REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Employee Benefits Committee of
Tesoro Corporation Thrift Plan and
Tesoro Corporation Retail Savings Plan


Thrift Plan and Tesoro Corporation Retail Savings Plan (collectively referred to as the Plans) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the Plans for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Plans management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Tesoro Corporation Thrift Plan and Tesoro Corporation Retail Savings Plan as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets (held at end of year as of December 31, 2013), together referred to as “supplemental information,” are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements but are supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Such information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole .

TESORO CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN
TESORO CORPORATION RETAIL SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANS

The accompanying financial statements comprise the defined contribution plans of Tesoro Corporation ("Tesoro" or the "Company") that participate in the Tesoro Corporation Savings Plan Master Trust (the "Master Trust"). The following description of the Tesoro Corporation Thrift Plan and the Tesoro Corporation Retail Savings Plan (the "Plans") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the applicable formal plan document for more complete information. The Plans are subject to, and comply with, the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").

The purpose of the Plans is to encourage Company employees to save and invest a portion of their eligible compensation, as defined, to have an additional source of income upon their retirement or disability, or for their family in the event of death. Benefits provided by the Plans are in addition to benefits that participants are entitled to receive under any other programs of the Company and under the Federal Social Security Act. The investments in the Master Trust are held by Fidelity Management Trust Company ("Fidelity" or the "Trustee"). Fidelity is responsible for holding, investing and accounting for the assets of the Plans and maintaining separate accounts for all participants of the Plans. The Plans are administered by the Employee Benefits Committee, consisting of individuals appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Tesoro Corporation Thrift Plan

The Tesoro Corporation Thrift Plan ("Thrift Plan"), originally adopted as of April 1, 1979, is a voluntary defined contribution plan open to certain non-union employees of Tesoro. Employees whose positions are covered by a collective bargaining agreement may participate if the Thrift Plan is included in the agreement.

Participant Contributions - Contributions are made to the Thrift Plan by the Company on behalf of each eligible employee based upon their elected compensation deferral through payroll deductions. Thrift Plan participants may elect a Roth 401(k) contribution option, allowing participants to make contributions on an after-tax basis. Under the Roth 401(k) option, accumulated investment earnings on contributions are tax free to the participant on qualified distributions.

Participants can contribute up to 50% of eligible pay on a pre-tax, Roth, or after-tax basis, or any combination not to exceed 50% of their eligible pay. The total combined pre-tax and Roth contribution amounts cannot exceed the annual Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") dollar limit ($17,500 in 2013). Employees age 50 and over may contribute additional pre-tax and/or Roth catch-up contributions ($5,500 in 2013) to the Thrift Plan. Certain highly compensated employees may be subject to more restrictive maximum deferrals, including no after-tax contributions. The Thrift Plan is required to return contributions received during the year in excess of the IRS limits. Refunds of employee contributions in excess of IRS or the Plans limits totaled $303,966 for the year ended December 31, 2013. These refunds were distributed subsequent to December 31, 2013, and are recorded as a liability on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Employer Contributions - The Thrift Plan allows for a Company match on the first 6% of base pay, for those contributing on either a pre-tax and/or Roth basis to the Thrift Plan, including "catch-up contributions." Regular after-tax contributions, contributions on bonus pay and contributions on unscheduled overtime pay are not matched by the Company. The Company's matching contributions are invested in one or more of the investment options, or the Tesoro Corporation Common Stock Fund (the "Tesoro Stock Fund"), at the option of the participant. Employees may also use their own contributions to invest in the Tesoro Stock Fund.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company began a profit-sharing contribution to the Thrift Plan. This discretionary contribution, calculated as a percentage of employee's base pay based on a pre-determined target for the calendar year, can range from 0% to 4% based on actual performance. Contributions will normally be made following the performance year. All employees eligible for the Thrift Plan who are employed on December 31 of the year the results are achieved

TESORO CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN
TESORO CORPORATION RETAIL SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

are qualified to receive this contribution, even if they are not contributing to the Thrift Plan. The 2013 discretionary profit-sharing contribution to the Thrift Plan of $4.3 million was contributed by the Company in February 2014, and is reflected as an Employer Contribution Receivable on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Vesting - Employees are fully vested at all times in their participant and Company non-elective contributions. Company matching contributions and any related earnings are 100% vested after one year of service. Upon voluntary termination of employment prior to normal retirement for reasons other than disability or death, an employee will be entitled to the total of his or her participant contributions to the Thrift Plan and the vested portion of the Company contributions made to the employee's account. Generally, vesting service begins with the employment date and ends upon termination of service with the Company.

Forfeitures - Upon termination of service, a participant's nonvested portion of the Company's matching contribution may be used to reduce future employer contributions or to pay reasonable administrative expenses. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $87,278 and $90,361, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2013, forfeited nonvested accounts in the amount of $64,650 were used to pay administrative expenses. No forfeited nonvested accounts were used to reduce employer contributions during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Revenue Sharing - Under the Thrift Plan, certain funds offer revenue sharing. During the year ended December 31, 2013, revenue sharing credits in the amount of $443,636 were used to pay administrative expenses of the Thrift Plan.

Tesoro Corporation Retail Savings Plan

The Tesoro Corporation Retail Savings Plan ("Retail Savings Plan"), adopted as of January 1, 2001, is a voluntary defined contribution plan open to all retail store employees of Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC, Tesoro West Coast Company, LLC, Tesoro Hawaii, LLC and Tesoro Northstore Company through the assistant manager level who have completed one year of service and have worked at least 1,000 hours during their first year of service or any calendar year thereafter. Tesoro Hawaii, LLC employees participated in the plan until Tesoro Hawaii, LLC was sold on September 25, 2013.

Participant Contributions - Eligible employees who choose to participate can contribute up to 50% of their eligible pay on a pre-tax basis. Retail Savings Plan participants may also elect a Roth 401(k) contribution option, allowing them to make contributions on an after-tax basis. When combined, total pre-tax and Roth contributions cannot exceed 50% of a participant's eligible pay. The maximum annual contributions to the Plan may not exceed the annual IRS dollar limit ($17,500 in 2013). Participants who have attained age 50 before the close of the Retail Savings Plan year will be eligible to make additional pre-tax and/or Roth catch-up contributions subject to the limitations of the IRS dollar limit ($5,500 in 2013).

Employer Contributions - The Retail Savings Plan provides a 50% match on the employee's first 6% of pre-tax or Roth contributions for each pay period. Contributions on bonus pay and certain types of overtime are not matched by the Company. The Company's matching contributions are invested in one or more of the investment options, or the Tesoro Stock Fund, at the option of the participant. Employees may also use their own contributions to invest in the Tesoro Stock Fund.

Under the Retail Savings Plan, the Company contributes a 3% non-elective contribution ("NEC") of the participant's eligible earnings paid during the period. If a participant does not make a deferral election, the default contribution will be to the participant's age appropriate lifecycle fund. This 3% NEC is made in one payment after the end of the plan year.  The 2013 and 2012 NEC contributions of $501,496 and $512,005, respectively, are reflected as an Employer Contribution Receivable on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and were contributed by the Company in March 2014 and March 2013, respectively.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Vesting - Employees are fully vested at all times in their participant and Company (NEC and matching) contributions as well as discretionary non-elective deferrals. Upon termination of employment, an employee will be entitled to the total of his or her participant contributions to the Retail Savings Plan and the Company contributions made to the employee's account.

Revenue Sharing - Under the Retail Savings Plan, certain funds offer revenue sharing. During the year ended December 31, 2013, revenue sharing credits in the amount of $1,018 were used to pay administrative expenses of the Retail Savings Plan.

General

Participant Accounts - Individual accounts are maintained for each of the Plans' participants. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, the Company's contributions and the respective Plans' earnings and charged with withdrawals and an allocation of the respective Plans' losses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined.

Investment Options - Participants may elect to invest in numerous investment options offered under their respective plan. Participants may change the percentage they contribute and the investment direction of their contributions. The investment menu is comprised of target date funds, actively managed funds, index funds and the Tesoro Stock Fund.

Loans - Generally, participants can borrow the lesser of $50,000 or one half of their vested account balance from the Plans with a minimum loan of $1,000. Such loans are secured by the participant's vested account balance and bear interest at the prime rate plus 1%. Outstanding loans at December 31, 2013 incur interest at 4.25% for the Retail Savings Plan and at rates between 4.25% and 9.75% for the Thrift Plan. The Plans allow for new loans with original terms of six months to five years. Upon termination of employment, the loan repayment may continue at the election of the participant. If payments are in default, the unpaid loan balance will be treated as a distribution to the participant.

Payment of Benefits - Upon termination of employment, involuntary layoff, retirement, disability or death, the participant or the participant's beneficiary (distributee) will be provided the opportunity to request a distribution from the Plans. The Thrift Plan permits at-will withdrawals of the after-tax employee contributions. Any hardship withdrawals from amounts constituting the before-tax employee contribution will result in a six-month suspension of further contributions.

Administrative Expenses - The Plans allow for the payment of administrative expenses by either the Plans or the Company. Forfeited nonvested accounts and revenue sharing credits are used to pay administrative fees.  Any additional fees are paid by the Company, except for those related to participant loans or withdrawals.

Plan Termination - Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plans to discontinue its contributions at any time and terminate the Plans subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event that the Plans are terminated, participants would become 100% vested in their account.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting - The financial statements of the Plans have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires plan management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and supplemental schedule. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

TESORO CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN
TESORO CORPORATION RETAIL SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - Investments held by the Master Trust are stated at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). See Note D for further discussion and disclosures related to fair value measurements.

Investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plans. As required, the statements of net assets available for benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts, as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Payments of Benefits - As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no participant initiated withdrawals from either plan that had not been distributed. Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

Notes Receivable from Participants - Notes receivable from participants represent participant loans that are recorded at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on notes receivable from participants is recorded when it is earned. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses when incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2013 or 2012. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments, and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be a distribution, the participant loan balance is reduced, and a benefit payment is recorded.

NOTE C - INTEREST IN THE TESORO CORPORATION SAVINGS PLAN MASTER TRUST

The Plans' assets are held in the Master Trust. The purpose of the Master Trust is the collective investment of assets of the participating Plans. Each participating Plans' interest in the Master Trust is based on account balances of the participants and their elected investment fund options. The Master Trust assets are allocated among the participating plans by assigning to each plan those transactions (primarily contributions, benefit payments, and plan-specific expenses) that can be specifically identified, and by allocating investment income and administrative expenses to the individual plans on a daily basis based on each participant's account balance within each investment fund option.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the percentage interests in the net assets of the Master Trust were as follows:

NOTE D - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified into the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 - valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2 - valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

Level 3 - valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is classified is determined based on the level of the input that is significant to the fair value measure in its entirety.

Common stock is valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual security is traded and are categorized as level 1. Shares of mutual funds are valued using quoted market prices from national securities exchanges, which represent the net asset value ("NAV") of shares held by the Master Trust at year-end and are categorized as level 1. Common/collective trust funds are stated at NAV as determined by the issuer of the fund and are categorized as level 2.

The Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II is a common/collective trust fund that invests in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. The fund may invest in fixed interest insurance investment contracts, money market funds, corporate and government bonds, mortgage-backed securities, bond funds and other fixed income securities. The fair value of the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II is calculated by the issuer of the fund using a discounted cash flow model, which considers (i) recent fee bids as determined by recognized dealers, (ii) discount rate and (iii) the duration of the underlying portfolio securities. This fund is recorded at fair value; however, since these contracts are fully benefit-responsive, an adjustment is reflected in the statements of net assets available for benefits to present this investment at contract value. Contract value is the relevant measurement attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plans. The contract value represents contributions plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.

______________
(a)
This category consists of the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II. This common/collective trust fund is designed to deliver safety and stability by preserving principal and accumulating earnings. This fund invests in benefit-responsive investment contracts issued by insurance companies and other financial institutions, fixed income securities and money market funds. Under the terms of the benefit-responsive investment contracts, assets of the fund are invested in fixed income securities and shares of money market funds. Participant-directed redemptions have no restrictions; however, the Plans are required to provide a one year redemption notice to liquidate their entire share in the funds. The fair value of this fund has been estimated based on the fair value of the underlying investment contracts in the funds as reported by the issuer of the funds. As noted above, the fair value differs from the contract value.
(b)
This category consists of the Artisan International Growth Trust Fund ("Trust Fund"), which is a collective investment trust. The investment objective of the Trust Fund is to seek long-term capital growth by investing mainly in publicly traded corporate equities (including common and preferred stocks, warrants and depositary receipts) of non-U.S. companies across a broad capitalization range. Participant-directed redemptions have no restrictions; however, the Trustee reserves the right to require five business days advance written notice from the Plans for withdrawal. The fair value of the Trust Fund has been estimated based on the fair value of the underlying investments in the Trust Fund as reported by the issuer of the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund's investments consist of common stock and time deposits.

(c)
This category consists of the Robeco Large Cap Value Equity Fund ("Equity Fund"), which is a collective investment trust. The Equity Fund's investment objective is to outperform its benchmark index, the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Equity Fund invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including, without limitation, American Depository Receipts of non-U.S. issuers, that are denominated in U.S. dollars and trade in U.S. markets, including, without limitation, on U.S. exchanges or in the over-the-counter market. Participant-directed redemptions have no restrictions; however, the Trustee reserves the right to require five business days advance written notice from the Plans for withdrawal. The fair value of the Equity Fund has been estimated based on the fair value of the underlying investments in the Equity Fund as reported by the issuer of the Equity Fund. The Equity Fund's investments consist of common stock and short-term investments.

NOTE E - EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain investments of the Plans are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity, the Trustee, as defined by the Plans. Therefore, these transactions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Plans held shares of common stock of the Company, in the Master Trust. The number and the cost basis of the shares held by each of the Plans are shown below:

NOTE F - FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plans have received determination letters from the IRS (dated as shown below) stating that the Plans are qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation.
Plan
 
Date
Thrift Plan
 
March 4, 2010
Retail Savings Plan
 
August 26, 2010

The Plans have been amended or restated since the most recent determination letters. Once qualified, the Plans are required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain their qualification. The Plans' administrator believes the Plans are being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and therefore believes the Plans, as amended, are qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.

U.S. GAAP requires management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plans. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plans and has concluded that as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plans have recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Plans are subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009.

(628,331

The accompanying financial statements present fully benefit-responsive contracts at contract value. The Form 5500 requires fully benefit-responsive investment contracts to be reported at fair value. Therefore, the adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts represents a reconciling item.

NOTE H - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plans provide for investments in various securities through the Master Trust's investment funds offered to participants, including but not limited to, various mutual funds and equity of the Company, among others. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, credit, liquidity and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and participant account balances.
