CVR Energy Reports 2014 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results
And Announces Cash Dividend of 50 Cents

•
2014 cumulative cash dividends of $412.4 million or $4.75 per share

SUGAR LAND, Texas (Feb. 19, 2015) - CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CVI) today announced full year 2014 net income of $173.9 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, on net sales of $9,109.5 million, compared to net income for full year 2013 of $370.7 million, or $4.27 per diluted share, on net sales of $8,985.8 million. Full year 2014 adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $473.5 million compared to full year 2013 adjusted EBITDA of $659.7 million.

For the fourth quarter of 2014, the company reported a net loss of $44.4 million, or a loss of 51 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1,841.8 million, compared to a fourth quarter 2013 net loss of $21.7 million, or a loss of 25 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $2,436.0 million. Net income for the 2014 fourth quarter was negatively affected by an unfavorable first-in, first-out (FIFO) accounting impact of $154.6 million.

Fourth quarter 2014 adjusted EBITDA was $81.7 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $110.0 million for the same period a year earlier.

“Our fourth quarter results were primarily impacted by volatile crude and product markets as well as an unplanned outage of the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit at CVR Refining’s Wynnewood refinery,” said Jack Lipinski, CVR Energy’s chief executive officer. “Refining margins have significantly improved since mid-January, and the Coffeyville and Wynnewood refineries have operated well year to date.

“At CVR Partners, the fertilizer plant posted some of its highest production and operating rates for the year during the fourth quarter,” Lipinski said.

CVR Energy also announced a fourth quarter 2014 cash dividend of 50 cents per share. The dividend, as declared by CVR Energy’s Board of Directors, will be paid on March 9, 2015, to stockholders of record on March 2, 2015.

Today, CVR Refining announced a 2014 fourth quarter cash distribution of 37 cents per common unit, and CVR Partners announced a 2014 fourth quarter cash distribution of 41 cents per common unit.
    
“We continue to return cash to stockholders through quarterly dividends,” Lipinski said. “CVR Energy’s fourth quarter cash dividend of 50 cents per share brings the cumulative cash dividends paid or declared for 2014 to $4.75 per share.”

Petroleum Business

The petroleum business, which is operated by CVR Refining and includes the Coffeyville and Wynnewood refineries, reported a fourth quarter 2014 operating loss of $113.3 million, on net sales of $1,772.8 million, compared to fourth quarter 2013 operating income of $14.9 million, on net sales of $2,360.9 million.

Refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact per crude oil throughput barrel, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $11.28 in the 2014 fourth quarter, compared to $11.48 during the same period in 2013. Direct operating expenses, including major scheduled turnaround expenses, per barrel sold, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, for the 2014 fourth quarter was $5.76, compared to $4.27 in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Fourth quarter 2014 throughputs of crude oil and all other feedstocks and blendstocks totaled 212,263 barrels per day (bpd), compared to fourth quarter 2013 throughputs of crude oil and all other feedstocks and blendstocks of 216,876 bpd.

(1)
Gross tons produced for ammonia represent total ammonia produced, including ammonia produced that was upgraded into UAN. As a result of the completion of the UAN expansion project in February 2013, the Nitrogen Fertilizer segment now upgrades substantially all of the ammonia it produces into UAN. Net tons available for sale represent the ammonia available for sale that was not upgraded into UAN.

(2)
In addition to the produced ammonia, the Nitrogen Fertilizer segment acquired approximately 3,900 and 12,300 tons of ammonia during the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Nitrogen Fertilizer segment acquired approximately 33,600 and 17,300 tons of ammonia during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Nitrogen Fertilizer segment has upgraded or expects to upgrade the majority of purchased ammonia to UAN.

(3)
Product pricing at gate per ton represents net sales less freight revenue divided by product sales volume in tons and is shown in order to provide a pricing measure that is comparable across the fertilizer industry.

(4)
On-stream factor is the total number of hours operated divided by the total number of hours in the reporting period and is a measure of operating efficiency.

Excluding the impact of the shutdown for installation of the waste heat boiler, the pressure swing adsorption unit upgrade and the Linde air separation unit maintenance, the on-stream factors for the year ended December 31, 2014

12




would have been 98.2% for gasifier, 94.3% for ammonia and 93.7% for UAN. Excluding the impact of the UAN expansion coming on-line, the planned downtime associated with the replacement of damaged catalyst, the unplanned Linde air separation unit outages and the unplanned downtime associated with weather issues, the on-stream factors for the year ended December 31, 2013 would have been 99.5% for gasifier, 98.9% for ammonia and 98.0% for UAN.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s actual results in accordance with GAAP for the applicable periods, the Company also uses non-GAAP financial measures as noted above which are reconciled to our GAAP-based results below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative for GAAP results. The adjustments are provided to enhance an overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance for the applicable periods and are indicators management believes are relevant and useful for planning and forecasting future periods.

Adjusted net income is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be substituted for net income (loss) as a measure of our performance but rather should be utilized as a supplemental measure of financial performance in evaluating our business. Management believes that adjusted net income provides relevant and useful information that enables external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in the review of our overall financial, operational and economic performance. Adjusted net income per diluted share represents adjusted net income divided by weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

Refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel is a measurement calculated as the difference between the Petroleum segment’s net sales and cost of product sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Refining margin is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is important to investors in evaluating the refineries’ performance as a general indication of the amount above their cost of product sold that they are able to sell refined products. Our calculation of refining margin may differ from similar calculations of other companies in the industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In order to derive the refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel, we utilize the total dollar figures for refining margin as derived above and divide by the applicable number of crude oil throughput barrels for the period. We believe that refining margin is important to enable investors to better understand and evaluate the Petroleum segment’s ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in the review of our overall financial, operational and economic performance.

Refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel adjusted for FIFO impact is a measurement calculated as the difference between the Petroleum segment’s net sales and cost of product sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) adjusted for FIFO impacts. Refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is important to investors in evaluating the refineries’ performance as a general indication of the amount above their cost of product sold (taking into account the impact of the utilization of FIFO) that they are able to sell refined products. Our calculation of refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact may differ from calculations of other companies in the industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Under the FIFO accounting method, changes in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in favorable FIFO impacts when crude oil prices increase and unfavorable FIFO impacts when crude oil prices decrease.

Gross profit (loss) is calculated as the difference between the Petroleum segment’s net sales, cost of product sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), major scheduled turnaround expenses and depreciation and amortization. Gross profit (loss) per crude throughput barrel is calculated as gross profit (loss) as derived above divided by the refineries’ crude oil throughput volumes for the respective periods presented. Gross profit (loss) is a non-GAAP measure that should not be substituted for operating income (loss). Management believes it is important to investors in evaluating the refineries’ performance and the Petroleum segment’s ongoing operating results. Our calculation of gross profit (loss) may differ from similar calculations of other companies in the industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before (i) interest expense and other financing costs, net of interest income, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for FIFO impacts (favorable) unfavorable, share-based compensation, major scheduled turnaround expenses, (gain) loss on derivatives, net, current period settlements on derivative contracts and loss on extinguishment of debt. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be substituted for net income (loss) or cash flow from operations. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA enable investors to better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in reviewing our overall financial, operational and economic performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently. Below is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months and years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA by operating segment represents net income (loss) before (i) interest expense and other financing costs, net of interest income, (ii) income tax expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment represents EBITDA by operating segment adjusted for FIFO impacts (favorable) unfavorable; share-based compensation, non-cash; major scheduled turnaround expenses; loss on extinguishment of debt; (gain) loss on derivatives, net; and current period settlements on derivative contracts. We present Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment because it is the starting point for CVR Refining’s and CVR Partners’ calculation of available cash for distribution. Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be substituted for operating income (loss) as a measure of performance. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA by operating segment enables investors to better understand CVR Refining’s and CVR Partners’ ability to make distributions to their common unitholders, helps investors evaluate our ongoing operating results and allows for greater transparency in reviewing our overall financial, operational and economic performance. Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently. Below is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA for the Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer segments for the three months and years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Represents the portion of gain (loss) on derivatives, net related to contracts that matured during the respective periods and settled with counterparties. There are no premiums paid or received at inception of the derivative contracts and upon settlement, there is no cost recovery associated with these contracts.

Derivatives Summary. The Petroleum segment enters into commodity swap contracts through crack spread swap agreements with financial counterparties to fix the spread risk between the refineries’ crude oil purchases and the refined products the refineries produce for sale. Through these swaps, the Petroleum segment will sell a fixed differential for the value between the selected refined product benchmark and the benchmark crude oil price, thereby locking in a margin for a portion of the refineries’ production. The physical volumes are not exchanged and these contracts are net settled with cash. From time to time, the Petroleum segment holds various NYMEX positions through a third-party clearing house. 
The table below summarizes the Petroleum segment’s open commodity swap positions as of December 31, 2014. The positions are primarily in the form of crack spread swap agreements with financial counterparties, wherein the Petroleum segment has locked in differentials at the fixed prices noted below. As of December 31, 2014 the open commodity swap positions below were comprised of approximately 93.4% for distillate crack swaps and 6.6% for gasoline crack swaps.
