 2022, we entered into an amendment (the “S&O Amendment”) to the Supply and Offtake Agreement which, among other things, amended the maximum commitment amount under the Discretionary Draw Facility from $165 million to $215 million. The S&O Amendment further increased the limit in the borrowing base for eligible hydrocarbon inventory from $82.5 million to $107.5 million. The S&O Amendment further requires a $5.0 million reserve against the borrowing base at any time more than $165 million is outstanding in discretionary draw advances made to PHR; the reserve may be reduced by the posting of cash collateral by PHR in accordance with the terms of the S&O Amendment. On February 13, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Supply and Offtake Agreement to, among other things, facilitate entry into the Term Loan Credit Agreement. On June 21, 2023, we entered into an amendment (the June “2023 S&O Amendment”) to establish the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), as defined in the Supply and Offtake Agreement, as the benchmark rate in replacement of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and revise certain other terms and conditions, effective July 1, 2023.
Under the Supply and Offtake Agreement, we pay or receive certain fees from J. Aron based on changes in market prices over time. In 2021 and 2022, we entered into multiple contracts to fix certain market fees for the period from January 2022 through May 2022 for $8.7 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we did not enter into any contracts to fix market fees related to our Supply and Offtake Agreement. We had no fixed market fees due to or from J. Aron as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The amount due to or from J. Aron was recorded as an adjustment to our Obligations under inventory financing agreements as allowed under the Supply and Offtake Agreement. We did not recognize any fixed market fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. We recognized fixed market fees of $1.6 million and $8.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which were included in Cost of revenues (excluding

On May 9, 2022, we and MLC amended the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement to increase the maximum borrowing capacity under the MLC receivable advances from $90 million to $115 million. On August 11, 2022, we and MLC entered into an amendment to the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement to establish the adjusted three-month term SOFR rate as the benchmark rate in replacement of the LIBOR rate and revise certain other terms and conditions. On November 2, 2022, we and MLC amended the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement to further extend the term through March 31, 2024 and reduce the maximum borrowing capacity to $110 million. On February 28, 2023, we and MLC amended the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement to facilitate entry into the Term Loan Credit Agreement, and on April 26, 2023, we and MLC amended the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement to facilitate entry into the ABL Credit Facility.

In accordance with ASC Topic 470, "Debt", we accounted for the ABL Credit Facility as a debt modification and unamortized deferred financing costs/modification costs of $0.7 million were rolled into the ABL Credit Facility which will be amortized over the remaining term of the ABL Credit Facility.
On May 30, 2023, the ABL Credit Facility was amended (“ABL Credit Facility Billings Amendment”) in order to, among other things, increase the principal amount to $450 million, adjust the borrowing base to account for the Billings Acquisition assets, and fund an escrow account to purchase a portion of the hydrocarbon inventory associated with the Billings Acquisition. Initially the ABL Credit Facility permitted the issuance of letters of credit of up to $65 million, with the ABL Credit Facility Billings Amendment this amount increased to $250 million. The ABL Credit Facility will mature, and the commitments thereunder will terminate on April 26, 2028. As of June 30, 2023, the ABL Credit Facility had $41.0 million outstanding revolving loans, $215.0 million in letters of credit outstanding, and a borrowing base of approximately $531.0 million.
The interest rates applicable to borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility is based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to either, at our option, (i) a base rate, plus an applicable margin, or (ii) an Adjusted Term SOFR rate, plus an applicable margin. The initial applicable margin for borrowings under the Facilities is 0.50% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.50% per annum with respect to SOFR borrowings, and the applicable margin for such borrowings after June 30, 2023 will be based on the our quarterly average excess availability as determined by reference to a borrowing base, ranging from 0.25% per annum to 0.75% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings and from 1.25% per annum to 1.75% per annum with respect to SOFR borrowings. We will also pay a de minimis fee for any undrawn amounts available under the ABL Credit Facility.
The ABL Credit Facility includes certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a minimum financial fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum Borrower Group Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. In addition, the covenants limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers, or consolidations, engage in certain hedging transactions, and pay dividends and other restricted payments.
Term Loan Credit Agreement due 2030
On February 28, 2023, we entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (“Lenders”). Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Lenders made an initial senior secured term loan in the principal amount of $550.0 million at a price equal to 98.5% of its face value. The initial loan bears interest at SOFR, as defined below. The net proceeds were used to refinance our existing Term Loan B Facility and repurchase our outstanding 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes and any remaining net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. We recognized an aggregate of $2.8 million in debt modification costs in connection with the refinancing, which were recorded in Debt extinguishment and commitment costs on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months June 30, 2023.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement bears interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to either a SOFR rate or base rate “Base Rate”, provided that the Base Rate shall not be below 1.5%, as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The SOFR rate and Base Rate definitions are summarized below:
SOFR Rate loan | Secured overnight financing rate plus the applicable margin of 4.250% per annum with a stepdown in the applicable margin of 0.25% in the event the Company’s credit rating is upgraded to Ba3/BB-, | ||||
Base Rate loan | A per annum rate plus the applicable margin of 3.250%. The base rate is the greatest of: | ||||
• | a rate as calculated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York based on such day’s federal funds transactions by depository institutions (“Federal Funds Rate”) for such day, plus 0.5%; | ||||
• | a rate equal to adjusted term SOFR for a one month interest period as of such day plus 1.0%; or | ||||
• | a rate as announced by Wells Fargo (the “Prime Rate”). | ||||

Interest Rate Derivatives
We are exposed to interest rate volatility in our ABL Credit Facility, Term Loan Credit Agreement, Supply and Offtake Agreement, and Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement. We may utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk. On April 12, 2023, we entered into an interest rate collar transaction to manage our interest rate risk on the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The interest rate collar agreement reduces variable interest rate risk from May 31, 2023, through May 31, 2026, with a notional amount of $300.0 million as of June 30, 2023. The terms of the agreement provide for an interest rate cap of 5.50% and floor of 2.295%, based on the three month SOFR as of the fixing date. We pay variable interest quarterly until the three month SOFR reaches the floor. If the three month SOFR is between the floor and the cap, no payment is due to either party. If the three month SOFR is greater than the cap, the counterparty pays us. The interest rate collar transaction expires on May 31, 2026. As of December 31, 2022, we did not hold any interest rate derivative instruments.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Purchase Price Allocation of Billings Acquisition
The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the Billings Acquisition were estimated as of June 1, 2023, the date of the acquisition, using valuation techniques described in notes (1) through (5) below.

(1)Current assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their net realizable value. Other long-term assets includes preliminary costs for future turnarounds that were recently incurred and were recorded at their net realizable value.
(2)The fair value of personal property was estimated using the cost approach. Key assumptions in the cost approach include determining the replacement cost by evaluating recent purchases of comparable assets or published data, and adjusting replacement cost for economic and functional obsolescence, location, normal useful lives, and capacity (if applicable). The fair value of real property was estimated using the market approach. Key assumptions in the market approach include determining the asset value by evaluating recent purchases of comparable assets under similar circumstances. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.
(3)Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities were recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using the incremental borrowing rate at acquisition of 9.6%.

(4)The fair value of our investments in YELP and YPLC were determined using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we estimated the present value of expected future cash flows using a market participant discount rate. Under the market approach, we estimated fair value using observable multiples for comparable companies in the investments’ industries. These valuation methods require us to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows, capital projects, commodity prices, long-term growth rates, and discount rates. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.
(5)Environmental liabilities are based on management’s best estimates of probable future costs using currently available information. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
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 from independent price reporting agencies and commodity exchange price curves that are corroborated with market data. Level 3 instruments are valued using significant unobservable inputs that are not supported by sufficient market activity. 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 and West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (“WTI”) indices, and unobservable inputs, such as contractual price differentials as defined in the Supply and Offtake Agreement and Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement. Such contractual differentials vary by location and by the type of product, have a weighted average premium of $11.09, and range from a discount of $5.64 per barrel to a premium of $48.39 per barrel as of June 30, 2023. Contractual price differentials are considered unobservable inputs; therefore, these embedded derivatives are classified as Level 3 instruments. We did not have other commodity derivatives classified as Level 3 at June 30, 2023, or December 31, 2022. Please read Note 12—Derivatives for further information on derivatives.
Gross Environmental credit obligations
Estimates of our gross environmental credit obligations are based on the amount of RINs or other environmental credits required to comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the State of Washington’s regulations and the market prices of those RINs or other environmental credits as of the end of the reporting period. The gross environmental credit obligations are classified as Level 2 instruments as we obtain the pricing inputs for our RINs and other environmental credits from brokers based on market quotes on similar instruments. Please read Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies for further information on the EPA and the State of Washington’s regulations related to greenhouse gases.

The fair value of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, Other long-term debt, 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 Term Loan Credit Agreement, Other long-term debt, 7.75% Senior Secured Notes, Term Loan B Facility, and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes may not be actively traded.
The carrying value of our ABL Credit Facility was determined to approximate fair value as of June 30, 2023. 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 15—Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various lawsuits and other contingent matters. Additionally, we assumed certain liabilities associated with the Billings Acquisition. Please read Note 5—Acquisitions for further information. 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.
Tax and Related Matters
We are also party to various other legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory, tax or government audits, inquiries, and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business. For example, during the first quarter of 2022 we received a tax assessment in the amount of $1.4 million from the Washington Department of Revenue related to its audit of certain taxes allegedly payable on certain sales of raw vacuum gas oil that occurred between 2014 and 2016. We believe the Department of Revenue’s interpretation is in conflict with its prior guidance and we appealed in November 2022. By opinion dated September 22, 2021, the Hawaii Attorney General reversed a prior 1964 opinion exempting various business transactions conducted in the Hawaii foreign trade zone from certain state taxes. We and other similarly situated state taxpayers who had previously claimed such exemptions are currently being audited for such prior tax periods. Similarly, on September 30, 2021, we received notice of a complaint filed on May 17, 2021, on camera and under seal in the first circuit court of the state of Hawaii alleging that Par Hawaii Refining, LLC, Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. and certain unnamed defendants made false claims and statements in connection with various state tax returns related to our business conducted within the Hawaii foreign trade zone, and seeking

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
unspecified damages, penalties, interest and injunctive relief. We dispute the allegations in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in such proceeding. We believe the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in these matters to be neither probable nor reasonably estimable.
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. 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 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, 2023, we have accrued $14.5 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 $300,000.
Washington Climate Commitment Act and Clean Fuel Standard
In 2021, the Washington legislature passed the Climate Commitment Act (“Washington CCA”), which established a cap and invest program designed to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Rules implementing the Washington CCA by the Washington Department of Ecology set a cap on greenhouse gas emissions, provide mechanisms for the sale and tracking of tradable emissions allowances, and establish additional compliance and accountability measures. The Washington CCA became effective in January 2023 and the first auction for emissions allowances took place in February 2023. Additionally, a low carbon fuel standard (the “Clean Fuel Standard”) that limits carbon in transportation fuels and enables certain producers to buy or sell credits was also signed into law and became effective in 2023. We will be required to purchase compliance credits or allowances if we are unable to reduce emissions at our Tacoma refinery or reduce the amount of carbon in the transportation fuels we sell in Washington, which could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Regulation of Greenhouse Gases
Under the Energy Independence and Security Act (the “EISA”), the Renewable Fuel Standard (the “RFS”) requires an increasing amount of renewable fuel to be blended into the nation’s transportation fuel supply. Over time, higher annual RFS requirements have the potential to reduce demand for our refined transportation fuel products. In the near term, the RFS will be satisfied primarily with fuel ethanol blended into gasoline or by purchasing renewable credits, referred to as RINs, to maintain compliance. For additional information, please read Item 1. — Business — Environmental Regulations on our Annual Report

on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, our estimate of the renewable volume obligation (“RVO”) liability for the 2020 and 2022 compliance years is based on the RFS volumetric requirements which the EPA finalized on June 3, 2022. Our RVO liability for the 2023 compliance year is based on the RFS volumetric requirements that were proposed on December 1, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we settled a portion of our 2020 and all of our 2021 RVO liabilities, which resulted in a gain of $94.7 million associated with the difference between the carrying value of the RINs retired and the market value of the RVO settled. This gain is included in Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
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.
There will be compliance costs and uncertainties regarding how we will comply with the various requirements contained in the EISA, RFS, 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.
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, 2023, 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.
Note 16—Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Program
On November 10, 2021, the Board authorized and approved a share repurchase program for up to $50 million of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, with no specified end date. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 110 thousand shares in total were repurchased under this share repurchase program for $2.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 362 thousand shares were repurchased under this share repurchase program for $5 million. No shares were repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The repurchased shares were retired by the Company upon receipt. As of June 30, 2023, there was $43.3 million of authorization remaining under this share repurchase program. On August 2, 2023, the Board approved expanding the Company’s share repurchase authorization from $50 million to $250 million.

As of June 30, 2023, there were approximately $15.0 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 1.7 years.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we granted no stock option awards. As of June 30, 2023, there were approximately $2.8 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 1.6 years.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we granted 90 thousand performance restricted stock units to executive officers, but no grants were made for the three months ended June 30, 2023. These performance restricted stock units had a fair value of approximately $2.5 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, 2023, there were approximately $2.6 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 2.4 years.

Note 18—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, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
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, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $1.2 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—Segment Information
We report the results for the following four reportable segments: (i) Refining, (ii) Retail, (iii) Logistics, and (iv) Corporate and Other. Commencing June 1, 2023, the results of operations of the Billings Acquisition are included in our refining and logistics segments.

Note 20—Subsequent Events
LC Facility
On July 26, 2023, PHR, as borrower, entered into an Uncommitted Credit Agreement (the “LC Facility Agreement”) whereby the lenders agree to consider making revolving credit loans and issuing and participating in letters of credit for the account of PHR in the maximum available amount of $120 million in the aggregate (the “LC Facility”) with the right to request an increase up to $350 million in the aggregate, subject to conditions. Letters of credit issued under the Uncommitted Facility are intended finance and provide credit support for certain of PHR’s purchases of crude oil from crude oil suppliers and proceeds of revolving credit loans may be used to pay suppliers when due. PHR has agreed to pay customary fees and commissions under this agreement. The LC Facility Agreement requires PHR to comply with various covenants including compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant as discussed below.
Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Supply and Offtake Agreement
On July 26, 2023, and in connection with entering into the LC Facility Agreement, PHR, Par Petroleum, as guarantor, and J. Aron entered into an Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Supply and Offtake Agreement. This amendment allows PHR to enter into a crude oil procurement contract supported by a letter of credit and have its purchases funded by J. Aron, subject to certain conditions. Under this amendment, PHR agrees that it shall not permit the liquidity of PHR for any three consecutive business days to be less than $15 million at any time, with at least $15 million of such liquidity consisting of cash and cash equivalents.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a growing energy company based in Houston, Texas, that provides both renewable and conventional fuels to the western United States.
Our business is organized into three primary segments:
1) Refining - We own and operate four refineries with total operating throughput capacity of 218 thousand barrels per day (“Mbpd”) in Hawaii, Wyoming, Washington, and Montana. On June 1, 2023, we purchased a refinery in Billings, Montana that processes Western Canadian and regional Rocky Mountain crude oil and a 65% interest in an adjacent cogeneration facility.
2) Retail - Our retail outlets in Hawaii, Washington, and Idaho sell gasoline, diesel, and retail merchandise through Hele and “76” 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 energy infrastructure network spanning the Pacific, the Northwest, and the Rocky Mountain regions to transport and store crude oil and refined products for our refineries and transport refined products to our retail sites or third-party purchasers. On June 1, 2023, we purchased distribution and logistics assets in the upper Rockies region, including the wholly owned 70-mile, 55 Mbpd Silvertip Pipeline, a 40% interest in the 750-mile, 65 Mbpd Yellowstone refined products pipeline, and four wholly owned and three joint venture refined product terminals.
As of June 30, 2023, we owned a 46.0% equity investment in Laramie Energy. Laramie Energy is focused on developing and producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco counties, Colorado. As noted in the Refining and Logistics discussions above, as of June 30, 2023 through the Billings Acquisition, we own a 65% and a 40% equity investment in YELP and YPLC, respectively.
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, business development expenses associated with renewable fuel projects, and Par West redevelopment and other costs. Please read Note 19—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
Crude oil pricing decreased in the first half of 2023, compared to the volatility noted in the second half of 2022. In the first half of 2023, Brent crude oil pricing decreased to $80 per barrel compared to $107 per barrel in the second half of 2022. In addition, in the first half of 2023 U.S. retail gasoline prices decreased to $3.59 per gallon compared to $4.17 per gallon in the second half of 2022. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) in its May 2023 short term energy outlook is forecasting average Brent crude oil pricing of $73 per barrel in 2023 due to ongoing considerations about weakening global economic conditions, perceived risk around the global banking sector, and persistent inflation. Refined product crack spreads in the second quarter of 2023 decreased as compared to the second quarter of 2022, largely driven by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that escalated in February 2022. In addition, U.S retail gasoline prices are expected to decrease by 20% to $3.40 per gallon during the summer 2023 driving season (April-September) compared to summer 2022. On April 3, 2023, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) announced a cut to crude oil production of 1.2 MMbpd through the end of 2023. The EIA expects the drop in OPEC crude oil production and the seasonal rise in oil consumption to put upward pressure on crude oil prices. On June 4, 2023, Saudi Arabia, the largest producer in the OPEC cartel, announced an additional 1 MMbpd cut to its production beginning with its July export program. The Kingdom announced during early August that those cuts would be extended through the end of the year. As a result, crude oil prices have returned to levels closer to 2022 than crude oil prices during the first half of 2023. Please read Item 1A. — Risk Factors on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for further information.
Results of Operations
30
Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022
Net Income. Our financial results for the second quarter of 2023 declined from net income of $149.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to net income of $30.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a $124.7 million decrease in refining segment operating income, $7.8 million higher general and administrative expenses, and $7.3 million higher acquisition and integration expenses also related to our Billings Acquisition, partially offset by a $9.7 million improvement in our retail segment operating income. Please read the discussions of segment and consolidated results below for additional information.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA was $150.8 million compared to $242.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The $91.3 million decrease was primarily related to a decrease of $99.6 million in our refining segment, partially offset by an increase of $9.9 million in our retail segment. Please read the discussion of segment results below for additional information.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, Adjusted Net Income was $105.6 million compared to an Adjusted Net Income of $197.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decline was primarily related to the factors described above for the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.
Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022
Net Income. Our financial results improved from a net income of $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to net income of $267.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven by a $256.8 million increase in refining segment operating income and a $19.1 million increase in retail segment operating income, partially offset by a $12.4 million increase in acquisitions and integration expenses related to our Billings Acquisition, and a $11.2 million increase in general and administrative expenses. Please read the discussions of segment and consolidated results below for additional information.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA was $318.5 million compared to $254.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The improvement was primarily related to an increase of $48.8 million in our refining segment, combined with an increase of $19.6 million in our retail segment, an increase of $7.6 million in our logistics segment, offset by a decrease of $11.9 million in our corporate segment. Please read the discussion of segment results below for additional information.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Adjusted Net Income was $243.1 million compared to $169.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The improvement was primarily related to the same factors described above for the increase in Adjusted EBITDA as well as our receipt of a $10.7 million distribution from Laramie Energy.

________________________________________________________
(1)Feedstocks throughput and sales volumes per day for the Montana refinery for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are calculated based on the 30-day period for which we owned the Montana refinery in 2023. As such, the 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, 2023 plus the Montana refinery’s throughput or sales volumes averaged over the period from June 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023. The 2022 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, 2022.
(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. The definition of Adjusted Gross Margin was modified beginning with the financial results reported for the second quarter in fiscal year 2022. We have recast Adjusted Gross Margin for prior periods when reported to conform to the modified presentation. 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 consolidated statement of operations, which also includes costs related to our bulk marketing operations.
36
(4)We believe 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)) is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Hawaii.
(5)We believe the RVO Adjusted Pacific Northwest 3-1-1-1 (or three barrels of WTI crude oil converted into one barrel of Pacific Northwest gasoline, one barrel of Pacific Northwest ULSD and one barrel of USGC VGO, less 100% of the RVO cost for gasoline and ULSD) is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Washington with improved historical correlations to our reported adjusted gross margin compared to prior reported indices.
(6)We believe the RVO Adjusted USGC 3-2-1 (or three barrels of WTI crude oil converted into two barrels of USGC gasoline and one barrel of USGC ULSD, less 100% of the RVO cost) is the most representative market indicator for our operations in Montana and Wyoming with improved historical correlations to our reported adjusted gross margin compared to prior reported indices.
(7)Crude pricing has been updated to reflect simple averages of outright prices during the relevant period.

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 in isolation or as substitutes or alternatives to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies since each company may define these terms differently.
We believe Adjusted Gross Margin (as defined below) 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 and 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 and amortization. Management uses Adjusted Gross Margin per barrel to evaluate operating performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry and to industry benchmarks. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) 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.
Beginning with financial results reported for periods in fiscal year 2023, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net obligation related to the Washington Climate Commitment Act and Clean Fuel Standard effective beginning in 2023. These modifications were made to better reflect our operating performance and to improve comparability between periods.
Beginning with financial results reported for periods in fiscal year 2023, Adjusted Net Income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude the redevelopment and other costs for our Par West facility, which was shut down in 2020. This modification improves comparability between periods by excluding expenses incurred in connection with the strategic redevelopment of this non-operating facility. We have recast Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods when reported to conform to the modified presentation.
Beginning with financial results report for the second quarter of 2023, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude our portion of interest, taxes, and depreciation expense from our refining and logistics investments.
Adjusted Gross Margin
Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as operating income (loss) excluding:
37
•operating expense (excluding depreciation);
•depreciation and amortization (“D&A”);
•Par’s portion of interest, taxes, and depreciation expense from refining and logistics investments;
•impairment expense;
•loss (gain) on sale of assets, net;
•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 or terminal obligations, contango (gains) and backwardation losses associated with our Washington inventory and intermediation obligation, and purchase price allocation adjustments);
•LIFO layer liquidation impacts associated with our Washington inventory;
•Environmental obligation mark-to-market adjustment (which represents the income statement effect of reflecting our RINs liability on a net basis; this adjustment also includes the mark-to-market losses (gains) associated with our net RINs liability and our net obligation associated with the Washington Climate Commitment Act and Clean Fuel Standard); and
•unrealized loss (gain) on derivatives.

Factors Impacting Segment Results
Operating Income
Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022
Refining. Operating income for our refining segment was $44.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $124.7 million compared to an income of $168.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by:
• | a decrease of $145.9 million related to decreased crack spreads at all our refineries, | ||||
• | a decrease of $60.0 million related to an unfavorable change in crude oil differentials at our Hawaii refinery, and | ||||
• | a $12.0 million unfavorable FIFO change at our Wyoming refinery, | ||||
partially offset by:
40
• | an increase of $88.3 million related to a favorable change in the step-out obligation related to our inventory financing agreements driven by changes in commodity prices, and | ||||
• | an increase of $21.6 million driven by a 17.7% increase in refined product sales across our refineries. | ||||
Logistics. Operating income for our logistics segment was $20.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $4.8 million compared to $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is primarily due to contribution from Billings logistics assets during June 2023.

•Adjusted Gross Margin for the Wyoming refinery decreased by $22.78 per barrel from $43.34 per barrel during the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $20.56 per barrel during the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to declining crack spreads and an unfavorable FIFO change of $12.0 million. The RVO Adjusted USGC 3-2-1 index declined from $42.24 in the second quarter of 2022 to $21.65 in the second quarter of 2023.
Logistics. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was $29.6 million, an increase of $4.7 million compared to $24.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is primarily due to a 4% increase in throughput across our logistics assets.
Retail. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was $39.2 million, an increase of $11.6 million compared to $27.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an
41
increase in fuel margins, higher fuel sales volumes, and increased merchandise sales in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the comparable period in 2022.
Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022
Refining. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our refining Adjusted Gross Margin was $417.2 million, an increase of $67.2 million compared to $350.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to Adjusted Gross Margin contributed by the Montana refinery of $58.2 million. Other factors impacting refining results are described below.
•Adjusted Gross Margin for the Hawaii refinery improved by $4.19 per barrel from $11.22 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $15.41 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to higher refined products sold partially offset by lower crack spreads. The Singapore 3-2-1 index declined from $26.56 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $17.45 in the six months ended June 30, 2023.
•Adjusted Gross Margin for the Washington refinery decreased by $5.51 per barrel from $14.17 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $8.66 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to declining product crack spreads. The RVO Adjusted Pacific Northwest 3-1-1-1 index declined from $35.01 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $25.21 in the six months ended June 30, 2023.
•Adjusted Gross Margin for the Wyoming refinery decreased by $10.92 per barrel from $34.97 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $24.05 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to declining crack spreads and unfavorable FIFO changes of $32 million. The RVO Adjusted USGS 3-2-1 index declined from $30.31 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $24.09 in the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Logistics. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our logistics Adjusted Gross Margin was $50.6 million, an increase of $7.0 million compared to $43.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased revenues from third party services and a 10% increase in throughput across our Washington assets, partially offset by a 36% increase in cost of sales driven primarily by higher marine vessel fees and fuel costs.
Retail. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our retail Adjusted Gross Margin was $76.6 million, an increase of $23.0 million compared to $53.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in fuel margins, higher fuel sales volumes, and increased merchandise sales.
Discussion of Consolidated Results
Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022
Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, revenues were $1.8 billion, a $0.3 billion decrease compared to $2.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in crude prices and average product crack spreads discussed below, partially offset by a $0.2 billion contribution from the Billings Acquisition and a 4% increase in refining sales volumes across our legacy refinery portfolio during the quarter. Average Brent crude oil prices declined 31% and average WTI crude oil prices declined 32% during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022. The 3-1-2 Singapore Crack Spread, RVO Adjusted Pacific Northwest 3-1-1-1, and RVO Adjusted USGC 3-2-1 declined 63%, 47%, and 49%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Please read our key operating statistics for further information. Revenues at our retail segment increased $1.2 million primarily due to a 14% increase in volumes and a 13% increase in merchandise sales, partially offset by a 13% decline in fuel prices.
Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation). For the three months ended June 30, 2023, cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) was $1.6 billion, a decrease of $0.2 billion when compared to $1.8 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased crude oil prices as described above and lower purchased product costs, partially offset by a $0.2 billion contribution from the Billings Acquisition. Cost of sales at our retail segment decreased $10 million primarily driven by a decrease in fuel costs.
Operating Expense (Excluding Depreciation). For the three months ended June 30, 2023, operating expense (excluding depreciation) was $101.8 million, a $20.9 million increase when compared to $80.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. $15.3 million of the increase was driven by the Billings Acquisition. Additional drivers of the increase were higher utility and maintenance costs and increased employee costs.
42

Consolidating Condensed Financial Information
On February 28, 2023, Par Petroleum, LLC (the “Issuer”) entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement due 2030 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Term Loan Credit Agreement was co-issued by Par Petroleum Finance Corp. (together with the Issuer, the “Issuers”), which has no independent assets or operations. The Term Loan Credit Agreement is guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis only as to payment of principal and interest by Par Pacific Holdings, Inc.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement proceeds were used to refinance our existing Term Loan B Facility and repurchase our outstanding 7.75% Senior Secured Notes and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes, all three of which had similar guarantees that were replaced by those on the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial information reflects (i) the Parent’s separate accounts, (ii) Par Petroleum, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries’ accounts (which are all guarantors of the Term Loan Credit Agreement), (iii) the accounts of subsidiaries of the Parent that are not guarantors of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and consolidating adjustments and eliminations, and (iv) the Parent’s consolidated accounts for the dates and periods indicated.

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, 2023 was $464.4 million and consisted of $457.1 million at Par Petroleum, LLC and subsidiaries, $7.2 million at Par Pacific Holdings, Inc., and $0.1 million at all our other subsidiaries.
As of June 30, 2023, we had access to the ABL Credit Facility, the J. Aron Discretionary Draw Facility, the MLC receivable advances, and cash on hand of $191.0 million. In addition, we have the Supply and Offtake Agreement 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. On June 1, 2023 we closed the Billings Acquisition; please read Note 5—Acquisitions for further information. On April 26, 2023, we terminated the Prior ABL Credit Facility with certain lenders and Bank of America and entered into a new ABL Credit Facility. Please read Note 11—Debt for further information about the ABL Credit Facility. On July 26, 2023, we entered into a new LC Facility. Please read Note 20—Subsequent Events for further information about the LC Facility.
We believe our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our current capital expenditures, working capital, and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. We may seek to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund acquisitions and 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 common stock through cash purchases, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. The Term Loan Credit Agreement may also require annual prepayments of principal with a variable percentage of our excess cash flow, 50% or 25% depending on our consolidated year end secured net leverage ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement).

Please read Note 11—Debt for more information.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no material changes to critical accounting estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Forward-Looking Statements

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, 2023 of 162 thousand bpd, would change annualized operating income by approximately $58.4 million. This analysis may differ from actual results.
In order to manage commodity price risks, we utilize exchange-traded futures, OTC options, and 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. All our open futures and OTC swaps at June 30, 2023, will settle by December 2024. Based on our net open positions at June 30, 2023, a $1 change in the price of crude oil, assuming all other factors remain constant, would result in a
57
change of approximately $2.8 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, 2023, we consumed approximately 142 thousand bpd of crude oil during the refining process across all our refineries. We internally consumed approximately 3% of this throughput in the refining process during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, which is accounted for as a fuel cost. We have executed option collars to economically hedge our internally consumed fuel cost at all our refineries. Please read Note 12—Derivatives to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
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 RVO is based on a percentage of our Hawaii, Wyoming, Washington, and Montana refineries’ production of on-road transportation fuel. The EPA sets the RVO percentages annually. On June 3, 2022, the EPA finalized the 2021 and 2022 RVOs, reduced the existing 2020 RVO, denied 69 small refinery exemption petitions including ours, and proposed that certain small refineries be permitted to use an alternative RIN retirement schedule for their 2019-2020 compliance obligations. 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 we deem the price of these instruments to be 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.
Additionally, we are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of compliance credits required to comply with Washington CCA and Clean Fuel Standard. To the extent we are unable to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation fuels we sell in Washington, we must purchase compliance credits at auction or in the open market. The number of credits required to comply with the Washington CCA and Clean Fuel Standard is based on the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation fuels we sell in Washington compared to certain regulatory limits. To mitigate the impact of this risk on our results of operations and cash flows, we may purchase credits when we deem the price to be favorable.
Interest Rate Risk
As of June 30, 2023, we had $589.6 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 Agreement and the MLC Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement for which we pay charges based on the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and SOFR, respectively. 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 $0.9 million and $8.1 million per year, respectively. We may utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2023 we had entered into an interest rate collar at a cap of 5.50% and floor of 2.295%, based on the three month SOFR as of the fixing date. This swap expires on May 31, 2026. Please read Note 12—Derivatives for more information.
We have one contract that references LIBOR as of June 30, 2023. Effective July 1, 2023, this facility will reference daily SOFR. Please read Note 11—Debt for more information.
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, 2023, 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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the acquisition of ExxonMobil’s Billings refinery, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are currently in the process of integrating the Billings refinery operations, control processes and information systems into our systems and control environment and will include them in scope for the year ending December 31, 2024. We believe that we have taken the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting during this integration.
