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. The term “DGD,” as used in this report, may refer to Diamond Green Diesel Holdings LLC, its wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, or both 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 GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of our results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 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, 2021.

Significant Accounting Policy

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, our results were favorably impacted by the effect from the ongoing recovery in the worldwide demand for petroleum-based transportation fuels while the worldwide supply of those products was constrained. This supply and demand imbalance has contributed to increases in the market prices of the petroleum-based transportation fuels that we produce (as well as crude oil and other feedstocks that are processed to make these products) and in refining margins. Factors contributing to the supply and demand imbalance and the associated volatility in market prices, among others, are the loss of refining capacity resulting from refinery closures and the transition of refineries to renewable fuel production, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Russia-Ukraine conflict, which began in February 2022, has exacerbated the fuel supply imbalance as a result of changes in trade flows of crude oil and petroleum-based products as countries and private market participants responded to the conflict by taking actions to refrain from purchasing and transporting Russian crude oil and petroleum-based products.

Many uncertainties remain with respect to the supply and demand imbalance and the resulting volatility in market prices for petroleum-based transportation fuels (including the potential negative impacts on the demand for those products due to the continued volatility in market prices), the current inflationary environment, and the possible responses from governmental authorities to new variants of the COVID-19 virus that could negatively affect the demand and market prices for our products and the worldwide economy. Developments with respect to the uncertainties described above are occurring at a rapid pace and cannot be predicted. Their overall economic impact and resulting impact on us also cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following (in millions):


	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Refinery feedstocks	$	1,888	$	1,995
Refined petroleum products and blendstocks	4,328		3,567
Renewable diesel feedstocks and products	319		135
Ethanol feedstocks and products	315		273
Materials and supplies	297		295


Inventories	$	7,147	$	6,265

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the replacement cost (market value) of last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventories exceeded their LIFO carrying amounts by $9.7 billion and $5.2 billion, respectively. Our non-LIFO inventories accounted for $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion of our total inventories as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

4. PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT

In June 2022, we sold our ethanol plant in Jefferson, Wisconsin for $32 million, which resulted in a gain of $23 million that is included in depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Jefferson plant was temporarily idled in 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in response to the decreased demand for ethanol resulting from the effects of the pandemic on our business, and we had previously evaluated this plant for potential impairment assuming that operations would resume. However, we completed an evaluation of the plant during the third quarter of 2021 and concluded that it was no longer a strategic asset for our ethanol business. The plant’s operations permanently ceased at that time.

5. DEBT

Public Debt

In June 2022, we reduced our debt through the acquisition of the $300 million of 4.00 percent Gulf Opportunity Zone Revenue Bonds Series 2010 (GO Zone Bonds) that are due December 1, 2040, but were subject to mandatory tender on June 1, 2022. We have the option to effectuate a remarketing of these bonds.

In February 2022, we issued $650 million of 4.000 percent Senior Notes due June 1, 2052. Proceeds from this debt issuance totaled $639 million before deducting the underwriting discount and other debt issuance costs. The proceeds and cash on hand were used to repurchase and retire the following notes in connection with cash tender offers that we publicly announced and completed in February 2022 (in millions):


Debt Repurchased and Retired	Principal Amount
3.65% Senior Notes due 2025	$	72
2.850% Senior Notes due 2025	507
4.375% VLP Senior Notes due 2026	168
3.400% Senior Notes due 2026	653
Total	$	1,400

In connection with the early debt retirement activity described above, we recognized a charge of $50 million in “other income, net” primarily comprised of $48 million of premiums paid.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, there was no issuance or redemption activity related to our public debt.

7. 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, 2022, the significant consolidated VIEs included:

•DGD, a joint venture with a subsidiary of Darling Ingredients Inc. that owns and operates a plant that processes waste and renewable feedstocks (predominately animal fats, used cooking oils, and inedible distillers corn oils) into renewable diesel; and

•Central Mexico Terminals, a collective group of three subsidiaries of Infraestructura Energetica Nova, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (IEnova), which is a Mexican company and indirect 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 assets of the consolidated VIEs can only be used to settle their own obligations and the creditors of the consolidated VIEs have no recourse to our other assets. We generally do not provide financial guarantees to the VIEs. Although we have provided credit facilities to some of the 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 the performance of the consolidated VIEs, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in each VIE.

The following tables present summarized balance sheet information for the significant assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs, which are included in our balance sheets (in millions):

Nonconsolidated VIEs

We hold variable interests in VIEs that have not been consolidated because we are not considered the primary beneficiary. These nonconsolidated VIEs are not material to our financial position or results of operations and are accounted for as equity investments.

On April 19, 2021, we sold a 24.99 percent membership interest in MVP Terminalling, LLC (MVP), a nonconsolidated joint venture with a subsidiary of Magellan Midstream Partners, L. P., for $270 million that resulted in a gain of $62 million, which is included in “other income, net” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. MVP owns and operates a marine terminal located on the Houston Ship Channel in Pasadena, Texas. We retained a 25.01 percent membership interest in MVP.

9. INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Expense

There was no significant variation in the customary relationship between income tax expense and income before income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, certain statutory income tax rate changes (primarily an increase in the United Kingdom (U.K.) rate from 19 percent to 25 percent effective in 2023) were enacted that resulted in the remeasurement of our deferred tax liabilities. We recognized deferred income tax expense of $64 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, which represented the net increase in our deferred tax liabilities resulting from the changes in the income tax rates.

Tax Returns Under Audit

We expect to complete the appeals process for certain U.S. federal income tax audits within the next 12 months. We do not expect to have a significant change to our liability for unrecognized tax benefits upon the settlement of our ongoing audits, and we believe that the ultimate settlement of our audits will not be material to our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.

11. REVENUES AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue is presented in the table below under “Segment Information” disaggregated by product because this is the level of disaggregation that management has determined to be beneficial to users of our financial statements.

Contract Balances

Contract balances were as follows (in millions):


	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Receivables from contracts with customers, included in receivables, net	$	9,399	$	6,228
Contract liabilities, included in accrued expenses	109		78

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized as revenue $72 million and $40 million that was included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue recognized related to contract liabilities during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was not material.

Remaining Performance Obligations

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, 2022, 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 petroleum refineries, the associated activities to market our refined petroleum products, and the 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.

Table of Contents

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

•The Renewable Diesel segment represents the operations of DGD, a consolidated joint venture as discussed in Note 7, and the associated activities to market renewable diesel. 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 ethanol plants and the associated activities to market our ethanol and co-products. 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.

12. 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,
	2022		2021
Increase in current assets:
Receivables, net	$	(4,163)	$	(3,069)
Inventories	(1,056)		(47)

Prepaid expenses and other	(108)		(103)
Increase (decrease) in current liabilities:
Accounts payable	4,240		3,979
Accrued expenses	(126)		284
Taxes other than income taxes payable	133		162
Income taxes payable	952		45
Changes in current assets and current liabilities	$	(128)	$	1,251

Changes in current assets and current liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily due to the following:

•The increase in receivables was due to an increase in refined petroleum product prices in June 2022 compared to December 2021, partially offset by a decrease in sales volumes;

•The increase in inventories was due to an increase in inventory volumes with higher inventory unit prices in June 2022 compared to December 2021;

•The increase in accounts payable was due to an increase in crude oil and other feedstock prices in June 2022 compared to December 2021, partially offset by a decrease in crude oil and other feedstock volumes purchased; and

•The increase in income taxes payable was primarily due to higher income before income tax expense in the second quarter of 2022.

Changes in current assets and current liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were primarily due to the following:

•The increase in receivables was primarily due to an increase in refined petroleum product prices in June 2021 compared to December 2020 combined with an increase in sales volumes, partially offset by a decrease in income taxes receivable associated with the receipt of a $962 million refund related to our U.S. federal income tax return for 2020; and

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 14. 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.

•Foreign currency contracts consist of foreign currency exchange and purchase contracts and foreign currency swap agreements related to our foreign 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.

•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.

•Blending program obligations represent our liability for the purchase of compliance credits needed to satisfy our blending obligations under various governmental and regulatory blending programs, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and similar programs in other jurisdictions in which we operate (collectively, the Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Blending Programs). The blending program 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.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

There were no assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Other Financial Instruments

Financial instruments that we recognize in our balance sheets at their carrying amounts are shown in the following table along with their associated fair values (in millions):

14. 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 the Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Blending 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 13), 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 feedstocks (primarily crude oil, waste and renewable feedstocks, and corn), the products we produce, 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.

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 purchases and/or product 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 product inventories and (ii) lock in the price of forecasted purchases and/or product sales at existing market prices that we deem favorable.

As of June 30, 2022, 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	155,075	255
Futures – short	206,335	4,345
Physical contracts – long	49,624	4,093

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on transactions related to our foreign 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 often 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, 2022, we had foreign currency contracts to purchase $974 million of U.S. dollars and $1.2 billion of U.S. dollar equivalent Canadian dollars. Of these commitments, $1.8 billion matured on or before July 27, 2022 and the remaining $370 million will mature by August 4, 2022.

Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Blending Programs Price Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with the Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Blending Programs. To manage this risk, we enter into contracts to purchase these credits. Some of these contracts are derivative instruments; however, we elect the normal purchase exception and do not record these contracts at their fair values. The Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Blending Programs require us to blend a certain volume of renewable and low-carbon fuels into the petroleum-based transportation fuels we produce in, or import into, the respective jurisdiction to be consumed therein based on annual quotas. To the degree we are unable to blend at the required quotas, we must purchase compliance credits (primarily renewable identification numbers (RINs)). The cost of meeting our credit obligations under the Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Blending Programs was $221 million and $680 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and

Table of Contents

$523 million and $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These amounts are reflected in cost of materials and other.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

The following tables provide information about the fair values of our derivative instruments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in millions) and the line items in the balance sheets in which the fair values are reflected. See Note 13 for additional information related to the fair values of our derivative instruments.

As indicated in Note 13, 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:

Foreign currency contracts	Accrued expenses	—		24		—		10
Total		$	1,121	$	1,296	$	524	$	461

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. Market risks are monitored by our risk control group to ensure compliance with our stated risk management policy. We do not require any collateral or other security to support derivative instruments into which we enter. We also do not have any derivative instruments that require us to maintain a minimum investment-grade credit rating.

For cash flow hedges, no component of any derivative instrument’s gains or losses was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, cash flow hedges primarily related to forward sales of renewable diesel. The estimated deferred after-tax gain that is expected to be reclassified into revenues within the next 12 months as a result of the hedged transactions that are forecasted to occur as of June 30, 2022 was immaterial. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive 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, 2022 and 2021 are described in Note 6.

The following table provides information about the gain (loss) recognized in income on our derivative instruments with respect to our economic hedges and our foreign currency hedges and the line items in the statements of income in which such gains (losses) are reflected (in millions):

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The discussions in “OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK,” “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS,” and “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” below include references to financial measures that are not defined under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted operating income (loss) (including adjusted operating income (loss) for each of our reportable segments, as applicable); Refining, Renewable Diesel, and Ethanol segment margin; and capital investments attributable to Valero. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures to help facilitate the comparison of operating results between periods, to help assess our cash flows, and because we believe they provide useful information as discussed further below. See the tables in note (g) beginning on page 55 for reconciliations of adjusted operating income (loss) (including adjusted operating income (loss) for each of our reportable segments, as applicable) and Refining, Renewable Diesel, and Ethanol segment margin to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Also in note (g), we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of such non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information. See the table on page 61 for a reconciliation of capital investments attributable to Valero to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Beginning on page 60, we disclose the reasons why we believe our use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Overview

Business Operations Update

Our results for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 were favorably impacted by the effect from the ongoing recovery in the worldwide demand for petroleum-based transportation fuels while the worldwide supply of those products remained constrained. This supply and demand imbalance has contributed to increases in the market prices of petroleum-based transportation fuels (as well as crude oil and other feedstocks that are processed to make these products) and in refining margins. Supply has remained constrained for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, effects from refinery closures and disruptions in the crude oil and petroleum-based products markets resulting from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Refineries closed over the last two years and other refineries ceased crude oil processing and are being transitioned to renewable fuel production. In addition, these negative impacts to the supply of petroleum-based products have been exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict as a result of countries and private market participants responding to the conflict by taking actions to refrain from purchasing and transporting Russian crude oil and petroleum-based products.

The strong demand for our products and the increase in refining margins were the primary contributors to us reporting $4.7 billion of net income attributable to Valero stockholders for the second quarter of 2022 and $5.6 billion of net income attributable to Valero stockholders for the first six months of 2022. Our operating results, including operating results by segment, are described in the following summary under “Second Quarter Results” and “First Six Months Results.” Detailed descriptions can be found under “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.”

Our operations generated $6.4 billion of cash during the first six months of 2022. This cash was used to make $1.5 billion of capital investments in our business and return $2.7 billion to our stockholders through dividend payments and the purchase of common stock for treasury. In addition, we completed various debt reduction and refinancing transactions that reduced our debt by $1.05 billion during the first six months of 2022. As a result of this and other activity, our cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.3 billion, from $4.1 billion as of December 31, 2021 to $5.4 billion as of June 30, 2022. We had $9.8 billion in liquidity as of June 30, 2022. The components of our liquidity and descriptions of our cash flows, capital investments, and other matters impacting our liquidity and capital resources, can be found under “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.”

Second Quarter Results

For the second quarter of 2022, we reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $4.7 billion compared to $162 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase of $4.5 billion was primarily due to higher operating income of $5.7 billion, partially offset by higher income tax expense of $1.2 billion. The details of our operating income and adjusted operating income by segment and in total are reflected on the following page. Adjusted operating income excludes the adjustments reflected in the tables in note (g).

Table of Contents


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		Change
Refining segment:
Operating income	$	6,212	$	349	$	5,863
Adjusted operating income	6,122		442		5,680
Renewable Diesel segment:
Operating income	152		248		(96)

Ethanol segment:
Operating income	101		99		2

Total company:
Operating income	6,219		509		5,710
Adjusted operating income	6,127		602		5,525

While our operating income increased by $5.7 billion in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, adjusted operating income increased by $5.5 billion primarily due to the following:

•Refining segment. Refining segment adjusted operating income increased by $5.7 billion primarily due to higher gasoline and distillate (primarily diesel) margins and higher throughput volumes, partially offset by higher operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) and lower margins on other products.

•Renewable Diesel segment. Renewable Diesel segment operating income decreased by $96 million primarily due to higher feedstock costs, an unfavorable impact from commodity derivative instruments associated with our price risk management activities, and higher operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), partially offset by higher sales volumes and higher renewable diesel prices.

•Ethanol segment. Ethanol segment adjusted operating income decreased by $20 million primarily due to higher corn prices, lower production volumes, and higher operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), partially offset by higher ethanol and corn related co-product prices.

First Six Months Results

For the first six months of 2022, we reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $5.6 billion compared to a net loss attributable to Valero stockholders of $542 million for the first six months of 2021. The increase of $6.1 billion was primarily due to higher operating income of $7.8 billion, partially offset by higher income tax expense of $1.6 billion. The details of our operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss) by segment and in total are reflected on the following page. Adjusted operating income (loss) excludes the adjustments reflected in the tables in note (g).

While our operating income increased by $7.8 billion in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021, adjusted operating income increased by $7.5 billion primarily due to the following:

•Refining segment. Refining segment adjusted operating income increased by $7.6 billion primarily due to higher gasoline and distillate (primarily diesel) margins and higher throughput volumes, partially offset by lower margins on other products.

•Renewable Diesel segment. Renewable Diesel segment operating income decreased by $150 million primarily due to higher feedstock costs, an unfavorable impact from commodity derivative instruments associated with our price risk management activities, and higher operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), partially offset by higher sales volumes and higher renewable diesel prices.

•Ethanol segment. Ethanol segment adjusted operating income increased by $38 million primarily due to higher ethanol and corn related co-product prices, partially offset by higher corn prices and higher operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense).

Outlook

Many uncertainties remain with respect to the supply and demand imbalance in the petroleum-based products market worldwide, and while it is difficult to predict the ultimate economic impacts this may have on us, we have noted several factors below that have impacted or may impact our results of operations during the third quarter of 2022.

•Gasoline and diesel demand has returned to near pre-pandemic levels and is expected to follow typical seasonal patterns. Jet fuel demand continues to improve slowly but remains below pre-pandemic levels.

•Light product (primarily gasoline and diesel) inventories in the U.S. are below historical levels and should support continued high utilization of refining capacity.

•Crude oil discounts are expected to remain near current levels absent changes in crude oil supply or availability.

•Renewable diesel margins are expected to remain consistent with current levels.

•Ethanol demand is expected to follow typical seasonal patterns.

Revenues increased by $23.9 billion in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to increases in the product prices of the petroleum-based transportation fuels associated with sales made by our Refining segment. This increase in revenues was partially offset by an increase in cost of sales of $18.1 billion, which was primarily due to increases in crude oil and other feedstock costs, and an increase in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) of $57 million, which was primarily due to an increase of $26 million in certain employee compensation expenses and a charge of $20 million for an environmental reserve adjustment (see note (d)). These changes resulted in a $5.7 billion increase in operating income, from $509 million in the second quarter of 2021 to $6.2 billion in the second quarter of 2022.

Adjusted operating income increased by $5.5 billion, from $602 million in the second quarter of 2021 to $6.1 billion in the second quarter of 2022. The components of this $5.5 billion increase in adjusted operating income are discussed by segment in the segment analyses that follow.

Table of Contents

“Other income, net” decreased by $69 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to the effect of the gain of $62 million in the second quarter of 2021 on the sale of a 24.99 percent membership interest in MVP, partially offset by an asset impairment loss of $24 million in the second quarter of 2021 resulting from the cancellation of a pipeline extension project by our nonconsolidated joint venture, Diamond Pipeline LLC. These items are more fully described in note (e).

Income tax expense increased by $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily as a result of higher income before income tax expense.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased by $55 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to lower earnings associated with DGD. See Note 7 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding our accounting for DGD.

Refining Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our Refining segment for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables, unless otherwise noted.

Refining segment operating income increased by $5.9 billion in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021; however, Refining segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustments in the table in note (g), increased by $5.7 billion in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. The components of this increase in the adjusted results, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.

•Refining segment margin increased by $6.0 billion in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Refining segment margin is primarily affected by the prices of the petroleum-based transportation fuels that we sell and the cost of crude oil and other feedstocks that we process. The table on page 41 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 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Table of Contents

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

◦An increase in distillate (primarily diesel) margins had a favorable impact of approximately $4.0 billion.

◦An increase in gasoline margins had a favorable impact of approximately $2.1 billion.

◦An increase in throughput volumes of 127,000 barrels per day had a favorable impact of approximately $347 million.

◦Lower margins on other products had an unfavorable impact of approximately $265 million.

•Refining segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased by $338 million primarily due to higher energy costs of $210 million, higher chemical and catalyst costs of $21 million, higher maintenance expense of $18 million, and an increase in certain employee compensation expenses of $16 million.

Renewable Diesel Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our Renewable Diesel segment for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables, unless otherwise noted.

The table on page 42 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 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Table of Contents

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

◦An increase in the cost of the feedstocks that we process had an unfavorable impact of approximately $563 million.

◦Price risk management activities had an unfavorable impact of approximately $172 million. We recognized a hedge loss of $183 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to a hedge loss of $11 million in the second quarter of 2021.

◦An increase in sales volumes of 1.3 million gallons per day had a favorable impact of approximately $493 million. The increase in sales volumes was primarily due to the additional production capacity resulting from the expansion of DGD’s existing renewable diesel plant (the DGD Plant) that commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2021.

◦Higher renewable diesel prices had a favorable impact of approximately $186 million.

•Renewable Diesel segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased by $27 million primarily due to increased costs resulting from the expansion of the DGD Plant that commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2021.

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

Table of Contents

•Ethanol segment margin increased by $28 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021.

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 42 reflects market reference prices that we believe had a material impact on the change in our Ethanol segment margin in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021.

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

◦Higher ethanol prices had a favorable impact of approximately $133 million.

◦Higher prices for the co-products that we produce, primarily dry distillers grains (DDGs) and inedible distillers corn oil (DCO), had a favorable impact of approximately $75 million.

◦Higher corn prices had an unfavorable impact of approximately $155 million.

◦A decrease in production volumes of 342,000 gallons per day had an unfavorable impact of approximately $25 million.

•Ethanol segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased by $48 million primarily due to higher energy costs.

Revenues increased by $41.6 billion in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021 primarily due to increases in the product prices of the refined petroleum-based transportation fuels associated with sales made by our Refining segment. This increase in revenues was partially offset by an increase in cost of sales of $33.8 billion, which was primarily due to increases in crude oil and other feedstock costs, and an increase in general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) of $54 million, which was primarily due to an increase of $34 million in certain employee compensation expenses and a charge of $20 million for an environmental reserve adjustment (see note (d)). These changes resulted in a $7.8 billion increase in operating income, from an operating loss of $157 million in the first six months of 2021 to operating income of $7.6 billion in the first six months of 2022.

Adjusted operating income increased by $7.5 billion, from $54 million in the first six months of 2021 to $7.5 billion in the first six months of 2022. The components of this $7.5 billion increase in adjusted operating income are discussed by segment in the segment analyses that follow.

“Other income, net” decreased by $134 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021 primarily due to a charge of $50 million in the first six months of 2022 from the early retirement of debt and the effect of the gain of $62 million in the first six months of 2021 on the sale of a 24.99 percent membership interest in MVP, partially offset by an asset impairment loss of $24 million in the first six months of 2021 resulting from the cancellation of a pipeline extension project by our nonconsolidated joint venture, Diamond Pipeline LLC. These items are more fully described in note (e).

Income tax expense increased by $1.6 billion in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021 primarily as a result of higher income before income tax expense.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased by $75 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021 primarily due to lower 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 2022 and 2021. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables, unless otherwise noted.


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		Change
Operating income (loss)	$	7,663	$	(243)	$	7,906
Adjusted operating income (loss) (see note (g))	7,591		(32)		7,623

Refining margin (see note (g))	$	11,300	$	3,580	$	7,720

Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense reflected below) (see note (b))	2,595		2,535		60

Depreciation and amortization expense	1,114		1,077		37

Throughput volumes (thousand barrels per day) (see note (h))	2,881		2,624		257

Refining segment operating income increased by $7.9 billion in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021; however, Refining segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustments in the table in note (g), increased by $7.6 billion in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021. This increase in the adjusted results was primarily due to higher Refining segment margin.

Refining segment margin increased by $7.7 billion in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021. Refining segment margin is primarily affected by the prices of the petroleum-based transportation fuels that we sell and the cost of crude oil and other feedstocks that we process. The table on page 49 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 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021.

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

•An increase in distillate (primarily diesel) margins had a favorable impact of approximately $4.9 billion.

Table of Contents

•An increase in gasoline margins had a favorable impact of approximately $2.2 billion.

•An increase in throughput volumes of 257,000 barrels per day had a favorable impact of approximately $1.0 billion.

•Lower margins on other products had an unfavorable impact of approximately $463 million.

Renewable Diesel Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our Renewable Diesel segment for the first six months of 2022 and 2021. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables, unless otherwise noted.


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		Change
Operating income	$	301	$	451	$	(150)


Renewable Diesel margin (see note (g))	$	464	$	535	$	(71)

Depreciation and amortization expense	54		24		30

Sales volumes (thousand gallons per day) (see note (h))	1,961		895		1,066

Renewable Diesel segment operating income decreased by $150 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021. The components of this decrease, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.

•Renewable Diesel segment margin decreased by $71 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021. 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 50 reflects market reference prices that we believe had a material impact on the change in our Renewable Diesel segment margin in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021.

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

◦An increase in the cost of the feedstocks that we process had an unfavorable impact of approximately $968 million.

◦Price risk management activities had an unfavorable impact of $268 million. We recognized a hedge loss of $302 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to a hedge loss of $34 million in the first six months of 2021.

◦An increase in sales volumes of 1.1 million gallons per day had a favorable impact of approximately $780 million. The increase in sales volumes was primarily due to the additional production capacity resulting from the expansion of the DGD Plant that commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Table of Contents

◦Higher Renewable Diesel prices had a favorable impact of approximately $369 million.

•Renewable Diesel segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased by $49 million primarily due to increased costs resulting from the expansion of the DGD Plant that commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2021.

•Renewable Diesel segment depreciation and amortization expense increased by $30 million primarily due to depreciation expense associated with the expansion of the DGD Plant that commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Ethanol Segment Results

The following table includes selected financial and operating data of our Ethanol segment for the first six months of 2022 and 2021. The selected financial data is derived from the Financial Highlights by Segment and Total Company tables, unless otherwise noted.


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		Change
Operating income	$	102	$	43	$	59
Adjusted operating income (see note (g))	81		43		38

Ethanol margin (see note (g))	$	423	$	359	$	64
Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense reflected below) (see note (b))	302		275		27
Depreciation and amortization expense (see note (c))	17		41		(24)

Production volumes (thousand gallons per day) (see note (h))	3,953		3,884		69

The Ethanol segment operating income increased by $59 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021; however, Ethanol segment adjusted operating income, which excludes the adjustments in the table in note (g), increased by $38 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021. The components of this increase in the adjusted results, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are outlined below.

•Ethanol segment margin increased by $64 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021.

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 50 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 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021.

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

◦Higher ethanol prices had a favorable impact of approximately $287 million.

◦Higher prices for the co-products that we produce, primarily DDGs and inedible DCO, had a favorable impact of approximately $85 million.

Table of Contents

◦Higher corn prices had an unfavorable impact of approximately $319 million.

•Ethanol segment operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) increased by $27 million primarily due to higher chemical and catalyst costs of $12 million and higher energy costs of $10 million.

________________________

The following notes relate to references on pages 35 through 53.

(a)Under the RFS program, the EPA is required to set annual quotas for the volume of renewable fuels that obligated parties, such as us, must blend into petroleum-based transportation fuels consumed in the U.S. The quotas are used to determine an obligated party’s renewable volume obligation (RVO). The EPA released a final rule on June 3, 2022 that, among other things, reduced the quotas for 2020 and, for the first time, established quotas for 2021 and 2022.

In 2020, we recognized the cost of the RVO using the 2020 quotas set by the EPA at that time, and in 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized the cost of the RVO using our estimates of the quotas. As a result of the final rule released by the EPA on June 3, 2022 as noted above, we recognized a benefit of $104 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to the modification of the 2020 quotas. The impacts to the estimated cost of the RVO recognized by us in 2021 and the three months ended March 31, 2022 were not significant; however, there were impacts in the 2021 quarterly periods as follows: (i) benefit of $80 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021; (ii) benefit of $81 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021; (iii) benefit of $58 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021; and (iv) charge of $220 million related to the three months ended December 31, 2021.

(b)In mid-February 2021, many of our refineries and plants were impacted to varying extents by the severe cold, utility disruptions, and higher energy costs arising out of Winter Storm Uri. The higher energy costs resulted from an increase in the prices of natural gas and electricity that significantly exceeded rates that we consider normal, such as the average rates we incurred the month preceding the storm. As a result, our operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 includes estimated excess energy costs of $579 million.

The above-mentioned pre-tax estimated excess energy charge is reflected in our statement of income line items and attributable to our reportable segments as follows (in millions):


	Refining		Renewable Diesel		Ethanol		Total
Cost of materials and other	$	47	$	—	$	—	$	47
Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense)	478		—		54		532
Total estimated excess energy costs	$	525	$	—	$	54	$	579

(c)In June 2022, we sold our ethanol plant located in Jefferson, Wisconsin, which ceased operations and was written down to estimated salvage value in 2021, for $32 million. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 includes a gain on the sale of $23 million.

(d)General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 includes a charge of $20 million for an environmental reserve adjustment associated with a non-operating site.

(e)“Other income, net” includes the following:

◦a charge of $50 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 from the early retirement of approximately $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of various series of our senior notes;

Table of Contents

◦a gain of $62 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 on the sale of a 24.99 percent membership interest in MVP for $270 million; and

◦a charge of $24 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 representing our portion of the asset impairment loss recognized by Diamond Pipeline LLC, a nonconsolidated joint venture with a subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., resulting from the joint venture’s cancellation of its pipeline extension project.

(f)Certain statutory income tax rate changes (primarily an increase in the U.K. rate from 19 percent to 25 percent effective in 2023) were enacted during the second quarter of 2021 that resulted in the remeasurement of our deferred tax liabilities. Under GAAP, we are required to recognize the effect of a change in tax law in the period of enactment. As a result, we recognized deferred income tax expense of $64 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, which represented the net increase in our deferred tax liabilities resulting from the changes in the income tax rates.

(g)We use certain financial measures (as noted below) that are not defined under 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 GAAP measures, they provide improved comparability between periods after adjusting for 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 GAAP measures nor should they be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported under 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:

◦Refining margin is defined as Refining segment operating income (loss) excluding the modification of RVO adjustment (as defined in note (a)), operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating expenses, as reflected in the table below.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

During the first six months of 2022, our liquidity was favorably impacted by the cash generated by our operations, which was partially used to complete various debt reduction and refinancing transactions that reduced our debt by $1.05 billion, as described in Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Overall, our liquidity increased by $495 million during the first six months of 2022, from $9.3 billion as of December 31, 2021 to $9.8 billion as of June 30, 2022.

Our Liquidity

Our liquidity consisted of the following as of June 30, 2022 (in millions):


Available capacity from our committed facilities (a):
Valero Revolver	$	3,088
Canadian Revolver (b)	113
Accounts receivable sales facility	1,300
Letter of credit facility	50
Total available capacity	4,551
Cash and cash equivalents (c)	5,207
Total liquidity	$	9,758

________________________

(a)Excludes the committed facilities of the consolidated VIEs.

(b)The amount for our Canadian Revolver is shown in U.S. dollars. As set forth in the summary of our credit facilities in Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the availability under our Canadian Revolver as of June 30, 2022 in Canadian dollars was C$145 million.

(c)Excludes $185 million of cash and cash equivalents related to the consolidated VIEs that is available for use only by the VIEs.

Information about our outstanding borrowings, letters of credit issued, and availability under our credit facilities is reflected in Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

We believe we have sufficient funds from operations and from available capacity under our credit facilities to fund our ongoing operating requirements and other commitments over the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. 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 for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

In the first six months of 2022, we used $6.4 billion of cash generated by our operations and $1.8 billion in debt issuances and borrowings to make $1.5 billion of investments in our business, repay $3.0 billion of debt and finance lease obligations (including premiums paid on the early retirement of debt), fund $2.5 billion of other financing activities, and increase our available cash on hand by $1.3 billion. The debt issuance, borrowings, and repayments are described in Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As previously noted, our operations generated $6.4 billion of cash in the first six months of 2022, driven primarily by net income of $5.7 billion and noncash charges to income of $826 million, partially offset by an unfavorable change in working capital of $128 million. Noncash charges primarily included $1.2 billion of depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a $333 million deferred income tax benefit. Details regarding the components of the change in working capital, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are described in Note 12 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, see “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for an analysis of the significant components of our net income.

Our investing activities primarily consisted of $1.5 billion in capital investments, as defined below under “Capital Investments,” of which $471 million related to capital investments by DGD and $19 million related to capital expenditures of VIEs other than DGD.

Other financing activities of $2.5 billion consisted primarily of $1.9 billion for the purchase of common stock for treasury and $800 million in dividend payments, partially offset by $240 million in contributions from the other joint venture member in DGD.

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

In the first six months of 2021, we used $2.0 billion of our cash generated by our operations to make $836 million of investments in our business, repay $66 million of debt and finance lease obligations, fund $816 million of other financing activities, and increase our available cash on hand by $259 million.

Table of Contents

As previously noted, our operations generated $2.0 billion of cash in the first six months of 2021, driven primarily by a positive change in working capital of $1.3 billion and noncash charges to income of $1.0 billion, partially offset by increased energy costs at certain of our refineries and ethanol plants due to effects arising out of Winter Storm Uri. See note (b) on page 54 regarding the effects of Winter Storm Uri. Noncash charges primarily included $1.2 billion of depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a $136 million deferred income tax benefit and a $62 million gain on the sale of a partial interest in MVP, as described in Note 7 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Details regarding the components of the change in working capital, along with the reasons for the changes in those components, are described in Note 12 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, see “RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” for an analysis of the significant components of our net loss.

Our investing activities of $836 million consisted of $1.1 billion in capital investments, of which $399 million related to capital investments by DGD and $35 million related to capital expenditures of VIEs other than DGD. These activities were partially offset by $270 million received from the sale of a partial interest in MVP, as described in Note 7 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other financing activities of $816 million consisted primarily of $801 million in dividend payments and $15 million for the purchase of common stock for treasury.

Our Capital Resources

Our material cash requirements as of June 30, 2022 primarily consisted of working capital requirements, capital investments, contractual obligations, and other matters, as described below. Our operations have historically generated positive cash flows to fulfill our working capital requirements.

Capital Investments

Capital investments are comprised of our capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures, and investments in nonconsolidated joint ventures, as reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows as shown on page 6. Capital investments exclude strategic investments or acquisitions, if any.

We have publicly announced GHG emissions reduction/offset targets for 2025 and 2035. We believe that our expected allocation of growth capital into lower-carbon projects is consistent with such targets. Certain of these lower-carbon projects have been completed or are already in execution and the associated capital investments are included in our expected capital investments for 2022 discussed below. Our capital investments in future years to achieve these targets are expected to include investments associated with certain lower-carbon projects currently at various stages of progress, evaluation, or approval.

Capital Investments Attributable to Valero

Capital investments attributable to Valero is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects our net share of capital investments and is defined as all capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst cost expenditures, and investments in nonconsolidated joint ventures, excluding the portion of DGD’s capital investments attributable to the other joint venture member and all of the capital expenditures of other consolidated VIEs.

We are a 50 percent joint venture member in DGD and consolidate its financial statements. As a result, all of DGD’s net cash provided by operating activities (or operating cash flow) is included in our consolidated net cash provided by operating activities. DGD’s members use DGD’s operating cash flow (excluding changes in its current assets and current liabilities) to fund its capital investments rather than

Table of Contents

distribute all of that cash to themselves. Because DGD’s operating cash flow is effectively attributable to each member, only 50 percent of DGD’s capital investments should be attributed to our net share of capital investments. We also exclude all of the capital expenditures of other VIEs that we consolidate because we do not operate those VIEs. See Note 7 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the VIEs that we consolidate. We believe capital investments attributable to Valero is an important measure because it more accurately reflects our capital investments.

Capital investments attributable to Valero should not be considered as an alternative to capital investments, which is the most comparable GAAP measure, nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our cash flows as reported under GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies because we may define it differently, which may diminish its utility.

We have developed an extensive multi-year capital investment program, which we update and revise based on changing internal and external factors. As previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, we expect to incur $2.0 billion for capital investments attributable to Valero during 2022. Approximately 60 percent of the expected capital investments attributable to Valero are for sustaining the business and 40 percent are for growth strategies, of which approximately 50 percent is allocated to expanding our low-carbon businesses.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2022, our contractual obligations included debt obligations, interest payments related to debt obligations, operating lease liabilities, finance lease obligations, other long-term liabilities, and purchase obligations. In the ordinary course of business, we had debt-related activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as described in Note 5 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business with respect to our contractual obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Table of Contents

We raised $4.0 billion of incremental debt in 2020 due to the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we reduced debt through the acquisition of the $300 million GO Zone Bonds. This transaction, combined with debt reduction and refinancing transactions completed in the second half of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, have collectively reduced our debt by $2.3 billion. We will continue to evaluate further deleveraging opportunities.

Other Matters Impacting Liquidity and Capital Resources

Treasury Stock Purchases

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we purchased for treasury 14,211,408 shares for $1.7 billion and 15,757,281 shares for $1.9 billion, respectively. We completed all authorized share purchases under the 2018 Program during the three months ended June 30, 2022. On July 7, 2022, our Board authorized our purchase of up to an additional $2.5 billion of shares under the 2022 Program with no expiration date. We will continue to evaluate the timing of purchases when appropriate. We have no obligation to make purchases under this program.

Pension Plan Funding

As disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, we plan to contribute approximately $116 million to our pension plans and $22 million to our other postretirement benefit plans during 2022.

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 many of our products. 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.

Cash Held by Our Foreign Subsidiaries

As of June 30, 2022, $2.7 billion of our cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Cash held by our foreign subsidiaries can be repatriated to us through dividends without any U.S. federal income tax consequences, but certain other taxes may apply, including, but not limited to, withholding taxes imposed by certain foreign jurisdictions, U.S. state income taxes, and U.S. federal income tax on foreign exchange gains. Therefore, there is a cost to repatriate cash held by certain of our foreign subsidiaries to us. However, we have accrued for withholding taxes and U.S. state income taxes on a portion of the cash held by certain of our foreign subsidiaries and we believe that the remaining cost is not material to our financial position and 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 the COVID-19 pandemic and other worldwide events causing volatility in the global crude oil markets. However, we believe that our portfolio of accounts receivable is sufficiently diversified to the extent necessary to minimize potential credit risk. Historically, we have not had any significant problems collecting our accounts receivable.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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. There have been no changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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 purchases and/or product sales 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.

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, 2022		December 31, 2021
Gain (loss) in fair value resulting from:
10% increase in underlying commodity prices	$	(60)	$	(61)
10% decrease in underlying commodity prices	60		61

See Note 14 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for notional volumes associated with these derivative contracts as of June 30, 2022.

COMPLIANCE PROGRAM PRICE RISK

We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with the Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Blending Programs. To manage this risk, we enter into contracts to purchase these credits. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 14 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion about these blending programs.

There have been no 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, 2021 or in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year December 31, 2021. However, to the extent the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the potential impact of inflation on our business, or the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity, they may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in such risk factors.
