CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements”, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, of expected future developments that involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that relate to our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results or to our expectations regarding future industry trends are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, which we refer to as “cautionary statements,” are disclosed under "Item 1A. Risk Factors", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 of PBF Energy Inc., which we refer to as our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our other filings with the SEC. All forward-looking information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include:

• supply, demand, prices and other market conditions for our products, including volatility in commodity prices;

• the effects of competition in our markets;

•changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and capital costs;

• adverse developments in our relationship with both our key employees and unionized employees;

•our ability to operate our businesses efficiently, manage capital expenditures and costs (including general and administrative expenses) and generate earnings and cash flow;

•our substantial indebtedness;

•our supply and inventory intermediation arrangements expose us to counterparty credit and performance risk;

•termination of our Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, as we would be required to finance our intermediate and refined products inventory covered by the agreements. Additionally, we are obligated to repurchase from J. Aron certain intermediates and finished products located at the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries’ storage tanks upon termination of these agreements;

•restrictive covenants in our indebtedness that may adversely affect our operational flexibility;

•payments to the current and former holders of PBF LLC Series A Units and PBF LLC Series B Units under our tax receivable agreement for certain tax benefits we may claim;

•our assumptions regarding payments arising under the tax receivable agreement and other arrangements relating to our organizational structure are subject to change due to various factors, including, among other factors, the timing of exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of our Class A common stock as contemplated by the tax receivable agreement, the price of our Class A common stock at the time of such exchanges, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable, and the amount and timing of our income;

•our expectations and timing with respect to our acquisition activity and whether such acquisitions are accretive or dilutive to shareholders;

•our expectations and timing with respect to our capital improvement and turnaround projects;

•the status of an air permit to transfer crude through the Delaware City refinery's dock;

•the impact of disruptions to crude or feedstock supply to any of our refineries, including disruptions due to

problems at PBFX or with third party logistics infrastructure or operations, including pipeline, marine and rail transportation;

•the possibility that we might reduce or not make further dividend payments;

•the inability of our subsidiaries to freely pay dividends or make distributions to us;

•the impact of current and future laws, rulings and governmental regulations, including the implementation of rules and regulations regarding transportation of crude oil by rail;

•adverse impacts related to any change by the federal government in the restrictions on exporting U.S. crude oil including relaxing limitations on the export of certain types of crude oil or condensates or the lifting of the restrictions entirely;

•market risks related to the volatility in the price of Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINS") required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standards;

•adverse impacts from changes in our regulatory environment or actions taken by environmental interest groups;

•our ability to consummate the Chalmette Acquisition, the timing for the closing of such acquisition and our plans for financing such acquisition;

•our ability to complete the successful integration of the Chalmette Acquisition into our business and to realize the benefits from such acquisition;

•unforeseen liabilities associated with the Chalmette Acquisition;

•the costs of being a public company, including Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance;

•risk associated with the operation of PBFX as a separate, publicly-traded entity;

•potential tax consequences related to our investment in PBFX; and

•receipt of regulatory approvals and compliance with contractual obligations required in connection with PBFX.

We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all of the material factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not in fact occur. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on those statements.

Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, and we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the Business

PBF Energy Inc. ("PBF Energy") was formed as a Delaware corporation in 2011 and completed an initial public offering in December 2012. PBF Energy is the sole managing member of PBF Energy Company LLC ("PBF LLC"), a Delaware limited liability company, with a controlling interest in PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries and records a noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements representing the economic interests of PBF LLC's members other than PBF Energy. PBF LLC, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, owns and operates oil refineries and related facilities in North America. PBF Holding Company LLC ("PBF Holding") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF LLC. PBF Finance Corporation ("PBF Finance") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding. Delaware City Refining Company LLC ("Delaware City Refining" or "DCR"), PBF Power Marketing LLC, PBF Energy Limited, Paulsboro Refining Company LLC, Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline Company LLC and Toledo Refining Company LLC are PBF LLC’s principal operating subsidiaries and are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of PBF Holding. PBF LLC also holds a 53.8% limited partner interest and all of the incentive distribution rights in PBF Logistics LP ("PBFX"), a publicly traded master limited partnership (refer to Note 2 "PBF Logistics LP" of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). PBF Logistics GP LLC (“PBF GP”) owns the noneconomic general partner interest and serves as the general partner of PBFX and is wholly-owned by PBF LLC. PBF Energy, through its ownership of PBF LLC, consolidates the financial results of PBFX and its subsidiaries and records a noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements representing the economic interests of PBFX's unit holders other than PBF LLC. Collectively, PBF Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries, including PBF LLC, PBF Holding, and PBFX are referred to hereinafter as the "Company" unless the context otherwise requires.

On February 6, 2015, the Company completed a public offering of 3,804,653 shares of Class A common stock in a secondary offering (the "February 2015 secondary offering"). All of the shares in the February 2015 secondary offering were sold by funds affiliated with Blackstone Group L.P., or Blackstone, and First Reserve Management, L.P., or First Reserve. In connection with the February 2015 secondary offering, Blackstone and First Reserve exchanged all of their remaining PBF LLC Series A Units for an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock of PBF Energy, and as a result, Blackstone and First Reserve no longer hold any PBF LLC Series A Units or shares of PBF Energy Class A Common stock. The holders of PBF LLC Series B Units, which include certain executive officers of PBF Energy and others, received a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the PBF Energy Class A common stock by Blackstone and First Reserve in accordance with the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC. PBF Energy did not receive any proceeds from the February 2015 secondary offering. As of June 30, 2015, the Company owns 85,922,092 PBF LLC Series C Units and the Company's executive officers and directors and certain employees and others beneficially own 5,147,838 PBF LLC Series A Units. The holders of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock have 94.3% of the voting power in the Company and the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy through their holdings of Class B common stock have the remaining 5.7% of the voting power in the Company.

Substantially all of the Company’s operations are in the United States. The Company operates in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. The Company’s three oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and are aggregated into the Refining segment. PBFX is a publicly traded master limited partnership that was formed to operate logistical assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, and storage facilities. PBFX's operations are aggregated into the Logistics segment. To generate earnings and cash flows from operations, the Company is primarily dependent upon processing crude oil and selling refined petroleum products at margins sufficient to cover fixed and variable costs and other expenses. Crude oil and refined petroleum products are commodities; and factors largely out of the Company’s control can cause prices to vary over time. The potential margin volatility can have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, earnings and cash flow.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 of PBF Energy. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" ("ASU 2015-03"), which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. PBF LOGISTICS LP

On May 14, 2014, PBFX completed its initial public offering (the “PBFX Offering”) of 15,812,500 common units. As of June 30, 2015, PBF LLC holds a 53.8% limited partner interest in PBFX (consisting of 2,572,944 common units and 15,886,553 subordinated units) and all of PBFX's incentive distribution rights, with the remaining 46.2% limited partner interest held by public common unit holders. PBF LLC also owns indirectly a non-economic general partner interest in PBFX through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF GP, the general partner of PBFX. During the subordination period (as set forth in the partnership agreement of PBFX) holders of the subordinated units are not entitled to receive any distribution of available cash until the common units have received the minimum quarterly distribution plus any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution from prior quarters. If PBFX does not pay distributions on the subordinated units, the subordinated units will not accrue arrearages for those unpaid distributions. Each subordinated unit will convert into one common unit at the end of the subordination period.

PBFX engages in the receiving, handling and transferring of crude oil and the receipt, storage and delivery of crude oil, refined products and intermediates from sources located throughout the United States and Canada for PBF Energy in support of its three refineries. All of PBFX’s revenue is derived from long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with PBF Holding, which include minimum volume commitments, for receiving, handling and transferring crude oil and refined products and storing crude oil and refined products. PBF Energy also has agreements with PBFX that establish fees for certain general and administrative services and operational and maintenance services provided by PBF Holding to PBFX. These transactions are eliminated by PBF Energy in consolidation.

PBFX’s initial assets consisted of a light crude oil rail unloading terminal at the Delaware City refinery that also services the Paulsboro refinery (which is referred to as the “Delaware City Rail Terminal”), and a crude oil truck unloading terminal at the Toledo refinery (which is referred to as the “Toledo Truck Terminal”) that are integral components of the crude oil delivery operations at all three of PBF Energy’s refineries. On September 30, 2014, PBF LLC contributed to PBFX all of the equity interests of Delaware City Terminaling Company II LLC, which assets consist solely of the Delaware City heavy crude unloading rack (the "DCR West Rack"), for total consideration of $150,000. On December 11, 2014, PBF LLC contributed to PBFX all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Toledo Terminaling Company LLC, whose assets consist of a tank farm and related facilities located at our Toledo refinery, including a propane storage and loading facility (the "Toledo Storage

Facility"), for total consideration of $150,000. On May 14, 2015 PBF LLC contributed to PBFX all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Delaware Pipeline Company LLC ("DPC") and Delaware City Logistics Company LLC ("DCLC"), whose assets consist of a products pipeline, truck rack and related facilities located at our Delaware City refinery (collectively the "Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack"), for total consideration of $143,000.

PBFX, a variable interest entity, is consolidated by PBF Energy through its ownership of PBF LLC. PBF LLC through its ownership of PBF GP, has the sole ability to direct the activities of PBFX that most significantly impact its economic performance. PBF LLC is considered to be the primary beneficiary of PBFX for accounting purposes.

connection with its crude supply agreement; and intermediates and light finished products sold to counterparties in connection with the intermediation agreements and stored in the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries' storage facilities.

Due to the lower crude oil and refined product pricing environment at the end of 2014 and into the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded adjustments to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which increased operating income and net income by $105,958 and $63,363, respectively, reflecting the net change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $668,902 at March 31, 2015 to $562,944 at June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which increased operating income and net income by $127,166 and $76,045, respectively, reflecting the net change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $690,110 at December 31, 2014 to $562,944 at June 30, 2015.

The Company has the obligation to repurchase certain intermediates and finished products that are held in the Company’s refinery storage tanks at the Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries in accordance with the Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("J. Aron"). A liability is recognized for the Inventory supply and intermediation arrangements and is recorded at market price for the J. Aron owned inventory held in the Company's storage tanks under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements, with any change in the market price being recorded in cost of sales.

The Company is subject to obligations to purchase Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") required to comply with the Renewable Fuels Standard. The Company's overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). To the degree the Company is unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy its RINs obligation, RINs must be purchased on the open market to avoid penalties and fines. The Company records its RINs obligation on a net basis in accrued expenses when its RINs liability is greater than the amount of RINs earned and purchased in a given period and in Prepaid expenses and other current assets when the amount of RINs earned and purchased is greater than the RINs liability.

7. CREDIT FACILITIES

On April 29, 2015, PBF Rail Logistics LLC ("PBF Rail"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding, entered into the First Amendment to Loan Agreement (as amended, the “Rail Facility”) among Credit Agricole Corporate + Investment Bank as Administrative Agent, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as Collateral Agent, DVB Bank SE as Syndication Agent, ING Bank, a branch of ING-DiBa AG as Documentation Agent and certain other Continuing Lenders, as defined in the agreement. The primary purpose of the Rail Facility is to fund the acquisition by PBF Rail of coiled and insulated crude tank cars and non-coiled and non-insulated general purpose crude tank cars. The amendments to the Rail Facility include the extension of the maturity to April 29, 2017, the reduction of the total commitment from $250,000 to $150,000, and the reduction of the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Rail Facility.

On May 12, 2015, PBFX entered into an indenture among the Partnership, PBF Logistics Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership ("PBF Logistics Finance," and together with the Partnership, the "Issuers"), the Guarantors named therein (certain subsidiaries of PBFX) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, under which the Issuers issued $350,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "PBFX Senior Notes"). PBF LLC has provided a limited guarantee of collection of the principal amount of the PBFX Senior Notes, but is not otherwise subject to the covenants of the indenture. Of the $350,000 aggregate PBFX Senior Notes, $19,910 were purchased by certain of PBF Energy’s officers and directors and their affiliates and family members pursuant to a separate private placement transaction. After deducting offering expenses, PBFX received net proceeds of approximately $343,000 from the PBFX Senior Notes offering.

8. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The U.S Treasury securities purchased by the Company with the proceeds from the PBFX Offering are used as collateral to secure a three-year, $300,000 term loan facility entered into by PBFX (the "PBFX Term Loan"). PBFX anticipates holding the securities for an indefinite amount of time (the securities will be rolled over as they mature). As necessary and at the discretion of PBFX, these securities are expected to be liquidated and the proceeds used to fund future capital expenditures. While PBFX does not routinely sell marketable securities prior to their scheduled maturity dates, some of PBFX's investments may be held and restricted for the purpose of funding future capital expenditures and acquisitions, so these investments are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities as they may occasionally be sold prior to their scheduled maturity dates due to the unexpected timing of cash needs. The carrying value of these marketable securities approximates fair value and are measured using Level 1 inputs. The maturities of the marketable securities range from one to three months and are classified on the balance sheet in non-current assets.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company held $234,249 and $234,930, respectively, in marketable securities. The gross unrecognized holding gains and losses as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were not material. The net realized gains or losses from the sale of marketable securities were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

9. INCOME TAXES

PBF Energy files federal and applicable state corporate income tax returns and recognizes income taxes on its pre-tax income, which to date has consisted solely of its share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income (approximately 89.9% prior to the February 2015 secondary offering and approximately 94.3% subsequent to the February 2015 secondary offering as of June 30, 2015). PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is a master limited partnership, both of which are treated as "flow-through" entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income taxes. As a result, PBF Energy's condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests in PBF LLC or PBFX.

The income tax provision in the PBF Energy condensed consolidated financial statements of operations consisted of the following:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Current tax expense	$	39,571	$	11,344	$	65,541	$	28,063
Deferred tax expense	50,838		2,130		74,006		35,090
Total tax expense	$	90,409	$	13,474	$	139,547	$	63,153

Income tax expense is based on income before taxes attributable to PBF Energy and excludes income before taxes attributable to noncontrolling interests as such interests are not subject to income taxes. The difference between the Company’s income tax expense and the income tax provision computed by applying the United States statutory rate and the difference between the Company’s effective income tax rate and the United States statutory rate are reconciled below:

Total	$	139,547		38.5	%	$	63,153		39.2	%

The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, including the impact of income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $22,650 and $38,447, respectively, was 36.3% and 34.8%, respectively.The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, including the impact of income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $24,877 and $130,704, respectively, was 22.7% and 21.6%, respectively.

PBF Energy has determined there are no material uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2015. PBF Energy does not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters

The Company’s refineries are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment, waste management and the characteristics and the compositions of fuels. Compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations can increase the overall cost of operating the refineries, including remediation, operating costs and capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities.

In connection with the Paulsboro refinery acquisition, the Company assumed certain environmental remediation obligations. The environmental liability of $11,132 recorded as of June 30, 2015 ($10,476 as of December 31, 2014) represents the present value of expected future costs discounted at a rate of 8%. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in other long-term liabilities. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, this liability is self-guaranteed by the Company.

In connection with the acquisition of the Delaware City assets, Valero Energy Corporation ("Valero") remains responsible for certain pre-acquisition environmental obligations up to $20,000 and the predecessor to Valero in ownership of the refinery retains other historical obligations.

In connection with the acquisition of the Delaware City assets and the Paulsboro refinery, the Company and Valero purchased ten year, $75,000 environmental insurance policies to insure against unknown environmental liabilities at each site. In connection with the Toledo refinery acquisition, Sunoco, Inc. (R&M) ("Sunoco") remains responsible for environmental remediation for conditions that existed on the closing date for twenty years from March 1, 2011, subject to certain limitations.

In 2010, New York State adopted a Low-Sulfur Heating Oil mandate that, beginning July 1, 2012, requires all heating oil sold in New York State to contain no more than 15 parts per million ("PPM") sulfur. Since July 1, 2012, other states in the Northeast market began requiring heating oil sold in their state to contain no more than 15 PPM sulfur. Currently, six Northeastern states require heating oil with 15 PPM or less sulfur. By July 1, 2016, two more

PBF ENERGY INC.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

states are expected to adopt this requirement and by July 1, 2018 most of the remaining Northeastern states (except for Pennsylvania and New Hampshire) will require heating oil with 15 PPM or less sulfur. All of the heating oil the Company currently produces meets these specifications. The mandate and other requirements do not currently have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The EPA issued the final Tier 3 Gasoline standards on March 3, 2014 under the Clean Air Act. This final rule establishes more stringent vehicle emission standards and further reduces the sulfur content of gasoline starting in January of 2017. The new standard is set at 10 PPM sulfur in gasoline on an annual average basis starting January 1, 2017, with a credit trading program to provide compliance flexibility. The EPA responded to industry comments on the proposed rule and maintained the per gallon sulfur cap on gasoline at the existing 80 PPM cap. The standards set by the new rule are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The EPA was required to release the final annual standards for the Reformulated Fuels Standard ("RFS") for 2014 no later than Nov 29, 2013 and for 2015 no later than Nov 29, 2014. The EPA did not meet these requirements but did release proposed standards for 2014. The EPA did not finalize this proposal in 2014. However, in May 2015, the EPA re-proposed annual standards for RFS 2 for 2014, and proposed new standards for 2015 and 2016 and biomass-based diesel volumes for 2017. The EPA is proposing volume requirements in the annual standards which, while below the volumes originally set by Congress, would increase renewable fuel use in the U.S. above historical levels and provide for steady growth over time. The EPA is also proposing to increase the required volume of biomass-based diesel in 2015, 2016, and 2017 while maintaining the opportunity for growth in other advanced biofuels. The EPA has solicited comments on the proposed annual standards and held public hearings on June 25, 2015. Final action on this proposal is expected by November 30, 2015. If they are issued, the final standards may have a material impact on the Company's cost of compliance with RFS 2.

On September 12, 2012, the EPA issued final amendments to the New Source Performance Standards ("NSPS") for petroleum refineries, including standards for emissions of nitrogen oxides from process heaters and work practice standards and monitoring requirements for flares. The Company has evaluated the impact of the regulation and amended standards on its refinery operations and currently does not expect the cost to comply to be material.

In addition, the EPA published a Final Rule to the Clean Water Act ("CWA") Section 316(b) in August 2014 regarding cooling water intake structures which includes requirements for petroleum refineries. The purpose of this rule is to prevent fish from being trapped against cooling water intake screens (impingement) and to prevent fish from being drawn through cooling water systems (entrainment). Facilities will be required to implement Best Technology Available (BTA) as soon as possible, but state agencies have the discretion to establish implementation time lines. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of this regulation, and at this time does not anticipate it having a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Delaware City Rail Terminal and DCR West Rack are collocated with the Delaware City refinery, and are located in Delaware's coastal zone where certain activities are regulated under the Delaware Coastal Zone act. On June 14, 2013, two administrative appeals were filed by the Sierra Club and Delaware Audubon (collectively the "Appellants") regarding an air permit Delaware City Refining obtained to allow loading of crude oil onto barges. The appeals allege that both the loading of crude oil onto barges and the operation of the Delaware City Rail Terminal violate Delaware’s Coastal Zone Act. The first appeal is Number 2013-1 before the State Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board (the “CZ Board”), and the second appeal is before the Environmental Appeals Board (the "EAB") and appeals Secretary’s Order No. 2013-A-0020. The CZ Board held a hearing on the first appeal on July 16, 2013, and ruled in favor of Delaware City Refining and the State of Delaware and dismissed the Appellants’ appeal for lack of standing. The Appellants appealed that decision to the Delaware Superior Court, New Castle County, Case No. N13A-09-001 ALR, and Delaware City Refining and the State of Delaware filed cross-appeals. A hearing on the second appeal before the EAB, case no. 2013-06, was held on January 13, 2014, and the EAB ruled in favor of Delaware City Refining and the State and dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The Appellants also filed a Notice of Appeal with the Superior Court appealing the EAB’s decision. On March 31, 2015 the Superior Court affirmed the decisions by both the CZ Board and the EAB stating they both lacked jurisdiction to rule on the Appellants' appeal. The Appellants have appealed to the Delaware Supreme Court and

briefing on the case is scheduled to continue into the third quarter of 2015. If the Appellants in one or both of these matters ultimately prevail, the outcome may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company is also currently subject to certain other existing environmental claims and proceedings. The Company believes that there is only a remote possibility that future costs related to any of these other known contingent liability exposures would have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

PBF LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement

The holders of limited liability company interests in PBF LLC, including PBF Energy, generally have to include for purposes of calculating their U.S. federal, state and local income taxes their share of any taxable income of PBF LLC, regardless of whether such holders receive cash distributions from PBF LLC. PBF Energy ultimately may not receive cash distributions from PBF LLC equal to its share of such taxable income or even equal to the actual tax due with respect to that income. For example, PBF LLC is required to include in taxable income PBF LLC’s allocable share of PBFX’s taxable income and gains (such share to be determined pursuant to the partnership agreement of PBFX), regardless of the amount of cash distributions received by PBF LLC from PBFX, and such taxable income and gains will flow-through to PBF Energy to the extent of its allocable share of the taxable income of PBF LLC. As a result, at certain times, the amount of cash otherwise ultimately available to PBF Energy on account of its indirect interest in PBFX may not be sufficient for PBF Energy to pay the amount of taxes it will owe on account of its indirect interests in PBFX.

Taxable income of PBF LLC generally is allocated to the holders of PBF LLC units (including PBF Energy) pro-rata in accordance with their respective share of the net profits and net losses of PBF LLC. In general, PBF LLC is required to make periodic tax distributions to the members of PBF LLC, including PBF Energy, pro-rata in accordance with their respective percentage interests for such period (as determined under the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC), subject to available cash and applicable law and contractual restrictions (including pursuant to our debt instruments) and based on certain assumptions. Generally, these tax distributions are required to be in an amount equal to our estimate of the taxable income of PBF LLC for the year multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in New York, New York (taking into account the nondeductibility of certain expenses). If, with respect to any given calendar year, the aggregate periodic tax distributions were less than the actual taxable income of PBF LLC multiplied by the assumed tax rate, PBF LLC is required to make a “true up” tax distribution, no later than March 15 of the following year, equal to such difference, subject to the available cash and borrowings of PBF LLC. PBF LLC obtains funding to pay its tax distributions by causing PBF Holding to distribute cash to PBF LLC and from distributions it receives from PBFX.

Tax Receivable Agreement

PBF Energy entered into a tax receivable agreement with the PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B Unit holders (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by PBF Energy to such persons of an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that PBF Energy is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis, as described below, and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the benefits deemed realized by PBF Energy will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of PBF Energy (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that PBF Energy would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC as a result of purchases or exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy's Class A common stock and had PBF Energy not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless: (i) PBF Energy exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) PBF Energy breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or (iii) certain changes of control occur, in which case all

PBF ENERGY INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally be accelerated and due as calculated under certain assumptions.

The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are obligations of PBF Energy and not of PBF LLC, PBF Holding or PBFX. In general, PBF Energy expects to obtain funding for these annual payments from PBF LLC, primarily through tax distributions, which PBF LLC makes on a pro-rata basis to its owners. Such owners include PBF Energy, which holds a 94.3% interest in PBF LLC as of June 30, 2015 (89.9% as of December 31, 2014). PBF LLC obtains funding to pay its tax distributions by causing PBF Holding to distribute cash to PBF LLC and from distributions it receives from PBFX.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company has recognized a liability for the tax receivable agreement of $737,374 ($712,727 as of December 31, 2014) reflecting the estimate of the undiscounted amounts that the Company expects to pay under the agreement.

11. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

With respect to dividends and distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2015, PBF LLC made aggregate non-tax quarterly distributions of $0.60 per unit to its members, of which $51,545 was distributed prorata to PBF Energy and the balance was distributed to its other members. PBF Energy used this $51,545 to pay quarterly cash dividends of $0.30 per share of Class A common stock on March 10, 2015 and May 27, 2015. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, PBF LLC made aggregate tax distributions to its members of $91,893, of which $86,778 were made to PBF Energy.

With respect to distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2015, PBFX paid a distribution on outstanding common and subordinated units of $0.33 per unit on March 4, 2015 and $0.35 per unit on May 29, 2015, for a total distribution of $22,911, of which $11,878 was distributed to PBF LLC and the balance was distributed to its public unit holders.

12. TREASURY STOCK

On August 19, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200,000 of the Company's Class A common stock (the "Repurchase Program"). On October 29, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors approved an additional $100,000 increase to the existing Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has purchased approximately 5.91 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock through open market transactions under the Repurchase Program, for a total of $146,731. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased 124,589 and 142,284 shares, respectively, for $3,593 and $4,000, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company's Class A common stock repurchase activity under the Repurchase Program:



	Number of shares purchased ⁽¹⁾	Cost of purchased shares
Shares purchased as of December 31, 2014	5,765,946	$	142,731
Shares purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2015	142,284	4,000
Shares purchased as of June 30, 2015	5,908,230	$	146,731
__________
(1) - The shares purchased include only those shares that have settled as of the period end date.

These repurchases may be made from time to time through various methods, including open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 plans. The timing and number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, capital availability, legal requirements and economic and market conditions.

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The tables below present information about the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the inputs utilized to determine the fair values as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

We have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented on a gross basis in the tables below. We have posted cash margin with various counterparties to support hedging and trading activities. The cash margin posted is required by counterparties as collateral deposits and cannot be offset against the fair value of open contracts except in the event of default. We have no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross on the balance sheet.

The valuation methods used to measure financial instruments at fair value are as follows:


•	Money market funds categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices and included within cash and cash equivalents.


•	Marketable securities, consisting primarily of US Treasury securities, categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices.


•	Non-qualified pension plan assets categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based on published net asset values of mutual funds and included within Deferred charges and other assets, net.


•	The commodity contracts categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in an active market. The commodity contracts categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon future commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.

•

The commodity contracts categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy consist of commodity price swap contracts that relate to forecasted purchases of crude oil for which quoted forward market prices are not readily available due to market illiquidity. The forward prices used to value these swaps were derived using broker quotes, prices from other third party sources and other available market based data.


•	The derivatives included with inventory supply arrangement obligations, derivatives included with inventory intermediation agreement obligations and the catalyst lease obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.

The table below summarizes the changes in fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:

(a) The estimated fair value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, was calculated based on the present value of future expected payments utilizing implied current market interest rates based on quoted prices of the Senior Secured Notes and the PBFX Senior Notes.

(b) The estimated fair value approximates carrying value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, as these borrowings bear interest based upon short-term floating market interest rates.

(c) Catalyst leases are valued using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets and are categorized as a Level 2 measurement. The Company has elected the fair value option for accounting for its catalyst lease repurchase obligations as the Company's liability is directly impacted by the change in fair value of the underlying catalyst.

15. DERIVATIVES

The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures to commodity price risk. The Company’s crude supply agreement contains purchase obligations for certain volumes of crude oil and other feedstocks. In addition, the Company entered into Inventory Intermediation Agreements commencing in July 2013 that contain purchase obligations for certain volumes of intermediates and refined products. The purchase obligations related to crude oil, feedstocks, intermediates and refined products under these agreements are derivative instruments that have been designated as fair value hedges in order to hedge the commodity price volatility of certain refinery inventory. The fair value of these purchase obligation derivatives is based on market prices of the underlying crude oil and refined products. The level of activity for these derivatives is based on the level of operating inventories.

As of June 30, 2015, there were 549,182 barrels of crude oil and feedstocks (662,579 barrels at December 31, 2014) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges and no barrels (no barrels at December 31, 2014) outstanding under these derivative instruments not designated as hedges. As of June 30, 2015, there were 3,118,578 barrels of intermediates and refined products (3,106,325 barrels at December 31, 2014) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges and no barrels (no barrels at December 31, 2014) outstanding under these derivative instruments not designated as hedges. These volumes represent the notional value of the contract.

The Company also enters into economic hedges primarily consisting of commodity derivative contracts that are not designated as hedges and are used to manage price volatility in certain crude oil and feedstock inventories as

PBF ENERGY INC.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

well as crude oil, feedstock, and refined product sales or purchases. The objective in entering into economic hedges is consistent with the objectives discussed above for fair value hedges. As of June 30, 2015, there were 39,100,000 barrels of crude oil and 2,464,000 barrels of refined products (47,339,000 and 1,970,871, respectively, as of December 31, 2014), outstanding under short and long term commodity derivative contracts not designated as hedges representing the notional value of the contracts.

The following tables provide information about the fair values of these derivative instruments as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the line items in the consolidated balance sheet in which the fair values are reflected.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's operations are organized into two reportable segments, Refining and Logistics. Operations that are not included in the Refining and Logistics segments are included in Corporate. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements and are included in Eliminations.

Refining

The Company 's Refining Segment includes the operations of its three refineries which are located in Toledo, Ohio, Delaware City, Delaware and Paulsboro, New Jersey. The refineries produce unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants and other petroleum products in the United States. The Company purchases crude oil, other feedstocks and blending components from various third-party suppliers. The Company sells products throughout the Northeast and Midwest of the United States, as well as in other regions of the United States and Canada, and is able to ship products to other international destinations. The refineries have a combined processing capacity, known as throughput, of approximately 540,000 barrels per day ("bpd"), and a weighted-average Nelson Complexity Index of 11.3.

Logistics

The Company formed PBFX, a publicly traded master limited partnership, to own or lease, operate, develop and acquire crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX's assets consist of (i) a rail terminal which has a double loop track and ancillary pumping and unloading equipment located at the Delaware City refinery with an unloading capacity of approximately 130,000 bpd; (ii) a truck terminal comprised of six lease automatic custody transfer units accepting crude oil deliveries by truck located at the Toledo refinery designed for total throughput capacity of up to approximately 22,500 bpd; (iii) a heavy crude rail unloading rack located at the Delaware City refinery with an unloading capacity of at least 40,000 bpd; (iv) a tank farm with aggregate storage capacity of approximately 3.9 million barrels, including a propane storage and loading facility with throughput capacity of 11,000 bpd at the Toledo Refinery; (v) a 23.4 mile 16-inch interstate petroleum products pipeline with capacity in excess of 125,000 bpd at the Delaware City refinery and; (vi) a 15-lane, 76,000 bpd capacity truck loading rack utilized to distribute gasoline, distillates and liquefied petroleum gas at the Delaware City refinery. PBFX provides various rail and truck terminaling services, pipeline transportation services and storage services to PBF Holding and/or its subsidiaries through long-term commercial agreements. PBFX currently does not generate third party revenue and as such intersegment related revenues are eliminated in consolidation. Prior to the PBFX Offering, PBFX's assets were operated within the refining operations of the Company's Delaware City and Toledo refineries. The assets did not generate third party revenue and were not considered to be a separate reportable segment.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on income from operations. Income from operations includes those revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to management of the respective segment. The Logistics segment's revenues include inter-segment transactions with the Company's Refining segment at prices the Company believes are substantially equivalent to the prices that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. Activities of the Company's business that are not included in the two operating segments are included in Corporate. Such activities consist primarily of corporate staff operations and other items that are not specific to the normal operations of the two operating segments. The Company does not allocate certain items of other income and expense, including income taxes, to the individual segments. The Refinery segment's operating subsidiaries and PBFX are primarily pass-through entities with respect to income taxes.

Disclosures regarding our reportable segments with reconciliations to consolidated totals for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 are presented below. The Logistics segment's results include financial information of the predecessor of PBFX for periods prior to May 13, 2014, and the financial information of PBFX for the period beginning May 14, 2014, the completion date of the PBFX Offering. In connection with the contribution by PBF LLC of the DCR West Rack, the Toledo Storage Facility and the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack, the accompanying segment information has been retrospectively adjusted to include the

__________

(1)

The diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 assumes the conversion of all outstanding PBF LLC Series A Units to Class A common stock of PBF Energy. The net income attributable to PBF Energy, used in the numerator of the diluted earnings per share calculation is adjusted to reflect the net income, as well as the corresponding income tax (based on a 40.2% statutory tax rate) attributable to the converted units. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the potential conversion of 24,444,643 and 33,525,376 PBF LLC Series A Units, respectively, into PBF Energy Class A common stock were excluded from the denominator in computing diluted net income per share because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect. As the potential conversion of the PBF LLC Series A Units were not included, the numerator used in the calculation of diluted net income per share was equal to the numerator used in the calculation of basic net income per share and does not include the net income and income tax attributable to the net income associated with the potential conversion of the PBF LLC Series A Units.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of PBF Energy Inc. included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the unaudited financial statements and related notes included in this report. The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events may, and often do, vary from actual results and the differences can be material. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to PBF Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries, including PBF LLC, PBF Holding and its subsidiaries and PBFX and its subsidiaries.

Overview

We are one of the largest independent petroleum refiners and suppliers of unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants and other petroleum products in the United States. We sell our products throughout the Northeast and Midwest of the United States, as well as in other regions of the United States and Canada, and are able to ship products to other international destinations. We were formed in 2008 to pursue acquisitions of crude oil refineries and downstream assets in North America. We currently own and operate three domestic oil refineries and related assets, which we acquired in 2010 and 2011. Our refineries have a combined processing capacity, known as throughput, of approximately 540,000 barrels per day ("bpd"), and a weighted-average Nelson Complexity Index of 11.3.

Our three refineries are located in Toledo, Ohio, Delaware City, Delaware and Paulsboro, New Jersey. Our Mid-Continent refinery at Toledo processes light, sweet crude, has a throughput capacity of 170,000 bpd and a Nelson Complexity Index of 9.2. The majority of Toledo’s WTI-based crude is delivered via pipelines that originate in both Canada and the United States. Since our acquisition of Toledo in 2011, we have added additional truck and rail crude unloading capabilities that provide feedstock sourcing flexibility for the refinery and enables Toledo to run a more cost-advantaged crude slate. Our East Coast refineries at Delaware City and Paulsboro have a combined refining capacity of 370,000 bpd and Nelson Complexity Indices of 11.3 and 13.2, respectively. These high-conversion refineries process primarily medium and heavy, sour crudes and have historically received the bulk of their feedstock via ships and barges on the Delaware River.

Since our acquisition of the Delaware City refinery, we expanded and upgraded the existing on-site railroad infrastructure, including the expansion of the crude rail unloading facilities. Currently, crude delivered by rail to this facility is consumed at our Delaware City refinery. We also transport some of the crude delivered by rail from Delaware City via barge to our Paulsboro refinery or other third party destinations. In 2014 we completed a project to expand the Delaware City heavy crude rail unloading terminal capability at the refinery from 40,000 bpd to 80,000 bpd and added additional unloading spots to the dual-loop track light crude rail unloading facility, which has increased its unloading capability from 105,000 bpd to 130,000 bpd. These projects bring total rail crude unloading capability up to 210,000 bpd, subject to the delivery of coiled and insulated railcars, the development of crude rail loading infrastructure in Canada and the use of unit trains. The Delaware City rail unloading facilities, including the facilities now owned by PBFX, allows our East Coast refineries to source West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") price-based crude oils from Western Canada and the Mid-Continent, which we believe at times may provide cost advantages versus traditional Brent based international crudes.

As of June 30, 2015, we owned 85,922,092 PBF LLC Series C Units and our executive officers and directors and certain employees and others held 5,147,838 PBF LLC Series A Units (we refer to all of the holders of the PBF LLC Series A Units as “the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy”). As a result, the holders of our issued and outstanding shares of our Class A common stock have approximately 94.3% of the voting power in us, and the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy through their holdings of Class B common stock have approximately 5.7% of the voting power in us.

Business Developments

On May 29, 2015, PBF Holding entered into amended and restated inventory intermediation agreements (the "A&R Intermediation Agreements") with J. Aron & Company ("J. Aron") pursuant to which certain terms of the existing inventory intermediation agreements were amended, including, among other things, pricing and an extension of the term for a period of two years from the original expiry date of July 1, 2015, subject to certain early termination rights. In addition, the A&R Intermediation Agreements include one-year renewal clauses by mutual consent of both parties.

Pursuant to each A&R Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron will continue to purchase and hold title to certain of the intermediate and finished products (the "Products") produced by the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries (the "Refineries"), respectively, and delivered into tanks at the Refineries. Furthermore, J. Aron agrees to sell the Products back to PRC and DCR as the Products are discharged out of the Refineries' tanks. J. Aron has the right to store the Products purchased in tanks under the A&R Intermediation Agreements and will retain these storage rights for the term of the agreements. PBF Holding will continue to market and sell the Products independently to third parties.

On June 17, 2015, PBF Holding entered into a definitive Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”) with ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, Mobil Pipe Line Company and PDV Chalmette, L.L.C. (collectively, the "Sellers"), to purchase the ownership interests of Chalmette Refining, L.L.C. (“Chalmette Refining”), which owns the Chalmette refinery and related logistics assets (collectively, the "Chalmette Acquisition"). The Chalmette refinery, located outside of New Orleans, Louisiana, is a 189,000 barrel per day, dual-train coking refinery with a Nelson Complexity of 12.7 and is capable of processing both light and heavy crude oil. Upon completion of the Chalmette Acquisition, we will increase our total throughput capacity to over 725,000 barrels per day.

Chalmette Refining owns 100% of the MOEM Pipeline, providing access to the Empire Terminal, as well as the CAM Connection Pipeline, providing access to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port facility through a third party pipeline. Chalmette Refining also owns 80% of each of the Collins Pipeline Company and T&M Terminal Company, both located in Collins, Mississippi, which provide a clean products outlet for the refinery to the Plantation and Colonial Pipelines. Also included in the acquisition are a marine terminal capable of importing waterborne feedstocks and loading or unloading finished products; a clean products truck rack which provides access to local markets; and a crude and product storage facility with approximately 7.5 million barrels of shell capacity.

The aggregate purchase price for the Chalmette Acquisition is $322.0 million in cash, plus inventory and working capital to be determined at closing. The purchase price is also subject to other customary purchase price adjustments. The Chalmette Acquisition is expected to close prior to year-end 2015, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the absence of legal impediments prohibiting the Chalmette Acquisition, receipt of regulatory approvals and required consents and absence of a material adverse effect. We expect to finance the transaction through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility, as well as potentially utilizing inventory intermediation arrangements with third parties. We do not expect to issue equity to finance any portion of this transaction. Our obligation to consummate the Chalmette Acquisition is not conditioned upon the receipt of financing. In addition, PBF Energy has guaranteed all payment and performance obligations of PBF Holding that relate to or arise out of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

Factors Affecting Comparability Between Periods

Our results have been affected by the following events, which must be understood in order to assess the comparability of our period to period financial performance and financial condition.

Initial Public Offering of PBFX

On May 14, 2014, PBFX completed its initial public offering (the “PBFX Offering”) of 15,812,500 common units, including 2,062,500 common units issued upon exercise of the over-allotment option that was granted to the underwriters, at a price to the public of $23.00 per unit. On September 30, 2014, PBF LLC completed a transaction

to contribute to PBFX the Delaware City heavy crude unloading rack ("DCR West Rack") for total consideration of $150.0 million, consisting of $135.0 million of cash and $15.0 million of PBFX common units, or 589,536 common units (the "DCR West Rack Acquisition"). On December 11, 2014, PBF LLC completed a transaction to contribute to PBFX the tank farm and related facilities located at our Toledo refinery, including a propane storage and loading facility (the "Toledo Storage Facility") for total consideration of $150.0 million, consisting of $135.0 million of cash and $15.0 million of PBFX common units, or 620,935 common units (the "Toledo Storage Facility Acquisition"). On May 14, 2015 PBF LLC contributed to PBFX all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Delaware Pipeline Company LLC ("DPC") and Delaware City Logistics Company LLC ("DCLC"), whose assets consist of a products pipeline, truck rack and related facilities located at our Delaware City refinery (collectively the "Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack"), for total consideration of $143.0 million, consisting of $112.5 million of cash and $30.5 million of PBFX common units, or 1,288,420 common units.

As of June 30, 2015, PBF LLC holds a 53.8% limited partner interest in PBFX (consisting of 2,572,944 common units and 15,886,553 subordinated units), with the remaining 46.2% limited partner interest held by the public unit holders. PBF LLC also owns all of the incentive distribution rights and indirectly owns a non-economic general partner interest in PBFX through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Logistics GP LLC (“PBF GP”), the general partner of PBFX. During the subordination period (as set forth in the partnership agreement of PBFX) holders of the subordinated units are not entitled to receive any distribution of available cash until the common units have received the minimum quarterly distribution plus any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution from prior quarters. If PBFX does not pay distributions on the subordinated units, the subordinated units will not accrue arrearages for those unpaid distributions. Each subordinated unit will convert into one common unit at the end of the subordination period.

PBFX is a fee-based, growth-oriented, Delaware master limited partnership formed by PBF Energy to own or lease, operate, develop and acquire crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX engages in the receiving, handling and transferring of crude oil and the receipt, storage and delivery of crude oil, refined products and intermediates from sources located throughout the United States and Canada for PBF Energy in support of its three refineries. PBFX’s assets consist of a light crude oil rail unloading terminal at the Delaware City refinery that also services the Paulsboro refinery (which we refer to as the “Delaware City Rail Terminal”), a crude oil truck unloading terminal at the Toledo refinery (which we refer to as the “Toledo Truck Terminal”), the DCR West Rack, the Toledo Storage Facility and the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack. All of PBFX’s revenue is derived from long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with subsidiaries of PBF Energy, which include minimum volume commitments, for receiving, handling, transferring and storing crude oil and refined products. These transactions are eliminated by PBF Energy in consolidation.

Secondary Offerings

On February 6, 2015, we completed a public offering of 3,804,653 shares of Class A common stock in a secondary offering (the "February 2015 secondary offering"). All of the shares in the February 2015 secondary offering were sold by funds affiliated with Blackstone Group L.P., or Blackstone, and First Reserve Management, L.P., or First Reserve. In connection with the February 2015 secondary offering, Blackstone and First Reserve exchanged all of their remaining PBF LLC Series A Units for an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock of PBF Energy, and as a result, Blackstone and First Reserve no longer hold any PBF LLC Series A Units or shares of our Class A Common stock. The holders of PBF LLC Series B Units, which include certain executive officers of PBF Energy and others, received a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the PBF Energy Class A common stock by Blackstone and First Reserve in accordance with the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC. PBF Energy did not receive any proceeds from the February 2015 secondary offering. As of June 30, 2015, we own 85,922,092 PBF LLC Series C Units and the Company's executive officers and directors and certain employees and others beneficially own 5,147,838 PBF LLC Series A Units. The holders of the our issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock have 94.3% of the voting power in us and the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy through their holdings of Class B common stock have the remaining 5.7% of

the voting power in us. In addition, in January, March and June of 2014, we also completed three separate secondary offerings for a total of 48,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. All such shares were sold by funds affiliated with Blackstone and First Reserve.

Rail Facility Revolving Credit Facility

Effective March 25, 2014, PBF Rail Logistics Company LLC (“PBF Rail”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding, entered into a $250.0 million secured revolving credit agreement (the “Rail Facility”). The primary purpose of the Rail Facility is to fund the acquisition by PBF Rail of coiled and insulated crude tank cars and non-coiled and non-insulated general purpose crude tank cars (the "Eligible Railcars") before December 2015. The amount available to be advanced under the Rail Facility equals 70% of the lesser of the aggregate Appraised Value of the Eligible Railcars, or the aggregate Purchase Price of such Eligible Railcars, as these terms are defined in the credit agreement.

On April 29, 2015, the Rail Facility was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity to April 29, 2017, reduce the total commitment from $250.0 million to $150.0 million, and reduce the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Rail Facility. At any time prior to maturity PBF Rail may repay and re-borrow any advances without premium or penalty. On the first anniversary of the closing of the amendment, the advance rate adjusts automatically to 65%.

PBFX Debt and Credit Facilities

On May 14, 2014, in connection with the closing of the PBFX Offering, PBFX entered into a five-year, $275.0 million revolving credit facility (the "PBFX Revolving Credit Facility") and a three-year, $300.0 million term loan (the "PBFX Term Loan"). The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $275.0 million to $325.0 million in December 2014. The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility is available to fund working capital, acquisitions, distributions and capital expenditures and for other general partnership purposes and is guaranteed by a guaranty of collection from PBF LLC. PBFX also has the ability to increase the maximum amount of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate amount of up to $275.0 million, to a total facility size of $600.0 million, subject to receiving increased commitments from lenders or other financial institutions and satisfaction of certain conditions. The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility includes a $25.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit and a $25.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. The PBFX Term Loan was used to fund distributions to PBF LLC and is guaranteed by a guaranty of collection from PBF LLC and secured at all times by cash, U.S. Treasury or other investment grade securities in an amount equal to or greater than the outstanding principal amount of the PBFX Term Loan.

On May 12, 2015, PBFX entered into an Indenture among the Partnership, PBF Logistics Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership ("PBF Logistics Finance," and together with the Partnership, the "Issuers"), the Guarantors named therein (certain subsidiaries of PBFX) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, under which the Issuers issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "PBFX Senior Notes"). PBF LLC has provided a limited guarantee of collection of the principal amount of the PBFX Senior Notes, but is not otherwise subject to the covenants of the Indenture. Of the $350.0 million aggregate PBFX Senior Notes, $19.9 million were purchased by certain of PBF Energy’s officers and directors and their affiliates pursuant to a separate private placement transaction. After deducting offering expenses, PBFX received net proceeds of approximately $343.0 million from the PBFX Senior Notes offering.

Crude Oil Acquisition Agreement Termination

Effective July 31, 2014, PBF Holding terminated the Amended and Restated Crude Oil Acquisition Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2012 as amended (the "Toledo Crude Oil Acquisition Agreement") with Morgan Stanley Capital Group, Inc. ("MSCG"). Under the terms of the Toledo Crude Oil Acquisition Agreement, we previously acquired substantially all of our crude oil for our subsidiary's Toledo refinery from MSCG through

delivery at various interstate pipeline locations. No early termination penalties were incurred by us as a result of the termination. We began sourcing our own crude oil needs for Toledo upon termination.

Results of Operations

The tables below reflect our consolidated financial and operating highlights for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (amounts in thousands, except per share data). We operate in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. Our three oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and are aggregated into the Refining segment. PBFX is a publicly traded master limited partnership that operates logistical assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines and storage facilities. PBFX's operations are aggregated into the Logistics segment. Prior to the PBFX Offering, DCR West Rack acquisition, Toledo Tank Farm acquisition and the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack acquisition, PBFX's assets were operated within the refining operations of our Delaware City and Toledo refineries and were not considered to be a separate reportable segment. We did not analyze our results by individual segment as our Logistics segment does not have any third party revenue and substantially all of its operating results eliminate in consolidation. Additionally, third party expenses attributable directly to the Logistics segment are immaterial relative to our consolidated operating results.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Overview— Net income was $158.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to net income of $45.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Net income attributable to PBF Energy was $135.8 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 ($1.57 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income, or $0.88 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) compared to net income attributable to PBF Energy of $21.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 ($0.35 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures). The net income or loss attributable to PBF Energy represents PBF Energy’s equity interest in PBF LLC’s pre-tax income, less applicable income tax expense. PBF Energy's weighted-average equity interest in PBF LLC was 94.4% and 74.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Our results for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were positively impacted by a non-cash special item consisting of a non-cash pre-tax inventory lower of cost or market ("LCM") adjustment of approximately $106.0 million on a net basis, which includes the reversal of the LCM charge recorded in the first quarter of 2015. The LCM adjustment is a result of the changing crude oil and refined product prices from the first quarter of 2015 to the end of the second quarter of 2015. During this period the prices have remained below historical costs. Excluding the impact of the net change in LCM reserve of $106.0 million, our results were positively impacted by higher crack spreads in the East Coast and Mid-Continent partially offset by unfavorable movements in crude oil differentials and the impact of the unplanned downtime at our Toledo refinery in June 2015 which reduced throughput and increased operating expenses.

Revenues— Revenues totaled $3.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $5.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately $1.8 billion, or 33.0%. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the total throughput rates in the East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 349,000 bpd and 142,100 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the total throughput rates at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 323,800 bpd and 146,600

bpd, respectively. The increase in throughput rates at our East Coast refineries in 2015 compared to 2014 is primarily due to unplanned down time at our Paulsboro refinery in January 2014 and a planned turnaround in March 2014. The decline in throughput rates at our Mid-Continent refinery in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily attributable to unplanned down time at our Toledo refinery in the second quarter of 2015. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the total barrels sold at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 372,300 bpd and 151,000 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the total barrels sold at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 348,800 bpd and 155,200 bpd, respectively. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside the refinery.

Gross Margin— Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $523.7 million, or $11.72 per barrel of throughput ($417.7 million or $9.35 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items), for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $358.5 million, or $8.38 per barrel of throughput during the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $165.2 million. Gross margin, including refinery operating expenses and depreciation, totaled $319.3 million, or $7.15 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $124.4 million, or $2.93 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $194.9 million. Excluding the impact of special items, gross margin and gross refining margin increased due to improved crack spreads in the East Coast and the Mid-Continent partially offset by unfavorable movements in crude differentials in both the East Coast and the Mid-Continent and lower throughput rates at our Toledo refinery. In addition, gross margin and gross refining margin were positively impacted by a non-cash LCM adjustment of approximately $106.0 million on a net basis resulting from the change in crude oil and refined product prices from the end of the first quarter of 2015 to the end of the second quarter of 2015, which remained below historical costs.

Average industry refining margins in the Mid-Continent were stronger during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was approximately $20.57 per barrel or 9.5% higher in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $18.78 per barrel in the same period in 2014. However, our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific crude slate in the Mid-Continent which was impacted by a declining WTI/Syncrude differential, which averaged a premium of $4.02 per barrel in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to a discount of $0.72 per barrel in the second quarter of 2014.

The Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $19.83 per barrel, or 44.7% higher in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $13.70 per barrel in the same period in 2014. The WTI/Dated Brent differential and Dated Brent/Maya differentials were $2.46 and $7.19 lower, respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. In addition, the WTI/Bakken differential was approximately $2.53 per barrel less favorable in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.

Operating Expenses— Operating expenses totaled $195.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $210.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $15.7 million, or 7.5%. Of the total $195.0 million of operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015, $192.2 million, or $4.30 per barrel of throughput, related to expenses incurred by the Refining segment, while the remaining $2.8 million related to expenses incurred by the Logistics segment. The decrease in operating expenses was mainly attributable to a decrease of $17.9 million in energy related costs primarily attributable to lower natural gas and electricity prices and reduced compensation and other overhead costs of $2.8 million. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $4.8 million in maintenance and repair expenses directly attributable to the unplanned downtime at our Toledo refinery. Our operating expenses principally consist of salaries and employee benefits, maintenance, energy and catalyst and chemicals costs at our refineries. The operating expenses related to the Logistics segment consists of costs related to the operation and maintenance of PBFX's assets subsequent to the PBFX Offering.

General and Administrative Expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $39.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $33.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $6.2 million or 18.8%. The increase in general and administrative expenses primarily relates to higher employee compensation costs and higher administrative expenses related to PBFX. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of the personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries.

Gain on Sale of Assets— Gain on sale of assets for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.6 million related to the sale of railcars which were subsequently leased back.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $48.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $34.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $13.9 million. The increase was primarily a result of capital projects related to turnarounds completed in 2014, the completed expansion of the crude rail unloading facility at the Delaware City refinery in 2014 and refinery optimization projects at Toledo.

Change in Fair Value of Catalyst Leases— Change in the fair value of catalyst leases represented a gain of $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to a loss of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. These gains and losses relate to the change in value of the precious metals underlying the sale and leaseback of our refineries’ precious metals catalyst, which we are obligated to repurchase at fair market value on the lease termination dates.

Interest Expense, net— Interest expense totaled $26.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $26.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $0.7 million. This increase is mainly attributable to the issuance of the PBFX Senior Notes, higher interest costs associated with the issuance of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and the PBFX Term Loan in connection with the PBFX Offering and the related amortization of deferred financing fees. This increase was offset by decreases in interest expense related to the termination of our crude and feedstock supply agreement with MSCG, effective July 31, 2014. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt including the PBFX credit facilities, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metals catalyst, interest expense incurred in connection with our crude and feedstock supply agreement with Statoil, financing costs associated with the Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils, and the amortization of deferred financing costs.

Income Tax Expense— PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is a master limited partnership, both of which are treated as "flow-through" entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income tax. However, the members of PBF LLC are required to include their proportionate share of PBF LLC’s taxable income or loss, which includes PBF LLC’s allocable share of PBFX’s pre-tax income or loss, on their respective tax returns. PBF LLC generally makes distributions to its members, per the terms of the PBF LLC amended and restated limited liability company agreement, related to such taxes on a pro-rata basis. PBF Energy recognizes an income tax expense or benefit in our consolidated financial statements based on PBF Energy's allocable share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income or loss, which was approximately 94.4% and 74.8%, on a weighted-average basis for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. PBF Energy's condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests in PBF LLC or PBFX (although, as described above, PBF LLC must make tax distributions to all its members on a pro-rata basis). PBF Energy's effective tax rate, excluding the impact of noncontrolling interest, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 40.0% and 39.2%, respectively, reflecting tax benefit adjustments for discrete items related to changes in income tax provision estimates based on our income tax returns and changes in our effective state tax rates.

Noncontrolling Interest— As a result of our initial public offering ("IPO") and the related reorganization transactions, PBF Energy became the sole managing member of, and has a controlling interest in, PBF LLC. As the sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the business and affairs of PBF

LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries, including PBFX. With respect to the consolidation of PBF LLC, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF LLC held by members other than PBF Energy, and with respect to the consolidation of PBFX, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interests in PBFX held by the public unit holders of PBFX. The total noncontrolling interest on the consolidated statement of operations represents the portion of the Company’s earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests held by members of PBF Energy other than PBF Energy and by the public common unit holders of PBFX. The total noncontrolling interest on the balance sheet represents the portion of the Company’s net assets attributable to the economic interests held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy and by the public common unit holders of PBFX. PBF Energy's weighted-average equity noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in PBF LLC for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately 5.6% and 25.2%, respectively. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest on our consolidated balance sheet attributable to the noncontrolling interest is not equal to the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage due to the effect of income taxes and related agreements that pertain solely to PBF Energy.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Overview— Net income was $261.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to net income of $229.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Net income attributable to PBF Energy was $223.1 million, or $2.57 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 ($2.57 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income, or $1.74 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) compared to net income attributable to PBF Energy of $98.4 million, or $1.54 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($1.80 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures). The net income or loss attributable to PBF Energy represents PBF Energy’s equity interest in PBF LLC’s pre-tax income, less applicable income tax expense. PBF Energy's weighted-average equity interest in PBF LLC was 93.4% and 65.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were positively impacted by a non-cash special item consisting of a non-cash pre-tax inventory lower of cost or market ("LCM") adjustment of approximately $127.2 million on a net basis, which includes the reversal of the LCM charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014. The LCM adjustment is a result of the changing crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended 2014 to the end of the second quarter of 2015. During this period the prices have remained below historical costs. Excluding the impact of the net change in LCM reserve of $127.2 million, our results were negatively impacted by unfavorable movements in certain crude oil differentials and the impact of the unplanned downtime at our Toledo refinery in June 2015 which reduced throughput and increased operating expenses, partially offset by higher crack spreads on the East Coast and Mid-Continent.

Revenues— Revenues totaled $6.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $10.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately $3.5 billion, or 34.9%. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the total throughput rates in the East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 337,400 bpd and 142,080 bpd, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the total throughput rates at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 308,400 bpd and 142,400 bpd, respectively. The increase in throughput rates at our East Coast refineries in 2015 compared to 2014 is primarily due to unplanned down time at our Paulsboro refinery in January 2014 and a planned turnaround in March 2014. The slight decline in throughput rates at our Mid-Continent refinery is due to unplanned down time at our Toledo refinery in the second quarter of 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the total barrels sold at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 367,500 bpd and 154,500 bpd, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the total barrels sold at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 329,500 bpd and 151,800 bpd, respectively. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside the refinery.

Gross Margin— Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $989.8 million, or $11.40 per barrel of throughput ($862.6 million or $9.93 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items), for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $957.2 million, or $11.73 per barrel of throughput during the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $32.6 million. Gross margin, including refinery operating expenses and depreciation, totaled $535.6 million, or $6.17 per barrel of throughput, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $424.5 million, or $5.21 per barrel of throughput, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $111.1 million. Excluding the impact of special items, gross margin and gross refining margin decreased due to unfavorable movements in crude differentials and lower throughput rates at our Toledo refinery partially offset by improved crack spreads in the East Coast and the Mid-Continent. In addition, gross margin and gross refining margin were positively impacted by a non-cash LCM adjustment of approximately $127.2 million on a net basis resulting from the change in crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended 2014 to the end of the second quarter of 2015, which remained below historical costs.

Average industry refining margins in the Mid-Continent were stronger during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was approximately $18.05 per barrel or 1.4% higher in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $17.80 per barrel in the same period in 2014. Alternatively, our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific crude slate in the Mid-Continent which was impacted by a declining WTI/Syncrude differential, which averaged a premium of $2.27 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to a discount of $0.89 per barrel in the same period of 2014.

The Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $17.83 per barrel, or 41.5% higher in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $12.60 per barrel in the same period in 2014. The WTI/Dated Brent differential and Dated Brent/Maya differential were $3.05 and $7.95 lower, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. In addition, the WTI/Bakken differential was approximately $0.62 per barrel less favorable in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.

Operating Expenses— Operating expenses totaled $432.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $479.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $47.5 million, or 9.9%. Of the total $432.1 million of operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015, $425.5 million, or $4.90 per barrel of throughput, related to expenses incurred by the Refining segment, while the remaining $6.6 million related to expenses incurred by the Logistics segment. The decrease in operating expenses was mainly attributable to a decrease of $51.8 million in energy related costs primarily attributable to lower natural gas and electricity prices and reduced other overhead costs of $3.9 million. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $4.8 million in maintenance and repair expenses directly attributable to the unplanned downtime at our Toledo refinery and $3.7 million in chemical and catalyst related expenses. Our operating expenses principally consist of salaries and employee benefits, maintenance, energy and catalyst and chemicals costs at our refineries. The operating expenses related to the Logistics segment consists of costs related to the operation and maintenance of PBFX's assets subsequent to the PBFX Offering.

General and Administrative Expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $75.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $69.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of approximately $5.6 million or 8.1%. The increase in general and administrative expenses primarily relates to expenses incurred associated with PBFX, partially offset by lower employee compensation costs. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of the personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries.

Gain on Sale of Assets— Gain on sale of assets for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $1.0 million as compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to the sale of railcars which were subsequently leased back.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $96.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $67.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $28.4 million. The increase was primarily a result of capital projects related to turnarounds completed in 2014, the completed expansion of the crude rail unloading facility at the Delaware City refinery in 2014 and refinery optimization projects at Toledo.

Change in Fair Value of Catalyst Leases— Change in the fair value of catalyst leases represented a gain of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to a loss of $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. These gains and losses relate to the change in value of the precious metals underlying the sale and leaseback of our refineries’ precious metals catalyst, which we are obligated to repurchase at fair market value on the lease termination dates.

Interest Expense, net— Interest expense totaled $49.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $51.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately $2.5 million. This decrease is mainly attributable to the termination of our crude and feedstock supply agreement with MSCG, effective July 31, 2014, partially offset by higher interest costs associated with the issuance of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and the PBFX Term Loan in connection with the PBFX Offering and the related amortization of deferred financing fees and higher letter of credit fees as well as the issuance of the PBFX Senior Notes in May 2015. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt including the PBFX credit facilities, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metals catalyst, interest expense incurred in connection with our crude and feedstock supply agreement with Statoil, financing costs associated with the Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils, and the amortization of deferred financing costs.

Income Tax Expense— PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is a master limited partnership, both of which are treated as "flow-through" entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income tax. However, the members of PBF LLC are required to include their proportionate share of PBF LLC’s taxable income or loss, which includes PBF LLC’s allocable share of PBFX’s pre-tax income or loss, on their respective tax returns. PBF LLC generally makes distributions to its members, per the terms of the PBF LLC amended and restated limited liability company agreement, related to such taxes on a pro-rata basis. PBF Energy recognizes an income tax expense or benefit in our consolidated financial statements based on PBF Energy's allocable share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income or loss, which was approximately 93.4% and 65.2%, on a weighted-average basis for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. PBF Energy's condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests in PBF LLC or PBFX (although, as described above, PBF LLC must make tax distributions to all its members on a pro-rata basis). PBF Energy's effective tax rate, excluding the impact of noncontrolling interest, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 38.5% and 39.2%, respectively, reflecting tax benefit adjustments for discrete items related to changes in income tax provision estimates based on our income tax returns and changes in our effective state tax rates.

Noncontrolling Interest— As a result of our IPO and the related reorganization transactions, PBF Energy became the sole managing member of, and has a controlling interest in, PBF LLC. As the sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the business and affairs of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries, including PBFX. With respect to the consolidation of PBF LLC, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF LLC held by members other than PBF Energy, and with respect to the consolidation of PBFX, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interests in PBFX held by the public unit holders of PBFX. The total noncontrolling interest on the consolidated statement of operations represents the portion of the Company’s earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests held by members of PBF Energy other than PBF Energy and by the public common unit holders of PBFX. The total noncontrolling interest on the balance sheet represents the portion of the Company’s net assets attributable to the economic interests held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy and by the public common unit holders of PBFX. PBF Energy's weighted-average equity

noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in PBF LLC for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately 6.6% and 34.8%, respectively. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest on our consolidated balance sheet attributable to the noncontrolling interest is not equal to the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage due to the effect of income taxes and related agreements that pertain solely to PBF Energy.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

Special Items

The non-GAAP measures presented include Adjusted Fully-Converted net income excluding special items, income from continuing operations excluding special items, EBITDA excluding special items, and gross refining margin excluding special items. The special items for the periods presented relate to a LCM adjustment. LCM is a GAAP guideline related to inventory valuation that requires inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or market. Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation methodology, in which the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost of sales and inventories are valued at base layer acquisition costs. Market is determined based on an assessment of the current estimated replacement cost and net realizable selling price of the inventory. In periods where the market price of our inventory declines substantially, cost values of inventory may exceed market values. In such instances, we record an adjustment to write down the value of inventory to market value in accordance with GAAP. In subsequent periods, the value of inventory is reassessed and a LCM adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between the prior period and the current period. Although we believe that non-GAAP financial measures excluding the impact of special items provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the results and performance of our business and allow for more useful period-over-period comparisons, such non-GAAP measures should only be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss)

PBF Energy utilizes results presented on an Adjusted Fully-Converted basis that reflects an assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of Class A common stock of PBF Energy. We believe that these Adjusted Fully-Converted measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare PBF Energy results across different periods and to facilitate an understanding of our operating results. The differences between Adjusted Fully-Converted and U.S. GAAP results are as follows:


1.	Assumed Exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. As a result of the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units, the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. Management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units.

Income Taxes. Prior to PBF Energy's IPO we were organized as a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, and even after PBF Energy's IPO, not all of our earnings are subject to corporate-level income taxes. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Fully-Converted tax provisions and earnings to assume that we had adopted our post-IPO corporate tax structure for all periods presented and are taxed as a C corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates. These assumptions are consistent with the assumption in clause 1 above that all PBF LLC Series A Units are exchanged for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock, as the assumed exchange would change the amount of our earnings that is subject to corporate income tax.

The following table reconciles our Adjusted Fully-Converted results with our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

(1)		Represents the elimination of the noncontrolling interest associated with the ownership by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy as if such members had fully exchanged their PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy's Class A common stock.
(2)		Represents an adjustment to apply PBF Energy's statutory tax rate of approximately 40.2% for the 2015 periods and 40.2% for the 2014 periods to the noncontrolling interest. The adjustment assumes the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in (1) above.
(3)		Represents weighted-average diluted shares outstanding assuming the full exchange of common stock equivalents, including options and warrants for PBF LLC Series A Units and options for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock as calculated under the treasury stock method for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. Common stock equivalents excludes the effects of options to purchase 2,874,500 and 2,874,500 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock because they are anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Common stock equivalents , excludes the effects of options to purchase 1,867,500 and 1,952,500 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock because they are anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
(4)		Represents an adjustment to weighted-average diluted shares to assume the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in (1) above if not included in the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding calculated in (3) above.
(5)		During the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which resulted in a net pre-tax impact of $106.0 million reflecting the change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $668.9 million at March 31, 2015 to $562.9 million at June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which resulted in a net pre-tax impact of $127.2 million reflecting the change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $690.1 million at December 31, 2014 to $562.9 million at June 30, 2015. The net impact of these LCM inventory adjustments are included in the Refining segment's operating income, but are excluded from the operating results presented in the table in order to make such information comparable between periods. Income taxes related to the net LCM adjustment were recalculated using the Company's statutory corporate tax rate of approximately 40.2% for the periods presented.

Gross Refining Margin

Gross refining margin is defined as gross margin excluding refinery depreciation, refinery operating expenses, and gross margin of PBFX. We believe gross refining margin is an important measure of operating performance and provides useful information to investors because it is a better metric comparison for the industry refining margin benchmarks, as the refining margin benchmarks do not include a charge for refinery operating expenses and depreciation. In order to assess our operating performance, we compare our gross refining margin (revenue less cost of sales) to industry refining margin benchmarks and crude oil prices as defined in the table below.

Gross refining margin should not be considered an alternative to gross margin, operating income, net cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Gross refining margin presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define this term differently. The following table presents a reconciliation of gross refining margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, gross margin, on a historical basis, as applicable, for each of the periods indicated:

(1) During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded an adjustment to value its inventories to the lower of cost or market which resulted in a net pre-tax impact of $127.2 million reflecting the change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $690.1 million million at December 31, 2014 to $562.9 million at June 30, 2015. The net impact of these LCM inventory adjustments are included in the Refining segment's operating income, but are excluded from the operating results presented in the table in order to make such information comparable between periods.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Our management uses EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to readily view operating trends, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations, and in communications with our board of directors, creditors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance. Our outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money and other contractual obligations also include similar measures as a basis for certain covenants under those agreements which may differ from the Adjusted EBITDA definition described below.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in our industry. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA contains some, but not all, adjustments that are taken into account in the calculation of the components of various covenants in the agreements governing the Senior Secured Notes and other credit facilities. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to operating income or net income as measures of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presented as, and should not be considered, an alternative to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before equity-based compensation expense, gains (losses) from certain derivative activities and contingent consideration and the non-cash change in the deferral of gross profit related to the sale of certain finished products. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA also has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include that Adjusted EBITDA:


•	does not reflect depreciation expense or our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;


•	does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;


•	does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;


•	does not reflect realized and unrealized gains and losses from hedging activities, which may have a substantial impact on our cash flow;


•	does not reflect certain other non-cash income and expenses; and


•	excludes income taxes that may represent a reduction in available cash.

The following tables reconcile net income as reflected in our results of operations to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations and borrowing availability under our credit facilities, as more fully described below. We believe that our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our and our subsidiaries' capital expenditure, working capital, dividend payments, debt service and share repurchase program requirements, as well as our obligations under the tax receivable agreement, for the next twelve months, and to fund the planned Chalmette Acquisition. However, our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations depends, in part, on petroleum market pricing and general economic, political and other factors beyond our control. We are in compliance with all of the covenants, including financial covenants, for all of our debt agreements.

Cash Flow Analysis

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $317.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $166.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Our operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included our net income of $261.6 million, plus net non-cash charges relating to the change in the fair value of our inventory repurchase obligations of $89.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $100.8 million, deferred income taxes of $74.0 million, pension and other post retirement benefits costs of $12.9 million, and equity-based compensation of $5.4 million, partially

offset by a net non-cash benefit of $127.2 million relating to a LCM inventory adjustment, change in the fair value of our catalyst lease of $4.0 million and gain on sale of assets of $1.0 million. In addition, net changes in working capital reflected uses of cash of $94.1 million driven by the timing of inventory purchases, payments for accrued expenses and collections of accounts receivables. Our operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included our net income of $229.1 million, plus net non-cash charges relating to depreciation and amortization of $71.4 million, change in deferred income taxes of $35.1 million, pension and other post retirement benefits costs of $10.5 million, change in the fair value of our catalyst lease obligations of $4.3 million and equity-based compensation of $2.9 million, partially offset by the change in the fair value of our inventory repurchase obligations of $8.0 million, and gain on sale of assets of $0.2 million. In addition, net changes in working capital reflected uses of cash of $179.0 million driven by the timing of inventory purchases and collections of accounts receivables.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $113.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $435.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The net cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was comprised of capital expenditures totaling $224.1 million, expenditures for refinery turnarounds of $22.9 million and expenditures for other assets of $5.4 million, partially offset by $138.1 million in proceeds from the sale of railcars and $0.7 million of net maturities of marketable securities. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was comprised of net purchases of marketable securities totaling $300.0 million as collateral for the PBFX Term Loan entered into in conjunction with the PBFX Offering, capital expenditures totaling $125.3 million, expenditures for turnarounds of $39.4 million and expenditures for other assets of $8.2 million, partially offset by $37.8 million in proceeds from the sale of railcars.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $509.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of the PBFX Senior Notes of $350.0 million and net proceeds from the Rail Facility of $6.1 million, partially offset by distributions and dividends of $70.8 million, $251.3 million of net repayments of PBFX revolver and term loan borrowings, purchases of our Class A common stock of $4.0 million and $8.1 million for deferred financing and other costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds received from the PBFX Offering of $341.0 million, borrowing under the PBFX Term Loan of $300.0 million, and borrowing of $8.2 million under the Rail Facility, offset by distributions and dividends of $114.0 million, $15.0 million of net repayments of revolver borrowings, PBFX Offering costs of $5.0 million, and $5.5 million for deferred financing and other costs.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2015, PBF Energy's total liquidity was approximately $1,175.6 million, compared to total liquidity of approximately $1,140.0 million as of December 31, 2014. Total liquidity is the sum of our cash and cash equivalents plus the amount of availability under the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement ("Revolving Loan"). As of June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, PBFX had approximately $298.5 and $49.9 million, respectively, of borrowing capacity under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility which is available to fund working capital, acquisitions, distributions and capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes.

In addition, PBF Energy had borrowing capacity of $106.6 million and $212.7 million under the Rail Facility to fund the acquisition of Eligible Railcars as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Working Capital

Working capital for PBF Energy at June 30, 2015 was $1,113.4 million, consisting of $2,685.6 million in total current assets and $1,572.2 million in total current liabilities. Working capital at December 31, 2014 was $803.8 million, consisting of $2,346.7 million in total current assets and $1,542.8 million in total current liabilities.

Capital Spending

Net capital spending was $114.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, which primarily included turnaround costs, safety related enhancements and facility improvements at the refineries. We currently expect to spend an aggregate of approximately $175.0 to $200.0 million in net capital expenditures during 2015, excluding any potential capital expenditures related to the pending Chalmette Acquisition, for facility improvements and refinery maintenance and turnarounds.

As noted in "Business Developments", we entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement to purchase the ownership interests of Chalmette Refining. The aggregate purchase price for the Chalmette Acquisition is $322.0 million in cash, plus inventory and working capital to be determined at closing. The purchase price is also subject to other customary purchase price adjustments. The Chalmette Acquisition is expected to close prior to year-end 2015, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. We expect to finance the transaction through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility, as well as potentially utilizing inventory intermediation arrangements with third parties.

Share Repurchases

On August 19, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our Class A common stock (the "Repurchase Program"). On October 29, 2014, the Board of Directors approved an additional $100.0 million increase to the existing Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has purchased approximately 5.91 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock under the Repurchase Program for $146.7 million through open market transactions. The Company currently has the ability to purchase approximately an additional $153.3 million in common stock under the approved Repurchase Program.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2015, other than outstanding letters of credit in the amount of approximately $375.7 million.

In March 2015, we sold 515 of our owned crude railcars and concurrently entered into a lease agreement for the same railcars. The lease agreements for the railcars have varying terms from five to seven years. We received a cash payment for the railcars of approximately $77.6 million and expect to make payments totaling $44.9 million over the term of the lease for these railcars.

In June 2015, we sold 404 of our owned crude railcars and concurrently entered into lease agreements for the same railcars. The lease agreements for the railcars have varying terms from five to six years. We received aggregate cash payments for the railcars of approximately $60.5 million and expect to make payments totaling $36.0 million over the term of the lease for these railcars.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we entered into additional railcar leases with terms of up to 7 years. We expect to make lease payments of $39.0 million over the remaining term of these additional agreements.

Tax Receivable Agreement Obligations

We expect that the payments that we may make under the tax receivable agreement will be substantial. As of June 30, 2015, we have recognized a liability for the tax receivable agreement of $737.4 million reflecting

our estimate of the undiscounted amounts that we expect to pay under the agreement due to exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy's Class A common stock that occurred prior to that date, and to range over the next five years from approximately $38.4 million to $66.5 million per year and decline thereafter. In addition, under certain circumstances, our obligations under the tax receivable agreement may be accelerated and determined based on certain assumptions set forth therein. Assuming that the market value of a share of our Class A common stock equals $28.42 per share (the closing price on June 30, 2015) and that LIBOR were to be 1.85%, we estimate as of June 30, 2015 that the aggregate amount of these accelerated payments would have been approximately $679.7 million if triggered immediately on such date. These payment obligations are obligations of PBF Energy and not of PBF LLC or any of its subsidiaries including PBF Holding or PBFX. However, because PBF Energy is a holding company with no operations of its own, PBF Energy's ability to make payments under the tax receivable agreement is dependent upon a number of factors, including its subsidiaries' ability to make distributions for the benefit of PBF LLC's members, including PBF Energy, its ability, if necessary, to finance its obligations under the tax receivable agreement and existing indebtedness which may limit PBF Energy's subsidiaries' ability to make distributions.

Future payments under the tax receivable agreement by us in respect of subsequent exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy's Class A common stock would be in addition to the amounts above and are expected to be substantial. The foregoing numbers are merely estimates - the actual payments could differ materially and assume that there is no material changes in the relevant tax law, and that we earn sufficient taxable income to realize all tax benefits that are subject to the tax receivable agreement. It is possible that future transactions or events could increase or decrease the actual tax benefits realized and the corresponding tax receivable agreement payments.

Dividend and Distribution Policy

PBF Energy

With respect to dividends and distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2015, PBF LLC made aggregate non-tax quarterly distributions of $0.60 per unit to its members, of which $51.5 million was distributed to PBF Energy and the balance was distributed to its other members. PBF Energy used this $51.5 million to pay quarterly cash dividends of $0.30 per share of Class A common stock on March 10, 2015 and May 27, 2015. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, PBF LLC made aggregate tax distributions to its members of $91.9 million, of which $86.8 million were made to PBF Energy.

On July 30, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.30 per share on outstanding Class A common stock. The dividend is payable on August 25, 2015 to Class A common stockholders of record at the close of business on August 10, 2015. PBF LLC intends to make pro-rata distributions of $0.30 per unit to its members, including PBF Energy. PBF Energy will then use this distribution to fund the dividend payments to the shareholders of PBF Energy.

PBF Energy currently intends to pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share of Class A common stock. The declaration, amount and payment of this and any other future dividends on shares of Class A common stock will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors, and we are not obligated under any applicable laws, our governing documents or any contractual agreements with our existing owners or otherwise to declare or pay any dividends or other distributions (other than the obligations of PBF LLC to make tax distributions to its members).

As of June 30, 2015, PBF Energy had $987.4 million of unused borrowing availability, which includes PBF Holding cash and cash equivalents of $435.6 million, under the Revolving Loan to fund its operations, if necessary. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2015, there was sufficient cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under our credit facilities available to make distributions to PBF LLC, if necessary, in order for PBF LLC to make pro-rata distributions to its members, including PBF Energy, necessary to fund in excess of one year’s cash dividend payments by PBF Energy. PBF Holding would have been permitted under its debt agreements to make these distributions; however, their ability to continue to comply with their debt covenants is, to a significant degree, subject to its operating results, which are dependent on a number of factors outside of our control. We believe our

and our subsidiaries' available cash and cash equivalents, other sources of liquidity to operate our business and operating performance provides us with a reasonable basis for our assessment that we can support our intended dividend and distribution policy.

PBF Logistics LP

PBFX intends to pay a minimum quarterly distribution of at least $0.30 per unit per quarter, or $1.20 per unit on an annualized basis, which aggregates to approximately $10.4 million per quarter and approximately $41.8 million per year based on the number of common and subordinated units outstanding as of June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, PBFX made quarterly cash distributions totaling $22.9 million of which $12.0 million was distributed to PBF LLC and the balance was distributed to its public unit holders.

On July 30, 2015, the Board of Directors of PBFX's general partner, PBF GP, declared a distribution of $0.37 per unit on outstanding common and subordinated units of PBFX. The distribution is payable on August 31, 2015 to PBFX common and subordinated unit holders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2015.

As of June 30, 2015, PBFX had $298.5 million of unused borrowing availability under the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and cash and cash equivalents of $6.7 million to fund its operations, if necessary. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2015, there was sufficient cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under our credit facilities available to PBFX to make distributions to unit holders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, including changes in commodity prices and interest rates. Our primary commodity price risk is associated with the difference between the prices we sell our refined products for and the prices we pay for crude oil and other feedstocks. We may use derivative instruments to manage the risks from changes in the prices of crude oil and refined products, interest rates, or to capture market opportunities.

Commodity Price Risk

Our earnings, cash flow and liquidity are significantly affected by a variety of factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, other feedstocks, refined products and natural gas. The supply of and demand for these commodities depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, planned and unplanned downtime in refineries, pipelines and production facilities, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive and alternative fuels, and the extent of government regulation. As a result, the prices of these commodities can be volatile. Our revenues fluctuate significantly with movements in industry refined product prices, our cost of sales fluctuates significantly with movements in crude oil and feedstock prices and our operating expenses fluctuate with movements in the price of natural gas. We manage our exposure to these commodity price risks through our supply and inventory intermediation agreements as well as through the use of various commodity derivative instruments.

Certain of our agreements reduce the time we are exposed to market price fluctuations. For example, our crude and feedstock supply agreement with Statoil allows us to take title to and price our crude oil at locations in close proximity to our refineries, as opposed to the crude oil origination point. The crude supply agreement with MSCG for our Toledo refinery, which terminated on July 31, 2014, allowed us to price and pay for our crude oil as it is processed at that refinery.

We may use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of crude oil and feedstocks, finished products and natural gas outside of the agreements. The derivative instruments we use include physical commodity contracts and exchange-traded and over-the-counter financial instruments. We mark-to-market our commodity derivative instruments and recognize the changes in their fair value in our statements of operations.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had gross open commodity derivative contracts representing 41.6 million barrels and 49.3 million barrels, respectively, with an unrealized net gain of $18.7 million and $31.2 million, respectively. The open commodity derivative contracts as of June 30, 2015 expire at various times during 2015 and 2016.

We carry inventories of crude oil, intermediates and refined products (“hydrocarbon inventories”) on our balance sheet, the values of which are subject to fluctuations in market prices. Our hydrocarbon inventories totaled approximately 18.5 million barrels and 18.6 million barrels at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The average cost of our hydrocarbon inventories was approximately $99.08 and $94.29 per barrel on a LIFO basis at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, excluding the net impact of LCM adjustments of approximately $562.9 million and $690.1 million, respectively. If market prices decline to a level below the average cost, we may be required to further write down the carrying value of our hydrocarbon inventories to market.

Our predominant variable operating cost is energy, which is comprised primarily of natural gas and electricity. We are therefore sensitive to movements in natural gas prices. Assuming normal operating conditions, we annually consume a total of approximately 37 million MMBTUs of natural gas amongst our three refineries. Accordingly, a $1.00 per MMBTU change in natural gas prices would increase or decrease our natural gas costs by approximately $37 million.

Compliance Program Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. Our overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of our domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by the EPA. To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RINs obligation, 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.

Interest Rate Risk

Borrowings under the Revolving Loan bear interest either at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin, all as defined in the agreement. The Applicable Margin ranges from 1.50% to 2.25% for Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans and from 0.50% to 1.25% for Alternative Base Rate Loans, depending on the Company's debt rating. If this facility were fully drawn, a one percent change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by $25.0 million annually.

The PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and the PBFX Term Loan bear interest at a variable rate and exposes us to interest rate risk. A 1.0% change in the interest rate associated with the borrowings outstanding under these facilities would result in a $5.4 million change in our interest expense, assuming we were to borrow all $325.0 million under our PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and the outstanding balance of our PBFX Term Loan was $234.2 million.

The Rail Facility bears interest at a variable rate and exposes us to interest rate risk. A 1.0% change in the interest rate associated with the borrowings outstanding under this facility would result in a $1.5 million change in our interest expense, assuming the $150.0 million available under the Rail Facility were fully drawn.

We also have interest rate exposure in connection with our Statoil crude oil agreement and J. Aron Inventory Intermediation Agreements under which we pay a time value of money charge based on LIBOR.

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

PBF Energy maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information which is required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including PBF Energy's principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our system of disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of June 30, 2015. Based on that evaluation, PBF Energy's principal executive officer and the principal financial officer have concluded that PBF Energy's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management has not identified any changes in PBF Energy's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Delaware City Rail Terminal and DCR West Rack are collocated with the Delaware City refinery, and are located in Delaware's coastal zone where certain activities are regulated under the Delaware Coastal Zone act. On June 14, 2013, two administrative appeals were filed by the Sierra Club and Delaware Audubon (collectively the "Appellants") regarding an air permit Delaware City Refining Company LLC ("Delaware City Refining" or "DCR") obtained to allow loading of crude oil onto barges. The appeals allege that both the loading of crude oil onto barges and the operation of the Delaware City Rail Terminal violate Delaware’s Coastal Zone Act. The first appeal is Number 2013-1 before the State Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board (the “CZ Board”), and the second appeal is before the Environmental Appeals Board (the "EAB") and appeals Secretary’s Order No. 2013-A-0020. The CZ Board held a hearing on the first appeal on July 16, 2013, and ruled in favor of Delaware City Refining and the State of Delaware and dismissed the Appellants’ appeal for lack of standing. The Appellants appealed that decision to the Delaware Superior Court, New Castle County, Case No. N13A-09-001 ALR, and Delaware City Refining and the State of Delaware filed cross-appeals. A hearing on the second appeal before the EAB, case no. 2013-06, was held on January 13, 2014, and the EAB ruled in favor of DCR and the State and dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The Appellants also filed a Notice of Appeal with the Superior Court appealing the EAB’s decision. On March 31, 2015 the Superior Court affirmed the decisions by both the CZ Board and the EAB stating they both lacked jurisdiction to rule on the Appellants' appeal. The Appellants have appealed to the Delaware Supreme Court and briefing on the case is scheduled to continue into the third quarter of 2015. If the Appellants in one or both of these matters ultimately prevail, the outcome may have an adverse material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability to make distributions to its stockholders.

On July 24, 2013, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control ("DNREC") issued a Notice of Administrative Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order to Delaware City Refining for alleged air emission violations that occurred during the re-start of the refinery in 2011 and subsequent to the re-start. The penalty assessment seeks $460,200 in penalties and $69,030 in cost recovery for DNREC’s expenses associated with investigation of the incidents. We dispute the amount of the penalty assessment and allegations made in the order, and are in discussions with DNREC to resolve the assessment.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors supplement and/or update the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014:

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

Our announced Chalmette Acquisition may not close when we expect, or at all, and may pose unforeseen risks and/or not have the benefits we expect.

On June 17, 2015, we entered into an agreement to purchase the ownership interests of Chalmette Refining, which owns the Chalmette refinery and related logistics assets. The aggregate purchase price for the Chalmette Acquisition is $322.0 million in cash, plus inventory and working capital to be determined at closing. The purchase price is also subject to other customary purchase price adjustments. The Chalmette Acquisition is expected to close prior to year-end 2015, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that we will complete the Chalmette Acquisition under the terms set forth in the purchase agreement, or at all. We expect to finance the transaction through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility, as well as potentially utilizing inventory intermediation arrangements with third parties. The Chalmette refinery acquisition is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including (i) the possibility that the announced acquisition will be delayed or will not close due to the failure of either party to satisfy the closing conditions, or for other reasons, (ii) the risk that the Chalmette refinery will not be integrated into our company successfully or that expected benefits will not be realized and (iii) unforeseen liabilities associated with the Chalmette Acquisition. In addition,

we currently have no operations in the Gulf Coast and this may add complexity to effectively overseeing, integrating and operating this refinery and related assets.

Changes in laws or standards affecting the transportation of North American crude oil by rail could significantly impact our operations, and as a result cause our costs to increase.

Investigations into past rail accidents involving the transport of crude oil have prompted government agencies and other interested parties to call for increased regulation of the transport of crude oil by rail including in the areas of crude oil constituents, rail car design, routing of trains and other matters. The Secretary of Transportation issued an Emergency Restriction/Prohibition Order (the “Order”) that was later amended and restated on March 6, 2014 governing shipments of petroleum crude oil offered in transportation by rail. The Order requires shippers to properly test and classify petroleum crude oil and further requires shippers to treat Class 3 petroleum crude oil transported by rail in tank cars as a Packing Group I or II hazardous material only. To the extent that the Order is applicable, we believe our operations already comply with it and that the Order will not have a material impact on our cash flows. Subsequently, on May 7, 2014, the DOT issued a Safety Advisory warning rail shippers and carriers against the use of older design “111” rail cars for shipments of crude oil from the Bakken region. We do not expect this Safety Advisory will affect our operations because all of the rail cars utilized in crude oil service are the newer designed “CPC-1232” rail cars. Also on May 7, 2014, the DOT issued an order requiring rail carriers to provide certain notifications to State agencies along routes utilized by trains over a certain length carrying crude oil. The required notifications do not affect our unloading operations. In addition, in November 2014, the DOT issued a final rule regarding safety training standards under the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008. The rule required each railroad or contractor to develop and submit a training program to perform regular oversight and annual written reviews. Recently, on May 1, 2015 the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the Federal Railroad Administration issued new final rules for enhanced tank car standards and operational controls for high-hazard flammable trains. While these new rules have just been issued and we are still evaluating the impact of these new rules, we do not believe the new rules will have a material impact on our operations or financial position and we believe we will be able to comply with the new rules without a material impact. If further changes in law, regulations or industry standards occur that result in requirements to reduce the volatile or flammable constituents in crude oil that is transported by rail, alter the design or standards for rail cars, change the routing or scheduling of trains carrying crude oil, or any other changes that detrimentally affect the economics of delivering North American crude oil by rail to our or subsequently to third party refineries, our costs could increase, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and our ability to service our indebtedness.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Exchange of PBF LLC Series A Units to Class A Common Stock
