FERTILIZER SEGMENT
18 Stable Trends in Fertilizer Supply & Demand Source: USDA, Fertecon US Nitrogen SupplyCorn Stocks to Use ➢ Fertilizers typically represent approximately 15% of farmers’ cost structure and significantly improve yields. ➢ USDA projecting stocks to use ratio for 2022/2023 at approximately 10%, one of the lowest levels since 2014. Nitrogen fertilizer pricing has declined recently as a result of lower natural gas prices in the U.S. and Europe and continued imports into the U.S., however supply and demand fundamentals remain favorable. ➢ Major global nitrogen capacity build cycle largely complete in 2017/2018, and additional tons have been absorbed by the market. ➢ Reduced global supply of nitrogen fertilizers due to production curtailments in Europe and restrictions on exports from China. ➢ U.S. has become an exporter of nitrogen fertilizer to Europe.
Strong Demand for Corn in the U.S. Source: USDA Economic Research Service and USDA WASDE. (1) Based on 2018 – 2022 average. 19 ➢ Corn has a variety of uses and applications, including feed grains, ethanol for fuel, and food, seed and industrial (FSI) ➢ Feed grains ▪ ~96% of domestic feed grains are supplied by corn ▪ Consumes ~39% of annual corn crop(1) ➢ Ethanol ▪ Consumes ~36% of annual corn crop(1) ▪ Corn demand for 2021 was impacted by the loss of gasoline and ethanol demand as a result of COVID-19 ▪ Increased export volumes more than offset temporary demand loss from ethanol ➢ Corn production typically driven more by yield than acres planted ➢ Nitrogen fertilizer is generally low on the cost curve for farmers U.S. Domestic Corn Use Domestic Corn Planted Acres and Yield per Acre Historical Corn Pricing $6.08
2 0 2 2 Summer 20 ➢ NOLA UAN fill price $400 - $420/ton for Q3 shipment. Ammonia fill price $900 - $950/ton for Q3 shipment. Anticipating strong Fall application of ammonia as growers evaluate input costs for 2023. ➢ Skyrocketing natural gas prices in Europe caused a significant amount of European fertilizer production facilities to curtail production or shut-in entirely, driving European imports of nitrogen fertilizers from the U.S. and Trinidad. ➢ Drought and heat conditions globally potentially led to lower-than-expected harvest yields and lower carryout inventories. Recent Domestic Nitrogen Fertilizer Market Conditions Fall ➢ UAN and Ammonia prices approximately $500/ton and $1,100/ton, respectively for 4Q 2022 shipment. Fall Ammonia application was strong and anticipating planted acres likely to increase in 2023. ➢ Carryout inventories for corn and soybeans expected to be at 10-year lows due to unfavorable weather conditions in the Spring and Summer. ➢ European fertilizer production remained curtailed due to high natural gas price environment, prompting increased exports of fertilizers from the U.S. and Trinidad to Europe. 2 0 2 3 Winter ➢ UAN and Ammonia prices approximately $400/ton and $800/ton, respectively for 1Q 2023 shipment. ➢ Natural gas prices in the U.S. and Europe declined dramatically, sparking speculation in the market around curtailed European production restarting. Despite the decline in European natural gas prices, U.S. fertilizer producers maintain a significant cost advantage vs. European producers. ➢ Planted corn expected to be 91 – 93 million in 2023. ➢ Nitrogen values supportive of higher application rates per acre than they were in 2022. Spring ➢ UAN and Ammonia prices approximately $300/ton and $500/ton, respectively for 2Q 2023 shipment. ➢ Some of the curtailed European nitrogen fertilizer production capacity returned amid lower natural gas price environment and imports of fertilizers into the U.S. continued, which reduced concerns around supply availability. ➢ Planted corn acres estimated at 90.5 to 91.5 million in 2023 compared to 88.6 million in 2022. ➢ Grain prices remain strong, with December 2023 corn futures prices over $5.40/bu and wheat over $7.25/bu.
➢ Large geographic footprint serving the Southern Plains and Corn Belt regions ➢ Well positioned to minimize distribution costs and maximize net back pricing ➢ Rail loading rack at the Coffeyville facility provides significant logistics optionality west of the Mississippi River due to access to both UP and BNSF delivery points ➢ Production sustainability due to storage capabilities at the plants and offsite locations (1) Coffeyville Facility carries out railcar distribution via the Union Pacific (“UP”) or Burlington Northern Santa Fe (“BNSF”) railroad lines.

APPENDIX
Non-GAAP Financial Measures 25 Adjusted EBITDA – EBITDA adjusted for certain significant non-cash items and items that management believes are not attributable to or indicative of our on-going operations or that may obscure our underlying results and trends. Direct Operating Expenses per Throughput Barrel represents direct operating expenses for the Company’s Petroleum segment divided by total throughput barrels during the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense. Refining Margin represents the difference between the Company’s Petroleum segment net sales and cost of materials and other. Refining Margin adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impact represents Refining Margin adjusted to exclude the impact of current period market price and volume fluctuations on crude oil and refined product inventories purchased in prior periods and lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments, if necessary. The Company records its commodity inventories on the first-in-first-out basis. As a result, significant current period fluctuations in market prices and the volumes it holds in inventory can have favorable or unfavorable impacts on its refining margins as compared to similar metrics used by other publicly-traded companies in the refining industry. Refining Margin and Refining Margin adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impact, per Throughput Barrel represents Refining Margin and Refining Margin adjusted for Inventory Valuation Impacts divided by the total throughput barrels during the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period.
