Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE: VLO) is providing preliminary estimated ranges for certain financial information reflecting market and operating conditions experienced during the first quarter of 2021. Valero expects to report a net loss attributable to Valero stockholders in the range of $2.05 to $1.81 per share for the first quarter of 2021. The company expects electricity and natural gas costs incurred primarily by its refining and ethanol business segments to be higher than expected for the first quarter of 2021 due to the impacts of Winter Storm Uri. The preliminary estimated impact of excess energy costs included in the range of net loss attributable to Valero stockholders noted above is $1.18 to $1.14 per share. These estimated excess energy costs are reflected in the table below.

(*Consensus sees Q1 loss per share of $0.76)

The company will host a conference call on April 22, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. ET to discuss first quarter 2021 earnings results, which will be released earlier that day, and provide an update on company operations and guidance for 2021.

The preliminary estimated information set forth above does not represent a comprehensive statement of income for the first quarter of 2021. The final statement of our income for the first quarter of 2021 may vary from our current expectations and may be different from the information described above as our quarterly financial statement close process is not yet complete and additional developments and adjustments may arise between now and the time the financial information for this period is finalized. In addition, these preliminary estimates are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the remainder of 2021 or in any future period. There can be no assurance that these estimates will be realized, and estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are not within our control. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the preliminary estimated financial information.
