PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

DEFINITIONS

Within this report, the following terms have these specific meanings:

Alkylation” means the reaction of propylene or butylene (olefins) with isobutane to form an iso-paraffinic gasoline (inverse of cracking).

Aromatic oil” is long chain oil that is highly aromatic in nature thatand is used to manufacture tires and industrial rubber products and in the production of specialty asphalt.

BPD” means the number of barrels per calendar day of crude oil or petroleum products.

BPSD” means the number of barrels per stream day (barrels of capacity in a 24 hour period) of crude oil or petroleum products.

“Biodiesel” means a clean alternative fuel produced from renewable biological resources.

Black wax crude oil” is a low sulfur, low gravity crude oil produced in the Uintah Basin in Eastern Utah that has certain characteristics that require specific facilities to transport, store and refine into transportation fuels.

Catalytic reforming” means a refinery process which uses a precious metal (such as platinum) based catalyst to convert low octane naphtha to high octane gasoline blendstock and hydrogen. The hydrogen produced from the reforming process is used to desulfurize other refinery oils and is a primary source of hydrogen for the refinery.

Cracking” means the process of breaking down larger, heavier and more complex hydrocarbon molecules into simpler and lighter molecules.

Crude distillation” means the process of distilling vapor from liquid crudes, usually by heating, and condensing the vapor slightly above atmospheric pressure turning it back to liquid in order to purify, fractionate or form the desired products.

Ethanol” means a high octane gasoline blend stock that is used to make various grades of gasoline.

FCC,” or fluid catalytic cracking, means a refinery process that breaks down large complex hydrocarbon molecules into smaller more useful ones using a circulating bed of catalyst at relatively high temperatures.

Hydrodesulfurization” means to remove sulfur and nitrogen compounds from oil or gas in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst at relatively high temperatures.

Hydrogen plant” means a refinery unit that converts natural gas and steam to high purity hydrogen, which is then used in the hydrodesulfurization, hydrocracking and isomerization processes.

HF alkylation,” or hydrofluoric alkylation, means a refinery process which combines isobutane and C3/C4 olefins using HF acid as a catalyst to make high octane gasoline blend stock.

Isomerization” means a refinery process for rearranging the structure of C5/C6 molecules without changing their size or chemical composition and is used to improve the octane of C5/C6 gasoline blendstocks.

LPG” means liquid petroleum gases.

Lubricant” or “lube” means a solvent neutral paraffinic product used in passenger and commercial vehicleheavy duty engine oils, passenger car oils and specialty products for metal working orindustrial applications such as heat transfer, metalworking, rubber and other industrial applications.general process oil.

“MSAT2” means Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants from Mobile Sources, a rule issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reduce hazardous emissions from motor vehicles and motor vehicle fuels.

MMBTU” means one million British thermal units.

Natural gasoline” means a low octane gasoline blend stock that is purchased and used to blend with other high octane stocks produced to make various grades of gasoline.

Paraffinic oil” is a high paraffinic, high gravity oil produced by extracting aromatic oils and waxes from gas oil and is used in producing high-grade lubricating oils.

Refinery gross margin” means the difference between average net sales price and average product costs per produced barrel of refined products sold. This does not include the associated depreciation and amortization costs.

Reforming” means the process of converting gasoline type molecules into aromatic, higher octane gasoline blend stocks while producing hydrogen in the process.

Roofing flux” is produced from the bottom cut of crude oil and is the base oil used to make roofing shingles for the housing industry.

ROSE,” or “Solvent deasphalter / residuum oil supercritical extraction,” means a refinery unit that uses a light hydrocarbon like propane or butane to extract non-asphaltene heavy oils from asphalt or atmospheric reduced crude. These deasphalted oils are then further converted to gasoline and diesel in the FCC process. The remaining asphaltenes are either sold, blended to fuel oil or blended with other asphalt as a hardener.

Scanfiner” is a refinery unit that removes sulfur from gasoline to produce low sulfur gasoline blendstock.

Sour crude oil” means crude oil containing quantities of sulfur greater than 0.4 percent by weight, while “sweet crude oil” means crude oil containing quantities of sulfur equal to or less than 0.4 percent by weight.

Vacuum distillation” means the process of distilling vapor from liquid crudes, usually by heating, and condensing the vapor below atmospheric pressure turning it back to a liquid in order to purify, fractionate or form the desired products.

“WCS” means Western Canada Select crude oil and is made up of Canadian heavy conventional and bitumen crude oils blended with sweet synthetic and condensate diluents.

“WTI” means West Texas Intermediate and is a grade of crude oil used as a common benchmark in oil pricing. WTI is a sweet crude oil and has a relatively low density.

“WTS” means West Texas Sour, a medium sour crude oil.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


NOTE 1:Description of Business and Presentation of Financial Statements

References herein to HollyFrontier Corporation (“HollyFrontier”) include HollyFrontier and its consolidated subsidiaries. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) “Plain English” guidelines, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been written in the first person. In these financial statements, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer only to HollyFrontier and its consolidated subsidiaries or to HollyFrontier or an individual subsidiary and not to any other person, with certain exceptions. Generally, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” include Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”) and its subsidiaries as consolidated subsidiaries of HollyFrontier, unless when used in disclosures of transactions or obligations between HEP and HollyFrontier or its other subsidiaries. These financial statements contain certain disclosures of agreements that are specific to HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not necessarily represent obligations of HollyFrontier. When used in descriptions of agreements and transactions, “HEP” refers to HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We are principally an independent petroleum refiner that produces high-value light products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, specialty lubricant products, and specialty and modified asphalt. We own and operate petroleum refineries that serve markets throughout the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, we:

owned and operated a petroleum refinery in El Dorado, Kansas (the “El Dorado Refinery”), two refinery facilities located in Tulsa, Oklahoma (collectively, the “Tulsa Refineries”), a refinery in Artesia, New Mexico that is operated in conjunction with crude oil distillation and vacuum distillation and other facilities situated 65 miles away in Lovington, New Mexico (collectively, the “Navajo Refinery”), a refinery located in Cheyenne, Wyoming (the “Cheyenne Refinery”) and a refinery in Woods Cross, Utah (the “Woods Cross Refinery”);
owned and operated NK Asphalt Partners (“NK Asphalt”) which operates various asphalt terminals in Arizona and New Mexico;
owned Ethanol Management Company (“EMC”), a products terminal and blending facility near Denver, Colorado and a 50% interest in Sabine Biofuels II, LLC (“Sabine Biofuels”), a biodiesel production facility located in Port Arthur, Texas; and
owned a 39% interest in HEP, a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”), which includes our 2% general partner interest. HEP owns and operates logistic assets consisting of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that principally support our refining and marketing operations in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States and Alon USA, Inc.'s (“Alon”) refinery in Big Spring, Texas. Additionally, HEP owns a 75% interest in UNEV Pipeline, LLC (“UNEV”), which owns a 12-inch refined products pipeline from Salt Lake City, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada, together with terminal facilities in the Cedar City, Utah and North Las Vegas areas (the “UNEV Pipeline”), and a 25% interest in SLC Pipeline LLC (the “SLC Pipeline”), a 95-mile intrastate pipeline system that serves refineries in the Salt Lake City area.

We have prepared these consolidated financial statements without audit. In management’s opinion, these consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position as of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012 and consolidated cash flows for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012 in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Although certain notes and other information required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, we believe that the disclosures in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 that has been filed with the SEC.

Our results of operations for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be realized for the year ending December 31, 2013.

Balance Sheet Offsetting:Offsetting: We purchase and sell inventories of crude oil with certain same-parties that are net settled in accordance with contractual net settlement provisions. Our policy is to present such balances on a net basis because it more appropriately presents our economic resources (accounts receivable) and claims against us (accounts payable) and the future cash flows associated with such assets and liabilities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Accounts Receivable: Our accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers that are primarily companies in the petroleum industry. Credit is extended based on our evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and in certain circumstances collateral, such as letters of credit or guarantees, is required. We reserve for doubtful accounts based on our historical loss experience as well as specific accounts identified as high risk, which historically have been minimal. Credit losses are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts when an account is deemed uncollectible. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.5 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Inventories: We use the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of valuing inventory. Under the LIFO method, an actual valuation of inventory can only be made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, there have been no impairments to goodwill.


NOTE 2:Variable Interest Entities

Holly Energy Partners

HEP, a consolidated VIE, is a publicly held master limited partnership that was formed to acquire, own and operate the petroleum product and crude oil pipeline and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that support our refining and marketing operations in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. HEP also owns and operates refined product pipelines and terminals, located primarily in Texas, that serve Alon's refinery in Big Spring, Texas.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, we owned a 39% interest in HEP, including the 2% general partner interest. We are the primary beneficiary of HEP's earnings and cash flows and therefore we consolidate HEP. See Note 16 for supplemental guarantor/non-guarantor financial information, including HEP balances included in these consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions with HEP are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

HEP has two primary customers (including us) and generates revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil though its pipelines, by charging fees for terminalling refined products and other hydrocarbons, and storing and providing other services at its storage tanks and terminals. Under our long-term transportation agreements with HEP (discussed further below), we accounted for 83%84% of HEP’s total revenues for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013. We do not provide financial or equity support through any liquidity arrangements and /or/ or debt guarantees to HEP.

HEP has outstanding debt under a senior secured revolving credit agreement and its senior notes. With the exception of the assets of HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and HEP’s general partner, HEP’s creditors have no recourse to our assets. Any recourse to HEP’s general partner would be limited to the extent of HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P.’s assets, which other than its investment in HEP are not significant. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries. See Note 9 for a description of HEP’s debt obligations.

HEP has risk associated with its operations. If a major customer of HEP were to terminate its contracts or fail to meet desired shipping or throughput levels for an extended period of time, revenue would be reduced and HEP could suffer substantial losses to the extent that a new customer is not found. In the event that HEP incurs a loss, our operating results will reflect HEP’s loss, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in HEP at that point in time.

Transportation Agreements
HEP serves our refineries under long-term pipeline and terminal, tankage and throughput agreements expiring from 2019 through 2026. Under these agreements, we pay HEP fees to transport, store and throughput volumes of refined product and crude oil on HEP's pipeline and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that result in minimum annual payments to HEP including UNEV (a consolidated subsidiary of HEP). Under these agreements, the agreed upon tariff rates are subject to annual tariff rate adjustments on July 1 at a rate based upon the percentage change in Producer Price Index (“PPI”) or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) index. As of July 1,September 30, 2013, these agreements result in minimum annualized payments to HEP of $225.5 million.

Since HEP is a consolidated VIE, our transactions with HEP including fees paid under our transportation agreements with HEP are eliminated and have no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

HEP Common Unit Offering
In March 2013, HEP closed on a public offering of 1,875,000 of its common units. Additionally, our wholly-owned subsidiary, HollyFrontier Holdings LLC, as a selling unitholder, closed on a public sale of 1,875,000 HEP common units held by it. HEP used net proceeds of $73.4 million to repay indebtedness incurred under its credit facility and for general partnership purposes. As a result of these transactions and resulting HEP ownership changes, we adjusted additional capital and equity attributable to HEP's noncontrolling interest holders to reallocate HEP's equity among its unitholders.

Sabine Biofuels

We have a 50% ownership interest in Sabine Biofuels, a biofuels production facility that is a VIE. We do not hold a controlling financial interest, nor are we its primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we account for our investment using the equity method of accounting which had a carrying amount of $10.010.3 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2013 and is classified as a noncurrent asset under “Intangibles and other” in our consolidated balance sheets. Also, we have extended a working capital facility to Sabine Biofuels having an outstanding balance of $17.915.2 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2013.

NOTE 3:Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt and derivative instruments. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value. HEP's outstanding credit agreement borrowings also approximate fair value as interest rates are reset frequently at current interest rates.

Fair value measurements are derived using inputs (assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk). GAAP categorizes inputs used in fair value measurements into three broad levels as follows:

(Level 1) Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
(Level 2) Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data.
(Level 3) Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes valuation techniques that involve significant unobservable inputs.

Level 1 Financial Instruments
Our NYMEX futures contracts are exchange traded and are measured and recorded at fair value using quoted market prices, a Level 1 input.

Level 2 Financial Instruments
Investments in marketable debt securities and derivative instruments consisting of commodity price swaps and HEP's interest rate swaps are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair values of the commodity price and interest rate swap contracts are based on the net present value of expected future cash flows related to both variable and fixed rate legs of the respective swap agreements. The measurements are computed using market-based observable inputs, quoted forward commodity prices with respect to our commodity price swaps and the forward London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) yield curve with respect to HEP's interest rate swaps. The fair value of the marketable debt securities and senior notes is based on values provided by a third-party, which were derived using market quotes for similar type instruments, a Level 2 input.

Level 3 Financial Instruments
We have commodity price swap contracts that relate to forecasted sales of diesel and forecasted purchases of WCS and WTS for which quoted forward market prices are not readily available. The forward rate used to value these price swaps is derived using a projected forward rate using quoted market rates for similar products, adjusted for regional pricing and grade differentials, a Level 3 input.

The following table presents the changes in fair value of the Level 3 assets and liabilities (all related to derivative instruments) for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012:

NOTE 4:Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders divided by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share assumes, when dilutive, the issuance of the net incremental shares from variable restricted and variable performance shares. The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations for net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders:

NOTE 5:Stock-Based Compensation

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, we have two principal share-based compensation plans (collectively, the “Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan”).

The compensation cost charged against income for these plans was $7.9 million and $7.3 million for both the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $15.322.6 million and $15.923.2 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our accounting policy for the recognition of compensation expense for awards with pro-rata vesting (substantially all of our awards) is to expense the costs ratably over the vesting periods.

Additionally, HEP maintains a share-based compensation plan for Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C.'s non-employee directors and certain executives and employees. Compensation cost attributable to HEP’s share-based compensation plan was $0.80.7 million and $0.70.5 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1.92.6 million and $1.62.1 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
Under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, we grant certain officers and other key employees restricted stock awards with awards generally vesting over a period of three years. Award recipients are generally entitled to all the rights of absolute ownership of the restricted shares from the date of grant (unless a recipient's tax election requires otherwise) including the right to vote the shares and to receive dividends. Upon vesting, restrictions on the restricted shares lapse at which time they convert to common shares. The vesting for certain key executives is contingent upon certain performance targets being realized. In addition, we grant non-employee directors restricted stock unit awards, which typically vest over a period of one year and are payable in stock. The fair value of each restricted stock and restricted stock unit award is measured based on the market price as of the date of grant and is amortized over the respective vesting period.

A summary of restricted stock and restricted stock unit activity and changes during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013 is presented below:
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units Grants Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($000) Grants Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($000)

 $31,645
Outstanding at September 30, 2013 (non-vested) 736,447
 $36.89
 $31,012

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013, 125,600 restricted stock and restricted stock units vested having a grant date fair value of $3.0 million. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, there was $11.88.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.11.0 years.

Performance Share Units
Under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, we grant certain officers and other key employees performance share units, which are payable in stock upon meeting certain criteria over the service period, and generally vest over a period of three years. Under the terms of our performance share unit grants, awards are subject to either a “financial performance” or “market performance” criteria, or both.

The fair value of performance share unit awards subject to financial performance criteria is computed using the grant date closing stock price of each respective award grant and will apply to the number of units ultimately awarded. The number of shares ultimately issued for each award will be based on our financial performance as compared to peer group companies over the performance period and can range from zero to 200%. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, estimated share payouts for outstanding non-vested performance share unit awards ranged from 110% to 170%.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited) Continued


For the performance share units subject to market performance criteria, performance is calculated as the total shareholder return achieved by HollyFrontier stockholders compared with the average shareholder return achieved by an equally-weighted peer group of independent refining companies over a three-year period. These share unit awards are valued using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which simulates future stock price movements using key inputs including grant date stock prices, expected stock price performance, expected rate of return and volatility. These units are payable in stock based on share price performance relative to the defined peer group and can range from zero to 200% of the initial target award.

A summary of performance share unit activity and changes during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013 is presented below:

Based on the weighted-average grant date fair value of $35.4035.41 per share, there was $22.218.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance share units as of JuneSeptember 30, 2013. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.41.2 years.


NOTE 6:Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments in Marketable Securities

Our investment portfolio at JuneSeptember 30, 2013 consisted of cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable debt securities.

We invest in highly-rated marketable debt securities that have maturities at the date of purchase of greater than three months. We also invest in other marketable debt securities with the maximum maturity or put date of any individual issue generally not greater than two years from the date of purchase, which are usually held until maturity. All of these instruments are classified as available-for-sale. As a result, they are reported at fair value using quoted market prices. Interest income is recorded as earned. Unrealized gains and losses, net of related income taxes, are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Upon sale or maturity, realized gains on our marketable debt securities are recognized as interest income. These gains are computed based on the specific identification of the underlying cost of the securities, net of unrealized gains and losses previously reported in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale securities are due to changes in market prices and are considered temporary.

The following is a summary of our available-for-sale securities:

HEP’s obligations under the HEP Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of HEP’s assets (presented parenthetically in our consolidated balance sheets). Indebtedness under the HEP Credit Agreement involves recourse to HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., its general partner, and is guaranteed by HEP’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. Any recourse to the general partner would be limited to the extent of HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P.’s assets, which other than its investment in HEP are not significant. HEP’s creditors have no other recourse to our assets. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

HollyFrontier Senior Notes
Our 6.875% senior notes ($150 million principal amount maturing November 2018) (the “HollyFrontier Senior Notes”) are unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, incur liens, enter into sale-and-leaseback transactions, pay dividends, enter into mergers, sell assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Additionally, we have certain redemption rights under the HollyFrontier Senior Notes.

At any time, whenfollowing notice to the trustee, that the HollyFrontier Senior Notes are rated investment grade by both Moody’sMoody's and Standard & Poor’sPoor's and no default or event of default exists, we willare not be subject to many of the foregoing covenants. Additionally,covenants (a "Covenant Suspension"). As of September 30, 2013, the HollyFrontier Senior Notes were rated investment grade (BBB-) by Standard & Poor's. In October 2013, Moody's also upgraded the HollyFrontier Senior Notes to investment grade (Baa3). As a result, we have certain redemption rightsare under the Covenant Suspension pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the HollyFrontier Senior Notes.

In June 2013, we redeemed our $286.8 million aggregate principal amount of 9.875% senior notes maturing June 2017 at a redemption cost of $301.0 million, at which time we recognized a $22.1$22.1 million early extinguishment loss consisting of a $14.2 million debt redemption premium and an unamortized discount of $7.9 million.

HollyFrontier Financing Obligation
We have a financing obligation that relates to a sale and lease-back of certain crude oil tankage that we sold to an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.

NOTE 10: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Commodity Price Risk Management

Our primary market risk is commodity price risk. We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in crude oil and refined products, as well as volatility in the price of natural gas used in our refining operations. We periodically enter into derivative contracts in the form of commodity price swaps and futures contracts to mitigate price exposure with respect to:
our inventory positions;
natural gas purchases;
costs of crude oil and related grade differentials;
prices of refined products; and
our refining margins.

Accounting Hedges
We have swap contracts serving as cash flow hedges against price risk on forecasted purchases of natural gas and WTI crude oil and forecasted sales of ultra-low sulfur diesel. These contracts have been designated as accounting hedges and are measured quarterly at fair value with offsetting adjustments (gains/losses) recorded directly to other comprehensive income. These fair value adjustments are later reclassified to earnings as the hedging instruments mature. Also on a quarterly basis, hedge ineffectiveness is measured by comparing the change in fair value of the swap contracts against the expected future cash inflows/outflows on the respective transaction being hedged. Any hedge ineffectiveness is also recognized in earnings.

In the first quarter of 2013, we dedesignated certain commodity price swaps (long positions) that previously received hedge accounting treatment. These contracts now serve as economic hedges against price risk on forecasted natural gas purchases totaling 43,200,00040,800,000 MMBTU's to be purchased ratably through 2017. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, we have an unrealized loss of $4.94.6 million classified as OCIAOCI that relates to the application of hedge accounting prior to dedesignation that will be amortized as a charge to operating expenses as the contracts mature.

Economic Hedges
We also have swap contracts that serve as economic hedges (derivatives used for risk management, but not designated as accounting hedges) to fix our purchase price on forecasted natural gas and crude oil and other feedstock purchases, and to lock in the spread between WCS and WTI crude oil and between WTS and WTI crude oil on forecasted purchases of WCS and WTS. Also, we have NYMEX futures contracts to lock in prices on purchases of inventory. These contracts are measured quarterly at fair value with offsetting adjustments (gains/losses) recorded directly to income.

The following table presents the pre-tax effect on income due to maturities and fair value adjustments of our economic hedges:

Interest Rate Risk Management

HEP uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, HEP had three interest rate swap contracts that hedge its exposure to the cash flow risk caused by the effects of LIBOR changes on $305.0 million in credit agreement advances. The first interest rate swap effectively converts $155.0 million of LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 0.99% plus an applicable margin of 2.50%2.25% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, which equaled an effective interest rate of 3.49%3.24%. This swap matures in February 2016. HEP has two additional interest rate swaps with identical terms which effectively convert $150.0 million of LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 0.74% plus an applicable margin of 2.50%2.25% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, which equaled an effective interest rate of 3.24%2.99%. Both of these swap contracts mature in July 2017. All of these swap contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. To date, there has been no ineffectiveness on these cash flow hedges.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2013, we had a pre-tax net unrealized gain of $15.720.5 million classified in accumulated other comprehensive income that relates to all accounting hedges having contractual maturities through 2017. Assuming commodity prices and interest rates remain unchanged, an unrealized gain of $29.237.0 million will be effectively transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income into the statement of income as the hedging instruments contractually mature over the next twelve-month period.

NOTE 13:Retirement Plan

We previously sponsored a non-contributory defined benefit retirement plan that covered certain employees and was fully frozen prior to 2013. In 2012, our Compensation Committee, pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board of Directors, approved the termination of the HollyFrontier Corporation Pension Plan (the “Plan”). In June 2013, we made contributions of $22.7 million to the Plan.

Our contribution to the Plan in the second quarter of 2013 was sufficient for the Plan to settle its obligations to all participants including the premium paid to the non-participating annuity provider; however, the contract with this annuity provider was not executed as of JuneSeptember 30, 2013. Accordingly, inIn the second quarter of 2013, we recognized a pre-tax pension settlement charge of $30.9 million, of which $29.0 million was reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, representing the irrevocable portion. We expect toportion of our obligation. The Plan finalized the contract terms with the annuity provider in October 2013, and we will record an additional pre-tax charge of $8.6 million, which includes the remaining pension loss recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income when the Plan finalizes the contract terms with the annuity provider, which we expect to occur in the thirdfourth quarter of 2013.

In 2012, we established a program for plan participants whose benefits pursuant to the defined benefit plan were frozen. The program provides for payments after year-end for three years (beginning with 2012) provided the employee is employed by us on the last day of each year. The payments are based on each employee's years of service and eligible salary. Transition benefit costs associated with transition to the new defined contribution plan were $2.92.7 million and $3.53.2 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $5.88.5 million and $6.910.1 million, for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

NOTE 15:Segment Information

Our operations are organized into two reportable segments, Refining and HEP. Our operations that are not included in the Refining and HEP segments are included in Corporate and Other. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements and are included in Consolidations and Eliminations.

The Refining segment represents the operations of the El Dorado, Tulsa, Navajo, Cheyenne and Woods Cross Refineries and NK Asphalt (aggregated as a reportable segment). Refining activities involve the purchase and refining of crude oil and wholesale and branded marketing of refined products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel. These petroleum products are primarily marketed in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. Additionally, the Refining segment includes specialty lubricant products produced at our Tulsa Refineries that are marketed throughout North America and are distributed in Central and South America. NK Asphalt operates various asphalt terminals in Arizona and New Mexico.

The HEP segment includes all of the operations of HEP, a consolidated VIE, which owns and operates logistics assets consisting of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. The HEP segment also includes a 75% interest in UNEV (a consolidated subsidiary of HEP) and a 25% interest in the SLC Pipeline. Revenues from the HEP segment are earned through transactions with unaffiliated parties for pipeline transportation, rental and terminalling operations as well as revenues relating to pipeline transportation services provided for our refining operations. Our revaluation of HEP’s assets and liabilities at March 1, 2008 (date of reconsolidation) resulted in basis adjustments to our consolidated HEP balances. Therefore, our reported amounts for the HEP segment may not agree to amounts reported in HEP’s periodic public filings.

The accounting policies for our segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

NOTE 16:Supplemental Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information

Our obligations under the HollyFrontier Senior Notes have been jointly and severally guaranteed by the substantial majority of our existing and future restricted subsidiaries (“Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries”). These guarantees are full and unconditional. HEP, in which we have a 39% ownership interest at JuneSeptember 30, 2013, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Non-Guarantor Non-Restricted Subsidiaries”), and certain of our other subsidiaries (“Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries”) have not guaranteed these obligations.

The following condensed consolidating financial information is provided for HollyFrontier Corporation (the “Parent”), the Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries, the Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Non-Restricted Subsidiaries. The information has been presented as if the Parent accounted for its ownership in the Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries, and the Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries accounted for the ownership of the Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Non-Restricted Subsidiaries, using the equity method of accounting. The Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries are collectively the “Restricted Subsidiaries.”

HEP acquired our 75% interest in UNEV in July 2012. As a result, we have recast our HEP segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 to include the UNEV Pipeline operations as a consolidated subsidiary of HEP. UNEV was previously presented as a Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Item 2 contains “forward-looking” statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. References herein to HollyFrontier Corporation (“HollyFrontier”) include HollyFrontier and its consolidated subsidiaries. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) “Plain English” guidelines, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been written in the first person. In this document, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer only to HollyFrontier and its consolidated subsidiaries or to HollyFrontier or an individual subsidiary and not to any other person, with certain exceptions. Generally, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” include Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”) and its subsidiaries as consolidated subsidiaries of HollyFrontier, unless when used in disclosures of transactions or obligations between HEP and HollyFrontier or its other subsidiaries. This document contains certain disclosures of agreements that are specific to HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not necessarily represent obligations of HollyFrontier. When used in descriptions of agreements and transactions, “HEP” refers to HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries.


OVERVIEW

We are principally an independent petroleum refiner that produces high-value refined products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, specialty lubricant products, and specialty and modified asphalt. We own and operate refineries having a combined crude oil processing capacity of 443,000 barrels per day that serve markets throughout the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. Our refineries are located in El Dorado, Kansas (the “El Dorado Refinery”), Tulsa, Oklahoma (the, “Tulsa Refineries”), which comprise two production facilities, the Tulsa West and East facilities, a petroleum refinery in Artesia, New Mexico, which operates in conjunction with crude, vacuum distillation and other facilities situated 65 miles away in Lovington, New Mexico (collectively, the “Navajo Refinery”), Cheyenne, Wyoming (the, “Cheyenne Refinery”) and Woods Cross, Utah (the “Woods Cross Refinery”).

For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013, net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders was $257.082.3 million compared to $493.5600.4 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013, net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders was $590.7672.9 million compared to $735.21,335.6 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012.

Overall gross refining margins per produced product sold decreased 26%65% and 3%30% over the respective three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 due principally to significant contraction in WTI to Brent crude differentials as well as lower discounts on heavy sour crudes purchased during the second quarterand third quarters of 2013.

DuringNet income for the current yearnine months ended September 30, 2013, reflect second quarter we recognized pension settlement and debt extinguishment charges of $30.9 million and $22.1 million, respectively, and a realized business interruption insurance recovery of $10.6 million resulting in a net combined after-tax charge of $25.9 million to net income. Also affecting current year net income were the effects of a planned turnaroundturnarounds at our El Dorado, Tulsa Refineryand Navajo Refineries as well as approximately 10 days of unplanned downtime incurred at each of our El Dorado and Cheyenne Refineries as a result ofdue to FCC unit issues also during the second quarter of 2013. We incurred additional downtime in the first quarter of 2013 due to planned turnaround and maintenance projects at our El Dorado and Navajo Refineries.


OUTLOOK

Our profitability is affected by the spread, or differential, between the market prices for crude oil on the world market (which is based on the price for Brent Sea Crude) and the price for inland U.S. crude oil (which is based on the price for WTI). This differential constantly changes and at times can be volatile. While we have generally experienced wide differentials (with Brent prices in excess of WTI prices) in recent years, which have significantly enhanced our profitability, at the end of the secondthird quarter of 2013, the differential between Brent and WTI narrowed - averaging approximately halfone-third of the differential experienced during the first quarterearly part of 2013. Differentials are likely to continue to be volatile in the near term. However, we expect the Brent to WTI differential to reemerge upon completion of additional northern tier pipeline capacity into Cushing, Oklahoma, which we believe will overwhelm Gulf Coast processing capacity withcreate a surplus of light sweet crude oil flows.on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Ultimately, we believe pipeline tariffs from Cushing to the Gulf Coast plus marine transportation costs to transport product from the Gulf Coast to alternative markets will set the inland - coastal differential.

Table of Content

Pursuant to the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") promulgated the Renewable Fuel Standard 2 (“RFS2”) regulations reflecting the increased volume of renewable fuels mandated to be blended into the nation's fuel supply. The regulations, in part, require refiners to add annually increasing amounts of “renewable fuels” to their petroleum products or purchase credits, known as renewable identification numbers (“RINs”), in lieu of such blending. As of JuneSeptember 2013, we are purchasing RINs in order to meet approximately half of our renewable fuel requirements. Recently, due in part to the nation's fuel supply approaching the “blend wall” (the 10% ethanol limit prescribed by most automobile warranties), the price of RINs has been extremely volatile with the price dramatically increasing due to real or perceived future shortages in recognition of the decrease in RINs availability.RINs. As a result, we expect to continue to experience increasinghigher than historical costs to comply with the renewable fuel mandate. In the wholesale markets we serve, we are seeing price adjustments to indicate that the cost of RINs is being largely paidborne by the consumer at the pump. However, we continue to use various approaches to mitigate our exposure to the increasing cost of RINs, which include additional renewable fuel blending, shifts in our refined product slate and changes in the way we conduct marketing operations. We cannot predict with certainty whether and to what extent we will be successful in mitigating our exposure to increased RINs costs, and anticipate that increased compliance costs may negatively impact our future results of operations.

A more detailed discussion of our financial and operating results for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012 is presented in the following sections.

(1)Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as “EBITDA”, is calculated as net income plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation provided for under GAAP; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants. EBITDA presented above is reconciled to net income under “Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” following Item 3 of Part I of this Form 10-Q.

Our operations are organized into two reportable segments, Refining and HEP. See Note 15 “Segment Information” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our reportable segments.

Refining Operating Data (Unaudited)

The following tables set forth information, including non-GAAP performance measures, about our refinery operations. The cost of products and refinery gross margin do not include the effect of depreciation and amortization. Reconciliations to amounts reported under GAAP are provided under “Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” following Item 3 of Part I of this Form 10-Q.

Liquidity
We believe our current cash and cash equivalents, along with future internally generated cash flow and funds available under our credit facilities will provide sufficient resources to fund currently planned capital projects and our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. In addition, components of our growth strategy include construction of new refinery processing units and the expansion of existing units at our facilities and selective acquisition of complementary assets for our refining operations intended to increase earnings and cash flow.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, our cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities totaled $2.0 billion. We consider all highly-liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. These primarily consist of investments in conservative, highly-rated instruments issued by financial institutions, government and corporate entities with strong credit standings and money market funds.

We have a Board approved stock repurchase program that authorizes us to repurchase common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of stock repurchases will depend on market conditions, corporate, regulatory and other relevant considerations. This program may be discontinued at any time by the Board of Directors. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $356.4331.5 million under this stock repurchase program.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $408.3463.2 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013. Net cash used for investing and financing activities of $181.1332.1 million and $678.7933.3 million, respectively, exceeded net cash provided by operating activities of $451.5802.2 million. Working capital decreased by $247.4299.6 million during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2013.

Planned Capital Expenditures

HollyFrontier Corporation
Each year our Board of Directors approves our annual capital budget which includes specific projects that our management is authorized to undertake. Additionally, when conditions warrant or as new opportunities arise, additional projects may be approved. The funds appropriated for a particular capital project may be expended over a period of several years, depending on the time required to complete the project. Therefore, our planned capital expenditures for a given year consist of expenditures appropriated in that year’s capital budget plus expenditures for projects appropriated in prior years which have not yet been completed. Our appropriated capital budget for 2013 is $320.0 million including both sustaining capital and major capital projects. We expect to spend approximately $400.0 million to $450.0 million in cash for capital projects appropriated in 2013 and prior years. This spending is comprised of $130.0 million to $146.0 million at the Woods Cross Refinery, $116.0 million to $130.0 million at the Tulsa Refineries, $56.0 million to $65.0 million at the El Dorado Refinery, $58.0 million to $61.0 million at the Cheyenne Refinery, $28.0 million to $33.0 million at the Navajo Refinery and $12.0 million to $15.0 million for miscellaneous other projects. In addition, we expect to spend up to $200.0 million on refinery turnarounds and tank maintenance during 2013. This reflects an increase to our previous $156.0 million estimate due to turnaround discovery work.

A significant portion of our current capital spending is associated with compliance-oriented capital improvements. This spending is required due to existing consent decrees (for projects including FCC unit flue gas scrubbers and tail gas treatment units), federal fuels regulations (particularly, MSAT2 which mandates a reduction in the benzene content of blended gasoline), refinery waste water treatment improvements and other similar initiatives. Our refinery operations and related emissions are highly regulated at both federal and state levels, and we invest in our facilities as needed to remain in compliance with these standards. Additionally, when faced with new emissions or fuels standards, we seek to execute projects that facilitate compliance and also improve the operating costs and/and / or yields of associated refining processes.

El Dorado Refinery
Newly appropriated capital projects at the El Dorado Refinery include naphtha fractionation, an additional hydrogen plant and a Low-Nox addition to the FCC unit flue gas scrubber. Continuing project work willis planned to include coke drum pressure reduction designed to improve liquid yields and a new tail gas treatment unit to reduce air emissions in compliance with the El Dorado Refinery's existing EPA consent decree.

Tulsa Refineries
New 2013 appropriations for the Tulsa Refineries include a gasoline-blending system and numerous infrastructure upgrades. We will continue spending on the conversion of our propane de-asphalt unit to ROSE technology and on our sulfur recovery project related to the refinery fuel gas system. The sulfur recovery project is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2013complete and, in addition to facilitating compliance with our EPA consent decree, is anticipated to also allow us to increase use of lower priced sour / heavy crude in Tulsa. Spending on maintenance capital items and general improvements continues at an elevated level at the Tulsa Refineries due to perceived opportunities.

Navajo Refinery
The Navajo Refinery capital spending in 2013 will be principally on previously approved capital appropriations as well as maintenance capital spending. Included among previously approved capital projects is a $25.0 million upgrade to the Navajo Refinery's waste water treatment system.

Cheyenne Refinery
We plan to install a new hydrogen plant at the Cheyenne Refinery and have appropriated this capital project as part of our 2013 budget. The hydrogen plant, along with a previously approved naphtha fractionation project, is anticipated to allow us to reduce benzene content in Cheyenne gasoline production, while at the same time improving the refinery's overall liquid yields and light oils production. Previously appropriated projects still underway at Cheyenne include wastewater treatment plant improvements, a wet gas scrubber for the FCC unit to reduce air emissions, a redundant tail gas unit associated with sulfur recovery processes and additional investment in the waste water treatment plant to reduce selenium concentration in waste water.

Woods Cross Refinery
Newly appropriated capital for the Woods Cross Refinery consists of warehouse and office relocations to accommodate the refinery expansion and modernization program and a new rail loading rack for intermediates and finished products associated with refining waxy crude oil. Engineering is continuing on the previously announced $225.0 million expansion project. The project is now expected to cost $300.0 million. Long lead equipment has been ordered and we are finalizing the cost estimate before construction begins.detailed engineering is approximately 43% completed. The permit for the refinery expansion project is pending and the second public comment period has ended. We will commence construction once the permit is received, and we currently expect the project to be mechanically complete in approximately the firstsecond to secondthird quarter of 2015.

Regulatory compliance items or other presently existing or future environmental regulations / consent decrees could cause us to make additional capital investments beyond those described above and incur additional operating costs to meet applicable requirements.

HEP
Each year the Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C. board of directors approves HEP’s annual capital budget, which specifies capital projects that HEP management is authorized to undertake. Additionally, at times when conditions warrant or as new opportunities arise, special projects may be approved. The funds allocated for a particular capital project may be expended over a period of several years, depending on the time required to complete the project. Therefore, HEP’s planned capital expenditures for a given year consist of expenditures approved for capital projects included in its current year capital budget as well as, in certain cases, expenditures approved for capital projects in capital budgets for prior years. The 2013 HEP capital budget is comprised of $10.1 million for maintenance capital expenditures and $2.0 million for expansion capital expenditures.

HEP is proceeding with the expansion of its crude oil transportation system in southeastern New Mexico in response to increased crude oil production in the area. The expansion willshould provide shippers with additional pipeline takeaway capacity to either common carrier pipeline stations for transportation to major crude oil markets or to our New Mexico refining facilities. To complete the project, HEP willplans to convert an existing refined products pipeline to crude oil service, construct several new pipeline segments, expand an existing pipeline and build new truck unloading stations and crude storage capacity. Excluding the value of the existing pipeline to be converted, total capital expenditures are expected to cost between $35.0 million and $40.0 million. The project is expected to provide increased capacity of up to 100,000 BPD across HEP's system and anticipates it willis expected to be in full service no later than May 2014, though some segments may be completed and in service in late 2013.

UNEV is proceeding with a project to add certain enhancements to its product terminal in Las Vegas, Nevada. TheHEP expects that the project will cost approximately $13.0 million with construction scheduledexpected to be completed duringno later than the second quarter of 2014.

HEP is currently evaluating two proposed new pipelines. The first proposed pipeline would be a new 50-mile intrastate crude oil pipeline between Cushing, Oklahoma and our Tulsa refining facilities that would allow for a significant portion of crude oil transported to be heavy Canadian and sour crude oil. The second proposed pipeline would be a new 100-mile interstate petroleum products pipeline between our refinery in Cheyenne, Wyoming and Denver, Colorado. The project also will evaluate the construction of a new petroleum products terminal in North Denver or, alternatively, the routing of the new pipeline to existing third-party product terminals in the Denver area. HEP anticipates that it will be in a position to decide whether to proceed with these projects in the third quarter of 2013.

HEP and we are collaborating to evaluate the construction of a rail facility that will enable crude oil loading and unloading near our Artesia and / or Lovington, New Mexico refining facilities. The rail project, which will be connected to HEP's crude oil pipeline transportation system in southeastern New Mexico, will have an initial capacity of up to 70,000 BPD and will enable access to a variety of crude oil types including WTI, WTS and WCS. The project will provide both additional crude oil takeaway options for producers as crude production in the region continues to grow, and an expanded set of crude oil sourcing options for us. HEP anticipates that project completion would take nine to twelve months once a decision to proceed is made.

Cash Flows – Financing Activities

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are described in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain critical accounting policies that materially affect the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements include the assessment and consolidation of variable interest entities, the use of the LIFO method of valuing certain inventories, the amortization of deferred costs for regular major maintenance and repairs at our refineries, assessing the possible impairment of certain long-lived assets and goodwill, accounting for derivative instruments and assessing contingent liabilities for probable losses.

We use the LIFO method of valuing inventory. Under the LIFO method, an actual valuation of inventory can only be made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, there have been no impairments to goodwill.


RISK MANAGEMENT

We use certain strategies to reduce some commodity price and operational risks. We do not attempt to eliminate all market risk exposures when we believe that the exposure relating to such risk would not be significant to our future earnings, financial position, capital resources or liquidity or that the cost of eliminating the exposure would outweigh the benefit.

Commodity Price Risk Management
Our primary market risk is commodity price risk. We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in crude oil and refined products, as well as volatility in the price of natural gas used in our refining operations. We periodically enter into derivative contracts in the form of commodity price swaps and futures contracts to mitigate price exposure with respect to:
our inventory positions;
natural gas purchases;
costs of crude oil and related grade differentials;
prices of refined products; and
our refining margins.

Interest Rate Risk Management
HEP uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, HEP had three interest rate swap contracts that hedge its exposure to the cash flow risk caused by the effects of LIBOR changes on $305.0 million in credit agreement advances. The first interest rate swap effectively converts $155.0 million of LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 0.99% plus an applicable margin of 2.50%2.25% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, which equaled an effective interest rate of 3.49%3.24%. This swap matures in February 2016. HEP has two additional interest rate swaps with identical terms which effectively convert $150.0 million of LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 0.74% plus an applicable margin of 2.50%2.25% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2013, which equaled an effective interest rate of 3.24%2.99%. Both of these swap contracts mature in July 2017. These swap contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges.

The market risk inherent in our fixed-rate debt and positions is the potential change arising from increases or decreases in interest rates as discussed below.

For the fixed rate HollyFrontier Senior Notes and HEP Senior Notes, changes in interest rates will generally affect fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. The outstanding principal, estimated fair value and estimated change in fair value (assuming a hypothetical 10% change in the yield-to-maturity rates) for these debt instruments as of JuneSeptember 30, 2013 is presented below:

 $465,375
 $13,824

For the variable rate HEP Credit Agreement, changes in interest rates would affect cash flows, but not the fair value. At JuneSeptember 30, 2013, outstanding borrowings under the HEP Credit Agreement were $355.0365.0 million. By means of its cash flow hedges, HEP has effectively converted the variable rate on $305.0 million of outstanding principal to a weighted average fixed rate of 3.37%3.12%.

Table of Content

At JuneSeptember 30, 2013, our marketable securities included investments in investment grade, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase and hence the interest rate market risk implicit in these cash investments is low. Due to the short-term nature of our cash and cash equivalents, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio. Since we have the ability to liquidate this portfolio, we do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be materially affected by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates on our investment portfolio.

Our operations are subject to hazards of petroleum processing operations, including fire, explosion and weather-related perils. We maintain various insurance coverages, including business interruption insurance, subject to certain deductibles. We are not fully insured against certain risks because such risks are not fully insurable, coverage is unavailable, or premium costs, in our judgment, do not justify such expenditures.

Financial information is reviewed on the counterparties in order to review and monitor their financial stability and assess their ongoing ability to honor their commitments under the derivative contracts. We have not experienced, nor do we expect to experience, any difficulty in the counterparties honoring their commitments.

We have a risk management oversight committee consisting of members from our senior management. This committee oversees our risk enterprise program, monitors our risk environment and provides direction for activities to mitigate identified risks that may adversely affect the achievement of our goals.

Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

Reconciliations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation provided for under GAAP; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants.

Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA.

Reconciliations of refinery operating information (non-GAAP performance measures) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.

Refinery gross margin and net operating margin are non-GAAP performance measures that are used by our management and others to compare our refining performance to that of other companies in our industry. We believe these margin measures are helpful to investors in evaluating our refining performance on a relative and absolute basis.

Refinery gross margin per barrel is the difference between average net sales price and average cost of products per barrel of produced refined products. Net operating margin per barrel is the difference between refinery gross margin and refinery operating expenses per barrel of produced refined products. These two margins do not include the effect of depreciation and amortization. Each of these component performance measures can be reconciled directly to our consolidated statements of income.

Other companies in our industry may not calculate these performance measures in the same manner.

Refinery Gross and Net Operating Margins

Below are reconciliations to our consolidated statements of income for (i) net sales, cost of products and operating expenses, in each case averaged per produced barrel sold, and (ii) net operating margin and refinery gross margin. Due to rounding of reported numbers, some amounts may not calculate exactly.

(1)We purchase finished products when opportunities arise that provide a profit on the sale of such products, or to meet delivery commitments.
(2)We purchase crude oil that at times exceeds the supply needs of our refineries. Quantities in excess of our needs are sold at market prices to purchasers of crude oil that are recorded on a gross basis with the sales price recorded as revenues and the corresponding acquisition cost as inventory and then upon sale as cost of products sold. Additionally, at times we enter into buy/sell exchanges of crude oil with certain parties to facilitate the delivery of quantities to certain locations that are netted at carryover cost.
(3)Other refining segment revenue includes the incremental revenues associated with NK Asphalt and miscellaneous revenue.
(4)Other refining segment cost of products sold includes the incremental cost of products for NK Asphalt and miscellaneous costs.
(5)Other refining segment operating expenses include the marketing costs associated with our refining segment and the operating expenses of NK Asphalt.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of JuneSeptember 30, 2013.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.Legal Proceedings

Commitment and Contingency Reserves

We periodically establish reserves for certain legal proceedings. The establishment of a reserve involves an estimation process that includes the advice of legal counsel and subjective judgment of management. While management believes these reserves to be adequate, future changes in the facts and circumstances could result in the actual liability exceeding the estimated ranges of loss and amounts accrued.

While the outcome and impact on us cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of these proceedings through settlement or adverse judgment will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or cash flow. Operating results, however, could be significantly impacted in the reporting periods in which such matters are resolved.

Environmental Matters

We are reporting the following proceedings to comply with SEC regulations which require us to disclose proceedings arising under federal, state or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or protecting the environment if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions of $100,000 or more. Our respective subsidiaries have or will develop corrective action plans regarding these disclosures that will be implemented in consultation with the respective federal and state agencies. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, although none are currently expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position.

Frontier Refining LLC (“FR”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, has undertaken environmental audits at the Cheyenne Refinery regarding compliance with federal and state environmental requirements. By letters dated October 5, 2012, November 7, 2012, and January 10, 2013, and pursuant to EPA's audit policy to the extent applicable, FR submitted reports to the EPA voluntarily disclosing non-compliance with certain emission limitations, reporting requirements, and provisions of a 2009 federal consent decree. By letters dated October 31, 2012, February 6, 2013, June 21, 2013, July 9, 2013 and July 25, 2013, and pursuant to applicable Wyoming audit statutes, FR submitted environmental audit reports to the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (“WDEQ”) voluntarily disclosing non-compliance with certain notification, reporting, and other provisions of the refinery's state air permit and other environmental regulatory requirements. Additional self-disclosures and follow-up correspondence are anticipated as the audit activities are completed. No further action has been taken by either agency at this time. The Cheyenne Refinery also has four outstanding Notices of Violations issued in 2010, 2011 and 2013 that are subject to ongoing settlement negotiations with the WDEQ. Additional air, water and waste audits are ongoing or planned for the Cheyenne Refinery for 2013.

Between November 2010 and February 2012, certain of our subsidiaries submitted multiple reports to the EPA to voluntarily disclose non-compliance with fuels regulations at the Cheyenne, El Dorado, Navajo, Tulsa and Woods Cross refineries and at the Cedar City, Utah and Henderson, Colorado terminals. The EPA has requested additional information regarding certain of these reports, and our subsidiaries have complied with all requests received to date.

Other

We are a party to various other litigation and proceedings that we believe, based on advice of counsel, will not either individually or in the aggregate have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


Item 1A.Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part 1, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our 2012 Form 10-K and March 31, 2013 Form 10-Q, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
