Valero Energy Reports 2012 Fourth Quarter and Annual Results
2013-01-29 13:49:41 -
SAN ANTONIO, January 29, 2013 - Valero Energy Corporation ("Valero," NYSE: VLO)
today reported net income attributable to Valero stockholders of $1.0 billion,
or $1.82 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to net income
attributable to Valero stockholders of $45 million, or $0.08 per share, for the
fourth quarter of 2011. Included in the fourth quarter 2012 results was a
noncash asset impairment loss of $37 million after taxes, or $0.06 per share.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, net income attributable to Valero
stockholders was $2.1 billion, or $3.75 per share. Included in the results were
noncash asset impairment losses of $983 million after taxes, or $1.77 per share,
and severance expense of $41 million after taxes, or $0.07 per share, mainly
related to the shutdown and impairment of the Aruba refinery.
Fourth quarter 2012 operating income was $1.6 billion versus $167 million of
operating income in the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase in operating
income was primarily due to higher refining throughput margins in each of the
company's regions plus lower refining operating expenses. The increase in
refining throughput margins was mainly due to the increase in discounts for
medium sour, heavy sour, and domestic light crude oils. A significant decline
in ethanol margins partially offset the increase in operating income.
Fourth quarter 2012 refining throughput volume averaged 2.64 million barrels per
day, down 73,000 barrels per day from the fourth quarter of 2011 mainly due to
the lack of throughput volume at the Aruba refinery, which was shut down in the
first quarter of 2012.
"This was Valero's best fourth-quarter earnings per share since 2005, and we
made important progress on our strategic goals," said Valero Chairman and CEO
Bill Klesse. "In the fourth quarter, we had a smooth start-up of our new
hydrocracker at the Port Arthur refinery, which was the largest project in
Valero's history. We also continued construction on our St. Charles
hydrocracker, which is scheduled for start-up in the second quarter of 2013. We
believe these projects are perfectly suited for the current environment of
strong distillate margins and inexpensive natural gas."
Klesse continued, "Also in the fourth quarter of 2012, we replaced all imported
light foreign crude oils with cheaper domestic crude oils at our Gulf Coast and
Memphis refineries. Since we expect U.S. and Canadian crude oils to become
increasingly more available, we are pursuing options to process additional
volumes of these cost-advantaged crudes throughout our refining system."
Valero's retail segment reported $95 million of operating income in the fourth
quarter of 2012 versus $83 million of operating income in the fourth quarter of
2011. The increase in operating income was mainly due to higher fuel margins in
the U.S., which was somewhat offset by lower fuel margins and a noncash asset
impairment loss of $9 million before taxes in Canada. For the full-year 2012,
the retail segment generated $348 million of operating income, and those results
were second only to the 2011 record-high results of $381 million.
Valero continued to make progress in the separation of its retail business under
a new company named CST Brands, Inc. ("CST"). The separation is planned by way
of a pro rata distribution of 80 percent of the outstanding shares of CST common
stock to Valero stockholders. The distribution is expected to take place in the
second quarter of 2013, assuming a favorable private letter ruling from the
Internal Revenue Service and clearance of all comments from the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). When the distribution occurs, Valero expects to
receive approximately $1.1 billion of cash and incur a tax liability of
approximately $300 million, primarily in Canada. Valero also expects to
liquidate the remaining 20 percent of CST outstanding shares within 18 months of
the distribution. Details of the separation and distribution are provided in
filings with the SEC by CST (formerly known as Corner Store Holdings, Inc.).
Commenting on the retail separation, Klesse said, "We believe the separated
retail business will perform well and unlock value for our shareholders. In
addition to its large and geographically diverse network of high-quality sites,
the retail business has a long history of strong brand recognition and financial
performance, as well as significant growth opportunities in merchandise, food
service, and new-build locations."
Valero's ethanol segment reported operating income of $12 million in the fourth
quarter of 2012 versus $181 million of operating income in the fourth quarter of
2011. The decrease in ethanol operating income was due to significantly lower
gross margins caused by a combination of high corn prices and high industry
ethanol inventories attributable to lower ethanol and gasoline demand. Due to
poor margins, Valero operated its ethanol capacity at reduced rates with three
plants temporarily idled.
Regarding cash flows in the fourth quarter of 2012, capital spending was $942
million, of which $140 million was for turnaround and catalyst expenditures.
Valero paid $97 million in dividends on its common stock and $133 million to
purchase the company's shares. For the full-year 2012, Valero used $281 million
to purchase 10.6 million shares of the company's stock. Valero ended the fourth
quarter with $1.7 billion in cash and temporary cash investments.
For the full-year 2012, total capital spending, including turnaround and
catalyst expenditures, was $3.4 billion, or $100 million below guidance. Valero
expects total capital spending for 2013 to be approximately $2.5 billion,
including approximately $200 million for the retail segment.
Regarding other uses of cash in 2013, Valero retired $180 million of 6.7% senior
notes that matured in mid-January and expects to retire $300 million of maturing
notes in the second quarter of 2013.
Klesse concluded, "Returning cash to stockholders remains a priority. We bought
back shares in the fourth quarter, and last week, our Board of Directors
approved a 14 percent increase in our quarterly dividend to make it 20 cents per
share. We intend to maintain our investment grade credit rating, fund selective
growth opportunities, and achieve one of the highest cash yields among our peers
through regular dividends and share repurchases."
Valero's senior management will hold a conference call at 11 a.m. ET (10 a.m.
CT) today to discuss this earnings release and provide an update on company
operations. A live broadcast of the conference call will be available on the
company's web site at www.valero.com.

NOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE
(a) The statement of income data and operating highlights for the refining
segment and U.S. Gulf Coast region reflect the results of operations of our
refinery in Meraux, Louisiana (Meraux Refinery), including related logistics
assets, from the date of its acquisition on October 1, 2011. We acquired
this refinery, inventories, and offsite logistics assets from Murphy Oil
Corporation for $547 million.
(b) The statement of income data and operating highlights for the refining
segment and North Atlantic region reflect the results of operations of our
refinery in Wales, United Kingdom (Pembroke Refinery), including the related
marketing and logistics business, from the date of its acquisition on August
1, 2011. We acquired this business from a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation
for $1.7 billion, net of cash acquired.
(c) Cost of sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 includes a loss
of $542 million ($352 million after taxes) on commodity derivative contracts
related to the forward sales of refined product. These contracts were closed
and realized during the first quarter of 2011. This loss is reflected in
refining segment operating income for the twelve months ended December
31, 2011, but throughput margin per barrel for the refining segment has been
restated from the amount previously presented to exclude this $542 million
loss ($0.61 per barrel). In addition, operating income and throughput margin
per barrel for the U.S. Gulf Coast, the U.S. Mid-Continent, and the U.S.
West Coast regions for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 have been
restated from the amounts previously presented to exclude the portion of
this loss that had been allocated to them of $372 million ($0.70 per
barrel), $122 million ($0.81 per barrel), and $48 million ($0.51 per
barrel), respectively.
(d) In September 2012, we decided to reorganize our refinery in Aruba (Aruba
Refinery) into a crude oil and refined products terminal. These terminal
operations require a considerably smaller workforce; therefore, the
reorganization resulted in the termination of the majority of our employees
in Aruba. We recognized severance expense of $41 million in September 2012.
This expense is reflected in refining segment operating income for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2012, but it is excluded from operating
costs per barrel for the refining segment and the U.S. Gulf Coast region. No
income tax benefits were recognized related to this severance expense.
(e) During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012, we recognized
the following asset impairment losses (in millions):

our subsequent decision in September 2012 to reorganize the refinery into a
crude oil and refined products terminal, as discussed in note (d). We
recognized an asset impairment loss of $595 million in March 2012 and an
additional asset impairment loss of $308 million in September 2012,
resulting in no remaining book value being associated with the refinery's
idled processing units and related infrastructure (refining assets). In
addition, we recorded a loss of $25 million related to supplies inventories
that supported the refining operations. The refining operations will remain
suspended indefinitely; however, we continue to maintain the refining assets
to allow them to be restarted and do not consider them to be abandoned. No
income tax benefits were recorded related to this asset impairment loss.
We also recognized asset impairment losses related to permanently cancelled
capital projects at certain of our refineries and related to our
determination that the net book values of certain of our retail stores were
not recoverable through the future operation and disposition of those
stores. The after-tax amounts of these asset impairment losses were $37
million and $55 million for the three and twelve months ended December
31, 2012, respectively.
The asset impairment losses reflected in the table above are included in the
operating income of the respective segment for the three and twelve months
ended December 31, 2012. However, the asset impairment losses related to the
refining segment are excluded from the segment's operating costs per barrel
and from the operating income and operating costs per barrel by region.
(f) We own a 50 percent interest in Diamond Green Diesel Holdings LLC (DGD) and
have agreed to lend DGD up to $221 million to finance 60 percent of the
construction costs of the plant, as described below. We consolidate the
financial statements of DGD due to our controlling financial interest in
this entity. The losses incurred by DGD that are attributable to the owner
of the remaining interest are added back to net income to arrive at net
income attributable to Valero. DGD is currently building a plant that will
process animal fats, used cooking oils, and other vegetable oils into
renewable green diesel. The plant is located next to our refinery in Norco,
Louisiana (St. Charles Refinery).
(g) Primarily includes petrochemicals, gas oils, No. 6 fuel oil, petroleum coke,
and asphalt.
(h) The regions reflected herein contain the following refineries: U.S. Gulf
Coast- Corpus Christi East, Corpus Christi West, Texas City, Houston, Three
Rivers, St. Charles, Aruba, Port Arthur, and Meraux Refineries; U.S. Mid-
Continent- McKee, Ardmore, and Memphis Refineries; North Atlantic- Pembroke
and Quebec City Refineries; and U.S. West Coast- Benicia and Wilmington
Refineries.
