CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements”, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, of expected future developments that involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that relate to our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results or to our expectations regarding future industry trends are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, which we refer to as “cautionary statements,” are disclosed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 of PBF Energy Inc., PBF Holding Company LLC and PBF Finance Corporation, which we refer to as our 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K, and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All forward-looking information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include:
supply, demand, prices and other market conditions for our products;
 the effects of competition in our markets;
changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and capital costs;
 adverse developments in our relationship with both our key employees and unionized employees;
our ability to operate our businesses efficiently, manage capital expenditures and costs (including general and administrative expenses) and generate earnings and cash flow;
our substantial indebtedness;
our supply and inventory intermediation arrangements expose us to counterparty credit and performance risk;
termination of our Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, as we would be required to finance our refined products inventory covered by the agreements. Additionally, we are obligated to repurchase from J. Aron all volumes of products located at the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries’ storage tanks upon termination of these agreements;
restrictive covenants in our indebtedness that may adversely affect our operational flexibility;
payments to the holders of PBF LLC Series A Units and PBF LLC Series B Units under our tax receivable agreement for certain tax benefits we may claim;
our assumptions regarding payments arising under the tax receivable agreement and other arrangements relating to our organizational structure are subject to change due to various factors, including, among other factors, the timing of exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of our Class A common stock as contemplated by the tax receivable agreement, the price of our Class A common stock at the time of such exchanges, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable, and the amount and timing of our income;

4



our expectations and timing with respect to our acquisition activity and whether any acquisitions are accretive or dilutive to shareholders;
our expectations with respect to our capital improvement projects including the development and expansion of our Delaware City crude unloading facilities and status of an air permit to transfer crude to Paulsboro;
the impact of disruptions to crude or feedstock supply to any of our refineries, including disruptions due
to problems with third party logistics infrastructure or operations, including pipeline and rail transportation;
the possibility that we might reduce or not make further dividend payments;
the impact of current and future laws, rulings and governmental regulations, including any change by the federal government in the restrictions on exporting U.S. crude oil and the implementation of rules and regulations regarding transportation of crude oil by rail;
adverse impacts from changes in our regulatory environment or actions taken by environmental interest groups;
the costs of being a public company, including Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance;
any decisions we make with respect to our energy-related logistical assets that could qualify for an MLP structure, including future opportunities that we may determine present greater potential value to stockholders than conveying assets to the planned MLP;
the timing and structure of the planned MLP initial public offering may change;
unanticipated developments may delay or negatively impact the planned MLP initial public offering;
receipt of regulatory approvals and compliance with contractual obligations required in connection with the planned MLP initial public offering;
the impact of the planned MLP initial public offering on our relationships with our employees, customers and vendors and our credit rating and cost of funds; and
although we are no longer a “controlled company” following our January 2014 secondary offering, Blackstone and First Reserve continue to be able to significantly influence our decisions, and it is possible that their interests will conflict with ours.
We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all of the material factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not in fact occur. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on those statements.
Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, and we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing.

PBF ENERGY INC. AND
PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

 
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of the Business
PBF Energy Inc. ("PBF Energy") is the sole managing member of PBF Energy Company LLC ("PBF LLC") with a controlling interest in PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries and records a noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements representing the economic interests of PBF LLC's members other than PBF Energy.

On January 10, 2014, PBF Energy completed a public offering of 15,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $28.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions, in a secondary offering (the "January 2014 secondary offering"). All of the shares were sold by funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P., or Blackstone, and First Reserve Management, L.P., or First Reserve. In connection with the January 2014 secondary offering, Blackstone and First Reserve exchanged 15,000,000 Series A Units of PBF LLC for an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock of PBF Energy. The holders of PBF LLC Series B Units, which include certain executive officers of PBF Energy, had the right to receive a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the PBF Energy Class A common stock by Blackstone and First Reserve. PBF Energy did not receive any proceeds from the January 2014 secondary offering.

Additionally, on March 26, 2014, PBF Energy completed a public offering of 15,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $25.39 per share, which includes underwriting discounts and commissions, in a secondary offering (the "March 2014 secondary offering"). All of the shares were sold by funds affiliated with First Reserve. In connection with the March 2014 secondary offering, First Reserve exchanged 15,000,000 Series A Units of PBF LLC for an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock of PBF Energy. The holders of PBF LLC Series B Units, which include certain executive officers of PBF Energy, had the right to receive a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the PBF Energy Class A common stock by First Reserve. PBF Energy did not receive any proceeds from the March 2014 secondary offering.

PBF LLC, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, owns and operates oil refineries and related facilities in North America. PBF Holding Company LLC ("PBF Holding") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF LLC. PBF Finance Corporation ("PBF Finance") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding. Delaware City Refining Company LLC, Delaware Pipeline Company LLC, PBF Power Marketing LLC, Paulsboro Refining Company LLC, Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline Company LLC and Toledo Refining Company LLC are PBF LLC’s principal operating subsidiaries and are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of PBF Holding. Collectively, PBF Energy and subsidiaries, including PBF Holding, are referred to hereinafter as the "Company".

Substantially all of the Company’s operations are in the United States. The Company’s three oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and have been aggregated to form one reportable segment. To generate earnings and cash flows from operations, the Company is primarily dependent upon processing crude oil and selling refined petroleum products at margins sufficient to cover fixed and variable costs and other expenses. Crude oil and refined petroleum products are commodities and factors largely out of the Company’s control can cause prices to vary over time. The potential margin volatility can have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, earnings and cash flow.    

Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated

financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 of PBF Energy Inc., PBF Holding Company LLC and PBF Finance Corporation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2. NONCONTROLLING INTEREST OF PBF ENERGY

PBF Energy is the sole managing member of, and had a controlling interest in, PBF LLC which represented 40.9% of the outstanding units as of December 31, 2013. As the sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the business and affairs of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. In connection with the January 2014 and March 2014 secondary offerings, Blackstone and First Reserve exchanged 30,000,000 Series A Units of PBF LLC for an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock of PBF Energy, which increased PBF Energy's interest in PBF LLC to approximately 71.9% as of March 31, 2014.

PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries, and records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF Energy held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy. Noncontrolling interest on the consolidated statements of operations represents the portion of net income or loss attributable to the economic interest in PBF Energy held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy. Noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheets represents the portion of net assets of PBF Energy attributable to the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy. The noncontrolling interest ownership percentage as of March 31, 2014, March 26, 2014 (the completion date of the March 2014 secondary offering) and January 10, 2014 (the completion date of the January 2014 secondary offering) and December 31, 2013 is calculated as follows:

The Company has the obligation to repurchase certain intermediates and finished products that are held in the Company’s refinery storage tanks in accordance with the Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, which commenced in July 2013. As of March 31, 2014, a liability included in Inventory supply and offtake arrangements is recorded at market price for the J. Aron owned inventory held in the Company's storage tanks under the Inventory Intermediation Agreements, with any change in the market price being recorded in cost of sales. 

Prior to July 1, 2013, the Company had the obligation to repurchase certain intermediates and lube products under its products offtake agreements with Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. (“MSCG”) that were held in the Company’s refinery storage tanks in Delaware City and Paulsboro. A liability included in Inventory supply and offtake arrangements was recorded at market price for the volumes held in storage consistent with the terms of the offtake agreements with any change in the market price recorded in cost of sales.  The liability represented the amount the Company expected to pay to repurchase the volumes held in storage. The Company recorded a non-cash benefit of $15,904 related to this liability in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The Company is subject to obligations to purchase Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") required to comply with the Renewable Fuels Standard. The Company's overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). To the degree the Company is unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RINs obligation, RINs must be purchased on the open market to avoid penalties and fines. The Company records its RINs obligation on a net basis in Accrued expenses when its RINs liability is greater than the amount of RINs earned and purchased in a given period and in Prepaid expenses and other current assets when the amount of RINs earned and purchased is greater than the RINs liability.

6. CREDIT FACILITY
Effective March 25, 2014, PBF Rail Logistics Company LLC (“PBF Rail”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding, entered into a $250,000 secured revolving credit agreement (the “Rail Facility”) with a consortium of eleven lenders, including Credit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank (“CA-CIB”) as Administrative Agent. The primary purpose of the Rail Facility is to fund the acquisition by PBF Rail of approximately two thousand

18

PBF ENERGY INC. AND
PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

coiled and insulated crude tank cars and approximately one thousand non-coiled and non-insulated general purpose crude tank cars (the "Eligible Railcars") before December 2015.

The amount advanced under the Rail Facility will equal 70% of the lesser of the aggregate Appraised Value of the Eligible Railcars, or the aggregate Purchase Price of such Eligible Railcars, as these terms are defined in the credit agreement. On the first anniversary of the closing, the advance rate will adjust automatically to 65%. The Rail Facility matures on March 31, 2016 and all outstanding advances must be repaid at that time. At any time prior to maturity PBF Rail may repay and re-borrow any advances without premium or penalty.

At PBF Rail's election, advances will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to one month Libor plus the Facility Margin for Eurodollar Loans, or the Corporate Base Rate plus the Facility Margin for Base Rate Loans (the Corporate Base Rate is equal to the higher of the prime rate as determined by CA-CIB, the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points, or one month Libor plus 100 basis points), all as defined in the credit agreement. In addition, there is a commitment fee on the unused portion. Interest and fees are payable monthly.

The lenders received a perfected, first priority security interest in all of PBF Rail assets, including but not limited to (i) the Railcars, (ii) all railcar marks and other intangibles, (iii) the rights of PBF Rail under the Transportation Services Agreement (“TSA”) entered into by the PBF Rail and PBF Holding, (iv) the accounts of PBF Rail, and (v) proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Eligible Railcars, including insurance proceeds. In addition, the lenders received a pledge of the membership interest of PBF Rail held by PBF Transportation Company LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding. The obligations of PBF Holding under the TSA are guaranteed by each of Delaware City Refining Company LLC, Paulsboro Refining Company LLC, and Toledo Refining Company LLC.
At March 31, 2014, there were no outstanding loans under the Rail Facility.

7. INCOME TAXES
PBF Energy
For periods following PBF Energy’s IPO, PBF Energy is required to file federal and applicable state corporate income tax returns and recognizes income taxes on its pre-tax income, which to date has consisted solely of its share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income (approximately 40.9% prior to the January 2014 secondary offering, 56.4% prior to the March 2014 secondary offering and approximately 71.9% subsequent to the March 2014 secondary offering). PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company which is treated as a "flow-through" entity for federal income tax purposes and therefore is not subject to income taxes. As a result, the PBF Energy condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in PBF LLC.

The income tax provision in the PBF Energy condensed consolidated financial statements of operations consists of the following:

PBF Energy has determined there are no material uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2014.

PBF Holding
PBF Holding is a limited liability company treated as a "flow-through" entity for income tax purposes. Accordingly there is no benefit or provision for federal or state income tax in the accompanying PBF Holding financial statements.

8. INTERCOMPANY NOTES PAYABLE
As of March 31, 2014, PBF Holding had outstanding notes payable with PBF Energy and PBF LLC for an aggregate principal amount of $32,035 ($31,835 as of December 31, 2013). The notes have an interest rate of 2.5% and a five year term but may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, at the option of the PBF Holding, without penalty or premium.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Matters
The Company’s refineries are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment, waste management and the characteristics and the compositions of fuels. Compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations can increase the overall cost of operating the refineries, including remediation, operating costs and capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities.

In connection with the Paulsboro refinery acquisition, the Company assumed certain environmental remediation obligations. The environmental liability of $11,473 recorded as of March 31, 2014 ($9,869 as of December 31, 2013) represents the present value of expected future costs discounted at a rate of 8%. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in other long-term liabilities. A trust fund related to this liability in the amount of $12,117 and $12,117, acquired in the Paulsboro acquisition, is recorded as restricted cash in deferred charges and other assets, net as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

In connection with the acquisition of the Delaware City assets, Valero Energy Corporation ("Valero") remains responsible for certain pre-acquisition environmental obligations up to $20,000 and the predecessor to Valero in ownership of the refinery retains other historical obligations.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

In connection with the acquisition of the Delaware City assets and the Paulsboro refinery, the Company and Valero purchased ten year, $75,000 environmental insurance policies to insure against unknown environmental liabilities at each site. In connection with the Toledo refinery acquisition, Sunoco, Inc. (R&M) ("Sunoco") remains responsible for environmental remediation for conditions that existed on the closing date for twenty years from March 1, 2011.

In 2010, New York State adopted a Low-Sulfur Heating Oil mandate that, beginning July 1, 2012, requires all heating oil sold in New York State to contain no more than 15 PPM sulfur.  By July 1, 2014, four additional Northeastern states will also require heating oils with 500 PPM or less sulfur.  All of the heating oil we currently produce meets these specifications.  The mandate and other requirements do not currently have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
The EPA issued the final Tier 3 Gasoline standards on March 3, 2014 under the Clean Air Act. This final rule establishes more stringent vehicle emission standards and further reduces the sulfur content of gasoline starting in January of 2017.  The new standard is set at 10 ppm sulfur in gasoline on an annual average basis starting January 1, 2017, with a credit trading program to provide compliance flexibility. The EPA responded to industry comments on the proposed rule and maintained the per gallon sulfur cap on gasoline at the existing 80 ppm cap. The standards set by the new rule are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
The EPA was required to release the final annual standards for the Reformulated Fuels Standard ("RFS") for 2014 no later than Nov 29, 2013. The EPA did not meet this requirement but did release the proposed standards for 2014. In the proposed standards EPA responded to the industry discussion around the apparent infeasibility of compliance in 2014 if the EPA issued standards following the requirements of the Energy Independence and Security Act.  The EPA indicated it would use its waiver authority under the RFS 2 program ("RFS 2") and set standards for renewable fuel recognizing the practical constraints in requiring ethanol blending into gasoline above 10%. The EPA also indicated it would reduce the advanced biofuel requirement and hold constant the biomass based diesel requirements at the 2013 level. The cellulosic requirement would be increased over the 2013 volume and, as has been the case in each of the prior years, the EPA would likely be overstating the actual production. Renewable fuel groups have been vocal in advocating changes to the proposed standards in general due to the lower volumes mandated. The EPA is targeting to finalize the 2014 RFS 2 standards by June 2014. While there is still uncertainty regarding the final standards, the Company expects that the final standards issued by the EPA will not have a material impact on the Company's cost of compliance with RFS 2.
 
On June 1, 2012, the EPA issued final amendments to the New Source Performance Standards ("NSPS") for petroleum refineries, including standards for emissions of nitrogen oxides from process heaters and work practice standards and monitoring requirements for flares.  The Company has evaluated the impact of the regulation and amended standards on its refinery operations and currently does not expect the cost to comply by July 1, 2015 with the amended NSPS to be material.
 
In addition, the EPA proposed a Final Rule to the Clean Water Act ("CWA") Section 316(b) regarding cooling water intake structures. The next phase will include requirements for petroleum refineries.  The rule was to be published in January 2014, but was delayed by the EPA.  On February 10, 2014 the EPA and regulated parties agreed that the Agency will finalize the cooling water intake rule by April 17, 2014. The EPA did not meet this date, and has indicated that the issuance will be delayed until May 16, 2014.  The purpose of this rule is to prevent fish from being trapped against cooling water intake screens (impingement) and to prevent fish from being drawn through cooling water systems (entrainment). Facilities will be required to implement Best Technology Available (BTA) as soon as possible, but may request additional time, no later than 8-years after the final rule effective date. The company continues to evaluate the impact of this regulation, and at this time does not anticipate it having a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On June 14, 2013, two administrative appeals were filed by the Sierra Club and Delaware Audubon regarding a permit Delaware City Refining Company LLC (“DCR”) obtained to allow loading of crude oil onto barges.  The

21

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

appeals allege that both the loading of crude oil onto barges and the operation of the Delaware City rail unloading terminal violate Delaware’s Coastal Zone Act. The first appeal is Number 2013-1 before the State Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board (the “CZ Board”), and the second appeal is before the Environmental Appeals Board and appeals Secretary’s Order No. 2013-A-0020.  The CZ Board held a hearing on the first appeal on July 16, 2013, and ruled in favor of DCR and the State of Delaware and dismissed Appellants’ appeal for lack of standing.  Sierra Club and Delaware Audubon have appealed that decision to the Delaware Superior Court, New Castle County, Case No. N13A-09-001 ALR, and DCR and the State have filed cross-appeals.  Briefs have been filed in this appeal but no date has been set for a decision by the Superior Court.  A hearing on the second appeal before the Environmental Appeals Board, case no. 2013-06, was held on January 13, 2014, and the Board ruled in favor of DCR and the State and dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  A written decision by the Board has been issued and the Appellants have the right to appeal the decision to Superior Court.  If the Appellants in one or both of these matters ultimately prevail, the outcome may have an adverse material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

The Company is also currently subject to certain other existing environmental claims and proceedings. The Company believes that there is only a remote possibility that future costs related to any of these other known contingent liability exposures would have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

PBF LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement
The holders of limited liability company interests in PBF LLC, including PBF Energy, generally have to include for purposes of calculating their U.S. federal, state and local income taxes their share of any taxable income of PBF LLC, regardless of whether such holders receive cash distributions from PBF LLC. PBF Energy may not receive cash distributions from PBF LLC equal to its share of such taxable income or even equal to the actual tax due with respect to that income. Taxable income of PBF LLC generally is allocated to the holders of PBF LLC units (including PBF Energy) pro rata in accordance with their respective share of the net profits and net losses of PBF LLC. In general, PBF LLC is required to make periodic tax distributions to the members of PBF LLC, including PBF Energy, pro rata in accordance with their respective percentage interests for such period (as determined under the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC), subject to available cash and applicable law and contractual restrictions (including pursuant to our debt instruments) and based on certain assumptions. Generally, these tax distributions are required to be in an amount equal to our estimate of the taxable income of PBF LLC for the year multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in New York, New York (taking into account the nondeductibility of certain expenses). If, with respect to any given calendar year, the aggregate periodic tax distributions were less than the actual taxable income of PBF LLC multiplied by the assumed tax rate, PBF LLC is required to make a “true up” tax distribution, no later than March 15 of the following year, equal to such difference, subject to the available cash and borrowings of PBF LLC.
Tax Receivable Agreement
PBF Energy entered into a tax receivable agreement with the PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B Unit holders (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by PBF Energy to such persons of an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that PBF Energy is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis, as described below, and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the benefit deemed realized by PBF Energy will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of PBF Energy (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that PBF Energy would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC as a result of purchases or exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy's Class A common stock and had PBF Energy not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless: (i) PBF Energy exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) PBF Energy breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or (iii) certain changes of control occur, in which case all

22

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT, PER SHARE, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally be accelerated and due as calculated under certain assumptions.

The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are obligations of PBF Energy and not of PBF LLC or PBF Holding. In general, PBF Energy expects to obtain funding for these annual payments from PBF LLC, primarily through tax distributions. PBF LLC will cause PBF Holding to distribute cash to PBF LLC to make such distributions on a pro-rata basis to its owners. Such owners include PBF Energy, which holds a 71.9% interest as of March 31, 2014 (40.9% as of December 31, 2013).

10. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
With respect to dividends and distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2014, PBF Holding paid $29,661 in distributions to PBF LLC. PBF LLC used $29,065 of this amount in total to make non-tax distributions of $0.30 per unit to its members, of which $16,401 was distributed to PBF Energy and the balance was distributed to its other members on March 14, 2014. PBF Energy used this $16,401 to pay cash dividends of $0.30 per share of Class A common stock on March 14, 2014. PBF LLC used the remaining net $596, from PBF Holding's distribution to make tax distributions to its members, including PBF Energy, during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The valuation methods used to measure financial instruments at fair value are as follows:
Money market funds categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices and included within cash and cash equivalents.
Non-qualified pension plan assets categorized in Level 1 of the hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based on published net asset values of mutual funds and included within deferred charges and other assets, net.
The commodity contracts categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in an active market. The commodity contracts categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon future commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.
The commodity contracts categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy consist of commodity price swap contracts that relate to forecasted purchases of crude oil for which quoted forward market prices are not readily available due to market illiquidity. The forward price used to value these swaps was derived using broker quotes, prices from other third party sources and other available market based data.
The derivatives included with inventory supply arrangement obligations, derivatives included with inventory intermediation agreement obligations and the catalyst lease obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.

The table below summarizes the changes in fair value measurements of commodity contracts categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:

(a) The estimated fair value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, was calculated based on the present value of future expected payments utilizing implied current market interest rates based on quoted prices of the senior secured notes.
(b) The estimated fair value approximates carrying value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, as these borrowings bear interest based upon short-term floating market interest rates.
(c) Catalyst leases are valued using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets and are categorized as a Level 2 measurement. The Company has elected the fair value option for accounting for its catalyst lease repurchase obligations as the Company's liability is directly impacted by the change in fair value of the underlying catalyst.

13. DERIVATIVES
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures to commodity price risk. The Company’s crude supply agreements contain purchase obligations for certain volumes of crude oil and other feedstocks. In addition, the Company entered into Inventory Intermediation Agreements commencing in July 2013 that contain purchase obligations for certain volumes of intermediates and refined products. The purchase obligations related to crude oil, feedstocks, intermediates and refined products under these agreements are derivative instruments that have been designated as fair value hedges in order to hedge the commodity price volatility of certain refinery inventory. The fair value of these purchase obligation derivatives is based on market prices of the underlying crude oil and refined products. The level of activity for these derivatives is based on the level of operating inventories.

As of March 31, 2014, there were 697,550 barrels of crude oil and feedstocks (838,829 barrels at December 31, 2013) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges and no barrels (no barrels at December 31, 2013) outstanding under these derivative instruments not designated as hedges. As of March 31, 2014, there were 3,511,926 barrels of intermediates and refined products (3,274,047 barrels at December 31, 2013) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges and no barrels (no barrels at December 31, 2013) outstanding under these derivative instruments not designated as hedges. These volumes represent the notional value of the contract.

The Company also enters into economic hedges primarily consisting of commodity derivative contracts that are not designated as hedges and are used to manage price volatility in certain crude oil and feedstock inventories as well as crude oil, feedstock, and refined product sales or purchases. The objective in entering into economic hedges is consistent with the objectives discussed above for fair value hedges. As of March 31, 2014, there were 91,730,000 barrels of crude oil and no barrels of refined products (43,199,000 and 0, respectively, as of December 31, 2013),

Represents the elimination of the noncontrolling interest associated with the ownership by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy as if such members had fully exchanged their Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy's Class A common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The potential conversion of 42,707,005 PBF LLC Series A Units were excluded from the denominator in computing diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 because including them would have had an antidilutive effect. As the PBF LLC Series A Units were not included, the numerator used in the calculation of diluted net income per share was equal to the numerator used in the calculation of basic net income per share and does not include the net income and income tax attributable to the net income associated with the potential conversion of the PBF LLC Series A Units.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of PBF Energy Inc. and PBF Holding Company LLC included in the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the unaudited financial statements and related notes included in this report. The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events may, and often do, vary from actual results and the differences can be material. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
 
Explanatory Note
PBF Energy is the sole managing member of PBF LLC. PBF Energy owned an equity interest representing approximately 40.9% of the outstanding economic interests in PBF LLC at December 31, 2013. Subsequent to the January and March 2014 secondary offerings, its economic interests increased to approximately 71.9% as of March 31, 2014. PBF Holding is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF LLC and PBF Finance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding. PBF Holding is the parent company for PBF LLC's operating subsidiaries.
PBF Holding is an indirect subsidiary of PBF Energy, representing 100% of PBF Energy’s consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. PBF Holding also constitutes 100% of PBF Energy’s revenue generating assets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to both PBF Energy and PBF Holding and subsidiaries, as the financial information is materially consistent. Discussions or areas of this report that either apply only to PBF Energy or PBF Holding are clearly noted in such sections.

Overview
We are one of the largest independent petroleum refiners and suppliers of unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants and other petroleum products in the United States. We sell our products throughout the Northeast and Midwest of the United States, as well as in other regions of the United States and Canada, and are able to ship products to other international destinations. We were formed in 2008 to pursue acquisitions of crude oil refineries and downstream assets in North America. We currently own and operate three domestic oil refineries and related assets, which we acquired in 2010 and 2011. Our refineries have a combined processing capacity, known as throughput, of approximately 540,000 barrels per day ("bpd"), and a weighted-average Nelson Complexity Index of 11.3.

Our three refineries are located in Toledo, Ohio, Delaware City, Delaware and Paulsboro, New Jersey. Our Mid-Continent refinery at Toledo processes light, sweet crude, has a throughput capacity of 170,000 bpd and a Nelson Complexity Index of 9.2. The majority of Toledo’s WTI-based crude is delivered via pipelines that originate in both Canada and the United States. Since our acquisition of Toledo in 2011, we have added additional truck and rail crude unloading capabilities that provide feedstock sourcing flexibility for the refinery and enables Toledo to run a more cost-advantaged crude slate. Our East Coast refineries at Delaware City and Paulsboro have a combined refining capacity of 370,000 bpd and Nelson Complexity Indices of 11.3 and 13.2, respectively. These high-conversion refineries process primarily medium and heavy, sour crudes and have historically received the bulk of their feedstock via ships and barges on the Delaware River.

During 2012 and 2013, we expanded and upgraded existing on-site railroad infrastructure at our Delaware City refinery, including the expansion of the crude rail unloading facilities. Currently, crude delivered to this facility is consumed at our Delaware City refinery. We also transport some of the crude delivered by rail from Delaware City via barge to our Paulsboro refinery or other third party destinations. In the first quarter of 2014, we have continued projects to add additional unloading spots to the dual-loop track, which will increase its unloading

37


capability from 105,000 bpd to 130,000 bpd, and to expand the heavy crude rail unloading capability at the refinery from 40,000 bpd to 80,000 bpd. We expect these projects to bring total rail crude unloading capability up to 210,000 bpd by the end of 2014, subject to the delivery of coiled and insulated railcars, the development of crude rail loading infrastructure in Canada and the use of unit trains. The Delaware City rail unloading facility allows our East Coast refineries to source West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") price-based crudes from Western Canada and the Mid-Continent, which we believe provides significant cost advantages versus traditional Brent based international crudes.

Recent Developments
On April 30, 2014, PBF Energy's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary and PBF Holding 's direct wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Logistics LP (the “Partnership”), announced that the Partnership has commenced an initial public offering of common units representing limited partner interests pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Overview— Net income for PBF Energy was $183.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to net income of $69.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net income attributable to PBF Energy was $77.4 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 ($1.44 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis based on adjusted pro forma net income as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) compared to net income attributable to PBF Energy of $11.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 ($0.48 per share on a fully exchanged, fully diluted basis). The net income attributable to PBF Energy represents PBF Energy’s equity interest in PBF LLC’s pre-tax income, less applicable income tax expense. PBF Energy's weighted-average equity interest in PBF LLC was 55.6% and 24.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net income for PBF Holding, which does not include income tax expense, was $232.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to net income of $77.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Our results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were positively impacted by favorable movements in crude differentials, partially offset by higher operating expenses due to increased energy costs and lower throughput primarily due to reduced run rates.

Revenues— Revenues totaled $4.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $4.8 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $0.1 billion, or 1.1%. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the total throughput rates in the East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 292,700 bpd and 138,200 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the total throughput rates at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 318,900 bpd, and 122,700 bpd, respectively. The decrease in throughput rates at our East Coast refineries in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily driven by unplanned down time at our Paulsboro refinery in January and a planned turnaround in March. The increase in throughput rates at our Mid-Continent refinery in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to the refinery's 18-day unplanned down time that occurred in the first quarter 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the total barrels sold at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 310,100 bpd and 148,400

40


bpd, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the total barrels sold at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 311,600 bpd and 147,800 bpd, respectively. Total barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside the refinery.
 
Gross Margin— Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $598.8 million, or $15.44 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $362.7 million, or $9.13 per barrel of throughput during the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $236.1 million. Gross margin, including refinery operating expenses and depreciation, totaled $300.1 million, or $7.74 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $133.0 million, or $3.34 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $167.1 million. The increase in gross refining margin and gross margin was primarily due to the result of favorable crude differentials and product margins and lower costs of compliance with the Renewable Fuels Standard which was $30.0 million and $36.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, partially offset by the production of low-value products such as sulfur, petroleum coke and fuel oils at our East Coast refineries that price at a substantial discount to light products. Gross margin was also negatively impacted by higher than anticipated energy costs as a result of the extreme cold weather experienced in the first quarter of 2014.

Average industry refining margins in the Mid-Continent were weaker during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. The WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was approximately $16.79 per barrel or 35.6% lower in the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $26.09 per barrel in the same period in 2013. While the price of WTI versus Dated Brent and other crude discounts narrowed during the first quarter of 2014, our refinery specific crude slate in the Mid-Continent benefited from an improving WTI/Syncrude differential, which averaged a discount of $0.99 per barrel in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to a premium of $3.33 per barrel in the first quarter of 2013, as well as relatively strong product margins on certain distillates.

The Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $11.41 per barrel, or 10.8%, lower in the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $12.79 per barrel in the same period in 2013. While the WTI/Dated Brent differential was $8.76 lower in the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, the Dated Brent/Maya differential was approximately $9.07 per barrel more favorable in the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. While a decrease in the WTI/Dated Brent crude differential can unfavorably impact our East Coast refineries, we significantly increased our shipments of rail-delivered WTI-based crudes from the Bakken and Western Canada by over 47,000 barrels per day or almost 88% versus the year-ago quarter, which had the overall effect of reducing our landed cost of crude oil processed at our East Coast refineries and increasing our gross refining margin and gross margin. Additionally, an increase in the Dated Brent/Maya crude differential, our proxy for the light/heavy crude differential, had a positive impact on our East Coast refineries, which can process a large slate of medium and heavy, sour crude oil that is priced at a discount to light, sweet crude oil.
 
Operating Expenses— Operating expenses totaled $268.9 million, or $6.93 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $206.0 million, or $5.19 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $62.9 million, or 30.5%. The increase in operating expenses is mainly attributable to an increase of approximately $48.0 million in energy and utilities costs primarily driven by higher natural gas prices as well as an increase of approximately $4.9 million in outside engineering and consulting fees related to refinery maintenance projects. The higher natural gas prices were temporary and driven by the extremely cold winter. Our operating expenses principally consist of salaries and employee benefits, maintenance, energy and catalyst and chemicals costs at our refineries.

General and Administrative Expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $36.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $30.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $6.5 million or 21.6%. The increase in general and administrative expenses primarily relates to higher

41


employee compensation expense of approximately $6.3 million, mainly related to increases in headcount, incentive compensation, and severance costs. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of the personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries.

Gain on Sale of Assets— Gain on sale of assets for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $0.2 million related to the sale of railcars which were subsequently leased back.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $33.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $26.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $6.7 million. The increase was primarily due to capital projects related to turnarounds completed in 2013, the expansion of the crude rail unloading facility at the Delaware City refinery and refinery optimization projects at Toledo.

Change in Fair Value of Catalyst Leases— Change in the fair value of catalyst leases represented a loss of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to a loss of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This loss relates to the change in value of the precious metals underlying the sale and leaseback of our refineries’ precious metals catalyst, which we are obligated to repurchase at fair market value on the lease termination dates.

Interest Expense, net— Interest expense totaled $25.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $21.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $3.7 million. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metals catalyst, interest expense incurred in connection with our crude and feedstock supply agreements with Statoil and MSCG, financing costs associated with the Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils, and the amortization of deferred financing costs.

Income Tax Expense— As PBF LLC is a limited liability company treated as a "flow-through" entity for income tax purposes, the members of PBF LLC are required to include their proportionate share of PBF LLC’s taxable income or loss on their respective tax returns. PBF LLC generally makes distributions to its members, per the terms of the PBF LLC limited liability agreement, related to such taxes. Effective with the completion of the initial public offering of PBF Energy, we recognize an income tax expense or benefit in our consolidated financial statements based on PBF Energy's allocable share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income (loss), which was approximately 55.6% and 24.4%, on a weighted-average basis for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. We do not recognize any income tax expense or benefit related to the noncontrolling interest of the other members in PBF LLC (although, as described elsewhere, we must make tax distributions to all members of PBF LLC under the terms of its amended and restated limited liability company agreement). PBF Energy's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 39.0% and 39.5%, respectively, reflecting tax benefit adjustments for discrete items related to changes in income tax provision estimates based on our income tax returns and changes in our effective state tax rates.

PBF Holding, as a limited liability company treated as a "flow-through" entity for income tax purposes, did not recognize a benefit or provision for income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Noncontrolling Interest— As a result of our initial public offering and the related reorganization transactions, PBF Energy became the sole managing member of, and has a controlling interest in, PBF LLC. As the sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the business and affairs of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries, and records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF LLC held by members other than PBF Energy. Noncontrolling interest on the consolidated statement of operations represents the portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interest in PBF LLC held by members other than PBF Energy. Noncontrolling interest on the balance sheet represents the portion of net assets of PBF Energy attributable to the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, based on the relative equity interest held by such members. The weighted-average equity

42


noncontrolling interest ownership percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately 44.4% and 75.6%, respectively. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest on our consolidated balance sheet attributable to the noncontrolling interest is not equal to the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage due to the effect of income taxes and related agreements that pertain solely to PBF Energy.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income
PBF Energy utilizes results presented on an Adjusted Pro Forma basis that reflects an assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of Class A common stock of PBF Energy. We believe that these Adjusted Pro Forma measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare PBF Energy results across different periods and to facilitate an understanding of our operating results. The differences between Adjusted Pro Forma and U.S. GAAP results are as follows:
1.
Assumed Exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. As a result of the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units, the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. Management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units.
2.
Income Taxes. Prior to the IPO we were organized as a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, and even after our IPO, not all of our earnings are subject to corporate-level income taxes. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Pro Forma tax provisions and earnings to assume that we had adopted our post-IPO corporate tax structure for all periods presented and are taxed as a C corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates. These assumptions are consistent with the assumption in clause 1 above that all PBF LLC Series A Units are exchanged for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock, as the assumed exchange would change the amount of our earnings that is subject to corporate income tax.
The following table reconciles our Adjusted Pro Forma results with our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Gross Refining Margin
Gross refining margin is defined as gross margin excluding depreciation and operating expense related to the refineries. We believe gross refining margin is an important measure of operating performance and provides useful information to investors because it is a better metric comparison for the industry refining margin benchmarks, as the refining margin benchmarks do not include a charge for refinery operating expenses and depreciation. In order to assess our operating performance, we compare our gross refining margin (revenue less cost of sales) to industry refining margin benchmarks and crude oil prices as defined in the table below.
Gross refining margin should not be considered an alternative to gross margin, operating income, net cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Gross refining margin presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define this term differently. The following table presents a reconciliation of gross refining margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, gross margin, on a historical basis, as applicable, for each of the periods indicated:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Our management uses EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to readily view operating trends, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations, and in communications with our board of directors, creditors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance. Our senior secured notes, revolving credit facility and other contractual obligations also include similar measures as a basis for certain covenants under those agreements which may differ from the Adjusted EBITDA definition described below.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in our industry. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA contains some, but not all, adjustments that are taken into account in the calculation of the components of various covenants in the agreements governing the senior secured notes and the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to operating income or net income as measures of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presented as, and should not be considered, an alternative to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before equity-based compensation expense, gains (losses) from certain derivative activities and contingent consideration and the non-cash change in the deferral of gross profit related to the sale of certain finished products. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA also has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include that Adjusted EBITDA:
does not reflect depreciation expense or our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
does not reflect realized and unrealized gains and losses from hedging activities, which may have a substantial impact on our cash flow;
does not reflect certain other non-cash income and expenses; and
excludes income taxes that may represent a reduction in available cash.

(1) Net income for PBF Holding for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $232,750 and $77,155, respectively, which excludes $49,679 and $7,444, respectively, of income tax expense of PBF Energy and includes $200 of interest expense related to the intercompany notes payable between PBF Holding and PBF Energy for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations and borrowing availability under our credit facilities, as more fully described below. We believe that our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our capital expenditure, working capital, dividend payments and debt service requirements, as well as PBF Energy's obligations under the tax receivable agreement, for the next twelve months. However, our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations depends, in part, on petroleum market pricing and general economic, political and other factors beyond our control. We are in compliance with all of the covenants, including financial covenants, for all of our debt agreements.
Cash Flow Analysis
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $260.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $211.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 included our net income of $183.3 million, plus net non-cash charges relating to depreciation and amortization of $34.8 million, change in deferred income taxes of $33.0 million, pension and other post retirement benefits costs of $4.8 million, changes in the fair value of our catalyst lease of $2.0 million and stock-based compensation of $1.4 million, partially offset by the

46


change in the fair value of our inventory repurchase obligations of $17.5 million and gain on sale of assets of $0.2 million. In addition, net changes in working capital reflected sources of cash of $18.9 million driven by the timing of inventory purchases and collections of accounts receivables. Our operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 included our net income of $69.7 million, plus net non-cash charges relating to depreciation and amortization of $28.1 million, change in deferred income taxes of $7.4 million, pension and other post retirement benefits costs of $4.2 million, changes in the fair value of our catalyst lease obligations of $1.3 million, stock-based compensation of $1.0 million and net cash provided in working capital of $107.4 million, partially offset by the change in the fair value of our inventory repurchase obligations of $8.2 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $52.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $59.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The net cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was comprised of capital expenditures totaling $60.1 million, expenditures for turnarounds of $23.1 million and expenditures for other assets of $7.2 million, partially offset by $37.8 million in proceeds from the sale of railcars. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 consisted primarily of the capital expenditures totaling $56.2 million, expenditures for turnarounds of $2.2 million and expenditures for other assets of $0.8 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $47.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $33.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash used in financing activities consisted primarily of distributions and dividends of $29.7 million, $15.0 million of net repayments of revolver borrowings and $3.1 million for deferred financing and other costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net cash from financing activities consisted primarily of distributions and dividends of $33.0 million and deferred financing and other costs of $0.7 million.

The cash flow activity of PBF Holding is materially consistent for March 31, 2014 with that discussed above. The cash flow activity of PBF Holding is materially consistent for March 31, 2013 with that discussed above, other than the PBF Holding change in due to/due from related party of $27.2 million included in cash flows from operating activities not discussed above.
Working Capital
Working capital for PBF Energy at March 31, 2014 was $723.2 million, consisting of $2,365.8 million in total current assets and $1,642.6 million in total current liabilities. Working capital at December 31, 2013 was $556.0 million, consisting of $2,200.5 million in total current assets and $1,644.5 million in total current liabilities.

Working capital for PBF Holding at March 31, 2014 was $738.7 million, consisting of $2,353.2 million in total current assets and $1,614.4 million in total current liabilities. Working capital at December 31, 2013 was $541.9 million, consisting of $2,175.0 million in total current assets and $1,633.0 million in total current liabilities.
    
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2014, our total liquidity was approximately $954.7 million, compared to total liquidity of approximately $615.9 million as of December 31, 2013. Total liquidity is the sum of our cash and cash equivalents plus the amount of availability under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility.

Capital Spending
Net capital spending was $52.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which primarily included turnaround costs, safety related enhancements and facility improvements at the refinery and the continued expansion of the rail unloading facility at our Delaware City refinery. We currently expect to spend an aggregate

47


of approximately $275 million in net capital expenditures during 2014 for facility improvements, refinery maintenance and turnaround and further expansion of the rail unloading facility at our Delaware City refinery.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2014, other than outstanding letters of credit in the amount of approximately $341.8 million.

On March 28, 2014, we sold 264 of our owned crude railcars and concurrently entered into a lease agreement for the same railcars.  The lease agreement has six-year terms for the railcars. We received a cash payment for the railcars of approximately $37.8 million and expect to make payments totaling $22.1 million over the term of the lease for these railcars.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we entered into additional railcar leases with terms of up to 10 years. We expect to make lease payments of $54.3 million over the term of these additional agreements.

Tax Receivable Agreement Obligations
We expect that the payments that we may make under the tax receivable agreement will be substantial. As of March 31, 2014, we have recognized a liability for the tax receivable agreement of $509.2 million reflecting our estimate of the undiscounted amounts that we expect to pay under the agreement due to exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy's Class A common stock that occurred prior to that date, and to range over the next five years from approximately $12.5 million to $47.2 million per year and decline thereafter. In addition, under certain circumstances, our obligations under the tax receivable agreement may be accelerated and determined based on certain assumptions set forth therein. Assuming that the market value of a share of our Class A common stock equals $25.80 per share of Class A common stock (the closing price on March 31, 2014) and that LIBOR were to be 1.85%, we estimate as of March 31, 2014 that the aggregate amount of these accelerated payments would have been approximately $629.0 million if triggered immediately on such date. These payment obligations are obligations of PBF Energy and not of PBF LLC or any of its subsidiaries, although because PBF Energy is a holding company with no operations of its own, PBF Energy's ability to make payments under the tax receivable agreement is dependent upon a number of factors, including its subsidiaries' ability to make distributions for the benefit of PBF LLC's members, including PBF Energy, its ability, if necessary, to finance its obligations under the tax receivable agreement and existing indebtedness which may limit PBF Energy's subsidiaries' ability to make distributions.

Future payments under the tax receivable agreement by us in respect of subsequent exchanges would be in addition to these amounts and are expected to be substantial. The foregoing numbers are merely estimates-the actual payments could differ materially-and assume no material changes in the relevant tax law, and that we earn sufficient taxable income to realize all tax benefits that are subject to the tax receivable agreement. It is possible that future transactions or events could increase or decrease the actual tax benefits realized and the corresponding tax receivable agreement payments.

Dividend and Distribution Policy
With respect to dividends and distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2014, PBF Holding paid $29.7 million in distributions to PBF LLC. PBF LLC used $29.1 million of this amount in total to make a non-tax distribution of $0.30 per unit to its members, of which $16.4 million was distributed to PBF Energy and the balance was distributed to PBF LLC's other members. PBF Energy used this $16.4 million to pay cash dividends of $0.30 per share of Class A common stock on March 14, 2014. PBF LLC used the remaining net $0.6 million, from PBF Holding's distribution to make tax distributions to its members, including PBF Energy, during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
    

48


On April 28, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.30 per share on outstanding Class A common stock. The dividend is payable on May 29, 2014 to Class A common stockholders of record at the close of business on May 12, 2014.

PBF Energy currently intends to pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share of Class A common stock. The declaration, amount and payment of this and any other future dividends on shares of Class A common stock will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors, and we are not obligated under any applicable laws, our governing documents or any contractual agreements with our existing owners or otherwise to declare or pay any dividends or other distributions (other than the obligations of PBF LLC to make tax distributions to its members).

As of March 31, 2014, PBF Holding had $954.7 million of unused borrowing availability, which includes our cash and cash equivalents of $237.1 million, under our ABL Revolving Credit Facility to fund its operations, if necessary. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2014, there was sufficient cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under our credit facilities available to PBF Holding to make distributions to PBF LLC, in order for PBF LLC to make pro rata distributions to its members, including PBF Energy, necessary to fund in excess of one year’s cash dividend payments by PBF Energy. PBF Holding would have been permitted under its debt agreements to make these distributions; however, its ability to continue to comply with its debt covenants is, to a significant degree, subject to its operating results, which are dependent on a number of factors outside of our control. We believe our and our subsidiaries' available cash and cash equivalents, other sources of liquidity to operate our business and operating performance provides us with a reasonable basis for our assessment that we can support our intended dividend and distribution policy.

Iran Sanctions Compliance Disclosure
Under the Iran Threat Reduction and Syrian Human Rights Act of 2012 ("ITRA"), which added Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act, we are required to include certain disclosures in our periodic reports if we or any of our “affiliates” knowingly engaged in certain specified activities during the period covered by the report. Because the SEC defines the term “affiliate” broadly, it may include any entity controlled by us as well as any person or entity that controls us or is under common control with us (“control” is also construed broadly by the SEC). Neither we nor any of our controlled affiliates or subsidiaries have knowingly engaged in any transaction or dealing reportable under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act during the reporting period.

Funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) are holders of approximately 26.8% of the outstanding voting interests of PBF Energy and have nominated three of the current directors on PBF Energy's Board of Directors. Accordingly, Blackstone may be deemed an “affiliate” of PBF Energy, as that term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2.  We received notice from Blackstone that it has included the disclosures described below in its SEC filings pursuant to ITRA regarding one of its portfolio companies that may be deemed to be affiliates of Blackstone. Because of the broad definition of “affiliate” in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2, these portfolio companies of Blackstone, through Blackstone's ownership of PBF Energy, may also be deemed to be affiliates of ours.  We have not independently verified the disclosures described in the following paragraphs.

We have received notice from Blackstone that Travelport Limited ("Travelport"), as part of their global business in the travel industry, provides certain passenger travel related GDS and airline IT services to Iran Air and certain airline IT services to Iran Air Tours. All of these services are either exempt from applicable sanctions prohibitions pursuant to a statutory exemption in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act permitting transactions ordinarily incident to travel or, to the extent not otherwise exempt, specifically licensed by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). Subject to any changes in the exempt/licensed status of such activities, Travelport intends to continue these business activities, which are directly related to and promote the arrangement of travel for individuals.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks, including changes in commodity prices and interest rates. Our primary commodity price risk is associated with the difference between the prices we sell our refined products and the prices we pay for crude oil and other feedstocks. We may use derivative instruments to manage the risks from changes in the prices of crude oil and refined products, interest rates, or to capture market opportunities.

Commodity Price Risk
Our earnings, cash flow and liquidity are significantly affected by a variety of factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, other feedstocks, refined products and natural gas. The supply of and demand for these commodities depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, planned and unplanned downtime in refineries, pipelines and production facilities, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive and alternative fuels, and the extent of government regulation. As a result, the prices of these commodities can be volatile. Our revenues fluctuate significantly with movements in industry refined product prices, our cost of sales fluctuates significantly with movements in crude oil and feedstock prices and our operating expenses fluctuate with movements in the price of natural gas. We manage our exposure to these commodity price risks through our supply and offtake agreements as well as through the use of various commodity derivative instruments.
Certain of our crude and feedstock supply agreements and products offtake agreements, reduce the time we are exposed to market price fluctuations. For example, our crude and feedstock supply agreements with Statoil allow us to take title to and price our crude oil at locations in close proximity to our refineries, as opposed to the crude oil origination point. The crude supply agreement with MSCG for our Toledo refinery allows us to price and pay for our crude oil as it is processed at that refinery. In addition, the products offtake agreements with MSCG for our Delaware City and Paulsboro refineries that were terminated effective July 1, 2013, allowed us to sell our light finished products, certain intermediates and lube base oils as they were produced. Subsequent to termination of the MSCG products offtake agreements, we independently sell and market our refined products to customers on the spot market or through term agreements.
We may use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of crude oil and feedstocks, finished products and natural gas outside of our supply and offtake agreements. The derivative instruments we use include physical commodity contracts and exchange-traded and over-the-counter financial instruments. We mark-to-market our commodity derivative instruments and recognize the changes in their fair value in our statements of operations.
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had gross open commodity derivative contracts representing 91.7 million barrels and 43.2 million barrels, respectively, with an unrealized net gain (loss) of $28.0 million and $(19.4) million, respectively. The open commodity derivative contracts as of March 31, 2014 expire at various times during 2014.
We carry inventories of crude oil, intermediates and refined products (“hydrocarbon inventories”) on our balance sheet, the values of which are subject to fluctuations in market prices. Our hydrocarbon inventories totaled approximately 15.3 million barrels and 13.9 million barrels at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The average cost of our hydrocarbon inventories was approximately $98.55 and $101.65 per barrel on a LIFO basis at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. If market prices decline to a level below the average cost, we may be required to write down the carrying value of our hydrocarbon inventories to market.
Our predominant variable operating cost is energy, which is comprised primarily of natural gas and electricity. We are therefore sensitive to movements in natural gas prices. Assuming normal operating conditions, we annually consume a total of approximately 37 million MMBTUs of natural gas amongst our three refineries. Accordingly, a $1.00 per MMBTU change in natural gas prices would increase or decrease our natural gas costs by approximately $37 million.


50


Compliance Program Price Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. Our overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of our domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by the EPA. To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RINs obligation, we must purchase RINs on the open market. To mitigate the impact of this risk on our results of operations and cash flows we may purchase RINs when the price of these instruments is deemed favorable.

Interest Rate Risk
During 2013, we amended the terms of our ABL Revolving Credit Facility to increase the size of our asset-based revolving credit facility from $1.575 to $1.610 billion. Borrowings under our ABL Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus 1.75% to 2.50%, depending on our debt rating. If this facility were fully drawn, a one percent change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by $16.1 million annually.
We also have interest rate exposure in connection with our Statoil and MSCG crude oil agreements and J. Aron Inventory Intermediation Agreements under which we pay a time value of money charge based on LIBOR.

Credit Risk
We are subject to risk of losses resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our counterparties. We will continue to closely monitor the creditworthiness of customers to whom we grant credit and establish credit limits in accordance with our credit policy.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
PBF Energy and PBF Holding maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information which is required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including PBF Energy's and PBF Holding's principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our system of disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of March 31, 2014. Based on that evaluation, PBF Energy's and PBF Holding's principal executive officer and the principal financial officer have concluded that PBF Energy's and PBF Holding's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management has not identified any changes in PBF Energy's or PBF Holding's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, either entity's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On June 14, 2013, two administrative appeals were filed by the Sierra Club and Delaware Audubon regarding a permit Delaware City Refining Company LLC (“DCR”) obtained to allow loading of crude oil onto barges.  The appeals allege that both the loading of crude oil onto barges and the operation of the Delaware City rail unloading terminal violate Delaware’s Coastal Zone Act. The first appeal is Number 2013-1 before the State Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board (the “CZ Board”), and the second appeal is before the Environmental Appeals Board and appeals Secretary’s Order No. 2013-A-0020.  The CZ Board held a hearing on the first appeal on July 16, 2013, and ruled in favor of DCR and the State of Delaware and dismissed Appellants’ appeal for lack of standing.  Sierra Club and Delaware Audubon have appealed that decision to the Delaware Superior Court, New Castle County, Case No. N13A-09-001 ALR, and DCR and the State have filed cross-appeals.  Briefs have been filed in this appeal but no date has been set for a decision by the Superior Court.  A hearing on the second appeal before the Environmental Appeals Board, case no. 2013-06, was held on January 13, 2014, and the Board ruled in favor of DCR and the State and dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  A written decision by the Board has been issued and the Appellants have the right to appeal the decision to Superior Court.  If the Appellants in one or both of these matters ultimately prevail, the outcome may have an adverse material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. 
On July 24, 2013, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control ("DNREC") issued a Notice of Administrative Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order to Delaware City Refining Company LLC for alleged air emission violations that occurred during the re-start of the refinery in 2011 and subsequent to the re-start. The penalty assessment seeks $460,200 in penalties and $69,030 in cost recovery for DNREC’s expenses associated with investigation of the incidents. We dispute the amount of the penalty assessment and allegations made in the order, and are in discussions with DNREC to resolve the assessment.

Item 2. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities - Exchange of PBF LLC Series A Unites to Class A Common Stock
In the first quarter of 2014, a total of 677 PBF LLC Series A Units were exchanged for 677 shares of our Class A common stock in transactions exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We received no other consideration in connection with these exchanges. No exchanges were made by any of our directors or executive officers.
On January 6, 2014, Blackstone and First Reserve completed a public offering of 15,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $28.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions, in a secondary public offering. All of the shares were sold by funds affiliated with Blackstone and First Reserve, subject to the rights of the holders of PBF LLC Series B Units to share in a portion of the profits realized by the funds affiliated with Blackstone and First Reserve upon the sale of the shares. In connection with this offering, Blackstone and First Reserve exchanged 15,000,000 Series A Units of PBF LLC for an equivalent number of shares of our Class A common stock in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
Additionally, on March 26, 2014, First Reserve completed a public offering of 15,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $25.39 per share, which includes underwriting discounts and commissions, in a secondary public offering. All of the shares were sold by funds affiliated with First Reserve, subject to the rights of the holders of PBF LLC Series B Units to share in a portion of the profits realized by the funds affiliated with First Reserve upon the sale of the shares. In connection with this offering, In connection with this offering, First Reserve exchanged 15,000,000 Series A Units of PBF LLC for an equivalent number of shares of our Class A common stock in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
