WARREN, Pa., July 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- United Refining Company (United), a leading regional refiner and marketer of petroleum products today announced results for the third fiscal quarter and nine month period ended May 31, 2011.

United announced record third quarter sales of $808.1 million which resulted in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA calculated on a FIFO basis before the LIFO inventory adjustment) ("Adjusted EBITDA") of $73.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2011.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended May 31, 2011 and 2010 were $73.6 million and $(5.3) million respectively.  This was an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $78.9 million from the prior year quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 and 2010 was $105.3 million and $(22.2) million respectively, an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $127.5 million from the prior year nine month period.  The increase for the quarter and nine months was primarily attributed to robust refining crackspreads.

After recording a $40.9 million LIFO inventory adjustment for the quarter, EBITDA was $32.7 million and $(6.8) for the quarters ended May 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively, an increase for quarter on quarter of $39.5 million.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively,  EBITDA was $49.8 million and $(53.8) million, an improvement of $103.6 million.

Net sales for the three months ended May 31, 2011 were $808.1 million compared to $705.3 million for the prior year quarter.  This was an increase of $102.8 million or 14.6% from the prior year quarter.  Net sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 and 2010 were $2,119.5 million and $1,921.0 million, respectively, which was an increase of $198.5 million or 10.3% from the prior year period.  Net income attributed to United Refining Company's stockholder for the three months ended May 31, 2011 was $9.1 million as compared to a net loss of $16.9 million for the three months ended May 31, 2010; which was an increase in net income of $26.0 million from the prior year quarter.  Net income attributed to United Refining Company's stockholder for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 was $1.3 million versus a net loss of $61.5 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2010, an increase of $62.8 million in net income from the prior nine month period.

United Refining Company (http://www.urc.com) uses the term EBITDA or earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.  EBITDA is a term not defined under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  The Company uses the term EBITDA because it is a widely accepted financial indicator utilized to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance and is used to calculate certain debt coverage ratios included in several of the Company's debt agreements.  See reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income in table set forth below.  The Company's method of computation of EBITDA may or may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
