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 and marketer that produces high-value light products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and other specialty lubricant products, and specialty and modified asphalt.products. We own and operate petroleum refineries that serve markets throughout the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. In addition, we ownproduce base oils and operate a lubricant production facilityother specialized lubricants in the United States, Canada and the Netherlands, with retail and wholesale marketing of itsour products through a global sales network with locations in Canada, the United States, Europe, China and China. Latin America.
As of September 30, 2017,2020, we:
•owned and operated a petroleum refinery in El Dorado, Kansas (the “El Dorado Refinery”), two2 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 anda facility in Cheyenne, Wyoming, which operated HollyFrontier Asphalt Company LLC (“HFC Asphalt”as a petroleum refinery until early August 2020 (the “Cheyenne Refinery”) which operates various asphalt terminals in Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma;;
•owned and operated Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc. (“PCLI”) located in Mississauga, Ontario, which produces base oils and other specialized lubricant products;
•owned and operated Sonneborn (as defined below) with manufacturing facilities in Petrolia, Pennsylvania and the Netherlands, which produce specialty lubricant products, such as white oils, petrolatums and waxes;
•owned and operated Red Giant Oil Company LLC (“Red Giant Oil”), which supplies locomotive engine oil and has storage and distribution facilities in Iowa, Kansas, Utah and Wyoming, along with a blending and packaging facility in Texas;
•owned and operated HollyFrontier Asphalt Company LLC (“HFC Asphalt”), which operates various asphalt terminals in Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma; and
•owned a 36%57% limited partner interest and a non-economic general partner interest in HEP, a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”),. HEP owns and operates logistic assets consisting of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines, terminals, tankage, loading rack facilities and refinery processing units that principally support our refining and marketing operations in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States.
In the third quarter of 2020, we permanently ceased petroleum refining operations at our Cheyenne Refinery and subsequently began converting certain assets at our Cheyenne Refinery to renewable diesel production. This decision was primarily based on a positive outlook in the market for renewable diesel and the expectation that future free cash flow generation at our Cheyenne Refinery would be challenged due to lower gross margins resulting from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and compressed crude differentials due to dislocations in the crude oil market. Additional factors included uncompetitive operating and maintenance costs forecasted for our Cheyenne Refinery and the anticipated loss of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) small refinery exemption.
During the second quarter of 2020, we recorded a long-lived asset impairment of $232.2 million related to our Cheyenne Refinery asset group. In connection with the cessation of petroleum refining operations at our Cheyenne Refinery, we recognized $12.3 million in decommissioning expense during the third quarter of 2020. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $2.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in employee severance costs related to the conversion of our Cheyenne Refinery to renewable diesel production. These decommissioning and severance costs were recognized in operating expenses and were reported in our Refining segment.
During the second quarter of 2020, we also initiated and completed a corporate restructuring. As a result of this restructuring, we recorded $3.7 million in employee severance costs, which includeswere recognized primarily as operating expenses in our 2%Refining segment and selling, general partner interest.
and administrative expenses in our Corporate and Other segment.
On October 29, 2016, our wholly-owned subsidiary, 9952110 Canada Inc.,November 12, 2018, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Suncor Energy Inc. (“Suncor”)an equity purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PCLI.Sonneborn US Holdings Inc. and 100% of the membership rights in Sonneborn Coöperatief U.A. (collectively, “Sonneborn”). The acquisition closed on February 1, 2017. See Note 22019. Aggregate consideration totaled $701.6 million and consisted of $662.7 million in cash paid at acquisition, net of cash acquired. Sonneborn is a producer of specialty hydrocarbon chemicals such as white oils, petrolatums and waxes with manufacturing facilities in the United States and Europe. This transaction was accounted for additional information.as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, with the purchase price allocated to the fair value of the acquired Sonneborn assets and liabilities as of the February 1, 2019 acquisition date, with the excess purchase price recorded as goodwill assigned to our Lubricants and Specialty Products segment. This goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Fair values are as follows: cash and cash equivalents $38.9 million, current assets $139.4 million, properties, plants and equipment $168.2 million, goodwill $282.3 million, intangibles and other noncurrent assets $231.5 million, current liabilities $47.9 million and deferred income tax and other long-term liabilities $110.8 million. We incurred $0.1 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $2.0 million and $20.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in incremental direct integration and regulatory costs that principally relate to legal, advisory and other professional fees and are presented as selling, general and administrative expenses.
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 September 30, 2017,2020, the consolidated results of operations, and comprehensive income and statements of equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 20162019 and consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 20162019 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, 20162019 that has been filed with the SEC.
Our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be realized for the year ending December 31, 2017.2020.
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.expected credit losses from current economic conditions and management’s expectations of future economic conditions. Credit losses are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts when an account is deemed uncollectible.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited) Continued
Inventories: Inventories related to our refining operations are stated at the lower of cost, using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for crude oil and unfinished and finished refined products, or market. In periods of rapidly declining prices, LIFO inventories may have to be written down to market value due to the higher costs assigned to LIFO layers in prior periods. In addition, the use of the LIFO inventory method may result in increases or decreases to cost of sales in years that inventory volumes decline as the result of charging cost of sales with LIFO inventory costs generated in prior periods. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is 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.
Inventories of our Petro-Canada Lubricants and Sonneborn businesses are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, or net realizable value.
Inventories consisting of process chemicals, materials and maintenance supplies and renewable identification numbers (“RINs”) are stated at the lower of weighted-average cost or net realizable value.
InventoriesLeases: At inception, we determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our payment obligation under the leasing arrangement. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to determine the present value of lease payments as most of our PCLI operationsleases do not contain an implicit rate. Our IBR represents the interest rate which we would pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term in a similar economic environment. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable.
Operating leases are stated atrecorded in operating lease right-of-use assets and current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are included in properties, plants and equipment and accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.
Our lease term includes an option to extend the lowerlease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of cost, using12 months or less are not recorded on our balance sheet. For certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach for the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, oroperating lease ROU assets and liabilities. Also, as a lessee, we separate non-lease components that are identifiable and exclude them from the determination of net realizable value.present value of lease payment obligations. In addition, HEP, as a lessor, does not separate the non-lease (service) component in contracts in which the lease component is the dominant component. HEP treats these combined components as an operating lease.
Goodwill and Long-lived Assets: As of September 30, 2017,2020, our goodwill balance was $2.2$2.4 billion, with goodwill assigned to our Refining, PCLILubricants and Specialty Products and HEP segments of $1.7 billion, $0.2 billion$1,733.5 million, $328.6 million and $0.3 billion,$312.9 million, respectively. During 2017, we recognized $185.2 million in goodwill as a result of our PCLI acquisition, all of which has been assigned to our PCLI segment. See Note 1615 for additional information on our segments. The carrying amount of our goodwill may fluctuate from period to period due to the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments on goodwill assigned to our Lubricants and Specialty Products segment. 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 an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Our goodwill impairment testing first entails either a comparisonquantitative assessment or an optional qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of oura reporting unit fair values relative to their respectiveis less than its carrying values.amount. If carrying value exceedswe determine that based on the qualitative factors that it is more likely than not that the fair value forof the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, a quantitative test is performed in which we estimate the fair value of the related reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of that reporting unit is impaired, and we measure goodwill impairment as the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill over the impliedrelated fair valuevalue.
For purposes of that goodwill based on estimates of the fair value of all assets and liabilities in the reporting unit. As of September 30, 2017,long-lived asset impairment evaluation, we have a cumulative goodwill impairment of $309.3 million, all of which relates to goodwill assigned togrouped our Cheyenne Refinery reporting unit that was fully impaired in the second quarter of 2016.
Additionally, the carrying amount of our goodwill may fluctuate from period to period due to the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments on goodwill assigned to our PCLI segment.
We performed our annual goodwill impairment testing as of July 1, 2017 and determined the fair value of our El Dorado reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. A reasonable expectation exists that further deterioration in gross margins could result in an impairment of goodwill and the long-lived assets of the El Dorado reporting unit at some point in the futureas follows: (i) our refinery asset groups, which include certain HEP logistics assets, (ii) our Lubricants and such impairment charges could be material. Additionally, testing indicated no impairment of goodwill attributable to our HEP or PCLI reporting units.
Our long-lived assets principally consist of our refining assets that are organized as refiningSpecialty Products asset groups and (iii) our PCLI business. TheHEP asset groups, which comprises HEP assets not included in our refinery asset groups. These asset groups also constitute our individual refinery reporting units that are usedrepresent the lowest level for testing and measuring goodwill impairments.which independent cash flows can be identified. Our long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment by identifying whether indicators of impairment exist and if so, assessing whether the long-lived assets are recoverable from estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The actual amount of impairment loss measured, if any, is equal to the amount by which the asset group’s carrying value exceeds its fair value.
Long-lived asset impairment testing
Due to the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, in the second quarter of 2020 we determined that indicators of potential long-lived asset impairments were present. As a result of our long-lived asset impairment testing, in the second quarter of 2016, we determined that the carrying value of the long-lived assets of theour Cheyenne Refinery had been impaired and PCLI asset groups were not recoverable, and thus recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $344.8 million.$232.2 million and $204.7 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2020. Our testing did not result in any other impairments of long-lived assets in the second quarter. There were 0 additional indicators of long-lived asset impairment present in the third quarter of 2020.
The estimated fair values of the Cheyenne Refinery and PCLI asset groups were determined using a combination of the income and cost approaches. The income approach was based on management’s best estimates of the expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset group. The cost approach utilized assumptions for the current replacement costs of similar assets adjusted for estimated depreciation and economic obsolescence. These fair value measurements involve significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). See Note 4 for further discussion of Level 3 inputs.
Goodwill impairment testing
Due to the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and a decrease in our market capitalization, we determined that indicators of potential goodwill impairment for our Refining and Lubricants and Specialty Products reporting units were present in the second quarter of 2020. As such, we performed an interim test for goodwill impairment as of May 31, 2020. Our interim goodwill impairment testing indicated that there was 0 impairment of goodwill at our Refining and Lubricants and Specialty Products reporting units as of May 31, 2020.
We performed our annual goodwill impairment testing quantitatively as of July 1, 2020 and determined there was 0 impairment of goodwill attributable to our reporting units. The excess of the fair values of the reporting units over their respective carrying values ranged from 10% to 229%.
The estimated fair values of our reporting units were derived using a combination of income and market approaches. The income approach reflects expected future cash flows based on estimated forecasted production levels, selling prices, gross margins, operating costs and capital expenditures. Our market approaches include both the guideline public company and guideline transaction methods. Both methods utilize pricing multiples derived from historical market transactions of other like-kind assets. These fair value measurements involve significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). See Note 4 for further discussion of Level 3 inputs.
During the second quarter of 2017,2019, we incurredrecorded a goodwill impairment charge of $152.7 million to fully impair the goodwill of the PCLI reporting unit included in our Lubricants and Specialty Products segment.
A reasonable expectation exists that further deterioration in our operating results or overall economic conditions could result in an impairment of goodwill and / or additional long-lived assetassets impairments at some point in the future. Future impairment charges totaling $23.2 million, including $19.2 millioncould be material to our results of construction-in-progress consisting primarily of engineering work for a planned expansion of our Woods Cross refinery to add lubricants production capabilities. During the second quarter of 2017, we concluded to no longer pursue this expansion for various reasons including our recent acquisition of PCLI.

Under these agreements, PCLI defers revenues and cost of revenues on sales to Canadian marketersare deferred until the related products have been sold to end customers,customers. Our lubricants and PCLIspecialty products business also has agreements that create an obligation to deliver products at a future date for which consideration has already been received and recorded as deferred revenue. This revenue is recognized when the products are delivered to the customer.
HEP recognizes revenues for sales to its U.S. distributors whenas products are shipped through its pipelines and terminals and as other services are rendered. Additionally, HEP has certain throughput agreements that specify minimum volume requirements, whereby HEP bills a customer for a minimum level of shipments in the event a customer ships below their contractual requirements. If there are no future performance obligations, HEP recognizes these deficiency payments as revenue. In certain of these throughput agreements, a customer may later utilize such shortfall billings as credit towards future volume shipments in excess of its minimum levels within its respective contractual shortfall make-up period. Such amounts represent an obligation to perform future services, which may be initially deferred and later recognized as revenue based on estimated future shipping levels, including the likelihood of a customer’s ability to utilize such amounts prior to the distributors, netend of allowances for returns relatedthe contractual shortfall make-up period. HEP recognizes the service portion of these deficiency payments as revenue when HEP does not expect it will be required to inventories PCLI is expected to repurchase fromsatisfy these performance obligations in the distributors to sell directly to end customers.future based on the pattern of rights exercised by the customer. Payment terms under our contracts with customers are consistent with industry norms and are typically payable within 30 days of the date of invoice.
Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of our PCLI operations consists of the respective local currency of its Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign operations, which includes the Canadian dollar, the euro and Chinese renminbi. Balance sheet accountscurrencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using the weighted-average exchange rates during the period presented. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
In connection with our PCLI acquisition, on February 1, 2017, we issued intercompany notes to initially fund certain of PCLI’sour foreign businesses. Remeasurement adjustments resulting from the conversion of such intercompany financing from localamounts to functional currencies to the U.S. dollar are recorded as gains and losses as a component of other income (expense) in the income statement. Such adjustments are not recorded to the PCLILubricants and Specialty Products segment operations, but to corporateCorporate and other.Other. See Note 1615 for additional information on our segments.
Income Taxes: Provisions for income taxes include deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences in income for financial and tax purposes, using the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method requires the effect of tax rate changes on deferred income taxes to be reflected in the period in which the rate change was enacted. The liability method also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance unless it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded an income tax expense of $173.6 million compared to $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was due principally to pre-tax income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a pre-tax loss in the same period of 2016. Our effective tax rates, before consideration of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest, were 34.9% and 2.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Potential interest and penalties related to income tax matters are recognized in income tax expense. We believe we have appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on our income tax returns and that our accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors, including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded an income tax benefit of $188.5 million compared to income tax expense of $279.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease was due principally to a pre-tax loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to pre-tax earnings in the same period of 2019. Our effective tax rates were 31.0% and 26.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate is due principally to the relationship between the pre-tax results and the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest that is not included in income for tax purposes.
Inventory Repurchase Obligations:We periodically enter into same-party sell / buy transactions, whereby we sell certain refined product inventory and subsequently repurchase the inventory in order to facilitate delivery to certain locations. Such sell / buy transactions are accounted for as inventory repurchase obligations under which proceeds received under the initial sell is recognized as an inventory repurchase obligation that is subsequently reversed when the inventory is repurchased. For the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, we received proceeds of $36.7$32.7 million and $43.9$13.2 million, respectively, and subsequently repaid $37.9$34.4 million and $44.9$12.5 million, respectively, under these sell / buy transactions.

As the general partner of HEP, we have the sole ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact HEP’s financial performance, and therefore as HEP's primary beneficiary, we consolidate HEP.
HEP has two2 primary customers (including us) and generates revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through its pipelines, by charging fees for terminalling refined products and other hydrocarbons, and by 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 85%80% of HEP’s total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2020.

HEP has outstanding debt under a senior secured revolving credit agreement and its senior notes. HEP’s creditors have no recourse to our assets. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries. See Note 109 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.

Cushing Connect and dueits two subsidiaries, Cushing Connect Pipeline and Cushing Connect Terminal, are each VIE’s because they do not have sufficient equity at risk to our continuing interest in the tanks, we accounted for the transaction as a financing arrangement. Accordingly, the tanks remained on our balance sheet and were depreciated for accounting purposes, and the proceeds received from Plains were recorded as a financing obligation and presented as a component of outstanding debt.
In accounting for HEP’s March 2016 purchase from Plains, the amount paid was recorded against our outstanding financing obligation balance of $30.8 million, with the excess $8.7 million payment resulting in a loss on early extinguishment of debt.
Magellan Asset Exchange
On February 22, 2016, we acquired a 50% membership interest in Osage Pipe Line Company, LLC (“Osage”) in exchange for a 20-year terminalling services agreement, whereby a subsidiary of Magellan Midstream Partners (“Magellan Midstream”) will provide terminalling services for all of our products originating in Artesia, New Mexico that require terminalling in or through El Paso, Texas. Under the agreement, we will be charged tariffs based on the volumes of refined product processed. Osagefinance their activities without additional financial support.

Therefore, HEP consolidates these two entities. HEP is not the Jayhawk pipeline that services the CHS refinery in McPherson, Kansas. This exchange was accounted for at fair value, whereby the 50% membership interest in the Osage Pipeline was recorded at appraised fair value and an offsetting residual deferred credit in the amountprimary beneficiary of $38.9 million was recorded, which will be amortized to cost of products sold over the 20-year service period. No gain or loss was recorded for this exchange.
Also on February 22, 2016, we contributed the 50% membership interest in Osage to HEP, and in exchange received HEP’s El Paso terminal. Pursuant to this exchange, HEP agreed to build two connections to Magellan Midstream’s El Paso terminal. In addition, HEP agreed to become operator of the Osage Pipeline. This exchange was accounted for at carry-over basis with no resulting gain or loss.

HEP Common Unit Continuous Offering Program
On May 10, 2016, HEP established a continuous offering program underCushing Connect Terminal, which HEP may issue and sell common units from time to time, representing limited partner interests, up to an aggregate gross sales amountaccounts for using the equity method of $200 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, HEP issued 1,538,452 units under this program, providing $52.3 million in net proceeds. In connection with this program and to maintain our 2% general partner interest in HEP, we made capital contributions totaling $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

HEP intends to use the net proceeds for general partnership purposes, which may include funding working capital, repayment of debt, acquisitions and capital expenditures. Amounts repaid under HEP’s credit facility may be reborrowed from time to time.
As a result of this transaction 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.
Incentive Distribution Rights Simplification Agreement
On October 31, 2017, HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., our wholly-owned subsidiary and general partner of HEP, closed the restructuring transaction set forth in a definitive agreement with HEP to cancel its incentive distribution rights and convert our 2% general partner interest in HEP into a non-economic interest in exchange for 37,250,000 newly issued HEP common units.

Transportation Agreements
HEP serves our refineries under long-term pipeline, terminal and tankage throughput agreements and refinery processing tolling agreements expiring from 20172021 through 2036. Under these agreements, we pay HEP fees to transport, store and process throughput volumes of refined products, crude oil and feedstocks on HEP’s pipeline, terminals, tankage, loading rack facilities and refinery processing units 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 or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission index. As of September 30, 2017,2020, these agreements result in minimum annualized payments to HEP of $321.3$351.1 million.
Our transactions with HEP and fees paid under our transportation agreements with HEP and UNEV are eliminated and have no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Lessor Accounting
Our consolidated statements of income reflect lease revenue recognized by HEP for contracts with third parties in which HEP is the lessor.
One of HEP’s throughput agreements with Delek US Holdings, Inc. (“Delek”) was renewed during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Certain components of this agreement met the criteria of sales-type leases since the underlying assets are not expected to have an alternative use at the end of the lease term to anyone other than Delek. Under sales-type lease accounting, at the commencement date, the lessor recognizes a net investment in the lease, based on the estimated fair value of the underlying leased assets at contract inception, and derecognizes the underlying assets with the difference recorded as selling profit or loss arising from the lease. Therefore, HEP recognized a gain on sales-type leases totaling $33.8 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2020. This sales-type lease transaction, including the related gain, was a non-cash transaction.

As of September 30, 2020, we have long-term contracts with customers that specify minimum volumes of gasoline, diesel, lubricants and specialty products to be sold ratably at market prices through 2025. Such volumes are typically nominated in the month preceding delivery and delivered ratably throughout the following month. Future prices are subject to market fluctuations and therefore, we have elected the exemption to exclude variable consideration under these contracts under Accounting Standards Codification 606-10-50-14A. Aggregate minimum volumes expected to be sold (future performance obligations) under our long-term product sales contracts with customers are as follows:

NOTE 4: | Fair Value Measurements |
NOTE 4:Fair Value Measurements
Our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of investments in marketable securities, derivative instruments and RINs credit obligations.
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 2 Instruments
Investments in marketable securities, derivativeDerivative instruments consisting of foreign currency forward contracts, commodity price swaps and forward sales and purchase contracts and HEP’s interest rate swaps are measured and recorded at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair valuesvalue of the commodity price and interest rate swap contracts areis 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,input and 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. RINs credit obligations are valued based on current market RINs prices. The fair value of the marketable securities isforeign currency forward contracts are based on values provided by a third-party,third party, which were derived using market quotes for similar type instruments, a Level 2 input.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized long-lived asset impairment charges based on fair value measurements utilized during our goodwill and long-lived asset impairment testing (see Note 1). The fair value measurements were based on a combination of valuation methods including discounted cash flows, the guideline public company and guideline transaction methods and obsolescence adjusted replacement costs, all of which are Level 3 Instrumentsinputs.
We at times have commodity price swap contracts that relate to forecasted sales of unleaded gasoline and forward commodity sales and purchase contracts for which quoted forward market prices are not readily available. The forward rate used to value these price swaps and forward sales and purchase contracts are derived using a projected forward rate using quoted market rates for similar products, adjusted for regional pricing and grade differentials, a Level 3 input.

NOTE 6:Stock-Based Compensation
As of September 30, 2017, we
We have twoa principal share-based compensation plans (collectively, the “Long-Termplan (the “2020 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan”).
, which allows us to grant new equity awards until February 12, 2030. We also have a long-term incentive compensation plan which expires pursuant to its terms on December 31, 2020 and will continue to govern outstanding equity awards granted thereunder; however, as of February 12, 2020, 0 new awards are being granted under this plan. The compensation cost charged against income for these plans was $9.1$6.9 million and $6.2$9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, respectively, and $24.5$19.8 million and $14.8$30.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, respectively. Our accounting policy for the recognition of compensation expense for awards with pro-rata vesting 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 $0.8$0.6 million and $0.7$0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, respectively, and $1.9$1.5 million and $1.8 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016.2019, respectively.

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 grant date market price of our common shares and is amortized over the respective vesting period. We account for forfeitures on an estimated basis.

Performance Share Units
Under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan,long-term incentive plan, we grant certain officers and other key employees performance share units, which are payable in stock or cash 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 “financial performance” and “market performance” criteria. Financial performance is based on our financial performance compared to a peer group of independent refining companies, while market performance is based on the relative standing of total shareholder return achieved by HollyFrontier compared to peer group companies. The number of shares ultimately issued or cash paid under these awards can range from zero0 to 200% of target award amounts. AsHolders of September 30, 2017, estimated share payouts for outstanding non-vested performance share unit awards averaged approximately 60%units have the right to receive dividend equivalents and other distributions with respect to such performance share units based on the target level of target amounts.payout.

NOTE 7: | Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments in Marketable Securities |
Our investment portfolio at September 30, 2017 consisted of cash and cash equivalents.
We periodically invest in marketable debt securities with the maximum maturity or put date of any individual issue generally not greater than one year from the date of purchase, which are usually held until maturity. All of these instruments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. 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.

Our inventories at the lower of FIFO cost or net realizable value.
Inventories, whichthat are valued at the lower of LIFO cost or market reflect a valuation reserve of $317.2$468.1 million and $332.5$240.4 million at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, respectively. The December 31, 20162019 market reserve of $332.5$240.4 million was reversed due to the sale of inventory quantities that gave rise to the 20162019 reserve. A new market reserve of $317.2$468.1 million was established as of September 30, 20172020 based on market conditions and prices at that time. The effect of the change in lower of cost or market reserve was a decrease to cost of goodsproducts sold totaling $111.1$62.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172020 and an increase to cost of $0.3products sold totaling $34.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,2019, and a decreasean increase to cost of goodsproducts sold totaling $15.3 million and $194.3$227.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016, respectively.a decrease to cost of products sold totaling $150.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
At September 30, 2017,2020, the LIFO value of inventory, net of the lower of cost or market reserve, was equal to current costs.
In May 2017,connection with our announcement of the EPA granted theconversion of our Cheyenne Refinery a one-year small refinery exemption from the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) program requirements for the 2016 calendar year. As a result, the Cheyenne Refinery’s gasoline andto renewable diesel production, are not subject to we recorded a reserve of $2.9 million and $9.0 million, for the percentage of production that must satisfy a Renewable Volume Obligation (“RVO”) for 2016.

Environmental costs are charged to operating expenses if they relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and do not contribute to current or future revenue generation. We have ongoing investigations of environmental matters at various locations and routinely assess our recorded environmental obligations, if any, with respect to such matters. Liabilities are recorded when site restoration and environmental remediation, cleanup and other obligations are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such estimates are undiscounted and require judgment with respect to costs, time frame and extent of required remedial and cleanup activities and are subject to periodic adjustments based on currently available information. Recoveries of environmental costs through insurance, indemnification arrangements or other sources are included in other assets to the extent such recoveries are considered probable.
We incurred expense of $0.1$2.2 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017,2020 and reduced expense by $0.82019, respectively, and $4.2 million and $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 for environmental remediation obligations. For the three2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred expense of $0.6 million and $2.0 million,2019, respectively, for environmental remediation obligations. The accrued environmental liability reflected in our consolidated balance sheets was $93.6$115.5 million and $96.4$117.7 million at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, respectively, of which $80.4$94.1 million and $82.9$95.6 million,, respectively, were classified as other long-term liabilities. These accruals include remediation and monitoring costs expected to be incurred over an extended period of time (up to 30 years for certain projects). The amount of our accrued liability includes PCLI environmental obligations of $3.6 million assumed upon our February 1, 2017 acquisition. Estimated liabilities could increase in the future when the results of ongoing investigations become known, are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated.

NOTE 11:10: 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, forward purchase and sales and futures contracts to mitigate price exposure with respect to:
to our inventory positions;
positions, natural gas purchases;
costs of crude oil and related grade differentials;
purchases, sales prices of refined products;products and crude oil costs.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. We periodically enter into derivative contracts in the form of foreign exchange forward and foreign exchange swap contracts to mitigate the exposure associated with fluctuations on intercompany notes with our refining margins.foreign subsidiaries that are not denominated in the U.S. dollar.
Accounting Hedges
We have swap contracts serving as cash flow hedges against price risk on forecasted purchases of natural gas.gas and to lock in basis spread differentials on forecasted purchases of crude oil. We also periodically have forward sales contracts that lock in the prices of future sales of crude oil and refined product and swap contracts serving as cash flow hedges against price risk on forecasted purchases of WTI crude oil and forecasted sales of refined product. These contracts have been designated as accounting hedges and are measured 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. 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.

At September 30, 2017,2020, we had a pre-tax net unrealized lossgain of $7.2$0.6 million classified in accumulated other comprehensive income that relates to all accounting hedges having contractual maturities through 2021. Assuming commodity prices and interest rates remain unchanged, an unrealized lossgain of $6.2$0.7 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.

(1) Includes 9,885 shares withheld under the terms of stock-based compensation agreements to provide funds for the payment of payroll and income taxes due at the vesting of share-based awards.
In May 2015,November 2019, our Board of Directors approved a $1$1.0 billion share repurchase program, which replaced all existing share repurchase programs, authorizing 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 and corporate, regulatory and other relevant considerations. This program may be discontinued at any time by the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2017,2020, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $178.8 millionnot repurchased common stock under this stock repurchase program. In addition, we are authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase shares in an amount sufficient to offset shares issued under our compensation programs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we withheld 105,787 and 5,359, respectively, shares of our common stock from certain employees. These withholdings were made under the terms of restricted stock unit and performance share unit agreements upon vesting, at which time, we concurrently made cash payments to fund payroll and income taxes on behalf of officers and employees who elected to have shares withheld from vested amounts to pay such taxes.

NOTE 14:Contingencies
We are a party to various litigation and legal proceedings which we believe, based on advice of counsel, will not either individually or in the aggregate have a materialmaterially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We havefiled a crude oil supply contractbusiness interruption claim with our insurance carriers related to a loss at our Woods Cross Refinery that requiresoccurred in the supplierfirst quarter 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we reached a final settlement agreement regarding the amounts owed to deliverus pursuant to our business interruption coverage, and we recognized a specified volumegain of crude oil or pay$81.0 million, which is reflected in our Corporate and Other segment.
During 2017, 2018 and 2019, the EPA granted the Cheyenne Refinery and Woods Cross Refinery each a shortfall feeone-year small refinery exemption from the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) program requirements for the difference2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively, calendar years. As a result, the Cheyenne Refinery’s and Woods Cross Refinery’s gasoline and diesel production are not subject to the Renewable Volume Obligation for the respective years. Upon each exemption granted, we increased our inventory of RINs and reduced our cost of products sold.
In 2019, various subsidiaries of HollyFrontier moved to intervene in four lawsuits brought by renewable fuel interest groups against the EPA in federal courts alleging violations of the RFS under the Clean Air Act and challenging the EPA’s handling of small refinery exemptions. We intervened to vigorously defend the EPA’s position on small refinery exemptions because we believe the EPA correctly applied applicable law to the matters at issue. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit dismissed one of these four lawsuits on November 12, 2019 for lack of jurisdiction. On January 24, 2020, in a second of these lawsuits, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacated the small refinery exemptions granted to two of our refineries for 2016 and remanded the case to the EPA for further proceedings. On March 24, 2020, various subsidiaries of HollyFrontier filed a Petition for Rehearing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. On April 7, 2020, the Tenth Circuit denied our request to reconsider its decision, and on April 15, 2020, the Tenth Circuit entered its mandate, remanding the matter back to the EPA. It is not clear at this time what steps the EPA will take with respect to our 2016 small refinery exemptions, or how the case will impact future small refinery exemptions. On September 4, 2020, various subsidiaries of HollyFrontier filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court appealing the Tenth Circuit decision. The third lawsuit is before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, and the matter is fully briefed and remains pending before that court. The fourth lawsuit is before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, and we anticipate briefing of the issues before the court to commence in the actual barrels deliveredfourth quarter of 2020. We are unable to us less the specified barrels per the supply contract. For the contract year ended August 31, 2017, the actual number of barrels delivered to us was substantially less than the specified barrels, and we recorded a reduction to cost of goods sold and accumulated a shortfall fee receivable of $26.0 million during this period. In September 2017, the supplier notified us they are disputing the shortfall fee owed and in October 2017 notified us of their demand for arbitration. We believe the receivable is realizable by offsetting invoices for deliveries of crude oil received subsequent to August 31, 2017, which is permitted under the supply contract. We believe the disputes and claims made by the supplier are without merit.

In March, 2006, a subsidiary of ours sold the assets of Montana Refining Company under an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”). Calumet Montana Refining LLC, the current owner of the assets, has submitted requests for reimbursement pursuant to contractual indemnity provisions under the APA for various costs incurred, as well as additional claims related to environmental matters. This matter is scheduled for arbitration beginning in January 2018. We have accruedestimate the costs we believe are owed pursuantmay incur, if any, at this time. It is too early to assess how the matter currently on appeal to the APA, and we estimate thatU.S. Supreme Court will impact future small refinery exemptions or whether the remaining two cases are expected to have any reasonably possible losses beyond the amounts accrued are not material.impact on us.

OVERVIEW
We are principally an independent petroleum refiner that produces high-value refinedlight products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, specialty lubricant products and specialty and modified asphalt. We ownAs of September 30, 2020, we owned and operateoperated refineries having a combined nameplate crude oil processing capacity of 457,000 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, 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”). As of September 30, 2020, we owned a facility in Cheyenne, Wyoming, which operated as a petroleum refinery until early August 2020 (the “Cheyenne Refinery”). We market our refined products principally in the Southwest United States, the Rocky Mountains extending into the Pacific Northwest and in other neighboring Plains states. In addition, we produce base oils and other specialized lubricants in the United States, Canada and the Netherlands, and export products to more than 80 countries. We also own a 57% limited partner interest and a non-economic general partner interest in HEP, a master limited partnership that provides petroleum product and crude oil transportation, terminalling, storage and throughput services to the petroleum industry, including HollyFrontier Corporation subsidiaries.
In the third quarter of 2020, we permanently ceased petroleum refining operations at our Cheyenne Refinery and subsequently began converting certain assets at our Cheyenne Refinery to renewable diesel production. This decision was primarily based on a positive outlook in the market for renewable diesel and the expectation that future free cash flow generation at our Cheyenne Refinery would be challenged due to lower gross margins resulting from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and compressed crude differentials due to dislocations in the crude oil market. Additional factors included uncompetitive operating and maintenance costs forecasted for our Cheyenne Refinery and the anticipated loss of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) small refinery exemption. The renewable diesel units are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2022 with an expected capital budget between $125-$175 million.
During the second quarter of 2020, we recorded a long-lived asset impairment of $232.2 million related to our Cheyenne Refinery asset group. In connection with the cessation of petroleum refining operations at our Cheyenne Refinery, we recognized $12.3 million in decommissioning expense during the third quarter of 2020. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $2.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in employee severance costs related to the conversion of our Cheyenne Refinery to renewable diesel production. These decommissioning and severance costs were recognized in operating expenses and were reported in our Refining segment.
During the second quarter of 2020, we also initiated and completed a corporate restructuring, which is expected to save approximately $30 million per year of ongoing cash expenses. As a result of this restructuring, we recorded $3.7 million in employee severance costs, which were recognized primarily as operating expenses in our Refining segment and selling, general and administrative expenses in our Corporate and Other segment.

Pursuant to the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”)EPA promulgated the Renewable Fuel Standard 2 (“RFS2”RFS”) regulations, which increased the 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. Compliance with RFS2RFS regulations significantly increases our cost of products sold, with RINs costs totaling $89.3$33.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.2020.
Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a decline in U.S. and global economic activity starting in the first quarter of 2020. This decrease reduced both volumes and unit margins across our businesses, resulting in lower gross margins and earnings. Over the course of the third quarter of 2020, demand for transportation fuels continued to be weak compared to the third quarter of 2019, but showed incremental improvement over the second quarter of 2020. In response to this level of demand, during the third quarter of 2020, we operated our Refining segment refineries at an average crude charge of 390,580 BPD.
In our Lubricants and Specialty Products segment, the Rack Forward portion saw improvement in industrial and transportation-related end markets, which drove higher demand and unit margins during the third quarter of 2020. Within the Rack Back portion, demand for base oils increased to fourth quarter 2019 levels while supply was limited due to a number of factors, which drove higher margins and utilization at our facilities in the third quarter.
The stabilization of demand drove a broad increase in commodity prices, resulting in values for our inventories held at September 30, 2020 above the costs of these inventories using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method and in a lower of cost or market valuation gain of $62.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Our standalone (excluding HEP) liquidity was approximately $2.9 billion at September 30, 2020, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $1,506.8 million and an undrawn $1.35 billion credit facility maturing in 2022. Our standalone (excluding HEP) long-term debt was $1.75 billion as of September 30, 2020, which consists of $350.0 million in 2.625% senior notes due in 2023, $1.0 billion of 5.875% senior notes due in 2026 and $400.0 million in 4.500% senior notes due in 2030.
OUTLOOK
Our profitability is largely driven by our operational reliabilityThe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global macroeconomy has created an unprecedented reduction in demand, as well as a lack of forward visibility, for many of the transportation fuels, lubricants and crack spreads (the price difference between refinedspecialty products and inputs suchthe associated transportation and terminal services we provide. While we have seen continued improvement in demand during the third quarter and expect to see a recovery in demand for all of these essential products in the long term, there is limited visibility on the timing or level of the recovery in the near term.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the health and safety of our employees as crude oil). Crack spreads are drivena top priority, we have continued several initiatives, including limiting onsite staff at all of our facilities, implementing a work-from-home policy for certain employees and restricting travel unless approved by senior leadership. We will continue to monitor COVID-19 developments and the supply and demanddynamic environment to properly address these policies going forward.
Within our Refining segment, for the fourth quarter of refined product markets. We believe 2016 represented a cyclical low driven by large additions of refining capacity around the world. Based on continued demand growth and limited capacity additions,2020, we expect crack spreads to be higher in 2017 than 2016.run between 360,000-380,000 barrels per day of crude oil based on market demand for transportation fuels. Currently, the primary determinants of demand are the various government orders and guidance restricting or discouraging travel. We expect to adjust refinery production levels commensurate with market demand.
Within our Lubricants and Specialty Products segment, while we have withdrawn formal 2020 guidance, we expect the improved market conditions and increased demand that we experienced in the third quarter of 2020 to continue up until the normal seasonal decline in demand at year-end. Similar to our Refining segment, we expect to adjust production levels commensurate with market demand.
Our RINs costs are material
At HEP, we continued to see incremental improvement in demand for transportation and representterminal services during the third quarter of 2020, particularly in HEP’s assets around the Salt Lake City area, and we expect this trend to continue through the fourth quarter of 2020. HEP maintained its quarterly distribution to $0.35 per unit, representative of a costdistribution policy focused on funding all capital expenditures and distributions within its operating cash flow and improving distributable cash flow coverage to 1.3x or greater with the goal of products sold. The pricereducing leverage to 3.0-3.5x.
During the third quarter of RINs2020, we increased our liquidity by $750.0 million with the issuance of $350.0 million in 2.625% senior notes due in 2023 and $400.0 million in 4.500% senior notes due in 2030. This additional liquidity may be extremely volatile dueused for general corporate purposes and is expected to real or perceived future shortages in RINs. As of September 30, 2017, we are purchasing RINs in order to meet approximately halfsupport the planned growth of our renewable fuel requirements.renewables business and the unexpected economic impact of COVID-19, as needed. We do not intend to repurchase common stock under our $1.0 billion share repurchase program until commodity prices and demand for our products normalize.
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), an approximately $2 trillion stimulus package that includes various provisions intended to provide relief to individuals and businesses in the form of tax changes, loans and grants, among others. At this time, we have not sought relief in the form of loans or grants from the CARES Act; however, we have benefited from certain tax deferrals in the CARES Act and may benefit from other tax provisions if we meet the requirements to do so.
The extent to which our future results are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on various factors and consequences beyond our control, such as the duration and scope of the pandemic, additional actions by businesses and governments in response to the pandemic and the speed and effectiveness of responses to combat the virus. The COVID-19 pandemic, and the volatile regional and global economic conditions stemming from it, could also exacerbate the risk factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic may also materially adversely affect our results in a manner that is either not currently known or that we do not currently consider to be a significant risk to our business.

(1)Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as “EBITDA,” is calculated as net income (loss) 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. 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.

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. We expect that, to the extent necessary, we can raise additional funds from time to time through equity or debt financings in the public and private capital markets. In addition, subject to our current cash conservation strategies as discussed above in “Outlook,” 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. We also expect to use cash for payment of cash dividends, which are at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and, once commodity prices and demand for products normalize, for the repurchases of our common stock under our share repurchase program.
As of Our standalone (excluding HEP) liquidity was approximately $2.9 billion at September 30, 2017, our2020, consisting of cash and cash equivalents totaled $630.7of $1,506.8 million. and an undrawn $1.35 billion credit facility maturing in 2022.
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.

In May 2015,November 2019, our Board of Directors approved a $1$1.0 billion share repurchase program, which replaced all existing share repurchase programs, authorizing 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 and corporate, regulatory and other relevant considerations. This program may be discontinued at any time by the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2017,2020, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $178.8 millionnot repurchased common stock under this stock repurchase program. In addition, we are authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase shares in an amount sufficient to offset shares issued under our compensation programs. In order to preserve liquidity, we do not intend to repurchase common stock under our $1.0 billion share repurchase program until commodity prices and demand for products normalize.

Planned Capital Expenditures
HollyFrontier Corporation
Each year our Board of Directors approves our annual capital budget, which includes specific projects that 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. During 2017, we expect to spend approximately $200.0 million to $250.0 million in cash for capital projects appropriated in 2017 and prior years. In addition, we expect to spend approximately $135.0 million to $150.0 million on refinery turnarounds. Refinery turnaround spending is amortized over the useful life of the turnaround.
The refining industry is capital intensive and requires on-going investments to sustain our refining operations. This includes replacement of, or rebuilding, refinery units and components that extend the useful life. We also invest in projects that improve operational reliability and profitability via enhancements that improve refinery processing capabilities as well as production yield and flexibility. Our capital expenditures also include projects related to environmental, health and safety compliance and include initiatives as a result of federal and state mandates.
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 Tier3, which mandates a reduction in the sulfur 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 / or yields of associated refining processes.
We have completed construction on our existing Woods Cross expansion project, increasing crude processing capacity to 45,000 BPSD, and providing greater crude slate flexibility, which we believe will increase capacity utilization and improve overall economic returns during periods when wax crudes are in short supply. The project also included construction of new refining facilities and a new rail loading rack for intermediates and finished products associated with refining waxy crude oil.
On November 18, 2013, the Utah Division of Air Quality issued a revised air quality permit (the “Approval Order”) authorizing the expansion. On December 18, 2013, two local environmental groups filed an administrative appeal challenging the issuance of the Approval Order and seeking a stay of the Approval Order. Following an extended appeal process, the Executive Director of the Utah Department of Environmental Quality issued a final order in favor of Woods Cross on all claims on March 31, 2015, and dismissed the project opponents’ arguments with prejudice. On April 27, 2015, the opponents filed a petition for review and notice of appeal with the Utah Court of Appeals challenging the agency’s decision to uphold the permit and dismiss the project opponents’ arguments. On August 4, 2016, the Utah Court of Appeals transferred the case to the Utah Supreme Court. The Utah Supreme Court established a supplemental briefing schedule, which ran through October 2016. Oral argument took place on December 14, 2016 and focused primarily on alleged procedural defects in the Petitioner’s appeal. The Utah Supreme Court took the matter under advisement and, on June 19, 2017, issued a 4-1 decision in favor of the State of Utah and HollyFrontier in a brief four-page opinion. This matter is now closed unless Petitioners file a motion for reconsideration, which appears unlikely at this point in time.
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 in excess of several years,a year, 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 2017 HEP expects the majority of the expansion capital budget is comprisedin 2020 to be invested in the Cushing Connect joint venture. In addition, HEP may spend funds periodically to perform capital upgrades or additions to its assets where a customer reimburses HEP for such costs. The upgrades or additions would generally benefit the customer over the remaining life of $9.0 million for maintenance capital expenditures and $30.0 million for expansion capital expenditures.the related service agreements.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting decline in U.S. and global economic activities, we have reduced our 2020 expected total consolidated capital expenditures by approximately 25% from our approved annual capital budget. Expected capital and turnaround cash spending for 2020 is as follows:

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, 2016.2019. 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 last-in, first-out (“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.
Inventory Valuation: Inventories related to our refining operations are stated at the lower of cost, using the LIFO method for crude oil and unfinished and finished refined products, or market. In periods of rapidly declining prices, LIFO inventories may have to be written down to market value due to the higher costs assigned to LIFO layers in prior periods. In addition, the use of the LIFO inventory method may result in increases or decreases to cost of sales in years that inventory volumes decline as the result of charging cost of sales with LIFO inventory costs generated in prior periods. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is 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.
At September 30, 2017,2020, our lower of cost or market inventory valuation reserve was $317.2$468.1 million. This amount, or a portion thereof, is subject to reversal as a reduction to cost of products sold in subsequent periods as inventories giving rise to the reserve are sold, and a new reserve is established. Such a reduction to cost of products sold could be significant if inventory values return to historical cost price levels. Additionally, further decreases in overall inventory values could result in additional charges to cost of products sold should the lower of cost or market inventory valuation reserve be increased.
Inventories consisting of process chemicals, materials and maintenance supplies and RINs are stated at the lower of weighted-average cost or net realizable value. Inventories of our PCLI operationsPetro-Canada Lubricants and Sonneborn businesses are stated at the lower of cost, using the FIFO method, or net realizable value.
Goodwill and Long-lived Assets: As of September 30, 2017,2020, our goodwill balance was $2.2$2.4 billion, with goodwill assigned to our refining, PCLIRefining, Lubricants and Specialty Products and HEP segments of $1.7 billion, $0.2 billion$1,733.5 million, $328.6 million and $0.3 billion,$312.9 million, respectively. 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 an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Our goodwill impairment testing first entails either a comparisonquantitative assessment or an optional qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of oura reporting unit fair values relative to their respectiveis less than its carrying values.amount. If carrying value exceedswe determine that based on the qualitative factors that it is more likely than not that the fair value forof the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, a quantitative test is performed in which we estimate the fair value of the related reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of that reporting unit is impaired, and we measure goodwill impairment as the excess of the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill over the impliedrelated fair valuevalue.
For purposes of that goodwill based on estimates of the fair value of all assets and liabilities in the reporting unit.
Ourlong-lived asset impairment evaluation, we have grouped our long-lived assets principally consist ofas follows: (i) our refiningrefinery asset groups, which include certain HEP logistics assets, that are organized as refining(ii) our Lubricants and Specialty Products asset groups and (iii) our PCLI business. TheHEP asset groups, which comprises HEP assets not included in our refinery asset groups. These asset groups also constitute our individual refinery reporting units that are usedrepresent the lowest level for testing and measuring goodwill impairments.which independent cash flows can be identified. Our long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment by identifying whether indicators of impairment exist and if so, assessing whether the long-lived assets are recoverable from estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The actual amount of impairment loss measured, if any, is equal to the amount by which the asset group’s carrying value exceeds its fair value.
Goodwill and long-lived asset impairments
Due to the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we determined that indicators of potential long-lived asset impairments were present in the second quarter of 2020. As a result of our long-lived asset impairment testing, we determined that the carrying value of the long-lived assets of our Cheyenne Refinery and PCLI asset groups were not recoverable, and thus recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $232.2 million and $204.7 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2020. Our testing did not result in any other impairments of long-lived assets in the second quarter. There were no additional indicators of long-lived asset impairment present in the third quarter of 2020.
Due to the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and a decrease in our market capitalization, we determined that indicators of potential goodwill impairment for our Refining and Lubricants and Specialty Products reporting units were present in the second quarter of 2020. As such, we performed an interim test for goodwill impairment as of May 31, 2020. Our interim goodwill impairment testing indicated that there was no impairment of goodwill at our Refining and Lubricants and Specialty Products reporting units as of May 31, 2020.
We performed our annual goodwill impairment testing quantitatively as of July 1, 20172020 and determined there was no impairment of goodwill attributable to our reporting units. The excess of the fair values of the reporting units over their respective carrying values ranged from 10% to 229%. Increasing the discount rate by 1.0% or reducing the terminal cash flow growth rate by 1.0% would not have changed the results of our interim or annual goodwill impairment testing.
In performing our impairment tests of goodwill and long-lived assets we developed cash flow forecasts for each of our reporting units and asset groups. Significant judgment is involved in performing these fair value estimates since the results are based on forecasted financial information. The cash flow forecasts include significant assumptions such as planned utilization, end-user demand, selling prices, gross margins, operating costs and capital expenditures. Another key assumption applied to these forecasts to determine the fair value of our El Doradoa reporting unit exceeded its carryingor an asset group is the discount rate. The discount rate is intended to reflect the weighted average cost of capital for a market participant and the risks associated with the realization of the estimated future cash flows. Assumptions about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on future demand and market conditions are inherently subjective and difficult to forecast. Our fair value by approximately 10%. estimates are based on projected cash flows, which we believe to be reasonable.
A reasonable expectation exists that further deterioration in gross marginsour operating results or overall economic conditions could result in an impairment of goodwill and the/ or additional long-lived assets of the El Dorado reporting unitasset impairments at some point in the future and suchfuture. Future impairment charges could be material.material to our results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to environmental, labor, product and other matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after careful analysis of each individual issue. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters.
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, forward purchase and sales and futures contracts to mitigate price exposure with respect to:
to our inventory positions;
positions, natural gas purchases;
costs of crude oil and related grade differentials;
purchases, sales prices of refined products;products and crude oil costs.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
We are exposed to market risk related to the volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. We periodically enter into derivative contracts in the form of foreign exchange forward and foreign exchange swap contracts to mitigate the exposure associated with fluctuations on intercompany notes with our refining margins.foreign subsidiaries that are not denominated in the U.S. dollar.
As of September 30, 2017,2020, we have the following notional contract volumes related to all outstanding derivative contractsinstruments used to mitigate commodity price and foreign currency risk:

At September 30, 2017,2020, outstanding borrowings under the HEP Credit Agreement were $750.0 million.$948.0 million. A hypothetical 10% change in applicable interest rates applicable to the HEP Credit Agreement would not materially affect cash flows.
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 the United States (“GAAP”) in financial statements.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income (loss) 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 these calculationsthe 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.analysis and as a basis for financial covenants.
Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA. | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |

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 produced barrel sold is the difference between average net sales price and averagetotal refining segment revenues less total refining segment cost of products per barrelsold, exclusive of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments, divided by sales volumes of produced refined products.products sold. Net operating margin per barrel sold is the difference between refinery gross margin and refinery operating expenses per produced barrel of produced refined products.sold. These two margins do not include the non-cash effects of long-lived asset impairment charges, lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustments goodwill and asset impairment charges or 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)refinery net sales, cost of products (exclusive of lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment)operating and gross margin and operating expenses, in each case averaged per produced barrel sold, and (ii) net operating margin and refinery gross margin.sold. Due to rounding of reported numbers, some amounts may not calculate exactly.

On December 14, 2018, we received early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act from the FTC and Department of Justice with respect to the Sonneborn acquisition. On January 17, 2019, we received early termination of the applicable waiting period under the German antitrust laws with respect to the Sonneborn acquisition.

Renewable Fuel Standard
Various subsidiaries of HollyFrontier moved to intervene in four lawsuits brought by renewable fuel interest groups against the EPA in federal courts alleging violations of the Renewable Fuel Standard under the Clean Air Act and challenging the EPA’s handling of small refinery exemptions. We intervened to vigorously defend the EPA’s position on small refinery exemptions because we believe the EPA correctly applied applicable law to the matters at issue. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit dismissed one of these four lawsuits on November 12, 2019 for lack of jurisdiction. On January 24, 2020, in a second of these lawsuits, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacated the small refinery exemptions granted to two of our refineries for 2016 and remanded the case to the EPA for further proceedings. On March 24, 2020, various subsidiaries of HollyFrontier filed a Petition for Rehearing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. On April 7, 2020, the Tenth Circuit denied our request to reconsider its decision, and on April 15, 2020, the Tenth Circuit entered its mandate, remanding the matter back to the EPA. It is not clear at this time what steps the EPA will take with respect to our 2016 small refinery exemptions, or how the case will impact future small refinery exemptions. On September 4, 2020, various subsidiaries of HollyFrontier filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court appealing the Tenth Circuit decision. The third lawsuit is before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, and the matter is fully briefed and remains pending before that court. The fourth lawsuit is before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, and we anticipate briefing of the issues before the court to commence in the fourth quarter of 2020.
