PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

On June 1, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Par Montana, LLC, Par Montana Holdings, LLC, and Par Rocky Mountain Midstream, LLC, each subsidiaries of Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (“Par” or the “Company”), completed the acquisition from ExxonMobil Corporation, ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, and ExxonMobil Pipeline Company (collectively, the “Sellers”) of (i) the high-conversion, complex refinery located in Billings, Montana and certain associated distribution and logistics assets (the “Billings Assets”), (ii) the Sellers’ 65% limited partnership equity interest in Yellowstone Energy Limited Partnership ("YELP"), (iii) and the Sellers’ 40% equity interest in Yellowstone Pipeline Company ("YPLC") (and collectively with YELP and the Billings Assets, the “Billings Acquisition”) pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity and Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of October 20, 2022 (and as amended on the Closing Date). Par completed the Billings Acquisition, including the purchase of hydrocarbon inventory and other working capital items for $315.5 million, for a total purchase price of approximately $625.5 million.

 

Par financed the Billings Acquisition, including the associated hydrocarbon inventory, with cash on hand and approximately $215.0 million borrowed pursuant to the "Billings Incremental Facility" under the Company's Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of April 26, 2023 (the "ABL Credit Agreement"), with the borrowers party thereto, the lenders party thereto, as lenders, the issuing banks party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent for each member of the lender group. To facilitate the funding for the Billings Acquisition, the ABL Credit Agreement was amended on May 30, 2023 to effect the Billings Incremental Facility, adjust the borrowing base to account for the Billings Acquisition assets, and fund an escrow account to purchase a portion of the hydrocarbon inventory associated with the Billings Acquisition on the Closing Date.

 

The Billings Acquisition and impact of the Billings Incremental Facility were included in Par’s unaudited historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023; therefore, a pro forma balance sheet is not included herein. Par’s unaudited historical condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 includes the effects of the Billings Acquisition and the Billings Incremental Facility from June 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and accompanying notes (the "Pro Forma Financial Information") for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 were prepared as if the Billings Acquisition and the Billings Incremental Facility had occurred on January 1, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the following:

.

 

Par’s audited historical consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 27, 2023;

 

Par’s unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2023 filed with the SEC on August 9, 2023;

 

The Billings Acquisition's audited historical combined financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 attached as Exhibit 99.2; and

 

The Billings Acquisition's unaudited historical condensed combined financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 attached as Exhibit 99.3.

 

The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared using currently available information and estimates and assumptions made by the Company’s management. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from the Pro Forma Financial Information. Significant estimates and assumptions include the preliminary purchase price allocation. Management believes the underlying estimates and assumptions provide a reasonable and supportable basis for presenting the significant estimated effects of the Billings Acquisition and the Billings Incremental Facility. The Pro Forma Financial Information does not purport to represent what Par's actual consolidated results of operations or financial position would have been had the Billings Acquisition and the Billings Incremental Facility occurred on the date assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of our future financial condition or consolidated results of operations.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

1.

Basis of Presentation

 

The following Pro Forma Financial Information reflects the pro forma effects of the Billings Acquisition as well as the Billings Incremental Facility.

 

The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X ("Article 11") as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” The pro forma adjustments include transaction accounting adjustments, which reflect the application of required accounting for the Billings Acquisition. Article 11 permits presentation of reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur, otherwise known as Management’s adjustments. Par has elected to present Management's adjustments in Note 5.

 

The Billings Acquisition was accounted for by Par using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measure. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments presented are preliminary and are subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value, policy alignment, and other purchase accounting adjustments. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final amounts may have a material impact on the accompanying Pro Forma Financial Information.

 

2.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

 

The preliminary purchase price for the Billings Acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably practicable, which will not extend beyond the one-year measurement period provided under ASC 805. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments could differ materially from the accounting adjustments included in the Pro Forma Financial Information presented herein. An increase or decrease in the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed could impact the Company's results of operations following the Billings Acquisition due to differences in the purchase price allocation and depreciation for some of the assets.

 

The Billings Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805. A summary of the estimated purchase price and its preliminary allocation to the net assets acquired at the Closing Date is as follows (in thousands):

 

 

Base purchase price (including a $30 million deposit funded at signing)

  $ 310,000  

Plus: estimated value of hydrocarbon inventory

    272,333  

Plus: working capital and other purchase price adjustments

The interest rate used for the Billings Incremental Facility is 6.9% as of July 31, 2023, based on the adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate of 5.4% plus the applicable margin of 1.5%. A 0.125% change in the variable interest rate of the Billings Incremental Facility would increase or decrease interest expense presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations by $0.1 million and $0.3 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

(f)

Represents the removal of the Billings Acquisition’s federal historical income tax expense due to Par’s existing net operating loss tax carryforwards that would be released through a deferred tax valuation allowance to offset future tax from the Billings Acquisition. Therefore, no federal income tax expense will be recognized from the Billings Acquisition. In addition, as a result of the Billings Acquisition, the estimated blended state tax rates of 1.0% were modified driven by the apportionment factors applicable to each state.

Managements Adjustments

 

Management expects the post-acquisition business to realize certain cost savings as compared to the historical combined costs of Par and the Billings Acquisition operating independently. Management’s adjustments, which are based on estimated costs savings related to overhead and refinery operating expenses, are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. Management estimates that, had the transaction been completed as of January 1, 2022, expenses of approximately $17.5 million and $43.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 would not have been incurred. These expenses primarily related to certain centralized information technology, procurement, management and other corporate services.

 

The adjustments shown below include those deemed necessary by management to fairly state the Pro Forma Financial Information. Management’s adjustments include forward-looking information subject to the safe harbor protections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and actual results may differ materially from what is presented below as efforts progress to integrate the Billings Acquisition’s operations.
