關於前瞻性聲明的警示
本季度10-Q表格中包含某些「前瞻性聲明」，如《1995年私人證券訴訟改革法》（PSLRA）所定義，涉及風險和不確定性的預期未來發展。您可以識別前瞻性聲明，因爲它們包含諸如「相信」，「期望」，「可能」，「應該」，「尋求」，「大約」，「打算」，「計劃」，「估計」，「預計」或類似表達與我們的策略，計劃或意圖相關的詞語。我們所作的涉及我們估計和預測收入，利潤率，成本，支出，現金流量，增長率和財務結果或我們的策略，目標，意圖，資源以及關於未來行業趨勢的期望的所有聲明都是根據PSLRA的安全港規定下的前瞻性聲明，但與合夥企業或有限責任公司的運營有關的聲明除外。此外，我們的高級管理層不時就我們對未來運營績效和其他發展的預期進行前瞻性公開聲明。這些前瞻性聲明可能隨時面臨風險和不確定性的變化，因此我們的實際結果可能與我們預期的不符。我們的許多前瞻性聲明都是基於我們的經營預算和預測，這些預算和預測基於許多詳細的假設。儘管我們認爲我們的假設是合理的，但我們警告說很難預測已知因素的影響，當然，我們無法預料所有可能影響我們實際結果的因素。
具有可能導致實際結果與我們預期有重大不同的重要因素，我們稱之爲"警示性聲明"，已在本表格10-Q的"管理層對財務狀況和運營結果的討論與分析"以及其他地方披露，在截至2023年12月31日的pbf energy年度報告，也就是我們稱之爲2023年度報告的10-k表格以及我們在美國證券交易委員會（「SEC」）的其他文件中。在本季度報告10-Q中所有前瞻性信息以及我們提供的後續書面和口頭前瞻性聲明，或代表我們行事的個人明確受到警示性聲明的完全限制。我們認爲可能影響我們結果的一些因素包括：
•supply, demand, prices and other market conditions for our products or crude oil, including volatility in commodity prices or constraints arising from federal, state, or local governmental actions or environmental and/or social activists that reduce crude oil production or availability in the regions in which we operate our pipelines and facilities;
•rate of inflation and its impact on supply and demand, pricing, and supply chain disruption;
•the effects related to, or resulting from, geopolitical conflict around the world, including Russia’s military action in Ukraine, ongoing armed hostilities in the middle east and disruptions in international shipping, resulting from ongoing attacks by armed groups on cargo ships in the Red Sea, including the imposition of additional sanctions and export controls, the potential expansion of such conflicts to other nations or regions, as well as the broader impacts to financial markets and the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environment;
•the effectiveness of our crude oil sourcing strategies, including our crude by rail strategy and related commitments;
•our obligation to buy Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) and market risks related to the volatility in the price of RINs required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) and greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emission credits required to comply with various GHG emission programs, such as California Assembly Bill 32 (“AB 32”);
•our ability to operate our businesses efficiently, manage capital expenditures and costs (including general and administrative expenses) and generate earnings and cash flow;
•our expectations with respect to our capital spending and turnaround projects;
3


•the impact of current and future laws, rulings, and governmental regulations, including restrictions on the exploration and/or production of crude oil in the state of California, the implementation of rules and regulations regarding transportation of crude oil by rail or in response to the potential impacts of climate change, decarbonization and future energy transition and public policy in opposition to recent refining industry profits;
•adverse impacts related to legislation by the federal government lifting the restrictions on exporting U.S. crude oil or subjecting us to trade and sanctions laws, which change frequently as a result of foreign policy developments, and which may necessitate changes to our crude oil acquisition activities;
•our ability to manage our costs and expenses;
•political pressure and influence of environmental groups and other stakeholders on decisions and policies related to the refining, processing and storage of crude oil and refined products, and the related adverse impacts from changes in our regulatory environment, such as the effects of compliance with AB 32 and/or California Assembly Bill ABX2-1, or from actions taken by environmental interest groups;
•the risk of cyber-attacks;
•our increased dependence on technology;
•the effects of competition in our markets;
•the possibility that we might reduce or not pay dividends in the future;
•the inability of our subsidiaries to freely make distributions to us;
•our ability to make acquisitions or investments, including in renewable diesel production, and to realize the benefits from such acquisitions or investments;
•our ability to successfully manage the operations of our 50-50 equity method investment, St. Bernard Renewables LLC (“SBR”), which owns the biorefinery co-located with our Chalmette refinery in Louisiana (the “Renewable Diesel Facility”), together with our partner, Eni Sustainable Mobility US Inc., a subsidiary of Eni SpA (“Eni”);
•liabilities arising from recent acquisitions or investments, that are unforeseen or exceed our expectations;
•our expectations and timing with respect to our acquisition and investment activity and whether such acquisitions and investments are accretive or dilutive to shareholders;
•adverse developments in our relationship with both our key employees and unionized employees;
•our indebtedness, including the impact of potential downgrades to our corporate credit rating and/or unsecured notes;
•changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and capital costs;
•restrictive covenants in our indebtedness that may adversely affect our operational flexibility;
•counterparty credit and performance risk exposure related to our supply and inventory intermediation arrangements, if any;
•payments by PBF Energy to the current and former holders of PBF LLC Series A Units and PBF LLC Series B Units, or their permitted assignees, under PBF Energy’s tax receivable agreement entered with the PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B unitholders (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) for certain tax benefits we may claim;
4


•our assumptions regarding payments arising under PBF Energy’s Tax Receivable Agreement and other arrangements relating to our organizational structure are subject to change due to various factors, including, among other factors, the timing of exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock as contemplated by the Tax Receivable Agreement, the price of PBF Energy Class A common stock at the time of such exchanges, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable, and the amount and timing of our income; and
•the impact of disruptions to crude or feedstock supply to any of our refineries or our Renewable Diesel Facility, or with third-party logistics infrastructure or operations, including pipeline, marine and rail transportation.
We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all of the material factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not in fact occur. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on those statements.
Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of the Business
PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) is the sole managing member of PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”), with a controlling interest in PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries and records a noncontrolling interest in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements representing the economic interests of PBF LLC’s members other than PBF Energy (refer to “Note 7 - Equity”).
PBF Energy holds a 99.3% economic interest in PBF LLC as of September 30, 2024 through its ownership of PBF LLC Series C Units, which are held solely by PBF Energy. Holders of PBF LLC Series A Units, which are held by parties other than PBF Energy (“the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy”), hold the remaining 0.7% economic interest in PBF LLC. In addition, the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC provides that any PBF LLC Series A Units acquired by PBF Energy will automatically be reclassified as PBF LLC Series C Units in connection with such acquisition. PBF LLC, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, owns and operates oil refineries and related facilities in North America. Additionally, PBF LLC, together with its subsidiaries, own an interest in an equity method investment in St. Bernard Renewables LLC (“SBR”) that owns and operates a biorefinery co-located with the Chalmette refinery in Louisiana (the “Renewable Diesel Facility”).
Collectively, PBF Energy and its consolidated subsidiaries, are referred to hereinafter as the “Company” unless the context otherwise requires.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the PBF Energy financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments in this ASU retrospectively. The Company’s adoption of this guidance will result in additional disclosure requirements but is not anticipated to have a significant impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU requires a public business entity to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. For public business entities, the new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments in this ASU prospectively or retrospectively. The Company’s adoption of this guidance will result in additional disclosure requirements but is not anticipated to have a significant impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(a) The Company is subject to obligations to purchase Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. The Company’s overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). To the degree the Company is unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy its RINs obligation, RINs must be purchased on the open market to avoid penalties and fines. The Company records its RINs obligation on a net basis in Accrued expenses when its RINs liability is greater than the amount of RINs earned and purchased in a given period and in Prepaid and other current assets when the amount of RINs earned and purchased is greater than the RINs liability. In addition, the Company is subject to obligations to comply with federal and state legislative and regulatory measures, including regulations in the state of California pursuant to Assembly Bill 32 (“AB 32”), to address environmental compliance and greenhouse gas and other emissions. These requirements include incremental costs to operate and maintain the Company’s facilities as well as to implement and manage new emission controls and programs. Renewable energy credit and emissions obligations fluctuate with the volume of applicable product sales and timing of credit purchases. From time to time, the Company enters into forward purchase commitments in order to acquire its renewable energy and emissions credits at fixed prices. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had forward purchase commitments in excess of total current accrued renewable energy and emissions obligations. The Company’s RIN obligations will be settled in accordance with established regulatory deadlines. The Company’s current AB 32 liability is part of an ongoing triennial period program which will next be settled in the fourth quarter of 2024.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions and agreements with SBR
The Company and its subsidiaries have entered into various agreements with SBR, in which it has a 50% equity investment, but does not control. In connection with the commencement of operations at SBR, the Company has provided limited financial performance guarantees to certain of SBR’s third-party suppliers for various commercial transactions, primarily for the purchase of feedstock inventory. Although the Company does not currently expect to perform under such guarantees, it is entitled to certain indemnification protections from Eni in the event that it is required to perform.
Commercial Agreements
PBF Holding Company LLC (“PBF Holding”) has entered into commercial agreements with SBR for the purchase and sale of RINs and Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) credits. The Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Renewable Identification Numbers was initiated on June 1, 2023, and the Leadership for Energy Automated Processing Master Agreement for Purchasing and Selling of LCFS credits was initiated on August 1, 2023. Both agreements had initial terms of three months. Upon the expiration of the initial terms, both agreements have been, and may continue to be, automatically renewed for successive three-month periods unless earlier terminated by the Company or SBR via written notice at least two months in advance of expiration.
Operating Agreement
The Company entered into an operation and management services and secondment agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) with SBR in June 2023, pursuant to which the Company provides SBR with the personnel necessary for SBR to operate so that it may perform its obligations under the commercial agreements. The Company charges SBR a fixed operating fee under the agreement and SBR reimburses the Company for the use of employees and the provision of certain infrastructure-related services to the extent applicable to its operations.

Other Agreements
In addition to the agreements described above, the Company entered into an omnibus agreement with SBR for the provision of executive management services and support for accounting and finance, legal, human resources, information technology, environmental, health and safety, and other administrative functions (the “Omnibus Agreement”). Pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, the Company charges SBR a fixed administrative fee and SBR reimburses the Company for the services utilized. Furthermore, the Company entered into a common asset use and servitude agreement (the “CAUSA”) with SBR, pursuant to which the Company provides Chalmette Refining LLC (“Chalmette Refining”) and SBR certain services with certain common use assets utilized. The cost of operations and maintenance for the common use assets is allocated between Chalmette Refining and SBR. Additionally, from time to time, the Company enters into short-term lease agreements for the use of marine vessels currently leased by SBR. Since these lease terms are less than one year, they are not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Summary of Transactions with SBR
A summary of the Company’s related party transactions with SBR is as follows:

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary conduct of the Company’s business, the Company is from time to time subject to lawsuits, investigations, and claims, including class action proceedings, mass tort actions, tort actions, environmental claims, and employee-related matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but the Company accrues liabilities for these matters if the Company has determined that it is probable a loss has been incurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. For such ongoing matters for which the Company has not recorded a liability but losses are reasonably possible, the Company is unable to estimate a range of possible losses at this time due to various reasons that may include but are not limited to, matters being in an early stage and not fully developed through pleadings, discovery or court proceedings, number of potential claimants being unknown or uncertainty regarding a number of different factors underlying the potential claims. However, the ultimate resolution of one or more of these contingencies could result in an adverse outcome that may have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental Matters
The Company’s refineries, pipelines and related operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment (including in response to the potential impacts of climate change), waste management and the characteristics and the compositions of fuels. Compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations can increase the overall cost of operating the refineries, including remediation, operating costs, and capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities.
These laws and permits raise potential exposure to future claims and lawsuits involving environmental and safety matters which could include soil and water contamination, air pollution, personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by substances which the Company manufactured, handled, used, released, or disposed of, transported, or that relate to pre-existing conditions for which the Company has assumed responsibility. The Company believes that its current operations are in compliance with existing environmental and safety requirements. However, there have been and will continue to be ongoing discussions about environmental and safety matters between the Company and federal and state authorities, including notices of violations (“NOVs”), citations, and other enforcement actions, some of which have resulted or may result in changes to operating procedures and in capital expenditures. While it is often difficult to quantify future environmental or safety related expenditures, the Company anticipates that continuing capital investments and changes in operating procedures will be required for the foreseeable future to comply with existing and new requirements, as well as evolving interpretations and more strict enforcement of existing laws and regulations.
In connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, the Company assumed certain pre-existing environmental liabilities. The estimated costs related to these remediation obligations totaled $107.8 million as of September 30, 2024 ($114.9 million as of December 31, 2023) and related primarily to remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and the related monitoring and clean-up activities. Costs related to these obligations are reassessed periodically or when changes to the Company’s remediation approach are identified. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in Accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in Other long-term liabilities.
The aggregate environmental liability reflected on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $150.6 million and $157.8 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, of which $137.9 million and $141.2 million, respectively, were classified as Other long-term liabilities. These liabilities include remediation and monitoring costs expected to be incurred over an extended period of time. Estimated liabilities could increase in the future when the results of ongoing investigations become known, are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated.

Tax Receivable Agreement
PBF Energy entered into a tax receivable agreement with the PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B unitholders (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by PBF Energy to such persons of an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that PBF Energy is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis, as described below, and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the benefits deemed realized by PBF Energy will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of PBF Energy (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that PBF Energy would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC as a result of purchases or exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and had PBF Energy not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless: (i) PBF Energy exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) PBF Energy breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or (iii) certain changes of control occur, in which case all obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally be accelerated and due as calculated under certain assumptions.
The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are obligations of PBF Energy and not of any of its subsidiaries. In general, PBF Energy expects to obtain funding for these annual payments from PBF LLC, primarily through tax distributions, which PBF LLC makes on a pro-rata basis to its owners. Such owners include PBF Energy, which holds a 99.3% interest in PBF LLC as of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. PBF LLC generally obtains funding to pay its tax distributions by causing PBF Holding to distribute cash to PBF LLC and from distributions it receives from PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX”).
As of September 30, 2024, PBF Energy recognized a liability of $291.8 million related to the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation, of which $121.8 million was recorded as a current liability and represents the Company’s best estimate of payments to be made within a year. As of December 31, 2023 PBF Energy recognized a liability of $336.6 million, of which $43.0 million was recorded as a current liability and paid in January 2024 related to the 2022 tax year. These liabilities reflect the estimate of the undiscounted amounts that PBF Energy expects to pay under the agreement, net of the impact of any deferred tax asset valuation allowance recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board, Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes. As future taxable income is recognized, increases in PBF Energy’s Tax Receivable Agreement liability may be necessary in conjunction with the revaluation of deferred tax assets. Refer to “Note 10 - Income Taxes” for more details.

Legal Matters
On November 24, 2022, the Martinez refinery, owned and operated by Martinez Refinery Company LLC (“MRC”), experienced a spent catalyst release that is currently being investigated by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (“BAAQMD”), Contra Costa County (“CCC”), the Department of Justice and EPA, and the California Department of Fish and Game (“DFG”). To date, the BAAQMD has issued 35 NOVs, the CCC has issued two NOVs, and the DFG has made findings relating to the spent catalyst incident. On July 11, 2023 and October 6, 2023, the Martinez refinery experienced unintentional releases of petroleum coke dust and received inquiries or notices of investigation from the BAAQMD, the California Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Occupational Safety and Health (“CalOSHA”), the CCC, and the EPA. The BAAQMD also issued an NOV relating to the July 11, 2023 coke dust incident and an NOV relating to the October 6, 2023 coke dust incident. On December 15, 2023, the Martinez refinery experienced an unexpected flaring incident, and subsequently on December 18, 2023 a brush fire incident, and has received inquiries or notices of investigation from the BAAQMD, CalOSHA, and the CCC. The BAAQMD additionally issued an NOV relating to the December 15, 2023 flaring incident and four NOVs relating to the December 18, 2023 brush fire incident. The DFG, the CCC, and the BAAQMD have referred their findings and/or NOVs to the CCC District Attorney for the spent catalyst incident and various other incidents. On November 16, 2023, the CCC District Attorney and the BAAQMD announced a joint civil enforcement action against MRC that will include enforcement of the BAAQMD’s, the CCC’s, and the DFG’s claims from the spent catalyst incident, as well as additional enforcement claims from various incidents. For the spent catalyst, coke dust, flaring, brush fire, and other incidents, no penalties have been assessed to date by the various agencies, but it is reasonable to expect that penalties may be assessed; however, they are not currently estimable.

Treasury Stock
On December 12, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of PBF Energy's Class A common stock (as amended from time to time, the “Repurchase Program”). As further approved on February 13, 2024, the Repurchase Program currently allows for repurchases of up to $1.75 billion and has a program expiration date of December 2025.

Treasury stock repurchases can be made from time to time through various methods, including open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, certain of which could be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and number of shares repurchased depends on a variety of factors, including price, capital availability, legal requirements, and economic and market conditions. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the Repurchase Program, and repurchases could be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

The majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from the sale of refined products. These revenues are largely based on the current spot (market) prices of the products sold, which represent consideration specifically allocable to the products being sold on a given day, and the Company recognizes those revenues upon delivery and transfer of title to the products to the Company’s customers. The time at which delivery and transfer of title occurs is the point when the Company’s control of the products is transferred to the Company’s customers and when its performance obligation to its customers is fulfilled. Delivery and transfer of title are specifically agreed to between the Company and customers within the contracts. The Company also has contracts which contain fixed pricing, tiered pricing, minimum volume features with makeup periods, or other factors that have not materially been affected by ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The Company’s Logistics segment revenues are generated by charging fees for crude oil and refined products terminaling, storage and pipeline services based on the greater of contractual minimum volume commitments, as applicable, or the delivery of actual volumes based on contractual rates applied to throughput or storage volumes. A majority of the Company’s logistics revenues are generated by intercompany transactions and are eliminated in consolidation.
Deferred Revenue
The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received or are due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable. Deferred revenue was $40.5 million and $64.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Fluctuations in the deferred revenue balance are primarily driven by the timing and extent of cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations.
The Company’s payment terms vary by type and location of customers and the products offered. The period between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant (i.e. generally within two months). For certain products or services and customer types, the Company requires payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer.
10. INCOME TAXES
PBF Energy is required to file federal and applicable state corporate income tax returns and recognizes income taxes on its pre-tax income, which to-date has consisted primarily of its share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income (approximately 99.3% as of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023). PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is a partnership, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to federal income taxes apart from the income tax attributable to the two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the acquisition of Chalmette Refining and PBF Holding’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, PBF Energy Limited, that are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes, with the tax provision calculated based on the effective tax rate for the periods presented.
Inflation Reduction Act
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) was enacted and signed into law in the United States. The IRA is a budget reconciliation package that includes significant law changes relating to tax, climate change, energy, and health care. The tax provisions include, among other items, a corporate alternative minimum tax of 15%, an excise tax of 1% on corporate stock buy-backs, energy-related tax credits and incentives, and additional Internal Revenue Service funding. Based on the Company’s results over the past three fiscal years, the corporate alternative minimum tax would be applicable but is currently not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not expect the other tax provisions of the IRA to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The income tax provision in the PBF Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations consists of the following: 
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

The income tax provision is based on earnings before taxes attributable to PBF Energy and excludes earnings before taxes attributable to noncontrolling interest as such interests are generally not subject to income taxes except as noted above. PBF Energy’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 29.2% and 32.1%, respectively. PBF Energy’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 24.5% and 25.0%, respectively.
PBF Energy’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, including the impact of income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest of $(3.2) million and $(3.1) million, respectively, was 29.0% and 31.8%. PBF Energy’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, including the impact of income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $7.7 million and $21.5 million, respectively, was 24.3% and 24.8%, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, PBF Energy’s effective tax rate did not materially differ from the United States statutory rate, inclusive of state income taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, PBF Energy’s effective tax rate differed from the United States statutory rate, inclusive of state income taxes, as a result of equity-based compensation activity and permanent book/tax differences related to the use of blender’s tax credits.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, PBF Energy’s effective tax rate did not materially differ from the United States statutory rate, inclusive of state income taxes.
The Company has determined there are no material uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2024. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The tables below present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the inputs utilized to determine the fair values as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Company has elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty; however, fair value amounts by hierarchy level are presented on a gross basis in the tables below. The Company may be required to post margin collateral or reclaim cash collateral from derivative counterparties based on contractual terms. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had the obligation to return cash collateral posted against its derivative obligations of $11.5 million and $23.7 million, respectively. Cash collateral related to derivative contracts is recorded net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has no derivative contracts that are subject to master netting arrangements that are reflected gross on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The valuation methods used to measure financial instruments at fair value are as follows:
•Money market funds categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices and included within Cash and cash equivalents.
•The commodity contracts categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in an active market. The commodity contracts categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon future commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.
•Renewable energy credit and emissions obligations primarily represent the Company’s liability for the purchase of (i) biofuel credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.) needed to satisfy its obligation to blend biofuels into the products the Company produces and (ii) emission credits under the AB 32 and similar programs (collectively, the cap-and-trade systems). To the degree the Company is unable to blend biofuels (such as ethanol and biodiesel) at percentages required under the biofuel programs, it must purchase biofuel credits to comply with these programs. Under the cap-and-trade systems, it must purchase emission credits to comply with these systems. The liability for environmental credits is in part based on the Company’s deficit for such credits as of the balance sheet date, if any, after considering any credits acquired, and is equal to the product of the credits deficit and the market price of these credits as of the balance sheet date. To the extent that the Company has a better estimate of the cost at which it settles its obligation, such as agreements to purchase RINs at prices other than the current spot price, the Company considers those costs in valuing the remaining obligation. The environmental credit obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.
•When applicable, commodity contracts categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy consist of commodity price swap contracts that relate to forecasted purchases of crude oil for which quoted forward market prices are not readily available due to market illiquidity. The forward prices used to value these swaps are derived using broker quotes, prices from other third-party sources and other available market based data.
•The contingent consideration obligation at December 31, 2023 is categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and was estimated using discounted cash flow models based on management’s estimate of the future cash flows related to the earn-out periods. Our final earn-out payment of $18.8 million was paid in full during the second quarter of 2024.
Non-qualified pension plan assets are measured at fair value using a market approach based on published net asset values of mutual funds as a practical expedient. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $20.3 million and $18.8 million, respectively, were included within Deferred charges and other assets, net for these non-qualified pension plan assets.
The table below summarizes the changes in fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which primarily includes the prior year change in estimated future earnings related to the earn-out obligation associated with the acquisition of the Martinez refinery and logistics assets:

12. DERIVATIVES
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures to commodity price risk. On July 31, 2023, the Company terminated the third amended and restated inventory intermediation agreement (the “Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement”). Prior to its termination, the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement contained purchase obligations for certain volumes of crude oil, intermediates, and refined products. The purchase obligations related to crude oil, intermediates and refined products under this agreement were derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges in order to hedge the commodity price volatility of certain refinery inventory. The fair value of these purchase obligation derivatives was based on market prices of the underlying crude oil, intermediates, and refined products. The level of activity for these derivatives was based on the level of operating inventories.
The Company also enters into economic hedges primarily consisting of commodity derivative contracts that are not designated as hedges and are used to manage price volatility in certain crude oil and feedstock inventories as well as crude oil, feedstock, and refined product sales or purchases. The objective in entering into economic hedges is consistent with the objectives discussed above for fair value hedges. As of September 30, 2024, there were 40,804,000 barrels of crude oil and 4,449,000 barrels of refined products (23,774,000 and 5,351,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2023), outstanding under short and long term commodity derivative contracts not designated as hedges representing the notional value of the contracts.
The Company also uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risk associated with the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. For such contracts that represent derivatives, the Company elects the normal purchase normal sale exception under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and therefore does not record them at fair value.
The following tables provide information regarding the fair values of derivative instruments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the line items in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in which fair values are reflected.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s operations are organized into two reportable segments, Refining and Logistics. Operations that are not included in the Refining or Logistics segments, including the Company’s share of SBR’s results, are included in Corporate. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and are included in the Eliminations column below.
Refining
The Company’s Refining segment includes the operations of its six refineries, including certain related logistics assets that are not owned by PBFX. The Company’s refineries are located in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Martinez, California. The refineries produce unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants, and other petroleum products in the United States. The Company purchases crude oil, other feedstocks and blending components from various third-party suppliers. The Company sells products throughout the Northeast, Midwest, Gulf Coast and West Coast of the United States, as well as in other regions of the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and is able to ship products to other international destinations.
Logistics
The Company’s Logistics segment is comprised of PBFX, a partnership formed to own or lease, operate, develop, and acquire crude oil and refined products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX’s assets primarily consist of rail and truck terminals and unloading racks, tank farms and pipelines that were acquired from or contributed by PBF LLC and are located at, or nearby, the Company’s refineries. PBFX provides various rail, truck and marine terminaling services, pipeline transportation services and storage services to PBF Holding and/or its subsidiaries and third-party customers through fee-based commercial agreements. PBFX currently does not generate significant third-party revenues and intersegment related-party revenues are eliminated in consolidation. From a PBF Energy perspective, the Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the Logistics segment as a whole without regard to any of PBFX’s individual operating segments.
The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on income from operations. Income from operations includes those revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to management of the respective segment. The Logistics segment’s revenues include intersegment transactions with the Company’s Refining segment at prices the Company believes are substantially equivalent to the prices that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. Activities of the Company’s business that are not included in the two operating segments are included in Corporate. Such activities consist primarily of corporate staff operations and other items that are not specific to the normal operations of the two operating segments. The Company does not allocate non-operating income and expense items, including income taxes, to the individual segments. The Refining segment’s operating subsidiaries and PBFX are primarily pass-through entities with respect to income taxes.
Total assets of each segment consist of property, plant and equipment, inventories, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other assets directly associated with the segment’s operations. Corporate assets consist primarily of the Company’s equity method investment in SBR, non-operating property, plant and equipment and other assets not directly related to the Company’s refinery and logistics operations.

(1)    The diluted earnings per share calculation generally assumes the conversion of all outstanding PBF LLC Series A Units to PBF Energy Class A common stock. The net income (loss) attributable to PBF Energy used in the numerator of the diluted earnings per share calculation is adjusted to reflect the net income (loss), as well as the corresponding income tax expense (benefit) (based on a 26.0% estimated annualized statutory corporate tax rate for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023), attributable to the converted units.
(2)    Represents an adjustment to weighted-average diluted shares outstanding to assume the full exchange of common stock equivalents, including options and warrants for PBF LLC Series A Units and performance share units and options for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock as calculated under the treasury stock method (to the extent the impact of such exchange would not be anti-dilutive). Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share units and options and warrants to purchase 4,693,222 and 4,630,480 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share units and options and warrants to purchase 2,000 and 28,809 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. For periods showing a net loss, all common stock equivalents and unvested restricted stock are considered anti-dilutive.

Overview
We are one of the largest independent petroleum refiners and suppliers of unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants, and other petroleum products in the United States. We sell our products throughout the Northeast, Midwest, Gulf Coast and West Coast of the United States, as well as in other regions of the United States, Canada and Mexico and are able to ship products to other international destinations. We own and operate six domestic oil refineries and related assets and own a 50% interest in the Renewable Diesel Facility through our SBR equity method investment. Our refineries have a combined processing capacity, known as throughput, of approximately 1,000,000 barrels per day (“bpd”), and a weighted-average Nelson Complexity Index of 12.7 based on current operating conditions. The complexity and throughput capacity of our refineries are subject to change dependent upon configuration changes we make to respond to market conditions, as well as a result of investments made to improve our facilities and maintain compliance with environmental and governmental regulations. We operate in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. Our six oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and represent the Refining segment. PBFX operates certain logistical assets such as crude oil and refined products terminals, pipelines, and storage facilities, which represent the Logistics segment.
Our six refineries are located in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Martinez, California. Each refinery is briefly described in the table below:

As of September 30, 2024, PBF Energy owned 115,144,689 PBF LLC Series C Units and our current and former executive officers and directors and certain employees and others held 862,780 PBF LLC Series A Units (we refer to all of the holders of the PBF LLC Series A Units as “the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy”). As a result, the holders of our issued and outstanding shares of our PBF Energy Class A common stock have approximately 99.3% of the voting power in us, and the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy through their holdings of Class B common stock have approximately 0.7% of the voting power in us (99.3% and 0.7% as of December 31, 2023, respectively).
Factors Affecting Comparability Between Periods
Our results have been affected by the following events, the understanding of which will aid in assessing the comparability of our period to period financial performance and financial condition.
Debt and Credit Facilities
PBF Holding Revolving Credit Facility
On August 23, 2023, we entered into an amendment and restatement of our existing asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Revolving Credit Agreement amended and restated the previously existing revolving credit agreement dated as of May 2, 2018 (as amended from time to time, the “Prior Credit Agreement”). Among other things, the Revolving Credit Agreement extended PBF Holding’s asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) through August 2028 and increased the maximum commitment to $3.5 billion from $2.85 billion. The commitment fees on the unused portion, the interest rate on advances and the fees for letters of credit are generally consistent with the Prior Credit Agreement.
Senior Notes
On August 21, 2023, we issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the “2030 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $488.8 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses. We used the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to fully redeem the outstanding 7.25% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”), including accrued and unpaid interest, on September 13, 2023 for approximately $664.5 million.
On February 2, 2023, we exercised our rights under the indenture governing PBFX’s 6.875% senior notes (the “PBFX 2023 Senior Notes”) to redeem all of the outstanding PBFX 2023 Senior Notes at a price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. The aggregate redemption price for the PBFX 2023 Senior Notes approximated $525.0 million, inclusive of unamortized premium and deferred financing costs, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption was funded using cash on hand.
Catalyst Financing Obligations
During 2023, we settled our last remaining precious metal financing arrangement, which represented a reduction of debt of approximately $3.1 million.
38


Inventory Intermediation Agreement
Prior to 2023, PBF Holding and its subsidiaries, Delaware City Refining Company LLC, Paulsboro Refining Company LLC, and Chalmette Refining LLC (“Chalmette Refining”) (collectively, the “PBF Entities”), entered into the third amended and restated inventory intermediation agreement (the “Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement”) with J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“J. Aron”). Pursuant to the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement, J. Aron purchased and held title to certain crude oil, intermediates, and finished products (the “J. Aron Products”) purchased or produced by the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries (and at the election of the PBF Entities, the Chalmette refinery) (the “Refineries”) and delivered into the storage tanks at the Refineries (the “Storage Tanks”). The J. Aron Products were sold back to us as the J. Aron Products were discharged out of the Storage Tanks.
On June 28, 2023, the PBF Entities entered into a second amendment to the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement to amend certain provisions in order to allow for the early termination of the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement effective as of July 31, 2023. In conjunction with this early termination, we made a payment of $268.0 million for the inventory previously held by J. Aron, inclusive of $13.5 million of related costs associated with exiting the agreement.
Equity Method Investment in SBR
On June 27, 2023, we and our partner Eni, completed the closing of the equity method investment transaction and the capitalization of SBR, a jointly held investee designed to own, develop, and operate the Renewable Diesel Facility. We contributed the SBR business, which had a total estimated fair value of $1.69 billion, excluding working capital. Eni contributed $845.6 million of total consideration, which consisted of $431.0 million of cash distributed to us at close and an additional $414.6 million of cash contributed after the commercial start-up of the pre-treatment unit in July 2023. SBR now owns the Renewable Diesel Facility. As stipulated in the agreements with Eni, we managed project execution and will continue to serve as the operator of the facility.
Transactions with SBR
We and our subsidiaries have entered into various agreements with SBR, primarily related to the sale and purchase of environmental credits and hydrocarbon products. Refer to “Note 5 - Related Party Transactions” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for transactions with SBR.
Share Repurchase Program
On December 12, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of PBF Energy's Class A common stock (as amended from time to time, the “Repurchase Program”). As further approved on February 13, 2024, the Repurchase Program currently allows for repurchases of up to $1.75 billion and has a program expiration date of December 2025. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased 2,041,120 and 6,554,269 shares of PBF Energy’s Class A common stock under the Repurchase Program for $75.0 million and $300.1 million, respectively, inclusive of commissions paid, through open market transactions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company purchased 2,320,179 and 9,031,056 shares of PBF Energy’s Class A common stock under the Repurchase Program for $115.0 million and $382.6 million, respectively, inclusive of commissions paid, through open market transactions. Please see “Note 7 - Equity” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.
39


Tax Receivable Agreement
As of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, PBF Energy recognized a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement of $291.8 million and $336.6 million, respectively, reflecting the estimate of the undiscounted amounts that we expected to pay under the agreement. As of September 30, 2024, $121.8 million of the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation was recorded as a current liability and represents our best estimate of payments to be made within a year. As of December 31, 2023, $43.0 million of the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation was recorded as a current liability and represented the amount paid in January 2024 related to the 2022 tax year. As future taxable income is recognized, increases in our Tax Receivable Agreement liability may be necessary in conjunction with the revaluation of deferred tax assets.

Results of Operations
The tables below reflect our consolidated financial and operating highlights for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in millions, except per share data). We operate in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. Our oil refineries, excluding the assets operated by PBFX, are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and represent the Refining segment. PBFX is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Energy that operates certain logistics assets such as crude oil and refined products terminals, pipelines, and storage facilities. PBFX’s operations represent the Logistics segment. We do not separately discuss our results by individual segments as our Logistics segment did not have any significant third-party revenues and a significant portion of its operating results are eliminated in consolidation.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023
Overview— PBF Energy net loss was $289.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net income of $794.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net loss attributable to PBF Energy stockholders was $285.9 million, or $(2.49) per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, ($(2.50) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss, or $(1.50) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) compared to net income attributable to PBF Energy of $786.4 million, or $6.11 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 ($6.11 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income, or $6.61 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures). The net income (loss) attributable to PBF Energy stockholders represents PBF Energy’s equity interest in PBF LLC’s pre-tax income (loss), less applicable income tax (benefit) expense. PBF Energy’s weighted-average equity interest in PBF LLC was 99.3% for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
43


Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were negatively impacted by special items consisting of a non-cash, pre-tax lower of cost or market (“LCM”) inventory adjustment of approximately $154.5 million, or $114.3 million net of tax and our share of the adjustment to the SBR LCM inventory reserve of $0.3 million, or $0.2 million net of tax. Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were negatively impacted by special items consisting of a change in fair value of our earn-out obligation associated with the acquisition of the Martinez refinery and logistics assets (the “Martinez Contingent Consideration”) of $65.3 million, or $48.3 million net of tax, a loss of $5.7 million or $4.2 million net of tax, related to the extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of our 2025 Senior Notes and the amendment and restatement of the Revolving Credit Facility, exit costs associated with the early termination of the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement of $13.5 million or $10.0 million net of tax, and a loss associated with the formation of the SBR equity method investment of $3.2 million, or $2.4 million net of tax.
Excluding the impact of these special items, when comparing our results to the three months ended September 30, 2023, we experienced an overall decrease in our refining margins due to unfavorable movements in crack spreads and certain crude oil differentials and lower throughput volumes and barrels sold. These decreasing metrics have negatively impacted our revenues, gross margin, and operating income in comparison to the same period in 2023.
Revenues— Revenues totaled $8.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $10.7 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately $2.3 billion, or 21.5%. Revenues per barrel were $89.20 and $111.69 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of 20.1% directly related to lower hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast, and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 307,200 bpd, 160,000 bpd, 164,600 bpd and 303,800 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast, and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 318,600 bpd, 152,600 bpd, 184,300 bpd and 284,200 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast, and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 342,200 bpd, 163,000 bpd, 160,100 bpd and 356,200 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast, and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 346,700 bpd, 160,000 bpd, 193,700 bpd and 344,100 bpd, respectively.
Overall average throughput rates at our refineries remained consistent in the three months ended September 30, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023. We plan to continue operating our refineries based on demand and current market conditions. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside our refineries.
Consolidated gross margin— Consolidated gross margin totaled $(288.2) million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1,227.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately $1,516.0 million. Gross refining margin totaled $429.6 million, or $5.00 per barrel of throughput for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1,923.1 million, or $22.24 per barrel of throughput for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately $1,493.5 million. Gross refining margin excluding special items totaled $584.1 million, or $6.79 per barrel of throughput for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1,923.1 million or $22.24 per barrel of throughput for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $1,339.0 million.
Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were negatively impacted by a non-cash LCM adjustment of approximately $154.5 million resulting from the decrease in crude oil and refined product prices from the second quarter of 2024 to the end of the third quarter of 2024. Gross refining margin excluding special items decreased due to unfavorable movements in crack spreads and certain crude oil differentials and barrels sold at the majority of our refineries. Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin were not impacted by special items during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
44


Additionally, our results continue to be impacted by significant costs to comply with the RFS. Total RFS compliance costs were $128.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $167.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Average industry margins were unfavorable during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to decreased refining margins as a result of unfavorable supply and demand dynamics that impacted crack spreads.
Favorable movements in benchmark crude differentials typically result in lower crude costs and positively impact our earnings while reductions in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in higher crude costs and negatively impact our earnings.
On the East Coast, the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $16.22 per barrel, or 54.3% lower, in the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $35.49 per barrel in the same period in 2023. Our margins were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate on the East Coast by strengthened WTI/Bakken differential, which increased by $2.85 per barrel, partially offset by a weakened Dated Brent/Maya differential, which decreased by $1.50 per barrel in comparison to the same period in 2023. The WTI/WCS differential decreased to $15.31 per barrel in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $17.13 in the same period in 2023, which unfavorably impacted our cost of heavy Canadian crude.
Across the Mid-Continent, the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $17.47 per barrel, or 33.1% lower, in the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $26.12 per barrel in the same period in 2023. Our margins were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate in the Mid-Continent by strengthened WTI/Bakken and WTI/Syncrude differentials, which increased by $2.85 and $1.99 per barrel, respectively, in comparison to the same period in 2023.
On the Gulf Coast, the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was $16.02 per barrel, or 55.7% lower, in the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $36.19 per barrel in the same period in 2023. Margins on the Gulf Coast were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a strengthened WTI/LLS differential, which averaged a premium of $2.10 per barrel for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to a premium of $2.38 per barrel in the same period of 2023.
On the West Coast the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $19.27 per barrel, or 61.6% lower, in the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $50.22 per barrel in the same period in 2023. Additionally, the ANS (West Coast) 3-2-1 industry crack spread was $22.94 per barrel, or 53.1% lower, in the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $48.88 per barrel in the same period in 2023. Our margins on the West Coast were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate by strengthened WTI/ANS differential, which averaged a premium of $3.67 per barrel for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to a premium of $5.41 per barrel in the same period of 2023.
Operating expenses— Operating expenses totaled $649.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $645.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $4.4 million, or 0.7%. Of the total $649.7 million of operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, $621.4 million, or $7.22 per barrel of throughput, related to expenses incurred by the Refining segment, while the remaining $28.3 million related to expenses incurred by the Logistics segment ($615.8 million, or $7.12 per barrel, and $29.5 million of operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 related to the Refining and Logistics segments, respectively). The increase in operating expenses when compared to the same period in 2023 was mainly attributable to higher maintenance costs and outside service costs across our refineries, partially offset by lower energy costs due to an overall decrease in natural gas prices.
45


General and administrative expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $65.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $92.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately $27.5 million or 29.6%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 in comparison to the three months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily related to lower employee-related expenses, including incentive compensation. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of personnel, facilities, and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries and related logistics assets.
Loss on formation of SBR equity method investment— There was a de minimis loss of $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, associated with a reduction of our gain on formation of the SBR equity method investment. There was no such gain or loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Equity loss (income) in investee— There was a loss of $29.4 million and income of $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, related to our equity share of our investment in SBR.
Loss on sale of assets— There was a loss of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, related primarily to the sale of non-operating refinery assets. There was no such gain or loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Depreciation and amortization expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $161.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 (including $158.5 million recorded within Cost of sales) compared to $143.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 (including $140.1 million recorded within Cost of sales), an increase of $17.9 million. The increase was a result of a general increase in our fixed asset base due to capital projects and turnarounds completed since the third quarter of 2023.
Change in fair value of contingent consideration— Change in fair value of contingent consideration represented a loss of $65.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 related to changes in the estimated fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration. Our final earn-out payment of $18.8 million was paid in full during the second quarter of 2024.
Change in fair value of catalyst obligations— Change in fair value of catalyst obligations represented a loss of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This loss related to the change in fair value of the precious metals underlying the sale and leaseback of our refineries’ precious metal catalysts, which we were obligated to repurchase at fair market value upon lease termination. During September 2023, we settled our remaining outstanding precious metal financing arrangement.
Loss on extinguishment of debt— There was a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $5.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023, related to the redemption of the 2025 Senior Notes and the amendment and restatement of the Revolving Credit Agreement. There was no such loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Interest expense, net— Interest expense, net totaled $21.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $22.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately $1.3 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, interest expense includes interest on long-term debt, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils and the amortization of deferred financing costs.

Income tax (benefit) expense— PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is a partnership, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income tax. However, two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining and our Canadian subsidiary, PBF Energy Limited (“PBF Ltd.”) are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes and may incur income taxes with respect to their earnings, as applicable. The members of PBF LLC are required to include their proportionate share of PBF LLC’s taxable income or loss on their respective tax returns. PBF LLC generally makes distributions to its members, per the terms of PBF LLC’s amended and restated limited liability company agreement, related to such taxes, on a pro-rata basis. PBF Energy recognizes an income tax expense or benefit in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on PBF Energy’s allocable share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income or loss, which was approximately 99.3%, on a weighted-average basis for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. PBF Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in PBF LLC or PBFX (although, as described above, PBF LLC must make tax distributions to all its members on a pro-rata basis). PBF Energy’s effective tax rate, excluding the impact of noncontrolling interest, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was 29.2% and 24.5%, respectively.
Noncontrolling interest— PBF Energy is the sole managing member of, and has a controlling interest in, PBF LLC. As the sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the business and affairs of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. With respect to the consolidation of PBF LLC, we record a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF LLC held by members other than PBF Energy, and with respect to the consolidation of PBF Holding, we record a 20% noncontrolling interest for the ownership interests in two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining held by a third party. The total noncontrolling interest on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations represents the portion of the Company’s earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests held by members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy and by the third-party stockholders of certain of Chalmette Refining’s subsidiaries. The total noncontrolling interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the portion of the Company’s net assets attributable to the economic interests held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy and by the third-party stockholders of the two Chalmette Refining subsidiaries. PBF Energy’s weighted-average equity noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in PBF LLC for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was approximately 0.7%. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets attributable to the noncontrolling interest is not equal to the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage due to the effect of income taxes and related agreements that pertain solely to PBF Energy.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Overview— PBF Energy net loss was $247.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net income of $2,210.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net loss attributable to PBF Energy stockholders was $244.5 million, or $(2.09) per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 ($(2.11) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss, or $(1.12) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net loss excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures), compared to net income attributable to PBF Energy of $2,188.9 million, or $16.76 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 ($16.76 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income, or $11.61 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis based on adjusted fully-converted net income excluding special items, as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures). The net income (loss) attributable to PBF Energy stockholders represents PBF Energy’s equity interest in PBF LLC’s pre-tax income (loss), less applicable income tax (benefit) expense. PBF Energy’s weighted-average equity interest in PBF LLC was 99.3% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
47


Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were negatively impacted by special items consisting of a non-cash, pre-tax LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $154.5 million, or $114.3 million net of tax, and a decrease to our gain on the formation of the SBR equity method investment of $8.7 million, or $6.4 million net of tax, partially offset by our share of the adjustment to the SBR LCM inventory reserve of $4.2 million, or $3.1 million net of tax and a change in fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration of $3.3 million, or $2.4 million net of tax. Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were positively impacted by special items consisting of a gain on the formation of the SBR equity method investment of $965.7 million, or $714.6 million net of tax and a gain on the sale of a parcel of land at our Torrance refinery of $1.7 million, or $1.3 million net of tax, partially offset by a change in fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration of $32.4 million, or $24.0 million net of tax, a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of our 2025 Senior Notes and the amendment and restatement of the Revolving Credit Facility of $5.7 million or $4.2 million net of tax, and exit costs associated with the early termination of the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement of $13.5 million, or $10.0 million, net of tax.
Excluding the impact of these special items, when comparing our results to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we experienced an overall decrease in our refining margins due to unfavorable movements in crack spreads and crude oil differentials and lower barrels sold at the majority of our refineries. In addition, the planned and unplanned maintenance experienced at our West Coast refineries during the fourth quarter of 2023 extended into the first half of 2024. These decreasing metrics combined with the timing of our maintenance activities have negatively impacted our revenues, gross margin, and operating income in comparison to the same period in 2023. During the same period in 2023, despite heavy turnaround activity at our refineries, the stronger cracks resulted in overall higher margins.
Revenues— Revenues totaled $25.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $29.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately $3.4 billion, or 11.6%. Revenues per barrel were $93.20 and $103.13 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of 9.6% directly related to lower hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast, and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 313,200 bpd, 137,400 bpd, 166,900 bpd and 300,700 bpd, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast, and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 316,300 bpd, 135,000 bpd, 174,300 bpd and 283,600 bpd, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast, and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 354,000 bpd, 145,500 bpd, 160,500 bpd and 348,900 bpd, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast, and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 358,900 bpd, 146,400 bpd, 183,500 bpd and 347,900 bpd, respectively.
Overall average throughput rates at our refineries were higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to decreased maintenance activity when compared to the same period in 2023. We plan to continue operating our refineries based on demand and current market conditions. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside our refineries.
Consolidated gross margin— Consolidated gross margin totaled $(63.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2,314.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately $2,378.3 million. Gross refining margin totaled $2,069.0 million, or $8.23 per barrel of throughput for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $4,489.1 million, or $18.09 per barrel of throughput for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately $2,420.1 million. Gross refining margin excluding special items totaled $2,223.5 million, or $8.84 per barrel of throughput for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $4,489.1 million or $18.09 per barrel of throughput for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $2,265.6 million.
48


Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were negatively impacted by a non-cash LCM adjustment of approximately $154.5 million resulting from the decrease in crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended 2023 to the end of the third quarter of 2024. Gross refining margin excluding special items decreased due to unfavorable movements in crack spreads and crude oil differentials and lower barrels sold at the majority of our refineries, coupled with the timing of our maintenance activity. Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin were not impacted by special items during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Additionally, our results continue to be impacted by significant costs to comply with the RFS. Total RFS compliance costs were $374.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $637.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Average industry margins were unfavorable during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to decreased refining margins as a result of unfavorable supply and demand dynamics that impacted crack spreads.
Favorable movements in benchmark crude differentials typically result in lower crude costs and positively impact our earnings while reductions in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in higher crude costs and negatively impact our earnings.
On the East Coast, the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $19.56 per barrel, or 38.7% lower, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $31.89 per barrel in the same period in 2023. Our margins were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate on the East Coast by strengthened WTI/Bakken differential which increased by $3.67 per barrel, partially offset by a weakened Dated Brent/Maya differential, which decreased by $1.64 per barrel, in comparison to the same period in 2023. The WTI/WCS differential decreased to $15.46 per barrel in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $16.66 in the same period in 2023, which unfavorably impacted our cost of heavy Canadian crude.
Across the Mid-Continent, the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $18.04 per barrel, or 34.8% lower, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $27.67 per barrel in the same period in 2023. Our margins were positively impacted from our refinery specific slate in the Mid-Continent by strengthened WTI/Bakken and WTI/Syncrude differentials, which increased by $3.67 and $3.41 per barrel, respectively, in comparison to the same period in 2023.
On the Gulf Coast, the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was $19.60 per barrel, or 39.2% lower, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $32.24 per barrel in the same period in 2023. Margins on the Gulf Coast were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a weakened WTI/LLS differential, which averaged a premium of $2.55 per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to a premium of $2.46 per barrel in the same period of 2023.
On the West Coast, the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $25.19 per barrel, or 38.3% lower, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $40.80 per barrel in the same period in 2023. Additionally, the ANS (West Coast) 3-2-1 industry crack spread was $26.92 per barrel, or 33.6% lower, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $40.53 per barrel in the same period in 2023. Our margins on the West Coast were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a weakened WTI/ANS differential, which averaged a premium of $4.53 per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to a premium of $4.38 per barrel in the same period of 2023.

Operating expenses— Operating expenses totaled $1,950.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $2,023.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately $73.3 million, or 3.6%. Of the total $1,950.4 million in operating expenses, $1,858.0 million or $7.39 per barrel of throughput, related to expenses incurred by the Refining segment, while the remaining $92.4 million related to expenses incurred by the Logistics segment ($1,936.2 million or $7.80 per barrel of throughput, and $87.5 million of operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to the Refining and Logistics segments, respectively). The decrease in operating expenses in comparison to the same period in 2023 was mainly attributable to lower maintenance costs and lower energy costs due to a decrease in natural gas prices, partially offset by higher outside service costs.
General and administrative expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $193.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $257.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately $63.5 million or 24.7%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses in comparison to the same period in 2023 was due to lower employee-related expenses, including incentive compensation. General and administrative expenses are comprised of personnel, facilities, and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries and related logistics assets.
Loss (gain) on formation of SBR equity method investment— There was a loss of $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, associated with a reduction of our gain on formation of the SBR equity method investment. There was a gain of $965.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, resulting from the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the assets associated with the contributed SBR business.
Equity loss (income) in investee— There was a loss of $42.6 million and income of $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, related to our equity share of our investment in SBR.
Loss (gain) on sale of assets— There was a net loss of $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 related primarily to the sale of non-operating refinery assets. There was a net gain of $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related primarily to the sale of a parcel of land at our Torrance refinery.
Depreciation and amortization expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $464.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (including $454.7 million recorded within Cost of sales) compared to $432.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (including $424.2 million recorded within Cost of sales), an increase of approximately $32.3 million. The increase was a result of a general increase in our fixed asset base due to capital projects and turnarounds completed since the third quarter of 2023.
Change in fair value of contingent consideration, net— Change in fair value of contingent consideration represented a gain of $3.3 million and a loss of $32.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. These gains and losses were related to changes in the estimated fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration. Our final earn-out payment of $18.8 million was paid in full during the second quarter of 2024.
Change in fair value of catalyst obligations— Change in fair value of catalyst obligations represented a gain of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This gain related to the change in fair value of the precious metals underlying the sale and leaseback of our refineries’ precious metal catalysts, which we were obligated to repurchase at fair market value upon lease termination. During September 2023, we settled our remaining outstanding precious metal financing arrangement.
Loss on extinguishment of debt— There was a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $5.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, related to the redemption of the 2025 Senior Notes and the amendment and restatement of the Revolving Credit Agreement. There was no such loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
50


Interest expense, net— Interest expense, net totaled $49.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $55.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately $6.0 million. The net decrease is mainly attributable to the redemption of the PBFX 2023 Senior Notes during the first quarter of 2023, the redemption of the 2025 Senior Notes in the third quarter of 2023, and the issuance of our 2030 Senior Notes during the third quarter of 2023 at a reduced principal amount. Additionally, the early termination of the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement in 2023 further reduced our interest expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, interest expense includes interest on long-term debt, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils and the amortization of deferred financing costs.
Income tax (benefit) expense— PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is a partnership, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income tax. However, two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining and our Canadian subsidiary, PBF Ltd., are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes and may incur income taxes with respect to their earnings, as applicable. The members of PBF LLC are required to include their proportionate share of PBF LLC’s taxable income or loss on their respective tax returns. PBF LLC generally makes distributions to its members, per the terms of PBF LLC’s amended and restated limited liability company agreement, related to such taxes, on a pro-rata basis. PBF Energy recognizes an income tax expense or benefit in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on PBF Energy’s allocable share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income or loss, which was approximately 99.3% on a weighted-average basis for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. PBF Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in PBF LLC (although, as described above, PBF LLC must make tax distributions to all its members on a pro-rata basis). PBF Energy’s effective tax rate, excluding the impact of noncontrolling interest, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was 32.1% and 25.0%, respectively.
Noncontrolling interest— PBF Energy is the sole managing member of, and has a controlling interest in, PBF LLC. As the sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the business and affairs of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. With respect to the consolidation of PBF LLC, we record a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF LLC held by members other than PBF Energy, and with respect to the consolidation of PBF Holding, we record a 20% noncontrolling interest for the ownership interests in two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining held by a third party. The total noncontrolling interest on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations represents the portion of the Company’s earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests held by members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy and by the third-party stockholders of certain of Chalmette Refining’s subsidiaries. The total noncontrolling interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the portion of the Company’s net assets attributable to the economic interests held by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy and by the third-party stockholders of the two Chalmette Refining subsidiaries. PBF Energy’s weighted-average equity noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in PBF LLC for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was approximately 0.7%. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets attributable to the noncontrolling interest is not equal to the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage due to the effect of income taxes and related agreements that pertain solely to PBF Energy.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP (“Non-GAAP”). These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.
Special Items
The Non-GAAP measures presented include Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) excluding special items, gross refining margin excluding special items, EBITDA excluding special items and net debt to capitalization ratio excluding special items. Special items for the periods presented relate to LCM inventory adjustments, our share of the SBR LCM inventory adjustment, net changes in fair value of contingent consideration, loss (gain) on the formation of the SBR equity method investment, loss on extinguishment of debt and termination of Inventory Intermediation Agreement, and gain on land sales. See “Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more details on all special items disclosed. Although we believe that Non-GAAP financial measures, excluding the impact of special items, provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the results and performance of our business and allow for helpful period-over-period comparisons, such Non-GAAP measures should only be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) Excluding Special Items
PBF Energy utilizes results presented on an Adjusted Fully-Converted basis that reflect an assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. In addition, we present results on an Adjusted Fully-Converted basis excluding special items as described above. We believe that these Adjusted Fully-Converted measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare PBF Energy results across different periods and to facilitate an understanding of our operating results.
Neither Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) nor Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) excluding special items should be considered an alternative to net income (loss) presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) excluding special items presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently. The differences between Adjusted Fully-Converted and GAAP results are as follows:
1.    Assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. As a result of the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units, the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. Management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units.
2.    Income Taxes. Prior to PBF Energy’s initial public offering (“IPO”), PBF Energy was organized as a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, and even after PBF Energy’s IPO, not all of its earnings are subject to corporate-level income taxes. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Fully-Converted tax provisions and earnings to assume that PBF Energy had adopted its post-IPO corporate tax structure for all periods presented and is taxed as a C-corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates. These assumptions are consistent with the assumption in clause 1 above that all PBF LLC Series A Units are exchanged for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock, as the assumed exchange would change the amount of PBF Energy’s earnings that are subject to corporate income tax.

Gross Refining Margin and Gross Refining Margin Excluding Special Items
Gross refining margin is defined as consolidated gross margin excluding refining depreciation, refining operating expenses, and gross margin of the Logistics segment. We believe both gross refining margin and gross refining margin excluding special items are important measures of operating performance and provide useful information to investors because they are helpful metric comparisons to the industry refining margin benchmarks, as the refining margin benchmarks do not include a charge for refining operating expenses and depreciation. In order to assess our operating performance, we compare our gross refining margin (revenues less cost of products and other) to industry refining margin benchmarks and crude oil prices as defined in the table below.
Neither gross refining margin nor gross refining margin excluding special items should be considered an alternative to consolidated gross margin, income from operations, net cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Gross refining margin and gross refining margin excluding special items presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently.
The following table presents our GAAP calculation of gross margin and a reconciliation of gross refining margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, consolidated gross margin, on a historical basis, as applicable, for each of the periods indicated (in millions, except per barrel amounts):

EBITDA, EBITDA Excluding Special Items and Adjusted EBITDA
Our management uses earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to readily view operating trends, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations, and in communications with our Board of Directors, creditors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance. Our outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money and other contractual obligations also include similar measures as a basis for certain covenants under those agreements which may differ from the Adjusted EBITDA definition described below.
EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and our computation of EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in our industry. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA contains some, but not all, adjustments that are taken into account in the calculation of the components of various covenants in the agreements governing our senior notes and other credit facilities. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to income from operations or net income as measures of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA are not presented as, and should not be considered, an alternative to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before adjustments for items such as stock-based compensation expense, change in the fair value of catalyst obligations, LCM inventory adjustment, our share of the SBR LCM inventory adjustment, net change in the fair value of contingent consideration, loss (gain) on the formation of the SBR equity method investment, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on land sales, and certain other non-cash items. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA also have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include that EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA:
•do not reflect depreciation expense or our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•do not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
•do not reflect realized and unrealized gains and losses from certain hedging activities, which may have a substantial impact on our cash flow;
•do not reflect certain other non-cash income and expenses; and
•exclude income taxes that may represent a reduction in available cash.

Net Debt to Capitalization Ratio and Net Debt to Capitalization Ratio Excluding Special Items
The total debt to capitalization ratio is calculated by dividing total debt by the sum of total debt and total equity. This ratio is a measurement that management believes is useful to investors in analyzing our leverage. Net debt and the net debt to capitalization ratio are Non-GAAP measures. Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from total debt. Total capitalization is calculated by adding total debt and total equity. We believe these measurements are also useful to investors since we have the ability to and may decide to use a portion of our cash and cash equivalents to retire or pay down our debt. Additionally, we have also presented the total debt to capitalization and net debt to capitalization ratios excluding the cumulative effects of special items on equity.

Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following notes are applicable to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures above: 
(1)    Represents the elimination of the noncontrolling interest associated with the ownership by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, as if such members had fully exchanged their PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock.
(2)    Represents an adjustment to reflect PBF Energy’s estimated annualized statutory corporate tax rate of approximately 26.0% for both the 2024 and 2023 periods, applied to net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest for all periods presented. The adjustment assumes the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in (1) above.
(3)    Special items:    
LCM inventory adjustment - LCM is a GAAP requirement related to inventory valuation that mandates inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or market. Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory valuation methodology, in which the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost of sales and inventories are valued at base layer acquisition costs. Market price is determined based on an assessment of the current estimated replacement cost and net realizable selling price of the inventory. In periods where the market price of our inventory declines substantially, cost values of inventory may exceed market values. In such instances, we record an adjustment to write down the value of inventory to market value in accordance with GAAP. In subsequent periods, the value of inventory is reassessed and an LCM inventory adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between the prior period and the current period. The net impact of these LCM inventory adjustments is included in the Refining segment’s income from operations, but are excluded from the operating results presented, as applicable, in order to make such information comparable between periods.
PBF Energy LCM inventory adjustment - During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an adjustment to value our inventories to the LCM which decreased income from operations and net income by $154.5 million and $114.3 million, respectively, reflecting an increase in the LCM inventory reserve of $154.5 million. There were no such adjustments in any other periods presented.
SBR LCM inventory adjustment - During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, SBR recorded adjustments to value its inventory to the LCM which decreased its income from operations by $0.6 million and increased its income from operations by $8.5 million, respectively. Our Equity loss in investee includes our 50% share of these adjustments. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, these LCM adjustments decreased our income from operations by $0.3 million and increased our income from operations by $4.2 million, respectively ($0.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively, net of tax). There were no such adjustments in any other periods presented.
Change in fair value of contingent consideration, net - During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a net change in fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration which increased income from operations by $3.3 million, or $2.4 million, net of tax. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a change in fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration, which decreased income from operations by $65.3 million and $32.4 million, respectively ($48.3 million and $24.0 million, respectively, net of tax). There was no such change in the three months ended September 30, 2024.
59


Loss (gain) on formation of SBR equity method investment - During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a reduction of our gain associated with the formation of the SBR equity method investment, which decreased income from operations and net income by $8.7 million and $6.4 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a reduction of our gain associated with the formation of the SBR equity method investment, which decreased income from operations and net income by $3.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a net gain resulting from the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the assets associated with the contributed SBR business, which increased income from operations and net income by $965.7 million and $714.6 million, respectively. There was no such (gain) loss during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Loss on extinguishment of debt and termination of Inventory Intermediation Agreement - During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of our 2025 Senior Notes and the amendment and restatement of the Revolving Credit Facility, which decreased income before income taxes and net income by $5.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively. There were no such losses in any other periods presented.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, in conjunction with the early termination of the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement, we incurred certain one-time exit costs, which decreased income before income taxes and net income by $13.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively. These costs were included within Interest expense, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no such costs in any other periods presented.
Gain on land sales - During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a gain on the sale of a separate parcel of real property acquired as part of the Torrance refinery, but not part of the refinery itself, which increased income from operations and net income by $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. There were no such gains in any other periods presented.
Recomputed income tax on special items - The income tax impact on these special items is calculated using the tax rates shown in (2) above.
(4)    Represents an adjustment to weighted-average diluted shares outstanding to assume the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in (1) above.
(5)    Represents weighted-average diluted shares outstanding assuming the conversion of all common stock equivalents, including options and warrants for PBF LLC Series A Units and performance share units and options for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock as calculated under the treasury stock method (to the extent the impact of such exchange would not be anti-dilutive) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share units and options and warrants to purchase 4,693,222 and 4,630,480 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share units and options and warrants to purchase 2,000 and 28,809 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. For periods showing a net loss, all common stock equivalents and unvested restricted stock are considered anti-dilutive.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability under our credit facility, as described below. We believe that our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our and our subsidiaries’ capital expenditures, working capital needs, dividend payments, debt service requirements, share repurchases under our share repurchase program, as well as PBF Energy’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, for the next twelve months. However, our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations depends, in part, on petroleum oil market pricing and general economic, political, and other factors beyond our control. As of September 30, 2024, we are in compliance with all covenants, including financial covenants, in all our debt agreements.

Cash Flow Analysis
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $373.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1,032.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 include depreciation and amortization of $476.1 million, a net non-cash charge of $154.5 million relating to an LCM inventory adjustment, loss from equity method investment of $42.6 million, pension and other post-retirement benefits costs of $38.9 million, stock-based compensation of $30.1 million, a loss on formation of the SBR equity method investment of $8.7 million, and a loss on sale of assets of $0.7 million, partially offset by our net loss of $247.6 million, deferred income taxes of $116.6 million, and net change in the fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration of $3.3 million. In addition, net changes in operating assets and liabilities reflected uses of cash of $11.0 million primarily driven by the timing of payments for accrued expenses. Our operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included our net income of $2,210.4 million, depreciation and amortization of $448.3 million, deferred income taxes of $416.3 million, pension and other post-retirement benefits costs of $35.9 million, net change in fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration of $32.4 million, stock-based compensation of $27.7 million, net non-cash charges related to changes in fair value of our inventory repurchase obligations of $25.1 million, and loss on extinguishment of debt primarily related to the redemption of our 2025 Senior Notes and the amendment and restatement of the Revolving Credit Facility of $5.7 million, partially offset by a gain on formation of the SBR equity method investment of $965.7 million, income from equity method investment of $14.6 million, gain on sale of assets of $1.3 million, and a change in the fair value of our catalyst obligations of $1.1 million. In addition, net changes in operating assets and liabilities reflected uses of cash of $1,186.5 million, driven by the timing of inventory purchases, payments for accrued expenses and collections of accounts receivable. The change in accrued expenses was due primarily to a decrease in renewable energy credit and emissions obligations, as a result of a decrease in our unfunded RINs obligation.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $805.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $105.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The net cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was comprised of cash outflows of expenditures for refinery turnarounds of $447.7 million, capital expenditures totaling $294.9 million, contributions to our equity method investee of $35.0 million, and expenditures for other assets of $28.3 million, partially offset by a return of capital from our equity method investee of $0.9 million. The net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was comprised of cash outflows of capital expenditures totaling $577.9 million, expenditures for refinery turnarounds of $322.9 million, expenditures for other assets of $39.5 million, and contributions to our equity method investee of $15.4 million, partially offset by return of capital from our equity method investee of $845.5 million and proceeds from the sale of assets of $4.4 million.
62


Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $374.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $1,237.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities consisted of share repurchases of PBF Energy’s Class A Common stock of $300.1 million, dividends and distributions of $89.0 million, payments on finance leases of $9.1 million, and deferred financing costs and other of $0.1 million, partially offset by proceeds from insurance premium financing of $17.7 million and transactions made in connection with stock-based compensation plans of $5.7 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities consisted of the redemption of our 2025 Senior Notes of $666.2 million, redemption of the PBFX 2023 Senior Notes of $525.0 million, share repurchases of PBF Energy’s Class A Common stock of $382.6 million, dividends and distributions of $80.5 million, payments related to the Martinez Contingent Consideration of $80.1 million, deferred financing costs and other of $35.8 million, payments on finance leases of $11.1 million, and settlement of the final precious metal catalyst obligation of $3.1 million, partially offset by cash proceeds of $496.6 million from the issuance of the 2030 Senior Notes, net of discount, transactions made in connection with stock-based compensation plans of $41.2 million, and proceeds from insurance premium financing of $8.7 million.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2024, our operational liquidity was more than $3.4 billion (more than $4.6 billion as of December 31, 2023), which consists of $927.0 million of cash, and approximately $2.5 billion of borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, which includes our cash on hand.
As of September 30, 2024, outstanding letters of credit totaled approximately $62.5 million.
We may incur additional indebtedness in the future, including secured indebtedness, subject to the satisfaction of any debt incurrence and, if applicable, lien incurrence limitation covenants in our existing financing agreements.
Share Repurchases
Our Repurchase Program currently allows for repurchases up to $1.75 billion and has a program expiration date of December 2025. To date, we have purchased approximately 23,113,897 shares of PBF Energy's Class A common stock under the Repurchase Program for $989.0 million, inclusive of commissions paid, through open market transactions. We may make additional share repurchases in the future, but we are not obligated to purchase any shares under the Repurchase Program, and repurchases could be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
Working Capital
Our working capital at September 30, 2024 was $1,283.8 million, consisting of $5,109.3 million in total current assets and $3,825.5 million in total current liabilities. Our working capital at December 31, 2023 was $2,379.3 million, consisting of $6,596.6 million in total current assets and $4,217.3 million in total current liabilities.
Capital Spending
Capital spending was $770.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and was primarily comprised of annual maintenance and turnaround costs at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, and West Coast refineries. Capital spending also included costs associated with safety related enhancements and facility improvements at our refineries and logistics assets. We currently expect to spend an aggregate of approximately $850.0 million during full-year 2024 for facility improvements and refinery maintenance and turnarounds, as well as expenditures to meet environmental, regulatory and safety requirements.
63


Crude and Feedstock Supply Agreements
We currently purchase all of our crude and feedstock needs from various suppliers, primarily through short-term and spot market agreements. We also have a crude supply agreement with Saudi Aramco, the term of which is currently year to year, for up to approximately 100,000 bpd that is processed at the Paulsboro refinery and crude supply agreements with Shell Trading (US) Company (primarily serving our Martinez refinery) for up to approximately 65,000 bpd, through 2026.
Tax Receivable Agreement Obligation
PBF Energy has recognized, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement of $291.8 million and $336.6 million, respectively, reflecting the estimated undiscounted amounts that PBF Energy expects to pay under the agreement, net of any deferred tax asset valuation allowance recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes. As of September 30, 2024, $121.8 million of the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation is recorded as a current liability and represents PBF Energy’s best estimate of payments to be made within a year. As of December 31, 2023, $43.0 million of the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation was recorded as a current liability and represented the amount paid in January 2024 related to the 2022 tax year. As future taxable income is recorded, increases in PBF Energy’s Tax Receivable Agreement liability may be necessary in conjunction with the revaluation of deferred tax assets. If PBF Energy does not have taxable income, PBF Energy generally is not required (absent a change of control or circumstances requiring an early termination payment) to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for that taxable year because no benefit will have been actually realized. However, any tax benefits that do not result in realized benefits in a given tax year will likely generate tax attributes that may be utilized to generate benefits in previous or future tax years. The utilization of such tax attributes will result in payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
These payment obligations, if any, are obligations of PBF Energy and not of PBF LLC or any of its subsidiaries. However, because PBF Energy is a holding company with no operations of its own, PBF Energy’s ability to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement is dependent upon a number of factors, including its subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions for the benefit of PBF LLC’s members, including PBF Energy, its ability, if necessary, to finance its obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement and existing indebtedness which may limit PBF Energy’s subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions.
The foregoing are merely estimates - the actual payments could differ materially. It is possible that future transactions or events could increase or decrease the actual tax benefits realized and the corresponding Tax Receivable Agreement payments.
Dividends and Distributions
PBF Energy
On October 31, 2024, PBF Energy announced a dividend of $0.275 per share on outstanding PBF Energy Class A common stock. The dividend is payable on November 27, 2024 to PBF Energy Class A common stockholders of record at the close of business on November 13, 2024. PBF LLC intends to make pro-rata distributions of approximately $32.0 million, or $0.275 per unit to its members, including PBF Energy, which in turn intends to use this distribution to fund the dividend payments to the shareholders of PBF Energy.
PBF Energy currently intends to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends on its Class A common stock. However, the declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock will be at the sole discretion of PBF Energy’s Board of Directors, and we are not obligated under any applicable laws, our governing documents or any contractual agreements with our existing owners or otherwise to declare or pay any dividends or other distributions (other than the obligations of PBF LLC to make tax distributions to its members).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks, including changes in commodity prices and interest rates. Our primary commodity price risk is associated with the difference between the prices we sell our refined products and the prices we pay for crude oil and other feedstocks. We may use derivative instruments to manage the risks from changes in the prices of crude oil and refined products, natural gas, interest rates, or to capture market opportunities.
Commodity Price Risk
Our earnings, cash flow and liquidity are significantly affected by a variety of factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, other feedstocks, refined products, and natural gas. The supply of and demand for these commodities depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, planned and unplanned downtime in refineries, pipelines and production facilities, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive and alternative fuels, and the extent of government regulation. As a result, the prices of these commodities can be volatile. Our revenues fluctuate significantly with movements in industry refined product prices, our cost of sales fluctuates significantly with movements in crude oil and feedstock prices and our operating expenses fluctuate with movements in the price of natural gas. We manage our exposure to these commodity price risks through our supply and offtake agreements as well as through the use of various commodity derivative instruments.
We may use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of crude oil and feedstocks, finished products and natural gas outside of our supply and offtake agreements. The derivative instruments we use include physical commodity contracts and exchange-traded and over-the-counter financial instruments. We mark-to-market our commodity derivative instruments and recognize the changes in their fair value in our statements of operations.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had gross open commodity derivative contracts representing 45.3 million barrels and 29.1 million barrels, respectively, with an unrealized net loss of $3.2 million and net gain of $33.2 million, respectively. The open commodity derivative contracts as of September 30, 2024 expire at various times during 2024 and 2025.
We carry inventories of crude oil, intermediates, and refined products (“hydrocarbon inventories”) on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the values of which are subject to fluctuations in market prices. Our hydrocarbon inventories totaled approximately 30.7 million barrels and 36.2 million barrels at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The average cost of our hydrocarbon inventories was approximately $84.62 and $83.64 per barrel on a LIFO basis at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The average cost of our hydrocarbon inventories at September 30, 2024 excludes the net impact of an LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $154.5 million, whereas at December 31, 2023, the replacement value of inventory exceeded the LIFO carrying value. If market prices of our inventory decline to a level below our average cost, we may be required to write down the carrying value of our hydrocarbon inventories to market.
Our predominant variable operating cost is energy, which is comprised primarily of natural gas and electricity. We are therefore sensitive to movements in natural gas prices. Assuming normal operating conditions, we expect our annual consumption to range from 70 million to 90 million MMBTUs of natural gas amongst our six refineries. Accordingly, a $1.00 per MMBTU change in natural gas prices would increase or decrease our natural gas costs by approximately $70.0 million to $90.0 million.
65


Compliance Program Price Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to our obligations to buy, and the volatility in the price of, credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory compliance programs, which include RINs, required to comply with the RFS. Our overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of our domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by Environmental Protection Agency. To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RINs obligation, we must purchase RINs on the open market. To mitigate the impact of the market risk relating to our obligations on our results of operations and cash flows, we may elect to purchase RINs or other environmental credits as part of our liability management strategy. We also have the ability to purchase RINs directly from SBR.
In addition, we are exposed to risks associated with complying with federal and state legislative and regulatory measures to address GHG and other emissions. Requirements to reduce emissions could result in increased costs to operate and maintain our facilities as well as implement and manage new emission controls and programs put in place. Compliance with such emission standards may require the purchase of emission credits or similar instruments.
Certain of these compliance contracts or instruments qualify as derivative instruments. For certain of these contracts, we elect the normal purchase normal sale exception under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, for such instruments, and therefore do not record these contracts at their fair value.
Interest Rate Risk
The maximum commitment under our Revolving Credit Facility is $3.5 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest either at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at the Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin, all as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2024, we had no outstanding balance in variable interest debt. If this facility were fully drawn, a 1.0% change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $23.6 million annually.
Credit Risk
We are subject to risk of losses resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our counterparties. We continue to closely monitor the creditworthiness of customers to whom we grant credit and establish credit limits in accordance with our credit policy.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted evaluations, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2024. Based upon these evaluations, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, we assumed certain pre-existing environmental liabilities related to certain environmental remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and monitoring activities, which reflect the estimated cost of the remediation obligations. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, we purchased a ten-year, $100.0 million environmental insurance policy to insure against unknown environmental liabilities.
We currently have multiple outstanding notices of violation (“NOVs”) issued by regulatory authorities for various alleged regulation and permit violations at our refineries. It is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these NOVs or the amount of the penalties that will be assessed in connection with any NOV. If any one or more of them were decided against us, we believe that there would be no material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state, or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment, if a governmental authority is a party to such proceeding and such proceeding involves potential monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, that exceeds a specified threshold. We use a threshold of $1 million for such determination because we believe that such threshold is reasonably designed to result in disclosure of any such proceeding that is material to the business or financial condition.
On November 24, 2022, the Martinez refinery, owned and operated by Martinez Refinery Company LLC (“MRC”), experienced a spent catalyst release that is currently being investigated by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (“BAAQMD”), Contra Costa County (“CCC”), the Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), and the California Department of Fish and Game (“DFG”). To date, the BAAQMD has issued 35 NOVs, the CCC has issued two NOVs, and the DFG has made findings relating to the spent catalyst incident. On July 11, 2023 and October 6, 2023, the Martinez refinery experienced unintentional releases of petroleum coke dust and received inquiries or notices of investigation from the BAAQMD, the California Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Occupational Safety and Health (“CalOSHA”), the CCC, and the EPA. The BAAQMD also issued an NOV relating to the July 11, 2023 coke dust incident and an NOV relating to the October 6, 2023 coke dust incident. On December 15, 2023, the Martinez refinery experienced an unexpected flaring incident, and subsequently on December 18, 2023 a brush fire incident, and has received inquiries or notices of investigation from the BAAQMD, CalOSHA, and the CCC. The BAAQMD additionally issued an NOV relating to the December 15, 2023 flaring incident and four NOVs relating to the December 18, 2023 brush fire incident. The DFG, the CCC, and the BAAQMD have referred their findings and/or NOVs to the CCC District Attorney for the spent catalyst incident and various other incidents. On November 16, 2023, the CCC District Attorney and the BAAQMD announced a joint civil enforcement action against MRC that will include enforcement of the BAAQMD’s, the CCC’s, and the DFG’s claims from the spent catalyst incident, as well as additional enforcement claims from various incidents. For the spent catalyst, coke dust, flaring, brush fire, and other incidents, no penalties have been assessed to date by the various agencies. We presently believe the outcomes will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On September 27, 2023, MRC received from the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (“RWQCB”) an Administrative Civil Liability (“ACL”) assessment in the amount of $13.8 million for allegedly: (1) exceeding its effluent limitations and discharging to the Carquinez Strait without authorization in October 2022, January 2023, and June 2023; and (2) failing to submit Climate Change Adaptation information. On January 12, 2024, MRC met with the RWQCB to discuss its response to their ACL assessment. Based on the discussions and the information provided by MRC, the RWQCB proposed reducing the ACL assessment to approximately $4.5 million and noted that for any settlement 50% of the penalty could be in the form of Enhanced Compliance Actions (“ECAs”), Supplemental Environmental Projects (“SEPs”), or a combination of the two. On January 19, 2024, MRC agreed to accept the reduced ACL, with 50% of the approximately $4.5 million dedicated to ECAs or SEPs. MRC subsequently agreed to fund only SEPs relating to marsh restoration, regional water quality monitoring, and water quality classroom education in the Martinez, California area. The parties are finalizing the settlement agreement and stipulation for entry of the administrative civil liability order. Once it is finalized, it will be subject to a 30-day comment period before approval by the RWQCB’s Executive Officer.
On February 17, 2017, in Arnold Goldstein, et al. v. Exxon Mobil Corporation, et al., we and PBF LLC, and our subsidiaries, PBF Energy Western Region LLC (“PBF Western Region”) and Torrance Refining Company LLC and the manager of our Torrance refinery along with ExxonMobil were named as defendants in a class action and representative action complaint. The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles and alleges negligence, strict liability, ultra-hazardous activity, a continuing private nuisance, a permanent private nuisance, a continuing public nuisance, a permanent public nuisance and trespass resulting from the February 18, 2015 electrostatic precipitator (“ESP”) explosion at the Torrance refinery which was then owned and operated by ExxonMobil. The operation of the Torrance refinery by the PBF entities subsequent to our acquisition in July 2016 is also referenced in the complaint. To the extent that plaintiffs’ claims relate to the ESP explosion, ExxonMobil retained responsibility for any liabilities that would arise from the lawsuit pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of the Torrance refinery. On July 2, 2018, the Court granted leave to plaintiffs to file a Second Amended Complaint alleging groundwater contamination. With the filing of the Second Amended Complaint, plaintiffs added an additional plaintiff, Hany Youssef. On October 15, 2019, the judge granted certification to two limited classes of property owners with Youssef as the sole class representative and named plaintiff, rejecting two other proposed subclasses based on negligence and on strict liability for ultrahazardous activities. The certified subclasses relate to trespass claims for ground contamination and nuisance for air emissions. On May 5, 2021, the Court granted plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint for the third time to substitute Navarro for Youssef. On July 5, 2022, the Court issued a final order ruling that plaintiffs’ Motion to Substitute Navarro as Class Representative was denied and decertifying both of plaintiffs’ proposed Air and Ground Subclasses. The order provided that the case will proceed with Navarro as the sole plaintiff. On September 22, 2022, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed. On February 27, 2023, the Court issued an order granting our motion for judgment on the pleadings and dismissed plaintiff’s trespass claim with prejudice and granted plaintiff leave to amend his nuisance claims in conformity with the order if he can do so consistent with Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures. On March 27, 2023, plaintiff filed a Fourth Amended Complaint relating to the remaining nuisance claims. On May 23, 2023, the Court denied our motion to dismiss on the pleadings for plaintiff’s failure to establish standing to bring the nuisance claims. After completing further discovery, on August 28, 2023, we filed a Motion for Summary Judgment. On October 18, 2023, the Court issued an order granting our motion, adjudged that plaintiff take nothing, and that the action be dismissed with prejudice. The order also allows us to recover the costs of suit pursuant to a bill of costs. On October 30, 2023, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit regarding the Court’s order granting summary judgment. The Court has granted plaintiff extensions of approximately 90 days to file their opening brief, which they filed on May 27, 2024. After being granted a similar 90-day extension, we filed our answering brief on September 25, 2024. Plaintiff’s reply brief is due January 24, 2025. We presently believe the outcome of this litigation will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On August 16, 2023, in Joseph Piscitelli and Lara Zanzucchi v. Martinez Refining Company LLC, our subsidiary MRC was named as a defendant in a class action and representative action complaint which contains allegations of public and private nuisance, trespass, and negligence arising from MRC’s operations. MRC filed its answer to the complaint on October 31, 2023. The initial Court hearing to discuss discovery issues was held on January 2, 2024. At the hearing, the Court raised the issue of mediation and directed the parties to meet and confer and agree to stipulate to a mediation deadline. On January 9, 2024, the parties filed a stipulation agreeing to consider private mediation by September 20, 2024. On January 17, 2024, the Court issued a scheduling order setting the class certification hearing for April 10, 2025. On April 4, 2024, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file a First Amendment Complaint (the “Piscitelli FAC”) to add plaintiff Malan and dismiss plaintiff Zanzucchi, which plaintiffs filed on April 10, 2024. On the same day, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion. MRC filed its answer to the Piscitelli FAC on April 23, 2024. On May 3, 2024, the Court denied MRC’s motion to relate this case and the Cruz case (discussed below). On June 17, 2024, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion to dismiss plaintiff Piscitelli. The parties are currently engaged in discovery. The class certification hearing is currently scheduled for April 10, 2025. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On December 15, 2023, in Alena Cruz and Shannon Payne vs. PBF Energy Inc., et. al, we and our subsidiaries PBF Western Region and MRC were named as defendants in a class action and representative action complaint filed by Alena Cruz and Shannon Payne, and on behalf of all others similarly situated. The complaint contains allegations of Clean Air Act (“CAA”) violations, claims for medical and environmental monitoring, liability for ultrahazardous activities, negligence, and public and private nuisance from MRC’s operations. The proposed class is all individuals who reside and/or work in the City of Martinez, including the surrounding communities of Alhambra Valley and Franklin Canyon, as well as El Sobrante, Hercules, Benicia, and Richmond, who have allegedly been exposed to elevated levels of spent catalyst discharged from MRC’s operations during the period November 24, 2022 to the present. On December 21, 2023, plaintiffs granted an extension until February 5, 2024 for MRC to respond to the initial complaint. On February 5, 2024, MRC filed a motion to dismiss on the pleadings. In response, on February 16, 2024, plaintiffs filed a First Amendment Complaint (the “Cruz FAC”). On February 29, 2024, MRC filed a motion to dismiss the Cruz FAC on the pleadings. Plaintiffs’ opposition was filed on March 14, 2024. MRC filed its reply to plaintiffs’ opposition on March 21, 2024. At the motion hearing on April 4, 2024, the Court granted MRC’s request to dismiss all wrongly named PBF entities and plaintiffs’ CAA and Medical Monitoring causes of action. At the following Status Conference on April 4, 2024, the Court agreed that the Cruz and Piscitelli cases should now be related. The Court ordered the Cruz and Piscitelli plaintiffs to meet and confer on a joint discovery schedule and report back to the Court by the end of April 2024. On May 3, 2024, the Piscitelli Court denied MRC’s motion to relate this case and the Piscitelli case (discussed above). On May 17, 2024, MRC filed its answer to the Cruz FAC. On June 5, 2024, the Court stayed the case, pending the outcome of the class property damage claim in the Piscitelli case. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On July 31, 2024, in Jennifer Frye, et al. v. Martinez Refining Company LLC, MRC was named as a defendant in a complaint filed by 18 individuals which contains allegations of negligence, public and private nuisance, premise liability, trespass, and strict liability ultrahazardous activities. On October 7, 2024, MRC filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Also on October 7, 2024, plaintiffs filed a motion to relate the Frye case to the Piscitelli and Cruz cases. The Piscitelli Court subsequently denied the motion to relate the three cases. The motion to relate Frye to the Cruz case is currently pending with the Cruz Court. Currently, Plaintiffs’ opposition brief to MRC’s motion to dismiss is due November 11, 2024, MRC’s reply brief is due November 22, 2024, and the motion hearing is currently scheduled for December 20, 2024.

On December 21, 2023, EPA Region 5 issued a Finding of Violation (“FOV”) alleging violations of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. §§ 7411, 7412, and regulations promulgated under those sections, of the National Emission Standard for Benzene Waste Operations at 40 C.F.R. Part 61, Subpart FF, of the New Source Performance Standards for Volatile Organic Compounds from Petroleum Wastewater Systems at 40 C.F.R. Part 60, Subpart QQQ, and of our CAA Title V operating permit for the Wastewater Treatment Unit at our Toledo refinery. This FOV followed an EPA compliance inspection at the Toledo refinery conducted in September 2023. We have recently been engaged in discussions with EPA to resolve these matters, but we cannot currently estimate the timing of the resolution or the amount of any potential civil penalties. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), also known as “Superfund,” imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current or former owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that disposed of or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for investigation and the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. As discussed more fully above, certain of our sites are subject to these laws and we may be held liable for investigation and remediation costs or claims for natural resource damages. It is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances or other pollutants released into the environment. Analogous state laws impose similar responsibilities and liabilities on responsible parties. In our current normal operations, we have generated waste, some of which falls within the statutory definition of a “hazardous substance” and some of which may have been disposed of at sites that may require cleanup under Superfund.
As the ultimate outcomes of the pending matters discussed above are uncertain, we cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of their resolution, but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, individually or in the aggregate.

These repurchases may be made from time to time through various methods, including open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, certain of which have been effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and number of shares repurchased depended on a variety of factors, including price, capital availability, legal requirements, and economic and market conditions. We were not obligated to purchase any shares under the Repurchase Program, and repurchases could be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
