In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based uponon many detailed assumptions.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, which we refer to as “cautionary statements,” are disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our prospectus dated October 30, 2015 (Registration No. 333-206728) filed with the SEC on October 30, 2015 (the “Prospectus”)under “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this QuarterlyForm 10-Q, the Annual Report on Form 10-Q.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 of PBF Energy and PBF LLC, which we refer to as our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Substantially all of the Company’s operations are in the United States. The Company operates in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. The Company’s three oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and are aggregated into the Refining segment. PBFX is a publicly traded master limited partnership that was formed to operate logistical assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines, and storage facilities. PBFX's operations are aggregated into the Logistics 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.

If PBFX does not pay distributions on the subordinated units, the subordinated units will not accrue arrearages for those unpaid distributions. Each subordinated unit will convert into one common unit at the end of the subordination period.
PBFX engages in the receiving, handling and transferring of crude oil and the receipt, storage and delivery of crude oil, refined products and intermediates. All of PBFX’s revenue is derived from long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with PBF Holding, which include minimum volume commitments, for receiving, handling and transferring crude oil and refined products and storing crude oil andits refined products.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
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 environmental liability of $10,714 recordedobligations totaled $115.2 million as of September 30, 2015 ($10,476March 31, 2023 ($117.0 million as of December 31, 2014) 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%.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 accruedAccrued expenses and the non-current portion is recorded in otherOther long-term liabilities. As of September 30, 2015
The aggregate environmental liability reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $159.1 million and $157.7 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2014, this liability is self-guaranteed by2022, respectively, of which $144.3 million and $142.8 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 Company.future when the results of ongoing investigations become known, are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated.
Contingent Consideration
In connection with the acquisition of the Delaware CityMartinez refinery and related logistics assets, Valero Energy Corporation ("Valero") remains responsiblethe 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 will 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 thresholds, as defined in the agreement, for certain pre-acquisition environmental obligationsa period of up to $20,000 andfour years following the predecessor to Valero in ownershipacquisition closing date (the “Martinez Contingent Consideration”). Upon acquisition of the refinery, retains other historical obligations.
In connection with the Company recorded the estimated acquisition date fair value of the Delaware City assets andearn-out provision as contingent consideration of $77.3 million within “Other long-term liabilities” within 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 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 statesCompany’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Subsequent changes in the Northeast market began requiring heating oil sold in their state to contain no more than 15 PPM sulfur. Currently, six Northeastern states require heating oil with 15 PPM or less sulfur. By July 1, 2016, two more states are expected to adopt this requirement and by July 1, 2018 mostfair value of the remaining Northeastern states (except for Pennsylvania and New Hampshire) will require heating oil with 15 PPM or less sulfur. AllMartinez Contingent Consideration are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the heating oilMartinez Contingent Consideration was estimated to be $126.0 million as of March 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 Company currently produces meets these specifications.

The EPA issued the final Tier 3 Gasoline standards on March 3, 2014 under the Clean Air Act. This final rule establishes more stringent vehicle emission standards and further reduces the sulfur content of gasoline starting in January of 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 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 was required to release the final annual standards for the Reformulated Fuels Standard ("RFS") for 2014 no later than Nov 29, 2013 and for 2015 no later than Nov 29, 2014. The EPA did not meet these requirements but did release proposed standards for 2014. The EPA did not finalize this proposal in 2014. However, in May 2015,

1825

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT UNIT, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

the EPA re-proposed annual standards for RFS 2 for 2014, and proposed new standards for 2015 and 2016 and biomass-based diesel volumes for 2017. The EPA is proposing volume requirements in the annual standards which, while below the volumes originally set by Congress, would increase renewable fuel use in the U.S. above historical levels and provide for steady growth over time. The EPA is also proposing to increase the required volume of biomass-based diesel in 2015, 2016, and 2017 while maintaining the opportunity for growth in other advanced biofuels. The EPA has solicited comments on the proposed annual standards and held public hearings on June 25, 2015. Final action on this proposal is expected by November 30, 2015. If they are issued, the final standards may have a material impact on the Company's cost of compliance with RFS 2.
On September 12, 2012, the EPA issued final amendments to the New Source Performance Standards ("NSPS") for petroleum refineries, including standards for emissions of nitrogen oxides from process heaters and work practice standards and monitoring requirements for flares.  The Company has evaluated the impact of the regulation and amended standards on its refinery operations and currently does not expect the cost to comply to be material.
In addition, 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.

The Delaware City Rail Terminal and DCR West Rack are collocated with the Delaware City refinery, and are located in Delaware's coastal zone where certain activities are regulated under the Delaware Coastal Zone act. On June 14, 2013, two administrative appeals were filed by the Sierra Club and Delaware Audubon (collectively the "Appellants") regarding an air permit Delaware City Refining obtained to allow loading of crude oil onto barges. The appeals allege that both the loading of crude oil onto barges and the operation of the Delaware City Rail Terminal violate Delaware’s Coastal Zone Act. The first appeal is Number 2013-1 before the State Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board (the “CZ Board”), and the second appeal is before the Environmental Appeals Board (the "EAB") and appeals Secretary’s Order No. 2013-A-0020. The CZ Board held a hearing on the first appeal on July 16, 2013, and ruled in favor of Delaware City Refining and the State of Delaware and dismissed the Appellants’ appeal for lack of standing. The Appellants appealed that decision to the Delaware Superior Court, New Castle County, Case No. N13A-09-001 ALR, and Delaware City Refining and the State of Delaware filed cross-appeals. A hearing on the second appeal before the EAB, case no. 2013-06, was held on January 13, 2014, and the EAB ruled in favor of Delaware City Refining and the State and dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The Appellants also filed a Notice of Appeal with the Superior Court appealing the EAB’s decision. On March 31, 2015 the Superior Court affirmed the decisions by both the CZ Board and the EAB stating they both lacked jurisdiction to rule on the Appellants' appeal. The Appellants appealed to the Delaware Supreme Court, and, on November 5, 2015, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court decision.
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

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT UNIT, PER UNIT AND BARREL DATA)

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 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 entered into a tax receivable agreement with the PBF LLC Series A and PBF LLC Series B Unit holdersunitholders (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’sEnergy 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.LLC, PBF Holding or PBFX. 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 94.4%99.3% interest in PBF LLC as of September 30, 2015 (89.9% as ofboth March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2014).2022. 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.

As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, PBF Energy recognized a liability of $338.6 million related to the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation, reflecting the estimate of the undiscounted amounts that PBF Energy expects to pay under the agreement, net of the impact of any deferred tax asset valuation allowance recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board, Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes. As of March 31, 2023, $61.1 million of the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation is recorded as a current liability and represents PBF Energy’s best estimate of payments to be made within a year. As future taxable income is recognized, increases in PBF Energy’s Tax Receivable Agreement liability may be necessary in conjunction with the revaluation of deferred tax assets. Refer to “Note 12 - Income Taxes” for more details.

11. REVENUES
As described in “Note 15 - Segment Information”, the Company’s business consists of the Refining Segment and Logistics Segment. The following table provides information relating to the Company’s revenues for each product or group of similar products or services by segment for the periods presented.
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)20232022
Refining Segment:
Gasoline and distillates$8,232.6 $8,037.7 
Feedstocks and other417.8 334.9 
Asphalt and blackoils403.2 458.9

Logistics Segment:

Total revenue prior to eliminations9,384.0 9,217.6 
Elimination of intercompany revenue(89.0)(75.9)
Total Revenues$9,295.0 $9,141.7 
The majority of 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 ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The Company’s Logistics segment revenues are generated by charging fees for crude oil and refined products terminaling, storage and pipeline services based on the greater of contractual minimum volume commitments, as applicable, or the delivery of actual volumes based on contractual rates applied to throughput or storage volumes. A majority of the Company’s logistics revenues are generated by intercompany transactions and are eliminated in consolidation.
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 $74.1 million and $40.6 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.

12. INCOME TAXES
PBF Energy is required to file federal and applicable state corporate income tax returns and recognizes income taxes on its pre-tax income, which to-date has consisted primarily of its share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income (approximately 99.3% as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022). PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is a partnership, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income taxes apart from the income tax attributable to the two subsidiaries acquired in connection with the acquisition of Chalmette Refining and PBF Holding’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, PBF Energy Limited, that are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes, with the tax provision calculated based on the effective tax rate for the periods presented.
Valuation Allowance
The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of existing deferred tax assets. Negative evidence evaluated as part of this assessment includes cumulative losses incurred over a three-year period. Such objective evidence could limit PBF Energy’s ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as PBF Energy’s projections for future taxable income as market conditions, commodity prices and demand for refined products normalize.
On the basis of this evaluation, a valuation allowance is recorded to recognize only the portion of deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryover period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as PBF Energy’s projections for future taxable income.
The Company evaluated all available positive and negative evidence and determined that there was no valuation allowance, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, associated with deferred tax assets.
Inflation Reduction Act
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) was enacted and signed into law in the United States. The IRA is a budget reconciliation package that includes significant law changes relating to tax, climate change, energy, and health care. The tax provisions include, among other items, a corporate alternative minimum tax of 15%, an excise tax of 1% on corporate stock buy-backs, energy-related tax credits and incentives, and additional Internal Revenue Service funding. Based on the Company’s results over the past three fiscal years, the corporate alternative minimum tax is currently not applicable. The Company does not expect the other tax provisions of the IRA to have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The income tax provision in the PBF Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations consists of the following: 
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)20232022
Current income tax expense$84.1 $— 
Deferred income tax expense (benefit)42.4 (6.1)
Total income tax expense (benefit)$126.5 $(6.1)
The income tax provision is based on earnings before taxes attributable to PBF Energy and excludes earnings before taxes attributable to noncontrolling interests as such interests are generally not subject to income taxes except as noted above. PBF Energy’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, was 24.9% and 22.4%, respectively.

PBF Energy’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023, including the impact of income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $3.8 million, was 24.7%. PBF Energy’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022, including the impact of income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $17.8 million, was 64.9%.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, PBF Energy’s effective tax rate did not materially differ from the United States statutory rate, inclusive of state income taxes.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the difference between the United States statutory rate and PBF Energy’s effective tax rate was primarily attributable to changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
The reported income tax provision in the PBF LLC Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations consists of the following: 
Three Months Ended March 31,

Current income tax expense$0.1 $—

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.
Marketable securities, consisting primarily of US Treasury securities, categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices.
Non-qualified pension plan assets categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are measured at fair value using a market approach based on published net asset values of mutual funds and included within Deferred charges and other assets, net.
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 ofcommodity 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 supply arrangement obligations, 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 is estimated using discounted cash flow models based 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 upon commodity priceson published net asset values of mutual funds as a practical expedient. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $19.1 million and $18.6 million, respectively, were included within Deferred charges and other assets, net for similar instruments quoted in active markets.these non-qualified pension plan assets.

The purchase obligations related to crude oil, feedstocks, 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, 2015,March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 238,3062,180,628 and 1,945,994 barrels of crude oil and feedstocks (662,579 barrels at December 31, 2014) outstanding under these derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges, and no barrels (no barrels at December 31, 2014) outstanding under these derivative instruments not designated as hedges.respectively.

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, 2015,March 31, 2023, there were 45,651,00018,941,000 barrels of crude oil and 2,277,00014,409,000 barrels of refined products (47,339,000(17,890,000 and 1,970,871,12,175,200, respectively, as of December 31, 2014)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.

Chalmette Refining owns 100% of the MOEM Pipeline, providing access to the Empire Terminal, as well as the CAM Connection Pipeline, providing access to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port facility through a third party pipeline. Chalmette Refining also owns 80% of each of the Collins Pipeline Company and T&M Terminal Company, both located in Collins, Mississippi, which provide a clean products outlet for the refinery to the Plantation and Colonial Pipelines. Also included in the acquisition are a marine terminal capable of importing waterborne feedstocks and loading or unloading finished products; a clean products truck rack which provides access to local markets; and a crude and product storage facility.
The aggregate purchase price for the Chalmette Acquisition was $322,000 in cash, plus estimated inventory and working capital of $233,083, which is subject to final valuation within ninety days of closing. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s existing revolving credit line. A determination of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and the working capital at closing calculation is pending the completion of an independent appraisal and other evaluations.
The Chalmette Acquisition provides the Company with a broader more diversified asset base and increases the number of operating refineries from three to four and the Company's combined crude oil throughput capacity.

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 MidwestWest 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. We were formed in 2008 to pursue acquisitions of crude oil refineriesown and downstream assets in North America. As of September 30, 2015 we owned and operated threeoperate six domestic oil refineries and related assets, which we acquired in 2010 and 2011.assets. Our refineries have a combined processing capacity, known as throughput, of approximately 540,0001,000,000 barrels per day ("bpd"(“bpd”), and a weighted-average Nelson Complexity Index of 11.3. On November 1, 201512.7 based on current operating conditions. The complexity and throughput capacity of our refineries are subject to change dependent upon configuration changes we closed onmake to respond to market conditions, as well as a result of investments made to improve our acquisitionfacilities and maintain compliance with environmental and governmental regulations. We operate in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. Our six oil refineries are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and represent the ownership interests of Chalmette Refining L.L.C. ("Chalmette Refining"). See Business Developments for additional information.segment. PBFX operates certain logistical assets such as crude oil and refined products terminals, pipelines, and storage facilities, which represent the Logistics segment.
As of September 30, 2015, our threeOur six refineries are located in Toledo, Ohio, Delaware City, Delaware, and Paulsboro, New Jersey. Our Mid-ContinentJersey, Toledo, Ohio, Chalmette, Louisiana, Torrance, California and Martinez, California. Each refinery is briefly described in the table below:

The majority of Toledo’s West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") based crude is delivered via pipelines that originate in both Canada and the United States. Since our acquisition of Toledo in 2011, we have added additional truck and rail crude unloading capabilities that provide feedstock sourcing flexibilitythroughput capacity for the Paulsboro refinery would be 13.1 and enables Toledo to run180,000, respectively. As a more cost-advantaged crude slate. Our East Coast refineries at Delaware City and Paulsboro have a combined refining capacity of 370,000 bpd and Nelson Complexity Indices of 11.3 and 13.2, respectively. These high-conversion refineries process primarily medium and heavy, sour crudes and have historically received the bulk of their feedstock via ships and barges on the Delaware River.
Since our acquisitionresult of the Delaware City refinery, we expanded and upgraded the existing on-site railroad infrastructure, including the expansionreconfiguration of the crude rail unloading facilities. Currently, crude delivered by rail to this facility is consumed at our Delaware City refinery. We also transport some of the crude delivered by rail from Delaware City via barge to our Paulsboro refinery or other third party destinations. In 2014 we completed a project to expand the Delaware City heavy crude rail unloading terminal capability at the refinery from 40,000 bpd to 80,000 bpd and added additional unloading spots to the dual-loop track light crude rail unloading facility, which has increased its unloading capability from 105,000 bpd to 130,000 bpd. These projects bring total rail crude

unloading capability up to 210,000 bpd, subject to the delivery of coiled and insulated railcars, the development of crude rail loading infrastructure in Canada and the use of unit trains. The Delaware City rail unloading facilities, including the facilities now owned by PBFX, allows our East Coast refineries to source WTI price-based crude oils from Western Canadain 2020, and subsequent restart of several idled processing units at the Mid-Continent, which we believe at times may provide cost advantages versus traditional Brent based international crudes.Paulsboro refinery in 2022, our Nelson Complexity Index and throughput capacity were adjusted.

Business Developments
Recent significant business developments affecting the Companyus are discussed below.

Chalmette AcquisitionRenewable Diesel Facility
On November 1, 2015,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 Company acquired from ExxonMobil Oil Corporation, Mobil Pipe Line Company and PDV Chalmette, L.L.C., the ownership interests of Chalmette Refining, which owns therenewable diesel facility that is currently under construction at our Chalmette refinery and related logistics assets (collectively, the "Chalmette Acquisition"(the “Renewable Diesel Facility”). The ChalmetteRenewable Diesel Facility will incorporate certain existing idled assets at the refinery, located outside of New Orleans, Louisiana, is a 189,000 barrel per day, dual-train coking refineryincluding an idle hydrocracker, along with a Nelson Complexity of 12.7 and is capable of processing both light and heavy crude oil.

Upon consummation of the MOEM Pipeline, providing access to the Empire Terminal, as well as the CAM Connection Pipeline, providing access to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port facility through a third party pipeline. Chalmette Refining also owns 80% of each of the Collins Pipeline Company and T&M Terminal Company, both located in Collins, Mississippi, which provide a clean products outlet for the refinery to the Plantation and Colonial Pipelines. Also included in the acquisition are a marine terminal capable of importing waterborne feedstocks and loading or unloading finished products; a clean products truck rack which provides access to local markets; and a crude and product storage facility with approximately 7.5 million barrels of shell capacity.
The aggregate purchase price for the Chalmette Acquisition was $322.0 million in cash, plus inventory and working capital of $233.1 million,joint venture transaction, which is subject to final valuation within ninety dayscustomary 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 closing. The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on handproject milestones. As stipulated in the pending agreements with Eni, we will continue to manage project execution and borrowings underserve as the Company’s existing revolving credit line. A determinationoperator of the acquisition-date fair valuesfacility once construction is complete. Closing of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and the working capital at closing calculationjoint venture transaction is pending the completion of an independent appraisal and other evaluations.
The Chalmette Acquisition provides the Company with a broader more diversified asset base and increases the number of operating refineries from threecurrently estimated to four and the Company's combined crude oil throughput capacity from 540,000 bpd to approximately 730,000 bpd. The acquisition also provides the Company with a presencebe consummated in the attractive Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts ("PADD") 3 market.

Pending Torrance Acquisition
On September 29, 2015, PBF Holding entered into a definitive Salesecond or third quarter of 2023. The Renewable Diesel Facility remains under construction and Purchase Agreement (the “Torrance Sale and Purchase Agreement”) with ExxonMobil Oil Corporation and its subsidiary, Mobil Pacific Pipeline Company (together, the "Torrance Sellers"), to purchase the Torrance refinery, and related logistics assets (collectively, the "Torrance Acquisition"). The Torrance refinery, located on 750 acres in Torrance, California, is a high-conversion 155,000 barrel per day, delayed-coking refinery with a Nelson Complexity of 14.9. 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. Including the estimated contribution of the Chalmette refinery, the Torrance Acquisition will further increase the Company's total throughput capacity to approximately 900,000 bpd.
In addition to refining assets, the Torrance Acquisition includes 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 171-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 are 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 Torrance Acquisition is $537.5 million, plus inventory and working capital to be valued at closing. The purchase price is also subject to other customary purchase price adjustments. The Torrance Acquisition is expected to closebe producing renewable diesel, and other products, in the second quarterfirst half of 2016, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Additionally, as a condition of closing, the Torrance refinery is to be restored to full working order with respect to the event that occurred on February 18, 2015 resulting in damage to the electrostatic precipitator and related systems, and shall have operated as required under the Torrance Sale and Purchase Agreement for a period of at least fifteen days after such restoration. We expect to finance the transaction with a combination of cash on hand, debt, including the proceeds from the issuance of the 7.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2023, and proceeds contributed to us in connection with PBF Energy's equity offering completed on October 13, 2015. In addition, PBF Energy has guaranteed all payment and performance obligations of PBF Holding that relate to or arise out of the Sale and Purchase Agreement related to the Torrance Acquisition. Following the expected completion of the Torrance Acquisition, our weighted average Nelson Complexity Index will increase to 12.2.2023.

As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, PBF Energy recognized a liability for the Tax Receivable Agreement of $338.6 million, reflecting the estimate of the undiscounted amounts that PBF Energy expected to pay under the agreement, net of any impacts of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance recognized in accordance with ASC 740. As of March 31, 2023, $61.1 million of the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation is recorded as a resultcurrent liability and represents PBF Energy’s best estimate of payments to be made within a year. As future taxable income is recognized, increases in PBF Energy’s Tax Receivable Agreement liability may be necessary in conjunction with the termination. We began sourcing our own crude oil needs for Toledo upon termination.revaluation of deferred tax assets.

Results of Operations
The tables below reflect our consolidated financial and operating highlights for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2023 and 20142022 (amounts in thousands)millions, except per share data). Differences between the results of operations of PBF Energy and PBF LLC primarily pertain to income taxes, interest expense and noncontrolling interest as shown below. Earnings per share information applies only to the financial results of PBF Energy. We operate in two reportable business segments: Refining and Logistics. Our three oil refineries, excluding the assets operated by PBFX, are all engaged in the refining of crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, and are aggregated intorepresent the Refining segment. PBFX is a publicly traded master limited partnershipan indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Energy and PBF LLC that operates logisticalcertain logistics assets such as crude oil and refined petroleum products terminals, pipelines and storage facilities. PBFX'sPBFX’s operations are aggregated intorepresent the Logistics segment. Prior to the PBFX Offering, DCR West Rack acquisition, Toledo Tank Farm acquisition and the Delaware City Products Pipeline and Truck Rack acquisition, PBFX's assets were operated within the refining operations of our Delaware City and Toledo refineries and wereWe do not considered to be a separate reportable segment. We did not analyzeseparately discuss our results by individual segmentsegments as, apart from PBFX’s third-party acquisitions, our Logistics segment doesdid not have any third party revenuesignificant third-party revenues and substantially alla significant portion of its operating results eliminateare eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, third party expenses attributable directly to the Logistics segment are immaterial relative to our consolidated operating results.

Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were negatively impacted by a non-cash special item consisting of a non-cash inventory lower of cost or market ("LCM") adjustment of approximately $208.3 million on a net basis, which includes the reversal of the LCM charge recorded in the second quarter of 2015. The LCM adjustment is a result of the changing crude oil and refined product prices from the second quarter of 2015 to the end of the third quarter of 2015. During this period the prices have remained below historical costs. Excluding the impact of the net change in LCM reserve of $208.3 million, our resultsMarch 31, 2023 were positively impacted by higher crack spreadsspecial items consisting of a change in fair value of contingent consideration of $16.3 million, or $12.1 million net of tax, related to the changes in the East Coast and Mid-Continent partially offset by unfavorable movements in crude oil differentials and the impactestimated fair value of the unplanned downtimeearn-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 Delaware CityTorrance refinery in August 2015 and planned turnaround at our Delaware City refinery in September 2015 which reduced throughput and increased operating expenses.
Revenues— Revenues totaled $3.2 billionof $1.7 million, or $1.3 million net of tax. Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2015 comparedMarch 31, 2022 were negatively impacted by special items consisting of a change in the fair value of the contingent consideration of $50.3 million, or $37.3 million net of tax, a $12.8 million tax expense associated with the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets, and pre-tax charges associated with the change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability of $19.3 million, or $14.3 million net of tax.
Excluding the impact of these special items, when comparing our results to $5.3the 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, as well as overall stronger refining margins due to favorable movements in crack spreads and crude oil differentials. These improving metrics have positively impacted our revenues, gross margin and operating income.
Revenues— Revenues totaled $9.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decreaseMarch 31, 2023 compared to $9.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of approximately $2.0$0.2 billion,, or 38.8%2.2%. Revenues per barrel were $101.97 and $107.58 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of 5.2% directly related to lower hydrocarbon commodity prices. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the total throughput rates in the East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 301,800 bpd and 173,600 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2014,March 31, 2023, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and Mid-ContinentWest Coast refineries averaged approximately 344,100326,400 bpd, 93,200 bpd, 169,100 bpd and 151,400262,500 bpd, respectively. The decline inFor the three months ended March 31, 2022, the total throughput rates at our East Coast, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and West Coast refineries in 2015 compared to 2014 is primarily due to unplanned downtime at our Delaware City refinery in August 2015averaged approximately 263,100 bpd, 136,700 bpd, 163,100 bpd and a planned turnaround in September 2015 at our Delaware City refinery. The increase in throughput rates at our Mid-Continent refinery in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily attributable to favorable market conditions at our Toledo refinery in the third quarter of 2015.269,700 bpd, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the

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— Consolidated gross margin totaled $576.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $196.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of approximately $379.6 million. Gross refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $359.2$1,405.8 million, or $8.21 per barrel of throughput ($567.5 million or $12.97 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items), for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $574.4 million, or $12.60 per barrel of throughput during the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of $215.2 million. Gross margin, including refinery operating expenses and depreciation, totaled $150.8 million, or $3.45$18.35 per barrel of throughput for the three months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2023 compared to $322.1$850.7 million, or $7.10$11.36 per barrel of throughput for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decreaseMarch 31, 2022, an increase of $171.3approximately $555.1 million. Excluding the impact of special items,Consolidated gross margin and gross refining margin increased due to improvedfavorable movements in certain crack spreads inand crude oil differentials and higher throughput volumes and barrels sold at the East Coastmajority of our refineries. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the Mid-Continent partially offset by unfavorable movements in crude differentials in both the East Coast and the Mid-Continent and lower throughput rates atMarch 31, 2022, our East Coast refineries. In addition, gross margin and gross refining margincalculations were negativelynot impacted by a non-cash LCM adjustment of approximately $208.3special items.
Additionally, our results continue to be impacted by significant costs to comply with the RFS. Total RFS compliance costs were $181.1 million on a net basis resulting fromfor the change in crude oil and refined product prices fromthree months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $194.4 million for the end of the second quarter of 2015 to the end of the third quarter of 2015, which remained below historical costs.three months ended March 31, 2022.
Average industry refining margins in the Mid-Continent were strongerfavorable during the three months ended September 30, 2015 asMarch 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2014. The WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was approximately $24.03 per barrel or 44.5%2022, primarily due to increased refining margins as a result of 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 incrude costs and negatively impact our earnings.
On the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $16.63 per barrel inEast Coast, the same period in 2014. However, our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific crude slate in the Mid-Continent which was impacted by a declining WTI/Syncrude differential, which averaged approximately $1.02 per barrel in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to $4.12 per barrel in the third quarter of 2014.
The Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $17.60$31.53 per barrel, or 26.5%45.4% higher, in the three months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2023, as compared to $13.91$21.69 per barrel in the same period in 2014. The WTI/Dated Brent differential and2022. Our margins were impacted from our refinery specific slate on the East Coast by strengthened Dated Brent/Maya and WTI/Bakken differentials, were $0.45which increased by $6.18 per barrel and $3.46 lower,$0.59 per barrel, respectively, in comparison to the same period in 2022. The WTI/WCS differential increased to $19.30 per barrel in the three months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2023 compared to $15.31 in the same period in 2022, which favorably impacted our cost of heavy Canadian crude.
Across the Mid-Continent, the WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was $29.07 per barrel, or 62.0% higher, in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $17.94 per barrel in the same period in 2022. Our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific slate in the Mid-Continent by a weakened WTI/Syncrude differential, which decreased by $3.22 per barrel, slightly offset by a strengthened WTI/Bakken differential, which increased by $0.59 per barrel, in comparison to the same period in 2014. In addition,2022.
On the WTI/Bakken differentialGulf Coast, the LLS (Gulf Coast) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $3.17$34.12 per barrel, less favorableor 41.3% higher, in the three months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2023 as compared to $24.14 per barrel in the same period in 2014.2022. 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.

The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to $11.9 millionoverall increases in natural gas volume and price across our refineries when compared to the same period in 2022. Additionally, we experienced higher maintenance and repair expenses related to the unplanned downtime at our Delaware City refinery and $2.5 million of higher employee wage and benefits expenses which were predominantly offset by a decrease of $13.0 million in energy relatedoperational costs due to lower natural gasscheduled turnarounds and electricity prices. Our operating expenses principally consist of salaries and employee benefits, maintenance, energy and catalyst and chemicals costs at our refineries. The operating expenses related to the Logistics segment consists of costs related to the operation and maintenance of PBFX's assets subsequent to the PBFX Offering.increased production.

Income Tax Expense— PBF LLC is organized as a limited liability company and PBFX is a partnership, both of which are treated as “flow-through” entities for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not subject to income tax. However, two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining, L.L.C. (“Chalmette Refining”) and our Canadian subsidiary, PBF Energy Limited, are treated as C-Corporations for income tax purposes and may incur income taxes with respect to their earnings, as applicable. The members of PBF LLC are required to include their proportionate share of PBF LLC’s taxable income or loss, on their respective tax returns. PBF LLC generally makes distributions to its members, per the terms of PBF LLC’s amended and restated limited liability company agreement, related to such taxes on a pro-rata basis. PBF Energy recognizes an income tax expense or benefit in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on PBF Energy’s allocable share of PBF LLC’s pre-tax income or loss, which was approximately 99.3% and 99.2%, on a weighted-average basis for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. PBF Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect any benefit or provision for income taxes on the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests in PBF LLC (although, as described above, PBF LLC must make tax distributions to all its members on a pro-rata basis). PBF Energy’s effective tax rate, including the impact of noncontrolling interests, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was 24.9% and 22.4%, respectively.
Noncontrolling Interest— PBF Energy is the sole managing member of, and has a controlling interest in, PBF LLC. As a resultthe sole managing member of PBF LLC, PBF Energy operates and controls all of the initial public offeringbusiness and affairs of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries. PBF Energy consolidates the financial results of PBF LLC and its subsidiaries, including PBFX. With respect to the consolidation of PBF LLC, we record a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in PBF LLC held by members other than PBF Energy, with respect to the consolidation of PBFX, the Company recordswe recorded a noncontrolling interest for the economic interests in PBFX held by the public unit holdersunitholders of PBFX.PBFX prior to the close of the Merger Transaction, and with respect to the consolidation of PBF Holding, we record a 20% noncontrolling interest for the ownership interests in two subsidiaries of Chalmette Refining held by a third-party.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared toPBF LLC other than PBF Energy and by the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Overview— Net income was $468.2 millionthird-party stockholders of the two Chalmette Refining subsidiaries. PBF Energy’s weighted-average equity noncontrolling interest ownership percentage in PBF LLC for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015 compared to net income of $553.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net income attributable to PBF LLCMarch 31, 2023 and 2022 was $441.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to net income attributable to PBF LLC of $546.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.approximately 0.7% and 0.8%, respectively. The net income or loss attributable to PBF LLC includes PBF LLC’s equity interest in its operating subsidiaries' net income.
Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were negatively impacted by a non-cash special item consisting of a non-cash inventory lower of cost or market ("LCM") adjustment of approximately $81.1 million on a net basis, which includes the reversalcarrying amount of the LCM charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014. The LCM adjustment is a result of the changing crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended 2014 to the end of the third quarter of 2015. During this period the prices have remained below historical costs. Excluding the impact of the net change in LCM reserve of $81.1 million,noncontrolling interest on our results were negatively impacted by unfavorable movements in certain crude oil differentials and the impact of the unplanned downtime at our Toledo refinery and Delaware City refinery in June and August 2015, respectively, which increased operating expenses and reduced throughput, partially offset by higher crack spreads on the East Coast and Mid-Continent.
Revenues— Revenues totaled $9.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $15.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately $5.5 billion, or 36.2%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the total throughput rates in the East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 325,400 bpd and 152,700 bpd, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the total throughput rates at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 320,400

42


bpd and 145,500 bpd, respectively. The increase in throughput rates at our East Coast refineries in 2015 compared to 2014 is primarily due to favorable market conditions, partially offset by unplanned down time at our Delaware City refinery in August 2015 and a planned turnaround in September 2015. The increase in throughput rates at our Mid-Continent refinery is due to favorable market conditions at our Toledo refinery in the third quarter of 2015, partially offset by an unplanned downtime in the second quarter of 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the total barrels sold at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 363,400 bpd and 163,000 bpd, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the total barrels sold at our East Coast and Mid-Continent refineries averaged approximately 341,600 bpd and 152,700 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 refining margin (as described below in Non-GAAP Financial Measures) totaled $1,349.0 million, or $10.33 per barrel of throughput ($1,430.2 million or $10.95 per barrel of throughput excluding the impact of special items), for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $1,531.6 million, or $12.04 per barrel of throughput during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of $182.6 million. Gross margin, including refinery operating expenses and depreciation, totaled $686.4 million, or $5.26 per barrel of throughput, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $746.6 million, or $5.89 per barrel of throughput, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of $60.2 million. Excluding the impact of special items, gross margin and gross refining margin decreased due to unfavorable movements in crude differentials partially offset by improved crack spreads in the East Coast and the Mid-Continent and higher throughput rates. In addition, gross margin and gross refining margin were negatively impacted by a non-cash LCM adjustment of approximately $81.1 million on a net basis resulting from the change in crude oil and refined product prices from the year ended 2014 to the end of the third quarter of 2015, which remained below historical costs.
Average industry refining margins in the Mid-Continent were stronger during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The WTI (Chicago) 4-3-1 industry crack spread was approximately $20.09 per barrel or 15.5% higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $17.40 per barrel in the same period in 2014. Alternatively, our margins were negatively impacted from our refinery specific crude slate in the Mid-Continent which was impacted by a declining WTI/Syncrude differential, which averaged a premium of $1.19 per barrel during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to a discount of $1.97 per barrel in the same period of 2014.
The Dated Brent (NYH) 2-1-1 industry crack spread was approximately $17.75 per barrel, or 35.8% higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $13.07 per barrel in the same period in 2014. The WTI/Dated Brent differential and Dated Brent/Maya differential were $2.14 and $6.40 lower, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. In addition, the WTI/Bakken differential was approximately $1.49 per barrel less favorable in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.
Operating Expenses— Operating expenses totaled $635.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $682.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of $46.3 million, or 6.8%. Of the total $635.9 million of operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, $625.5 million, or $4.79 per barrel of throughput, related to expenses incurred by the Refining segment, while the remaining $10.4 million related to expenses incurred by the Logistics segment. The decrease in operating expenses was mainly attributable to a decrease of $64.8 million in energy related costs primarily attributable to lower natural gas and electricity prices. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $12.8 million in maintenance and repair expenses directlyCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets attributable to the unplanned downtime at our Delaware City and Toledo refineries and $3.9 million in chemical and catalyst related expenses. Our operating expenses principally consist of salaries and employee benefits, maintenance, energy and catalyst and chemicals costs at our refineries.

primarily relates to expenses incurred associated with PBFX and employee compensation costs. Our general and administrative expenses are comprised of the personnel, facilities and other infrastructure costs necessary to support our refineries.
Gain on Sale of Assets— Gain on sale of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $1.1 million as compared to $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the sale of railcars which were subsequently leased back.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense— Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $144.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $135.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $8.5 million. The increase was primarily a result of capital projects related to turnarounds completed in 2014, the completed expansion of the crude rail unloading facility at the Delaware City refinery in 2014 and refinery optimization projects at Toledo, partially offset by an impairment charge of $28.5 million in 2014.
Change in Fair Value of Catalyst Leases— Change in the fair value of catalyst leases represented a gain of $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to a gain of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. These gains 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.
Interest Expense, net— Interest expense totaled $80.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $76.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of approximately $3.4 million. This increase is mainly attributable to higher interest costs associated with the issuance of the PBFX Revolving Credit Facility and the PBFX Term Loan in connection with the PBFX Offering as well as the issuance of the PBFX Senior Notes in May 2015 partially offset by the termination of our crude and feedstock supply agreement with MSCG, effective July 31, 2014. Interest expense includes interest on long-term debt including the PBFX credit facilities, costs related to the sale and leaseback of our precious metals catalyst, interest expense incurred in connection with our crude and feedstock supply agreement with Statoil, financing costs associated with the Inventory Intermediation Agreements with J. Aron, letter of credit fees associated with the purchase of certain crude oils, and the amortization of deferred financing costs.
Noncontrolling Interest— As a result of the initial public offering of PBFX, the Company records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interests in PBFX held by the public unit holders of PBFX. The total noncontrolling interest on the consolidated statement of operations represents the portion of the Company’s earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests held by the public common unit holders of PBFX. The total noncontrolling interest on the balance sheet represents the portion of the Company’s net assets attributable to the economic interests held by the public common unit holders of PBFX.

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 U.S. GAAP.GAAP (“Non-GAAP”). These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. 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. Such Non-GAAP financial measures are presented only in the context of PBF Energy’s results and are not presented or discussed in respect to PBF LLC.
Special Items
The non-GAAPNon-GAAP measures presented include Adjusted Fully-Converted net incomeNet Income (Loss) excluding special items, income from continuing operationsgross refining margin excluding special items, EBITDA excluding special items, and gross refining marginnet debt to capitalization excluding special items. The specialSpecial items for the periods presented relate to a LCM adjustment. LCM is a GAAP guideline related to inventory valuation that requires inventory to be stated atnet changes in fair value of contingent consideration, changes in the lower of cost or market. Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation methodology, in which the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost ofTax Receivable Agreement liability, gain on land sales, and inventories are valued at base layer acquisition costs. Market is determined basednet tax expense on an assessmentremeasurement 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 adjustmentdeferred tax assets. See “Notes to write down the value of inventory to market value in accordance with GAAP. In subsequent periods, the value of inventory is reassessed and a LCM adjustment is recorded to reflect the net change in the LCM inventory reserve between the prior period and the current period.Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more details on 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 more usefulhelpful 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.

Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) Excluding Special Items
PBF Energy utilizes results presented on an Adjusted Fully-Converted basis that reflects an assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. In addition, we present results on an Adjusted Fully-Converted basis excluding special items as described above. We believe that these Adjusted Fully-Converted measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors to compare PBF Energy results across different periods and to facilitate an understanding of our operating results.
Neither Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) nor Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) excluding special items should be considered an alternative to net income (loss) presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Fully-Converted Net Income (Loss) excluding special items presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently. The differences between Adjusted Fully-Converted and GAAP results are as follows:
1.    Assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock. As a result of the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units, the noncontrolling interest related to these units is converted to controlling interest. Management believes that it is useful to provide the per-share effect associated with the assumed exchange of all PBF LLC Series A Units.
2.    Income Taxes. Prior to PBF Energy’s initial public offering (“IPO”), PBF Energy was organized as a limited liability company treated as a “flow-through” entity for income tax purposes, and even after PBF Energy’s IPO, not all of its earnings are subject to corporate-level income taxes. Adjustments have been made to the Adjusted Fully-Converted tax provisions and earnings to assume that PBF Energy had adopted its post-IPO corporate tax structure for all periods presented and is taxed as a C-corporation in the U.S. at the prevailing corporate rates. These assumptions are consistent with the assumption in clause 1 above that all PBF LLC Series A Units are exchanged for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock, as the assumed exchange would change the amount of PBF Energy’s earnings that are subject to corporate income tax.

Gross Refining Margin and Gross Refining Margin Excluding Special Items
Gross refining margin is defined as consolidated gross margin excluding refinery depreciation, refinery operating expenses, and gross margin of PBFX. We believe both gross refining margin is anand gross refining margin excluding special items are important measuremeasures of operating performance and providesprovide useful information to investors because it is a betterthey are helpful metric comparison forcomparisons 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 sales)products and other) to industry refining margin benchmarks and crude oil prices as defined in the table below.
GrossNeither gross refining margin nor gross refining margin excluding special items should not 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 this termthese terms differently.

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 secured notes and other credit facilities. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to operating income from operations or net income 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 equity-basedadjustments for items such as stock-based compensation expense, gains (losses) from certain derivative activities andchange in the fair value of catalyst obligations, changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability due to factors out of PBF Energy’s control such as changes in tax rates, net change in the fair value of contingent consideration and thecertain other non-cash change in the deferral of gross profit related to the sale of certain finished products and the write down of inventory to the LCM.items. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting itstheir usefulness as a comparative measure.measures. EBITDA, EBITDA excluding special items and Adjusted EBITDA also hashave limitations as an analytical tooltools 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:

Net Debt to Capitalization Ratio and Net Debt to Capitalization Ratio Excluding Special Items
The total debt to capitalization ratio is calculated by dividing total debt by the sum of total debt and total equity. This ratio is a measurement that management believes is useful to investors in analyzing our leverage. Net debt and the net debt to capitalization ratio are Non-GAAP measures. Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from total debt. We believe these measurements are also useful to investors since we have the ability to and may decide to use a portion of our cash and cash equivalents to retire or pay down our debt. Additionally, we have also presented the total debt to capitalization and net debt to capitalization ratios excluding the cumulative effects of special items on equity.

(1)Represents the elimination of 2015, the Company recordednoncontrolling interest associated with the ownership by the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy, as if such members had fully exchanged their PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock.
(2)    Represents an adjustment to value its inventoriesreflect PBF Energy’s estimated annualized statutory corporate tax rate of approximately 26.0% and 25.9% for the 2023 and 2022 periods, respectively, applied to the lowernet income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest for all periods presented. The adjustment assumes the full exchange of cost or market whichexisting PBF LLC Series A Units as described in (1) above.
(3)    Special items:
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration, net - During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a net change in fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration. This change resulted in an increase to income from operations and net income by $16.3 million and $12.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a change in fair value of the Martinez Contingent Consideration which decreased income from operations and net impactincome by $50.3 million and $37.3 million, respectively.
Gain on Land Sales - During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a gain on the sale of $208.3a 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 reflectingand $1.3 million, respectively. There were no such gains in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Change in Tax Receivable Agreement liability - During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there was no change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $562.9 million at June 30, 2015 to $771.3 million at September 30, 2015.Tax Receivable Agreement liability. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015,March 31, 2022, we recorded a change in the CompanyTax Receivable Agreement liability that decreased income before income taxes and net income by $19.3 million and $14.3 million, respectively. The changes in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability reflect charges or benefits attributable to changes in PBF Energy’s obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement due to factors out of our control such as changes in tax rates, as well as periodic adjustments to our liability based, in part, on an updated estimate of the amounts that we expect to pay, using assumptions consistent with those used in our concurrent estimate of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Recomputed Income Tax on Special Items - The income tax impact on these special items, other than the net tax expense special item discussed below, is calculated using the tax rates shown in (2) above.
Net Tax Expense on Remeasurement of Deferred Tax Assets - The deferred tax valuation allowance was reduced to zero as of December 31, 2022, therefore, there was no impact to our financial statements related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a deferred tax valuation allowance of $316.3 million in accordance with ASC 740 (an increase of $7.8 million when compared to December 31, 2021, which includes a tax benefit of approximately $5.0 million related to our net change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability and a net tax expense of $12.8 million related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets).

Common stock equivalents exclude the effects of performance share units and options and warrants to purchase 29,500 and 14,804,565 shares of PBF Energy Class A common stock and PBF LLC Series A units because they are anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. For periods showing a net impact of $81.1 million reflecting the change in the lower of cost or market inventory reserve from $690.1 million at December 31, 2014 to $771.3 million at September 30, 2015.

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, 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'subsidiaries’ capital expenditure,expenditures, working capital needs, dividend payments, debt service, andshare repurchases under our share repurchase program, requirementsas well as PBF Energy’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, for the next twelve months. We expect to finance the planned Torrance Acquisition with a combination of cash on hand, debt, including the proceeds from the issuance of the 7.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2023, and proceeds contributed to us in connection with PBF Energy's October 2015 Equity Offering. 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 with all of the covenants, including financial covenants, forin all of our debt agreements.

In addition, the members of PBF LLC other than PBF Energy may (subject to the terms of the exchange agreement) exchange their PBF LLC Series A Units for shares of Class A common stock of PBF Energy on a one-for-one basis. As a result of both the purchase of PBF LLC Series A Units and subsequent secondary offerings and exchanges, PBF Energy is entitled to a proportionate share of the existing tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC. Such transactions have resulted in increases in the tax basis of the assets of PBF LLC that otherwise would not have been available.

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 for 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 inventory intermediationofftake agreements as well as through the use of various commodity derivative instruments.
Certain of our agreements reduce the time we are exposed to market price fluctuations. For example, our crude and feedstock supply agreement with Statoil allows us to take title to and price our crude oil at locations in close proximity to our refineries, as opposed to the crude oil origination point. The crude supply agreement with MSCG for our Toledo refinery, which terminated on July 31, 2014, allowed us to price and pay for our crude oil as it is processed at that refinery.
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 theour 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, 2015March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2014,2022, we had gross open commodity derivative contracts representing 47.933.4 million barrels and 49.330.1 million barrels, respectively, with an unrealized net gain of $22.8$28.4 million and $31.2unrealized net loss of $13.9 million, respectively. The open commodity derivative contracts as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2023 expire at various times during 20152023 and 2016.2024.
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 19.333.9 million barrels and 18.632.8 million barrels at September 30, 2015March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2014,2022, respectively.

If market prices of our inventory decline to a level below theour 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 37expect our annual consumption to range from 75 million to 95 million MMBTUs of natural gas amongst our threesix refineries. Accordingly, a $1.00 per MMBTU change in natural gas prices would increase or decrease our natural gas costs by approximately $37$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 Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs")credits needed to comply with various governmental and regulatory compliance programs, which includes RINs, required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard.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 whenor other environmental credits as part of our liability management strategy.
In addition, we are exposed to risks associated with complying with federal and state legislative and regulatory measures to address GHG 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 pricepurchase of emission credits or similar instruments.
Certain of these compliance contracts or instruments is deemed favorable.

The Rail Facility bears interest at a variable rate and exposes us to interest rate risk. A 1.0% change in the interest rate associated with the borrowings outstanding under this facility would result in a $1.5 million change in our interest expense, assuming the $150.0 million available under the Rail Facility were fully drawn.annually.
We also have interest rate exposure in connection with our Statoil crude oil agreement and J. AronThird Inventory Intermediation AgreementsAgreement under which we pay a time value of money charge based on LIBOR.

The first appeal is Number 2013-1 beforecertified 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 State Coastal Zone Industrial Control Board (the “CZ Board”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 motion 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 second appeal is beforeCourt ordered that the Environmental Appeals Board (the "EAB")TAC be struck and appeals Secretary’s Order No. 2013-A-0020. The CZ Boardthat 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 Youssef 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 filed 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 first appealmotion. Instead, the Court ordered the parties to submit draft orders for the Court’s consideration. After considering the parties’ proposed orders, on July 16, 2013,5, 2022, the Court issued a final order ruling that Plaintiffs’ Motion to Substitute Navarro as

Class Representative was denied and ruled in favordecertifying both of Delaware City RefiningPlaintiffs’ proposed Air and Ground Subclasses. The order provided that the Statecase 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 DelawareAppeals 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 Appellants’ appeal for lackorder if he can do so consistent with Rule 11 of standing. The Appellants appealed that decisionthe Federal Rules of Civil Procedures. On March 27, 2023, Plaintiff filed a Fourth Amended Complaint (“FAC”) relating to the Delaware Superior Court, New Castle County, Case No. N13A-09-001 ALR, and Delaware City Refining andremaining nuisance claims. On April 7, 2023, we responded to the State of DelawareFAC by filing a motion to dismiss for Plaintiff’s failure to establish standing to bring the nuisance claims. On April 17, 2023, Plaintiff filed cross-appeals.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 second appeal beforeCourt took the EAB, case no. 2013-06,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, Martinez Refining Company LLC (“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 withholding and do not plan to include in the administrative 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 January 13, 2014,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 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.
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 disposed of or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for investigation and the EAB ruled in favorcosts of DCRcleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the Statecosts of certain health studies. As discussed more fully above, certain of our sites are subject to these laws and dismissedwe may be held liable for investigation and remediation costs or claims for natural resource damages. It is not 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 appeal for lackenvironment. Analogous state laws impose similar responsibilities and liabilities on responsible parties. In our current normal operations, we have generated waste, some of jurisdiction. The Appellants also filedwhich falls within the statutory definition of a Notice“hazardous substance” and some of Appeal withwhich may have been disposed of at sites that may require cleanup under Superfund.
As the Superior Court appealing the EAB’s decision. On March 31, 2015 the Superior Court affirmed the decisions by both the CZ Board and the EAB stating they both lacked jurisdiction to rule on the Appellants' appeal. The Appellants appealed to the Delaware Supreme Court, and, on November 5, 2015, the Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court decision.
On July 24, 2013, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control ("DNREC") issued a Notice of Administrative Penalty Assessment and Secretary’s Order to Delaware City Refining for alleged air emission violations that occurred during the re-startultimate outcomes of the refinery in 2011 and subsequent topending matters discussed above are uncertain, we cannot currently estimate the re-start. The penalty assessment seeks $460,200 in penalties and $69,030 in cost recovery for DNREC’s expenses associated with investigationfinal amount or timing 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.
As of November 1, 2015, the Company acquired Chalmette Refining, which is 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 that occurred prior to acquisition by the Company. LDEQ commenced an enforcement action against Chalmette Refining on November 14, 2014 by issuing a Consolidated Compliance Order and Notice of Potential Penalty ("CCO/NOPP") covering deviations from 2009 and 2010. Chalmette Refining and LDEQ subsequently entered into a disputetheir resolution agreement, which suspends enforcement of the CCO/NOPP while negotiations are ongoing. It is possible that LDEQ will assess an administrative penalty against Chalmette Refining, but any such amount is not expected to behave a material to the Company.
