(a) | Cost of materials and other for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019 includes a benefit of $449 million for the blender’s tax credit attributable to volumes blended during 2019 and 2018. The benefit was recognized in December 2019 because the U.S legislation authorizing the credit was passed and signed into law in that month. The $449 million pre-tax benefit is attributable to volumes blended during the two years and is reflected in our reportable segments as follows (in millions): |

(b) | Other operating expenses reflects expenses that are not associated with our cost of sales and primarily includes costs to repair, remediate, and restore our facilities to normal operations following a non-operating event such as a natural disaster or a major unplanned outage. |
(c) | General and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the year ended December 31, 2018 includes a charge of $108 million for environmental reserve adjustments associated with certain non-operating sites. |
(d) | “Other income, net” for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 includes a $22 million charge from the early redemption of $850 million of our 6.125 percent senior notes due February 1, 2020 and a $38 million charge from the early redemption of $750 million of our 9.375 percent senior notes due March 15, 2019, respectively. |
(e) | On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Reform) was enacted, and we recognized an income tax benefit in December 2017 that represented our initial estimate of the impact of Tax Reform. We finalized our estimates during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and recorded an income tax benefit of $12 million during the period. |
(f) | Income tax expense for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018 includes the recognition of a foreign tax credit, resulting from rules proposed in December 2018 by the Internal Revenue Service, which provided guidance on the foreign tax credit limitation under Tax Reform. We estimate that $42 million of the foreign tax credit recognized in the fourth quarter is attributable to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. |
(g) | Effective January 1, 2019, we revised our reportable segments to align with certain changes in how our chief operating decision maker manages and allocates resources to our business. Accordingly, we created a new reportable segment — renewable diesel. The results of the renewable diesel segment, which includes the operations of our consolidated joint venture, Diamond Green Diesel Holdings LLC (DGD), were transferred from the refining segment. Also effective January 1, 2019, we no longer have a VLP segment, and as a result, the operations previously included in the VLP segment |
(h) | We use certain financial measures (as noted below) in the earnings release tables and accompanying earnings release that are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are considered to be non-GAAP measures. |
◦ | Adjusted net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders is defined as net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders excluding the items noted below, along with their related income tax effect. We have excluded these items because we believe that they are not indicative of our core operating performance and that their exclusion results in an important measure of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our underlying business results and trends. The basis for our belief with respect to each excluded item is provided below. |
– | Blender’s tax credit attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders - We regularly blend renewable diesel with petroleum-based diesel even when there is no U.S. federal tax credit associated with such blending activity. From time to time, the legislation authorizing the blender’s tax credit has been applied retroactively, and we recognize the credit associated with volumes blended during the retroactive period at the time the legislation is signed into law (see note (a)). Therefore, when the period in which the blender’s tax credit is recognized differs from the period in which the blending occurred, we exclude the credit associated with prior-period blending from the period in which it was recognized. Accordingly, the adjustment to reflect the blender’s tax credit attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders that was recognized in 2019 and 2018 but associated with volumes blended in other periods is calculated as follows (in millions): |

– | Texas City Refinery fire expenses - The costs incurred to respond to and assess the damage caused by the fire that occurred at the Texas City Refinery are specific to that event and are not ongoing costs incurred in our operations. |
– | Environmental reserve adjustments - The environmental reserve adjustments are attributable to sites that were shut down by prior owners and subsequently acquired by us (referred to by us as non-operating sites) (see note (c)). |
– | Loss on early redemption of debt - The penalty and other expenses incurred in connection with the early redemption of our 6.125 percent senior notes due February 1, 2020 and 9.375 percent senior notes due March 15, 2019 (see note (d)) are not associated with the ongoing costs of our borrowing and financing activities. |
– | Income tax benefit from Tax Reform - The income tax benefit from Tax Reform (see note (e)) is associated with changes in U.S. tax legislation and is not indicative of our core performance. |
– | Foreign tax credit - The income tax benefit from the foreign tax credit (see note (f)) is attributable to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and is not indicative of our core performance during the three months ended December 31, 2018. |
◦ | Adjusted earnings per common share – assuming dilution is defined as adjusted net income attributable to Valero Energy Corporation stockholders divided by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding in the applicable period, assuming dilution. |
◦ | Refining margin is defined as refining operating income excluding the blender’s tax credit (see note (a)), operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating expenses. We believe refining margin is an important measure of our refining segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance. |
◦ | Ethanol margin is defined as ethanol operating income (loss) excluding operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), depreciation and amortization expense, and other operating expenses. We believe ethanol margin is an important measure of our ethanol segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance. |
◦ | Renewable diesel margin is defined as renewable diesel operating income excluding the blender’s tax credit (see note (a)), operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense), and depreciation and amortization expense. We believe renewable diesel margin is an important measure of our renewable diesel segment’s operating and financial performance as it is the most comparable measure to the industry’s market reference product margins, which are used by industry analysts, investors, and others to evaluate our performance. |
◦ | Adjusted refining operating income is defined as refining segment operating income excluding the blender’s tax credit (see note (a)) and other operating expenses. We believe adjusted refining operating income is an important measure of our refining segment’s operating and financial performance because it excludes items that are not indicative of that segment’s core operating performance. |
◦ | Adjusted ethanol operating income (loss) is defined as ethanol segment operating income (loss) excluding other operating expenses. We believe this is an important measure of our ethanol segment’s operating and financial performance because it excludes items that are not indicative of that segment’s core operating performance. |
◦ | Adjusted renewable diesel operating income is defined as renewable diesel segment operating income excluding the blender’s tax credit (see note (a)). We believe this is an important measure of our renewable diesel segment’s operating and financial performance because it excludes items that are not indicative of that segment’s core operating performance. |
◦ | Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding the items noted below. We believe adjusted net cash provided by operating activities is an important measure of our ongoing financial performance to better assess our ability to generate cash to fund our investing and financing activities. The basis for our belief with respect to each excluded item is provided below. |
– | Changes in current assets and current liabilities - Current assets net of current liabilities represents our operating liquidity. We believe that the change in our operating liquidity from period to period does not represent cash generated by our operations that is available to fund our investing and financing activities. |
