1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

General

The terms “Valero,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” as used in this report, may refer to Valero Energy Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole.

These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 2, the outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 resulted in significant economic disruption globally. This disruption became more acute in the latter half of March 2020. While demand and market prices for most of our products increased during the second quarter of 2020 compared to the end of the first quarter of 2020, developments with respect to COVID-19 have been occurring at a rapid pace and the risk remains that circumstances could change. For instance, during the latter part of the second quarter of 2020, governmental authorities in various states across the U.S. began to lift many of the restrictions created by actions taken to slow down the spread of COVID-19. However, many of the states where such restrictions were lifted, and several states where the restrictions have essentially never been lifted (such as California in our U.S. West Coast region), have recently experienced a marked increase in the spread of COVID-19 and many governmental authorities in such areas have responded by reimposing certain restrictions they had previously lifted. Therefore, our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 do not fully reflect the impact this disruption will likely continue to have on us.

The balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from our audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to our financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Reclassifications

Prior year amounts for capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures, and repayments of debt and finance lease obligations in the consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation to separately present these activities for us and our consolidated VIEs.

Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

2.	UNCERTAINTIES AND CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Overview

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 and certain developments in the global oil markets have impacted and continue to impact our business. We responded, and will strive to continue to respond, to the impact from these matters on our business. We reduced the amount of crude oil processed at most of our refineries in response to the decreased demand for our products, we temporarily idled various gasoline-making units at certain of our refineries to further limit gasoline production, and we took measures to reduce jet fuel production. Eight of our ethanol plants were temporarily idled, and production at our remaining six ethanol plants was reduced earlier this year to address the decreased demand for ethanol. Demand for most of our products partially recovered during the latter part of the second quarter of 2020. As a result, we have increased the production of most of our products and recently restarted the gasoline-making units and four ethanol plants that had been temporarily idled.

Many uncertainties remain with respect to COVID-19, including its resulting economic effects, and we are unable to predict the ultimate economic impacts from COVID-19 on our business and how quickly national economies can recover once the pandemic subsides, or whether any recovery will ultimately experience a reversal or other setbacks. However, the adverse impacts of the economic effects from COVID-19 and uncertainty in the global oil markets on our business have been and will likely continue to be significant. We believe we have proactively addressed many of the known impacts of COVID-19 to the extent possible and we will strive to continue to do so, but there can be no assurance that any measures we have taken or may take will be fully effective. As a result, we expect these matters may affect our estimates and assumptions on amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes in the near term.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Impairment Analysis of Long-Lived Assets

Due to the adverse economic conditions discussed above, we reviewed our significant operating assets for the existence of impairment indicators. As a result of this review, we evaluated six ethanol plants for potential impairment as of June 30, 2020, assuming that we would operate these plants in the future and considering current economic conditions on our future estimated cash flows. Based on our analysis, we determined that the carrying amount of each of these plants was recoverable, as the undiscounted future cash flows from each plant exceeded its respective carrying value. Nonetheless, we will continue to evaluate the economic conditions and their impact on our assumptions.

Impairment Analysis of Goodwill

We have $260 million of goodwill as of June 30, 2020. All of our goodwill is allocated to one reporting unit, the U.S. Gulf Coast refining region. Our annual test for the impairment of goodwill is performed on October 1 of each year. However, as discussed above, there were adverse changes in the capital and commodity markets that contributed to a significant decline in our common stock price compared to the price as of December 31, 2019 and early March 2020. Despite the decline in our common stock price, we determined our goodwill was not impaired as of June 30, 2020. Nonetheless, we will continue to evaluate the economic conditions and their impact on our assumptions.

Inventory Valuation

See Note 4 regarding our $294 million LCM inventory valuation reserve and the estimates used to determine the market value of our inventories.


3.	MERGER WITH VLP

On January 10, 2019, we completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding publicly held common units of VLP pursuant to a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement, and together with the transactions contemplated thereby, the Merger Transaction) with VLP. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, each outstanding publicly held common unit was converted into the right to receive $42.25 per common unit in cash without any interest thereon, and all such publicly traded common units were automatically canceled and ceased to exist. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, we paid aggregate merger consideration of $950 million, which was funded with available cash on hand.

Prior to the completion of the Merger Transaction, we consolidated the financial statements of VLP and reflected noncontrolling interests on our balance sheet for the portion of VLP’s partners’ capital held by VLP’s public common unitholders. Upon completion of the Merger Transaction, VLP became our indirect wholly owned subsidiary and, as a result, we no longer reflect noncontrolling interests on our balance sheet with respect to VLP. In addition, we no longer attribute a portion of VLP’s net income to noncontrolling interests. Because we had a controlling financial interest in VLP before the Merger Transaction and retained our controlling financial interest in VLP after the Merger Transaction, the change in our ownership interest in VLP as a result of the merger was accounted for as an equity transaction. Accordingly, we did not recognize a gain or loss on the Merger Transaction.

Inventories before LCM inventory valuation reserve	5,714			7,013
LCM inventory valuation reserve	(294		)	—
Inventories	$	5,420		$	7,013

We compare the market value of inventories to their cost on an aggregate basis, excluding materials and supplies. In determining the market value of our inventories, we assume that feedstocks are converted into refined products, which requires us to make estimates regarding the refined products expected to be produced from those feedstocks and the conversion costs required to convert those feedstocks into refined products. We also estimate the usual and customary transportation costs required to move the inventory from our plants to the appropriate points of sale. We then apply an estimated selling price to our inventories. If the aggregate market value is less than the aggregate cost, we recognize a loss for the difference in our statements of income. To the extent the aggregate market value subsequently increases, we would recognize an increase to the value of our inventories (not to exceed cost) and a gain in our statements of income.

The market value of our last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory fell below our historical LIFO inventory costs as of March 31, 2020, and as a result, we recorded an LCM inventory valuation reserve of $2.5 billion in order to state our inventories at market. As of June 30, 2020, our LCM inventory valuation reserve was $294 million. The change in our LCM inventory valuation reserve resulted in a net benefit of $2.2 billion and a net charge of $294 million to our results of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the replacement cost (market value) of LIFO inventories exceeded their LIFO carrying amounts by $2.5 billion.

Our non-LIFO inventories accounted for $912 million and $1.4 billion of our total inventories as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Significant Lease Commencement

We have a 50 percent membership interest in MVP Terminalling, LLC (MVP), an unconsolidated joint venture formed in September 2017 with a subsidiary of Magellan Midstream Partners LP, to construct, own, and operate the Magellan Valero Pasadena marine terminal (MVP Terminal) located adjacent to the Houston Ship Channel in Pasadena, Texas. Concurrent with the formation of MVP, we entered into a terminaling agreement with MVP to utilize the MVP Terminal upon completion of the initial two phases of construction, which occurred in the first quarter of 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a finance lease ROU asset and related liability of approximately $1.4 billion in connection with this agreement. The terminaling agreement has an initial term of 12 years with two five-year automatic renewals, and year-to-year renewals thereafter.

364-day Revolving Credit Facility

In April 2020, we entered into an $875 million 364-Day Credit Agreement (the 364-day Revolving Credit Facility) with several lenders. This facility provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $875 million and matures 364 days from April 13, 2020.

Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the base rate or the eurodollar rate (at our election) plus an applicable rate ranging from 0.150 percent to 1.700 percent, based upon the elected interest rate type and our debt ratings from certain rating agencies. The facility requires us to pay a commitment fee accruing on the daily amount of used and unused commitments of the lenders, also based upon our debt ratings mentioned

8.	VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Consolidated VIEs

We consolidate a VIE when we have a variable interest in an entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. As of June 30, 2020, our significant consolidated VIEs included:


•	DGD, a joint venture with a subsidiary of Darling Ingredients Inc., which owns and operates a plant that processes animal fats, used cooking oils, and other vegetable oils into renewable diesel; and


•	Central Mexico Terminals, which is a collective group of three subsidiaries of Infraestructura Energetica Nova, S.A.B. de C.V. (IEnova), a Mexican company and subsidiary of Sempra Energy, a U.S. public company. We have terminaling agreements with Central Mexico Terminals that represent variable interests. We do not have an ownership interest in Central Mexico Terminals.

The VIEs’ assets can only be used to settle their own obligations and the VIEs’ creditors have no recourse to our assets. We do not provide financial guarantees to our VIEs. Although we have provided credit facilities to some of our VIEs in support of their construction or acquisition activities, these transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows are impacted by our consolidated VIEs’ performance, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in each VIE.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we contributed $19 million and $23 million, respectively, to our pension plans and $7 million and $8 million, respectively, to our other postretirement benefit plans.

We previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 that we planned to contribute approximately $140 million to our pension plans and $21 million to our other postretirement benefit plans during 2020. Due to the current economic environment, we are reconsidering our intent to make a discretionary contribution of $100 million to our qualified U.S. pension plan.

10.	INCOME TAXES

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was enacted, which resulted in significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The most significant changes affecting us were as follows:

•

Modification of the limitations previously set by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 by providing that tax net operating losses (NOLs) arising in a tax year beginning in 2018, 2019, or 2020 can be carried back five years. This provision allows the taxpayer to recover taxes previously paid at a 35 percent federal income tax rate during tax years prior to 2018. In addition, the CARES Act removed the taxable income limitation to allow a tax NOL to fully offset taxable income for tax years beginning before January 1, 2021.


•	Increased the deductibility of interest expense from 30 percent to 50 percent of adjusted taxable income for 2019 and 2020. Also, a taxpayer can elect to use its 2019 adjusted taxable income in 2020 to determine the deductible amount of interest expense in that year.

Our income tax expense (benefit) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 included a tax benefit of $7 million and $117 million, respectively, attributable to the expected tax NOL carryback provided under the CARES Act for expected tax NOLs from our current tax year to our 2015 tax year in which we paid federal income tax at a 35 percent tax rate.

We have spot and term contracts with customers, the majority of which are spot contracts with no remaining performance obligations. We do not disclose remaining performance obligations for contracts that have terms of one year or less. The transaction price for our remaining term contracts includes a fixed component and variable consideration (i.e., a commodity price), both of which are allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good that forms part of a single performance obligation. The fixed component is not material and the variable consideration is highly uncertain. Therefore, as of June 30, 2020, we have not disclosed the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to our remaining performance obligations.

Segment Information

We have three reportable segments — refining, renewable diesel, and ethanol. Each segment is a strategic business unit that offers different products and services by employing unique technologies and marketing strategies and whose operations and operating performance are managed and evaluated separately. Operating performance is measured based on the operating income generated by the segment, which includes revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to the management of the respective segment. Intersegment sales are generally derived from transactions made at prevailing market rates. The following is a description of each segment’s business operations.


•	The refining segment includes the operations of our 15 petroleum refineries, the associated marketing activities, and logistics assets that support our refining operations. The principal products

manufactured by our refineries and sold by this segment include gasolines and blendstocks, distillates, and other products.


•	The renewable diesel segment includes the operations of DGD, our consolidated joint venture as discussed in Note 8. The principal product manufactured by DGD and sold by this segment is renewable diesel. This segment sells some renewable diesel to the refining segment, which is then sold to that segment’s customers.

•

The ethanol segment includes the operations of our 14 ethanol plants, the associated marketing activities, and logistics assets that support our ethanol operations. The principal products manufactured by our ethanol plants are ethanol and distillers grains. This segment sells some ethanol to the refining segment for blending into gasoline, which is sold to that segment’s customers as a finished gasoline product.

Operations that are not included in any of the reportable segments are included in the corporate category.

13.	SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

In order to determine net cash provided by operating activities, net income (loss) is adjusted by, among other things, changes in current assets and current liabilities as follows (in millions):



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020			2019
Decrease (increase) in current assets:
Receivables, net	$	4,616		$	(1,664	)
Inventories	1,136			278
Prepaid expenses and other	(383		)	406
Increase (decrease) in current liabilities:

Accrued expenses	(73		)	(195		)
Taxes other than income taxes payable	(180		)	(75		)
Income taxes payable	(148		)	108
Changes in current assets and current liabilities	$	(478	)	$	413

Changes in current assets and current liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were as follows:


•	the decrease in receivables was primarily due to (i) a decrease of $4.1 billion as a result of a decrease in commodity prices in June 2020 compared to December 2019 combined with a decrease in sales volumes and (ii) the collection of $449 million for a blender’s tax credit receivable attributable to volumes blended during 2019 and 2018;


•	the decrease in inventories was due to lower inventory levels combined with a decrease in commodity prices in June 2020 compared to December 2019;


•	the increase in prepaid expenses and other was primarily related to the recognition of an income tax receivable of approximately $440 million; and


•	the decrease in accounts payable was due to a decrease in commodity prices in June 2020 compared to December 2019 combined with a decrease in crude oil and other feedstock volumes purchased.

Changes in current assets and current liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:


•	the increase in receivables was due to an increase in sales volumes combined with an increase in commodity prices in June 2019 compared to December 2018;


•	the decrease in inventories was due to lower inventory levels in June 2019 compared to December 2018;

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


•	the decrease in prepaid expenses and other was mainly due to a decrease in income taxes receivable resulting from a refund of $348 million, including interest, associated with the settlement of the combined audit related to our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2010 and 2011;


•	the increase in accounts payable was due to an increase in commodity prices in June 2019 compared to December 2018 combined with an increase in crude oil and other feedstock volumes purchased and the timing of payments of invoices; and


•	the decrease in accrued expenses was mainly due to the payment of our annual incentive compensation related to 2018.

14.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information (in millions) about our assets and liabilities recognized at their fair values in our balance sheets categorized according to the fair value hierarchy of the inputs utilized by us to determine the fair values as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

We have elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple similar derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty, including any related cash collateral assets or obligations as shown below; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented in the following tables on a gross basis. We have no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross on the balance sheet.

A description of our assets and liabilities recognized at fair value along with the valuation methods and inputs we used to develop their fair value measurements are as follows:


•	Commodity derivative contracts consist primarily of exchange-traded futures, which are used to reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows as discussed in Note 15. These contracts are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from the commodity exchange and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.


•	Physical purchase contracts represent the fair value of fixed-price corn purchase contracts. The fair values of these purchase contracts are measured using a market approach based on quoted prices from the commodity exchange or an independent pricing service and are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

•

Investments of certain benefit plans consist of investment securities held by trusts for the purpose of satisfying a portion of our obligations under certain U.S. nonqualified benefit plans. The plan assets categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from national securities exchanges. The plan assets categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy represent insurance contracts, the fair value of which is provided by the insurer.

•

Foreign currency contracts consist of foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts and foreign currency swap agreements related to our international operations to manage our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than the local (functional) currencies of our operations. These contracts are valued based on quoted foreign currency exchange rates and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

•

Environmental credit obligations represent our liability for the purchase of (i) biofuel credits (primarily Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) in the U.S.) needed to satisfy our obligation to blend biofuels into the products we produce and (ii) emission credits under the California Global Warming Solutions Act (the California cap-and-trade system, also known as AB 32) and similar programs (collectively, the cap-and-trade systems). To the degree we are unable to blend biofuels (such as ethanol and biodiesel) at percentages required under the biofuel programs, we must purchase biofuel credits to comply with these programs. Under the cap-and-trade systems, we must purchase emission credits to comply with these systems. The liability for environmental credits is based on our deficit for such credits as of the balance sheet date, if any, after considering any credits acquired or under contract, and is equal to the product of the credits deficit and the market price of these credits as of the balance sheet date. The environmental credit obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 for assets and liabilities held as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

There was no significant activity during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 related to the fair value amounts categorized in Level 3 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

There were no assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

15.	PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

General

We are exposed to market risks primarily related to the volatility in the price of commodities, foreign currency exchange rates, and the price of credits needed to comply with various government and regulatory programs. We enter into derivative instruments to manage some of these risks, including derivative instruments related to the various commodities we purchase or produce, and foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts, as described below under “Risk Management Activities by Type of Risk.” These derivative instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair values (see Note 14), as summarized below under “Fair Values of Derivative Instruments.” The effect of these derivative instruments on our income and other comprehensive income (loss) is summarized below under “Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).”

Risk Management Activities by Type of Risk

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of crude oil, refined petroleum products (primarily gasoline and distillate), renewable diesel, grain (primarily corn), renewable diesel feedstocks, and natural gas used in our operations. To reduce the impact of price volatility on our results of operations and cash flows, we use commodity derivative instruments, such as futures and options. Our positions in commodity derivative instruments are monitored and managed on a daily basis by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy that has been approved by our board of directors.

We primarily use commodity derivative instruments as cash flow hedges and economic hedges. Our objectives for entering into each type of hedge is described below.


•	Cash flow hedges – The objective of our cash flow hedges is to lock in the price of forecasted (i) feedstock, refined petroleum product, or natural gas purchases, or (ii) refined petroleum product or renewable diesel sales at existing market prices that we deem favorable.

•

Economic hedges – Our objectives for holding economic hedges are to (i) manage price volatility in certain feedstock and refined petroleum product inventories and fixed-price purchase contracts, and (ii) lock in the price of forecasted feedstock, refined petroleum product, or natural gas purchases, or refined petroleum product or renewable diesel sales at existing market prices that we deem favorable.

As of June 30, 2020, we had the following outstanding commodity derivative instruments that were used as cash flow hedges and economic hedges, as well as commodity derivative instruments related to the physical purchase of corn at a fixed price. The information presents the notional volume of outstanding contracts by type of instrument and year of maturity (volumes in thousands of barrels, except corn contracts that are presented in thousands of bushels).

Corn:
Futures – long	63,030	130
Futures – short	76,110	1,255
Physical contracts – long	11,751	1,214

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions related to our international operations that are denominated in currencies other than the local (functional) currencies of our operations. To manage our exposure to these exchange rate fluctuations, we use foreign currency contracts. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and therefore are classified as economic hedges. As of June 30, 2020, we had foreign currency contracts to purchase $219 million of U.S. dollars, $1.9 billion of U.S. dollar equivalent Canadian dollars, and $500 million of U.S. dollar equivalent pounds sterling. Of these commitments, $919 million matured on or before July 24, 2020 and the remaining $1.7 billion will mature by October 15, 2020.

Environmental Compliance Program Price Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. To manage this risk, we enter into contracts to purchase these credits when prices are deemed favorable. Some of these contracts are derivative instruments; however, we elect the normal purchase exception and do not record these contracts at their fair values. Certain of these programs require us to blend biofuels into the products we produce, and we are subject to such programs in most of the countries in which we operate. These countries set annual quotas for the percentage of biofuels that must be blended into the motor fuels consumed in these countries. As a producer of motor fuels from petroleum, we are obligated to blend biofuels into the products we produce at a rate that is at least equal to the applicable quota. To the degree we are unable to blend at the applicable

Table of Contents

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

rate, we must purchase biofuel credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.). We are exposed to the volatility in the market price of these credits, and we manage that risk by purchasing biofuel credits when prices are deemed favorable. The cost of meeting our obligations under these compliance programs was $136 million and $67 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $248 million and $158 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These amounts are reflected in cost of materials and other.

We are subject to additional requirements under greenhouse gas (GHG) emission programs, including the cap-and-trade systems, as discussed in Note 14. Under these cap-and-trade systems, we purchase various GHG emission credits available on the open market. Therefore, we are exposed to the volatility in the market price of these credits. The cost to implement certain provisions of the cap-and-trade systems are significant; however, we recovered the majority of these costs from our customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and expect to continue to recover the majority of these costs in the future. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the net cost of meeting our obligations under these compliance programs was immaterial.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

The following tables provide information about the fair values of our derivative instruments as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in millions) and the line items in the balance sheets in which the fair values are reflected. See Note 14 for additional information related to the fair values of our derivative instruments.

As indicated in Note 14, we net fair value amounts recognized for multiple similar derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements, including cash collateral assets and obligations. The following table, however, is presented on a gross asset and gross liability basis, which results in the reflection of certain assets in liability accounts and certain liabilities in asset accounts:

Market Risk

Our price risk management activities involve the receipt or payment of fixed price commitments into the future. These transactions give rise to market risk, which is the risk that future changes in market conditions may make an instrument less valuable. We closely monitor and manage our exposure to market risk on a daily basis in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors.

For cash flow hedges, no component of the derivative instruments’ gains or losses was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, cash flow hedges primarily related to forward sales of renewable diesel and we estimate that the deferred after-tax loss of $3 million as of June 30, 2020 will be reclassified into revenues over the next 12 months as a result of hedged transactions that are forecasted to occur. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into income as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting. The changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss by component, net of tax, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are described in Note 7.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The discussions in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK” and “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” below include references to financial measures that are not defined under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted operating income (including adjusted operating income for each of our reportable segments, as applicable) and refining, renewable diesel, and ethanol segment margin. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures to help facilitate the comparison of operating results between periods. See the tables in note (d) beginning on page 57 for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Also in note (d), we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Overview

Business Operations Update

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 has resulted in significant economic disruption globally, including in North America and Europe, the primary geographic areas where we operate. In March, governmental authorities around the world took actions, such as stay-at-home orders and other social distancing measures, to slow down the spread of COVID-19 that restricted travel, public gatherings, and the overall level of individual movement and in-person interaction across the globe. These actions have significantly reduced global economic activity and negatively impacted many businesses, including our business. Airlines have dramatically reduced flights and motor vehicle usage has significantly declined at a time when seasonal driving patterns typically result in an increase of consumer demand for gasoline. As a result, there has also been a decline in the demand for, and thus also the market prices of, crude oil and most of our products. In addition, global crude oil production levels did not decline initially despite lower demand and storage capacity constraints for crude oil and refined products, which, during March 2020 and much of the second quarter of 2020, exacerbated the decline in crude oil prices and contributed to an increase in crude oil price volatility.

During the latter part of the second quarter of 2020, governmental authorities in various states across the U.S., particularly those in our U.S. Gulf Coast and U.S. Mid-Continent regions, began to lift many of the restrictions created by actions taken to slow down the spread of COVID-19, while many governmental authorities in our U.S. West Coast and North Atlantic regions only recently began taking similar actions. These actions have resulted in an increase in the level of individual movement and travel and, in turn, an increase in the demand and market prices for most of our products relative to late March 2020. However, many of the states where such restrictions were lifted, and several states where the restrictions have essentially never been lifted (such as California in our U.S. West Coast region), have recently experienced a marked increase in the spread of COVID-19 and many governmental authorities in such areas have responded by reimposing certain restrictions they had previously lifted. While this response has not yet significantly impacted the increased level of individual movement associated with the initial lifting of many restrictions, the risk remains that the reimposition of such restrictions that has already occurred, or any further reimposition

Table of Contents

of prior restrictions or any imposition of new restrictions that may occur in the future, could each weaken the partial recovery in the demand and market prices for our products, which would negatively affect us.

The decrease in the demand for refined petroleum products coupled with the decline in the price of crude oil has resulted in a significant decrease in the price of refined petroleum products manufactured by our refining segment. For example, the price of gasoline^(a) in the U.S. Gulf Coast region where eight of our 15 refineries are located was $68.82 per barrel at the beginning of 2020, fell to $17.65 per barrel at the end of March (a 74 percent decline), and partially recovered to $46.58 per barrel by the end of June (a 32 percent decline over the six-month period). Another example is the price of diesel^(b) in the U.S. Gulf Coast region, which was $81.71 per barrel at the beginning of 2020, fell to $39.18 per barrel at the end of March (a 52 percent decline), and partially recovered to $47.58 per barrel by the end of June (a 42 percent decline over the six-month period). On July 29, 2020, the prices of gasoline^(a) and diesel^(b) were $46.44 per barrel and $50.76 per barrel, respectively.

The price of ethanol manufactured by our ethanol segment has also decreased due to a decline in demand. Because ethanol is primarily blended into gasoline, ethanol demand declined along with the decline in the demand for gasoline. Demand for renewable diesel, however, has not significantly declined due to continued demand for this low-carbon fuel despite the current economic environment; therefore, our renewable diesel segment has not been impacted as significantly as our refining and ethanol segments.

Prices for the products we sell and the feedstocks we purchase impact our revenues, cost of sales, operating income, and liquidity. In addition, a decline in the market prices of products and feedstocks below their carrying values in our inventory results in a writedown in the value of our inventories, and a subsequent recovery in market prices results in a write-up in the value of our inventories to their previous carrying values. These inventory valuation adjustments are referred to as “lower of cost or market (LCM) inventory valuation adjustments” and are described in Note 4 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. For the second quarter of 2020, we generated operating income of $1.8 billion, which includes a $2.2 billion recovery in the value of our inventories. We wrote down the value of our inventories by $2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2020 due to the significant decline in market prices at that time, but as previously noted, market prices improved during the second quarter resulting in the reversal of all but $294 million of the initial writedown. For the first six months of 2020, we generated an operating loss of $488 million, which includes the $294 million writedown in the value of our inventories. Our operating results for the second quarter and the first six months of 2020, including operating results by segment, are described in the summary below and detailed descriptions can be found under “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” on pages 45 through 65.

Our cash and cash equivalents declined by $264 million during the first six months of 2020, from $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2019 to $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2020. We invested $1.3 billion in our business and returned $948 million to our stockholders primarily through dividends, but also through purchases of our common stock, which, as discussed below, have not occurred under our stock purchase program since mid-March 2020. These uses of cash were largely offset by proceeds from a $1.5 billion public debt offering completed in April 2020 as described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, our operations generated net cash of $687 million, which was driven by a decrease in inventory on hand. Even though our cash and cash equivalents on hand declined during the first six months of 2020, we ended the period with $7.7 billion of liquidity^(c). A summary of our cash flows is presented on page 66, and a description of our cash flows and other matters impacting our liquidity and capital resources, including measures we have taken or are considering to take to address the impacts of COVID-19 on our liquidity, can be found under “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” on pages 65 through 69.

Table of Contents

We responded, and will strive to continue to respond, to the impacts from COVID-19 on our business. We reduced the amount of crude oil processed at most of our refineries in response to the decreased demand for our products, we temporarily idled various gasoline-making units at certain of our refineries to further limit gasoline production, and we took measures to reduce jet fuel production. Eight of our ethanol plants were temporarily idled, and production at our remaining six ethanol plants was reduced earlier this year to address the decreased demand for ethanol. Demand for most of our products partially recovered during the latter part of the second quarter of 2020. As a result, we have increased the production of most of our products and recently restarted the gasoline-making units and four ethanol plants that had been temporarily idled. In addition to these measures, we have addressed our liquidity as outlined below:


•	We deferred projects representing approximately $400 million of capital investments that we had expected to make in 2020 related to our refining and ethanol segments.

•

We deferred income and indirect (e.g., value-added taxes (VAT) and motor fuel taxes) tax payments due in the first six months of 2020 of approximately $440 million. These deferrals have been provided to taxpayers under new legislation, such as the CARES Act in the U.S., and by various taxing authorities under existing legislation. Approximately 40 percent of the deferred payments will be due in the third quarter of 2020, with the remaining amount due in 2021.


•	We have not purchased any shares of our common stock under our stock purchase program since mid-March 2020, and we will evaluate the timing of repurchases when appropriate. We have no obligation to make purchases under our stock purchase program.


•	We entered into a 364-day Revolving Credit Facility on April 13, 2020 with an aggregate principal amount of up to $875 million as described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As of June 30, 2020 and July 29, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under this facility.


•	We extended the maturity date of our accounts receivable sales facility to July 2021 and decreased the facility amount from $1.3 billion to $1.0 billion as described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As of June 30, 2020 and July 29, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under this facility, and available borrowing capacity was $666 million as of July 29, 2020.

Many uncertainties remain with respect to COVID-19, including its resulting economic effects, and we are unable to predict the ultimate economic impacts from COVID-19 on our business and how quickly national economies can recover once the pandemic subsides, or whether any recovery will ultimately experience a reversal or other setbacks. However, the adverse impacts of the economic effects on our company have been and will likely continue to be significant. We believe we have proactively addressed many of the known impacts of COVID-19 to the extent possible and we will strive to continue to do so, but there can be no assurance that these or other measures will be fully effective.

Second Quarter Results

For the second quarter of 2020, we reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $1.3 billion compared to $612 million for the second quarter of 2019, which represents an increase of $641 million. The increase was primarily due to higher operating income of $881 million, partially offset by a $179 million increase in income taxes. The increase in operating income included a $2.2 billion reversal in the LCM inventory valuation adjustment as described in Note 4 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in note (b) on page 56.

While our operating income increased by $881 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019, adjusted operating income decreased by $1.4 billion. Adjusted operating income excludes the LCM inventory valuation adjustment and other adjustments reflected in the table in note (d) on page 57.

The $1.4 billion decrease in adjusted operating income was primarily due to the following:


•	Refining segment. Refining segment adjusted operating income decreased by $1.4 billion primarily due to decreases in gasoline and distillate margins and lower throughput volumes, partially offset by stronger discounts on crude oils. This is more fully described on pages 49 and 50.


•	Renewable diesel segment. Renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income decreased by $16 million primarily due to lower renewable diesel prices and higher feedstock costs, partially offset by a favorable impact from commodity derivative instruments associated with our price risk management activities. This is more fully described on page 51.


•	Ethanol segment. Ethanol segment adjusted operating income decreased by $28 million primarily due to lower ethanol prices and production volumes, partially offset by lower corn prices. This is more fully described on pages 52 and 53.

First Six Months Results

For the first six months of 2020, we reported a net loss attributable to Valero stockholders of $598 million compared to net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $753 million for the first six months of 2019, which represents a decrease of $1.4 billion. The decrease was primarily due to lower operating income of $1.7 billion, partially offset by a $488 million decrease in income taxes.

While our operating income decreased by $1.7 billion in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019, adjusted operating income decreased by $1.6 billion. Adjusted operating income excludes the adjustments reflected in the table in note (d) on page 57.

The $1.6 billion decrease in adjusted operating incomewas primarily due to the following:


•	Refining segment. Refining segment adjusted operating income decreased by $1.6 billion primarily due to decreases in gasoline and distillate margins and lower throughput volumes, partially offset by higher margins on other products. This is more fully described on pages 62 and 63.


•	Renewable diesel segment. Renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income increased by $61 million primarily due to a favorable impact from commodity derivative instruments associated with our price risk management activities and higher renewable diesel sales volumes, partially offset by lower renewable diesel prices. This is more fully described on pages 63 and 64.

Table of Contents


•	Ethanol segment. Ethanol segment adjusted operating income decreased by $100 million primarily due to lower ethanol prices and production volumes. This is more fully described on pages 64 and 65.

Outlook

As previously discussed, many uncertainties remain with respect to COVID-19 and the global oil markets, and it is difficult to predict the ultimate economic impacts on us. However, we expect that the adverse impacts will likely continue during the third quarter of 2020, but with the anticipated improvements as noted below.


•	Gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel prices are expected to improve as a result of an expected draw in excess product inventories toward historical levels and a balancing of recovering demand and stabilizing refinery utilization.


•	Sour crude oil discounts are expected to improve with the anticipated easing of OPEC production cuts.


•	Renewable diesel prices and resulting product margins are expected to improve due to anticipated higher diesel prices.


•	Ethanol prices and resulting product margins are expected to improve due to an expected increase in ethanol demand as domestic gasoline consumption improves toward historical levels.

Revenues decreased by $18.5 billion in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to decreases in refined petroleum product prices associated with sales made by our refining segment. The decrease in revenues was more than offset by a decrease in cost of sales of $19.4 billion primarily due to decreases in crude oil and other feedstock costs and the $2.2 billion reversal in the LCM inventory valuation adjustment, which resulted in an $881 million increase in operating income, from $908 million in the second quarter of 2019 to $1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2020.

Adjusted operating income decreased by $1.4 billion, from $982 million of operating income in the second quarter of 2019 to an operating loss of $456 million in the second quarter of 2020. The $1.4 billion decrease includes a $30 million decrease in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and

Table of Contents

amortization expense) associated with our corporate activities, and this decrease is discussed below. The remaining components of the decrease in adjusted operating income are discussed by segment in the segment analysis that follows.

General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $30 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to lower advertising expenses of $16 million and a decrease in taxes other than income taxes of $14 million.

Income tax expense increased by $179 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily as a result of higher income before income tax expense. The increase in income tax expense was partially offset by an income tax benefit in the second quarter of 2020 of $7 million associated with the carryback of an expected tax NOL from our current tax year to our 2015 tax year, in which we paid federal income tax at a 35 percent tax rate, as allowed by the CARES Act. See Note 10 in Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. Our effective tax rate was 20 percent for the second quarter of 2020 and the second quarter of 2019.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $46 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to higher earnings associated with DGD.

Refining Segment Results

Refining segment operating income increased by $714 million in the second quarter of 2020; however, refining segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustments in the table in note (d) on page 58, decreased by $1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. The components of the decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.


•	Refining segment margin decreased by $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019.

Refining segment margin is primarily affected by the prices of the refined petroleum products that we sell and the cost of crude oil and other feedstocks (primarily residual fuel oil and vacuum gas

Table of Contents

oil) that we process. The market prices for refined petroleum products generally track the price of benchmark crude oils, such as Brent, WTI, and ANS; therefore, our refining segment margin is affected by our ability to purchase and process crude oils and other feedstocks that are priced at a discount to the benchmark crude oils. While we benefit when we process these types of crude oils and other feedstocks, that benefit will vary as the discount increases or decreases. Increases in these discounts have a favorable impact on our refining segment margin as it lowers our cost of materials; whereas lower discounts result in higher cost of materials, which has a negative impact on our refining segment margin. The table on page 47 reflects market reference prices and differentials that we believe had a material impact on the change in our refining segment margin in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019.

The decrease in refining segment margin was primarily due to the following:


◦	A decrease in gasoline margins had an unfavorable impact of approximately $826 million.


◦	A decrease in distillate (primarily diesel) margins had an unfavorable impact of approximately $723 million.

◦

A decrease in throughput volumes of 647,000 barrels per day had an unfavorable impact of approximately $564 million. As noted in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update” on pages 40 through 42, we reduced the amount of crude oil processed at our refineries and limited the production of gasoline and jet fuel at certain of our refineries late in the first quarter of 2020 and into the beginning of the second quarter of 2020. However, demand for most of our products partially recovered during the latter part of the second quarter of 2020 and, as a result, we have increased the production of most of our products and restarted the gasoline-making units that had been temporarily idled at certain of our refineries.


◦	Higher discounts on crude oils had a favorable impact of approximately $435 million.


◦	Higher discounts on other feedstocks had a favorable impact of approximately $177 million.


•	Refining segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $98 million primarily due to lower natural gas and electricity costs of $50 million, lower chemical and catalyst costs of $22 million, and lower maintenance expenses of $17 million.


•	Refining segment depreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased by $15 million primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense associated with capital projects that were completed and finance leases that commenced in the latter half of 2019 and the first half of 2020.

Renewable diesel segment operating income increased by $52 million in the second quarter of 2020; however, renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustment in the table in note (d) on page 58, decreased by $16 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower renewable diesel segment margin.

Renewable diesel segment margin decreased by $13 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. Renewable diesel segment margin is primarily affected by the price of the renewable diesel that we sell and the cost of the feedstocks that we process. The table on page 48 reflects market reference prices that we believe had a material impact on the change in our renewable diesel segment margin in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019.

The decrease in renewable diesel segment margin was primarily due to the following:


•	Lower renewable diesel prices had an unfavorable impact of approximately $24 million.


•	An increase in the cost of the feedstocks we process had an unfavorable impact of approximately $14 million.


•	Price risk management activities had a favorable impact of $20 million. We recognized a hedge gain of $19 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to a hedge loss of $1 million in the second quarter of 2019.

The components of the decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.


•	Ethanol segment margin decreased by $82 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019.

Ethanol segment margin is primarily affected by prices of the ethanol and corn related co-products that we sell and the cost of corn that we process. The table on page 48 reflects market reference prices that we believe had a material impact on the change in our ethanol segment margin in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019.

The decrease in ethanol segment margin was primarily due to the following:


◦	Lower ethanol prices had an unfavorable impact of approximately $98 million.

◦

A decrease in production volumes of 2.2 million gallons per day had an unfavorable impact of approximately $80 million. As noted in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update” on pages 40 through 42, as a result of the economic disruption from COVID-19, eight of our ethanol plants were temporarily idled and production was reduced at our remaining six ethanol plants late in the first quarter of 2020 and into the beginning of the second quarter of 2020. However, demand for ethanol began to recover during the latter part of the second quarter of 2020 and, as a result, we have increased production and restarted four of the plants that had been temporarily idled.


◦	Lower corn prices had a favorable impact of approximately $87 million.

(a)

Cost of materials and other for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 includes a benefit of $76 million and $155 million, respectively, related to the blender’s tax credit attributable to volumes blended during those periods. The legislation authorizing the credit through December 31, 2022 was passed and signed into law in December 2019, and that legislation also applied retroactively to volumes blended during 2019 (2019 blender’s tax credit). The entire 2019 blender’s tax credit was recognized by us in December 2019 because the law was enacted in that month, but the benefit attributable to volumes blended during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $72 million and $149 million, respectively.

The above mentioned pre-tax benefits are attributable to our reportable segments and stockholders as follows:



	Periods to which Blender’s Tax Credit is Attributable

(b)

The market value of our inventories accounted for under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method fell below their historical cost on an aggregate basis as of March 31, 2020. As a result, we recorded an LCM inventory valuation adjustment of $2.5 billion in March 2020. The market value of our LIFO inventories improved as of June 30, 2020 due to an increase in market prices, which resulted in a reversal of $2.2 billion of the $2.5 billion LCM adjustment

Table of Contents

recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2020. Consequently, our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflect a net LCM inventory valuation adjustment of $294 million.

Of the $2.2 billion benefit recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2020, $2.1 billion and $111 million is attributable to our refining and ethanol segments, respectively. Of the $294 million adjustment recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2020, $277 million and $17 million is attributable to our refining and ethanol segments, respectively.


(c)	“Other income, net” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 includes a $22 million charge from the early redemption of $850 million of our 6.125 percent Senior Notes due February 1, 2020.


(d)	We use certain financial measures (as noted below) that are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are considered to be non-GAAP measures.

We have defined these non-GAAP measures and believe they are useful to the external users of our financial statements, including industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We believe these measures are useful to assess our ongoing financial performance because, when reconciled to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures, they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance and that may obscure our underlying business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures nor should they be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define them differently, which diminishes their utility.

Non-GAAP measures are as follows:

Revenues decreased by $20.7 billion in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019 primarily due to decreases in refined petroleum product prices associated with sales made by our refining segment. The decrease in revenues, along with the $294 million LCM inventory valuation adjustment in the first six months of 2020, was partially offset by a decrease in cost of materials and other of $19.0 billion primarily due to decreases in crude oil and other feedstock costs, lower operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) of $239 million, and a decrease in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) of $62 million, which resulted in a $1.7 billion decrease in operating income, from $1.2 billion of operating income in the first six months of 2019 to an operating loss of $488 million in the first six months of 2020.

Adjusted operating income decreased by $1.6 billion, from $1.4 billion of operating income in the first six months of 2019 to an operating loss of $189 million in the first six months of 2020. The $1.6 billion decrease includes the $62 million decrease in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) associated with our corporate activities, and this decrease is discussed below. The remaining components of the decrease in adjusted operating income are discussed by segment in the segment analysis that follows.

General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $62 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019 primarily due to lower advertising expenses of $22 million, a decrease in taxes other than income taxes of $16 million, and the effect of expenses incurred in first six months of 2019 associated with the Merger Transaction with VLP of $7 million and environmental reserve adjustments related to certain non-operating sites of $6 million.

Income tax expense decreased $488 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019 primarily as a result of lower income before income tax expense. In addition, the decrease in income tax expense was impacted by an income tax benefit in the first six months of 2020 of $117 million associated with the carryback of an expected tax NOL. Excluding the $117 million benefit attributable to the expected tax carryback NOL, our effective tax rate was 23 percent for the first six months of 2020, which is consistent with the 21 percent effective tax rate for the first six months of 2019.

Table of Contents

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $117 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019 primarily due to higher earnings associated with DGD.

Refining Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our refining segment for the first six months of 2020 and the first six months of 2019. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables on pages 53 and 54, respectively, unless otherwise noted.

Refining segment operating income decreased by $1.9 billion in the first six months of 2020; however, refining segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustments in the table in note (d) on page 58, decreased by $1.6 billion in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019. The components of this decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.


•	Refining segment margin decreased by $1.7 billion in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019.

Refining segment margin is primarily affected by the prices of the refined petroleum products that we sell and the cost of crude oil and other feedstocks that we process. The table on page 55 reflects market reference prices and differentials that we believe had a material impact on the change in our refining segment margin in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019.

The decrease in refining segment margin was primarily due to the following:


◦	A decrease in distillate (primarily diesel) margins had an unfavorable impact of approximately $930 million.


◦	A decrease in gasoline margins had an unfavorable impact of approximately $611 million.

◦

A decrease in throughput volumes of 344,000 barrels per day had an unfavorable impact of $550 million. As noted in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update” on pages 40 through 42, we reduced the amount of crude oil processed at our refineries and limited the production of gasoline and jet fuel at certain of our refineries late in the first quarter of 2020 and into the beginning of the second quarter of 2020. However, demand for most of our products partially recovered during the latter part of the second

Table of Contents

quarter of 2020 and, as a result, we have increased the production of most of our products and restarted the gasoline-making units that had been temporarily idled at certain of our refineries.


◦	Higher margins on other products had a favorable impact of approximately $464 million.


•	Refining segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $174 million primarily due to lower natural gas and electricity costs of $114 million, lower chemical and catalyst costs of $38 million, and lower maintenance expenses of $19 million.


•	Refining segment depreciation and amortization expense associated with our cost of sales increased by $48 million primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense associated with capital projects that were completed and finance leases that commenced in the latter half of 2019 and the first half of 2020.

Renewable Diesel Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our renewable diesel segment for the first six months of 2020 and the first six months of 2019.

Renewable diesel segment operating income increased by $201 million in the first six months of 2020; however, renewable diesel segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustment in the table in note (d) on page 58, increased by $61 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher renewable diesel segment margin.

Renewable diesel segment margin increased by $65 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019. Renewable diesel segment margin is primarily affected by the price of the renewable diesel that we sell and the cost of the feedstocks that we process. The table on page 56 reflects market reference prices that we believe had a material impact on the change in our renewable diesel segment margin in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019.

Table of Contents

The increase in renewable diesel segment margin was primarily due to the following:


•	Price risk management activities had a favorable impact of $72 million. We recognized a hedge gain of $45 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to a hedge loss of $27 million in the first six months of 2019.


•	An increase in sales volumes of 51,000 gallons per day had a favorable impact of $13 million.


•	Lower renewable diesel prices had an unfavorable impact of approximately $23 million.

Ethanol Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our ethanol segment for the first six months of 2020 and the first six months of 2019.

Ethanol segment operating income decreased by $116 million in the first six months of 2020; however, ethanol segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustment in the table in note (d) on page 59, decreased by $100 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019. The components of this decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.


•	Ethanol segment margin decreased by $171 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019.

Ethanol segment margin is primarily affected by prices of the ethanol and corn related co-products that we sell and the cost of corn that we process. The table on page 56 reflects market reference prices that we believe had a material impact on the change in our ethanol segment margin in the first six months of 2020 compared to the first six months of 2019.

The decrease in ethanol segment margin was primarily due to the following:


◦	Lower ethanol prices had an unfavorable impact of approximately $141 million.


◦	A decrease in production volumes of 1.2 million gallons per day had an unfavorable impact of approximately $53 million. As noted in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update” on pages 40 through 42, as a result of the economic disruption

Table of Contents

from COVID-19, eight of our ethanol plants were temporarily idled and production was reduced at our remaining six ethanol plants late in the first quarter of 2020 and into the beginning of the second quarter of 2020. However, demand for ethanol began to recover during the latter part of the second quarter of 2020 and, as a result, we have increased production and restarted four of the plants that had been temporarily idled.


•	Ethanol segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) decreased by $69 million primarily due to lower energy costs of $37 million, lower chemicals and catalyst costs of $16 million, and lower maintenance expenses of $8 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, our liquidity was negatively impacted by the significant economic effects resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic as described in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update.” Even though we generated $687 million of cash from operating activities during the first six months of 2020, the amount of cash generated was negatively impacted by lower earnings and a use of cash to fund working capital, which resulted from the rapid decline in the market prices of refined petroleum products and crude oil that occurred during March and April 2020. The amount of cash generated during that time by our product sales declined more rapidly than the amount of cash used to pay for our crude oil purchases. While this relationship is not abnormal or unusual in our business where daily product sales follow market prices on that day, the negative impact on our cash position is more significant when the market prices decline rapidly. Market prices began recovering in May and June 2020, but they have not recovered to the level prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and the recovery has been gradual.

We have taken a number of actions to address the current economic environment and its impact on our liquidity, most notably the issuance of $1.5 billion in public debt in April 2020, which is described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We have taken other actions to address our liquidity and those actions are described in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK—Overview—Business Operations Update” on pages 40 through 42 and in the discussion of matters impacting our liquidity and capital resources below.

Our Liquidity

Our liquidity consisted of the following as of June 30, 2020 (in millions):



Available borrowing capacity from committed facilities:
Valero Revolver	$	3,967
364-day Revolving Credit Facility	875
Canadian Revolver^(a)	105
Accounts receivable sales facility	726
Letter of credit facility	50
Total available borrowing capacity	5,723
Cash and cash equivalents^(b)	1,972
Total liquidity	$	7,695

_____________________


(a)	The amount for our Canadian Revolver is shown in U.S. dollars. As set forth in the summary of our credit facilities in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the availability under our Canadian Revolver as of June 30, 2020 in Canadian dollars was C$143 million.


(b)	Excludes $347 million of cash and cash equivalents related to our VIEs that is available for use only by our VIEs.

Table of Contents

Information about our outstanding borrowings, letters of credit issued, and availability under our credit facilities is reflected in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2020, we extended the maturity date of our accounts receivable sales facility to July 2021 and decreased the facility amount from $1.3 billion to $1.0 billion. As of July 29, 2020, the amount available to us under this credit facility was $666 million.

We believe that cash provided by operations, along with cash from our public debt offering in April 2020 and available borrowings under our credit facilities, is sufficient to fund our ongoing operating requirements and other commitments. We expect that, to the extent necessary, we can raise additional cash through equity or debt financings in the public and private capital markets or the arrangement of additional credit facilities. However, there can be no assurances regarding the availability of any future financings or additional credit facilities or whether such financings or additional credit facilities can be made available on terms that are acceptable to us.

Cash Flows

Components of our cash flows are set forth below (in millions):

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(264	)	$	(949	)

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

In the first six months of 2020, we used $264 million of our cash on hand, $687 million of cash generated by our operations, and $2.0 billion in borrowings to make $1.3 billion of investments in our business and fund $1.5 billion of other financing activities. The borrowings are described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As previously noted, our operations generated $687 million of cash in the first six months of 2020, which was negatively impacted by an unfavorable change in working capital of $478 million. The change in working capital was affected primarily by a $1.3 billion use of cash^(a) resulting from the rapid decline in market prices of refined petroleum products and crude oil as a result of the negative economic effects of COVID-19 that impacted our receivables and accounts payable, partially offset by a $1.1 billion source of cash driven by a reduction in inventory volumes on hand, which we intend to restore by year end. Details regarding the components of the change in working capital, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are described in Note 13 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, see “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for an analysis of our net loss.

Table of Contents

Investments in our business of $1.3 billion consisted of $1.2 billion in capital investments, as defined below, of which $187 million related to self-funded capital investments by DGD, and $143 million of capital expenditures of VIEs other than DGD.

Other financing activities of $1.5 billion consisted primarily of $801 million in dividends, $432 million of payments of debt and finance lease obligations, $147 million for the purchase of common stock for treasury, and $127 million to pay distributions to noncontrolling interests.

____________________


(a)	Represents the net cash flow change in “receivables, net” of $4.1 billion (which excludes the impact from the collection of $449 million for a blender’s tax credit receivable) and accounts payable of $5.4 billion during the the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

In the first six months of 2019, we used $949 million of cash on hand, $2.4 billion of cash generated by our operations, and $2.0 billion in borrowings to make $1.6 billion of investments in our business and fund $3.8 billion of other financing activities. The borrowings are described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As previously noted, our operations generated $2.4 billion of cash in the first six months of 2019, which was favorably impacted by a positive change in working capital of $413 million. Details regarding the components of the change in working capital, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are described in Note 13 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, see “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for an analysis of our net income.

Investments in our business of $1.6 billion consisted of $1.5 billion in capital investments, as defined below, of which $52 million is related to self-funded capital investments by DGD, and $69 million of capital expenditures of VIEs other than DGD.

Other financing activities of $3.8 billion consisted primarily of $1.8 billion of payments of debt and finance lease obligations, $950 million to acquire all of the outstanding publicly held common units of VLP, $751 million in dividends, and $248 million for the purchase of common stock for treasury.

Capital Investments

Due to the current negative economic environment, we have deferred approximately $400 million of capital investments for 2020 related to our refining and ethanol segments. As a result, we now expect to incur approximately $2.1 billion for capital investments during 2020, but this deferral does not impact our intent to satisfy all required safety, environmental, and regulatory capital commitments. We will continue to evaluate our capital investments as changes to the current economic environment occur.

We consider capital investments to include the following:


•	Capital expenditures for purchases of, additions to, and improvements in our property, plant, and equipment, including those made by DGD but excluding other VIEs;


•	Deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures, including those made by DGD; and


•	Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

Table of Contents

We include DGD’s capital expenditures and deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures in capital investments because we, as operator of DGD, manage its capital projects and expenditures. We do not include the capital expenditures of our other consolidated VIEs in capital investments because we do not operate those VIEs. In addition, we do not include expenditures for acquisitions and acquisitions of undivided interests in capital investments.

Other Matters Impacting Liquidity and Capital Resources

Stock Purchase Program

As of June 30, 2020, we had $1.4 billion available for purchase under our stock purchase program, which has no expiration date. We have not purchased any shares of our common stock under our stock purchase program since mid-March 2020, and we will evaluate the timing of repurchases when appropriate. We have no obligation to make purchases under this program.

Pension Plan Funding

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to extensive environmental regulations by governmental authorities relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, waste management, pollution prevention measures, GHG emissions, and characteristics and composition of gasolines and distillates. Because environmental laws and regulations are becoming more complex and stringent and new environmental laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed, the level of future expenditures required for environmental matters could increase in the future. In addition, any major upgrades in any of our operating facilities could require material additional expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations.

Tax Matters

Under recently passed legislation, such as the CARES Act in the U.S., and existing legislation, we deferred approximately $440 million of income and indirect (e.g., VAT and motor fuel taxes) tax payments due in the first and second quarters of 2020. Approximately 40 percent of the deferred payments will be due in the third quarter of 2020, with the remaining amount due in 2021.

Cash Held by Our International Subsidiaries

As of June 30, 2020, $1.4 billion of our cash and cash equivalents was held by our international subsidiaries. Cash held by our international subsidiaries can be repatriated to us without any U.S. federal income tax consequences as a result of the deemed repatriation provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, but certain other taxes may apply, including, but not limited to, withholding taxes imposed by certain international jurisdictions and U.S. state income taxes. Therefore, there is a cost to repatriate cash held by certain of our international subsidiaries to us, but we believe that such amount is not material to our financial position or liquidity.

Concentration of Customers

Our operations have a concentration of customers in the refining industry and customers who are refined petroleum product wholesalers and retailers. These concentrations of customers may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions including the uncertainties concerning COVID-19 and volatility in the global oil markets. However, we believe that our portfolio of accounts receivable is sufficiently diversified

Table of Contents

to the extent necessary to minimize potential credit risk. Historically, we have not had any significant problems collecting our accounts receivable.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

As of June 30, 2020, our contractual obligations included debt, finance lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations, and other long-term liabilities. In the ordinary course of business, we had lease and debt-related activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as described in Notes 5 and 6, respectively, of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, certain of our purchase obligations, primarily related to crude oil and other feedstock supply arrangements, declined during the first six months of 2020 as a result of the decrease in crude oil and feedstock prices that occurred during the period because of the current economic conditions. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business with respect to our contractual obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Our debt and financing agreements do not have rating agency triggers that would automatically require us to post additional collateral. However, in the event of certain downgrades of our senior unsecured debt by the ratings agencies, the cost of borrowings under some of our bank credit facilities and other arrangements may increase. As of June 30, 2020, all of our ratings on our senior unsecured debt, including debt of one of our wholly owned subsidiaries that is guaranteed by us, are at or above investment grade level as follows:



Rating Agency		Rating
Moody’s Investors Service		Baa2 (stable outlook)
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services		BBB (stable outlook)
Fitch Ratings		BBB (stable outlook)

We cannot provide assurance that these ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or that one or more of these ratings will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency. We note that these credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell, or hold our securities. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Any future reduction below investment grade or withdrawal of one or more of our credit ratings could have a material adverse impact on our ability to obtain short- and long-term financing and the cost of such financings.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our critical accounting estimates are included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, the following accounting policy is included as it involves estimates that are considered critical due to the level of subjectivity and judgment involved, as well as the impact on our financial position and results of operations. We believe that all of our estimates are reasonable. Estimates of the sensitivity to earnings that would result from changes in the assumptions used in determining our estimates are not practicable due to the number of assumptions and contingencies involved, and the wide range of possible outcomes.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. A long-lived asset is not recoverable if its carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If a long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which

Table of Contents

the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value, with fair value determined based on discounted estimated net cash flows or other appropriate methods.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

As of June 30, 2020, we determined there was no impairment of our long-lived assets or goodwill as discussed in Note 2 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

COMMODITY PRICE RISK


•	inventories and firm commitments to purchase inventories generally for amounts by which our current year inventory levels (determined on a LIFO basis) differ from our previous year-end LIFO inventory levels; and


•	forecasted feedstock and refined petroleum product purchases, refined petroleum product sales, renewable diesel sales, or natural gas purchases to lock in the price of those forecasted transactions at existing market prices that we deem favorable.

Our positions in commodity derivative instruments are monitored and managed on a daily basis by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy that has been approved by our board of directors.

The following sensitivity analysis includes all of our derivative instruments entered into for purposes other than trading with which we have market risk (in millions):



	June 30, 2020			December 31, 2019
Gain (loss) in fair value resulting from:
10% increase in underlying commodity prices	$	68		$	(39	)
10% decrease in underlying commodity prices	(68		)	38

See Note 15 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for notional volumes associated with these derivative contracts as of June 30, 2020.

COMPLIANCE PROGRAM PRICE RISK

We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. To manage this risk, we enter into contracts to purchase these credits when prices are deemed favorable. Some of these contracts are derivative instruments; however, we elect the normal purchase exception and do not record these contracts at their fair values. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the amount of gain or loss in the fair value of derivative instruments that would have resulted from a 10 percent increase or decrease in the underlying price of the contracts was not material. See Note 15 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion about these compliance programs.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The following table provides information about our debt instruments (dollars in millions), the fair values of which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates are presented.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information below describes new proceedings or material developments in proceedings that we previously reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.

Environmental Enforcement Matters

While it is not possible to predict the outcome of the following environmental proceedings, if any one or more of them were decided against us, we believe that there would be no material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. We are reporting these proceedings to comply with SEC regulations, which require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state, or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or protecting the environment if we reasonably believe that such proceedings will result in monetary sanctions of $100,000 or more.

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) (Corpus Christi West Refinery). On June 15, 2020, we received a Notice of Enforcement (NOE) from the TCEQ related to a Title V deviation report investigation at our Corpus Christ West Refinery. We reasonably believe that penalties associated with this NOE could exceed $100,000. We are working with the TCEQ to resolve this matter.


ITEM 1A.	RISK FACTORS

There have been no changes from the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year December 31, 2019, as supplemented by the risk factor included in our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 13, 2020. However, to the extent COVID-19 adversely affects our business, financial condition, results of operation, and liquidity, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in such risk factors.
