SUGAR LAND, Texas, March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CVI) today reported net income of $69.4 million for the full year of 2009, or $0.80 per fully diluted share, and net income of $9.5 million for the fourth quarter 2009, or $0.11 per fully diluted share, on full-year net sales of $3,136.3 million and fourth quarter net sales of $921.9 million.

The 2009 results compare to net income for the full year 2008 of $163.9 million, or $1.90 per fully diluted share, and fourth quarter 2008 net income of $11.1 million, or $0.13 per fully diluted share. The 2008 results came on net sales of $5,016.1 million for the full year and net sales of $699.7 million in the fourth quarter.
Operating income for the full year in 2009 was $208.2 million, compared to $148.7 million in 2008. The company reported a fourth quarter 2009 operating income of $19.6 million, compared to an operating loss of $133.6 million for the fourth quarter 2008.
"We are pleased with our fourth quarter results in a difficult environment. Refining margins remain under pressure because of the current economic downturn, with demand for transportation fuels down as people drive fewer miles and manufacturers ship fewer goods," said Chief Executive Officer Jack Lipinski. "However, nitrogen fertilizer prices continue a healthy improvement from their low point last June.
"Because of the investments we have made in the past, we are in a good position to weather the current downturn and expect to emerge a stronger company when the economy more fully recovers."
Several items affected fourth quarter and full year 2009 and 2008 net income and earnings per share. These items included expenses or reversals thereof for share-based compensation and the impact of "unrealized gain or loss from cash flow swap." The cash flow swap agreement was terminated effective October 2009.
In addition, the 2008 results were affected by the costs of a planned turnaround at the nitrogen fertilizer facility and a goodwill impairment loss of $42.8 million taken in the fourth quarter of that year resulting from the application of impairment testing criteria under accounting policies. No impairment charges occurred in 2009.
Also, results for the full year and fourth quarter of 2009 were favorably impacted by our use of first-in/first-out (FIFO) accounting in the amounts of $67.9 million and $20.5 million respectively, as compared to unfavorable impacts in 2008 of $102.5 million and $117.1 million for the full year and fourth quarter, respectively.
Revised to include the above items net of tax impact, adjusted net income for the full year 2009 was $60.4 million, or $0.70 per share, and an adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter of $13.8 million, or a loss of $0.16 per share. The 2009 results compare to adjusted net income of $85.4 million, or $0.99 per share, for the full year 2008, and $11.5 million, or $0.13 per share, for the fourth quarter 2008.
Petroleum Business
The petroleum business reported operating income for the full year 2009 of $170.2 million on net sales of $2,934.9 million and for the fourth quarter 2009 posted operating income of $9.0 million on net sales of $883.2 million. This compares to operating income of $31.9 million for the full year 2008 on net sales of $4,774.3 million and an operating loss in the fourth quarter 2008 of $153.8 million on net sales of $636.4 million. The 2009 fourth quarter net income was favorably impacted by FIFO accounting in the amount of $20.5 million compared to an unfavorable FIFO impact of $117.1 million in the fourth quarter 2008.
Crude throughput for the full year of 2009 averaged 108,226 barrels per day (bpd), and for the fourth quarter 2009 crude throughput averaged 113,576 bpd. These figures compare to an average crude throughput of 105,837 bpd for the full year in 2008. Including all feedstocks and blendstocks, total throughput in 2009 averaged 120,239 bpd for the full year and 125,966 bpd for the fourth quarter.
Gross profit per barrel was $5.42 for the full year 2009 and $1.09 in the fourth quarter. Refining margin per barrel adjusted for FIFO impact, a non-GAAP measure, was $8.93 for the full year 2009 and $4.21 for the fourth quarter (see footnote 6 in the accompanying tables).

(1) The Company has two classifications for share-based compensation
awards. Phantom Unit Plan awards are accounted for as liability
based awards. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") ASC 718,
Compensation – Stock Compensation, the expense associated with
these awards is based on the current fair value of the awards. These
awards are remeasured at each reporting date until the awards are
settled in their entirety. Override unit awards are accounted for as
equity-classified awards using the guidance for non-employee awards
prescribed by FASB ASC 323. ASC 323 includes guidance for the proper
accounting by an investor for stock-based compensation granted to
employees of an equity method investee. In addition, guidance set
forth in FASB ASC 505, provides the treatment related to accounting
for equity investments that are issued to other than employees for
acquiring, or in conjunction with selling goods or services. In
accordance with that guidance, the expense associated with these
awards is based on the current fair value of the awards. These awards
are remeasured at each reporting date until the awards are vested
(when the performance commitment is reached). The value of all of
these awards can fluctuate significantly between periods.
The compensation expense associated with our Phantom Unit Plan and
override units is recorded in direct operating expenses, selling,
general and administrative expenses, and other income. Below is a
breakdown of the expense by statement of operations caption and by
business segment.

(2) Upon applying the goodwill impairment testing criteria under
existing accounting rules during the fourth quarter of 2008, we
determined that the goodwill of the petroleum segment was impaired,
which resulted in a goodwill impairment loss of $42.8 million in the
fourth quarter. This goodwill impairment is included in the
petroleum segment operating income (loss) adjusted for special items
but is excluded in the refining margin and the refining margin per
crude oil throughput barrel data.
(3) The unrealized gain (loss) from Cash Flow Swap related to the
derivative transaction that was executed in conjunction with the
acquisition of Coffeyville Group Holdings, LLC by Coffeyville
Acquisition LLC on June 24, 2005. On June 16, 2005, Coffeyville
Acquisition LLC entered into the Cash Flow Swap with J. Aron &
Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., and a related
party of ours. The Cash Flow Swap was subsequently assigned from
Coffeyville Acquisition LLC to Coffeyville Resources, LLC on June 24,
2005. The derivative took the form of three NYMEX swap agreements
whereby if absolute (i.e., in dollar terms, not a percentage of crude
oil prices) crack spreads fell below the fixed level, J. Aron agreed
to pay the difference to us, and if crack spreads rose above the
fixed level, we agreed to pay the difference to J. Aron. Based upon
expected crude oil capacity of 115,000 bpd, the Cash Flow Swap
represented approximately 14% of crude oil capacity for the period
from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.
We have determined that the Cash Flow Swap did not qualify as a hedge
for hedge accounting purposes under current U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"). As a result, our periodic Statements
of Operations reflected in each period material amounts of unrealized
gains and losses based on the increases or decreases in market value
of the unsettled position under the swap agreements which are
accounted for as an asset (receivable from swap counterparty) or
liability (payable to swap counterparty) on our balance sheet, as
applicable. As the absolute crack spreads increased, we were required
to record an increase in the liability account with a corresponding
expense entry to be made to our Statement of Operations. Conversely,
as absolute crack spreads decline, we were required to record a
decrease in the swap related liability and post a corresponding
income entry to our Statement of Operations. Because of this inverse
relationship between the economic outlook for our underlying
business (as represented by crack spread levels) and the income
impact of the unrealized gains and losses, and given the significant
periodic fluctuations in the amounts of unrealized gains and losses,
management utilized net income (loss) adjusted for unrealized gain or
loss from Cash Flow Swap as a key indicator of our business
performance. In managing our business and assessing its growth and
profitability from a strategic and financial planning perspective,
management and our board of directors consider our GAAP net income
results as well as net income (loss) adjusted for unrealized gain or
loss from Cash Flow Swap. We believe that net income (loss) adjusted
for unrealized gain or loss from Cash Flow Swap, enhances the
understanding of our results of operations by highlighting
income attributable to our ongoing operating performance exclusive of
charges and income resulting from mark-to-market adjustments that are
not necessarily indicative of the performance of our underlying
business and our industry. The adjustment has been made for the
unrealized gain or loss from Cash Flow Swap net of its related tax
effect.
Net income (loss) adjusted for unrealized gain or loss from Cash Flow
Swap is not a recognized financial measure under GAAP and should not
be substituted for net income as a measure of our performance but
instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of financial
performance in evaluating our business. Our presentation of this non-
GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of
other companies. We believe that net income (loss) adjusted for
unrealized gain or loss from Cash Flow Swap is important to enable
investors to better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating
results and allows for greater transparency in the review of our
overall financial, operational and economic performance.
The Cash Flow Swap terminated effective October 8, 2009. The
termination resulted in a settlement whereby J. Aron paid Coffeyville
Resources, LLC approximately $3.9 million. The Company was permitted
to terminate the Cash Flow Swap pursuant to an amendment to the
company's credit agreement entered into on October 2, 2009.
(4) First-in, first-out (FIFO) is the Company's basis for determining
inventory value on a GAAP basis. Changes in crude oil prices can
cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of our crude oil, work
in process and finished goods thereby resulting in favorable FIFO
impacts when crude oil prices increase and unfavorable FIFO impacts
when crude oil prices decrease. The FIFO impact is calculated based
upon inventory values at the beginning of the accounting period and
at the end of the accounting period. In order to derive the FIFO
impact per crude oil throughput barrel, we utilize the total dollar
figures for the FIFO impact and divide by the number of crude oil
throughput barrels for the period. Below is the gross and tax
affected FIFO impacts for the applicable periods:

(5) Net income (loss) adjusted for unrealized gain or loss from Cash Flow
Swap and other items results from adjusting net income for items that
the Company believes are needed in order to evaluate results in a
more comparative analysis from period to period. For the three and
twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, these items included
the unrealized gain (loss) from Cash Flow Swap, share-based
compensation expense, goodwill impairment, the Company's impact of
the accounting for its inventory under FIFO and major scheduled
turnaround expenses. Adjusted net income (loss) is not a recognized
term under GAAP and should not be substituted for net income (loss)
as a measure of our performance but rather should be utilized as a
supplemental measure of financial performance in evaluating our
business. Management believes that adjusted net income (loss)
provides relevant and useful information that enables investors to
better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating results and
allow for greater transparency in the review of our overall
financial, operational and economic performance.
(6) Refining margin is a measurement calculated as the difference between
net sales and cost of product sold (exclusive of depreciation and
amortization). Refining margin is a non-GAAP measure that we believe
is important to investors in evaluating our refinery's performance as
a general indication of the amount above our cost of product sold
that we are able to sell refined products. Each of the components
used in this calculation (net sales and cost of product sold
exclusive of depreciation and amortization) can be taken directly
from our Statement of Operations. Our calculation of refining margin
may differ from similar calculations of other companies in our
industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
In order to derive the refining margin per crude oil throughput
barrel, we utilize the total dollar figures for refining margin as
derived above and divide by the applicable number of crude oil
throughput barrels for the period. We believe that refining margin is
important to enable investors to better understand and evaluate our
ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in the
review of our overall financial, operational and economic
performance.
(7) Refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact is a measurement calculated
as the difference between net sales and cost of product sold
(exclusive of depreciation and amortization) adjusted for FIFO
impacts. Under our FIFO accounting method, changes in crude oil
prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of our crude
oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in
favorable FIFO impacts when crude oil prices increase and unfavorable
FIFO impacts when crude oil prices decrease. Refining margin adjusted
for FIFO impact is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is important to
investors in evaluating our refinery's performance as a general
indication of the amount above our cost of product sold (taking into
account the impact of our utilization of FIFO) that we are able to
sell refined products. Our calculation of refining margin adjusted
for FIFO impact may differ from calculations of other companies in
our industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative
measure.
(8) Adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted for impacts of other items
is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is important in evaluating the
on-going operations of our segments. This calculation is made in
order to adjust for what the Company believes are significant non-
operating items such as the impact of our share-based compensation,
major scheduled turnaround costs and the impacts of our accounting
under FIFO for the petroleum segment. In addition, management \
evaluates operating income adjusted for non-recurring events, such as
the goodwill impairment recognized in the Petroleum segment in 2008.
Adjusted operating income (loss) is not a recognized term under GAAP
and should not be substituted for operating income as a measure of
our performance but instead should be utilized as a supplemental
measure of financial performance in evaluating our business. We
believe that adjusted operating income (loss) is important to enable
investors to better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating
results and allow for greater transparency in the review of our
overall financial, operational and economic performance.
(9) The gross tons produced for ammonia represent the total ammonia
produced, including ammonia produced that was upgraded into UAN. The
net tons available for sale represent the ammonia available for sale
that was not upgraded into UAN.
(10) Plant gate sales per ton represent net sales less freight and
hydrogen revenue divided by product sales volume in tons in the
reporting period. Plant gate pricing per ton is shown in order to
provide a pricing measure that is comparable across the fertilizer
industry.
(11) On-stream factor is the total number of hours operated divided by the
total number of hours in the reporting period. Excluding the impact
of the Linde air separation unit outage in 2009 and the major
scheduled turnaround in 2008, (i) the on-stream factors for the
three months ended December 31, 2009 would not have changed, (ii) the
on-stream factors for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009
adjusted for the Linde air separation unit outage would have been
99.3% for gasifier, 98.4% for ammonia and 96.1% for UAN, (iii) the
on-stream factors for the three months ended December 31, 2008
adjusted for turnaround would have been 93.8% for gasifier, 92.1% for
ammonia and 90.4% for UAN, and (iv) the on-stream factors for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2008 adjusted for turnaround would
have been 91.7% for gasifier, 90.2% for ammonia and 87.4% for UAN.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the actual results in accordance with GAAP for the applicable periods, the Company also uses non-GAAP measures as discussed above, which are adjusted for GAAP-based results. The use of non-GAAP adjustments are not in accordance with or an alternate for GAAP. The adjustments are provided to enhance an overall understanding of the Company's financial performance for the applicable periods and are indicators management believes are relevant and useful for planning and forecasting future periods.
