- Full year income from operations of $2,951.5 million (excluding special items, full year income from operations of $2,017.6 million)

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PBF Energy Inc. (NYSE: PBF) today reported fourth quarter 2023 loss from operations of $47.2 million as compared to income from operations of $955.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding special items, fourth quarter 2023 loss from operations was $46.1 million as compared to income from operations of $873.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.
The company reported fourth quarter 2023 net loss of $48.4 million and net loss attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $48.4 million or $(0.40) per share. This compares to net income of $656.1 million, and net income attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $637.8 million or $4.86 per share for the fourth quarter of 2022. Special items in the fourth quarter 2023 results, which increased our results by a net, after-tax benefit of $0.7 million, or $0.01 per share, primarily consisted of net changes in the fair value of contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of the Martinez refinery and related logistics assets, and a benefit related to a change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, offset by a decrease to our gain on formation of Saint Bernard Renewables ("SBR") equity method investment and our share of the SBR lower-of-cost-or-market ("LCM") inventory adjustment. Adjusted fully-converted net loss for the fourth quarter 2023, excluding special items, was $49.4 million, or $(0.41) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis, as described below, compared to adjusted fully-converted net income of $582.9 million or $4.41 per share, for the fourth quarter 2022.
PBF's President and Chief Executive Officer Matthew Lucey said, "In 2023, we completed the transformation of PBF Energy's balance sheet. Our financial discipline has put PBF on the strongest financial footing in our history as a public company. Our operations delivered our second-best financial year." Mr. Lucey continued, "In addition to enhancing equity value by further reducing debt by approximately $700 million, we demonstrated our commitment to shareholder returns by returning approximately $640 million through dividends and share buybacks in 2023. We are pleased to announce a $750 million increase to our buyback authorization, resulting in more than $1 billion in current capacity. We remain focused on delivering value to our shareholders."
Mr. Lucey concluded, "Looking ahead, we continue to invest in and optimize our assets. We are committed to safe, responsible and reliable operations, and we are focused on effectively capturing markets to deliver strong financial results. Global refining markets remain structurally tight, and new refinery additions will be needed to offset growing global demand as well as shutdowns and conversions of existing refineries. In this environment, PBF's complex, predominantly coastal refining system, is well-positioned to thrive."
Income from operations was $2,951.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to income from operations of $4,153.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Excluding special items, income from operations was $2,017.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to income from operations of $4,201.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Adjusted fully-converted net income for the year ended December 31, 2023, excluding special items, was $1,477.3 million, or $11.32 per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis, as compared to an adjusted fully-converted net income, excluding special items, of $2,963.5 million, or $23.36 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2022.
PBF Energy Inc. Declares Dividend
The company announced today that it will pay a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share of Class A Common Stock on March 14, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 29, 2024.
Renewable Diesel
SBR averaged approximately 12,000 barrels per day of renewable diesel production in the fourth quarter. Production in the fourth quarter was impacted primarily by a renewable diesel unit catalyst change performed during the quarter.
Strategic Update and Outlook
PBF's operational and financial performance in 2023 allowed the company to cement the work to establish a firm foundation upon which we can build a sustainable and diversified future. At year-end, we had approximately $1.8 billion of cash. Our unsecured debt is now below pre-pandemic levels and PBF was in a net cash position at year-end 2023. We paid over $105 million in dividends in 2023 including the 25% dividend increase announced in November 2023. We continued to execute on our share repurchase program, finishing the year with over $530 million in share repurchases, including approximately $150 million repurchased during the fourth quarter. PBF's Board of Directors authorized a $750 million increase to the existing share repurchase authorization which allows for more than $1 billion of additional repurchases from today. We believe these measures have generated significant value for our investors in the near-term and, more importantly, demonstrate our commitment to fiscal discipline, long-term value creation and shareholder returns.
In 2024, PBF is committed to conducting extensive maintenance and multiple turnarounds across our refining system. Our goal is to sustain safe, reliable and environmentally responsible operations to supply the markets with our vital products. Our current turnaround schedule for the first half of 2024 is as follows, subject to change:
- East Coast - Delaware City FCC (Q1)
- Mid-Continent - Hydrocracker, Crude and UDEX (Q1)
- West Coast - Martinez Hydrocracker (Q2)
Timing and throughput ranges provided reflect current expectations and are subject to change based on market conditions and other factors. PBF's total refining system throughput for full-year 2024 is expected to be approximately 895,000 to 955,000 barrels per day. First quarter throughput expectations are included in the table below.
Expected throughput ranges (barrels per day) | ||
First Quarter 2024 | ||
Low | High | |

All figures and timelines are subject to change based on a variety of factors, including market and macroeconomic factors, as well as company strategic decision-making and overall company performance.
Adjusted Fully-Converted Results
Adjusted fully-converted results assume the exchange of all PBF Energy Company LLC Series A Units and dilutive securities into shares of PBF Energy Inc. Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, resulting in the elimination of the noncontrolling interest and a corresponding adjustment to the company's tax provision.

EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES | ||||||||||||||
FOOTNOTES TO EARNINGS RELEASE TABLES | ||||||||||||||
(1) Adjusted fully-converted information is presented in this table as management believes that these Non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare our results across the periods presented and facilitates an understanding of our operating results. We also use these measures to evaluate our operating performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The differences between adjusted fully-converted and GAAP results are explained in footnotes 2 through 6. | ||||||||||||||
(2) Represents the elimination of the noncontrolling interest associated with the ownership by the members of PBF Energy Company LLC ("PBF LLC") other than PBF Energy Inc., as if such members had fully exchanged their PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. | ||||||||||||||
(3) Represents an adjustment to reflect PBF Energy's annualized statutory corporate tax rate of approximately 26.0% and 25.9% for the 2023 and 2022 periods, respectively, applied to net income attributable to noncontrolling interest for all periods presented. The adjustment assumes the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in footnote 2. | ||||||||||||||
(4) The Non-GAAP measures presented include adjusted fully-converted net income (loss) excluding special items, income (loss) from operations excluding special items, EBITDA excluding special items and gross refining margin excluding special items. Special items for the periods presented relate to our share of the SBR LCM inventory reserve, net changes in fair value of contingent consideration, loss on extinguishment of debt and costs associated with the early termination of the Inventory Intermediation Agreement, changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, gain on land sale, changes in our gain on the formation of the SBR equity method investment, and a net tax benefit on remeasurement of deferred tax assets, all as discussed further below. Additionally, the cumulative effects of all current and prior period special items on equity are shown in footnote 13. 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 useful 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. | ||||||||||||||
Special Items: Lower of cost or market ("LCM") Adjustment is a GAAP requirement related to inventory valuation that mandates inventory to be stated at the lower of cost or market. SBR LCM inventory adjustment - For 2023, an LCM write down of $77.4 million is included in SBR's results of operations. Our Equity loss in investee includes our 50% share of this adjustment. This LCM write-down decreased PBF Energy's income from operations and net income by $38.7 million and $28.6 million, respectively. | ||||||||||||||
Change in fair value of contingent consideration, net - During the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded net changes in fair value of contingent consideration related to the earn-out liability associated with the acquisition of the Martinez refinery (the "Martinez Contingent Consideration"). These changes in estimate increased income from operations by $78.2 million and $45.8 million ($57.9 million and $33.9 million, net of tax) for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded net changes in fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration, offset by the recognition of contingent assets associated with this acquisition. These changes in estimate increased income from operations by $82.6 million ($61.2 million, net of tax) for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and decreased income from operations by $48.3 million ($35.8 million, net of tax) for the year ended December 31, 2022. | ||||||||||||||
Loss on extinguishment of debt and termination of Inventory Intermediation Agreement - During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of our 7.25% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the "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. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a net pre-tax loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of our 9.25% senior secured notes due 2025 (the "2025 Senior Secured Notes"), partially offset by the gain recognized on the repurchase of a portion of each of the 6.00% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the "2028 Senior Notes") and the 2025 Senior Notes. These nonrecurring charges decreased income before income taxes and net income by $66.1 million and $49.0 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 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 are included within Interest expense, net, in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. | ||||||||||||||
Gain on land sales - During the year ended December 31, 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 all other periods presented. | ||||||||||||||
Loss (gain) on formation of SBR equity method investment - During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a decrease to the gain associated with the formation of the SBR equity method investment, which decreased income from operations and net income by $40.6 million and $30.0 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a net gain resulting from the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the assets associated with the business contributed to SBR, which increased income from operations and net income by $925.1 million and $684.6 million, respectively. There was no such gains in any other periods presented. | ||||||||||||||
Change in Tax Receivable Agreement liability - During the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability that increased income before income taxes and net income by $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability that decreased income before income taxes by $2.1 million and $290.3 million ($1.6 million and $215.1 million, net of tax), respectively. The changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability reflect charges or benefits attributable to changes in PBF Energy's obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement, inclusive of factors out of our control such as changes in tax rates, as well as periodic adjustments to our liability based, in part, on an updated estimate of the amounts that we expect to pay, using assumptions consistent with those used in our concurrent estimate of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. | ||||||||||||||
Net Tax Benefit on Remeasurement of Deferred Tax Assets - The deferred tax valuation allowance was reduced to zero as of December 31, 2022, therefore, there was no impact to our financial statements related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a decrease to our deferred tax valuation allowance of $308.5 million (reducing our deferred tax valuation allowance to zero), of which $233.8 million related to a tax benefit with respect to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and the balance related to our net changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability. The deferred tax valuation allowance is recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. There were no such benefits or expenses in all other periods presented. | ||||||||||||||
Recomputed Income Tax on Special Items - The income tax impact on special items, other than the net tax benefit special item discussed above, was calculated using the tax rates shown in footnote 3 above. | ||||||||||||||
(5) Represents an adjustment to weighted-average diluted shares outstanding to assume the full exchange of existing PBF LLC Series A Units as described in footnote 2 above. | ||||||||||||||
(6) 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 months and years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share Units and options and warrants to purchase 5,526,057 and 18,431 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share Units and options and warrants to purchase 22,000 and 3,877,035 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A Units because they are anti-dilutive for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively. For periods showing a net loss, all common stock equivalents and unvested restricted stock are considered anti-dilutive. | ||||||||||||||
(7) Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before adjustments for items such as stock-based compensation expense, change in the fair value of catalyst obligations, changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability due to factors out of our control such as changes in tax rates, net change in the fair value of contingent consideration, gain on land sale, loss on extinguishment of debt, changes in the gain on the formation of the SBR equity method investment and certain other non-cash items. We use these Non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to our GAAP results in order to provide additional metrics on factors and trends affecting our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures of operating performance that are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have their limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. | ||||||||||||||
(8) We operate in two reportable segments: Refining and Logistics. Our operations that are not included in the Refining and Logistics segments are included in Corporate. As of December 31, 2023, the Refining segment includes the operations of our oil refineries and related facilities in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Martinez, California. The Logistics segment includes the operations of PBF Logistics LP ("PBFX"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Energy and PBF LLC, which owns or leases, operates, develops and acquires crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX's assets primarily consist of rail and truck terminals and unloading racks, storage facilities and pipelines, a substantial portion of which were acquired from or contributed by PBF LLC and are located at, or nearby, our 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 revenue and intersegment related-party revenues are eliminated in consolidation. From a PBF Energy perspective, our chief operating decision maker evaluates the Logistics segment as a whole without regard to any of PBFX's individual operating segments. | ||||||||||||||
(9) As reported by Platts, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies. Effective RIN basket price is recalculated based on information as reported by Argus. | ||||||||||||||
(10) Gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel of throughput are Non-GAAP measures because they exclude refinery operating expenses, depreciation and amortization and gross margin of PBFX. Gross refining margin per barrel is gross refining margin, divided by total crude and feedstocks throughput. We believe they are important measures of operating performance and provide useful information to investors because gross refining margin per barrel is a helpful metric comparison to the industry refining margin benchmarks shown in the Market Indicators Tables, as the industry benchmarks do not include a charge for refinery operating expenses and depreciation. Other companies in our industry may not calculate gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel in the same manner. Gross refining margin and gross refining margin per barrel of throughput have their limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. | ||||||||||||||
(11) Represents refinery operating expenses, including corporate-owned logistics assets, excluding depreciation and amortization, divided by total crude oil and feedstocks throughput. | ||||||||||||||
(12) We define heavy crude oil as crude oil with American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity less than 24 degrees. We define medium crude oil as crude oil with API gravity between 24 and 35 degrees. We define light crude oil as crude oil with API gravity higher than 35 degrees. | ||||||||||||||
(13) 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. 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. | ||||||
