About this update from Pbf Energy Inc.

PARSIPPANY, N.J. , May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PBF Energy Inc. (NYSE:PBF) today reported first quarter 2025 loss from operations of $511.2 million as compared to income from operations of $145.1 million for the first quarter of 2024. Excluding special items, first quarter 2025 loss from operations was $441.8 million as compared to income from operations of $143.9 million for the first quarter of 2024. The company reported first quarter 2025 net loss of $405.9 million and net loss attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $401.8 million or $(3.53) per share. This compares to net income of $107.5 million and net income attributable to PBF Energy Inc. of $106.6 million or $0.86 per share for the first quarter 2024. Non-cash special items included in the first quarter 2025 results, which decreased net income by a net, after-tax charge of $51.3 million , or $0.44 per share, primarily consisted of expenses associated with the February 1, 2025 fire at the Martinez refinery which were partially offset by our share of the St. Bernard Renewables LLC ("SBR") lower-of-cost-or-market ("LCM") inventory adjustment. Adjusted fully-converted net loss for the first quarter 2025, excluding special items, was $353.6 million , or $(3.09) per share on a fully-exchanged, fully-diluted basis, as described below, compared to adjusted fully-converted net income of $106.4 million or $0.85 per share, for the first quarter 2024. Matt Lucey , PBF's President and CEO, said, "Policy volatility, macroeconomic uncertainty, the Martinez incident and planned maintenance within PBF's refining system created a very challenging first quarter environment.  On February 1, 2025 , during preparations for a turnaround, a fire occurred at the Martinez refinery which caused significant damage and resulted in extended downtime. Since the event, we have restored partial operations and are working to restore full operations. We expect that PBF's insurance program will largely reimburse the company, subject to our deductible and retentions, for the capital costs to restore the Martinez refinery to full operations." Mr. Lucey continued, "The near-term volatility in our cyclical, commodity-dependent business does not reflect our broader, favorable, outlook that global supply and demand balances remain tight." Mr. Lucey concluded, "Our ability to navigate the turbulent markets is predicated on prudent, conservative management of our balance sheet. We cannot control policy or market conditions, however we can improve our situation by focusing on the items we can control. We are implementing our refining business improvement initiative, we will continue to invest in and improve our assets, and we remain committed to safe, reliable and responsible operations." PBF Energy Inc. Declares Dividend The company announced today that it will pay a quarterly dividend of $0.275 per share of Class A common stock on May 29, 2025 , to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 15, 2025 . Martinez Refinery Update  Subsequent to the February 1, 2025 fire at the Martinez refinery, limited operations were restored in April. Total throughput during the period of limited operations is expected in the range of 85,000 to 105,000 barrels per day, and the refinery began producing limited quantities of gasoline, jet fuel, and intermediates. The refinery is expected to run in the current configuration until full operations can be restored. Restart of the remaining units, which primarily include the units scheduled for turnaround, is planned to occur during the fourth quarter of 2025. Restart of these units is dependent on factors impacting our ability to effect necessary repairs, including those outside of our control such as regulatory permitting and approvals and the availability of certain critical equipment and components. The company expects the cost of repairs to the fire damaged units and restoring the refinery to full operational status will largely be covered by property insurance, subject to our deductible and retentions totaling $30.0 million . The company also has business interruption insurance that contains a 60-day waiting period. This coverage commenced on April 3, 2025 . The insurance claims process is ongoing and is not expected to be fully closed until after full operations have been restored. In April 2025 , PBF received notice that its insurers agreed to pay an unallocated first installment of insurance proceeds of $280 million , $250 million net to PBF after deductibles and retention. The company expects to be able to negotiate future interim payments on a quarterly basis. The timing and amount of any agreed future interim payments will be dependent on actual, covered expenditures and calculated losses. Sale of Terminal Assets On April 30, 2025 , the Company, through a subsidiary of PBF Logistics LP, entered into an agreement to sell two of its refined product terminal facilities located in Philadelphia, PA and Knoxville, TN for $175 million . The combined assets include 38 storage tanks with approximately 1.9 million barrels of storage capacity, and associated truck racks. The agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and certain regulatory approvals. PBF Guidance Update and Outlook PBF remains committed to the safety and reliability of our operations. We strive to maintain the quality of our balance sheet and preserve the ability of our operations to continue supporting our long-term strategic goal of increasing the value of our company. At quarter-end, we had approximately $469 million of cash and approximately $2.2 billion of total debt. Earlier in 2025, we announced PBF's Refining Business Improvement (RBI) initiative as part of our ongoing strategic process to extract incremental value across our business. We expect to generate greater than $200 million of annualized, run-rate sustainable cost savings by year-end 2025. Since then, we have generated over 500 cost savings ideas through more than 40 idea generation sessions. Our teams are building out these ideas with actionable, quantifiable and measurable plans. Initially, we are focused on five main areas, including projects and turnarounds, strategic procurement opportunities, the East Coast refining system, the Torrance Refinery and the refining organizational structure. As a result of an ongoing analysis of operations and market conditions, we now expect full-year capital expenditures in the $750 to $ 775 million range. This amount excludes the costs to restore the damage to the Martinez Refinery resulting from the February 2025 incident. We expect interest expense for the full-year 2025 to be in the $165 to $185 million range. Timing of planned maintenance and throughput ranges provided reflect current expectations and are subject to change based on market conditions and other factors. Current second quarter throughput expectations are included in the table below. Guidance provided constitutes forward-looking information and is based on current PBF Energy operating plans, company assumptions, and company configuration. Year-to-date actual throughput and quarterly guidance should be used to adjust full-year expectations. 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. St. Bernard Renewables SBR averaged approximately 10,000 barrels per day of renewable diesel production in the first quarter. During the first quarter, SBR operations reflected a catalyst change beginning in March and completed in April. Renewable diesel production for the second quarter is expected to average approximately 12,000 to 14,000 barrels per day. 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.
