Exhibit 99.1

CVR Energy, Inc.

Preliminary Operating and Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2012

Based on preliminary operating results for the year ended December 31, 2012, CVR Energy’s net sales are expected to be between $8.5 billion and $8.6 billion and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $1.3 billion, compared to net sales of $5 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $685 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. CVR Energy’s net sales increase was primarily due to an increase in petroleum sales that resulted from significantly higher sales volumes in 2012. The increase in sales volumes was largely the result of inclusion of a full year’s results in 2012 of the Wynnewood refinery which was acquired by CVR Energy on December 15, 2011. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due largely to an increase in refining margins during 2012. The increase in refining margins was due to the inclusion of a full year of results for the Wynnewood refinery, increases in average sales prices per gallon for gasoline and distillates of approximately 1.5% and 1.8%, respectively, and a decrease in consumed crude oil costs. The increase in refining margins was partially offset by increased operating costs associated with the operation of the Wynnewood refinery in 2012 and realized losses on derivatives.
