FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

On March 14, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), HollyFrontier Corporation (“HollyFrontier”) and Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”) announced the establishment of HF Sinclair Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“HF Sinclair”), as the new parent holding company of HollyFrontier and HEP and their subsidiaries, and the completion of their respective acquisitions (the “Sinclair Transactions”) of Sinclair Oil Corporation (now known as Sinclair Oil LLC) and Sinclair Transportation Company LLC (“STC”) from The Sinclair Companies (now known as REH Company and referred to herein as “REH Company”).

References herein to HF Sinclair, “we,” “our,” “ours,” and “us” with respect to time periods prior to March 14, 2022 refer to HollyFrontier and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not include Sinclair Holding LLC, STC or their respective consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Acquired Sinclair Businesses”). References herein to HF Sinclair, “we,” “our,” “ours,” and “us” with respect to time periods from and after March 14, 2022 include the operations of the Acquired Sinclair Businesses. Unless otherwise specified, the financial statements included herein include financial information for HF Sinclair, which for the time period from March 14, 2022 to September 30, 2023 includes the combined business operations of HollyFrontier and its consolidated subsidiaries and the Acquired Sinclair Businesses.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, those under “Results of Operations,” “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Risk Management” in Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and those in Part II, Item 1 “Legal Proceedings” are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements use words such as “anticipate,” “project,” “will,” “expect,” “plan,” “goal,” “forecast,” “strategy,” “intend,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “believe,” “may,” and similar expressions and statements regarding our plans and objectives for future operations. These statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions using currently available information and expectations as of the date hereof, are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Unless specifically noted, all statements concerning our expectations for future results of operations are based on forecasts for our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will prove to be correct. Therefore, actual outcomes and results could materially differ from what is expressed, implied or forecast in these statements. Any differences could be caused by a number of factors including, but not limited to:

the risk that the HEP Merger Transaction (as defined herein) is not consummated during the expected timeframe, or at all;
failure to obtain the required approvals for the HEP Merger Transaction, including the ability to obtain the requisite approvals from our stockholders or HEP unitholders;
the substantial transaction-related costs that may be incurred by us and HEP in connection with the HEP Merger Transaction;
the risk that the market value of our common stock will decline;
potential dilution on our earnings per share of our common stock;
the possibility that financial projections by us and HEP may not prove to be reflective of actual future results;
the focus of management time and attention on the HEP Merger Transaction and other disruptions arising from the HEP Merger Transaction, which may make it more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers;
legal proceedings that may be instituted against us or HEP in connection with the HEP Merger Transaction;
limitations on our ability to effectuate share repurchases due to market conditions and corporate, tax, regulatory and other considerations;
our and HEP’s ability to successfully integrate the Acquired Sinclair Businesses with our existing operations and fully realize the expected synergies of the Sinclair Transactions or on the expected timeline;
our ability to successfully integrate the operation of the Puget Sound refinery with our existing operations;
the demand for and supply of crude oil and refined products, including uncertainty regarding the increasing societal expectations that companies address climate change;
risks and uncertainties with respect to the actions of actual or potential competitive suppliers and transporters of refined petroleum products or lubricant and specialty products in our markets;
the spread between market prices for refined products and market prices for crude oil;
the possibility of constraints on the transportation of refined products or lubricant and specialty products;

NOTE 1:Description of Business and Presentation of Financial Statements

On March 14, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), HollyFrontier Corporation (“HollyFrontier”) and Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”) announced the establishment of HF Sinclair Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“HF Sinclair”), as the new parent holding company of HollyFrontier and HEP and their subsidiaries, and the completion of their respective acquisitions of Sinclair Oil Corporation (now known as Sinclair Oil LLC) and Sinclair Transportation Company LLC (“STC”) from The Sinclair Companies (now known as REH Company and referred to herein as “REH Company”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2021 (as amended on March 14, 2022, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among HollyFrontier, HF Sinclair, Hippo Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (“Parent Merger Sub”), REH Company, and Hippo Holding LLC (now known as Sinclair Holding LLC), a wholly owned subsidiary of REH Company (the “Target Company”), HF Sinclair completed its previously announced acquisition of the Target Company by effecting (a) a holding company merger in accordance with Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law whereby HollyFrontier merged with and into Parent Merger Sub, with HollyFrontier surviving such merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (the “HFC Merger”) and (b) immediately following the HFC Merger, a contribution whereby REH Company contributed all of the equity interests of the Target Company to HF Sinclair in exchange for 60,230,036 shares of HF Sinclair common stock, resulting in the Target Company becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (the “HFC Transactions”). At the effective time of the HFC Merger, HollyFrontier became a wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair, and all of HollyFrontier’s outstanding shares were automatically converted into equivalent corresponding shares of HF Sinclair. Pursuant to the HFC Merger, HF Sinclair became the successor issuer to HollyFrontier pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and replaced HollyFrontier as the public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “DINO.” See Note 2 and Note 4 for additional information.

References herein to HF Sinclair, “we,” “our,” “ours,” and “us” with respect to time periods prior to March 14, 2022 refer to HollyFrontier and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not include Sinclair Holding LLC, STC or their respective consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Acquired Sinclair Businesses”). References herein to HF Sinclair, “we,” “our,” “ours,” and “us” with respect to time periods from and after March 14, 2022 include the operations of the Acquired Sinclair Businesses. Unless otherwise specified, the financial statements included herein include financial information for HF Sinclair, which for the time period from March 14, 2022 to September 30, 2023 includes the combined business operations of HollyFrontier and the Acquired Sinclair Businesses.

In these financial statements, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer only to HF Sinclair and its consolidated subsidiaries or to HF Sinclair or an individual subsidiary and not to any other person, with certain exceptions. Generally, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” include HEP and its subsidiaries as consolidated subsidiaries of HF Sinclair, unless when used in disclosures of transactions or obligations between HEP and HF Sinclair or its other subsidiaries. These financial statements contain certain disclosures of agreements that are specific to HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not necessarily represent obligations of HF Sinclair. When used in descriptions of agreements and transactions, “HEP” refers to HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We are an independent energy company that produces and markets high-value light products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, renewable diesel and other specialty products. We own and operate refineries located in Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Wyoming, Washington and Utah and market our refined products principally in the Southwest United States, the Rocky Mountains extending into the Pacific Northwest and in other neighboring Plains states. We supply high-quality fuels to more than 1,500 branded stations and license the use of the Sinclair brand at more than 300 additional locations throughout the country. In addition, our subsidiaries produce and market base oils and other specialized lubricants in the United States, Canada and the Netherlands, and export products to more than 80 countries. Through our subsidiaries, we produce renewable diesel at two of our facilities in Wyoming and our facility in New Mexico. At September 30, 2023, we owned a 47% limited partner interest and a non-economic general partner interest in HEP, a variable interest entity (“VIE”). HEP owns and operates logistic assets consisting of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines, terminals, tankage, loading rack facilities and refinery processing units that principally support our refining and marketing operations in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountains geographic regions of the United States.

On August 15, 2023, HF Sinclair entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with HEP, Navajo Pipeline Co., L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (“HoldCo”), Holly Apple Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Merger Sub”), HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the general partner of HEP (“HLH”), and Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of HLH (the “General Partner”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into HEP, with HEP surviving as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (such merger, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, being referred to herein as the “HEP Merger Transaction”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding common unit of HEP, other than the HEP common units already owned by HF Sinclair and its subsidiaries, will be converted into the right to receive 0.315 shares of HF Sinclair common stock and $4.00 in cash, without interest. Completion of the HEP Merger Transaction is subject to the approval of HF Sinclair stockholders and HEP unitholders and the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. The HEP Merger Transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023, assuming the satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions to the HEP Merger Transaction.

For a description of HF Sinclair’s and HEP’s existing indebtedness, as well as proposed changes thereto associated with the HEP Merger Transaction, see Note 10.

In connection with the HEP Merger Transaction, we incurred $4.2 million and $4.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, in incremental direct acquisition and integration costs that principally relate to legal, advisory and other professional fees and are presented as selling, general and administrative expenses in our statements of income.

We have prepared these consolidated financial statements without audit. In management’s opinion, these consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2023, the consolidated results of income, comprehensive income and statements of equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Although certain notes and other information required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, we believe that the disclosures in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 that has been filed with the SEC.

Accounts Receivable: Our accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from customers that are primarily from sales of refined products and renewable diesel. Credit is extended based on our evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and in certain circumstances collateral, such as letters of credit or guarantees, is required. We reserve for expected credit losses based on our historical loss experience as well as expected credit losses from current economic conditions and management’s expectations of future economic conditions. Credit losses are charged to the allowance for expected credit losses when an account is deemed uncollectible. Our allowance for expected credit losses was $7.2 million at September 30, 2023 and $7.7 million at December 31, 2022.

Inventories: Inventories related to our refining operations are stated at the lower of cost, using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for crude oil and unfinished and finished refined products, or market. Inventories related to our renewables business are stated at the lower of cost, using the LIFO method for feedstock and unfinished and finished renewable products, or market. In periods of rapidly declining prices, LIFO inventories may have to be written down to market value due to the higher costs assigned to LIFO layers in prior periods. In addition, the use of the LIFO inventory method may result in increases or decreases to cost of sales in years that inventory volumes decline as the result of charging cost of sales with LIFO inventory costs generated in prior periods. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Inventories of our Petro-Canada Lubricants and Sonneborn businesses are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, or net realizable value.

Inventories consisting of process chemicals, materials and maintenance supplies and RINs are stated at the lower of weighted-average cost or net realizable value.

HF SINCLAIR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Leases: At inception, we determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our payment obligation under the leasing arrangement. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to determine the present value of lease payments as most of our leases do not contain an implicit rate. Our IBR represents the interest rate which we would pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term in a similar economic environment. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable.

Operating leases are recorded in “Operating lease right-of-use assets” and current and noncurrent “Operating lease liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are included in “Properties, plants and equipment, at cost” and “Accrued liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet.

Our lease term includes an option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our balance sheet. For certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities. Also, as a lessee, we separate non-lease components that are identifiable and exclude them from the determination of net present value of lease payment obligations. In addition, HEP, as a lessor, does not separate the non-lease (service) component for operating leases in contracts in which the lease component is the dominant component. HEP treats these combined components as a lease. HEP bifurcates the consideration received for sales-type lease contracts between lease and service revenue, with the service component accounted for within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification 606.

Goodwill: As of September 30, 2023, our goodwill balance was $3.0 billion, with goodwill assigned to our Refining, Renewables, Marketing, Lubricants and Specialty Products and HEP segments. The carrying amount of our goodwill may fluctuate from period to period due to the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Our goodwill impairment testing first entails either a quantitative assessment or an optional qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we determine that based on the qualitative factors that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value, a quantitative test is performed in which we estimate the fair value of the related reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of that reporting unit is impaired, and we measure goodwill impairment as the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit over the related fair value.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment testing quantitatively as of July 1, 2023 and determined there was no impairment of goodwill attributable to our reporting units.

Revenue Recognition: Revenues on refined product, branded fuel sales, renewable diesel, and excess crude oil sales are recognized when delivered (via pipeline, in-tank or rack) and the customer obtains control of such inventory, which is typically when title passes and the customer is billed. All revenues are reported inclusive of shipping and handling costs billed and exclusive of any taxes billed to customers. Shipping and handling costs incurred are reported as cost of products sold.

Our lubricants and specialty products business has sales agreements with marketers and distributors that provide certain rights of return or provisions for the repurchase of products previously sold to them. Under these agreements, revenues and cost of revenues are deferred until the products have been sold to end customers. Our lubricants and specialty products business also has agreements that create an obligation to deliver products at a future date for which consideration has already been received and recorded as deferred revenue. This revenue is recognized when the products are delivered to the customer.

HEP recognizes revenues as products are shipped through its pipelines and terminals and as other services are rendered. Additionally, HEP has certain throughput agreements that specify minimum volume requirements, whereby HEP bills a customer for a minimum level of shipments in the event a customer ships below their contractual requirements. If there are no future performance obligations, HEP recognizes these deficiency payments as revenue. In certain of these throughput agreements, a customer may later utilize such shortfall billings as credit towards future volume shipments in excess of its minimum levels within its respective contractual shortfall make-up period. Such amounts represent an obligation to perform future services, which may be initially deferred and later recognized as revenue based on estimated future shipping levels, including the likelihood of a customer’s ability to utilize such amounts prior to the end of the contractual shortfall make-up period. HEP recognizes the service portion of these deficiency payments as revenue when HEP does not expect it will be required to satisfy these performance obligations in the future based on the pattern of rights exercised by the customer.

Payment terms under our contracts with customers are consistent with industry norms and are typically payable within 30 days of the date of invoice.

Foreign Currency Translation: Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using the weighted-average exchange rates during the period presented. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

We have intercompany notes that were issued to fund certain of our foreign businesses. Remeasurement adjustments resulting from the conversion of intercompany financing amounts to functional currencies are recorded as gains and losses as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of income. Such adjustments are not recorded to the Lubricants and Specialty Products segment operations, but to Corporate and Other. See Note 15 for additional information on our segments.

Income Taxes: Provisions for income taxes include deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences in income for financial and tax purposes, using the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method requires the effect of tax rate changes on deferred income taxes to be reflected in the period in which the rate change was enacted. The liability method also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance unless it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized. We account for U.S. tax on global intangible low-taxed income in the period in which it is incurred.

Potential interest and penalties related to income tax matters are recognized in income tax expense. We believe we have appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on our income tax returns and that our accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors, including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded an income tax expense of $480.6 million compared to $706.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was principally due to lower pre-tax income during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. Our effective tax rates were 21.6% and 22.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily due to the impact of federal tax credits and the relationship between pre-tax results and the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest that is not included in income for tax purposes. The difference in the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the impact of federal tax credits and the decrease in the state tax rate applied to our deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the Sinclair Transactions.

Inventory Repurchase Obligations: We periodically enter into same-party sell / buy transactions, whereby we sell certain refined product inventory and subsequently repurchase the inventory in order to facilitate delivery to certain locations. Such sell / buy transactions are accounted for as inventory repurchase obligations under which proceeds received under the initial sell is recognized as an inventory repurchase obligation that is subsequently reversed when the inventory is repurchased. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we received proceeds of $19.1 million and $31.8 million, respectively, and subsequently repaid $20.4 million and $32.2 million, respectively, under these sell / buy transactions.

NOTE 2:Acquisitions

On March 14, 2022, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, HF Sinclair completed its acquisition of the Target Company by effecting (a) the HFC Merger and (b) immediately following the HFC Merger, a contribution whereby REH Company contributed all of the equity interests of the Target Company to HF Sinclair in exchange for shares of HF Sinclair, resulting in the Target Company becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair.

In connection with the closing of the HFC Transactions, HF Sinclair issued 60,230,036 shares of HF Sinclair common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to REH Company, representing 27% of the pro forma equity of HF Sinclair with a value of approximately $2,149 million based on HollyFrontier’s fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding and closing stock price on March 11, 2022. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, REH Company made a $77.5 million cash payment to HF Sinclair, inclusive of final working capital adjustments, which reduced the aggregate transaction value to approximately $2,072 million. Of the 60,230,036 shares of HF Sinclair common stock, 2,570,000 shares are currently held in escrow to secure REH Company’s RINs credit obligations under Section 6.22 of the Business Combination Agreement. Additionally, on the Closing Date, and immediately prior to the consummation of the HFC Transactions, HEP completed its acquisition of STC, REH Company’s integrated crude and refined products midstream business, and issued 21,000,000 common limited partner units and paid cash consideration of $329.0 million, inclusive of final working capital adjustments, to REH Company in exchange for all the outstanding equity interests of STC (the “HEP Transaction” and together with the HFC Transactions, the “Sinclair Transactions”). Of these 21,000,000 common limited partner units, 5,290,000 units were held in escrow and were released to REH Company in April 2023 upon their satisfaction of the corresponding RINs credit obligations to HF Sinclair to secure REH Company’s RINs credit obligations under Section 6.22 of the Business Combination Agreement.

The Sinclair Transactions were accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition date fair values at the effective date, with the excess consideration recorded as goodwill.

The following tables present the purchase consideration and final purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on March 14, 2022:

The final purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $685.9 million in goodwill. Our Refining, Renewables, Marketing and HEP segments recognized $244.0 million, $159.0 million, $163.8 million and $119.1 million of goodwill, respectively. The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to operating and administrative synergies and net deferred tax liabilities arising from the differences between the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities and the tax basis of these assets and liabilities. There are qualitative assumptions of long-term factors that this acquisition creates for our stockholders, including increased scale and diversification that is expected to drive growth through the expanded refining and renewables businesses and the addition of an integrated branded wholesale distribution network. This goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The fair value measurements for properties, plants and equipment were based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, therefore, represent Level 3 measurements.

The fair value of properties, plants and equipment was based on the combination of the cost and market approaches. Key assumptions in the cost approach include determining the replacement cost by evaluating recent published data and adjusting replacement cost for physical deterioration, functional, and economic obsolescence. We used the market approach to measure the value of certain assets through an analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable properties. The fair value of crude oil and refined products inventory was based on market prices as of the acquisition date.

Intangibles include the Sinclair trade name, fuel agreements and customer relationships totaling $221.4 million that are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a range of four to twenty-year period. The intangible assets were valued using the income approach.

The fair value of equity method investments totaled $234.3 million and was based on a combination of valuation methods including discounted cash flows and the guideline public company method.

Accrued liabilities include $70.6 million of RINs credit obligations, including 2022 obligations through the Closing Date, which were valued based on market prices for RINs at the effective date, a Level 2 input. REH Company is financially responsible for satisfaction of RINs credit obligations for all periods prior to the closing. This receivable totaled $68.4 million and was valued based on market prices for RINs at the effective date.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we purchased RINs for an aggregate amount of $3.1 million and $14.9 million, respectively, on behalf of REH Company from third parties at applicable market prices in connection with our provision of services to REH Company under the transition services agreement that we and REH Company entered into at the closing of the Sinclair Transactions. We acted as an agent in these RINs transactions and did not recognize sales or cost of products sold as a result. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized sales of $21.2 million related to the sale of RINs to REH Company based on applicable market prices.

All other fair values discussed above were based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, therefore, represent Level 3 measurements.

The fair values of all other current receivable and payables were equivalent to their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

We incurred $2.4 million and $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $9.7 million and $48.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, in incremental direct acquisition and integration costs that principally relate to legal, advisory and other professional fees and are presented as selling, general and administrative expenses in our statements of income.


NOTE 3:Holly Energy Partners

HEP is a publicly held master limited partnership that owns and / or operates logistic and refinery assets consisting of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines, terminals, tankage, loading rack facilities and refinery processing units that principally support our refining and marketing operations, as well as other third-party refineries, in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountains geographic regions of the United States. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, HEP owned a 50% ownership interest in each of Osage Pipe Line Company, LLC, the owner of a pipeline running from Cushing, Oklahoma to El Dorado, Kansas (the “Osage Pipeline”); Cheyenne Pipeline, LLC, the owner of a pipeline running from Fort Laramie, Wyoming to Cheyenne, Wyoming (the “Cheyenne Pipeline”) and Cushing Connect Pipeline & Terminal LLC (“Cushing Connect”), the owner of a crude oil storage terminal in Cushing, Oklahoma and a pipeline that runs from Cushing, Oklahoma to our Tulsa West and Tulsa East facilities (collectively, the “Tulsa refineries”); a 25.06% ownership interest in Saddle Butte Pipeline III, LLC, the owner of a pipeline from the Powder River Basin to Casper, Wyoming (the “Saddle Butte Pipeline”); and a 49.995% ownership interest in Pioneer Investments Corp., the owner of a pipeline from Sinclair, Wyoming to the North Salt Lake City, Utah Terminal (the “Pioneer Pipeline”).

At September 30, 2023, we owned a 47% limited partner interest and a non-economic general partner interest in HEP. As the general partner of HEP, we have the sole ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact HEP’s financial performance, and therefore, as HEP’s primary beneficiary, we consolidate HEP.

HEP generates revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through its pipelines, by charging fees for terminalling refined products and other hydrocarbons, and by storing and providing other services at its storage tanks and terminals. Under our long-term transportation agreements with HEP (discussed further below), we accounted for 81% of HEP’s total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We do not provide financial or equity support through any liquidity arrangements and / or debt guarantees to HEP.

HEP has outstanding debt under its senior secured revolving credit agreement and its senior notes. HEP’s creditors have no recourse to our assets. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries. See Note 10 for a description of HEP’s debt obligations.

HEP has risk associated with its operations. If a major customer of HEP were to terminate its contracts or fail to meet desired shipping or throughput levels for an extended period of time, revenue would be reduced and HEP could suffer substantial losses to the extent that a new customer is not found. In the event that HEP incurs a loss, our operating results will reflect HEP’s loss, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in HEP at that point in time.

STC Acquisition

On August 2, 2021, HEP, REH Company and STC, a wholly owned subsidiary of REH Company, entered into a contribution agreement (as amended on March 14, 2022, the “Contribution Agreement”), which closed on March 14, 2022. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, HEP acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of STC in exchange for 21,000,000 newly issued common limited partner units of HEP with a value of approximately $349.0 million based on HEP’s fully diluted common limited partner units outstanding and HEP’s closing unit price on March 11, 2022, and cash consideration equal to $329.0 million, inclusive of final working capital adjustments pursuant to the Contribution Agreement for an aggregate transaction value of $678.0 million.

As a result of this common unit issuance and our resulting HEP ownership change, we adjusted additional capital and equity attributable to HEP’s noncontrolling interest holders to reallocate HEP’s equity among its unitholders.

As part of HEP’s acquisition of STC, HEP acquired the 25.0% non-operated interest of UNEV Pipeline, LLC (“UNEV”) not already owned by HEP and as such, UNEV, the owner of a pipeline running from Woods Cross, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada and associated product terminals, became a wholly owned subsidiary of HEP.

Transportation Agreements
HEP serves our refineries under long-term pipeline, terminal and tankage throughput agreements and refinery processing tolling agreements expiring from 2024 through 2037. Under these agreements, we pay HEP fees to transport, store and process throughput volumes of refined products, crude oil and feedstocks on HEP's pipelines, terminals, tankage, loading rack facilities and refinery processing units that result in minimum annual payments to HEP. Under these agreements, the agreed upon tariff rates are subject to annual tariff rate adjustments on July 1 at a rate based upon the percentage change in Producer Price Index or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission index. As of September 30, 2023, these agreements require minimum annualized payments to HEP of $496.5 million.

Our transactions with HEP and fees paid under our transportation agreements with HEP are eliminated and have no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Lessor Accounting
Our consolidated statements of income reflect lease revenue recognized by HEP for contracts with third parties in which HEP is the lessor.

As of September 30, 2023, we have long-term contracts with customers that specify minimum volumes of gasoline, diesel, lubricants and specialty products to be sold ratably at market prices through 2032. Future prices are subject to market fluctuations and therefore, we have elected the exemption to exclude variable consideration under these contracts under Accounting Standards Codification 606-10-50-14A.

NOTE 5:Fair Value Measurements

Our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of derivative instruments and RINs receivable and credit obligations.

Fair value measurements are derived using inputs (assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk). GAAP categorizes inputs used in fair value measurements into three broad levels as follows:

(Level 1) Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
(Level 2) Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data.
(Level 3) Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes valuation techniques that involve significant unobservable inputs.

Level 2 Financial Instruments
Derivative instruments consisting of foreign currency forward contracts, commodity price swaps, commodity collar contracts and forward sales and purchase contracts are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the commodity price swap contracts is based on the net present value of expected future cash flows related to both variable and fixed rate legs of the respective swap agreements. The measurements are computed using market-based observable input and quoted forward commodity prices with respect to our commodity price swaps. The fair value of the commodity collar contracts is based on forward natural gas prices. The fair value of the forward sales and purchase contracts is computed using quoted forward commodity prices. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on values provided by a third party, which were derived using market quotes for similar type instruments, a Level 2 input. RINs credit obligations are valued based on current market RINs prices.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized assets and liabilities based on fair value measurements for the Sinclair Transactions (see Note 2). The fair value measurements were based on a combination of valuation methods including discounted cash flows, the guideline public company and guideline transaction methods and obsolescence adjusted replacement costs, all of which are Level 3 inputs.


NOTE 6:Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders, adjusted for participating securities’ share in earnings divided by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the incremental shares resulting from certain share-based awards.

NOTE 7:Stock-Based Compensation

We have a principal share-based compensation plan (the HF Sinclair Corporation Amended and Restated 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan, the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of unrestricted and restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, stock options, performance awards, substitute awards, cash awards and stock appreciation rights. The restricted stock unit awards generally vest over a period of one to three years. Upon vesting, restrictions on the restricted stock units lapse at which time they convert to common shares or cash. The performance share units generally vest over a period of three years and are payable in stock or cash upon meeting certain financial and performance criteria. The number of shares ultimately issued or cash paid for the performance share units can range from zero to 200% of target award amounts. The holders of unvested restricted stock units and performance share units have the right to receive dividends. We also have a stock compensation deferral plan which allows non-employee directors to defer settlement of vested stock granted under our share-based compensation plan.

The compensation cost for these plans was $12.8 million and $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $27.4 million and $25.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Additionally, HEP maintains an equity-based compensation plan for the General Partner’s non-employee directors and certain executives and employees. Compensation cost attributable to HEP’s equity-based compensation plan was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1.1 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(4)Includes RINs.

Our Renewables segment inventories that are valued at the lower of LIFO cost or market reflect a valuation reserve of $57.0 million and $61.2 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. A new market reserve of $57.0 million as of September 30, 2023 was based on market conditions and prices at that time. The effect of the change in the lower of cost or market reserve was a decrease to cost of products sold totaling $17.0 million and $4.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and an increase to cost of products sold totaling $16.8 million and $42.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

At September 30, 2023, the LIFO value of our Refining segment inventories was equal to cost. The June 30, 2023 market reserve of $26.8 million reversed resulting in a decrease to cost of products sold totaling $26.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

At September 30, 2023, the LIFO value of inventory, net of the lower of cost or market reserve, was equal to current costs.


NOTE 9:Environmental

Environmental costs are charged to operating expenses if they relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and do not contribute to current or future revenue generation. We have ongoing investigations of environmental matters at various locations and routinely assess our recorded environmental obligations, if any, with respect to such matters. Liabilities are recorded when site restoration and environmental remediation, cleanup and other obligations are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such estimates are undiscounted and require judgment with respect to costs, time frame and extent of required remedial and cleanup activities and are subject to periodic adjustments based on currently available information. Recoveries of environmental costs through insurance, indemnification arrangements or other sources are included in other assets to the extent such recoveries are considered probable.

We incurred expense of $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $17.1 million and $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for environmental remediation obligations. The accrued environmental liability reflected on our consolidated balance sheets was $194.1 million and $192.3 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, of which $160.1 million and $170.0 million, respectively, were classified as other long-term liabilities. These accruals include remediation and monitoring costs expected to be incurred over an extended period of time. Accrued environmental liabilities assumed in the Sinclair Transactions were $72.2 million at the acquisition date and an associated receivable from third parties of $21.5 million. Estimated liabilities could increase in the future when the results of ongoing investigations become known, are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated.


NOTE 10:Debt

HF Sinclair Credit Agreement
We have a $1.65 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in April 2026 (the “HF Sinclair Credit Agreement”). The HF Sinclair Credit Agreement may be used for revolving credit loans and letters of credit from time to time and is available to fund general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants, had no outstanding borrowings and had outstanding letters of credit totaling $0.3 million under the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement.

Indebtedness under the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement bears interest, at our option, based on the currency of such indebtedness at either (a) a base rate equal to the highest of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement) plus half of 1%, Spread Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement) for a one-month interest period plus 1% and the prime rate (as publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent), as applicable, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.25% to 1.125%), (b) the CDOR Rate (as defined in the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.25% to 2.125%), (c) the Spread Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.25% to 2.125%) or (d) the Daily Simple RFR (as defined in the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.25% to 2.125%). In each case, the applicable margin is based on HF Sinclair’s debt rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

HEP Credit Agreement
HEP has a $1.2 billion senior secured revolving credit facility maturing in July 2025 (the “HEP Credit Agreement”). The HEP Credit Agreement is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments, working capital and for general partnership purposes. It is also available to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit and has an accordion feature that allows HEP to increase the commitments under the HEP Credit Agreement up to a maximum amount of $1.7 billion. At September 30, 2023, HEP was in compliance with all of its covenants, had outstanding borrowings of $578.5 million and no outstanding letters of credit under the HEP Credit Agreement.

Prior to the Investment Grade Date (as defined in the HEP Credit Agreement), indebtedness under the HEP Credit Agreement bears interest, at HEP’s option, at either (a) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the HEP Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.75% to 1.75%) or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the HEP Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%). In each case, the applicable margin is based upon HEP’s Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the HEP Credit Agreement). The weighted average interest rate in effect under the HEP Credit Agreement on HEP’s borrowings was 7.17% as of September 30, 2023.

HEP’s obligations under the HEP Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of HEP’s assets and are guaranteed by HEP’s material wholly owned subsidiaries. Any recourse to the general partner would be limited to the extent of HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P.’s assets, which other than its investment in HEP are not significant. HEP’s creditors have no recourse to our other assets. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

In connection with the consummation of the HEP Merger Transaction, HEP expects to amend the HEP Credit Agreement to, among other things, (a) provide a guaranty from us and terminate all guaranties from subsidiaries of HEP, (b) amend the definition of “Investment Grade Rating” (as defined in the HEP Credit Agreement) to reference the credit rating of our senior unsecured indebtedness, (c) eliminate the requirement to deliver separate audited and unaudited financial statements for HEP and its subsidiaries and only provide certain segment-level reporting for HEP with any compliance certificate delivered in accordance with the HEP Credit Agreement and (d) amend certain covenants to eliminate certain restrictions on (i) amendments to intercompany contracts, (ii) transactions with us and our subsidiaries and (iii) investments in and contributions, dividends, transfers and distributions to us and our subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that the administrative agent and the lenders party thereto will agree to amend the HEP Credit Agreement in a timely manner, or on acceptable terms, if at all.

HollyFrontier and HF Sinclair Senior Notes
At September 30, 2023, our senior notes consisted of the following:

HF Sinclair Financing Arrangements
Certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into financing arrangements whereby such subsidiaries sold a portion of their precious metals catalyst to a financial institution and then leased back the precious metals catalyst in exchange for cash. The volume of the precious metals catalyst and the lease rate are fixed over the term of each lease, and the lease payments are recorded as interest expense. The current leases mature in one year or less. Upon maturity, we must either satisfy the obligation at fair market value or refinance to extend the maturity. These financing arrangements are recorded at a Level 2 fair value totaling $34.0 million and $39.8 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in “Accrued liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 for additional information on Level 2 inputs.

HF Sinclair may, from time to time, issue letters of credit pursuant to uncommitted letters of credit facilities with its lenders. At September 30, 2023, there were no letters of credit outstanding under such credit facilities.

HEP Senior Notes
At September 30, 2023, HEP’s senior notes consisted of the following:

$400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes maturing April 2027 (the “HEP 6.375% Senior Notes”), and
$500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.000% HEP senior notes maturing February 2028 (the “HEP 5.000% Senior Notes”).

These HEP senior notes (collectively, the “HEP Senior Notes”) are unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on HEP’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, pay distributions, enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into certain mergers, in each case subject to compliance with the terms of the indentures. HEP was in compliance with the restrictive covenants for the HEP Senior Notes as of September 30, 2023. At any time when the HEP Senior Notes are rated investment grade by either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or S&P Global Ratings and no default or event of default exists, HEP will not be subject to many of the foregoing covenants. Additionally, HEP has certain redemption rights at varying premiums over face value under the HEP Senior Notes.

Indebtedness under the HEP Senior Notes is guaranteed by certain of HEP’s wholly owned subsidiaries. HEP’s creditors have no recourse to our assets. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited) Continued
On October 30, 2023, we and HEP announced the commencement of private offers by us to all Eligible Holders (as defined in the Exchange Offer Memorandum) to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) any and all outstanding HEP 6.375% Senior Notes and HEP 5.000% Senior Notes, for new notes to be issued by us, with registration rights, and cash, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a confidential exchange offer memorandum and consent solicitation statement, dated October 30, 2023 (the “Exchange Offer Memorandum”). Concurrently with the Exchange Offers, we are soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitations”) to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indentures governing the existing HEP Senior Notes to, among other things, eliminate from each HEP indenture, as it relates to each series of HEP Senior Notes (i) substantially all of the restrictive covenants, (ii) certain of the events which may lead to an “Event of Default;” (iii) the SEC reporting covenant and (iv) the requirement of HEP to offer to purchase the HEP Senior Notes upon a change of control. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are subject to the consummation of the HEP Merger Transaction. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made only pursuant to the terms and subject to conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer Memorandum.

The Exchange Offer Memorandum and other documents relating to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will be distributed only to Eligible Holders (as defined in the Exchange Offer Memorandum) of HEP Senior Notes. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are not being made to holders of HEP Senior Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. The new notes to be issued by us have not been approved or disapproved by any regulatory authority, nor has any such authority passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Exchange Offer Memorandum. The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are described in the Exchange Offer Memorandum.


NOTE 11:Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Commodity Price Risk Management
Our primary market risk is commodity price risk. We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in crude oil and refined products, as well as volatility in the price of natural gas used in our refining operations. We periodically enter into derivative contracts in the form of commodity price swaps, collar contracts, forward purchase and sales and futures contracts to mitigate price exposure with respect to our inventory positions, natural gas purchases, sales prices of refined products and crude oil costs.

Foreign Currency Risk Management
We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. We periodically enter into derivative contracts in the form of foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the exposure associated with fluctuations on intercompany notes with our foreign subsidiaries that are not denominated in the U.S. dollar.

Accounting Hedges
We periodically have forward sales contracts that lock in the prices of future sales of crude oil and refined product. These contracts have been designated as accounting hedges and are measured at fair value with offsetting adjustments (gains/losses) recorded directly to other comprehensive income (loss). These fair value adjustments are later reclassified to earnings as the hedging instruments mature.

The following table presents the pre-tax effect on other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and earnings due to fair value adjustments and maturities of hedging instruments under hedge accounting:

Economic Hedges
We have commodity contracts including NYMEX futures contracts to lock in prices on forecasted purchases and sales of inventory, swap contracts to lock in the crack spread of WTI and gasoline, collar contracts and basis swap contracts to mitigate exposure to natural gas price volatility and forward purchase and sell contracts of refined products that serve as economic hedges (derivatives used for risk management, but not designated as accounting hedges). We also have forward currency contracts to fix the rate of foreign currency. In addition, our catalyst financing arrangements discussed in Note 10 could require repayment under certain conditions based on the future pricing of platinum, which is an embedded derivative. These contracts are measured at fair value with offsetting adjustments (gains/losses) recorded directly to earnings.

NOTE 12:Equity

In September 2022, our Board of Directors approved a $1.0 billion share repurchase program, which replaced all existing share repurchase programs at that time, authorizing us to repurchase common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Privately negotiated repurchases from REH Company are also authorized under this share repurchase program, subject to REH Company’s interest in selling its shares and other limitations. As of August 15, 2023, we had repurchased $995.0 million under this share repurchase program.

On August 15, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program, which replaced all existing share repurchase programs, including the $5.0 million remaining authorization under the previously existing $1.0 billion share repurchase program. This new share repurchase program authorizes us to repurchase common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Privately negotiated repurchases from REH Company are also authorized under this share repurchase program, subject to REH Company’s interest in selling its shares and other limitations. The timing and amount of share repurchases, including those from REH Company, will depend on market conditions and corporate, tax, regulatory and other relevant considerations. This new share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time by our Board of Directors. In addition, we are authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase shares in an amount sufficient to offset shares issued under our compensation programs.

As of September 30, 2023, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $825.0 million under this new share repurchase program.

On October 20, 2023, we repurchased 1,376,652 shares of our outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, from REH Company in a privately negotiated transaction under our new share repurchase program and pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated October 17, 2023 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) between us and REH Company. The price paid by us under the Stock Purchase Agreement was $54.48 per share resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $75.0 million. The purchase price was funded with cash on hand. As of October 20, 2023, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $750.0 million under our new share repurchase program.

NOTE 14:Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we may become party to legal, regulatory or administrative proceedings or governmental investigations, including environmental and other matters. Damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters and certain matters may require years to resolve. While the outcome and impact of these proceedings and investigations on us cannot be predicted with certainty, based on advice of counsel and information currently available to us, management believes that the resolution of these proceedings and investigations through settlement or adverse judgment will not either individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, all pre-closing RINs obligations of REH Company’s subsidiaries (which are now subsidiaries of HF Sinclair as a result of the HFC Transactions) remain with REH Company. REH Company is required to transfer to HF Sinclair the number of each applicable type of RIN required for REH Company to demonstrate compliance for any pre-closing obligations it retained by the deadlines set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. If REH Company does not deliver all the required RINs by the applicable deadline, then, within five days following the delivery of an invoice therefor, REH Company is required to pay to HF Sinclair the amount of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by HF Sinclair to comply with REH Company’s pre-closing obligations prior to such deadline, including the price of any RINs purchased by HF Sinclair. In relation to this, 2,570,000 shares of HF Sinclair common stock, out of the purchase consideration paid to REH Company, are held in escrow to secure REH Company’s RINs credit obligations under Section 6.22 of the Business Combination Agreement. The 5,290,000 HEP common units that were also held in escrow to secure REH Company’s RINs credit obligations were released to REH Company in April 2023 upon their satisfaction of the RINs credit obligations relating thereto.

During 2017 and 2019, the EPA granted the Cheyenne, Wyoming refinery (the “Cheyenne Refinery”) and the refinery in Woods Cross, Utah (the “Woods Cross Refinery”) each a one-year small refinery exemption from the Renewable Fuel Standard program requirements for the 2016 and 2018, respectively, compliance years. As a result, the Cheyenne Refinery’s and Woods Cross Refinery’s gasoline and diesel production are not subject to the renewable volume obligation for the respective years. Upon each exemption granted, we increased our inventory of RINs and reduced our cost of products sold. On April 7, 2022, the EPA issued a decision reversing the grant of small refinery exemptions for our Woods Cross and Cheyenne refineries for the 2018 compliance year. On June 3, 2022, the EPA issued a decision reversing the grant of small refinery exemptions for our Woods Cross and Cheyenne refineries for the 2016 compliance year and denying small refinery exemption petitions for our Woods Cross and Cheyenne refineries for the 2019 and 2020 compliance years. Various subsidiaries of HollyFrontier are currently pursuing legal challenges to the EPA’s decisions to reverse its grant of small refinery exemptions for the 2016 and 2018 compliance years. The first lawsuit, filed against the EPA on May 6, 2022 and currently pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, seeks to have the EPA’s reversal of our 2018 small refinery exemption petitions overturned. The second lawsuit, filed against the EPA on August 5, 2022 and currently pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, seeks to have the EPA’s reversal of our 2016 small refinery exemption petitions overturned and to have the EPA’s denial of our 2019 and 2020 small refinery exemption petitions reversed. In addition, for both the 2016 and 2018 compliance years, pursuant to the June 2022 and April 2022 decisions, respectively, the EPA established an alternative compliance demonstration for small refineries pursuant to which the EPA is not imposing any obligations for the small refineries whose exemptions were reversed. On June 24, 2022, Growth Energy filed two lawsuits in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit against the EPA challenging the alternative compliance demonstration for the 2016 and 2018 compliance years. On July 25, 2022, various subsidiaries of HollyFrontier intervened on behalf of the EPA to aid the defense of the EPA’s alternative compliance demonstration decision. It is too early to predict the outcome of these matters. We are unable to estimate the costs we may incur, if any, at this time.

OVERVIEW

We are an independent energy company that produces and markets high-value light products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, renewable diesel and other specialty products. We own and operate refineries located in Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Washington, Utah and Wyoming. We market our refined products principally in the Southwest United States, the Rocky Mountains extending into the Pacific Northwest and in other neighboring Plains states. We supply high-quality fuels to more than 1,500 branded stations and license the use of the Sinclair brand at more than 300 additional locations throughout the country. In addition, our subsidiaries produce and market base oils and other specialized lubricants in the United States, Canada and the Netherlands, and export products to more than 80 countries. Through our subsidiaries, we produce renewable diesel at two of our facilities in Wyoming and our facility in New Mexico. We also own a 47% limited partner interest and a non-economic general partner interest in HEP, a master limited partnership that provides petroleum product and crude oil transportation, terminalling, storage and throughput services to the petroleum industry, including HF Sinclair subsidiaries.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders was $790.9 million compared to $954.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders was $1,651.8 million compared to $2,335.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our results for the third quarter of 2023 were favorably impacted by healthy demand for transportation fuels, lubricants and transportation and terminal services and constrained refined product supply. We continue to adjust our operational plans to evolving market conditions. The extent to which our future results are affected by volatile regional and global economic conditions will depend on various factors and consequences beyond our control.

In the Refining segment, we saw healthy refining margins in both the West and Mid-Continent regions in the third quarter of 2023 as a result of steady demand and tight supply during the period. The first nine months of 2023 included a significant number of turnarounds; with turnarounds completed at six of our seven refineries. These turnarounds have also provided us with the opportunity to execute maintenance strategies focused on improving operational reliability.

In the Renewables segment, we continued to optimize the operation of our assets and reliability in the third quarter of 2023.

In the Marketing segment, we continued to see strong value in the Sinclair brand in the third quarter of 2023 as the marketing business continued to provide a consistent sales channel with margin uplift for our produced fuels.

In the Lubricants segment, effective the first quarter of 2023, management views the Lubricants and Specialty Products segment as an integrated business of processing feedstocks into base oils and processing base oils into finished lubricant products along with the packaging, distribution and sales to customers. In the third quarter of 2023, despite weakening base oil prices during the period, we continued to see strong performance (excluding FIFO) driven by sales mix optimization across our finished products portfolio.

HEP Merger Transaction
On August 15, 2023, HF Sinclair entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with HEP, Navajo Pipeline Co., L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (“HoldCo”), Holly Apple Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Merger Sub”), HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the general partner of HEP (“HLH”), and Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of HLH (the “General Partner”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into HEP, with HEP surviving as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (such merger, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, being referred to herein as the “HEP Merger Transaction”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding common unit of HEP, other than the HEP common units already owned by HF Sinclair and its subsidiaries, will be converted into the right to receive 0.315 shares of HF Sinclair common stock and $4.00 in cash, without interest. Completion of the HEP Merger Transaction is subject to the approval of HF Sinclair stockholders and HEP unitholders and the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. The HEP Merger Transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023, assuming the satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions to the HEP Merger Transaction.

For a description of HF Sinclair’s and HEP’s existing indebtedness, as well as the proposed changes thereto associated with the HEP Merger Transaction, see Note 10 “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sinclair Acquisition
On March 14, 2022, HollyFrontier and HEP announced the establishment of HF Sinclair as the new parent holding company of HollyFrontier and HEP and their subsidiaries, and the completion of their respective acquisitions (the “Sinclair Transactions”) of Sinclair Oil Corporation (now known as Sinclair Oil LLC, “Sinclair Oil”) and Sinclair Transportation Company LLC (“STC”) from The Sinclair Companies (now known as REH Company and referred to herein as “REH Company”). See Note 2 “Acquisitions” and Note 3 “Holly Energy Partners” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Renewable Fuel Standard Regulations
Pursuant to the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) promulgated the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) regulations, which increased the volume of renewable fuels mandated to be blended into the nation’s fuel supply. The regulations, in part, require refiners to add annually increasing amounts of “renewable fuels” to their petroleum products or purchase credits, known as RINs, in lieu of such blending. Compliance with RFS regulations significantly increases our cost of products sold, with RINs costs totaling $237.8 million and $596.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, our open RINs credit obligations were $22.3 million. See Note 2 “Acquisitions” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on RINs credit obligations assumed in the Sinclair Transactions.

Recent U.S. Tax Legislation
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Inflation Reduction Act”) into law. As part of this Inflation Reduction Act, an excise tax of 1% tax was imposed on the fair market value of net stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022, which has been reflected in our financials.


OUTLOOK

Within our Refining segment, for the fourth quarter of 2023, we expect to run between 590,000 – 620,000 barrels per day of crude oil. This guidance reflects planned maintenance activities at our Tulsa refineries during the period. Refined product margins are expected to be impacted by typical seasonal weakness in gasoline in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Within our Renewables segment, despite weakening macroeconomic factors during the third quarter of 2023, we expect to continue to increase throughputs through improved reliability and feedstock optimization with the target of achieving normalized run rates by the end of 2023.

Within our Marketing segment, we expect to see 5% or more annual growth in the number of sites.

Within our Lubricants and Specialty Products segment, we expect to see continued favorable product mix, seasonal improvement for transportation lubricants demand, offset by softness in certain finished products into the fourth quarter of 2023. We continue to look for ways to optimize the business.

Table of Content

Subject to the Merger Agreement and the discretion of the board of directors of the General Partner to declare distributions, HEP expects its future cash distribution will continue as long as it remains a public company.

On August 15, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program. The timing and amount of share repurchases, including those from REH Company, will depend on market conditions and corporate, tax, regulatory and other relevant considerations. On November 2, 2023, our Board of Directors announced that it declared a regular quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.45 per share. The dividend is payable on December 5, 2023 to holders of record of common stock on November 16, 2023.

A more detailed discussion of our financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is presented in the following sections.

(1)Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as “EBITDA,” is calculated as net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation provided for under GAAP; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants. EBITDA presented above is reconciled to net income under “Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” following Item 3 of Part I of this Form 10-Q.

Segment Operating Data

Our operations are organized into five reportable segments, Refining, Renewables, Marketing, Lubricants and Specialty Products and HEP. See Note 15 “Segment Information” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our reportable segments.

Refining Segment Operating Data

The disaggregation of our refining geographic operating data is presented in two regions, Mid-Continent and West, to best reflect the economic drivers of our refining operations. The Mid-Continent region is comprised of the El Dorado and Tulsa refineries. The West region is comprised of the Puget Sound, Navajo, Woods Cross, Parco and Casper refineries. The refinery operations of the Parco and Casper refineries are included for the period March 14, 2022 (date of acquisition) through September 30, 2023. The following tables set forth information, including non-GAAP performance measures, about our consolidated refinery operations. The refinery gross and net operating margins do not include the non-cash effects of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments and depreciation and amortization. Reconciliations to amounts reported under GAAP are provided under “Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” following Item 3 of Part I of this Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

Summary
Net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $790.9 million ($4.23 per basic and diluted share), a $163.5 million decrease compared to net income of $954.4 million ($4.45 per basic and diluted share) for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net income was principally driven by lower refinery gross margins in both the West and Mid-Continent regions and lower refined product sales volumes. Lower of cost or market inventory reserve adjustments related to our refining and renewables inventories increased pre-tax earnings by $43.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and decreased pre-tax earnings by $16.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Refinery gross margins for the three months ended September 30, 2023 decreased to $26.59 per produced barrel sold from $31.47 for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Sales and Other Revenues
Sales and other revenues decreased 16% from $10,599.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $8,905.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 principally due to decreased refined product sales prices and lower refined product sales volumes. Sales and other revenues included $1,259.2 million, $686.1 million and $213.1 million in unaffiliated revenues related to our Marketing, Lubricants and Specialty Products and Renewables segments, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Sales and other revenues included $1,266.7 million, $820.6 million and $255.0 million in unaffiliated revenues related to our Marketing, Lubricants and Specialty Products and Renewables segments, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Cost of Products Sold
Total cost of products sold decreased 18% from $8,392.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $6,891.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 principally due to lower crude oil costs and lower refined product sales volumes. During the third quarter of 2023, we recognized a lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment benefit related to our Refining segment inventories of $26.8 million. Also during the third quarter of 2023, we recognized a lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment benefit related to our Renewables segment inventories of $17.0 million as compared to a charge of $16.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Within our Lubricants and Specialty Products segment, FIFO impact was a benefit of $29.9 million and a charge of $44.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Gross Refinery Margins
Gross refinery margin per produced barrel sold decreased 16% from $31.47 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $26.59 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was due to lower average per barrel sold sales prices, partially offset by lower crude oil and feedstock prices during the three months ended September 30, 2023. Gross refinery margin per barrel does not include the non-cash effects of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments or depreciation and amortization. See “Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” following Item 3 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for a reconciliation to the income statement of sale prices of products sold and cost of products purchased.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased 3% from $604.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $622.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to increased maintenance activities, partially offset by lower natural gas costs during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 21% from $102.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $124.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to higher costs related to employee expenses and information technology and other professional services as compared to the prior period. We incurred $6.6 million and $10.7 million in acquisition integration and regulatory costs during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Table of Content
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Depreciation and amortization increased 14% from $172.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $195.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was principally due to depreciation and amortization attributable to capitalized refinery turnaround costs and capitalized improvement projects during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Earnings (Loss) of Equity Method Investments
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded earnings of $3.0 million of equity method investment compared to a loss of $16.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Net loss during the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to HEP’s 50% share of incurred and estimated environmental remediation and recovery expenses and estimated fines and penalties, net of insurance proceeds received to date, for Osage Pipe Line Company, LLC (“Osage Pipeline”). In July 2022, Osage Pipeline, which carries crude oil from Cushing, Oklahoma to El Dorado, Kansas, suffered a release of crude oil. The pipeline resumed operations during the third quarter of 2022.

Interest Income
Interest income was $24.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in interest income was primarily due to higher interest rates on cash investments during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Interest Expense
Interest expense was $48.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $44.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher market interest rates on HEP’s revolving credit facility during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, interest expense attributable to our HEP segment was $27.3 million and $23.0 million, respectively.

Gain on Foreign Currency Transactions
Remeasurement adjustments resulting from the foreign currency conversion of the intercompany financing notes payable by Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc. net of mark-to-market valuations on foreign exchange forward contracts with banks which hedge the foreign currency exposure on these intercompany notes were a net gain of $0.9 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, gain on foreign currency transactions included gains of $10.2 million and $28.9 million, respectively, on foreign exchange forward contracts (utilized as an economic hedge).

Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $235.0 million compared to $301.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was principally due to lower pre-tax income during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. Our effective tax rates were 22.2% and 23.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily due to the impact of federal tax credits and the relationship between pre-tax results and the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest that is not included in income for tax purposes. The difference in the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the impact of federal tax credits and the decrease in the state tax rate applied to our deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the Sinclair Transactions.


Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Summary
Net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,651.8 million ($8.57 per basic and diluted share), a $683.8 million decrease compared to net income of $2,335.6 million ($11.35 per basic and diluted share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net income was principally driven by lower refinery gross margins and lower refined product sales volumes. Lower of cost or market inventory reserve adjustments related to our Renewables segment inventories increased pre-tax earnings by $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and decreased pre-tax earnings by $42.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Refinery gross margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased to $24.25 per produced barrel sold from $27.97 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Cost of Products Sold
Total cost of products sold decreased 18% from $23,500.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $19,309.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 principally due to lower crude oil costs and lower refined product sales volumes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment benefit related to our Renewables segment inventories of $4.1 million as compared to a charge of $42.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Within our Lubricants and Specialty Products segment, FIFO impact was a benefit of $16.4 million and $84.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Gross Refinery Margins
Gross refinery margin per produced barrel sold decreased 13% from $27.97 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $24.25 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 principally due to lower average per barrel sold sales prices, partially offset by lower crude oil and feedstock prices during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Gross refinery margin per barrel does not include the non-cash effects of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments or depreciation and amortization. See “Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” following Item 3 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for a reconciliation to the income statement of sales prices of products sold and cost of products purchased.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased 7% from $1,688.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $1,808.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to our acquisition of the Acquired Sinclair Businesses and increased maintenance activities, partially offset by lower natural gas costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7% from $324.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $347.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to our acquisition of the Acquired Sinclair Businesses and higher costs related to employee expenses, information technology and other professional services as compared to the prior period, partially offset by a decrease in acquisition integration and regulatory costs. We incurred $14.1 million and $48.1 million in acquisition integration and regulatory costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Depreciation and amortization increased 16% from $480.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $558.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was principally due to depreciation and amortization attributable to capitalized turnaround costs, capitalized improvement projects and the Acquired Sinclair Businesses.

Earnings (Loss) of Equity Method Investments
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded net earnings of $10.4 million of equity method investments as compared to a net loss of $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to HEP’s 50% share of incurred and estimated environmental remediation and recovery expenses and estimated fines and penalties, net of insurance proceeds received to date, for Osage Pipeline. In July 2022, Osage Pipeline, which carries crude oil from Cushing, Oklahoma to El Dorado, Kansas, suffered a release of crude oil. The pipeline resumed operations during the third quarter of 2022.

Interest Income
Interest income was $62.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in interest income was primarily due to the increase in the average cash balance and higher interest rates on cash investments.

Table of Content

Interest Expense
Interest expense was $141.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $118.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to the April 2022 issuance of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of HEP’s 6.375% senior notes maturing in April 2027 and higher market interest rates on HEP’s revolving credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, interest expense attributable to our HEP Segment was $79.7 million and $57.0 million, respectively.

Gain on Foreign Currency Transactions
Remeasurement adjustments resulting from the foreign currency conversion of the intercompany financing notes payable by Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc. net of mark-to-market valuations on foreign exchange forward contracts with banks which hedge the foreign currency exposure on these intercompany notes were a net gain of $2.5 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, gain on foreign currency transactions included gains of $1.6 million and $35.5 million, respectively, on foreign exchange forward contracts (utilized as an economic hedge).

Income Taxes
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $480.6 million compared to $706.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was principally due to lower pre-tax income during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. Our effective tax rates were 21.6% and 22.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily due to the impact of federal tax credits and the relationship between pre-tax results and the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest that is not included in income for tax purposes. The difference in the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the impact of federal tax credits and the decrease in the state tax rate applied to our deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the Sinclair Transactions.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

HF Sinclair Credit Agreement
We have a $1.65 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in April 2026 (the “HF Sinclair Credit Agreement”). The HF Sinclair Credit Agreement may be used for revolving credit loans and letters of credit from time to time and is available to fund general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants, had no outstanding borrowings and had outstanding letters of credit totaling $0.3 million under the HF Sinclair Credit Agreement.

HF Sinclair Financing Arrangements
Certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into financing arrangements whereby such subsidiaries sold a portion of their precious metals catalyst to a financial institution and then leased back the precious metals catalyst in exchange for cash. The volume of the precious metals catalyst and the lease rate are fixed over the term of each lease, and the lease payments are recorded as interest expense. The current leases mature in one year or less. Upon maturity, we must either satisfy the obligation at fair market value or refinance to extend the maturity.

HF Sinclair may, from time to time, issue letters of credit pursuant to uncommitted letters of credit facilities with its lenders. At September 30, 2023, there were no letters of credit outstanding under such facilities.

HEP Credit Agreement
HEP has a $1.2 billion senior secured revolving credit facility maturing in July 2025 (the “HEP Credit Agreement”). The HEP Credit Agreement is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments, working capital and for general partnership purposes. It is also available to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit and has an accordion feature that allows HEP to increase the commitments under the HEP Credit Agreement up to a maximum amount of $1.7 billion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, HEP had net repayments of $89.5 million under the HEP Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2023, HEP was in compliance with all of its covenants, had outstanding borrowings of $578.5 million and no outstanding letters of credit under the HEP Credit Agreement.

52

Table of Content
In connection with the consummation of the HEP Merger Transaction, HEP expects to amend the HEP Credit Agreement to, among other things, (a) provide a guaranty from us and terminate all guaranties from subsidiaries of HEP, (b) amend the definition of “Investment Grade Rating” (as defined in the HEP Credit Agreement) to reference the credit rating of our senior unsecured indebtedness, (c) eliminate the requirement to deliver separate audited and unaudited financial statements for HEP and its subsidiaries and only provide certain segment-level reporting for HEP with any compliance certificate delivered in accordance with the HEP Credit Agreement and (d) amend certain covenants to eliminate certain restrictions on (i) amendments to intercompany contracts, (ii) transactions with us and our subsidiaries and (iii) investments in and contributions, dividends, transfers and distributions to us and our subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that the administrative agent and the lenders party thereto will agree to amend the HEP Credit Agreement in a timely manner, or on acceptable terms, if at all.

HF Sinclair Senior Notes
In October 2023, we repaid at maturity our $59.637 million aggregate principal amount HollyFrontier 2.625% Senior Notes and $248.190 million aggregate principal amount HF Sinclair 2.625% Senior Notes.

See Note 10 “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our debt instruments.

HEP Exchange Offer
As of September 30, 2023, HEP had outstanding $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due 2027 (the “HEP 6.375% Senior Notes”) and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior notes due 2028 (the “HEP 5.000% Senior Notes” and, together with the HEP 6.375% Senior Notes, the “HEP Senior Notes”). On October 30, 2023, we and HEP announced the commencement of private offers by us to all Eligible Holders (as defined in the Exchange Offer Memorandum) to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) any and all outstanding HEP 6.375% Senior Notes and HEP 5.000% Senior Notes, for new notes to be issued by us, with registration rights, and cash, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a confidential exchange offer memorandum and consent solicitation statement, dated October 30, 2023 (the “Exchange Offer Memorandum”). Concurrently with the Exchange Offers, we are soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitations”) to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indentures governing the existing HEP Senior Notes to, among other things, eliminate from each HEP indenture, as it relates to each series of HEP Senior Notes (i) substantially all of the restrictive covenants, (ii) certain of the events which may lead to an “Event of Default;” (iii) the SEC reporting covenant and (iv) the requirement of HEP to offer to purchase the HEP Senior Notes upon a change of control. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are subject to the consummation of the HEP Merger Transaction. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made only pursuant to the terms and subject to conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer Memorandum.

The Exchange Offer Memorandum and other documents relating to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will be distributed only to Eligible Holders (as defined in the Exchange Offer Memorandum) of Existing HEP Notes. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are not being made to holders of Existing HEP Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. The new notes to be issued by HF Sinclair have not been approved or disapproved by any regulatory authority, nor has any such authority passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Exchange Offer Memorandum. The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are described in the Exchange Offer Memorandum.

See Note 10 “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our debt instruments.

Liquidity
We believe our current cash and cash equivalents, along with future internally generated cash flow and funds available under our credit facilities, will provide sufficient resources to fund currently planned capital projects and our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. We expect that, to the extent necessary, we can raise additional funds from time to time through equity or debt financings in the public and private capital markets. Further, we may from time to time seek to retire some or all of our outstanding debt or debt agreements through cash purchases, and/or exchanges, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such transactions, if any, may be material and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements and other factors. In addition, components of our long-term growth strategy include the optimization of existing units at our facilities and selective acquisition of complementary assets for our operations intended to increase earnings and cash flow. We also expect to use cash for payment of cash dividends, which are at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and for the repurchase of common stock under our share repurchase program.

Our standalone (excluding HEP) liquidity was approximately $3.85 billion at September 30, 2023, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $2.20 billion and an undrawn $1.65 billion credit facility.

Table of Content
We consider all highly-liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These primarily consist of investments in conservative, highly-rated instruments issued by financial institutions, government and corporate entities with strong credit standings and money market funds. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

In September 2022, our Board of Directors approved a $1.0 billion share repurchase program, which replaced all existing share repurchase programs at that time, authorizing us to repurchase common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Privately negotiated repurchases from REH Company are also authorized under this share repurchase program, subject to REH Company’s interest in selling its shares and other limitations. As of August 15, 2023, we had repurchased $995.0 million under this share repurchase program.

On August 15, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program, which replaced all existing share repurchase programs, including the $5.0 million remaining authorization under the previously existing $1.0 billion share repurchase program. This new share repurchase program authorizes us to repurchase common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Privately negotiated repurchases from REH Company are also authorized under this share repurchase program, subject to REH Company’s interest in selling its shares and other limitations. The timing and amount of share repurchases, including those from REH Company, will depend on market conditions and corporate, tax, regulatory and other relevant considerations. This new share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time by our Board of Directors. In addition, we are authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase shares in an amount sufficient to offset shares issued under our compensation programs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we made open market and privately negotiated purchases of 16,068,774 shares for $825.9 million under our share repurchase programs, of which 13,244,196 shares were repurchased for $685.6 million pursuant to privately negotiated repurchases from REH Company. As of September 30, 2023, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $825.0 million under the new share repurchase program.

On October 20, 2023, we repurchased 1,376,652 shares of our outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, from REH Company in a privately negotiated transaction under our new share repurchase program and pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated October 17, 2023 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) between us and REH Company. The price paid by us under the Stock Purchase Agreement was $54.48 per share resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $75.0 million. The purchase price was funded with cash on hand. As of October 20, 2023, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $750.0 million under our new share repurchase program.

Cash Flows – Operating Activities

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $2,066.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $2,862.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $795.6 million primarily driven by lower income from operations combined with higher turnaround spend during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Changes in working capital increased operating cash flows by $144.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and decreased operating cash flows by $45.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, turnaround expenditures were $471.1 million compared to $97.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Cash Flows – Investing Activities and Planned Capital Expenditures

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our net cash flows used for investing activities were $247.7 million. Cash expenditures for properties, plants and equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $261.4 million, which include HEP capital expenditures of $22.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our net cash flows used for investing activities were $665.8 million. On March 14, 2022, we closed the Sinclair Transactions and paid cash of $251.4 million. The remainder of the purchase consideration was funded with the issuance of HF Sinclair common stock and HEP common units. See Note 2 “Acquisitions” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Sinclair Transactions. Cash expenditures for properties, plants and equipment for the nine months of ended September 30, 2022 were $417.4 million primarily due to expenditures related to our renewable diesel units. Cash expenditures for properties, plants and equipment include HEP capital expenditures of $31.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

HF Sinclair Corporation
Each year our Board of Directors approves our annual capital budget which includes specific projects that management is authorized to undertake. When conditions warrant or as new opportunities arise, additional projects may be approved. The funds appropriated for a particular capital project may be expended over a period of several years, depending on the time required to complete the project. Therefore, our planned capital expenditures for a given year consist of expenditures appropriated in that year’s capital budget plus expenditures for projects appropriated in prior years which have not yet been completed. Refinery turnaround spending is amortized over the useful life of the turnaround.

The refining industry is capital intensive and requires on-going investments to sustain our refining operations. This includes replacement of, or rebuilding, refinery units and components that extend the useful life. We also invest in projects that improve operational reliability and profitability via enhancements that improve refinery processing capabilities as well as production yield and flexibility. Our capital expenditures also include projects related to renewable diesel, environmental, health and safety compliance and include initiatives as a result of federal and state mandates.

Our refinery operations and related emissions are highly regulated at both federal and state levels, and we invest in our facilities as needed to remain in compliance with these standards. Additionally, when faced with new emissions or fuels standards, we seek to execute projects that facilitate compliance and also improve the operating costs and / or yields of associated refining processes.

HEP
Each year the General Partner’s board of directors approves HEP’s annual capital budget, which specifies capital projects that HEP management is authorized to undertake. Additionally, at times when conditions warrant or as new opportunities arise, special projects may be approved. The funds allocated for a particular capital project may be expended over a period in excess of a year, depending on the time required to complete the project. Therefore, HEP’s planned capital expenditures for a given year consist of expenditures approved for capital projects included in its current year capital budget as well as, in certain cases, expenditures approved for capital projects in capital budgets for prior years. In addition, HEP may spend funds periodically to perform capital upgrades or additions to its assets where a customer reimburses HEP for such costs. The upgrades or additions would generally benefit the customer over the remaining life of the related service agreements.

Expected capital and turnaround cash spending for 2023 is as follows.
Expected Cash Spending Range

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are described in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Certain critical accounting policies that materially affect the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements include the use of the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of valuing certain inventories, assessing the possible impairment of certain long-lived assets and goodwill, and assessing contingent liabilities for probable losses.

Inventory Valuation
Inventories related to our refining and renewables operations are stated at the lower of cost, using the LIFO method for crude oil / feedstock and unfinished and finished refined products, or market. In periods of rapidly declining prices, LIFO inventories may have to be written down to market value due to the higher costs assigned to LIFO layers in prior periods. In addition, the use of the LIFO inventory method may result in increases or decreases to cost of sales in years that inventory volumes decline as the result of charging cost of sales with LIFO inventory costs generated in prior periods. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

At September 30, 2023, our lower of cost or market inventory valuation reserve was $57.0 million. This amount, or a portion thereof, is subject to reversal as a reduction to cost of products sold in subsequent periods as inventories giving rise to the reserve are sold, and a new reserve is established.

Inventories consisting of process chemicals, materials and maintenance supplies and RINs are stated at the lower of weighted-average cost or net realizable value. Inventories of our Petro-Canada Lubricants and Sonneborn businesses are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value.

Valuation of Business Combinations
We recognize and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess or surplus of the purchase consideration when compared to the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase. The fair value of assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date are often estimated using a combination of approaches, including the income approach, which requires us to project future cash flows and apply an appropriate discount rate; the cost approach, which requires estimates of replacement costs and depreciation and obsolescence estimates; and the market approach, which uses market data and adjusts for entity-specific differences. We use all available information to make these fair value determinations and engage third-party consultants for valuation assistance. The estimates used in determining fair values are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from the projected results used to determine fair value.

Goodwill
As of September 30, 2023, our goodwill balance was $3.0 billion, with goodwill assigned to our Refining, Renewables, Marketing, Lubricants and Specialty Products and HEP segments. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Our goodwill impairment testing first entails either a quantitative assessment or an optional qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we determine that based on the qualitative factors that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value, a quantitative test is performed in which we estimate the fair value of the related reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of that reporting unit is impaired, and we measure goodwill impairment as the excess of the carrying amount of reporting unit over the related fair value.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment testing quantitatively as of July 1, 2023 and determined there was no impairment of goodwill attributable to our reporting units. The estimated fair values of our reporting units were derived using a combination of income and market approaches. The income approach reflects expected future cash flows based on estimated forecasted production levels, selling prices, gross margins, operating costs and capital expenditures. Our market approaches include both the guideline public company and guideline transaction methods. Both methods utilize pricing multiples derived from historical market transactions of other like-kind assets. The excess of the fair values of the reporting units over their respective carrying values ranged from 23% to 91%. Increasing the discount rate by 1.0% or reducing the terminal cash flow growth rate by 1.0% would not have changed the results of our annual goodwill testing.

In performing our impairment test of goodwill, we developed cash flow forecasts for each of our reporting units. Significant judgment is involved in performing these fair value estimates since the results are based on forecasted financial information. The cash flow forecasts include significant assumptions such as planned utilization, end-user demand, selling prices, gross margins, operating costs and capital expenditures. Another key assumption applied to these forecasts to determine the fair value of a reporting unit is the discount rate. The discount rate is intended to reflect the weighted average cost of capital for a market participant and the risks associated with the realization of the estimated future cash flows. Our fair value estimates are based on projected cash flows, which we believe to be reasonable.

We continually monitor and evaluate various factors for potential indicators of goodwill and long-lived asset impairment. A reasonable expectation exists that further deterioration in our operating results or overall economic conditions could result in an impairment of goodwill and / or long-lived asset impairments at some point in the future. Future impairment charges could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

Contingencies
We are subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to environmental, labor, product and other matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after careful analysis of each individual issue. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters.


RISK MANAGEMENT

We use certain strategies to reduce some commodity price and operational risks. We do not attempt to eliminate all market risk exposures when we believe that the exposure relating to such risk would not be significant to our future earnings, financial position, capital resources or liquidity or that the cost of eliminating the exposure would outweigh the benefit.

Table of Content

Commodity Price Risk Management
Our primary market risk is commodity price risk. We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in crude oil and refined products, as well as volatility in the price of natural gas used in our refining operations. We periodically enter into derivative contracts in the form of commodity price swaps, collar contracts, forward purchase and sales and futures contracts to mitigate price exposure with respect to our inventory positions, natural gas purchases, sales prices of refined products and crude oil costs.

Foreign Currency Risk Management
We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. We periodically enter into derivative contracts in the form of foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the exposure associated with fluctuations on intercompany notes with our foreign subsidiaries that are not denominated in the U.S. dollar.

As of September 30, 2023, we have the following notional contract volumes related to all outstanding derivative instruments used to mitigate commodity price and foreign currency risk:

Interest Rate Risk Management
The market risk inherent in our fixed-rate debt is the potential change arising from increases or decreases in interest rates as discussed below.

For the fixed rate HF Sinclair Senior Notes, HollyFrontier Senior Notes and HEP Senior Notes, changes in interest rates will generally affect fair value of the debt, but not earnings or cash flows.

For the variable rate HEP Credit Agreement, changes in interest rates would affect cash flows, but not the fair value. At September 30, 2023, outstanding borrowings under the HEP Credit Agreement were $578.5 million. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates applicable to the HEP Credit Agreement would not materially affect cash flows.

Our operations are subject to catastrophic losses, operational hazards and unforeseen interruptions, including but not limited to fire, explosion, releases or spills, cyberattacks, weather-related perils, vandalism, power failures, mechanical failures and other events beyond our control. We maintain various insurance coverages, including general liability, property damage, business interruption and cyber insurance, subject to certain deductibles and insurance policy terms and conditions. We are not fully insured against certain risks because such risks are not fully insurable, coverage is unavailable, or premium costs, in our judgment, do not justify such expenditures.

Financial information is reviewed on the counterparties in order to review and monitor their financial stability and assess their ongoing ability to honor their commitments under the derivative contracts. We have not experienced, nor do we expect to experience, any difficulty in the counterparties honoring their commitments.

We have a risk management oversight committee consisting of members from our senior management. This committee oversees our risk enterprise program, monitors our risk environment and provides direction for activities to mitigate identified risks that may adversely affect the achievement of our goals.

Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

Reconciliations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation provided for under GAAP; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants.

Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA.

Reconciliations of refinery operating information (non-GAAP performance measures) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.

Refinery gross margin and net operating margin are non-GAAP performance measures that are used by our management and others to compare our refining performance to that of other companies in our industry. We believe these margin measures are helpful to investors in evaluating our refining performance on a relative and absolute basis. Refinery gross margin per produced barrel sold is total Refining segment revenues less total Refining segment cost of products sold, exclusive of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, divided by sales volumes of produced refined products sold. Net operating margin per barrel sold is the difference between refinery gross margin and refinery operating expenses per produced barrel sold. These two margins do not include the non-cash effects of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments and depreciation and amortization. Each of these component performance measures can be reconciled directly to our consolidated statements of income. Other companies in our industry may not calculate these performance measures in the same manner.

Below are reconciliations to our consolidated statements of income for refinery net operating and gross margin and operating expenses, in each case averaged per produced barrel sold. Due to rounding of reported numbers, some amounts may not calculate exactly.

Reconciliation of renewables operating information (non-GAAP performance measures) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.

Renewables gross margin and net operating margin are non-GAAP performance measures that are used by our management and others to compare our renewables performance to that of other companies in our industry. We believe these margin measures are helpful to investors in evaluating our renewables performance on a relative and absolute basis. Renewables gross margin per produced gallon sold is total Renewables segment revenues less total Renewables segment cost of products sold, exclusive of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, divided by sales volumes of produced renewables products sold. Net operating margin per produced gallon sold is the difference between renewables gross margin and renewables operating expenses per produced gallon sold. These two margins do not include the non-cash effects of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments and depreciation and amortization. Each of these component performance measures can be reconciled directly to our consolidated statements of income. Other companies in our industry may not calculate these performance measures in the same manner.

Commitment and Contingency Reserves

In the ordinary course of business, we may become party to legal, regulatory or administrative proceedings or governmental investigations, including environmental and other matters. Damages or penalties may be sought from us in some matters and certain matters may require years to resolve. While the outcome and impact of these proceedings and investigations on us cannot be predicted with certainty, based on advice of counsel and information currently available to us, management believes that the resolution of these proceedings and investigations through settlement or adverse judgment will not either individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The environmental proceedings are reported to comply with SEC regulations which require us to disclose proceedings arising under provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or protecting the environment when a governmental authority is party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that we reasonably believe could exceed $300,000 or more.

Environmental Matters

Navajo
HollyFrontier Navajo Refining LLC (now known as HF Sinclair Navajo Refining LLC (“HFS Navajo”)) has been engaged in discussions with, and has responded to document requests from, the EPA, the DOJ and the New Mexico Environment Department (“NMED”) (collectively, the “Agencies”) regarding HFS Navajo’s compliance with the Clean Air Act (“CAA”) and underlying regulations, and similar New Mexico laws and regulations, at its Artesia and Lovington, New Mexico refineries. The discussions have included the following topics: (a) alleged noncompliance with CAA’s National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (“NESHAP”) and New Source Performance Standards (“NSPS”) at the Artesia refinery, which were set forth in a Notice of Violation (“May 2020 NOV”) issued by the EPA in May 2020; (b) a Post Inspection Notice issued in June 2020 by the NMED, alleging noncompliance issues similar to those alleged by the EPA in its May 2020 NOV as well as alleged noncompliance with the State Implementation Plan (“SIP”) and the Title V permit operating programs; (c) an information request issued in September 2020 by the EPA, pursuant to CAA Section 114, related to benzene fenceline monitoring, flare fuel gas, leak detection and repair, storage vessels and tanks, and other information regarding the Artesia refinery; (d) an information request issued by the EPA in May 2021, pursuant to CAA Section 114, requesting additional information and testing related to certain tanks at the Artesia refinery; and (e) informal information requests related to, among other things, the Artesia refinery’s wastewater treatment plant, oil water separators and heat exchangers. In April 2022, June 2023 and August 2023, the EPA alleged additional CAA noncompliance at the Artesia refinery beyond the allegations in the May 2020 NOV, including alleged noncompliance with NESHAP, NSPS, SIP, Title V and other requirements.

Beginning in the spring of 2021, HFS Navajo and the Agencies began monthly meetings to discuss potential injunctive relief measures to address the alleged noncompliance at the Artesia refinery. In September 2021 and August 2023, the EPA presented to HFS Navajo potential claims for stipulated penalties for alleged noncompliance with a 2002 consent decree.

HFS Navajo continues to work with the Agencies to resolve these issues. At this time, no penalties have been demanded, and it is too early to predict the outcome of this matter.

Port of Seattle
In October 2017, Sinclair Oil received a Notice of Claim from the Port of Seattle alleging Sinclair Oil’s responsibility for the clean-up of 12.5 million gallons of bunker fuel improperly disposed of at a facility in the Port of Seattle from 1977 to 1980. Sinclair Oil responded that it did sell bunker fuel for use as a fuel for ships at the Port of Seattle during this time frame but not for disposal as is being alleged. In late 2018, Sinclair Oil received a demand letter from the Port of Seattle. Sinclair Oil and the Port of Seattle entered into a tolling agreement in mid-2019. The parties have exchanged offers, and Sinclair Oil is awaiting a response to its last offer made in August 2020. It is too early to predict the outcome of this matter.

Renewable Fuel Standard

On April 7, 2022, the EPA issued a decision reversing the grant of small refinery exemptions for our Woods Cross and Cheyenne refineries for the 2018 compliance year. On June 3, 2022, the EPA issued a decision reversing the grant of small refinery exemptions for our Woods Cross and Cheyenne refineries for the 2016 compliance year and denying small refinery exemption petitions for our Woods Cross and Cheyenne refineries for the 2019 and 2020 compliance years.

Table of Content

Various subsidiaries of HollyFrontier are currently pursuing legal challenges to the EPA’s decisions to reverse its grant of small refinery exemptions for the 2016 and 2018 compliance years. The first lawsuit, filed against the EPA on May 6, 2022 and currently pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, seeks to have the EPA’s reversal of our 2018 small refinery exemption petitions overturned. The second lawsuit, filed against the EPA on August 5, 2022 and currently pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, seeks to have the EPA’s reversal of our 2016 small refinery exemption petitions overturned and to have the EPA’s denial of our 2019 and 2020 small refinery exemption petitions reversed.

In addition, for both the 2016 and 2018 compliance years, pursuant to the June 2022 and April 2022 decisions, respectively, the EPA established an alternative compliance demonstration for small refineries pursuant to which the EPA is not imposing any obligations for the small refineries whose exemptions were reversed. On June 24, 2022, Growth Energy filed two lawsuits in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit against the EPA challenging the alternative compliance demonstration for the 2016 and 2018 compliance years. On July 25, 2022, various subsidiaries of HollyFrontier intervened on behalf of the EPA to aid the defense of the EPA’s alternative compliance demonstration decision.

It is too early to predict the outcome of these matters.

Other

We are a party to various other litigation and proceedings that we believe, based on advice of counsel, will not either individually or in the aggregate have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Except as described below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our 2022 Form 10-K and March 31, 2023 Form 10-Q, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

The HEP Merger Transaction is subject to conditions, including some conditions that may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all. Failure to complete the HEP Merger Transaction, or significant delays in completing the HEP Merger Transaction, could negatively affect the trading prices of our common stock.

The completion of the HEP Merger Transaction is not assured and is subject to certain risks, some of which are beyond our control, including the risk that certain conditions of the Merger Agreement are not satisfied or waived, which may prevent, delay or otherwise result in the HEP Merger Transaction not occurring. These conditions include, among other things, approval by the HEP unitholders by the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding HEP common units of the Merger Agreement, approval by a majority of the votes cast by our stockholders entitled to vote on such proposal of the issuance of shares of HF Sinclair common stock as part of the Merger Consideration (as defined herein) and the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “HSR Act”) (the 30-day HSR Act waiting period expired on October 10, 2023, at 11:59 PM Eastern time). We and HEP cannot predict with certainty whether and when any of these conditions will be satisfied. Failure to complete, or significant delays in completing, the HEP Merger Transaction could negatively affect the trading prices of our common stock and HEP common units.

We and HEP will each be subject to business uncertainties while the HEP Merger Transaction is pending, which could adversely affect their respective businesses.

Uncertainty about the effect of the HEP Merger Transaction on the business relationships or commercial arrangements for the companies that do business with us and HEP may have an adverse effect on our and HEP’s respective businesses. These uncertainties may impair the ability of both us and HEP to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the HEP Merger Transaction is completed and for a period of time thereafter, and could cause those that transact with us and HEP to seek to change their existing business relationships.

We may incur substantial transaction-related costs in connection with the HEP Merger Transaction.

We expect to incur substantial nonrecurring expenses in connection with completing the HEP Merger Transaction, including fees paid to legal, financial and accounting advisors, filing fees, proxy solicitation costs and printing costs. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present time. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the HEP Merger Transaction will be paid by the respective party incurring such fees and expenses except that expenses (other than the expenses of financial advisors or outside legal advisors) relating to the preparation, printing, filing and mailing of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and the related Schedule 13E-3 will be paid 50% by us and 50% by HEP and costs and fees of the exchange agent and all expenses associated with the exchange process will be paid by HF Sinclair.

We and HEP may in the future be targets of securities class action and derivative lawsuits, which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the closing of the HEP Merger Transaction.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into merger agreements in an effort to enjoin the relevant merger or seek monetary relief. We and HEP may in the future be defendants in one or more lawsuits relating to or arising out of the Merger Agreement and the HEP Merger Transaction. We and HEP cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, or others, nor can either company predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve such litigation. An unfavorable resolution of any such litigation surrounding the HEP Merger Transaction could delay or prevent its consummation. In addition, the costs of defending the litigation, even if resolved in our and HEP’s favor, could be substantial, and such litigation could divert management time and resources of HF Sinclair and HEP from pursuing the consummation of the HEP Merger Transaction and other potentially beneficial business opportunities.

REH Company will increase its holdings of our common stock following the completion of the HEP Merger Transaction and may have ability to influence our management and affairs.

As of October 23, 2023, REH Company owned approximately 12.36% of our outstanding common stock, and has the right under that certain Stockholders Agreement dated as of August 2, 2021, by and among us, REH Company and the stockholders of REH Company (the “REH Stockholders Agreement”) and that certain Unitholders Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2021, by and among HEP, the General Partner, Navajo Pipeline Co., L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, REH Company, the stockholders of REH Company and each of their permitted transferees (the “REH Unitholders Agreement”) to nominate two directors to our Board and one director to the board of the General Partner, respectively. REH Company is currently our largest stockholder.

So long as REH Company continues to control a significant amount of our common stock, it will continue to be able to influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, subject to the voting agreements of the REH Parties set forth in the REH Stockholders Agreement. Moreover, this concentration of stock ownership may also adversely affect the trading price of our common stock to the extent investors perceive a disadvantage in owning stock of a company with a significant stockholder.

Upon completion of the HEP Merger Transaction, assuming there is no decrease in REH Company’s holdings our common stock and HEP common units prior to completion of the HEP Merger Transaction, REH Company would be expected to own approximately 14.36% of both our outstanding common stock and our combined voting power. As a result, REH Company will retain certain rights under the REH Stockholders Agreement with us, including (i) the ability to nominate two directors to our Board in the event that REH Company owns at least 15% of our outstanding common stock upon completion of the HEP Merger Transaction and (ii) the ability to nominate one director to our Board in the event that REH Company continues to own less than 15% but more than or equal to 5% of our outstanding common stock upon completion of the HEP Merger Transaction. Further, the existence of a significant stockholder may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other stockholders to approve transactions that they may view as being in their best interests or in our best interests.

In the event that REH Company continues to be the owner of a significant amount our common stock, the prospect that it may be able to influence matters requiring the approval of our stockholders may continue. In any of these matters, the interests of REH Company may differ or conflict from those of our other stockholders. Moreover, in the event that REH Company continues to be the owner of a significant concentration of our common stock, such an ownership stake may also adversely affect the trading price of our common stock to the extent investors perceive a disadvantage in owning stock of a company with a significant stockholder.

Additionally, on June 14, 2023, certain lock-up provisions that restricted REH Company’s ability to transfer its shares of our common stock and HEP common units, as applicable, under the REH Stockholders Agreement and the REH Unitholders Agreement expired. As a result, and subject to the filing of a resale registration statement or satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, REH Company and its stockholders may seek to sell their shares of our common stock and HEP common units, as applicable. Such sales (or the perception that sales may occur) may affect the market for, and the market price of, our common stock and HEP common units in an adverse manner.

Financial projections by HF Sinclair may not prove to be reflective of actual future results.

In connection with the HEP Merger Transaction, our management prepared and considered, among other things, internal financial forecasts for us. These forecasts speak only as of the date made and will not be updated. These financial projections were not provided with a view to public disclosure, are subject to significant economic, competitive, industry and other uncertainties and may not be achieved in full, at all or within projected timeframes. In addition, the failure of businesses to achieve projected results could have a material adverse effect on the share price of our common stock and on our financial position and ability to maintain or increase its dividends following the HEP Merger Transaction.

(1) On August 15, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program, which replaced all existing share repurchase programs, including the $5.0 million remaining authorization under the previously existing $1.0 billion share repurchase program that was approved by our Board of Directors in September 2022. This new share repurchase program authorizes us to repurchase common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Privately negotiated repurchases from REH Company are also authorized under the new share repurchase program, subject to REH Company’s interest in selling its shares and other limitations. The timing and amount of share repurchases, including those from REH Company, will depend on market conditions and corporate, tax, regulatory and other relevant considerations. This new share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time by our Board of Directors. In addition, we are authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase shares in an amount sufficient to offset shares issued under our compensation programs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 8,200,000 and 3,074,917 shares of our outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, under our prior share repurchase program and new share repurchase program, respectively, for $410.6 million and $175.0 million, respectively, pursuant to privately negotiated repurchases from REH Company. On October 20, 2023, we repurchased 1,376,652 shares of our outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, from REH Company in a privately negotiated transaction under our new share repurchase program and pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated October 17, 2023 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) between us and REH Company. The price paid by us under the Stock Purchase Agreement was $54.48 per share resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $75.0 million. The purchase price was funded with cash on hand. As of October 20, 2023, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $750.0 million under our new share repurchase program.
