All statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results or to our expectations regarding future industry trends are forward-looking statements.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of the Business
PBF Holding Company LLC (“PBF Holding” or the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, and PBF Finance Corporation (“PBF Finance”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding, together with itsthe Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, owns and operates oil refineries and related facilities in North America. PBF Holding is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Energy Company LLC (“PBF LLC”). PBF Energy Inc. (“PBF Energy”) is the sole managing member of, and owner of an equity interest representing approximately 96.6%99.3% of the outstanding economic interest in, PBF LLC as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2023. PBF Investments LLC, (“PBF Investments”), Toledo Refining Company LLC, (“Toledo Refining” or “TRC”), Paulsboro Refining Company LLC (“Paulsboro Refining” or “PRC”PRC”), Delaware City Refining Company LLC (“Delaware City Refining” or “DCR”DCR”), Chalmette Refining, L.L.C. (“Chalmette Refining”), PBF Energy Western Region LLC, (“PBF Western Region”), Torrance Refining Company LLC, (“Torrance Refining”) and Torrance Logistics Company LLC and Martinez Refining Company LLC are PBF LLC’s principal operating subsidiaries and are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of PBF Holding. Collectively, PBF Holding and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to hereinafter as the “Company”.
On May 14, 2014, PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX”), a Delaware master limited partnership, completed its initial public offering (the “PBFX Offering”). PBF Logistics GP LLC (“PBF GP”) serves as the general partner of PBFX.PBF Logistics LP (“PBFX”). PBF GP is wholly-owned by PBF LLC. In connection with the PBFX Offering, PBF Holding contributed to PBFX the assets and liabilities of certain crude oil terminaling assets. In a series of additional transactions, subsequent to the PBFX Offering, PBF Holding has distributed certain additional assets to PBF LLC, which in turn contributed those assets to PBFX (as described in “Note 86 - Related Party Transactions”).
Substantially all of the Company’s operations are in the United States. As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and have been aggregated to form one reportable segment. To generate earnings and cash flows from operations, the Company is primarily dependent upon processing crude oil and selling refined petroleum products at margins sufficient to cover fixed and variable costs and other expenses. Crude oil and refined petroleum products are commodities; and factors largely out of the Company’s control can cause prices to vary over time. The potential margin volatility can have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, earnings and cash flow.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the PBF Holding and PBF Finance financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 of PBF Holding Company LLC and PBF Finance Corporation.2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Change in Presentation
During the third quarter of 2017, the Company determined that it would revise the presentation of certain line items on its consolidated statements of operations to enhance its disclosure under the requirements of Rule 5-03 of Regulation S-X. The revised presentation is comprised of the inclusion of a subtotal within costs and expenses referred to as “Cost of sales” and the reclassification of total depreciation and amortization expense between such amounts attributable to cost of sales and other operating costs and expenses. The amount of depreciation and

The Company has exposure to credit losses primarily through its sales of refined products. The Company evaluates creditworthiness on an individual customer basis.

The historical comparative information has been revised to conform to the current presentation. This revised presentation does not have an effectCompany’s payment terms on its trade receivables are relatively short, generally 30 days or less for a substantial majority of its refined products. As a result, the Company’s historical consolidated income from operations or net income, nor does it have any impact on its consolidated balance sheets, statementscollection risk is mitigated to a certain extent by the fact that sales are collected in a relatively short period of comprehensive income or statements of cash flows.

Notwithstanding, the Company reviews each customer’s credit risk profile at least annually or more frequently if warranted.
The Company performs a quarterly allowance for doubtful accounts analysis to assess whether an allowance needs to be recorded for any outstanding trade receivables. In estimating credit losses, management reviews accounts that are past due, have known disputes or have experienced any negative credit events that may result in future collectability issues. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Reclassification
Certain amounts previously reported in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 presentation. These reclassifications, in addition to the changes in “Cost and expenses” described above, include certain details about accrued expenses in that footnote.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2016-06”). ASU 2016-6 was issued in March 2016 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to increase consistency in practice in applying guidance on determining if an embedded derivative is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, specifically for assessing whether call (put) options that can accelerate the repayment of principal on a debt instrument meet the clearly and closely related criterion. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 was issued by the FASB in March 2016 to simplify certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payments to employees. The guidance in ASU 2016-09 requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled rather than recording excess tax benefits or deficiencies in additional paid-in capital. The guidance in ASU 2016-09 also allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it could prior to its adoption for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-17, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control” (“ASU 2016-17”). ASU 2016-17 was issued by the FASB in October 2016 to amend the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The amendments in this ASU do not change the characteristics of a primary beneficiary in current GAAP. The amendments in this ASU require that a reporting entity, in determining whether it satisfies the second characteristic of a primary beneficiary, include all of its direct variable interests in a VIE and, on a proportionate basis, its indirect variable interests in a VIE held through related parties, including related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”), which provides guidance to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. Under ASU 2017-01, it is expected that the definition of a business will be narrowed and more consistently applied. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. Early adoption of ASU 2017-01 is permitted and the Company early adopted the new standard in its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures effective January 1, 2017. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not materially impact its consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”), which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from

12

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT UNIT, BARREL AND PER BARREL DATA)

Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”) for all entities by one year. Additional ASUs have been issued in 2016 and 2017 that provide certain implementation guidance related to ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the Company refers to ASU 2014-09 and these additional ASUs as the “Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance”). The Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. Under ASU 2015-14, this guidance becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. Under ASU 2015-14, early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company has established a working group to assess the Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance, including its impact on the Company’s business processes, accounting systems, controls and financial statement disclosures. The Company will adopt this new standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective application. Under that method, the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, and revenues reported in the periods prior to the date of adoption are not changed. The working group is progressing through its implementation plan and continues to evaluate the impact of this new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Additionally, the Company has begun training the relevant staff at its corporate headquarters and refineries on the Updated Revenue Recognition Guidance, including the potential impacts on internal reporting and disclosure requirements. Although the Company’s analysis of the new standard is still in process and interpretative and industry specific guidance is still developing, based on the results to date, we have reached tentative conclusions for most contract types and do not believe revenue recognition patterns will change materially. However, it is expected that the new standard will have some impact on presentation and disclosures in its financial statements and internal controls.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), to increase the transparency and comparability about leases among entities. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts.  It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has established a working group to study and lead implementation of the new guidance in ASU 2016-02. This working group was formed during 2016 and has begun the process of compiling a central repository for all leases entered into by the Company and its subsidiaries for further analysis as the implementation project progresses. The Company will not early adopt this new guidance. The working group continues to evaluate the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. At this time, the Company has identified that the most significant impacts of this new guidance will be to bring nearly all leases on its balance sheet with “right of use assets” and “lease obligation liabilities” as well as accelerating the interest expense component of financing leases. While the assessment of the impacts arising from this standard is progressing, it remains in its early stages. Accordingly, the Company has not fully determined the impacts on its business processes, controls or financial statement disclosures.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”), which provides guidance to improve the reporting of net benefit cost in the income statement and on the components eligible for capitalization in assets. Under the new guidance, employers will present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Additionally, under this guidance, employers will present the other components of the net periodic benefit cost separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, if one is presented. These components will not be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will apply the guidance on the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement retrospectively. The guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost component will be applied prospectively. The guidance includes a practical expedient allowing entities to estimate amounts for comparative periods using the information previously disclosed in their pension and other postretirement benefit plan note to the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect the

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT UNIT, BARREL AND PER BARREL DATA)

adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which provides guidance to increase clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost and complexity when applying the existing accounting guidance on changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 require an entity to account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (i) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (ii) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and (iii) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The guidance in ASU 2017-09 should be applied prospectively. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will apply the guidance prospectively for any modifications to its stock compensation plans occurring after the effective date of the new standard.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”). The amendments in ASU 2017-12 more closely align the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with risk management activities through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 address specific limitations in current GAAP by expanding hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and by refining the measurement of hedge results to better reflect an entity’s hedging strategies. Thus, the amendments in ASU 2017-12 will enable an entity to better portray the economic results of hedging activities for certain fair value and cash flow hedges and will avoid mismatches in earnings by allowing for greater precision when measuring changes in fair value of the hedged item for certain fair value hedges. Additionally, by aligning the timing of recognition of hedge results with the earnings effect of the hedged item for cash flow and net investment hedges, and by including the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is presented, the results of an entity’s hedging program and the cost of executing that program will be more visible to users of financial statements. The guidance in ASU 2017-12 concerning amendments to cash flow and net investment hedge relationships that exist on the date of adoption should be applied using a modified retrospective approach (i.e., with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the initial application date). The guidance in ASU 2017-12 also provides transition relief to make it easier for entities to apply certain amendments to existing hedges (including fair value hedges) where the hedge documentation needs to be modified. The presentation and disclosure requirements of ASU 2017-12 should be applied prospectively. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. ACQUISITIONS
Torrance Acquisition
On July 1, 2016, the Company acquired from ExxonMobil Oil Corporation and its subsidiary, Mobil Pacific Pipe Line Company, the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets (collectively, the “Torrance Acquisition”). The Torrance refinery, located in Torrance, California, is a high-conversion, delayed-coking refinery. The facility is strategically positioned in Southern California with advantaged logistics connectivity that offers flexible raw material sourcing and product distribution opportunities primarily in the California, Las Vegas and Phoenix area markets. The Torrance Acquisition provided the Company with a broader more diversified asset base and increased the number of operating refineries from four to five and expanded the Company’s combined crude oil throughput capacity. The acquisition also provided the Company with a presence in the PADD 5 market.

14

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT UNIT, BARREL AND PER BARREL DATA)

In addition to refining assets, the transaction included a number of high-quality logistics assets including a sophisticated network of crude and products pipelines, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities. The most significant of the logistics assets is a crude gathering and transportation system which delivers San Joaquin Valley crude oil directly from the field to the refinery. Additionally, included in the transaction were several pipelines which provide access to sources of crude oil including the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, as well as clean product outlets with a direct pipeline supplying jet fuel to the Los Angeles airport.
The aggregate purchase price for the Torrance Acquisition was $521,350 in cash after post-closing purchase price adjustments, plus final working capital of $450,582. In addition, the Company assumed certain pre-existing environmental and regulatory emission credit obligations in connection with the Torrance Acquisition. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand, including proceeds from certain PBF Energy equity offerings and borrowings under the Company’s asset based revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Loan”).
The Company accounted for the Torrance Acquisition as a business combination under GAAP whereby the Company recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The final purchase price and fair value allocation were completed as of June 30, 2017. During the measurement period, which ended in June 2017, adjustments were made to the Company’s preliminary fair value estimates related primarily to Property, plant and equipment and Other long-term liabilities reflecting the finalization of the Company’s assessment of the costs and duration of certain assumed pre-existing environmental obligations.
The total purchase consideration and the fair values of the assets and liabilities at the acquisition date were as follows:
 Purchase Price
Gross purchase price$537,500
Working capital450,582
Post close purchase price adjustments(16,150)
Total consideration$971,932

9. 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary conduct of the Company’s business, the Company is from time to time subject to lawsuits, investigations and claims, including class action proceedings, mass tort actions, tort actions, environmental claims and employee-related matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but the Company accrues liabilities for these matters if the Company has determined that it is probable a loss has been incurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. For such ongoing matters for which we have not recorded a liability but losses are reasonably possible, we are unable to estimate a range of possible losses at this time due to various reasons that may include but are not limited to, matters being in an early stage and not fully developed through pleadings, discovery or court proceedings, number of potential claimants being unknown or uncertainty regarding a number of different factors underlying the potential claims. However, the ultimate resolution of one or more of these contingencies could result in an adverse outcome that may have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental Matters
The Company’s refineries, pipelines and related operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment (including in response to the potential impacts of climate change), waste management and the characteristics and the compositions of fuels. Compliance with existing and anticipated laws and regulations can increase the overall cost of operating the refineries, including remediation, operating costs and capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities.
These laws and permits raise potential exposure to future claims and lawsuits involving environmental and safety matters which could include soil and water contamination, air pollution, personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by substances which the Company manufactured, handled, used, released or disposed of, transported, or that relate to pre-existing conditions for which the Company has assumed responsibility. The Company believes that its current operations are in compliance with existing environmental and safety requirements. However, there have been and will continue to be ongoing discussions about environmental and safety matters between the Company and federal and state authorities, including notices of violations, citations and other enforcement actions, some of which have resulted or may result in changes to operating procedures and in capital expenditures. While it is often difficult to quantify future environmental or safety related expenditures, the Company anticipates that continuing capital investments and changes in operating procedures will be required for the foreseeable future to comply with existing and new requirements, as well as evolving interpretations and more strict enforcement of existing laws and regulations.
In connection with the Paulsboroacquisition of the Torrance refinery acquisition,and related logistics assets, the Company assumed certain pre-existing environmental liabilities. The estimated costs related to these remediation obligations. The Paulsboro environmental liability of $10,809 recordedobligations totaled $115.2 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 ($10,792117.0 million as of December 31, 2016) represents2022), and related primarily to remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and the present value of expected future costs discounted at a rate of 8.0%.related monitoring and clean-up activities. Costs related to these obligations are reassessed periodically or when changes to our remediation approach are identified. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in Accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in Other long-term liabilities. This
The aggregate environmental liability is self-guaranteed byreflected in the Company.
In connection with the acquisition of the Delaware City assets, Valero Energy Corporation (“Valero”) remains responsible for certain pre-acquisition environmental obligations up to $20,000Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $157.1 million and the predecessor to Valero in ownership of the refinery retains other historical obligations.
In connection with the acquisition of the Delaware City assets$155.6 million at March 31, 2023 and the Paulsboro refinery, the Company and Valero purchased ten year, $75,000 environmental insurance policies to insure against unknown environmental liabilities at each site. In connection with the Toledo refinery acquisition, Sunoco, Inc. (R&M) (“Sunoco”) remains responsible for environmental remediation for conditions that existed on the closing date for twenty years from March 1, 2011 subject to certain limitations.
In connection with the acquisition of the Chalmette refinery, the Company obtained $3,936 in financial assurance (in the form of a surety bond) to cover estimated potential site remediation costs associated with an agreed to Administrative Order of Consent with the EPA. The estimated cost assumes remedial activities will continue for a minimum of 30 years. Further, in connection with the acquisition of the Chalmette refinery, the Company purchased a ten year, $100,000 environmental insurance policy to insure against unknown environmental liabilities at the refinery.
As of November 1, 2015, the Company acquired Chalmette Refining, which was in discussions with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (“LDEQ”) to resolve self-reported deviations from refinery operations relating to certain Clean Air Act Title V permit conditions, limits and other requirements. LDEQ commenced an enforcement action against Chalmette Refining on November 14, 2014 by issuing a Consolidated Compliance Order and Notice of Potential Penalty (the “Order”) covering deviations from 2009 and 2010. Chalmette Refining and LDEQ subsequently entered into a dispute resolution agreement, the enforcementDecember 31, 2022, respectively, of which has been suspended while negotiations$143.2 million and $141.5 million, respectively, were classified as Other long-term liabilities. These liabilities include remediation and monitoring costs expected to be incurred over an extended period of time. Estimated liabilities could increase in the future when the results of ongoing investigations become known, are ongoing, which may include the resolution of deviations outside the periods covered by the

considered probable and can be reasonably estimated.

Order. In February 2017, Chalmette Refining and the LDEQ met to resolve the issues under the Order, including the assessment of an administrative penalty against Chalmette Refining. Although a resolution has not been finalized, the administrative penalty is anticipated to be approximately $700, including beneficial environmental projects. To the extent the administrative penalty exceeds such amount, it is not expected to be material to the Company.
On December 23, 2016, the Delaware City refinery received a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) from DNREC concerning a potential violation of the DNREC order authorizing the shipment of crude oil by barge from the refinery. The NOV alleges that DCR made shipments to locations other than the Paulsboro refinery in violation of the order and requests certain additional information. On February 7, 2017, DCR responded to the NOV. On March 10, 2017, DNREC issued a $150 fine in a Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order to the Delaware City refinery for violating the 2013 Secretary’s Order. DNREC determined that the Delaware City refinery had violated the order by failing to make timely and full disclosure to DNREC about the nature and extent of those shipments, and had misrepresented the number of shipments that went to other facilities. The penalty assessment and Secretary’s Order conclude that the 2013 Secretary’s Order was violated by the Delaware City refinery by shipping crude oil from the Delaware City terminal to three locations other than the Paulsboro refinery, on 15 days in 2014, making a total of 17 separate barge shipments containing approximately 35.7 million gallons of crude oil in total. On April 28, 2017, DCR appealed the Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order. The hearing of the appeal is scheduled for February 2018. To the extent that the penalty and Secretary’s Order are upheld, there will not be a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On December 28, 2016, DNREC issued a Coastal Zone Act permit (the “Ethanol permit”) to DCR allowing the utilization of existing tanks and existing marine loading equipment at their existing facilities to enable denatured ethanol to be loaded from storage tanks to marine vessels and shipped to offsite facilities. On January 13, 2017, the issuance of the Ethanol Permit was appealed by two environmental groups. On February 27, 2017, the Coastal Zone Industrial Board held a public hearing and dismissed the appeal, determining that the appellants did not have standing. The final opinion and order of the Board was issued March 16, 2017. The appellants filed an appeal of the Board’s decision with the Delaware Superior Court on March 30, 2017. On September 28, 2017, the Delaware Superior Court issued it scheduling order governing briefing in the appeal of the Coastal Zone Board’s decision to sustain the permit issued for the ethanol project. The filing of briefs has been scheduled for October and November 2017.
On October 19, 2017, the Delaware City Refinery received approval from DNREC for the construction and operation of the ethanol marketing project to allow for a combined total loading of up to 10,000 bpd, on an annual average basis, of ethanol on to marine vessels at the marine piers and the terminal truck loading rack, subject to certain operational and emissions limitations as well as other conditions. On the same date, Delaware City Logistics Company LLC received DNREC approval for the construction of (i) four additional loading arms for each of lanes 4, 10 and 11 for purposes of loading ethanol at its truck loading rack and (ii) a vapor vacuum control system for loading lanes connected to the existing vapor recovery unit located at its terminal in Delaware City. This approval is also subject to certain operational and emission limitations as well as other conditions.
On February 3, 2011, EPA sent a request for information pursuant to Section 114 of the Clean Air Act to the Paulsboro refinery with respect to compliance with EPA standards governing flaring. The refinery and the EPA have reached agreement on settlement, which includes a civil penalty of $180. On July 13, 2017 the U.S. Department of Justice filed with the Court the motion to enter the consent decree. On September 19, 2017, the Court approved the consent decree and in connection therewith the Paulsboro refinery has paid a penalty of $180.Contingent Consideration
In connection with the acquisition of the TorranceMartinez refinery and related logistics assets, the sale and purchase agreement dated June 11, 2019 included an earn-out provision based on certain earnings thresholds of the Martinez refinery. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company assumedwill make payments to Equilon Enterprises LLC d/b/a Shell Oil Products US, based on future earnings at the Martinez refinery in excess of certain pre-existing environmental liabilities totaling $138,511thresholds, as defined in the agreement, for a period of up to four years following the acquisition closing date (the “Martinez Contingent Consideration”). Upon acquisition of the refinery, the Company recorded the estimated acquisition date fair value of the earn-out provision as contingent consideration of $77.3 million within “Other long-term liabilities” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration was estimated to be $126.0 million as of September 30, 2017 ($142,456March 31, 2023 (of which $80.0 million is included within Accrued expenses and was paid in full in April 2023). The fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration was estimated to be $147.3 million as of December 31, 2016), related to certain environmental remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and monitoring and other clean-up activities,2022 (of which reflects the current estimated cost of the remediation obligations. The current portion of the environmental liability is recorded in$81.6 million was included within Accrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in Other long-term liabilities. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, the Company purchased a ten year, $100,000 environmental

insurance policy to insure against unknown environmental liabilities. Furthermore, in connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed responsibility for certain specified environmental matters that occurred prior to the Company’s ownership of the refinery and the logistics assets, including specified incidents and/or NOVs issued by regulatory agencies in various years before the Company’s ownership, including the Southern California Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) and the Division of Occupational Safety and Health of the State of California (“Cal/OSHA”)expenses).
Additionally, subsequent to the acquisition, further NOVs were issued by the SCAQMD, Cal/OSHA, the City of Torrance and the City of Torrance Fire Department related to alleged operational violations, emission discharges and/or flaring incidents at the refinery and the logistics assets before and after the Company’s acquisition. With the exception of one NOV for which a proposed settlement is less than $100, no settlement or penalty demands have been received to date with respect to the other NOVs. As the ultimate outcomes are uncertain, the Company cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of their resolution. It is reasonably possible that SCAQMD, Cal/OSHA and/or the City of Torrance will assess penalties in the other matters in excess of $100 but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, individually or in the aggregate.
The Company’s operations and many of the products it manufactures are subject to certain specific requirements of the Clean Air Act (the “CAA”) and related state and local regulations. The CAA contains provisions that require capital expenditures for the installation of certain air pollution control devices at the Company’s refineries. Subsequent rule making authorized by the CAA or similar laws or new agency interpretations of existing rules, may necessitate additional expenditures in future years.
In 2010, New York State adopted a Low-Sulfur Heating Oil mandate that, beginning July 1, 2012, requires all heating oil sold in New York State to contain no more than 15 parts per million (“PPM”) sulfur. Since July 1, 2012, other states in the Northeast market began requiring heating oil sold in their state to contain no more than 15 PPM sulfur. Currently, all of the Northeastern states and Washington DC have adopted sulfur controls on heating oil. Most of the Northeastern states will now require heating oil with 15 PPM or less sulfur by July 1, 2018 (except for Pennsylvania and Maryland - where less than 500 ppm sulfur is required). All of the heating oil the Company currently produces meets these specifications. The mandate and other requirements do not currently have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The EPA issued the final Tier 3 Gasoline standards on March 3, 2014 under the CAA. This final rule establishes more stringent vehicle emission standards and further reduces the sulfur content of gasoline starting in January 2017.  The new standard is set at 10 PPM sulfur in gasoline on an annual average basis starting January 1, 2017, with a credit trading program to provide compliance flexibility. The EPA responded to industry comments on the proposed rule and maintained the per gallon sulfur cap on gasoline at the existing 80 PPM cap. The refineries are complying with these new requirements as planned, either directly or using flexibility provided by sulfur credits generated or purchased in advance as an economic optimization. The standards set by the new rule are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The EPA published the final 2014-2016 standards under the Renewable Fuels Standard (“RFS”) late in 2015 and issued final 2017 RFS standards in November 2016. In July 2017, the EPA issued proposed 2018 RFS standards that, while the Company is still reviewing, appear to slightly reduce renewable volume standards from final 2017 levels. It is not clear that renewable fuel producers will be able to produce the volumes of these fuels required for blending in accordance with the 2017 standards. The final 2017 cellulosic standard is at approximately 135% of the 2016 standard. It is likely that cellulosic RIN production will be lower than needed forcing obligated parties, such as the Company, to purchase cellulosic “waiver credits” to comply in 2017 (the waiver credit option by regulation is only available for the cellulosic standard). The advanced and total RIN requirements were raised (by 7% and 3%, respectively) above the original proposed level in May 2016. Production of advanced RINs has been below what is needed for compliance in 2016. Obligated parties, such as the Company, will likely be relying on the nesting feature of the biodiesel RIN to comply with the advanced standard in 2017. While the Company believes that total RIN production will be adequate for 2016 needs, the new 2017 standard will put obligated parties up

26

against the E10 blendwall leaving little flexibility. Compliance in 2017 will likely rely on obligated parties drawing down the supply of excess RINs collectively known as the “RIN bank” and could tighten the RIN market potentially raising RIN prices further. The Company is supporting a proposal to change the point of obligation under the RFS program to the “blender” of renewable fuels, of which the new presidential administration may be supportive. Depending on how the new administration addresses this proposal and any future changes to the RFS 2 program, there could be a material impact on the Company’s cost of compliance with RFS 2.
In addition, on December 1, 2015 the EPA finalized revisions to an existing air regulation concerning Maximum Achievable Control Technologies (“MACT”) for Petroleum Refineries. The regulation requires additional continuous monitoring systems for eligible process safety valves relieving to atmosphere, minimum flare gas heat (Btu) content, and delayed coke drum vent controls to be installed by January 30, 2019. In addition, a program for ambient fence line monitoring for benzene will need to be implemented by January 30, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the final standards to evaluate the impact of this regulation, and at this time does not anticipate it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The EPA published a Final Rule to the Clean Water Act (“CWA”) Section 316(b) in August 2014 regarding cooling water intake structures, which includes requirements for petroleum refineries. The purpose of this rule is to prevent fish from being trapped against cooling water intake screens (impingement) and to prevent fish from being drawn through cooling water systems (entrainment). Facilities will be required to implement Best Technology Available (“BTA”) as soon as possible, but state agencies have the discretion to establish implementation time lines. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of this regulation, and at this time does not anticipate it having a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
As a result of the Torrance Acquisition, the Company is subject to greenhouse gas emission control regulations in the state of California pursuant to Assembly Bill 32 (“AB32”). AB32 imposes a statewide cap on greenhouse gas emissions, including emissions from transportation fuels, with the aim of returning the state to 1990 emission levels by 2020. AB32 is implemented through two market mechanisms including the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) and Cap and Trade, which was extended for an additional ten years to 2030 in July 2017. The Company is responsible for the AB32 obligations related to the Torrance refinery beginning on July 1, 2016 and must purchase emission credits to comply with these obligations. Additionally, in September 2016, the state of California enacted Senate Bill 32 (“SB32”) which further reduces greenhouse gas emissions targets to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.
However, subsequent to the acquisition, the Company is recovering the majority of these costs from its customers, and as such does not expect this obligation to materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. To the degree there are unfavorable changes to AB32 or SB32 regulations or the Company is unable to recover such compliance costs from customers, these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
On February 15, 2017, the Company received a notification that EPA records indicated that PBF Holding used potentially invalid RINs that were in fact verified under the EPA’s RIN Quality Assurance Program (“QAP”) by an independent auditor as QAP A RINs. Under the regulations, use of potentially invalid QAP A RINs provided the user with an affirmative defense from civil penalties provided certain conditions are met. The Company has asserted the affirmative defense and if accepted by the EPA will not be required to replace these RINs and will not be subject to civil penalties under the program. It is reasonably possible that the EPA will not accept the Company’s defense and may assess penalties in these matters but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is also currently subject to certain other existing environmental claims and proceedings. The Company believes that there is only a remote possibility that future costs related to any of these other known contingent liability exposures would have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

PBF LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement
The holders of limited liability company interests in PBF LLC, including PBF Energy, generally have to include for purposes of calculating their U.S. federal, state and local income taxes their share of any taxable income of PBF LLC, regardless of whether such holders receive cash distributions from PBF LLC. PBF Energy ultimately may not receive cash distributions from PBF LLC equal to its share of such taxable income or even equal to the actual tax due with respect to that income. For example, PBF LLC is required to include in taxable income PBF LLC’s allocable share of PBFX’s taxable income and gains (such share to be determined pursuant to the partnership agreement of PBFX), regardless of the amount of cash distributions received by PBF LLC from PBFX, and such taxable income and gains will flow-through to PBF Energy to the extent of its allocable share of the taxable income of PBF LLC. As a result, at certain times, the amount of cash otherwise ultimately available to PBF Energy on account of its indirect interest in PBFX may not be sufficient for PBF Energy to pay the amount of taxes it will owe on account of its indirect interests in PBFX.
Taxable income of PBF LLC generally is allocated to the holders of PBF LLC units (including PBF Energy) pro-rata in accordance with their respective share of the net profits and net losses of PBF LLC. In general, PBF LLC is required to make periodic tax distributions to the members of PBF LLC, including PBF Energy, pro-rata in accordance with their respective percentage interests for such period (as determined under the amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PBF LLC), subject to available cash and applicable law and contractual restrictions (including pursuant to our debt instruments) and based on certain assumptions. Generally, these tax distributions are required to be in an amount equal to our estimate of the taxable income of PBF LLC for the year multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in New York, New York (taking into account the nondeductibility of certain expenses). If, with respect to any given calendar year, the aggregate periodic tax distributions were less than the actual taxable income of PBF LLC multiplied by the assumed tax rate, PBF LLC is required to make a “true up” tax distribution, no later than March 15 of the following year, equal to such difference, subject to the available cash and borrowings of PBF LLC. PBF LLC generally obtains funding to pay its tax distributions by causing PBF Holding to distribute cash to PBF LLC and from distributions it receives from PBFX.
Tax Receivable Agreement
PBF Energy (the Company’s indirect parent) entered into a tax receivable agreement with the PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B Unit holders (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by PBF Energy to such persons of an amount equal to 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that PBF Energy is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis, as described below, and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the benefits deemed realized by PBF Energy will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of PBF Energy (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that PBF Energy would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC as a result of purchases or exchanges of PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy’s Class A common stock and had PBF Energy not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless: (i) PBF Energy exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) PBF Energy breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or (iii) certain changes of control occur, in which case all obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally be accelerated and due as calculated under certain assumptions.
The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are obligations of PBF Energy and not of PBF LLC or the Company. In general, PBF Energy expects to obtain funding for these annual payments from PBF LLC, primarily through tax distributions, which PBF LLC makes on a pro-rata basis to its owners. Such owners include PBF Energy, which holds a 96.6% interest in PBF LLC as of September 30, 2017 (96.5% as of December 31, 2016).

The following table provides information relating to the Company’s revenues from external customers for each product or group of similar products for the periods presented:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)20232022
Gasoline and distillates$8,232.6 $8,037.7

Chemicals140.2 207.0 
Lubricants91.7 89.7 
Total Revenues$9,285.5 $9,128.2 
The Company’s revenues are generated from the sale of refined products. These revenues are largely based on the current spot (market) prices of the products sold, which represent consideration specifically allocable to the products being sold on a given day, and the Company recognizes those revenues upon delivery and transfer of title to the products to our customers. The time at which delivery and transfer of title occurs is the point when the Company’s control of the products is transferred to the Company’s customers and when its performance obligation to its customers is fulfilled. Delivery and transfer of title are specifically agreed to between the Company and customers within the contracts. The Company also has contracts which contain fixed pricing, tiered pricing, minimum volume features with makeup periods, or other factors that have not materially been affected by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Deferred Revenue
The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received or are due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable. Deferred revenue was $73.5 million and $37.5 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Fluctuations in the deferred revenue balance are primarily driven by the timing and extent of cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations.
The Company’s payment terms vary by type and location of customers and the products offered. The period between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant (i.e. generally within two months). For certain products or services and customer types, the Company requires payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer.

The valuation methods used to measure financial instruments at fair value are as follows:
Money market funds categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices and included within Cash and cash equivalents.
The commodity contracts categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in an active market. The commodity contracts categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon future commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.
The derivatives included with inventory intermediation agreement obligations and the catalyst obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.
Renewable energy credit and emissions obligations primarily represent the Company’s liability for the purchase of (i) biofuel credits (primarily RINs in the U.S.) needed to satisfy its obligation to blend biofuels into the products the Company produces and (ii) emission credits under the AB 32 and similar programs (collectively, the cap-and-trade systems). To the degree the Company is unable to blend biofuels (such as ethanol and biodiesel) at percentages required under the biofuel programs, it must purchase biofuel credits to comply with these programs. Under the cap-and-trade systems, it must purchase emission credits to comply with these systems. The liability for environmental credits is in part based on the Company’s deficit for such credits as of the balance sheet date, if any, after considering any credits acquired, and is equal to the product of the credits deficit and the market price of these credits as of the balance sheet date. To the extent that the Company has a better estimate of the cost at which it settle its obligation, such as agreements to purchase RINs at prices other than the current spot price, the Company considers those costs in valuing the remaining obligation. The environmental credit obligations are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the Company measured at fair value using a market approach based on quoted prices from an independent pricing service.
When applicable, commodity contracts categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy consist of commodity price swap contracts that relate to forecasted purchases of crude oil for which quoted forward market prices are not readily available due to market illiquidity. The forward prices used to value these swaps wereare derived using broker quotes, prices from other third partythird-party sources and other available market based data.
The derivatives included with inventory intermediation agreement obligationscontingent consideration obligation at March 31, 2023 and the catalyst lease obligations areDecember 31, 2022 is categorized in Level 23 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair valueis estimated using a market approachdiscounted cash flow models based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets.

on management’s estimate of the future cash flows related to the earn-out periods.
Non-qualified pension plan assets are measured at fair value using a market approach based on published net asset values of mutual funds as a practical expedient. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016, $9,6422022, $19.1 million and $9,440,$18.6 million, respectively, were included within Deferred charges and other assets, net for these non-qualified pension plan assets.

(a)The estimated fair value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, was calculated based on the present value of future expected payments utilizing implied current market interest rates based on quoted prices of the senior secured notes andoutstanding senior notes.
(b) The estimated fair value approximates carrying value, categorized as a Level 2 measurement, as these borrowings bear interest based upon short-term floating market interest rates.
(c) Catalyst leasesfinancing arrangements are valued using a market approach based upon commodity prices for similar instruments quoted in active markets and are categorized as a Level 2 measurement. The Company has elected the fair value option for accounting for its catalyst lease repurchase obligations as the Company’s liability is directly impacted by the change in fair value of the underlying catalyst.
(d) As discussed in “Note 5 - Debt”, these notes became unsecured following the Collateral Fall-Away Event on May 30, 2017.

12. DERIVATIVES
The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain exposures to commodity price risk. The Company entered into the A&RThird Inventory Intermediation AgreementsAgreement that contain purchase obligations for certain volumes of crude oil, intermediates and refined products. The purchase obligations related to crude oil, intermediates and refined products under these agreements are derivative instruments that have been designated as fair value hedges in order to hedge the commodity price volatility of certain refinery inventory. The fair value of these purchase obligation derivatives is based on market prices of the underlying crude oil, intermediates and refined products. The level of activity for these derivatives is based on the level of operating inventories.
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 3,306,1542,180,628 and 1,945,994 barrels of crude oil and feedstocks outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, there were 1,321,528 barrels of intermediates and refined products (2,942,348(780,734 barrels at December 31, 2016)2022) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges. These volumes represent the notional value of the contract.
The Company also enters into economic hedges primarily consisting of commodity derivative contracts that are not designated as hedges and are used to manage price volatility in certain crude oil and feedstock inventories as well as crude oil, feedstock, and refined product sales or purchases. The objective in entering into economic hedges is consistent with the objectives discussed above for fair value hedges. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, there were 37,496,00018,941,000 barrels of crude oil and 8,163,00014,409,000 barrels of refined products (5,950,000(17,890,000 and 2,831,000,12,175,200, respectively, as of December 31, 2016)2022), outstanding under short and long term commodity derivative contracts not designated as hedges representing the notional value of the contracts.
The Company also uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risk associated with the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory environmental compliance programs. For such contracts that represent derivatives, the Company elects the normal purchase normal sale exception under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and therefore does not record them at fair value.

Overview
We are one of the largest independent petroleum refiners and suppliers of unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants and other petroleum products in the United States. We sell our products throughout the Northeast, Midwest, Gulf Coast and West Coast of the United States, as well as in other regions of the United States, Canada and Canada,Mexico and are able to ship products to other international destinations. As of September 30, 2017, weWe own and operate fivesix domestic oil refineries and related assets withassets. Our refineries have a combined processing capacity, known as throughput, of approximately 900,0001,000,000 barrels per day (“bpd”), and a weighted-average Nelson Complexity Index of 12.2.12.7 based on current operating conditions. The complexity and throughput capacity of our refineries are subject to change dependent upon configuration changes we make to respond to market conditions, as well as a result of investments made to improve our facilities and maintain compliance with environmental and governmental regulations. Our fivesix oil refineries are aggregated into one reportable segment.
Our fivesix refineries are located in Delaware City, Delaware, Paulsboro, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, New Orleans,Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Torrance,Martinez, California. Each of these refineriesrefinery is briefly described in the table below:

(1)Reflects operating conditions at each refinery as of the date of this filing. Changes in complexity and throughput capacity reflect the result of current market conditions, in addition to investments made to improve our facilities and maintain compliance with environmental and governmental regulations. Configurations at each of our refineries are evaluated periodically and updated accordingly.
(2) Reflects the typical crude and feedstocks and related sources utilized under normal operating conditions and prevailing market environments.
(3) Under normal operating conditions and prevailing market environments, our Nelson Complexity Index and throughput capacity for the Paulsboro refinery would be 13.1 and 180,000, respectively. As a result of the reconfiguration of our East Coast refineries in 2020, and subsequent restart of several idled processing units at the Paulsboro refinery in 2022, our Nelson Complexity Index and throughput capacity were adjusted.
We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF LLC and an indirect subsidiary of PBF Energy. PBF Finance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding. We are the parent company for PBF LLC’s refinery operating subsidiaries.
PBF GP serves as the general partner of PBFX. PBFX is an affiliate of ours. PBFX, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Energy and PBF LLC, owns or leases, operates, develops and acquires crude oil and refined products terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX engages in the receiving, handling, storage and transferring of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and intermediates from sources located throughout the United States and Canada for PBF Energy in support of its refineries, as well as for third-party customers. The majority of PBFX’s revenues are derived from long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with us, which include minimum volume commitments, for receiving, handling, storing and transferring crude oil, refined products, and natural gas. PBF Energy also has agreements with PBFX that establish fees for certain general and administrative services and operational and maintenance services provided by us to PBFX.

On November 30, 2022, PBF Energy, PBF LLC, PBFX Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF LLC, Riverlands Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of PBF LLC, PBFX, and PBF GP closed on a definitive agreement pursuant to which PBF Energy and PBF LLC acquired all of the publicly held common units in PBFX representing limited partner interests in the master liability project not already owned by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of PBF Energy and its affiliates (the “Merger Transaction”). Subsequent to closing on the Merger Transaction, PBFX became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Energy and PBF LLC.

Business Developments
Recent significant business developments affecting us are discussed below.
Renewable Diesel Facility
On February 16, 2023 we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement with Eni, to partner in a 50-50 joint venture, SBR, that will own the renewable diesel facility that is currently under construction at our Chalmette refinery (the “Renewable Diesel Facility”). The Renewable Diesel Facility will incorporate certain existing idled assets at the refinery, including an idle hydrocracker, along with a newly-constructed pre-treatment unit to establish a 20,000 bpd renewable diesel production facility. Upon consummation of the joint venture transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, Eni will contribute capital totaling $835.0 million, excluding working capital, plus up to an additional $50.0 million that is subject to the achievement of project milestones. As stipulated in the pending agreements with Eni, we will continue to manage project execution and serve as the operator of the facility once construction is complete. Closing of the joint venture transaction is currently estimated to be consummated in the second or third quarter of 2023. The Renewable Diesel Facility remains under construction and is expected to be producing renewable diesel, and other products, in the first half of 2023.

Factors Affecting Comparability Between Periods
Our results have been affected by the following events, the understanding of which will aid in assessing the comparability of our period to period financial performance and financial condition.

Senior Notes Offering
On May 30, 2017, we and PBF Finance issued $725.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). We used the net proceeds to fund the cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of our outstanding 8.25% senior secured notes due 2020 (the “2020 Senior Secured Notes”), to pay the related redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest for any 2020 Senior Secured Notes that remained outstanding after the completion of the Tender Offer, and for general corporate purposes. As described in “Note 5 - Debt”, upon the satisfaction and discharge of the 2020 Senior Secured Notes in connection with the closing of the Tender Offer and the redemption, the 2023 Senior Notes became unsecured and certain covenants were modified, as provided for in the indenture governing the 2023 Senior Notes and related documents.
Inventory Intermediation Agreements
On May 4, 2017 and September 8, 2017, we and our subsidiaries, DCR and PRC, entered into amendments to the inventory intermediation agreements (as amended in the second and third quarters of 2017, the "A&R Intermediation Agreements") with J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. “J. Aron”), pursuant to which certain terms of the existing inventory intermediation agreements were amended, including, among other things, pricing and an extension of the terms. As a result of the amendments (i) the A&R Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, us and PRC relating to the Paulsboro refinery extends the term to December 31, 2019, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to December 31, 2020 and (ii) the A&R Intermediation Agreement by and among J. Aron, us and DCR relating to the Delaware City refinery extends the term to July 1, 2019, which term may be further extended by mutual consent of the parties to July 1, 2020.
Torrance Acquisition
On July 1, 2016, we acquired from ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (“ExxonMobil”) and its subsidiary, Mobil Pacific Pipeline Company (together, the “Torrance Sellers”), the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets (collectively, the “Torrance Acquisition”). The Torrance refinery is strategically positioned in Southern California with advantaged logistics connectivity that offers flexible raw material sourcing and product distribution opportunities primarily in the California, Las Vegas and Phoenix area markets.
In addition to refining assets, the Torrance Acquisition included a number of high-quality logistics assets consisting of a sophisticated network of crude and products pipelines, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities. The most significant of the logistics assets is a 189-mile crude gathering and transportation system which delivers San Joaquin Valley crude oil directly from the field to the refinery. Additionally, included in the transaction were several pipelines which provide access to sources of crude oil including the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, as well as clean product outlets with a direct pipeline supplying jet fuel to the Los Angeles airport. The Torrance refinery also has crude and product storage facilities with approximately 8.6 million barrels of shell capacity.
The purchase price for the assets was approximately $521.4 million in cash after post-closing purchase price adjustments, plus final working capital of $450.6 million. The final purchase price and fair value allocation were completed as of June 30, 2017. During the measurement period, which ended in June 2017, adjustments were made to the Company’s preliminary fair value estimates related primarily to Property, plant and equipment and Other long-term liabilities reflecting the finalization of the Company’s assessment of the costs and duration of certain assumed pre-existing environmental obligations. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand, including proceeds from certain PBF Energy equity offerings, and borrowings under our asset based revolving credit agreement (“Revolving Loan”).
PNGPC Contribution Agreement
On February 15, 2017, PBFX entered into a contribution agreement (the “PNGPC Contribution Agreement”) between PBFX and PBF LLC. Pursuant to the PNGPC Contribution Agreement, we contributed to PBF LLC, which, in turn, contributed to PBFX’s wholly owned subsidiary PBFX Operating Company LLC (“PBFX Op Co”) all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Paulsboro Natural Gas Pipeline Company LLC (“PNGPC”). PNGPC owns and operates an existing interstate natural gas pipeline that runs under the Delaware River and terminates at our Paulsboro refinery. In August 2017, PBFX Op Co completed the construction of a new pipeline which replaced the existing pipeline and commenced services. In consideration for the PNGPC limited liability company interests, PBFX delivered to PBF LLC (i) an $11.6 million intercompany promissory note in favor of Paulsboro Refining Company LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours (the “Promissory Note”), (ii) an expansion rights and right of first refusal agreement in favor of PBF LLC with respect to the new pipeline and (iii)

an assignment and assumption agreement with respect to certain outstanding litigation involving PNGPC and the existing pipeline.
Chalmette Storage Tank Lease
On February 15, 2017, we and PBFX Op Co entered into a ten-year storage services agreement (the “Chalmette Storage Agreement”) and a twenty-year lease for the premises upon which a new tank at the Chalmette refinery (the “Chalmette Storage Tank”) will be located (the “Lease”). Additionally, we and PBFX entered into a project management agreement (the “Project Management Agreement”) pursuant to which PBFX, through PBFX Op Co, assumed construction of a crude oil storage tank at our Chalmette refinery, commencing upon the earlier of November 1, 2017 or the completion of construction of the Chalmette Storage Tank, which is currently expected to be completed in November 2017. The Lease can be extended by PBFX Op Co for two additional ten year terms. The Chalmette Storage Agreement can be extended by us for two additional five-year periods. Under the Chalmette Storage Agreement, PBFX will provide us with storage services in return for storage fees. The storage services require PBFX to accept, redeliver and store all products tendered by us in the tank and we will pay a monthly fee of $0.60 per barrel of shell capacity. The Lease can be extended by PBFX Op Co for two additional ten year periods.
TVPC Contribution Agreement
On August 31, 2016, PBFX entered into a contribution agreement (the “TVPC Contribution Agreement”) between PBFX and PBF LLC. Pursuant to the TVPC Contribution Agreement, PBF Holding distributed to PBF LLC, and PBFX acquired from PBF LLC, 50% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Torrance Valley Pipeline Company LLC (“TVPC”), whose assets consist of the 189-mile San Joaquin Valley Pipeline system, including the M55, M1 and M70 pipeline system, including 11 pipeline stations with storage capability and truck unloading capacity at two of the stations. Subsequent to the distribution of TVPC pursuant to the TVPC Contribution Agreement, PBF Holding deconsolidated TVPC and has recognized an equity investment in TVPC for its 50% noncontrolling interest.
Agreements with PBFX
PBFX is a fee-based, growth-oriented, publicly traded Delaware master limited partnership formed by our indirect parent company, PBF Energy, to own or lease, operate, develop and acquire crude oil, refined petroleum products and natural gas terminals, pipelines, storage facilities and similar logistics assets. PBFX engages in the receiving, handling, storage and transferring of crude oil, refined products, natural gas and intermediates from sources located throughout the United States and Canada for PBF Energy in support of certain of our refineries, as well as for third partythird-party customers.
On May 14, 2014, PBFX completed its initial public offering (the “PBFX Offering”). Beginning with the completion of the PBFX Offering, weWe have entered into a series of agreements with PBFX, including contribution, commercial and operational agreements. EachRefer to “Note 6 - Related Party Transactions” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for descriptions of these agreements and their impact to our operations is described in “Note 8 -operations.

Amended and Restated Revolving Loan

The Third Amended and Restated Revolving Loan is available to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As noted in “Note 2 - Acquisitions”, we took down an advance under our Revolving Loan to partially fund the Torrance Acquisition in 2016. The outstanding balance under our Revolving Loan was $350.0 million, $350.0 million and $550.0 million as of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

Rail Facility Revolving Credit Facility
Effective March 25, 2014, PBF Rail Logistics Company LLC (“PBF Rail”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, entered into a $250.0 million secured revolving credit agreement (the “Rail Facility”). The primary purpose of the Rail Facility was to fund the acquisition by PBF Rail of crude tank cars (the “Eligible Railcars”) before December 2015.
On December 22, 2016, the Rail Facility was terminated and replaced with the PBF Rail Term Loan (as described below).
PBF Rail Term Loan
On December 22, 2016, PBF Rail entered into a $35.0 million term loan (the “PBF Rail Term Loan”) with a bank previously party to the Rail Facility. The PBF Rail Term Loan amortizes monthly over its five year term and bears interest at the one month LIBOR plus the margin as defined in the credit agreement. As security for the PBF Rail Term Loan, PBF Rail pledged, among other things: (i) certain Eligible Railcars; (ii) the debt service reserve account; and (iii) our member interest in PBF Rail. Additionally, the PBF Rail Term Loan contains customary terms, events of default and covenants for a transaction of this nature. PBF Rail may at any time repay the PBF Rail Term Loan without penalty in the event that railcars collateralizing the loan are sold, scrapped or otherwise removed from the collateral pool.
The outstanding balance of the PBF Rail Term Loan was $30.0 million and $35.0 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Affiliate notes payable with PBF LLC and PBF Energy
Our long-term debt obligations may include outstanding affiliate notes payable with PBF LLC and PBF Energy. The affiliate notes have an interest rate of 2.5% and a five year term but may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, at the option of PBF Holding, without penalty or premium. Additional borrowings may be made by PBF Holding under such affiliate notes payable from time to time. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the affiliate notes were extended to 2021. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2016, PBF LLC converted outstanding affiliate notes payable from PBF Holding of $379.9 million to a capital contribution. In the first quarter of 2017, PBF LLC converted the full amount of outstanding affiliate notes payable from PBF Holding of $86.3 million to a capital contribution. As of September 30, 2017, PBF Holding had no outstanding affiliate notes payable with PBF Energy and PBF LLC ($86.3 million outstanding as of December 31, 2016).
Change in Presentation
As discussed in “Note 1 - Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation,” during the third quarter of 2017, we determined that we would revise the presentation of certain line items on our consolidated statements of operations to enhance our disclosure under the requirements of Rule 5-03 of Regulation S-X. The revised presentation is comprised of the inclusion of a subtotal within costs and expenses referred to as “Cost of sales” and the reclassification of total depreciation and amortization expense between such amounts attributable to cost of sales and other operating costs and expenses. The amount of depreciation and amortization expense that is presented separately within the “Cost of Sales” subtotal represents depreciation and amortization of refining and logistics assets that are integral to the refinery production process.
The historical comparative information has been revised to conform to the current presentation. This revised presentation does not have an effect on our historical consolidated income from operations or net income, nor does it have any impact on our consolidated balance sheets, statements of comprehensive income or statements of cash flows.

Overview— Net income was $526.1$469.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 compared to $65.1net loss of $18.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2022.
Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 were positively impacted by a special itemitems consisting of a non-cash lowerchange in fair value of cost or market (“LCM”) inventory adjustmentcontingent consideration of approximately $265.1$16.3 million related to changes in the estimated fair value of the earn-out liability associated with the acquisition of the Martinez refinery (the “Martinez Contingent Consideration”), and a gain on the sale of a parcel of land at our Torrance refinery of $1.7 million. Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2022 were positivelynegatively impacted by an LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $104.0 million. The LCM inventory adjustments were recorded duea special item related to movementsa change in the pricefair value of crude oil and refined products in the periods presented. Martinez Contingent Consideration of $50.1 million.

Excluding the impact of these special items, when comparing our results were positively impactedto the three months ended March 31, 2022, we experienced an increase in the demand for our refined products, evidenced by higher average throughput volumes and barrels sold at the majority of our refineries, and higheras well as overall stronger refining margins due to favorable movements in crack spreads realized at each ofand crude oil differentials. These improving metrics have positively impacted our refineries, which were impacted by the hurricane-related reduction in refining throughput in the Gulf Coast regionrevenues, gross margin and tightening product inventories, specifically distillates. Notably, we benefited from the improved operating performance of our Chalmette and Torrance refineries.income.
Revenues— Revenues totaled $5.5$9.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 compared to $4.5$9.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2022, an increase of approximately $1.0$0.2 billion, or 21.5%2.2%. Revenues per barrel were $63.75$101.86 and $62.32$107.42 for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and 2016,2022, respectively, an increasea decrease of 2.3%5.2% directly related to higherlower hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 343,700326,400 bpd, 160,60093,200 bpd, 200,400169,100 bpd and 145,000262,500 bpd, respectively. For the

three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2022, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 315,900263,100 bpd, 165,300136,700 bpd, 165,600163,100 bpd and 139,500269,700 bpd, respectively. Our East Coast and Gulf Coast refineries’ throughput rates increased in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016 as a result of improved operational performance following the completion of planned turnarounds at our Delaware City and Chalmette refineries in the first and second quarters of 2017, respectively. Our West Coast refinery underwent its first major turnaround under our ownership for a majority of the second quarter in 2017, following which its throughput rates in the third quarter of 2017 were significantly above the same period of 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, theMarch 31, 2023, total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 359,700381,900 bpd, 167,300115,700 bpd, 233,400178,600 bpd and 173,300336,700 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, theMarch 31, 2022, total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 345,800318,700 bpd, 177,200139,800 bpd, 209,300175,700 bpd and 177,100310,000 bpd, respectively.
Overall average throughput rates were higher in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, despite turnaround activity at several refineries during the three months ended March 31, 2023. We plan to continue operating our refineries based on demand and current market conditions. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside the refinery.our refineries.
Consolidated Gross Margin— GrossConsolidated gross margin including refinery operating expenses and depreciation, totaled $604.1$523.9 million or $7.73 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023, compared to $149.0$146.2 million or $2.06 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2022, an increase of approximately $455.1$377.7 million. Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $1,064.0$1,405.8 million, or $13.61$18.35 per barrel of throughput ($798.9 million or $10.22 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items), for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 compared to $604.4$850.7 million, or $8.36$11.36 per barrel of throughput ($500.4 million or $6.92 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items) for the three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2022, an increase of approximately $459.7 million or $298.6 million excluding special items.
Excluding the impact of special items,$555.1 million. Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin increased due to improvedfavorable movements in certain crack spreads and crude oil differentials and higher throughput rates involumes and barrels sold at the East Coast, Gulf Coastmajority of our refineries. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and West Coast and reducedMarch 31, 2022, our margin calculations were not impacted by special items.
Additionally, our results continue to be impacted by significant costs to comply with the RFS. Costs to comply with our obligation under theTotal RFS totaled $83.4compliance costs were $181.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 compared to $94.7$194.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. In addition, gross margin and gross refining margin were positively impacted by a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $265.1 million on a net basis resulting from an increase in crude oil and refined product prices in comparison to the prices at the end of the second quarter of 2017. The non-cash LCM adjustment increased gross margin and gross refining margin by approximately $104.0 million in the third quarter of 2016.March 31, 2022.
Average industry refining margins in the Mid-Continent were strongerfavorable during the three months ended September 30, 2017 asMarch 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2016. The WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $18.82 per barrel, or 38.0% higher, in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared2022, primarily due to $13.64 per barrel in the same period in 2016. Our margins were unfavorably impacted by our refinery specific crude slate in the Mid-Continent which was impacted by a declining WTI/Bakken differential and a declining WTI/Syncrude differential, which averaged a premium of $1.95 per barrel during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a premium of $0.95 per barrel in the same period of 2016.
On the East Coast, the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $18.12 per barrel, or 40.0% higher, in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $12.94 per barrel in the same period in 2016. The Dated Brent/WTI differential and Dated Brent/Maya differential were $2.95 and $1.88 higher, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, partially offset by adverse movements in the WTI/Bakken differential, which was approximately $2.10 per barrel less favorable (a premium of $0.69 in 2017 as compared to a discount of $1.41 in 2016) in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.
Gulf Coast industryincreased refining margins improved significantly during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was $16.69 per barrel, or 45.0% higher, in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $11.51 per barrel in the same period in 2016. Crude differentials weakened with the WTI/LLS differential averaging a premiumresult of $3.49

per barrel during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a premium of $1.65 per barrel in the same period of 2016.
Additionally, we benefited from improvements in the West Coast industry refining margins during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $20.66 per barrel, or 32.4% higher, in the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $15.61 per barrel in the same period in 2016. Partially offsetting the improved crack spreads, crude differentials weakened with the WTI/ANS differential averaging a premium of $3.86 per barrel during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a discount of $0.23 per barrel in the same period of 2016.sustained demand and global supply disruptions.
Favorable movements in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in lower crude costs and positively impact our earnings while reductions in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in higher crude costs and negatively impact our earnings.

Margins on the Gulf Coast were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a weakened WTI/LLS differential, which averaged a premium of $2.93 per barrel for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to a premium of $2.28 per barrel in the same period of 2022.
On the West Coast, the ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $38.45 per barrel, or 17.1% higher, in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $32.84 per barrel in the same period in 2022. Additionally (West Coast) 3-2-1 industry crack spread was $39.16 per barrel, or 33.2% higher, in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $29.39 per barrel in the same period in 2022. Our margins on the West Coast were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate by a weakening WTI/ANS differential, which averaged a premium of $3.04 per barrel for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to a premium of $0.92 per barrel in the same period of 2022.
Operating Expenses— Operating expenses totaled $389.6$749.0 million, or $4.98$9.78 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 compared to $404.0$595.6 million, or $5.59$7.95 per barrel of throughput, for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decreaseMarch 31, 2022, an increase of $14.5approximately $153.4 million, or 3.6%25.8%. The decreaseincrease in operating expenses was mainly attributable to lower outside services costs asoverall increases in natural gas volume and price across our refineries when compared to the same period in 2016 across all of our refineries partially offset by2022. Additionally, we experienced higher maintenance and operational costs due to scheduled turnarounds and increased throughput.production.
General and Administrative Expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $54.7$57.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 compared to $39.9$49.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2022, an increase of approximately $14.8$7.8 million or 37.0%15.8%. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 over the same period of 2016 primarily relates to increases in employee related expenses of $21.5 million driven by higher incentive compensation in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016. This increase was partially offset by lower costs associated with acquisition and integration related activities which were $7.0 million lower in the current quarter as compared to the same quarter of 2016. Our general and administrative expenses were higher in comparison to the prior year due to an increase in information technology costs and outside service costs in support of integration related activities. General and administrative costs are comprised of the personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries.refineries and related logistics assets.
(Gain) Loss on Sale of Assets— There was a de minimis loss on salenet gain of assets$1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 relatingMarch 31, 2023 related primarily to non-operating refinery assets compared tothe sale of a parcel of land at our Torrance refinery.

Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were net positively impacted by special items. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred a positive special item in the form of a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $97.9 million, which was partially offset by a special item related to debt extinguishment costs associated with the early retirement of our 2020 Senior Secured Notes of $25.5 million. Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were positively impacted by an LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $320.8 million. The LCM inventory adjustments were recorded due to movements in the price of crude oil and refined products in the periods presented. Excluding the impact of these special items, our results were positively impacted by higher throughput volumes at the majority of our refineries and higher crack spreads realized at each of our refineries, which were impacted by the hurricane-related reduction in refining throughput in the Gulf Coast region and tightening product inventories, specifically distillates, as well as lower costs to comply with the RFS. Notably, we benefited from the improved operating performance of our Chalmette and Torrance refineries.

Revenues— Revenues totaled $15.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $11.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of approximately $4.1 billion, or 36.5%. Revenues per barrel were $62.34 and $57.25 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 8.9% directly related to higher hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 330,100 bpd, 146,500 bpd, 182,600 bpd and 126,900 bpd, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 327,900 bpd, 165,700 bpd, 171,300 bpd and 139,600 bpd, respectively. The throughput rates at our East Coast refineries were substantially unchanged in 2017 compared to 2016. Our West Coast refinery was not acquired until the beginning of the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in throughput rates at our West Coast refinery in 2017 compared to 2016 is primarily due to planned downtime at our Torrance refinery for its first significant turnaround under our ownership, which was completed early in the third quarter of 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 358,000 bpd, 160,600 bpd, 221,700 bpd and 155,200 bpd, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the total barrels sold at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries averaged approximately 366,000 bpd, 175,700 bpd, 209,000 bpd and 177,100 bpd, respectively. Total refined product barrels sold were higher than throughput rates, reflecting sales from inventory as well as sales and purchases of refined products outside the refinery.

Gross Margin— Gross margin, including refinery operating expenses and depreciation, totaled $506.6 million, or $2.36 per barrel of throughput, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $405.9

million, or $2.09 per barrel of throughput, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $100.7 million. Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $1,912.9 million, or $8.91 per barrel of throughput ($1,814.9 million or $8.46 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items), for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1,529.6 million, or $7.85 per barrel of throughput ($1,208.7 million or $6.20 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of approximately $383.3 million or $606.2 million excluding special items.
Excluding the impact of special items, gross margin and gross refining margin increased due to improved crack spreads for each of our refineries, reduced costs to comply with the RFS and positive margin contributions from our Torrance refinery following its first significant turnaround under our ownership, which was completed early in the third quarter of 2017. Costs to comply with our obligation under the RFS totaled $203.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $251.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. In addition, gross margin and gross refining margin were positively impacted by a non-cash LCM inventory adjustment of approximately $97.9 million on a net basis resulting from an increase in crude oil and refined product prices in comparison to the prices at year end. The non-cash LCM inventory adjustment increased gross margin and gross refining margin by approximately $320.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Average industry refining margins in the Mid-Continent were stronger during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $14.70 per barrel, or 12.5% higher, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $13.07 per barrel in the same period in 2016. Our margins were unfavorably impacted by our refinery specific crude slate in the Mid-Continent which was impacted by a declining WTI/Bakken differential partially offset by an improving WTI/Syncrude differential, which averaged a premium of $1.86 per barrel during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a premium of $2.67 per barrel in the same period of 2016.
On the East Coast, the Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $14.84 per barrel, or 12.6% higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $13.18 per barrel in the same period in 2016. The Dated Brent/Maya differential was $0.80 lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The Dated Brent/WTI differential was $1.83 higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, partially offset by a narrowing WTI/Bakken differential, which was approximately $0.95 per barrel less favorable in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.
Gulf Coast industry refining margins improved during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was $13.75 per barrel, or 32.9% higher, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $10.35 per barrel in the same period in 2016. Crude differentials slightly decreased with the WTI/LLS differential averaging a premium of $2.41 per barrel during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a premium of $1.79 per barrel in the same period of 2016.
Additionally, we benefited from improvements in the West Coast industry refining margins during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The ANS (West Coast) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $18.78 per barrel, or 9.1% higher, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $17.22 per barrel in the same period in 2016. Partially offsetting the improved crack spreads, crude differentials weakened with the WTI/ANS differential averaging a premium of $2.82 per barrel during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a premium of $0.17 per barrel in the same period of 2016. As the Torrance refinery was not acquired until the beginning of the third quarter of 2016, we did not benefit from the contribution of this refinery for the full nine months of the prior year.
Favorable movements in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in lower crude costs and positively impact our earnings while reductions in these benchmark crude differentials typically result in higher crude costs and negatively impact our earnings.

Operating Expenses— Operating expenses totaled $1,225.0 million, or $5.71 per barrel of throughput, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $972.2 million, or $4.98 per barrel of throughput, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $252.8 million, or 26.0%. The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to an increase of $237.3 million in costs associated with the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, excluding our Torrance refinery, increased due to higher maintenance and utility costs across all our other refineries.
General and Administrative Expenses— General and administrative expenses totaled $130.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $111.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of approximately $18.8 million or 16.9%. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 over the same period of 2016 primarily relates to increased employee related expenses of $28.3 million driven by higher incentive compensation costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 as well as higher employee headcount. These increases were partially offset by lower costs associated with the acquisition and integration related activities which were approximately $10.1 million lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of the personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries.
Loss on Sale of Assets— There was a loss of $0.9 million on sale of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 relating to non-operating refinery assets as compared to a loss of $11.4 million on the sale of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 relating to the sale of non-operating refinery assets.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $191.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (including $181.2 million recorded within Cost of sales) compared to $155.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 (including $151.5 million recorded within Cost of sales), an increase of approximately $35.7 million. The increase was a result of additional depreciation expense associated with the assets acquired in the Torrance Acquisition and a general increase in our fixed asset base due to capital projects and turnarounds completed since the third quarter of 2016.
Change in Fair Value of Catalyst Leases— Change in the fair value of catalyst leases represented a loss of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a loss of $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These losses relate to the change in value of the precious metals underlying the sale and leaseback of our refineries’ precious metals catalyst, which we are obligated to repurchase at fair market value on the lease termination dates.
Debt extinguishment costs - Debt extinguishment costs of $25.5 million incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 relate to nonrecurring charges associated with debt refinancing activity calculated based on the difference between the carrying value of the 2020 Senior Secured Notes on the date that they were reacquired and the amount for which they were reacquired. There were no such costs in the same period of 2016.
Interest Expense, net— Interest expense totaled $92.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $98.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately $5.7 million. This net decrease is attributable to lower interest expense on a portion of our senior notes that were refinanced in May 2017 (see “Note 5 - Debt” for additional details). Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt and notes payable, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metals catalyst, financing costs associated with the A&R Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils, and the amortization of deferred financing costs.
Income Tax Expense— As PBF Holding is a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, our consolidated financial statements generally do not include a benefit or provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, apart from the income tax attributable to two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the Chalmette Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2015 and our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, PBF Ltd.. The two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the Chalmette Acquisition are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes.

Income tax expense was $2.0 million and $29.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included a charge of $30.7 million related to a correction of prior periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”Non-GAAP”). These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP,accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.
Special Items
The non-GAAPNon-GAAP measures presented include EBITDA excluding special items and gross refining margin excluding special items. The specialSpecial items for the periods presented relate to an LCM inventory adjustmentnet changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and debt extinguishment costs (as further explained in “Notesgain on land sale. See “Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more details on page 60).all special items disclosed. Although we believe that non-GAAPNon-GAAP financial measures, excluding the impact of special items, provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the results and performance of our business and allow for helpful period-over-period comparisons, such non-GAAPNon-GAAP measures should only be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Gross Refining Margin and Gross Refining Margin Excluding Special Items
Gross refining margin is defined as consolidated gross margin excluding refinery depreciation and operating expenses related to the refineries.expenses. We believe both gross refining marginand gross refining margin excluding special items are important measures of operating performance and provide useful information to investors because they are helpful metric comparisons to the industry refining margin benchmarks, as the refining margin benchmarks do not include a charge for refinery operating expenses and depreciation. In order to assess our operating performance, we compare our gross refining margin (revenue(revenues less cost of products and other) to industry refining margin benchmarks and crude oil prices as defined in the table below.
Neither gross refining margin nor gross refining margin excluding special items should be considered an alternative to consolidated gross margin, operating income from operations, net cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Gross refining margin and gross refining margin excluding special items presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently.

Measures.
EBITDA, EBITDA Excluding Special Items and Adjusted EBITDA
Our management uses EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization), EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to readily view operating trends, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations, and in communications with our boardBoard of directors,Directors, creditors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance. Our outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money and other contractual obligations also include similar measures as a basis for certain covenants under those agreements which may differ from the Adjusted EBITDA definition described below.
EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and our computation of EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in our industry. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA contains some, but not all, adjustments that are taken into account in the calculation of the components of various covenants in the agreements governing our senior notes and other credit facilities. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to operating income (loss)from operations or net income (loss) as measures of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA are not presented as, and should not be considered, an alternative to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before adjustments for items such as equity-basedstock-based compensation expense, gains (losses) from certain derivative activities and contingent consideration, the non-cash change in the deferralfair value of gross profit related tocatalyst obligations, net change in the salefair value of contingent consideration and certain finished products, the write down of inventory to the LCM, and debt extinguishment costs related to refinancing activities.other non-cash items. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA also have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include that EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA:

do not reflect depreciation expense or our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
do not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
do not reflect realized and unrealized gains and losses from certain hedging activities, which may have a substantial impact on our cash flow;
do not reflect certain other non-cash income and expenses; and
exclude income taxes that may represent a reduction in available cash.

Notes to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following notes are applicable to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures above: 
(1)Special items: In accordance with GAAP, we are required to state our inventories at the lower of cost or market. Our inventory cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory valuation methodology, in which the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost of sales and inventories are valued at base layer acquisition costs. Market is determined based on an assessment of the current estimated replacement cost and net realizable selling price of the inventory. In periods where the market price of our inventory declines substantially, cost values of inventory may exceed market values. In such instances, we record an adjustment to write down the value of inventory to market value in accordance with GAAP. In subsequent periods, the value of inventory is reassessed and an LCM inventory adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between the prior period and the current period.
The following table includes(1)Special items:
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration, net - During the lowerthree months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a change in fair value of cost or market inventory reserve as of each date presented (in thousands):

Additionally, during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, we recorded debt extinguishment costs of $25.5 million related to the redemptiona change in fair value of the 2020 Senior Secured Notes. This nonrecurring chargeMartinez Contingent Consideration which decreased both operating income from operations and net income by $25.5 million for$50.1 million.
Gain on Land Sales - During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2023, we recorded a gain on the sale of a separate parcel of real property acquired as part of the Torrance refinery, but not part of the refinery itself, which increased income from operations and net income by $1.7 million. There were no such costsgains in the three months ended September 30, 2017 nor in either the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability under our credit facilities,facility, as more fully described below. We believe that our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our and our subsidiaries’ capital expenditure,expenditures, working capital distribution paymentsneeds, future distributions and debt service requirements for the next twelve months. However, our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations depends, in part, on petroleum oil market pricing and general economic, political and other factors beyond our control. WeAs of March 31, 2023, we are in compliance as of September 30, 2017 with all of the covenants, including financial covenants, in all of our debt agreements.

Working capital has decreased primarily as a result of capital expenditures, including turnaround costs, partially offset by earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Capital Spending
Net capitalCapital spending was $583.9$380.4 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017, whichMarch 31, 2023 and was primarily includedcomprised of annual maintenance, turnaround costs at our Delaware City, Chalmette, Torrance and Martinez refineries and spending related to our Renewable Diesel Facility at the Chalmette refinery. Capital spending also included costs associated with safety related enhancements and facility improvements at theour refineries. WeExcluding capital expenditures related to our Renewable Diesel Facility, we currently expect to spend an aggregate of approximately $600.0$700.0 million in net capital expendituresto $750.0 million during the full year 2017full-year 2023 for facility improvements and refinery maintenance and turnarounds, the majority of which have been completed as of September 30, 2017. Significant capital spending for the full year 2017 has included turnarounds for the FCC at our Delaware City refinery, several major process units at our Torrance refinery and the Chalmette refinery’s crude and ancillary units, as well as expenditures to meet Tier 3environmental, regulatory and safety requirements.
The Renewable Diesel Facility remains under construction and is expected to be producing renewable diesel, and other products, in the first half of 2023. During the first quarter of 2023, we invested approximately $157.9 million in capital related to the project. We currently anticipate remaining capital expenditures to complete the project to range from $100.0 million to $150.0 million.
Crude and Feedstock Supply Agreements
Certain of our purchases of crude oil under our agreements with foreign national oil companies require that we post letters of credit, if open terms are exceeded, and arrange for shipment. We pay for the crude when invoiced, at which time theany applicable letters of credit are lifted. OurWe have a contract with Saudi Arabian Oil Company (“Saudi Aramco”) pursuant to which we have been purchasing up to approximately 100,000 bpd of crude and feedstockoil from Saudi Aramco that is processed at our Paulsboro refinery. In connection with the acquisition of the Chalmette refinery we entered into a contract with Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (“PDVSA”) for the supply agreements with PDVSA provide that theof 40,000 to 60,000 bpd of crude oil that can be processed at any of our East andor Gulf Coast refineries. We have not sourced crude oil under this agreement since 2017 when PDVSA suspended deliveries due to the parties’ inability to agree to mutually acceptable payment terms and because of U.S. government sanctions against PDVSA. Notwithstanding the suspension, the U.S. government sanctions imposed against PDVSA and Venezuela prevented us from purchasing crude oil under this agreement. In connection with the closing of the acquisition of the Torrance Acquisition,refinery, we entered into a crude supply agreement with ExxonMobilExxon Mobil Oil Corporation (“ExxonMobil”) for up to deliverapproximately 60,000 bpd of crude oil tothat can be processed at our Torrance refinery. In February 2023, ExxonMobil assigned its interest in this crude supply agreement to Green Gate San Ardo LLC. We currently purchase all of our crude and feedstock needs independently from a variety of suppliers on the spot market or through term agreements for our Delaware City and Toledo refineries.
We currently have various crude supply agreements with terms through 2025 with Shell Oil Products for approximately 145,000 bpd, in the aggregate, to support our West Coast and Mid-Continent refinery operations. In addition, we have certain offtake agreements for our West Coast system with the same counterparty for clean products with varying terms up to 15 years.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks, including changes in commodity prices and interest rates. Our primary commodity price risk is associated with the difference between the prices we sell our refined products and the prices we pay for crude oil and other feedstocks. We may use derivative instruments to manage the risks from changes in the prices of crude oil and refined products, natural gas, interest rates, or to capture market opportunities.
Commodity Price Risk
Our earnings, cash flow and liquidity are significantly affected by a variety of factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, other feedstocks, refined products and natural gas. The supply of and demand for these commodities depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, planned and unplanned downtime in refineries, pipelines and production facilities, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive and alternative fuels, and the extent of government regulation. As a result, the prices of these commodities can be volatile. Our revenues fluctuate significantly with movements in industry refined product prices, our cost of sales fluctuates significantly with movements in crude oil and feedstock prices and our operating expenses fluctuate with movements in the price of natural gas. We manage our exposure to these commodity price risks through our supply and offtake agreements as well as through the use of various commodity derivative instruments.
We may use non-trading derivative instruments to manage exposure to commodity price risks associated with the purchase or sale of crude oil and feedstocks, finished products and natural gas outside of our supply and offtake agreements. The derivative instruments we use include physical commodity contracts and exchange-traded and over-the-counter financial instruments. We mark-to-market our commodity derivative instruments and recognize the changes in their fair value in our statements of operations.
At September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016,2022, we had gross open commodity derivative contracts representing 45.733.4 million barrels and 8.830.1 million barrels, respectively, with an unrealized net gain of $28.4 million and unrealized net loss of $5.0 million and $3.5$13.9 million, respectively. The open commodity derivative contracts as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 expire at various times during 20172023 and 2018.2024.
We carry inventories of crude oil, intermediates and refined products (“hydrocarbon inventories”) on our balance sheet,Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the values of which are subject to fluctuations in market prices. Our hydrocarbon inventories totaled approximately 35.133.9 million barrels and 29.432.8 million barrels at September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016,2022, respectively. The average cost of our hydrocarbon inventories was approximately $77.17$80.09 and $80.50$80.04 per barrel on a LIFO basis at September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016, respectively, excluding2022, respectively. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the impactreplacement value of LCM inventory adjustments of approximately $498.0 million and $596.0 million, respectively.exceeded the LIFO carrying value. If market prices of our inventory decline to a level below our average cost, we may be required to further write down the carrying value of our hydrocarbon inventories to market.
Our predominant variable operating cost is energy, which is comprised primarily of natural gas and electricity. We are therefore sensitive to movements in natural gas prices. Assuming normal operating conditions, we annually consume a total of approximately 68expect our annual consumption to range from 75 million to 95 million MMBTUs of natural gas amongst our five refineries as of September 30, 2017.six refineries. Accordingly, a $1.00 per MMBTU change in natural gas prices would increase or decrease our natural gas costs by approximately $68.0$75.0 million to $95.0 million.

Compliance Program Price Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to our obligations to buy and the volatility in the price of credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory compliance programs, which includes RINs, required to comply with the RFS. Our overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of our domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by the EPA.Environmental Protection Agency. To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RINs obligation, we must purchase RINs on the open market. To mitigate the impact of thisthe market risk relating to our obligations on our results of operations and cash flows, we may elect to purchase RINs when the priceor other environmental credits as part of these instruments is deemed favorable.our liability management strategy.
In addition, we are exposed to risks associated with complying with federal and state legislative and regulatory measures to address greenhouse gasGHG and other emissions. Requirements to reduce emissions could result in increased costs to operate and maintain our facilities as well as implement and manage new emission controls and programs put in place. Compliance with such emission standards may require the purchase of emission credits or similar instruments.
Certain of these compliance contracts or instruments qualify as derivative instruments. For example, AB32 in California requirescertain of these contracts, we elect the state to reduce its GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.normal purchase normal sale exception under Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging, for such instruments, and therefore do not record these contracts at their fair value.
Interest Rate Risk
TheCurrently, the maximum availabilitycommitment under our Revolving LoanCredit Facility is $2.64$2.85 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving LoanCredit Facility bear interest either at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at Adjusted LIBORthe Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin, all as defined in the Revolving Loan.Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2023, we had no outstanding balance in variable interest debt. If this facility was fully drawn, a 1.0% change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $26.4$17.7 million annually.
In addition, the PBF Rail Term Loan, which bears interest at a variable rate, had an outstanding principal balance of $30.0 million at September 30, 2017. A 1.0% change in the interest rate would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $0.3 million annually, assuming the current outstanding principal balance on the PBF Rail Term Loan remained outstanding.
We also have interest rate exposure in connection with our A&RThird Inventory Intermediation AgreementsAgreement under which we pay a time value of money charge based on LIBOR.
Credit Risk
We are subject to risk of losses resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our counterparties. We continue to closely monitor the creditworthiness of customers to whom we grant credit and establish credit limits in accordance with our credit policy.

The penalty assessment seeks $460,200 in penalties and $69,030 in cost recovery for DNREC’s expenses associated with investigation of the incidents. We dispute the amount of the penalty assessment and allegations made in the order, and are in discussions with DNREC to resolve the assessment. It is possible that DNREC will assess a penalty in this matter but any such amount is not expected to be material to us.
As of November 1, 2015, we acquired Chalmette Refining, which was in discussions with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (“LDEQ”) to resolve self-reported deviations from refinery operations relating to certain Clean Air Act Title V permit conditions, limits and other requirements. LDEQ commenced an enforcement action against Chalmette Refining on November 14, 2014 by issuing a Consolidated Compliance Order and Notice of Potential Penalty (the “Order”) covering deviations from 2009 and 2010. Chalmette Refining and LDEQ subsequently entered into a dispute resolution agreement, the enforcement of which has been suspended while negotiations are ongoing, which may include the resolution of deviations outside the periods covered by the Order. In February 2017, Chalmette Refining and the LDEQ met to resolve the issues under the Order, including the assessment of an administrative penalty against Chalmette Refining. Chalmette Refining and the LDEQ are negotiating a settlement agreement with administrative penalties of approximately $0.7 million. Once the settlement agreement is finalized, it is subject to circulated for notice and public comment for a 45-day period and must undergo a review by the Louisiana attorney general’s office.
On December 23, 2016, the Delaware City refinery received a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) from DNREC concerning a potential violation of the DNREC order authorizing the shipment of crude oil by barge from the refinery. The NOV alleges that DCR made shipments to locations other than the Paulsboro refinery in violation of the order and requests certain additional information. On February 7, 2017, DCR responded to the NOV. On March 10, 2017, DNREC issued an approximately $0.2 million fine in a Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order to the Delaware City refinery for violating the 2013 Secretary’s Order. DNREC determined that the Delaware City refinery had violated the order by failing to make timely and full disclosure to DNREC about the nature and extent of those shipments, and had misrepresented the number of shipments that went to other facilities. The penalty assessment and Secretary’s Order conclude that the 2013 Secretary’s Order was violated by the refinery by shipping crude oil from the Delaware City terminal to three locations other than the Paulsboro refinery, on 15 days in 2014, making a total of 17 separate barge shipments containing approximately 35.7 million gallons of crude oil in total. On April 28, 2017, DCR appealed the Notice of Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order. The hearing of the appeal is scheduled for February 2018. To the extent that the penalty and Secretary’s Order are upheld, there will not be a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On December 28, 2016, DNREC issued a Coastal Zone Act permit (the “Ethanol Permit”) to DCR allowing the utilization of existing tanks and existing marine loading equipment at their existing facilities to enable denatured ethanol to be loaded from storage tanks to marine vessels and shipped to offsite facilities. On January 13, 2017, the issuance of the Ethanol Permit was appealed by two environmental groups. On February 27, 2017, the Coastal Zone Industrial Board held a public hearing and dismissed the appeal, determining that the appellants did not have standing. The final opinion and order of the Board was issued March 16, 2017. The appellants filed an appeal of the Board’s decision with the Delaware Superior Court on March 30, 2017. The filing of briefs has been scheduled for October and November 2017.
On October 19, 2017, the Delaware City refinery received approval from DNREC for the construction and operation of the ethanol marketing project to allow for a combined total loading of up to 10,000 bpd, on an annual average basis, of ethanol on to marine vessels at the marine piers and the terminal truck loading rack, subject to certain operational and emissions limitations as well as other conditions. On the same date, Delaware City Logistics Company LLC received DNREC approval for the construction of (i) four additional loading arms for each of lanes 4, 10 and 11 for purposes of loading ethanol at its truck loading rack and (ii) a vapor vacuum control system for

loading lanes connected to the existing vapor recovery unit located at its terminal in Delaware City. This approval is also subject to certain operational and emission limitations as well as other conditions.
On February 3, 2011, the EPA sent a request for information pursuant to Section 114 of the Clean Air Act to the Paulsboro refinery with respect to compliance with EPA standards governing flaring. On July 13, 2017 the U.S. Department of Justice filed with the Court the motion to enter the consent decree. On September 19, 2017, the Court approved the consent decree and in connection therewith the Paulsboro refinery has paid a penalty of $0.2 million.
In connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, we assumed certain pre-existing environmental liabilities related to certain environmental remediation obligations to address existing soil and groundwater contamination and monitoring activities, which reflect the estimated cost of the remediation obligations. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets, we purchased a ten year,ten-year, $100.0 million environmental insurance policy to insure against unknown environmental liabilities. Furthermore, in connection with
On April 17, 2019, we received a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) from the acquisition, we assumed responsibility for certain specified environmental matters that occurred prior to our ownership of the refinery and logistics assets, including specified incidents and/or NOVs issued by regulatory agencies in various years before the Company’s ownership, including the Southern CaliforniaSouth Coast Air Quality Management District (“SCAQMD”) and the Divisionrelating to Title V deviations alleged to have occurred in second half of Occupational Safety and Health of the State of California (“Cal/OSHA”). Following the closing of the acquisition, further NOVs were issued by2018. In May 2022, the SCAQMD Cal/OSHA,requested that we present a settlement proposal to resolve the City of Torrance, and the Torrance Fire Department. No settlement or penalty demand in excess of $0.1 million has been made or received with respect to these notices. It is reasonably possible that SCAQMD, Cal/OSHA and/or the City of Torrance will assess penalties in the other matters in excess of $0.1 million but any such amount is not expected to be material to us, individually or in the aggregate.
On September 2, 2011, prior to our ownership of the Chalmette refinery, the plaintiff in Vincent Caruso, et al. v. Chalmette Refining, L.L.C., filed an action on behalf of himself and other Louisiana residents who live or own property in St. Bernard Parish and Orleans Parish and whose property was allegedly contaminated and who allegedly suffered any personal or property damages as a result of an emission of spent catalyst, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from the Chalmette refinery on September 6, 2010. Plaintiffs claim to have suffered injuries, symptoms, and property damage as a result of the release. Plaintiffs seek to recover unspecified damages, interest and costs. In August 2015, there was a mini-trial for four plaintiffs for property damage relating to home and vehicle cleaning. On April 12, 2016, the trial court rendered judgment limiting damages ranging from $100 to $500 for home cleaning and $25 to $75 for vehicle cleaning to the four plaintiffs. The trial court found Chalmette Refining and co-defendant Eaton Corporation (“Eaton”), to be solidarily liable for the damages. Chalmette Refining and Eaton filed an appeal in August 2016 of the judgment on the mini-trial.NOV. On June 28, 2017,16, 2022, we presented a settlement offer of $456,820 to settle the appellate court unanimously reversed the judgment awarding damages to the plaintiffs.NOV. On July 12, 2017, the plaintiffs filed for a rehearing of the appellate court judgment, which was denied on July 31, 2017. As a result of the appellate court’s judgment, the potential amount of the claims is not determinable. Depending upon the ultimate class size and the nature of the claims, the outcome may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On February 14, 2017, the plaintiff in Adam Trotter v. ExxonMobil Corp., ExxonMobil Oil Corp., ExxonMobil Refining and Supply Company, et. al., filed a civil action against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Southwest District, claiming public nuisance, battery, a violation of civil rights under 42 U.S.C. §1983, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and strict liability in tort and injuries and symptoms resulting from the February 18, 2015 electrostatic precipitator (“ESP”) explosion at the Torrance Refinery which was then owned and operated by Exxon. The City of Torrance and22, 2022, the SCAQMD are also named as defendants inpresented a counter proposal of $1.2 million. On August 25, 2022, we presented a counter proposal of $736,845. On December 15, 2022, the lawsuit.SCAQMD accepted our counter proposal. On September 29, 2017,March 13, 2023, the court granted our motion to dismiss as well asparties executed the SCAQMD’s motion to dismiss with leave for the plaintiff to amend and denied plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction. We believe the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.settlement agreement.
On February 17, 2017, in Arnold Goldstein, et al. v. Exxon Mobil Corporation, et al., PBF Energy Inc.we and PBF Energy Company LLC, and our subsidiaries, PBF Energy Western Region LLC and Torrance Refining

Company LLC and the manager of our Torrance refinery along with Exxon Mobil CorporationExxonMobil were named as defendants in a class action and representative action complaint filed on behalf of Arnold Goldstein, John Covas, Gisela Janette La Bella and others similarly situated. The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles and alleges negligence, strict liability, ultrahazardousultra-hazardous activity, a continuing private nuisance, a permanent private nuisance, a continuing public nuisance, a permanent public nuisance and trespass resulting from the February 18, 2015 electrostatic precipitator (“ESP”) explosion at the Torrance refinery which was then owned and operated by Exxon.ExxonMobil. The operation of the Torrance refinery by the PBF entities subsequent to our acquisition in July 2016 is also referenced in the complaint. To the extent that plaintiffs’ claims relate to the ESP explosion, Exxon hasExxonMobil retained responsibility for any liabilities that would arise from the lawsuit pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition of the Torrance refinery. This matter isOn July 2, 2018, the Court granted leave to plaintiffs to file a Second Amended Complaint alleging groundwater contamination. With the filing of the Second Amended Complaint, plaintiffs added an additional plaintiff, Hany Youssef. On October 15, 2019, the judge granted certification to two limited classes of property owners with Youssef as the sole class representative and named plaintiff, rejecting two other proposed subclasses based on negligence and on strict liability for ultrahazardous activities. The certified subclasses relate to trespass claims for ground contamination and nuisance for air emissions. On February 5, 2021, our motion for Limited Extension of Discovery Cut-Off and a Motion by plaintiffs for Leave to File Third Amended Complaint were heard by the Court. On May 5, 2021, the Court granted plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint for the third time to substitute Navarro for Youssef. On May 12, 2021, plaintiffs filed their Third Amended Complaint (“TAC”) that contained significant changes and new claims, including individual claims, that were not included in the initial stagesmotion for leave to amend plaintiffs presented to the Court. On June 9, 2021, we filed a Motion to Dismiss/Strike the TAC. On June 23, 2021, plaintiffs filed their opposition to our Motion to Dismiss/Strike, to which we filed our reply on July 2, 2021. A hearing on the Motion to Dismiss/Strike the TAC was held on August 2, 2021 and the Court ordered that the TAC be struck and that the parties meet and confer with respect to the complaint. After meeting and conferring, plaintiffs agreed to submit a corrected TAC with changes reflecting the removal of discoveryYoussef and the substitution of Navarro as the named Plaintiff. On August 23, 2021, the Court approved the parties’ stipulation to take Navarro’s deposition on September 23, 2021. Also, on August 23, 2021, the Court approved the parties’ stipulation to continue the pretrial dates with the new deadlines. On October 8, 2021, plaintiffs filed their Motion to Appoint Navarro as Class Representative. On October 29, 2021, we cannotfiled our opposition to this motion. On November 15, 2021, plaintiffs filed their reply. On February 8, 2022, the Court held a hearing on plaintiff’s Motion to Appoint Navarro as Class Representative but did not act on the motion. Instead, the Court ordered the parties to submit draft orders for the Court’s consideration. After considering the parties’ proposed orders, on July 5, 2022, the Court issued a final order ruling that Plaintiffs’ Motion to Substitute Navarro as

Class Representative was denied and decertifying both of Plaintiffs’ proposed Air and Ground Subclasses. The order provided that the case will proceed with Navarro as the sole plaintiff and required the parties to meet and confer and propose a schedule for the remaining pretrial dates and a trial date. On July 19, 2022, Plaintiff filed a petition with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals seeking permission to appeal the District Court’s decertification order finding that Navarro is an inadequate class representative. Our answer to the petition was filed on July 29, 2022. On September 22, 2022, the Ninth Circuit issued an order denying Plaintiffs’ petition for permission to file an interlocutory appeal, confirming that the case will proceed with Navarro as the sole plaintiff. On September 27, 2022, the Plaintiff filed a schedule of pretrial and trial dates with a trial date of July 18, 2023, which was approved by the Court. On January 13, 2023, the Defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings. On January 23, 2023, the Plaintiff filed its opposition to the Defendants’ motion. Defendants’ reply to Plaintiff’s opposition was filed on January 30, 2023. Defendants’ motion was scheduled to be heard by the Court on February 13, 2023. On February 27, 2023, the Court issued an order granting our motion for judgment on the pleadings and dismissed Plaintiff’s trespass claim with prejudice and granted Plaintiff leave to amend his nuisance claims in conformity with the order if he can do so consistent with Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures. On March 27, 2023, Plaintiff filed a Fourth Amended Complaint (“FAC”) relating to the remaining nuisance claims. On April 7, 2023, we responded to the FAC by filing a motion to dismiss for Plaintiff’s failure to establish standing to bring the nuisance claims. On April 17, 2023, Plaintiff filed its opposition to our motion. On April 24, 2023, we filed our reply to Plaintiff’s opposition. A hearing on our motion was scheduled for May 8, 2023 but, on May 2, 2023, the Court took the hearing on the motion off calendar. The Court may set a new hearing date if it decides that oral arguments are necessary. We presently believe the outcome of this litigation will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On September 7, 2021, MRC filed a Verified Petition for Writ of Mandate and Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief against the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (“BAAQMD”) requesting the Court to declare as invalid, unenforceable, and ultra vires the BAAMQD’s July 21, 2021, adoption of amendments to Regulation 6-5: Particulate Emissions from Refinery Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Units - 2021 Amendment (“Rule 6-5 Amendment”). MRC is also seeking a writ of mandate ordering the BAAQMD to vacate and rescind the adoption of the Rule 6-5 Amendment, as well as appropriate declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and reasonable costs incurred by MRC to bring this Petition/Complaint. In the Petition/Complaint MRC alleges that: its feasible alternative Particulate Matter (“PM”) reduction proposal that would achieve significant PM reductions while avoiding the significant costs and environmental impacts of the BAAQMD’s adopted PM limit, was improperly removed from consideration and not presented to the BAAQMD Board when the Rule 6-5 Amendment was adopted with the current PM standard; when adopting the Rule 6-5 Amendment, the BAAQMD flagrantly ignored numerous mandatory requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the California Health and Safety Code; the BAAQMD’s adoption of the Rule 6-5 Amendment also violated California common law; and these failings render the Rule 6-5 Amendment ultra vires, illegal, and unenforceable. We held mandatory settlement conferences with the BAAQMD on October 27, 2021 and December 15, 2021. On December 9, 2022, we filed a Motion to Augment/Correct the Administrative Record regarding various documents that the BAAQMD is currently estimatewithholding and do not plan to include in the amountadministrative record. On December 30, 2022, the BAAQMD filed its opposition to our motion. On January 12, 2023, we filed our reply to the BAAQMD’s opposition. The hearing on our motion was held on February 2, 2023. At the hearing, although the Court partially denied our motion concerning documents where the BAAQMD asserted the attorney client privilege, the Court held that CEQA places a heavy burden on the BAAQMD in justifying withholding documents based on the deliberative privilege. At the Court’s request, the parties agreed to a process whereby they jointly identified approximately 50 of the withheld/redacted documents for the Court to review. The Court ruled on those documents on February 22, 2023, ordering full disclosure of two types of documents related to the BAAQMD’s cost-estimates for the rule. In compliance with the Court’s order, in March 2023, the BAAQMD produced additional or less-redacted versions of previously produced documents. On March 27, 2023, the timing of its resolution.Court entered a stipulation establishing the schedule going forward with the bench trial currently scheduled for September 20, 2023. We presently believe the outcome will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On February 15, 2017, we received another notification

The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), also known as “Superfund,” imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current or former owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that EPA records indicated that we used potentially invalid RINs that were in fact verified underdisposed of or arranged for the EPA’s RIN Quality Assurance Program (“QAP”) by an independent auditor as QAP A RINs.disposal of the hazardous substances. Under the regulations use of potentially invalid QAP A RINs provided the user with an affirmative defense from civil penalties provided certain conditions are met. We have asserted the affirmative defense and if accepted by the EPA will not be required to replace these RINs and will notCERCLA, such persons may be subject to civil penalties underjoint and several liability for investigation and the program.costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. As discussed more fully above, certain of our sites are subject to these laws and we may be held liable for investigation and remediation costs or claims for natural resource damages. It is reasonably possiblenot uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances or other pollutants released into the environment. Analogous state laws impose similar responsibilities and liabilities on responsible parties. In our current normal operations, we have generated waste, some of which falls within the statutory definition of a “hazardous substance” and some of which may have been disposed of at sites that may require cleanup under Superfund.
As the EPA will not accept our defense and may assess penalties in theseultimate outcomes of the pending matters discussed above are uncertain, we cannot currently estimate the final amount or timing of their resolution but any such amount is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.flows, individually or in the aggregate.
