• | Net income of $396 million, or $3.05 per diluted share |
• | Delivered $390 million towards California synergies and business improvements year to date |
• | Tesoro Logistics LP (“TLLP”) to become full-service logistics company with announced acquisition of QEP Field Services |

SAN ANTONIO - October 30, 2014 - Tesoro Corporation (NYSE:TSO) today reported third quarter 2014 net income of $396 million, or $3.05 per diluted share compared to net income of $99 million, or $0.72 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2013. The third quarter of 2013 results included discontinued operations of $0.26 per diluted share related to the sale of the Hawaii business.
Results from continuing operations were $3.06 per diluted share compared to $0.44 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2013, excluding special items. The third quarter of 2013 results included one-time special items of $0.02 per diluted share related to integration costs, legal reserves, insurance proceeds and an inventory adjustment.
“We continue to execute on our strategic priorities and business improvement actions. In addition, our focus on operational efficiency and effectiveness resulted in strong operating performance across our integrated value chain. As a result of this progress and strong commercial results in a favorable market, we delivered the highest quarterly EBITDA in company history.” said Greg Goff, President and CEO. “With the addition of our recently announced acquisition of QEP Field Services, we plan to continue to significantly increase shareholder value by building upon our logistics capabilities.”
For the third quarter 2014, the Company recorded segment operating income of $777 million compared to segment operating income of $197 million in the third quarter of 2013. The refining segment’s operating income was $578 million for the quarter, compared to $128 million in the third quarter of 2013. The Tesoro Index was $12.32 per barrel (/bbl) for the quarter, up almost $4/bbl. The California and Pacific Northwest regions experienced an increase in the Tesoro Index compared to last year, as a result of improved market fundamentals.
Overall gross margin for the quarter was $15.49/bbl or 126% of the Tesoro Index, compared to $8.50/bbl or 101% of the Tesoro Index last year. This improvement was driven by the continued delivery of the California synergies and our business improvement initiatives.
Total throughput for the quarter was 858 thousand barrels per day, or 101% utilization. The strong margin environment, high retail demand from our integrated network and our excellent operating performance allowed us to run our refineries at slightly higher utilization than we had originally forecast. Direct manufacturing costs per barrel in the third quarter 2014 relative to the second quarter 2014 were down $0.46/bbl to $5.42/bbl as a result of higher utilization.

During the quarter, Tesoro Corporation completed the sale of the West Coast Logistics Assets to Tesoro Logistics LP for a total consideration of $270 million. The logistics segment’s operating income was $61 million, up $48 million or 369% from the third quarter of 2013. The substantial growth has been driven by increased throughput volume from the High Plains System, Los Angeles Logistics Assets and contributions from the West Coast Logistics Assets.
The retail segment’s operating income was $138 million, an increase of 146% year-over-year from $56 million in the third quarter of last year. Strong sales from our ARCO network, our expanding Exxon and Mobil retail branding program and favorable market conditions resulting from strong demand and slowly decreasing crude oil prices resulted in record level retail segment performance. Same store fuel sales were higher during the quarter by approximately 1% versus third quarter last year.
Corporate and unallocated costs were $75 million, including $4 million of corporate depreciation. This is higher than our run rate due to the timing impact of employee costs.
Capital Spending and Liquidity
Capital spending for the third quarter 2014 was $131 million for Tesoro Corporation and $63 million for TLLP. The Company now estimates full year 2014 capital spending, excluding TLLP, of $550 million, a $75 million reduction from prior guidance. TLLP capital spending is estimated to be approximately $200 million. Turnaround expenditures for the third quarter were $19 million. The Company expects full year 2014 turnaround spending of $195 million and deferred retail branding costs of $20 million.
The Company ended the third quarter with $1.5 billion in cash and $2.2 billion of availability on the Tesoro Corporation revolving credit facility. There are currently no borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Excluding TLLP debt and equity, total debt was $1.7 billion or 27% of total capitalization at the end of the third quarter 2014. On a consolidated basis total outstanding debt was $2.9 billion.
TLLP ended the quarter with $243 million in borrowings under its separate revolving credit facility.
Returning Cash to Shareholders
During the third quarter, Tesoro returned about $189 million to shareholders through the purchase of nearly 2.5 million of the Company’s shares for $150 million and its regular quarterly dividend of $39 million.
Through the end of October, the Company has purchased an additional $50 million of shares and we expect to complete the remaining $100 million under the $1.0 billion share repurchase program by the end of 2014. The Company expects to continue repurchasing shares in 2015 under the new $1.0 billion share repurchase program authorized by the board of directors in July 2014.
Tesoro Corporation today also announced that the board of directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share payable on December 15, 2014, to all holders of record as of November 28, 2014.

Strategic Update
Through the end of September we estimate that we delivered $390 million towards our ongoing initiatives around synergy and business improvement objectives. These initiatives, which focus on improving capture rates and managing our costs to drive improvement in operating income, are clearly reflected in our results this quarter. We expect to exceed our full year estimate of $370 to $430 million for 2014.
On October 20, 2014, we announced that TLLP will become a full-service logistics company through acquisition of QEP Field Services for $2.5 billion, including 58% ownership in QEP Midstream Partners. After the announcement TLLP successfully completed the $1.3 billion of equity and $1.3 billion of debt offerings to finance this acquisition. Tesoro participated in the equity offering investing an additional $500 million to purchase 8.7 million TLLP common units. Prior to the transaction Tesoro owned 19.5 million TLLP common units or 33% and after the recent equity offering we now own 28.2 million TLLP common units or 35% of the outstanding TLLP units. The Company is excited about the opportunity as this acquisition advances our distinctive strategy to build a customer-focused full-service logistics business, broadening Tesoro’s capabilities across the value chain to deliver enhanced shareholder value.
With the growth in the base logistics business we expect 2015 EBITDA to grow $75 to $100 million over 2014 and with the announced acquisition of QEP Field Services, TLLP expects to generate an additional $250 to $275 million before integration expenses. Tesoro is focused on driving further EBITDA growth and continuing to increase distributions.
The permit process for the Vancouver Energy project, to construct a 360 thousand barrel per day crude oil rail-to-marine terminal, is continuing to progress with Washington State’s Energy Facility Site Evaluation Committee (“EFSEC”). We have fully submitted the Preliminary Draft Environmental Impact Study to EFSEC. We expect EFSEC to release the Draft Environmental Impact Study for public comment and begin the adjudicative phase shortly, which is the last stage prior to a recommendation being submitted to the governor of Washington. The joint venture will begin construction of the facilities upon governor approval of the project and issuance of permits. Project construction is estimated to take nine to twelve months, however initial operations are expected to begin within six months of start of construction.
The Los Angeles refinery integration project, which is designed to improve the flexibility of gasoline and diesel yields and reduce emissions, is moving forward and the initial permits were submitted during the third quarter. We expect the project, which is still subject to final regulatory and board approval, to be completed in early 2017.
We are progressing forward with the review and commercialization efforts around the West Coast Mixed Xylenes project we announced in July. This $400 million project to build a 15 thousand barrel per day mixed xylene extraction unit in Anacortes, Washington will supply the growing global xylene market from our West Coast refining system. This is an attractive diversification of Tesoro’s product mix and supports our goals of enhancing our gross margin and investing in high return capital projects.

Factors Affecting Comparability
As of December 31, 2013, we began reporting the logistics assets and operations of our consolidated variable interest entity, Tesoro Logistics LP (“TLLP”), as a separate operating segment. In previous periods, when certain quantitative thresholds had not been met, TLLP’s assets and operations were presented within our refining operating segment. TLLP’s assets and operations include certain crude oil gathering assets and crude oil and refined products terminalling and transportation assets acquired from Tesoro and third parties. The TLLP financial and operational data presented include the historical results of all assets acquired from Tesoro prior to the acquisition dates. The historical results of operations of these assets have been retrospectively adjusted to conform to current presentation. These adjustments resulted in lower gross refining margins. The refining segment now includes costs for transportation and terminalling services provided by TLLP that were previously eliminated with consolidated reporting of TLLP revenues within our refining segment results.
On September 25, 2013, we completed the sale of all of our interest in Tesoro Hawaii, LLC, which operated a 94 thousand barrels per day (“Mbpd”) Hawaii refinery, retail stations and associated logistics assets (the “Hawaii Business”). As a result, we have reflected its results as discontinued operations in the results of operations for all periods presented and have excluded the Hawaii Business from the financial and operational data presented in the tables that follow.

The significant impact to stock-based compensation expense is primarily a result of changes in Tesoro’s stock price during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Also includes transaction and integration costs related to our acquisition of BP’s integrated Southern California refining, marketing and logistics business on June 1, 2013 from BP West Coast Products, LLC and other affiliated sellers (the “Los Angeles Acquisition”) and TLLP’s acquisition of Chevron’s northwest products system of $14 million ($9 million after-tax) and $47 million ($30 million after-tax) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. |

___________________________
(j) | We define heavy crude oil as crude oil with an American Petroleum Institute gravity of 24 degrees or less. |
(k) | Sources of total refined product sales include refined products manufactured at our refineries and refined products purchased from third parties. Total refined product sales margins include margins on sales of manufactured and purchased refined products. |
(l) | Gross refining margin includes the effect of intersegment sales to the retail segment at prices which approximate market and fees charged by TLLP for the transportation and terminalling of crude oil and refined products at prices which we believe are no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. Gross refining margin approximates total refining throughput multiplied by the gross refining margin per barrel. |
(m) | Management uses various measures to evaluate performance and efficiency and to compare profitability to other companies in the industry, including gross refining margin per barrel, manufacturing costs before depreciation and amortization expense (“Manufacturing Costs”) per barrel and refined product sales margin per barrel. We calculate gross refining margin per barrel by dividing gross refining margin (revenues less costs of feedstocks, purchased refined products, transportation and distribution) by total refining throughput. We calculate Manufacturing Costs per barrel by dividing Manufacturing Costs by total refining throughput. We calculate refined product sales margin per barrel by dividing refined product sales and refined product cost of sales by total refining throughput, and subtracting refined product cost of sales per barrel from refined product sales per barrel. Investors and analysts use these financial measures to help analyze and compare companies in the industry on the basis of operating performance. These financial measures should not be considered alternatives to segment operating income, revenues, costs of sales and operating expenses or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |

(r) | Management uses fuel margin per gallon to compare fuel results to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate fuel margin per gallon; different companies may calculate it in different ways. We calculate fuel margin per gallon by dividing fuel gross margin by fuel sales volumes. Investors and analysts may use fuel margin per gallon to help analyze and compare companies in the industry on the basis of operating performance. This financial measure should not be considered an alternative to revenues, segment operating income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Fuel margin and fuel margin per gallon include the effect of intersegment purchases from the refining segment at prices which approximate market. |

(s) | EBITDA represents consolidated earnings, excluding net earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, before depreciation and amortization expense, net interest and financing costs, income taxes and interest income.We present EBITDA because we believe some investors and analysts use EBITDA to help analyze our cash flows including our ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations with respect to our indebtedness and use cash for other purposes, including capital expenditures. EBITDA is also used by some investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance and by management for internal analysis. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. GAAP net earnings or net cash from operating activities. EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, because it excludes some items that affect net earnings and net cash from operating activities. |
