Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Description of Business and Presentation of Financial Statements | Description of Business and Presentation of Financial Statements References herein to HF Sinclair, “we,” “our,” “ours,” and “us” refer only to HF Sinclair and its consolidated subsidiaries or to HF Sinclair or an individual subsidiary and not to any other person, with certain exceptions. References herein to Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”) with respect to time periods prior to the closing of the HEP Merger Transaction (as defined below) on December 1, 2023 refer to HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are an independent energy company that produces and markets high-value light products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, renewable diesel and other specialty products. We own and operate refineries located in Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Wyoming, Washington and Utah. We provide petroleum product and crude oil transportation, terminalling, storage and throughput services to our refineries and the petroleum industry. We market our refined products principally in the Southwest United States, the Rocky Mountains extending into the Pacific Northwest and in other neighboring Plains states and we supply high-quality fuels to more than 1,500 branded stations and license the use of the Sinclair brand at more than 300 additional locations throughout the country. We produce renewable diesel at two of our facilities in Wyoming and our facility in New Mexico. In addition, our subsidiaries produce and market base oils and other specialized lubricants in the United States, Canada and the Netherlands, and export products to more than 80 countries. On December 1, 2023, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 15, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among HEP, HF Sinclair, Navajo Pipeline Co., L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (“HoldCo”), Holly Apple Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Merger Sub”), HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the general partner of HEP (“HLH”), and Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of HLH (the “General Partner”), Merger Sub merged with and into HEP, with HEP surviving as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of HF Sinclair (the “HEP Merger Transaction”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding common unit representing a limited partner interest in HEP (an “HEP common unit”), other than the HEP common units already owned by HF Sinclair and its subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive 0.315 shares of HF Sinclair common stock and $4.00 in cash, without interest. The Merger Agreement consideration totaled $267.6 million in cash and resulted in the issuance of 21,072,326 shares of HF Sinclair common stock from treasury stock. The HEP Merger Transaction was accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation.” Since we controlled HEP both before and after the HEP Merger Transaction, the changes in our ownership interest in HEP resulting from the HEP Merger Transaction were accounted for as an equity transaction, and no gain or loss was recognized in our consolidated statements of income. The tax effects of the HEP Merger Transaction were recorded as adjustments to deferred income taxes and additional capital consistent with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” For a description of our existing indebtedness, as well as associated changes in connection with the HEP Merger Transaction, see Note 9. We have prepared these consolidated financial statements without audit. In management’s opinion, these consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2024, the consolidated results of income, comprehensive income and statements of equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Although certain notes and other information required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, we believe that the disclosures in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which were recast to reflect changes in our reportable segments as described in Note 14, and are included in Exhibit 99.1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Accounts Receivable: Our accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from customers that are primarily from sales of refined products and renewable diesel. Credit is extended based on our evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and in certain circumstances, collateral, such as letters of credit or guarantees, is required. We reserve for expected credit losses based on our historical loss experience as well as expected credit losses from current economic conditions and management’s expectations of future economic conditions. Credit losses are charged to the allowance for expected credit losses when an account is deemed uncollectible. Our allowance for expected credit losses wa s $3.0 million at June 30, 2024, and $3.2 million at December 31, 2023. Inventories: Inventories related to our refining operations are stated at the lower of cost, using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for crude oil and unfinished and finished refined products, or market. Inventories related to our renewables business are stated at the lower of cost, using the LIFO method for feedstock and unfinished and finished renewables products, or market. In periods of rapidly declining prices, LIFO inventories may have to be written down to market value due to the higher costs assigned to LIFO layers in prior periods. In addition, the use of the LIFO inventory method may result in increases or decreases to cost of sales in years that inventory volumes decline as the result of charging cost of sales with LIFO inventory costs generated in prior periods. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. Inventories of our Petro-Canada Lubricants and Sonneborn businesses are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. Inventories consisting of process chemicals, materials and maintenance supplies and RINs are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or net realizable value. Leases: At inception, we determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our payment obligation under the leasing arrangement. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to determine the present value of lease payments as most of our leases do not contain an implicit rate. Our IBR represents the interest rate that we would pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term in a similar economic environment. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. Operating leases are recorded in “Operating lease right-of-use assets” and current and noncurrent “Operating lease liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in “Properties, plants and equipment, at cost,” “Accrued liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets. Our lease term includes an option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. For certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities. Also, as a lessee, we separate non-lease components that are identifiable and exclude them from the determination of net present value of lease payment obligations. In addition, as a lessor, we do not separate the non-lease (service) component in contracts in which the lease component is the dominant component. We treat these combined components as an operating lease. We bifurcate the consideration received for sales-type lease contracts between lease and service revenue, with the service component accounted for within the scope of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Our consolidated statements of income reflect the lease revenue we recognize from contracts with third parties in which we are the lessor. As the lessor, we classify customer contracts that contain leases into one of three categories: operating leases, direct finance leases, or sales-type leases. This classification is determined by evaluating key factors such as the lease term, the fair value of the underlying asset, and the residual value of the underlying assets. Revenue Recognition: Revenues on refined products, branded fuel sales, renewable diesel, and excess crude oil sales are recognized when delivered (via pipeline, in-tank or rack), and the customer obtains control of such inventory, which is typically when title passes and the customer is billed. All revenues are reported inclusive of shipping and handling costs billed and exclusive of any taxes billed to customers. Shipping and handling costs incurred are reported in cost of materials and other. Our Lubricants & Specialties business has sales agreements with marketers and distributors that provide certain rights of return or provisions for the repurchase of products previously sold to them. Under these agreements, revenues and cost of revenues are deferred until the products have been sold to end customers. Our Lubricants & Specialties business also has agreements that create an obligation to deliver products at a future date for which consideration has already been received and recorded as deferred revenue. This revenue is recognized when the products are delivered to the customer. Our Midstream business recognizes revenues as products are shipped through its pipelines and terminals and as other services are rendered. Additionally, we have certain throughput agreements that specify minimum volume requirements, whereby we bill a customer for a minimum level of shipments in the event a customer ships below their contractual requirements. If there are no future performance obligations, we recognize these deficiency payments as revenue. In certain of these throughput agreements, a customer may later utilize such shortfall billings as credit towards future volume shipments in excess of its minimum levels within its respective contractual shortfall make-up period. Such amounts represent an obligation to perform future services, which may be initially deferred and later recognized as revenue based on estimated future shipping levels, including the likelihood of a customer’s ability to utilize such amounts prior to the end of the contractual shortfall make-up period. We recognize the service portion of these deficiency payments as revenue when we do not expect it will be required to satisfy these performance obligations in the future based on the pattern of rights exercised by the customer. Payment terms under our contracts with customers are consistent with industry norms and are typically payable within 30 days of the date of invoice. Foreign Currency Translation: Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using the weighted average exchange rates during the period presented. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. We have intercompany notes that were issued to fund certain of our foreign businesses. Remeasurement adjustments resulting from the conversion of intercompany financing amounts to functional currencies are recorded as gains and losses as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of income. Such adjustments are not recorded in the Lubricants & Specialties segment operations, but in Corporate and Other. See Note 14 for additional information on our segments. Income Taxes: Provisions for income taxes include deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences in income for financial and tax purposes, using the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method requires the effect of tax rate changes on deferred income taxes to be reflected in the period in which the rate change was enacted. The liability method also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance unless it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized. We account for U.S. tax on global intangible low-taxed income in the period in which it is incurred. Potential interest and penalties related to income tax matters are recognized in income tax expense. We believe we have the appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on our income tax returns and that our accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors, including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded income tax expense of $109.5 million compared to $245.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was principally due to lower pre-tax income during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period of 2023. Our effective tax rates were 18.9% and 21.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to the relationship between pre-tax results and non-taxable permanent differences. The difference in the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the impact of federal tax credits and the relationship between pre-tax results and the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest that is not included in income for tax purposes. Inventory Repurchase Obligations: We periodically enter into same-party sell/buy transactions, whereby we sell certain refined product inventory and subsequently repurchase the inventory in order to facilitate delivery to certain locations. Such sell/bu y transactions are accounted for as inventory repurchase obligations, under which proceeds received under the initial sale are recognized as an inventory repurchase obligation that is subsequently reversed when the inventory is repurchased. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we received proceeds of $13.1 million and $12.3 million, respectively, and subsequently repaid $13.6 million and $13.4 million, respectively, under these sell/buy transactions. Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” was issued. ASU 2023-07 requires, among other updates, enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. This aims to provide more decision-useful information to stakeholders by giving a clearer picture of the costs incurred by each reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures. In December 2023, ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” was issued. ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced annual disclosures regarding the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures.
