Delek US Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2009 Results
BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Delek US Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DK), a diversified energy company with assets in the petroleum refining, marketing and retail industries, today announced financial results for the third quarter 2009.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, Delek US reported a net loss from continuing operations of $5.1 million, or ($0.10) per basic share, versus net income from continuing operations of $24.4 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2008. Excluding special items, the Company reported an adjusted net loss from continuing operations of $8.2 million, or ($0.16) per basic share, in the third quarter 2009.
In the Company's refining segment, third quarter results were adversely impacted by a significant decline in the 5-3-2 Gulf Coast crack spread in the period. Within the retail segment, same-store sales trends signaled improving business conditions in the Company's core Southeastern markets during the third quarter 2009, as both fuel gallons sold and merchandise sales increased above levels reported in the third quarter 2008.
As previously reported, the Company's Tyler, Texas refinery was offline between late November 2008 and mid-May 2009 due to a fire at the facility. During the third quarter 2009, the Company recorded income of $12.0 million related to claims under its property damage and business interruption insurance policies, including $6.0 million from the Company's business interruption policy and $5.8 million from its property damage policy, net of $0.2 million in property damage expenses. Since the start of the fourth quarter 2009, the Company has received additional cash payments on insurance claims totaling $4.1 million. Delek US believes it will receive additional insurance proceeds.
Uzi Yemin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Delek US, remarked: "Challenging Gulf Coast refining economics weighed heavily on our overall profitability during the third quarter 2009, serving to offset modest gains in our other segments. The 5-3-2 Gulf Coast crack spread declined more than 57 percent on a year-over-year basis in the third quarter, driven principally by a steep decline in refined product margins in September."
"Performance in our retail segment has improved in recent quarters, supported by increasingly stable business conditions in our core Southeastern markets. In the third quarter 2009, same-store fuel gallons sold and merchandise sales were higher when compared to the prior year period," continued Yemin.
Yemin concluded: "In view of current market conditions, we recently secured financing through our majority shareholder to maintain a healthy degree of financial flexibility. As of September 30, 2009, our cash position exceeded $107 million and our net debt to capitalization was less than 30 percent."
Refining Segment
Refining contribution margin was $8.4 million in the third quarter 2009, compared to $29.6 million in the third quarter 2008. The year-over-year decline in third quarter 2009 contribution margin was primarily attributable to a 57.7 percent year-over-year decline in the 5-3-2 Gulf Coast crack spread.
Capacity utilization at the Tyler refinery was 82.6 percent in the third quarter 2009, compared to 86.0 percent in the third quarter 2008. Tyler produced 54,092 barrels per day in the third quarter 2009, versus 55,339 barrels per day in the third quarter 2008. The refinery sold 54,266 barrels per day during the third quarter 2009, versus 55,854 in the prior year period.
Direct operating expense per barrel sold was $4.82 per barrel in the third quarter 2009, versus $5.46 per barrel in the third quarter 2008. Lower natural gas and electricity costs were key factors in the year over year decline in operating expense per barrel sold.
Refining margin, adding back inter-company marketing fees of $0.22 per barrel, was $4.37 per barrel sold, compared to $12.16 per barrel sold for the same quarter last year. The 5-3-2 Gulf Coast crack spread was an average of $6.38 in the third quarter 2009, versus $15.08 in the third quarter 2008.
Retail Segment
Retail segment contribution margin declined to $16.7 million in the third quarter 2009, compared to $21.5 million in the third quarter 2008. The year-over-year decline in third quarter contribution margin was primarily attributable to lower retail fuel margins when compared to the prior year period.
The third quarter 2009 signaled a continued improvement in same-store operational metrics. Same-store fuel gallons sold and same-store merchandise sales increased in the third quarter 2009, following more than a year of negative same-store comparisons. Same-store metrics have improved due primarily to a combination of lower fuel prices, improving consumer confidence and perceived stabilization in employment conditions in the Company's core Tennessee and Georgia markets.
Same-store gallons sold increased 2.2 percent in the third quarter 2009, when compared to the third quarter 2008. The retail segment sold a total of 102.4 million gallons during the three months ended September 30, 2009, versus 100.9 million gallons in the prior year period.
Third quarter 2009 retail margin was 17.8 cents per gallon, compared to 24.1 cents per gallon in the prior year period. The elevated retail fuel margin reported in the third quarter 2008 was favorably impacted by a dislocation between the wholesale and retail price of fuel that resulted from weather-related supply disruptions in the period.
Same-store merchandise sales increased 1.9 percent in the third quarter 2009, when compared to the third quarter 2008. Total merchandise sales in the retail segment totaled $99.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009, versus $98.0 million in the prior year period. Third quarter 2009 merchandise margin was 31.1 percent, versus 32.2 percent in the third quarter 2008.
In the first nine months of 2009, the retail segment reimaged 22 stores. From the inception of the Company's reimaging program in 2006 through September 30, 2009, the retail segment had reimaged nearly 27 percent of the Company's total store base.
During the third quarter 2009, Delek US realized a $1.9 million pre-tax loss on the disposition of 16 non-core real estate assets in Tennessee.
Marketing Segment
Marketing segment contribution margin was $3.9 million in the third quarter 2009, compared to $7.1 million in the third quarter 2008. Marketing segment results include $0.5 million in net losses on derivative instruments incurred during the third quarter 2009.
The marketing segment reported sales volumes of 11,897 barrels per day in the third quarter 2009, versus sales of 16,946 barrels per day in the prior year period, as inventories of refined products in central Texas rose to unusually high levels during the period. Refined product volumes that are typically shipped by competitors into upper Midwestern markets remained in central Texas during the period, as summer demand in the outside markets declined below historical levels. Given these competitive dynamics, sales and profit margins within the Marketing segment were under pressure during the third quarter 2009.
